My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Chapter 175 Looks a lot like my boyfriend (two chapters in one)

The female guard Sui He also opened her eyes.

Suihe secretly observed Lu Yan's expression and thought:

Their general is 31 years old and has been practicing martial arts since he was seven years old.

If she had not practiced martial arts and joined the army, but had chosen to get married and have children like most women, the general's daughter must have been as old as Xu Tianxin.

Has the General ever had any regrets?

Now the general is looking at Xu Tianxin with a softened look. Is he imagining what it would be like to have a daughter?

Yes, she guessed, it must be the same as Xu Tianxin.

How great.

She is straightforward yet well-behaved, and her every move and smile reveals the agility of a little girl. She will also considerately cover her sleeping mother with a quilt and wipe her hands.

While the mother was sleeping, the daughter, with red lips and white teeth, sat quietly in the house filled with the fragrance of flowers, busy with the chores that belonged to her daughter's family.

Not to mention, at this moment, even Sui He was a little nostalgic for this room.

The window sill was covered with dried petals of various colors, including osmanthus, gardenia, jasmine, honeysuckle, and some types of petals that she could not recognize.

Jars of different sizes were placed on a long table, with labels for toilet water and flower oil on the jars.

There are also two large urns, one of which seems to have many flowers soaked in oil.The other large vat seemed to be soaked in wine, but there was no smell of wine.

The fragrance in this small room is fragrant. Needless to say, it all comes from the hands of the girl in front of you who is concentrating on scooping up the oil.

However, Suihe said that compared to the scent of flowers, she preferred the orange-scented hand soap that Miss Xu poured for the three of them after going to the latrine.After pouring only a little bit from the bamboo tube, it was very sticky. She immediately washed her face with the remaining foam.

She felt that the smell was so good that it actually aroused her thoughts that even as a woman, she didn't like these things.

I don't know how to do it.

I heard that the raw material is the leftover orange peel, shredded and dried in the sun for brewing.

Also, without special skills, General Jia would not be able to place an order in this small mountain village, let alone call a teenage girl.

At that time, the word "little friend" came out, causing the general to glance sideways at General Jia, as if to scold him: "Are you exaggerating your age?"
Suihe quietly closed his eyes.

In short, she guessed that their general did not continue to catch up on his sleep. He was relaxing in a rare moment and was thinking about his daughter's appearance.

Lu Yan, who was thought of by the bodyguard, his real thoughts are:
no.

There is no way to substitute.

It's not that they don't look alike, but her daughter won't wear such shabby clothes because she has money.

But it was precisely because Xu Tianxin was dressed in rags that Lu Yan found it rare.

The girl who entertained them in front of them had a rare nature, which was rare in this village.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

The old lady knocked on the door first and handed three pairs of mended shoes to her great-granddaughter. She lowered her eyebrows and did not dare to look around. She said in a breathy voice: "There is a man named Hongzao outside who is looking for you."

Xu Tianxin looked at the sky outside and knew that based on time, her first batch of soap bars was about to take shape, and the girls working there were undecided whether to cut them tonight.

Xu Tianxin looked back at the three people on the kang, and Lu Yan quickly closed his eyes.

After closing the door, Lu Yan wondered in his heart, why was he afraid that the little girl would know that he was awake? She was a great general, so was she afraid of applying hand oil to a girl?Just put some hand oil on it.

Sui He and Sui Feng, who had been pretending to be asleep, also turned over, facing away from the door.

These three martial arts practitioners will notice the slightest movement.

Let's put it this way, when Bai Muyan looked in from the window, Lu Yan could see clearly even without opening his eyes.If he didn't have this vigilance ability, he would have died a thousand and eight hundred times.

Xu Tianxin didn't know that these three people had woken up a long time ago. She was relieved to see that everyone was still sleeping soundly. After extinguishing the flames of the still, she went out to work with peace of mind.

After Xu Tianxin left, Lu Yan sat up, opened the window, and looked outside.

Suifeng also sat up, sniffed his nose and said, "General, they seem to be stewing fish."

Sui He glared at Sui Feng with disgust, you just know how to eat, are you greedy?

Sui He asked: "General, do you want to go out and take a look?"

So Mrs. Xu didn't know that everything the villagers did today was seen by the female general.

Lu Yan saw the strong laborers of this village washing the war horses.

The man in charge of grooming the horses looked happy and didn't seem to find it hard.

The half-grown boy could only look on with greedy eyes, his eyes showing the desire to go forward and touch the horse, but before he could go forward, he was scolded: "You can't touch anything."

There are also some old men gathered around another stable to encourage them: "The big things in life are eating and drinking. Eat, shit, eat more and shit."

Lu Yan, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Suihe.

Sui He understood immediately and found an accompanying soldier who whispered a few words.

After a while, surprise cheers came from the stable.

Because those half-grown men were allowed to touch the war horses.

Lu Yan left with cheers and went to the cooking place in the distance.

