I open a small shop to support my family

The sound of birds chirping outside the window resounded from the branches, and the sound of Daqing and Dahei playing outside the door could be heard clearly.

The two got very close, Meng Yunshu blinked, squeezed Yu Jinhuai's hand, shook it lightly, and signaled Yu Jinhuai to answer his question quickly.

Yu Jinhuai held his hand instead and put it on his chest, and pressed it tightly against his body. Meng Yunshu could clearly feel the heartbeat under his palm.

"Ayun, do you think I'm useless?" Yu Jinhuai hesitated for a while, fixedly looking into Meng Yunshu's eyes, and asked cautiously.

Hearing his words, Meng Yunshu immediately retorted: "How could that be? Why would Brother Huai think so? You are so good. You know how to carpentry, hunt, and are also very careful. You cook good food and you can also weave bamboo."

Every word he said was resounding, and his tone was firm. Yu Jinhuai's heart suddenly softened, and it sank slightly. His whole body seemed to be soaked in a honey jar. Yu Jinhuai couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed his forehead. Can't stop rising.

He is not as good as Ah Yun said.

At this time, he suddenly remembered a sentence his brother once said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and now he is probably like this in A Yun's eyes.

Seeing that the expression on his face was no longer so tense, and there was a faint smile in his deep eyes, Meng Yunshu knew that he was in a much better mood, whether Yu Jinhuai heard something from somewhere or something else, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly so ask.

Wanting to ask why, Meng Yunshu swallowed his words when he touched the smile on his brow.

"What is Ah Yun worrying about today?" Yu Jinhuai asked after thinking about Meng Yunshu's worried face this afternoon.

Facing Yu Jinhuai, Meng Yunshu of course told him everything.

As soon as he mentioned it, he frowned in distress, and said sullenly: "The most important thing to make soap is oil, but whether it's soybean oil or lard, the cost is too high for us."

Meng Yunshu leaned on his shoulder, wrapped his arms around his waist, and said: "I grow coconuts on my farm, and I can make coconut oil, and rapeseed oil, but I can't find a reason to use them. "

Yu Jinhuai frowned when he heard the words. According to A Yun, oil is the most important thing to make soap. Lard and soybean oil are very valuable to farmers. If he guessed right, A Yun should want to make soap. Make a soap that farmers can afford, so that the cost can't be too high, otherwise they won't make much money.

"Is there a recipe that doesn't use oil?" Yu Jinhuai thought for a while, but he couldn't think of a way, so he asked one more question.

They can't get oil for the time being, so what if they don't use oil?

"No oil?" Meng Yunshu raised his head and looked at him, blinking his eyes, how could he not use oil?Isn't the basis for making soap the saponification reaction?Naturally, it cannot be made without oil soap.

Meng Yunshu shook his head, expressing that he couldn't think of it. Seeing this, Yu Jinhuai had no choice but to help him think about it.

Peanuts can also be squeezed into oil, but peanuts... Meng Yunshu sighed, isn't there any oil that isn't squeezed from crops?

-

After dinner, Yu Jinhuai saw that Meng Yunshu was still worrying about something, so he made up his mind and went to his brother's room.

Opening another box, it was full of books. He vaguely remembered that Yu Jinjiang once told him that there was a kind of tree on Daqing Mountain. After twisting it lightly, there is a layer of oil on my hand, but I don't know if it can be squeezed to eat.

It's a pity that he didn't have time to listen to Yu Jinjiang's speech and went to the battlefield. When he came back, only his little nephew Yu Zhining was left at home.

Yu Jinjiang likes to read miscellaneous books, so he secretly copied many miscellaneous books, and read them when he was free. The tree he mentioned was seen in a miscellaneous book.

Unfortunately, he didn't know which book it was.

Looking at the box full of books, Yu Jinhuai, who has never liked reading very much, felt a headache for a while.

With so many books, when will he find the one he wants.

Thinking of Meng Yunshu's anxious mood, Yu Jinhuai sighed, first took three books, and after closing the box, he was hugged by Meng Yunshu rushing over as soon as he came out.

Puzzled, he lowered his head and bumped into a pair of bright almond eyes. Meng Yunshu hugged him excitedly, with a happy smile on his face, and the joy in his eyes was about to overflow. It seemed that this could not express his happiness. She hugged Yu Jinhuai's waist, then stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin.

Said in a cheerful tone: "Brother Huai, I finally remembered the toiletries that can be made without oil."

Yu Jinhuai paused holding the book, and raised the corner of his mouth stiffly, "Really? That's great."

Meng Yunshu, who was in joy, didn't notice anything wrong with Yu Jinhuai, and talked about what he thought of with great interest.

The more he talked, the more energetic he became, and he wished he could go to Daqing Mountain to find the materials he needed, but it was Yu Jinhuai who held him back and said that it was getting late and it was already dark, so he could be quiet.

Lying on the bed, Yu Jinhuai held Meng Yunshu's hand and held him in his arms.

Ask: "Ayun, do you still need oil?"

"Of course, what I said before is just for making shampoo. Oil is still needed to make soap. How can there be enough shampoo for just one kind of shampoo?"

