Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

However, the road was occasionally bumpy, and Lin Jingsheng was afraid that Jiang Ci's head would slip off.

He held Jiang Ci in his arms.

Jiang Cihao, who had already fallen asleep, was unaware of this, but this comfortable position made him sleep more soundly.

Feeling the gentle breath of the person in his arms, Lin Jingsheng smiled and felt extremely sweet in his heart.

He even had the idea that he wanted to continue on this path.

When we arrived at the town, the sun was setting and gradually sank behind the pavilions and towers in the distance. The whole town was shrouded in the afterglow of the sunset.

The streets were bustling with people returning home, some walking hurriedly, some leisurely, some laughing and talking, some silent.

But without exception, their faces were filled with satisfaction and joy, as if all the tiredness and exhaustion of the day had been released. At this moment, they were happy and joyful.

The afterglow of the sunset also shines on the houses and shops on both sides of the street, giving them a unique look.

Jiang Ci was awakened by the noisy noise and got up from Lin Jingsheng's arms.

"Hmm~"

"Aci, it will be fine in a while. The street will be quiet after this."

"Ah."

Jiang Ci looked around and saw that this was the place he was most familiar with. "Are we in town yet?"

"Well, we're in town, and almost home."

Jiang Ci had also slept for half an hour. She looked at the familiar street and stretched herself.

"We're almost home!"

Then he turned to ask Lin Jingsheng, "Are you sleepy? I've been sleeping all the way."

Even though Lin Jingsheng was seriously injured before and has only recovered not long ago, his physical condition is much better than Jiang Ci's at the beginning when her physical condition was comparable to Lin Daiyu's.

"I am not sleepy."

The rays of light from the west sprinkled on their backs. The couple sat on the donkey cart, leaning against each other, looking so beautiful.

A shadow was cast on his face. Jiang Ci tilted her head and looked carefully at Lin Jingsheng's face in the shadow. His facial features appeared even more profound.

The shallow scar at the end of his eyebrow made his face look even more fierce.

Lin Jingsheng let out a low laugh, his eyes curved, "What are you looking at, Ah Ci?"

This fierceness was covered by the gentleness when facing Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci: "Look at your appearance."

Lin Jingsheng teased, "Why, Ah Ci looks at me every day, but you still don't know what I look like?"

Jiang Ci: "Under this shadow, you can taste a different flavor."

In the sunset and breeze, the two kept chatting and were on their way home.

Jiang Ci: "When we get home, we should put recruiting on the agenda."

Lin Jingsheng: "Yes, we will start in a few days."

Jiang Ci: "First we need to find someone who can carry fat pork between the town and the county. Anyway, we can't join the race of one person alone.

Then there is the person who will prepare the lye water and lard made from wood ash. I haven't thought about this yet, as this is a key step in making soap. Apart from our family, I don't know who to choose.

As for the others, just let your parents not choose them."

There was a moment of silence between the two.

Lin Jingsheng hesitated and asked, "How many people can be used for this configuration?"

Jiang Ci: "For men, three can be used now."

Lin Jingsheng: "Aci, look at Xu Xiaosong and Zhao Niu who are having dinner with us today. If we ask them to do it, I guarantee they won't dare to tell anyone."

Jiang Ci: "As long as they don't tell anyone, anyone is fine."

Jiang Ci pondered over Lin Jingsheng's words several times in his mind.

What he said was "I dare not say it out loud", not that I won't say it out loud.

What does this include?

Jiang Ci didn't ask after all.

In the evening, Jiang Ci told Ye Wan and Lin Shan how many people were needed in each production workshop and asked them to start recruiting tomorrow.

There were people refining lard, boiling wood ash, and pouring molds. At the beginning, these people were less than 20 in total.

There is no place for grinding shells in the factory, and not much shell powder is needed, so it is not worth setting up a place specifically for grinding shells.

Jiang Ci plans to give these to the villagers, who are living in a particularly difficult situation and have little labor force.

Like the family in the northwest corner, there is only a grandma in her fifties and her little boy.

This boy's father never came back after serving in the military, and his mother died after the flood.

The family in front of his was the easternmost one in the row. The only labor force in the family was a young man. His husband's legs and feet were not very strong after returning from the battlefield. He also had a seven-year-old brother.

Their character was already known when we asked them to make toothbrushes.

When making toothbrushes now, each household has a given quantity. If we make more, they won’t be able to collect that much.

Now is the perfect time to give them another job.

Jiang Ci started recruiting people early in the morning and asked Lin Jingchen to write more than 20 confidentiality agreements.

"Hey, what is this contract I'm going to sign for?"

The person who asked this question was a middle-aged man, and around him were people that Ye Wan and Lin Shan had found to be workers in their soap factory.

Jiang Ci: "Everyone knows that we have invested all our money in this factory, and we still owe a lot of money. We need to be careful about what we make. We have this contract in case people spread rumors or we are bought off by others in the future."

"That's not necessary. We are all from the same village. Why would I betray you?"

Lin Jingsheng: "I just hope everyone doesn't have this intention. Signing it will give us peace of mind. There is nothing wrong with it for you."

Lin Chuan, who arrived late, agreed, "It's not bad for us, so just sign it. I'll take the lead and sign it."

He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote his name on the paper.

Someone took the lead and signed, and everyone else pushed and shoved to sign as well.

Jiang Ci: "Everyone has seen clearly what is written on this contract. If you betray us in the future and are discovered, you will have to pay compensation. So if someone wants to bribe you in the future, you must be more careful."

……

Jiang Ci took out the soap that had been placed in the cool area of ​​the utility room. It had been there for a month and it was time for it to be saponified.

Lin Jingsheng picked up a piece of soap on the tray and said, "This is the finished soap."

It feels hard and smooth to the touch.

Jiang Ci: "Yes, it's done. It's been stored for a month and can be used now."

I took a piece of Jiangci and played with it in my hand. It felt the same as the soap I bought modern times. Actually, there was a difference, but the difference was not that big.

Jiang Ci: "This is very effective in removing oil. For example, the oil on the cloth used to clean the stove cannot be washed off with wood ash or soapberry, but this soap can. Let's try it."

Jiang Ci took the soap and went to the kitchen, with Lin Jingsheng following closely behind him.

Lin Jingsheng took the rag on the stove and dipped it into the water. "This rag was just changed before the busy farming season. There are some oil stains on it that can't be washed off."
