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

In the afternoon, Jiang Ci went to take a look around the soap factory.

The house was filled with firewood, enough to last for a while, and wood ash, fat pork, shell powder and coarse salt were all ready.

Oh, yes, and those rows of molds.

Last time, I had someone build rows of wooden racks for the place where the soap is dried, and they were also cut into layers using wood.

This way you won’t end up with too much to put away.

But even so, the place for drying soap is not as big as the other rooms combined.

In front of the factory, there was an open space in the middle for loading ox carts and donkey carts.

Two houses were built on the east side of it, one large and one small.

Jiang Ci originally thought that the small room would be used for the people who could guard here, and the large room would be used to store the prepared toothbrush handles and toothbrushes.

But now there are four of them, and it would be too crowded if they all stayed in one small room.

So this time we let them sleep in that big room.

That small room is used to store toothbrushes. If there is not enough space, just build a shed outside.

Anyway, we can't let people sleep in the shed.

……

As soon as Jiang Ci entered the house, Lin Jingsheng greeted her warmly, "Come here quickly, A Ci."

Jiang Ci saw Lin Jingsheng sitting at the table in the yard, looking at a basket on the table. What was in it?

"coming."

Before she saw what was in the basket, Jiang Ci heard a few meows from the kitten.

Jiang Ci took a few steps forward and confirmed that the sound he had just heard was from a tabby kitten.

Jiang Ci sat next to Lin Jingsheng, watching the tabby cat spinning in the basket.

He reached out and touched the tabby cat's fur, which looked very soft.

"Where did the kitten come from?"

"When I went to town to look for Zheng Yuan, his cat gave birth and asked me if I wanted one. I saw that the kitten was cute and since we don't have a cat or a dog at home, I brought one back. I thought you would like it, too."

"I really like it. This kitten is so cute."

Jiang Ci just touched the kitten's fur and the soft touch made her hands itchy and she wanted to touch it again.

This little kitten has a bad temper. It hid nearby and didn't want Jiang Ci to touch it.

Jiang Ci poked the little tabby cat's head with her finger, "You have quite a temper!"

Lin Jingsheng's eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Jiang Ci playing with the kitten.

Jiang Ci really liked the kitten. When he saw the kitten, he thought that Jiang Ci brought it back because she liked it.

"This cat is still young, you can raise it and it will become familiar with you."

"Yeah, if the cat gets older, I won't be able to keep it and it'll run away."

This little tabby cat is not afraid of strangers when he comes to a strange environment.

After Jiang Ci pressed its finger against its head, it meowed, as if trying to scare the other person away with its cute little baby voice.

Jiang Ci withdrew his hand, and the dog climbed onto the inner wall of the basket and tried to climb out.

Lin Jingsheng then pulled the kitten out.

The technique was not very gentle, and made the little tabby cat squeak.

Jiang Ci held her chin and watched, liking it very much.

"Look, the hair on its tail has exploded."

"You were pretty brave when I told you not to touch me just now."

Jiang Ci looked around, picked up a piece of grass from the ground, and waved it in front of the little tabby cat to tease it.

"This is our new family member. What should we name it?"

This kitten has cut all the grass, and Jiang Ci hasn't thought of a name for it yet.

Said to Lin Jingsheng, "Think about it."

"This is a tabby cat, Xiaoli? Xiaohua?"

"Haha." Jiang Ci was amused by what Lin Jingsheng said.

"What's wrong? Is it not good? I really can't think of any nice names. Why don't you ask Ah Ci to think about it again?"

I was laughed at by my husband and felt a little depressed.

When asked to give him a name, he really couldn't think of one. These two names are appropriate, at least they are not "Mimi".

"Then call me Xiaoli."

Jiang Ci tapped the little tabby cat's nose with her finger, "Your name is, Xiaoli."

Jiang Ci had never kept a cat before, but he had petted the obedient cat from his neighbor's house many times.

But I don’t know how to feed the kitten. “What should I feed such a kitten?”

"It's time for this kitten to leave the nest. Give it some porridge and steamed buns. It's fine as long as it can eat it."

Jiang Ci blinked when she heard this feeding method, "Is that so?"

"That's all. Zheng Yuan's mother reminded me before he left."

Jiang Ci didn't touch the furry kitten much. He always felt that such a small kitten or puppy would be touched to death if he touched it too often.

Lin Jingsheng saw the kitten leaning over the edge of the table and looking down, so he lifted the kitten up and threw it to the ground.

"Close the door for the next few days, don't let it escape, and let it get familiar with the house for a few days."

There were playful sounds coming from the door. It was Lin Jingchen and Lin Jingxuan who came back.

Lin Jingxuan saw the two people sitting under the tree and ran over quickly, "Brother Ci, let me tell you..."

Before I could finish the rest of the sentence, I saw a kitten on the ground and screamed in surprise, "Wow! It's a kitten. Such a small kitten. So cute!"

The little raccoon, who was originally adapting to the new environment and walking tentatively on the ground, was frightened by the scream. He let out a "meow~" and ran in the opposite direction of Lin Jingxuan, his short legs moving very fast.

Lin Jingxuan looked at the kitten running away and touched her hair awkwardly, "Ah, alas, I didn't mean it."

Lin Jingchen touched Lin Jingxuan's head and comforted her, "Kittens are afraid of people. They won't run away in a few days."

Lin Jingxuan's mood visibly improved. "Where did you get the kitten? Will it be ours from now on?"

Jiang Ci: "Your eldest brother brought it back from the town. It will be ours from now on. I just gave it a name, Xiaoli."

There were so many people around, but Xiaoli was still afraid of people and hid behind the legs of the table.

The body was hidden behind the table legs, but its fluffy and soft hair could not be blocked by the table legs.

Lin Jingxuan squatted down to look at the kitten, but felt that she couldn't see clearly from this position, so she moved to the side. It was obvious that she really wanted to get closer to or touch the kitten.

"Where does Xiaoli sleep at night?"

Lin Jingxuan looked at Jiang Ci and then at Lin Jingsheng.

Lin Jingsheng: "The house is so big, there is always a place for it to sleep. It is cooler for it to sleep in the yard."

……

Everything was ready at the soap factory, and the whole family got up early the next day.

The two of them didn't do anything last night, so Jiang Ci got up early in the morning.

At noon, all the people responsible for making wood ash and lard gathered at the factory gate.

Jiang Ci: "I think you all know how to make lard. Now, everyone should get to work. Making wood ash water is also very simple. You will definitely know how to do it after you do it with me once."

Jiang Ci and they boiled a pot of wood ash water, filtered it with gauze, added a little shell powder and stirred it, then filtered it again, and then let it sit and settle.