She saw that since cooking was done over an open fire, many women would rub their cold fingers before chopping vegetables.

Warm water was used to clean the horses, and pots of hot water were carried to the stables at all costs. The women used cold water directly at the well to remove fish scales.

In this house, aren’t there enough pots in the house?
Lu Yan heard a woman waving her hands and shouting: "Aunt Xu asked me to add some perilla leaves to the stewed fish. Hurry up and distribute it. It will remove the fishy smell very well. We must make the general and his party eat deliciously, sisters-in-law and brothers." , use your special skills to prepare a few dishes, let people know that we, Erdaohe, are also skilled."

The firelight illuminated the faces of the women, who picked up their shovels with great enthusiasm.

Lu Yan saw another winding team coming from a distance.

The first ones to arrive were a few bullock carts, which pulled wooden barrels filled with rice.

Behind the oxcart came villagers carrying quilts on their shoulders.

More villagers were carrying burdens, and the baskets were filled with cabbage, radish, potatoes, sweet potatoes and some dried vegetables.

There are also some men and peasant women carrying jars on their heads.

Suihe came back and told the news:
"General, the jar is full of pickles.

I heard that the fish stew our group will eat tonight will have different vegetables because the villagers gathered it together on their own initiative.

The villagers do it for no other reason than to entertain you and give outsiders the impression that they have a backer. If they are bullied, you will stand behind them.

Isn't this a mutual trade? The location of Erdaohe Village, where the wasteland on the roadside has become valuable, is always being stared at.

The villagers were very uneasy, worried that in the end, if they were busy, powerful people would take over the place and it would all come to nothing. "

After Suihe finished speaking, he was a little angry. He was afraid that the land in his village would be occupied by others. This shows how chaotic the management of this town was before and how many land snakes there were.

When they came, they saw the fight scene, and they knew without asking that the other group was the so-called powerful people who often oppressed the people.

It seemed that before Miss Xu had time to tell the villagers, their general had already sent people to the town.

The results should be available tomorrow.

And the reason why it is tomorrow is because their general specially asked them to investigate first.

A good official is not afraid of investigation.

What's not good, Suihe thought to himself: It's almost time now and he is already in prison.

After the investigation, it will be posted, along with those minions.

That was the time specially set aside by their general to let the people in the town rush to tell each other that something happened in the town pavilion.

In this way, people who have been oppressed dare to appeal one after another.

After Lu Yan heard this, he nodded slightly and turned to leave.

When Lu Yan passed by the house where soap locusts were made, he stopped when he heard the chirping sounds inside.Look, what is that little girl doing?

Xu Tianxin is cutting soap.

This is the first batch of 2000 yuan saponins.

To make soap in large quantities, you cannot put it into small boxes or bamboo tubes and mold it like before.

Instead, Xu Tianxin learned from the ancient Syrian method of soap making. After being instructed by family members in the live broadcast room, he directly spread the soap liquid on the ground to dry in the shade.

Xu Tianxin was worried that the stone floor of Wang Yusheng's house was not smooth enough and would easily produce uneven soap locusts. She even laid the floor for the entire room before pouring the soap solution. This is why Xu Laoer kept doing carpentry work but kept looking at her. The reason why Black can never finish it.

Then pour the soap.After pouring, ask the girls to scrape the soap into the same thickness as if they were applying putty, so that it can be left to dry slowly in the shade.

Today was the day when the softness and hardness were suitable for cutting, and Xu Tianxin did not dare to delay.

At this time, Xu Tianxin looks like he is wearing a pair of skates, but the skates are connected together and are homemade cutting tools, so that he can cut soap locust cubes of the same size.

Speaking of the two knives under her feet, she would also like to thank the robbers who robbed her three uncles. They were very easy to use after being sharpened.

But Xu Tianxin couldn't complete the cutting alone. She had two arms, including pushing her to move the blade, and several girls were required to wear oil-paper shoe covers on their feet to complete the process.

So the room was a little noisy.

However, despite the lack of order at this time, it does not affect the spectacular scene.

The door was open, and the old lady stood at the door. She was so shocked that she didn't realize that the general was standing behind her and looking into the room.

Old lady: Oh my God, will something more evil happen?

The square and square grandma's white and fragrant soap appeared under her great-granddaughter's feet.

When was it made?A door opens into a room.

However, Xu Tianxin saw Lu Yan and Sui He Suifeng. She couldn't get off before they were finished, so she could only step on the knife, put one hand around the neck of Mai Miao, the little sister in the village, and smiled and waved to several people as a greeting.

Lu Yan looked at the cheerful little girl: "..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like this little girl is making money just for fun. It seems that Jia Lai didn't order enough.

But then she rejected her idea.

After all the cuttings were completed, Xu Tianxin took off his "skate shoes", put on the oil paper foot gloves, and started beating the pieces of soapberry with a small hammer.

Lace icons immediately appeared on the square milky white soap.

After Xu Tianxin distributed the small hammers to the girls working in the house, he was asked during the meal before explaining the whole process to the general.

