Chapter 151: Making soap is necessary for time travel
Shen Qingyu was shocked by her expression and looked at Zhao Yuzhu in disbelief: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Yuzhu was so excited that she almost stuttered when she spoke: "This round card... I also have a round card."
"Ah?"
Under Shen Qingyu's burning eyes, Zhao Yuzhu continued to explain awkwardly: "Later I gave it to someone else..."
Shen Qingyu: "..."
"Who did you give it to? That person is my mother?" Shen Qingyu had a different guess.
Zhao Yuzhu waved her hands repeatedly: "This is what happened..."
One day more than 20 years ago, Zhao Yuzhu, who was nine months pregnant, was told by several imperial doctors that the fetus was not in the correct position and would be prone to dystocia.
If it is difficult to give birth these days, it is basically equivalent to the death of both mother and child.
So Zhao Yuzhu's husband found a reclusive old midwife.
The old midwife was unwilling and wanted to run away.
Zhao Yuzhu's husband promised a huge profit, and she agreed to help correct the fetal position.
But the midwife said to let Zhao Yuzhu go, otherwise she would not help.
In desperation, Zhao Yuzhu's husband sent a message to the guards to drive a carriage and urgently send Zhao Yuzhu to the midwife's house. However, he stayed at the midwife's house and guarded her, fearing that she would run away.
Unexpectedly, not long after Zhao Yuzhu left home, she had a stomach attack. In desperation, she saw a village not far away, so she came to ask for help.
That family really helped her, but as soon as she entered, the mistress of that family also went into labor.
There was only one midwife for the two women, and the other one had an abnormal fetal position. The midwife was so busy that she hit the back of her head with her foot and her throat started to smoke.
From day to night, the last two women gave birth almost at the same time, but at this moment, the strong wind blew open the window and the candles in the room went out.
When she woke up, Zhao Yuzhu realized that the mistress of that family had given birth to a girl, but she herself had given birth to a boy.
It's a pity that the boy died after he was born.
The owner of the village thought Zhao Yuzhu was unlucky, so when the sky was dimming, Zhao Yuzhu's husband and midwife were picked up by guards.
The master of Zhuangzi asked them to take Zhao Yuzhu away.
I gave birth to a dead baby in another house, no wonder it was taboo.
Zhao Yuzhu felt guilty, so she gave the black jade medal to the hostess as an apology.
Shen Qingyu expressed her incomprehension: "This is unscientific! That woman took your round card, and it is said that it is impossible to give it to anyone else. How could my adoptive mother have it? Is she the mistress?"
Women in this era rarely travel far, let alone have children, and run out to marry again, and marry such a poor person.
Besides, everyone in Shenjia Village thinks Qingyu is the Shen family.
The adoptive mother is at least pregnant, and others can see her belly.
This is unreasonable.
Zhao Yuzhu thought for a while: "Shall I find someone to investigate that family and see what's going on?"
Shen Qingyu slapped her hands: "How can you find people as easily as Qi Yunxiao? He has thousands of people! Let his people go."
Zhao Yuzhu agreed.
So Qi Yunxiao also heard the bizarre story here.
Qi Yunxiao is an activist, so he immediately asked people to investigate according to what Zhao Yuzhu said.
However, we can't just wait. Zhao Yuzhu stood up and walked out: "I'm going to ask if your mother ever traveled far away when she was pregnant with you."
Zhao Yuzhu was the most experienced in asking about family affairs. After she went for a walk around the village, she quickly learned a piece of news from the old people.
After Shen Qingyu's mother got pregnant that year, she left for a while, saying she was going back to her parents' home. When she came back, she had already returned with the baby in her arms.
It only lasts about three months.
A family of three gathered in the room to discuss the clues at hand.
Shen Qingyu’s adoptive mother must have been pregnant.
But the Shen Qingyu she brought back may not be her child.
Judging from the birth date of Shen Qingyu, which everyone in the village knows, it matches the time when Zhao Yuzhu gave birth...
Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu were both a little excited.
But the two of them didn't dare to get too excited: they were afraid that some conclusions would be drawn too early, and in the end they would be in vain, and their happiness would be in vain.
Zhao Yuzhu looked at Shen Qingyu with burning eyes: "It would be great if you were my biological daughter, but if not, I would be very satisfied being your godmother!"
"I will be content if I can spend the rest of my life with you!"
Zhao Yuzhu said it conservatively, but everyone can feel her expectation and desire.
She also came through the soul. If Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu in this body are the biological mother and daughter, what kind of fate must they have?!
Shen Qingyu couldn't help but move forward and hug Zhao Yuzhu, shaking her in her usual coquettish tone: "Mom, you are my biological mother!"
Qi Yunxiao saw this, and his heart felt sour and soft.
The only time in my memory that Shen Qingyu was so coquettish and cute was when she was drunk...
It turns out that the real her, the one who let down her guard, is so cute?
"Don't worry, as long as that family is still there, we will definitely be able to find clues."
There must be many people who know about pregnancy and childbirth.
All that's left is to wait.
But Shen Qingyu couldn't wait any longer. She felt very uncomfortable and was in a state of confusion.
Zhao Yuzhu also felt uncomfortable waiting, so the two of them tried to figure out what to do.
"Shall we make soap?"
Zhao Yuzhu suggested.
Shen Qingyu agreed immediately.
People here still use pig pancreas, and Shen Qingyu basically doesn’t use it anyway.
There are soaps, toilet soaps, facial soaps, shower gels, shampoos in her space...
Why do you have to torture yourself when there are good things to use?
But there is none outside.
So sometimes in order to hide people's eyes and ears, I have to wash my hands with that pig's soap...
This thing is not complicated and is a must-have for time travellers.
Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu went to the town and bought a bunch of pig fat for refining oil, and also bought some quicklime for burning...
In just one day, the mother and daughter made the first soap of this era.
Although it looks like the old soap from the 1980s, it doesn’t smell good or looks good, but it’s several times better than pig soap!
After the mother and daughter experimented, they personally tested it and found it effective, so they cut the large lump of soap into several pieces.
Put one piece in the kitchen and one piece next to the water tank, and gave it to Qi Yunxiao, Xue Juzheng and Wenche, each with a small piece.
As soon as Xue Juzheng saw the lumpy thing, he would put it in his mouth: "What is this delicious?"
Shen Qingyu quickly pressed his hand with quick eyesight: "You can't eat this thing, it's for washing hands."
Xue Juzheng: "Huh?"
"It's just like pig pancreas, but the effect is better than pig pancreas..."
Shen Qingyu gave a demonstration.
Xue Juzheng expressed his disgust: "What's the use of this? It can't be eaten..."
Shen Qingyu: "Uh..."
The experimental subject is not suitable, please change it.
Liu Cuixi was pleasantly surprised: "Oh! This is so convenient for washing clothes! It's clean and durable! I washed a piece of clothes, and there was no shortage of soap!"
Shen Qingyu laughed: "How much do you think this thing could fetch if sold?"
Liu Cuixi hesitated for a moment: "This thing is naturally good, but if it is too expensive, ordinary villagers will not be willing to buy it."
If the clothes are dirty, you can wash them by hitting them with a mallet and they can still be worn.
Cheesecloth clothes are not worthy of anything too expensive.
Shen Qingyu understood, and the smile on her face faded a lot. She nodded solemnly: "I understand what you said, let me think about it."
Think about soap’s future customer positioning.
Should we take the high-end route or the middle-to-lower class route...
