Splendid peasant girl

Chapter 558 Soap
Shen Qiqiao was just thinking about scented soap.

She took the ceramic jar with spices, opened the lid and smelled it.

Well, there is a strong fragrance of petals wafting out of it, but the fragrance is a bit mixed, not very pure,

At present, she is just an experimental product, and she doesn't need to be so particular, otherwise she would tell Ye Han before: I want the same flower seeds.

She set the jar aside for a while for later use, and began to boil the soap.

She used vegetable oil to make soap before, because vegetable oil is soft fat (liquid fat), so the final soap made is not very hard, so she used up all of it after a few uses.

This time she decided to use hard fat and some vegetable oil in the middle to make soap with moderate softness.

With this thought in mind, Shen Qiqiao began to boil soap liquid.

She put a large piece of lard in a ceramic pot, and then heated it over water to fully melt the fat inside, then put in rapeseed oil that was one-third similar to lard, and started to simmer.

As she continued to heat, after the solution inside was thoroughly mixed, Shen Qiqiao quickly put in the extract of plant ash, then quickly stirred the two with chopsticks, added firewood, and boiled slowly.

Seeing that it was almost done, a layer of soap foam appeared on it, Shen Qiqiao quickly put in a small spoonful of petal perfume, and continued to brew.

While cooking, Shen Qiqiao smelled a faint fragrance of flowers and herbs.

She knew that as long as soap could be made, the soap would be almost ready.

This is the first time for Shen Qiqiao to make soap for herself, so the requirements are not very high, as long as it can be shaped, solidified, and used, it is considered a success.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Xiaolan had dinner, so she ran to her room to rest, but she was really bored, so she wanted to come out to have a look. Seeing that the kitchen room was brightly lit, she jumped up and down.

As soon as she entered the stove, a faint scent of flowers and plants penetrated her nose and nose, and Xiaolan screamed.

Shen Qiqiao's soap has already entered the finishing stage, seeing Xiao Lan coming in at this moment, she smiled slightly: "Xiao Lan, you said you want scented soap during the day, didn't you?"

"Yes, yes, sister, isn't it difficult? After all, it is already a luxury to use soap, and I don't think it can make it more fragrant, alas!"

Seeing Xiaolan's melancholy expression, Shen Qiqiao's heart ached, how could she be willing to let her be wronged?

Immediately said: "Silly sister, who said it was difficult? Come and have a look, my sister is almost successful!"

"Ah, really?"

Shen Xiaolan was greatly surprised, and immediately rushed to watch.

Sure enough, in a ceramic pot in the middle of the big iron pot, a layer of whitish solid objects gradually floated up. As the heating continued, the white objects became more and more, and finally condensed into pieces.

Shen Qiqiao quickly scooped up the lumps of soap, and pressed them in an iron mold.

The soap is a light bright yellow color, a little cloudy, but there is no pigment added in it, the color is already very good.

Shen Qiqiao put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, the scent was light, although it wasn't as strong as the soap bought in supermarkets later on, but it smelled good!
This one is full of pure plant fragrance, and there are no harmful substances synthesized by chemicals. Even if you accidentally eat the foam inside while taking a bath, it will not cause too much harm, how good it is!

Shen Qiqiao smiled happily, and then with quick eyesight and quick hands, she took out all the soap pieces that slowly precipitated inside, and pressed them into small soaps one by one.
