Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

After the beams are put up, the new house is covered with tiles, one by one, and it gradually begins to look like a home.

There are thirty workers invited by the Jiang family, plus the manpower brought by Master Zheng, there are more than forty people. It is definitely not possible to use so many people to build tiles.

So, Jiang Wei led some people to start repairing the ground in the courtyard.

The new house built at home is made of blue bricks, and the courtyard walls are made of bricks. The yard should not be too shabby, and it should be paved with something. Otherwise, when it rains, the dirt floor will be splashed with mud everywhere, making it dirty and messy.

The Jiang family's new house covers an area of ​​nearly three to four hundred square meters, and the yard is also very large. Paving the floor with tiles is a big expense.

But Jiang Wei didn't want to fool around with the cheapest floor tiles on the streets in town, so she spent another sum of money and personally took people to the brick kilns in the town to select floor tiles for her home.

She chose a total of two types of bricks. One was a bluestone slab laid in the courtyard. It was not expensive, one foot long and one foot wide, and cost three cents a piece. The other type is floor tiles specially laid in the house, two feet long and two feet wide, costing six cents a piece.

This time, a lot of money was spent. When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw the large trucks of floor tiles that her mother had sent home, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken and bleed.

How much does this cost...

Moreover, this is too ostentatious. Every household in the village has a dirt floor. Even if the house is a little more prosperous and upright, there are only a few rough bricks paved in the yard.

However, she heard that the bricks at Cao Yuanwai's house in Yong'an Town were all high-quality bricks from the county town, costing more than ten cents a piece, and she suddenly felt balanced again.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at the new house that was gradually taking shape. It was a classic two-story Chinese-style courtyard house with a courtyard. In addition to the traditional main house, upper house, east and west wing rooms, and wing rooms, there was also a stove room, firewood room, thatched cottage, and bathhouse. Wait, the layout is large and practical, and it looks very grand and classy.

As for the layout of the second floor, it is much simpler, with two bedrooms plus a study room, and the rest is the balcony.

There are so many books, paper and pens at home now. Once we have a study room, these books, paper and pens will have a place to store them. In the future, you can also read and study in the study room. When you are tired, you can go outside to the balcony to relax and breathe fresh air. When the weather is cold in winter, you can also move a deck chair to the balcony to relax in the sun. It will be very comfortable just thinking about it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the new house that was about to be built, and felt very satisfied, feeling that her family's life was getting better and better.

On this day, the new house was completed and her soap was ready.

The soap in the bamboo tube had solidified. Jiang Xiaoxiao opened it carefully and cut the soap into small pieces with a kitchen knife.

She fetched a basin of water to the workers' field and said with a smile: "Everyone is tired from work, come and wash your hands before eating."

"Xiaoxiao is really sensible. At such a young age, it doesn't matter if he helps the family, but he also fetches water and washes his hands for us old men. If only my little son was half as obedient and sensible as you..." Master Zheng stood up first. , bent down and was about to wash it casually, when Jiang Xiaoxiao handed over a square thing.

"Master Zheng, use this to wash your hands."

"what is this?"

"Soap." Jiang Xiaoxiao said, briefly demonstrating how to use this thing, "Master Zheng, you wet your hands first, then apply soap on your hands and you can wash them clean..."

Master Zheng put his hands into the basin to wet them as Jiang Xiaoxiao said, and then took the soap. He smelled it and found a faint milky scent, which was slippery in his hands. He applied it twice, and a layer of fine white foam formed on his palms. He rubbed it twice more, and the mud on his hands was easily rubbed off.

"Hey, why are these the same as the bath beans in the capital?" The apprentice next to Master Zheng had seen the world, and he could tell at a glance that this square thing was the same as the bath beans used by wealthy people in the capital.

Master Zheng also looked surprised. He rubbed his hands full of foam, quickly put his hands into the basin, washed them twice and then took them out. His hands became clean!

"This thing called soap is better than those bath beans sold in Beijing." Master Zheng touched his hands in surprise. He also used bath beans when he was in Beijing, but there was no such thing called soap for washing. So clean!

Moreover, after washing my hands with soap, my skin is moisturized and very dry, without the tightness and dryness after using bath beans at all.

"Really?" A group of farm men saw soap for the first time, and they all came forward to wash their hands with soap.

They have been doing rough work all year round, and their hands are not only dirty, but also dark and rough. They usually wash them with rice water or plant ash water, but the washing is not so clean. Now they wash them with soap, even the old accumulated dirt between their nails. A lot of black mud stains have been washed away!

"Oh my God, Xiaoxiao, where did you get this thing called soap?" Even Qiulian Niang couldn't help but praise her after washing her hands with soap, "I feel like my hands turned white after washing. It’s very smooth and smooth. If you wash your hands with this thing every day, won’t your hands become whiter and moister?”

Qiu Lianniang works as an embroidery worker. Because she often comes into contact with embroidery threads and fabrics, she is very sensitive to her hands' skin and touch. She immediately discovered what makes soap unique.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled: "Since Aunt Qiulian likes it so much, I will give this soap to you."

This soap is made with goat's milk, which has a better moisturizing effect than ordinary soap without adding anything. Qiu Lian Niang has been doing rough work all year round, and her skin is a little rough. If you use this soap to wash your hands and moisturize your hands often, your skin will slowly improve. Getting better will be of great benefit to embroidery workers.

"You can't do that. This stuff looks very expensive at first glance." Qiu Lianniang hurriedly pushed the soap back into Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand.

Master Zheng just said that this thing is better than the bath beans sold in the capital. Although she doesn't know how much it is worth, it is definitely not cheaper than the bath beans.

"It's not worth anything. It's all made by Xiaoxiao herself. If you like it, just use it." Jiang Wei stepped forward and faced the crowd, preparing to sell his daughter, "Go ahead and use this soap." It has a strong cleaning ability and can be used not only to wash hands and faces, but also to wash clothes..."

"What? This thing called soap is made by Xiaoxiao?!"

When everyone heard Jiang Wei's words, they immediately exploded.

"Oh my god! Xiaoxiao, how did you make such a useful thing?!"

"Xiaoxiao, you are so amazing, you deserve to be a literate and well-read person!"

"Oh, it would be great if my daughter was half as good as you..."

……

Everyone couldn't help but praise him, and Master Zheng's young apprentices swarmed in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao, chattering and asking questions, and some even directly asked to buy soap.

"Xiaoxiao, can you sell me some of the soap you make?"
