Chapter 6: Fragrant Wash

Liu Mu placed the bird egg in the plant ash water; it is incorrect for the egg to float completely or sink entirely; it should float in the middle. This is the simplest method to test the alkalinity of the plant ash water.

Sorrow arises from the heart, and Qin Qiong feels distressed. This situation is not the first time; ever since the great battle in Hebei, he has often felt this way. Recently, it has occurred even more frequently. He thinks to himself, having traversed the battlefield for many years and fought countless fierce battles... Yet at this moment, he feels utterly powerless. Could it be that the rest of his life...

Three types of floral scents, twelve different molds, each one being one-third the size and shape of the soap of later generations. However, each one features a relief depicting one of the twelve zodiac animals

The door was knocked on repeatedly, and after a while, the door of the Taoist temple finally opened. The white-clad immortal, seeing it was Liu Mu, only opened half of the door and softly asked, "What is the matter?"

Struggling to climb onto the horse's back, Liu Mu did not head to the Li residence, but instead went to the Taoist temple

Liu Mu was packing the boxes while saying to Qin Qiong: "My family has encountered a water issue, and these wooden materials were originally sent from the home of a general surnamed Qin in Chang'an, arranged by the steward of the Jingyang estate to take care of me. Right now, I need to quickly exchange some money and silk to buy back the wooden materials as soon as possible"

"What is it?" Seeing Liu Mu staring blankly at him, Master Bai's tone carried a hint of displeasure

No, no... Qin Qiong wanted to say that he was fine, but at this moment, he felt dizzy, his vision blurred, and he lacked strength in his legs. Even the hand that was resting on Liu Mu's shoulder could not muster the strength to form a fist

This is something that happened to him personally, but it is indeed the first time he has heard the expression "to stab someone in the back"

After being taken out of the mold, the willow wood was carefully refined with a small knife

Taking two boxes, Liu Mu prepared to go out: "A Bao Ge, I am going out to find wealthy households to see if they are willing to buy these fragrant washes. I know there is a manor over there, and the manor owner is a woman who likes to wear red clothes. Her family is wealthy, so she is likely to offer a bit more money."

Five sisters are manually grinding the dried petals using smooth stones, and the final semi-finished soap is mixed with the fine powder of the petals

However, at this moment, Qin Qiong did not wish to speak any further

General Qin

At this moment, Liu Mu displayed an extreme calmness

As for the production of synthetic soda, under the current circumstances, Liu Mu can only say ha ha and he he, as it is fundamentally impossible without any financial foundation, and the number of tools required is excessive, along with the complexity of the process

Because Qin Qiong saw Liu Mu turning to look at his elder sister Liu Ruyan, as if he were speaking to himself: "I need to buy more wood; I must prepare forty-eight legs for my sister when she gets married"

The running willow heard the sound of hooves, only to see Qin Qiong's horse chasing after him

"Second Sister, immediately take Third Sister, Fourth Sister, and Fifth Sister to the hill to gather the red and green leaves of the wild goose, making sure to collect a half red and half green variety, and try to pick the younger leaves as much as possible. Eldest Sister, quickly grind the millet at home into flour and prepare some clean water. I will be back very soon, very soon." Liu Mu grabbed a few pieces of freshly made soap and rushed out the door.

Liu Mu's few words made Qin Qiong increasingly fond of this family

I will accompany you. Qin Qiong was concerned that Liu Mu might be turned away if he went to the door recklessly, so he planned to assist Liu Mu. Moreover, he had personally witnessed the quality of the fragrant wash, which was indeed a good product. You have a total of six boxes; I have some connections in Chang'an that can help you exchange them for money and silk.

The first batch of products made from willow wood is truly handcrafted, utilizing primitive techniques. Originally originating from Egypt, the soap has undergone countless improvements by numerous online experts throughout the ages

( Amaranthus cruentus, commonly known as red amaranth )

Ah, there is something. I originally intended to present you with some tokens of my regard, but suddenly there have been some changes. I know you have medicinal herbs here, and I would like to request some medicine. This is for you. " Liu Mu handed over a small wooden box: " This is called Xiangxi, used for personal cleansing. Trust me, it is a hundred times better than soap.

Qin Qiong believes that Liu Mu might go to the Li family to seek the Red Hero for medicine for himself

What is meant by "forty-eight legs"

Liu Mu gazed at the white immortal, his eyes somewhat dazed, beautiful, a beauty that penetrated to the soul.

Liu Mu lunged forward, but it was still a moment too late, and Qin Qiong crashed heavily against the tree

Isn't it just talking about oneself? Qin Qiong recalled that his personal soldiers had mentioned the poverty of the Liu family, which is why there was the matter of sending wood to customize some items.

Struggling to lift half of his body, he let out a whistle, and his horse chased after Liu Mu. Qin Qiong believed that upon seeing this horse, the Red Hero would not make things difficult for Liu Mu out of respect for him

Qin Qiong himself did not dare to think any further

While Liu Mu was speaking, his hands did not stop: "Come, come. Abao, be steady, slow down a bit. Yes, yes, place the pottery jar here"

Qin Qiong nodded slightly, then supported himself with a nearby wooden post and stood up

Even if it is not the case, as long as a person has good character, Liu Mu will acknowledge it

The final step has arrived, and the willow wood falls silent, holding its breath as it begins to pour the mold

Qin Qiong did not try, but Liu Ru Yan did. After washing her hands and face, she instantly transformed into a different person. That fair and clean face was simply endearing.

Over there, the woman in the red dress

I truly feel a sense of emotion; the novel has mentioned countless times how the BMW understands human nature, and today I have indeed witnessed it

This method, in later years, was extensively researched by Liu Mu, who consulted countless materials

Upon seeing the gaze of Qín Qióng, reminiscent of a gentle autumn breeze, Liú Rúyān felt a smile bloom within her heart. It seemed that she must devise every possible means to make Qín Qióng her brother-in-law. Of course, it was also necessary to further confirm whether this individual was indeed Qín Qióng himself.

Qin Qiong certainly knows who it is, Li Jing's wife, known in the martial arts world as the Red Heroine

The mold made of willow wood is exceptionally outstanding

What is this?" Qin Qiong was very surprised

The white-clad man blocked the door with his foot, not allowing Liu Mu to enter, and asked in a low voice: "What medicine do you need?"

After the mold was filled, Liu Mu waited patiently for it to cool completely before taking out the item he had painstakingly crafted over the course of two days

Abao, after being busy for quite a while, your hands are dirty; wash them.

Perhaps due to squatting for too long, when Qin Qiong stood up, his vision went dark, and he staggered a few steps before nearly falling to the ground

The remainder is to be made into simple small cubes

The box is made from leftover rosewood

The hot melted oil was mixed with the lye from the ashes, relying on Qin Qiong's physical strength to ensure rapid stirring

This is called fragrant wash; low-quality items like the one from Yizi are not effective. Abao Ge will know after trying it.

Furniture, a term used to refer to a set of furniture. The explanation of willow wood was not detailed.

I have thanked Brother Abao, but I plan to give away those four boxes. I want to send one box to Bai Zhenren for taking care of my sisters. General Qin from Chang'an is a good person, so I intend to send him two boxes. As for the last box, I plan to keep it for my elder sister. Once I exchange this for money and silk, I will make some more, and I will truly trouble Brother Abao at that time

Liu Mu was trying hard to recall the soup recipes he had memorized: "Five qian of Angelica... No, that's wrong. It's five qian of Astragalus, one qian of Angelica, plus half a qian of honeysuckle..." Liu Mu quickly recited the prescription.
