Chapter 340 It’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish

"No need, we'll be home soon. How about you go to the farm today?" Qinghe asked Baili Ye.

Baili Ye smiled and replied to Qinghe:

"We actually encountered some problems today at the manor. The head of the manor was very cunning. On the surface, he was very respectful to us, but in private, he was trying to conceal the truth."

It turned out that this manor was confiscated from the home of a criminal.

This village head usually relies on his seniority to exploit the tenants.

Not only did he raise the rent privately, he also made up various pretexts to charge extra fees, making the tenants miserable.

"Soon after my father-in-law and I arrived at the village, we heard complaints from some tenants. We kept quiet and secretly began to investigate the matter. We found that the village head had indeed tampered with the accounts and embezzled the money.

Before going to the village, my father-in-law and I arranged for people to go to the village to find out the situation. When we arrived at the village, we ordered people to tie up the village head and several helpers.

My father-in-law and I checked the accounts of the farm on the spot, as well as the evidence of witnesses and material evidence that the head of the farm had abused the tenants and collected more rent, and we reported them to the authorities on the spot."

"That village head is so hateful! How did he deal with it later?"

"After the village head was arrested, my father-in-law gathered all the tenants together, and they jointly elected a new village head and registered all the tenants.

Afterwards, the father-in-law returned all the extra money that the village head had collected to the tenants and waived the tenants' rent for this year.

Afterwards, we reorganized the village, and now the tenants are very grateful to us, and the atmosphere in the village has also been completely changed."

After hearing this, Qing He couldn't help but praise, "Aye, you guys did a great job! These tenants already have a hard life, and the village head still oppresses them like this, it's really abominable."

Baili Ye held Qinghe's hand and said:

"Today I am only assisting my father-in-law. He is very familiar with the affairs of the farm and sympathizes with the lives of the tenants. He knows how to handle the affairs of the farm. He is a very wise man."

Qing He nodded, and then asked, "Are there any flowers planted on the farm? I want to make some soap recently, and I need some fresh flowers."

Baili Ye thought for a moment and replied:

"There is a small garden with some common flowers planted, but I don't know if they are to your liking. I asked someone to pick some and bring them back. Can you see if you can use them after we get back home?"

Qing He's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "That's great. I plan to open a detergent factory in Da Xia."

Baili Ye looked at Qinghe in surprise and asked, "Cleaning supplies factory? What is this?"

Qing He patiently explained:

“It’s a place that specializes in producing cleaning products such as soap, perfumed soap, shampoo, and shower gel.

Daxia currently does not have a large-scale industry of this kind. These supplies are necessary for daily use and are needed by every household.

If it can be done, it will not only make life more convenient for everyone, but also bring a lot of income and it will be a huge business.”

Baili Ye nodded slightly, with admiration in his eyes:

"When we were in Dasheng, I thought you would open a factory to make soap, but I didn't expect you to open it yet. Why do you want to open a factory now?"

Qing He smiled and said, "Before, I was a little lazy in Dasheng, so I just wanted to take it out from the space supermarket temporarily. Now if I want to sell it in Dasheng, I have to run back and forth to get it from the supermarket.

Besides, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. I gave the recipe to my parents so that they can master the method. Not only can they produce it themselves, but it can also solve the workmanship problems of many people. "

Baili Ye agreed and said, "Xiao He, you are right. Let's build a detergent factory after we return to Dasheng."

Qing He smiled confidently: "Okay, if we plan well, we will definitely succeed."

After returning home, Qinghe couldn't wait to check the flowers she brought back.

After returning home, Qinghe couldn't wait to check the flowers she brought back.

Begonia, ranunculus, geranium, bougainvillea, Euphorbia, hibiscus, petunia, marigold, azalea and chrysanthemum. I didn’t expect that so many flowers would bloom in the winter in the middle of summer.

What's even more surprising is that there are roses, orchids and osmanthus flowers. It's really nice to be in a place with a warm climate in Daxia.

"With these flowers, we can make more soap. Come, move all these flowers to the princess's yard."

During dinner, Qing He said to Shangguan Jing and Qin with excitement:

"Dad, you and Aye brought back flowers from the farm today. I want to teach you how to make soap and scented soap tomorrow. This way you can sell them in the store in the future."

