Chapter 319 Making Dishwashing Liquid
After a while, just as Xiaojiu said, she received a video about how to make shampoo using soapberry.
Shen Wanning clicked on it and saw that in addition to soapberries, they also needed soapberries. She remembered that soapberries looked a lot like lentils, something she had learned about in her Chinese textbook.
She just wondered if there were any soapberry trees in the woods. If so, she would find some soapberry and soapberry to make shampoo.
She was walking alone in the woods, chatting with netizens and asking them to help pay attention to the surroundings to see if there were any soapberry trees.
Fortunately, God seemed to be helping her. Not long after walking, she actually saw a large area of soapberry trees. Not only that, they were covered with soapberries.
She was a little excited. It seemed that even God was helping her.
She had come to the mountain to take a look around and had no tools with her, so she had to ask a netizen to send her a basket. She picked some honey locusts and put them in the basket. On the way back, she picked up some soapberries and put them in the basket.
After returning home, I first drew a basin of well water, put all these things in the basin and washed them clean.
The three little ones went to school, and Yue Mingzhu was a little bored at home. Seeing Shen Wanning washing things here, she ran over to join in the fun.
"Aunt, what is this? Can these things be eaten?" Yue Mingzhu asked curiously.
Shen Wanning smiled and shook her head, then replied, "You can't eat it. I use these to make shampoo."
"Ah, for washing hair? We used to wash our hair with rice water. Can this thing also be used to wash hair?" Yue Mingzhu moved a stool, sat next to Shen Wanning, and washed with her.
"Yeah, and this stuff has better cleaning power than rice water! Wait until I make it, and you'll know when you try it."
"I believe in my aunt. Because my aunt not only discovered cassava, but also sweet potatoes, cotton and other things. I heard from Xiao Jiang and others that nothing my aunt made was unsuccessful. Xiao Jiang also secretly told me that those wooden products were all drawn by my aunt herself, and he helped to make them." As Yue Mingzhu spoke, she talked more.
"Oh! He actually told you all this?" Shen Wanning was a little surprised.
"Hehe, I pestered him for a long time, asking him how he could come up with these things. He told me because he got fed up with my pestering. But he's pretty amazing, because he made all those things."
Shen Wanning agreed, "You're right. He's so young, yet he's able to create so many things. He's truly amazing."
"Then aunt, how do you know all this? You are so amazing! You know everything!" Yue Mingzhu praised.
"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. In the past, I liked to travel around the world and saw many different places, even things in small villages, which have not been circulated. So slowly, I naturally understand more things." Shen Wanning made up an excuse.
"Oh, so that's how it is! That aunt is really amazing. She actually dares to go to so many places alone. My family would never let me go out alone! This time I sneaked out by myself." Yue Mingzhu said with a pout.
"Of course, they're worried about your safety too!"
After washing the soapberries and soapberries, Shen Wanning put them back into the basket, took out a small basin, and filled half of it with water.
Then, she began to peel the soapberry and globose, discarded the seeds, and then put the soapberry and soapberry skins into a basin to soak.
"Hey, that's really strange. Shampoo is made with the peel instead of the seeds." Yue Mingzhu said as she peeled the fruit.
"Yes, both peels can produce a lot of foam, which is good for cleaning. By the way, Mingzhu, can you help me pick some more arborvitae leaves at the door?"
"Okay, aunt, wait for me, I'll go right away." Yue Mingzhu agreed, then stood up in a hurry, picked up a basket and ran out of the yard.
By the time Shen Wanning had almost finished peeling the soapberries and soapberries, Yue Mingzhu came back with a basket of cypress leaves.
"Oh, Mingzhu, why did you pick so many leaves?" Shen Wanning said, looking at the full basket of cypress leaves.
"Didn't you tell me to pick arborvitae leaves, aunt? I didn't know how many I should pick, and I was afraid that if I picked too little, they wouldn't be enough, so I just picked a basket full." Yue Mingzhu replied.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just one basket at a time. Wait a moment, I'll put this basin of water on the edge of the eaves, and then come over to wash the cypress leaves with you." Shen Wanning said.
She had just walked over with the water soaked with soapberries and honey locusts when Yue Mingzhu started washing the arborvitae.
Platycladus orientalis leaves can kill bacteria, prevent spoilage and remove odors.
After washing the arborvitae, add half of the arborvitae leaves to the basin of water used to soak the soapberries and soak them together. When boiling, you can add some roses, tea leaves, etc. to increase the fragrance.
It’s a pity that there are no mint leaves. Otherwise, the mint leaves would smell nice and give you a cool feeling when washing your hair, which would be more comfortable!
After finishing all this, it was almost time for lunch.
After lunch and a short nap, around five o'clock, Shen Wanning went to the fields again. She had almost forgotten that the entire Daqing Village was planted with cotton this year. Now was the cotton harvest season.
The cotton has not yet fully opened, but a lot of it has already opened. The villagers are outside picking cotton, and some of the cotton is about to open but has not yet opened. The villagers also pick it and put it in the sun to dry, and then it will open.
"The cotton is growing really well this year. After the harvest is complete, we will report it to the emperor. Will our village get another reward?" The village head walked up to Shen Wanning and said.
"We can't guess what the emperor is thinking. But logically speaking, the emperor should reward us." Shen Wanning replied.
"When the cotton harvest comes this year, every household will be able to make quilts and cover themselves with them. No one will freeze to death anymore. Since you, Wan Ning, came to our Daqing Village, our lives have been getting better and better!" the village head sighed.
"This is also the result of everyone's concerted efforts. I can't do it alone." Shen Wanning said modestly.
"Oh, our Daqing Village is getting better and better, that's great!" The village head was very happy to see everyone working in the fields and the prosperous scene.
"Yes, in about a month, the sweet potatoes will be ripe. Then we'll report the sweet potatoes and cotton together and see what the emperor says!" Shen Wanning replied.