It is said that the icons are not finished until the icons are printed. They need to be set up like a hill and continue to be placed in a ventilated and shaded place to dry. This is called saponification reaction. Finally, each piece of soap is wrapped with special paper before being shipped away.

There are also small paintings on the paper, which are actually quite beautiful.

Lu Yan saw the sample first before Jia Lai.

And this turns out to be the easiest stage of making soap.

Sui Feng and Sui He were surprised to hear every step before that.

I heard that a lot of oil needs to be boiled. The types of oil include lard, rapeseed oil, castor oil, camellia oil, and palm oil, which is used to make raincoats and oil-paper umbrellas.

The castor oil used in this batch of soap was all picked by girls in the village.

After the castor beans are harvested and shelled, they must be crushed in a red-hot pot to produce oil.

Sui He did not expect that even Sui Feng, a man of few words, would rarely talk to Tian Xin, saying: "I didn't know castor could be used to make soap. In the army, I only knew that pig kidneys were wrapped in castor leaves, rubbed with salt, tied with a rope, and stuffed. Simmer it in charcoal ashes and eat it to protect your health."

The three female generals knew very well that what was important was to protect the men's parts, their kidneys, and they often saw those men eating at their homes.Even if it doesn't taste good, I force it into my mouth.

Then the oil is mixed and made, and the lye solution needs to be made in large quantities.

I heard that Miss Xu collects the ashes left over from burning firewood every day in the whole village.

Miss Xu not only wants excrement, but also ashes.

In addition, whether it is lye or frozen milk, buckets are added to it, and pots of dried flower petals are ground into powder to make oil to make floral dew. With each addition, the girls in the village It takes more than three hours (six hours) of continuous stirring to form the soap liquid poured on the ground, and then the scene they just saw will appear.

One batch costs 2000 yuan, and it takes four batches in a row.

General Jia hadn't negotiated the price with Miss Xu yet, but Miss Xu was doing it carefully.

Look at this, after it's made, a car will be hired to deliver it, so General Jia doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Sui He and Sui Feng felt uncomfortable hearing this. They were waiting for the general to say a few words. At least if their general said that they didn't need to deliver the goods and would send someone to pick them up, then Miss Xu would be a lot less worried.

Before he thought, the general spoke, but what he said was: "Where did you buy this wine?"

Xu Tianxin clutched his chopsticks: "...Made at home."

She increased the concentration of the distillation to soak the flower petals.

Xu Tianxin didn't expect that Nai Nai would bring him two bowls of white wine left.

Grandma said: There is no general who doesn’t drink when leading an army. Before going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, there were TV shows where he had to drink and even smashed the wine bowl.This means drinking the strongest wine, riding the fastest horse, and beheading the person with the highest reward.

Lu Yan took a sip of wine and said, "Planning to open a shop to sell wine? Not bad, I'll make more when I have time."

Later, she ordered a few carts and rewarded them to her generals.

Xu Tianxin didn't hear the outside sound of this sentence. She only knew that it really needed to be distilled more.

Lu Yan didn't explain much, because the little girl was already working hard, so she wasn't in a hurry, as long as she could drink during the New Year.

You can't tell the little girl that she wants to order wine.

I'll ask one of my men to buy it later and buy it at the normal price.

Suddenly there was a piece of fish gill meat in Xu Tianxin's bowl, which was picked up by Lu Yan.

"Eat more, you are too thin."

Sui Feng and Sui He: "..."

Miss Xu, you may not know that their general never picks up food for others.

Compared with the warmth here, the Xu family's four shops are particularly lively.

Mrs. Xu spoke to everyone and said that the Xu family and the village are very happy that the first group of guests to be entertained are you.

He also greeted the soldiers and generals, "Eat, take care of enough."

But that night, the villagers in Erdaohe Village ate rice soaked in water.

Lu Yan knew that Xu Tianxin's grandmother and grandmother ate the same food as the villagers.

Many of the soldiers and generals living here also saw this scene.

That’s why the next morning we had dumplings made by the villagers and boiled eggs for everyone, which made them so precious.

Afterwards, some soldiers returned to the camp to report.

At dawn the next day, Lu Yan had already mounted her horse, and she was looking at Xu Tianxin who was standing in front of her chattering.

The little girl said that she found the money and thought she had left too much money.

Not much, only 120 taels. I was rushing all the way to the general's mansion, and I only had this much left with me.

Moreover, a message has been sent to the town that a small town pavilion has confiscated 700 taels.

Lu Yan, wearing a helmet and tassel, bent down and pinched Xu Tianxin's face before turning the horse's head, leaving only one sentence: "I will buy you some beautiful clothes to wear."

After taking a deep look at the village, the group of people shouted and rode away.

He didn’t say whether he would come again or when he would meet again.

When Suihe rode up to Lu Yan, he said, "Tian Xin'er also secretly stuffed something for us."

Enough instant noodles for three people for a week, as well as brown sugar cubes.