Shangguan Jing put down his chopsticks and said with certainty: "This soap has an excellent cleaning effect, much better than the soapnuts we used before."

Qin said at the side: "Qinghe, didn't you take out the soap from the Qiankun bag during the Dasheng period? How did you think of making it yourself?"

Qing He looked at Qin and said seriously:

“Mom and Dad, before in Dasheng, I could take soap from the Qiankun bag, but now Daxia is too far away from Dasheng, and I’m afraid that if the supply is not timely, it will affect the sales volume.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. I will teach you how to do it. You will have the final say on how much to produce in the future, and it will also stimulate Daxia’s employment.”

Shangguan Jing nodded in agreement and said:

"More and more people know the secret of the Qiankun bag now. Qinghe, it's better not to use it in the future. Just like now, don't take things directly. Just teach us the technology."

"Brother Jing is right. I didn't think it through. Qinghe needs to be more careful in the future. Mother will study hard tomorrow."

"Then I will go and treat Lin Shoufu tomorrow. After I come back, we can make soap and perfumed soap together."

Qin smiled and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you at home. But is the production process difficult?"

Qing He comforted:

"Don't worry, Mom. I will teach you and Dad carefully step by step tomorrow. As long as the raw materials are prepared and you do what I say, it won't be difficult."

"What raw materials do we need to prepare?" Shangguan Jing asked.

Qinghe replied:

"You need to prepare pig fat, wood ash, water, and some spices. I have already ordered them to be prepared.

In addition, have someone pick the petals of the flowers that Dad and Aye brought back today, wash them, and dry them for later use."

"Okay, don't worry, Dad and Mom will be ready."

The next day, Qing He finished breakfast, packed up, and went out with Bai Li Ye. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a gorgeous carriage waiting there.

The coachman and the butler of the Prime Minister's family saw Qing He and Bai Li Ye coming out, and hurried forward to greet and say: "This old servant greets the princess and the prince Chen. My master arranged for this old servant to take the princess to his house."

"Thank you."

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Qinghe and Baili Ye got on the Prime Minister's carriage.

Qing He got on the carriage and soon arrived at the Prime Minister's residence. Before entering the door, he saw several people standing at the door of the Prime Minister's residence. When they saw his carriage arrive, they all walked forward and knelt down to salute.

"I am honored to meet the princess and Prince Chen. You are finally here. Father and our whole family have been waiting for you!

On behalf of the whole government, I kneel down to thank the princess for saving my life." Everyone in the Prime Minister's family thanked Qinghe with gratitude.

"Please stop being so polite. Treating illnesses and saving lives is a doctor's duty. There is no need to be so polite.

How was the Prime Minister's situation yesterday?" Qing He nodded slightly and asked as he followed the others into the mansion.

Lin Bo smiled and replied, "Father woke up last night and said he felt hungry and wanted to eat. We prepared light food according to your instructions.

Unexpectedly, my father ate a bowl of porridge and a lot of dishes.

After eating, he talked to us for a while. Princess, you are amazing. Father has been in good spirits since he woke up yesterday."

Qinghe came to the Prime Minister's room and saw him leaning against the head of the bed, looking much better than before.

"This old minister greets the princess. Thank you for treating this old minister."

"Prime Minister, how do you feel today?" Qinghe asked with a smile.

The Prime Minister quickly sat up straight and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I feel much better and feel a lot lighter."

Qinghe nodded and began to take the Prime Minister's pulse.

After a moment, she said:

"Your Excellency has recovered well. I will give you an IV for two more days. After that, you should take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions and strictly control your diet. I guarantee that you will be able to have children and grandchildren around you in the future and enjoy the happiness of family life."

The Prime Minister smiled from ear to ear and said to Qinghe:

"Thanks to your good words, this is all thanks to the princess, otherwise I would have ascended to heaven long ago."

As he spoke, Qinghe quickly prepared the equipment needed for the infusion, and skillfully inserted the needle and fixed it for the assistant, and adjusted the speed of the infusion.

"Mr. Prime Minister, please try not to move too much during the infusion to avoid displacement of the needle." Qinghe reminded softly.

The Prime Minister nodded and said, "Okay, Princess, don't worry, I will pay attention to it."

After Qing He finished speaking, he said to the servant next to him:

"There must be someone watching over the Prime Minister at all times these days. If the medicine is running out, call someone to take care of it immediately. Do not allow air to enter the blood vessels."

