I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

Early in the morning, Xu Si went to Butcher Li to get the lard, intending to make her own soap. She couldn't stand bath beans, which were too rough.

The reason she did it was that she used to be a time-travel fan and watched a lot of videos just in case. Later, when she grew up and was beaten by work, she lost that naive idea. Unexpectedly, she actually traveled through time.

I didn't know whether I should be happy or not.

Qinghuan and Qining seemed to have become her little followers. After feeding the chicks, they would stick together with her when they had nothing to do.

At this moment, they were watching beside her, and both the big and small had obedient looks on their faces.

Cut the pork fat into small pieces, put it into the pot and simmer it slowly over low heat. The lard was gradually boiled out, and Xu Si scooped out the lard residue.

Shanmen took out a small bowl, sprinkled some salt on it, and smelled it carefully. The aroma was fragrant.

"Here, let mother and sister-in-law try it first, and then you two can share it." Xu Si handed the bowl to Qinghuan.

"Second aunt, eat first," Qi Ning pinched out a piece and held it high. Xu Si did not despise it and bent down to eat it directly from his hand.

The aunt and nephew went to feed others happily. When they came out and were about to return to the kitchen, they were stopped by Shen Yanchen.

"What are you two eating?"

"Second brother, why are you at home? Did you just come back?" Qinghuan was a little surprised.

"I've been here the whole time and never gone out. You just didn't notice." Shen Yanchen felt a little aggrieved. He thought that other people would ask him about it when they saw him at home.

"Uncle, do you want to eat some lard residue?" Qi Ning saw the grievance on his face and patted him like a little adult.

"Of course," he had been waiting the whole time, and hadn't gone out just to have one more bite. It was not easy for him.

I reached out and took one to taste. It was crispy in the mouth. I grabbed a handful without hesitation and immediately half of the bowl was gone.

Qi Ning pursed his lips, then thought that this was his second uncle, so he ate it, but he still felt a little sad.

"Okay, you guys go." Shen Yanchen got what he wanted contentedly and went back to his room.

Xu Si scooped the lard into a jar and was about to prepare other ingredients when he noticed the little guy's depression and asked with concern, "Why is our Qi Ning unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy," Qi Ning lowered his head and nibbled on the lard residue. From Xu Si's perspective, he could only see the small bun on his head.

She looked at Shen Qinghuan questioningly, "What happened?"

"I was still happy after I came out from my mother and eldest sister-in-law, but I seemed unhappy after I met my second brother."

And what about Shen Yanchen? And he didn't go out today. Has he changed?

Then why could he make the little guy unhappy? He is not the kind of person who bullies children.

Xu Si looked at the bowl that was almost finished and suddenly understood.

She asked why there was so much less food in the bowl when she came back. Neither her mother nor her sister-in-law were greedy, so it was obvious who it was.

Then I found it a little funny. They are still children after all. It is one thing for them to be willing to share, but it is naturally sad to watch others eat more.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad. Second Aunt is going to make something very interesting soon. Do you want to help?"

This sentence really attracted Qi Ning's attention, "I want to help."

Qinghuan also nodded. She liked working with her second sister-in-law.

He boiled water in a porcelain pot that was broken into pieces, added the ashes from the wood burning on the stove, and told Qinghuan to watch over it and stop cooking when the food was done.

"Qining, go ask grandma for a piece of unused cloth."

"okay."

Qi Ning ran into the house and came out after a while, followed by Lou Yuexin.

"A Si, what kind of cloth do you want?" Lou Yuexin was afraid that Qi Ning didn't explain clearly, so she came out to ask.

"Mom, any cloth will do. It would be even better if we have that kind of gauze."

"Okay," Lou Yuexin thought, and went back to the house to take out a piece of cloth, which was the one Xu Si had used for embroidery before. She had already removed the threads on it, and it could be used to sew clothes later.

"A Si, what are you going to do?" Lou Yuexin looked at the black liquid in front of her, a little curious.

"I'm going to make soap." Xu Si took the cloth and recognized it at a glance. There was a simple pattern drawn on it before, and there were messy pinholes on it.

"Soap?" Lou Yuexin was a little excited. Nowadays, only rich and powerful people could afford it. She didn't expect that Ah Si could actually make it by himself.

"What, you want to make soap?" Su Jinyue saw that her mother-in-law had been out for such a long time, so she came out to take a look. Then she heard what Xu Si said. Even though she had a calm personality, she couldn't help but become calm.

After all, bath beans are really not easy to use, but if you don’t use them, you will always feel unclean.

"Yes, but it's definitely not as exquisite as those sold outside." Xu Si felt a little embarrassed and quickly gave them a heads-up to prevent them from having too high expectations and being disappointed in the end.

"I understand. It's good enough that it can be used." Lou Yuexin felt a little emotional. After so many days, her mentality had been worn down, but she didn't expect that she would still have the chance to use soap.

Both of them were shocked by the good news. They couldn't concentrate on their work and just watched Xu Si's steps with great interest.

"It's a pity that there are no shells, otherwise it would have a stronger ability to remove dirt and would be more delicate," Xu Si said with some regret. In addition, it is also rich in minerals and trace elements, and has certain effects on health care and nourishing the skin. However, I won't tell them about this to avoid difficulty in explaining.

"I have some," Shen Qinghuan said suddenly, "Dad brought some back for me from the dock before, I'll go get it."

After saying that, he hurried back to the house and handed Xu Si a bracelet.

The shells of suitable sizes have been strung together and are brightly colored, showing that they have been carefully selected.

Xu Si hesitated a little, "Why not just forget it? It would be a shame to burn such a beautiful bracelet."

"It's okay. I can't wear it out anyway, so it's good to be able to put it to good use." There was reluctance in Qinghuan's eyes, but more of it was relief.

"Then wait until your father comes back, and I'll ask him to find some better-looking ones." Lou Yuexin comforted.

Now that the decision has been made, Xu Si no longer hesitates.

Throw the shells directly into the fire and they will soon turn black.

She crushed it into powder in just a few strokes, added it to the wood ash water she had just boiled, stirred it evenly, and then filtered it with cloth.

Add the filtered liquid to the lard and some salt, mix them thoroughly to produce a saponification reaction until it becomes a sticky paste.

"Is that all right?"

“You also have to pour it into a mold, unmold it after a day, and let it dry for another month.”

"Ah, so complicated," Su Jinyue felt a little disappointed. She couldn't wait to use it.

"But this is amazing. It's obviously a greasy thing, but the things it makes can actually remove the grease."

This was the first time Lou Yuexin knew that this is how soap was made.
