Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

137 Made Soap

“It’s almost done. Help me hold the cloth, I’ll scoop up the soap water.” She said to Liu Shi.

As she spoke, she went to take a bucket and filter cloth.

Liu Shi came over quickly.

Then, according to Lin Xiaoyue’s instructions, she stretched the filter cloth over the bucket.

!!

Lin Xiaoyue then used a water ladle to scoop up the soap water.

She filtered the boiling soap solution into the wooden bucket.

The mother and daughter worked hard to get all the soap water out of the pot.

After removing the sediments, they finally got a half a small pot of liquid soap.

“You can store them after they cool down.” Lin Xiaoyue said happily as she carried the bucket to a cupboard.

“I want to wash my hair. Mom, do you want to try it too?” Seeing that Liu Shi was curious, Lin Xiaoyue smiled at Liu Shi.

“There’s water in the pot. I’ll watch you do it first.” Liu Shi said.

“Hehe, okay!”

Ten minutes later, when Liu Shi saw that Lin Xiaoyue had made bubbles with soap, and the bubbles were not much less than the shampoo they used before, her eyes lit up.

“It’s really useful!” Liu Shi exclaimed.

She had gotten used to using her daughter’s shampoo for the past month. Seeing that the shampoo was about to run out, she was a little worried, but she didn’t have to worry anymore.

“Of course, it’s all natural!” Smelling the fragrance of the soap and remembering that she made it herself, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart was filled with joy.

“It can be used to wash clothes. Mom, you can add some of this when you soak the clothes. It’ll be easier to remove the stains.”

Anyway, there were plenty of black locusts on the mountain. She could get more in the coming days.

“Sure, I’ll try it tonight!” Liu Shi’s face was filled with excitement.

Then, she went to wash the pots and clean the kitchen.

After Lin Xiaoyue finished washing her hair, she dried her hair until it was half dry. Then, she busied herself in the courtyard for a while, and her damp hair dried completely.

She went back to the backyard and tied her hair up. Then, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

“Don’t make too many dishes. There are still some leftovers from yesterday’s party. If we don’t finish them, they won’t be edible anymore.” Liu Shi said to Lin Xiaoyue while cooking.

“Yes, I know. There’s not much left, I’ll make scrambled eggs with chives and cucumbers!”

She actually wanted to eat meat, but there was no refrigerator in ancient times, so meat was cooked on the same day it was bought. She didn’t go to town today, so she couldn’t have it even if she wanted to.

Well, maybe she shouldn’t have sold the 100 catties of wild boar meat last time. It would be nice to make cured meat.

And sausages!

Sigh, she couldn’t help but drool at the thought of it.

It wasn’t easy for her to escape from the apocalypse, so of course she had to eat and sleep well!

She must eat more meat!

She quickly made a mental note that she was going to buy meat from town tomorrow to make cured meat and sausages.

It was just two simple dishes, one of which was a cold dish. Lin Xiaoyue did not spend much effort making the dishes.

After lunch, Lin Xiaoyue soaked another 6 catties of rice to make cold glutinous cakes later.

By this time, the soap had already cooled down. Lin Xiaoyue took out ceramic jars.

After cleaning the jars, she poured the soap into them.

She put a long wooden spoon in one of the jars and took it to the bathroom at the back.

Then, she carried the other jar and went out.

When Liu Shi learned that Lin Xiaoyue was going to the Wang family to deliver soap, she did not stop her. She even asked Lin Xiaoyue to invite Aunt Wang and Wang Erya to come over when they were free.

Lin Xiaoyue agreed and went out.