"Yes, yes, I've taken note of it." The servant listened carefully.

Qing He looked at the surroundings again and said to the Prime Minister:

"The room should be kept ventilated, but you should not catch a cold. As for diet, it should still be light and you should not be greedy."

The Prime Minister repeatedly said: "My Lord, you have considered it so carefully. I am very grateful to you."

Qing He smiled and said, "Master Prime Minister, you should take good care of yourself. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you will recover soon."

During the infusion process, Qinghe also checked on Shoufu's condition from time to time to make sure everything was normal.

After some time, one bottle of medicine was finished and Qinghe carefully replaced it with the next one.

"Sir, are you feeling okay?" Qinghe asked.

The Prime Minister replied, "My Lord, you have a great hand. I am not feeling unwell."

After giving the Prime Minister an infusion, Qing He removed the needle, packed up his things, and said to him:

"Master Prime Minister, you can get out of bed and walk around for a few days, but not for too long."

The Prime Minister said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess. I will definitely follow the doctor's advice."

Qinghe gave a few more instructions and then left the Prime Minister's room.

Lin Bo sent Qing He out and said:

"Princess, if it weren't for you this time, my father would have been... Your great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by our Lin family."

Qing He said, "Master Lin, you are too kind. It is my duty to cure diseases and save lives."

After saying goodbye to everyone in the Lin family, Qinghe and Baili Ye got on the carriage and returned to the palace.

After the two returned home, Qin and Shangguan Jing hurried to greet them.

Qin said, "Aye, Qinghe, you are back? How is the Prime Minister doing today?"

"Today is much better than yesterday and I can eat now. After one more day of treatment, I will be able to walk. From now on, I will just take the medicine and eat according to the doctor's instructions."

"My daughter is so amazing. She can even save a dying person. I am proud to have a daughter like you."

Qing He smiled and said, "Mom, you're too kind. This is what I should do."

Baili Ye also said: "Mother-in-law, Qinghe is indeed a skilled doctor, and this is also due to the great blessing of the Prime Minister."

Qin nodded and said, "Then let's not stand here. Let's go into the house. The food is ready."

Everyone walked into the house together and sat around the table. Qinghe said:

"Let's go eat quickly. Is everything ready?"

Qin smiled and said, "Qinghe, Aye, everything is ready. We are just waiting for you to come back."

Shangguan Jing also echoed: "Yes, it's all complete."

Qing He smiled and said, "Dad and Mom, you have worked hard. Let's have lunch first, and then we will start."

After lunch, everyone went to the yard and started making soap.

Qinghe first cuts the pork fat into small pieces, puts it into the pot, adds a little water and simmers it slowly.

"Dad, you have to control the heat well, don't make it too high." Qinghe said.

Shangguan Jingdong nodded and watched the heat carefully.

Then, Qinghe soaked the wood ash in clean water and said, "Mom, please help stir this."

Qinghe gave the task of stirring to Qin.

Qin did as she was told and asked as she stirred, "My girl, is this okay?"

Qing He looked at it and said, "Sure, Mom."

After stirring evenly, Qinghe and Qinshi filter together to remove impurities and ash to obtain lye;

After the fat from the pig fat was boiled out, Qinghe slowly poured the clarified wood ash solution into the pot and said, "Now we need to stir slowly to allow them to fully blend until the saponification is complete and the mixture is cooked until it is very thick."

Everyone works together, stirs evenly, and then injects the cooked soap liquid into the mold prepared in advance.

"Okay, wait for the soap liquid to cool down, take it out, and leave it for a while to solidify naturally. Then the soap is ready."

"I didn't expect soap making to be so simple. It really opens my eyes." Qin said excitedly.

Everyone was looking forward to the finished soap product.

"The production method of scented soap is similar to that of soap, but there are some differences in saponification and adding fragrances." Qinghe explained to everyone.

Then, everyone divided the work and Qinghe poured the freshly boiled pork fat into the pot.

Qin crushed the fresh petals to extract the juice, and ground the carefully selected spices into powder.

Qing He watched as the oil was almost melted and said, "Mother, hand me the flower juice and spice powder you prepared."

Qin hurriedly handed them over, and Qinghe added them to the oil little by little, stirring gently.