"That's right." Hearing this, Yu Jinhuai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Huai, how about going to the mountain with me to find cypress trees tomorrow?" Meng Yunshu was afraid that he would disagree, so he hurriedly raised his head to smear his lips, but kissed his face, and he was stunned for a moment , and then both of them laughed lightly, their voices lowered, as if they were thieves.

Yu Jinhuai stroked his hair and said yes.

The next morning, after eating breakfast early and preparing dry food and water for going up the mountain, Meng Yunshu brought some snacks for Yu Zhining and sent him to Aunt Sun's house.

Yu Zhining stood at the door of Aunt Sun's house, looking at his little uncle and his uncle reluctantly, watching him go further and further away, Yu Zhining sighed like a little adult, his eyes were full of wanting to go too.

Sun Ming, who was staying in his yard, hadn't seen Yu Zhining coming over for a long time, and ran up to him with a small wooden stick in his hand. Coming late, Yu Jinhuai and Meng Yunshu were nowhere to be seen.

"A-Ning, what are you looking at?" Sun Ming asked curiously, put his hand on Yu Zhining's shoulder, tiptoed slightly, and looked around boredly.

Yu Zhining leaned against him, imitating his little uncle, and said deeply, "I didn't see anything."

He wouldn't even say that he actually wanted to go to Daqing Mountain with his little uncle and little uncle, otherwise he would lose his prestige as a young master in front of his little friends.

"Oh." Sun Ming replied calmly, not sure if he believed it or not.

-

On the other side, Yu Jinhuai and Meng Yunshu had just walked up the mountain, this time they brought Daqing and Dahei with them.

I haven’t taken them outside for a long time and have been stuck at home, so this time I brought them up together. The mountain is big and the place is familiar to them. Once they run on the mountain, they can find food for themselves, and secondly, they can be unscrupulous. run.

"There is no shortage of cypresses and saponins on Daqing Mountain." Yu Jinhuai held Meng Yunshu's hand, and kept paying attention to the surrounding environment while talking to him.

Regarding what he said, Meng Yunshu nodded affirmatively. Even though he didn't come here many times, he knew that Daqingshan didn't lack these things.

It's spring, and the animals that have hibernated in the mountains for a season are slowly starting to move. Spring is a season of restlessness, and most animals are gradually beginning to court. As a hunter, Yu Jinhuai knows this, even if they don't go to the mountains today , Even in the places where the villagers often go, he refused to relax.

Meng Yunshu didn't know this, and concentrated on walking her own way, answering Yu Jinhuai's words from time to time.

After walking on the mountain road for almost half an hour, Yu Jinhuai stopped and said to Meng Yunshu beside him.

"arrive."

At this time they were almost halfway up the mountain, Meng Yunshu turned back to the direction they came from, looking at the village not far away.

You can vaguely see the green smoke slowly rising from the houses and chimneys of the villagers.

Seeing that Meng Yunshu was enjoying himself, Yu Jinhuai didn't urge him too much, and waited for him to enjoy watching before leading him into the cypress forest.

Some trees in Cangnan Village have already germinated and sprouted small yellow leaves, but the spring on the mountain has not come for a long time. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows, and Meng Yunshu can't help wrapping his clothes tightly. Fortunately, he heard Yu Jinhuai's words when he left home He wore an extra piece of clothing, otherwise he would not have been able to stand it long ago if he was afraid of the cold.

From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of him shivering, Yu Jinhuai let him walk inside without saying a word, helped him block the wind outside, and held his hand tightly with his big palm, warming his cold hand.

Meng Yunshu pinched his palm with her little finger, and showed a sweet smile the moment he looked over.

The cypress forest is not far away, and they arrived within the time spent walking for a cup of tea.

The cypress grows straight, and unlike the leaves of the trees next to it, its leaves are still green.

"Ayun, how much do you want?" Yu Jinhuai found a luxuriant branch with clean leaves, stood under it and asked Meng Yunshu who was a few steps away from him.

Hearing this, Meng Yunshu hurried over, thought about the saponins at home, and said, "Just half the basket is enough."

After knowing how much he wanted, Yu Jinhuai started to work, and it was done in a short while.

Thinking that there is still a shortage of He Shou Wu, Meng Yunshu asked the man beside him: "Brother Huai, is there any He Shou Wu in Daqingshan?"

"Yes, but not many." Not to mention that the season for digging Polygonum multiflorum has passed, the people in Cangnan Village basically have nothing to do except take care of the work in the field. Get poached by someone you know.

After listening to Yu Jinhuai's explanation, Meng Yunshu finally understood and thought about it, but Yu Jinhuai took him and walked inside, and the two wolf dogs followed.

In order to find Polygonum multiflorum, the two of them drilled in Daqingshan for almost a whole day. Fortunately, they brought dry food when they came, and there was also Meng Yunshu's canteen.

When they went down the mountain, apart from the cypress leaves in their back baskets, there were three palm-sized Polygonum multiflorum, and some saponins that fell on the ground.

In order to be able to use saponins in the future, Meng Yunshu dug several from the mountain and planted them on the farm.

The materials are ready, and then the shampoo can be made.
