The charcoal fire was blazing under the stove, and the pot was steaming. Li Yi put the thinly sliced mutton into the pot. After it was scalded by the soup, he quickly turned it over. Just as he was about to stretch out his chopsticks to pick it up, Li Yi saw in front of him
Suddenly an afterimage flashed across, snatching away the mutton he had just cooked with lightning speed...
Li Yi glanced at Liu Ruyi. In terms of hand speed, he could not yet compare with Miss Liu Er.
Seeing as she was the one who cut the mutton today, I won’t bother with her about these trivial matters.
I picked up a piece of mutton that was as thin as paper and dipped it in the mixing bowl that had been prepared. It melted in my mouth. Being able to cut the mutton so thin, Miss Liu Er's knife skills are indeed well-deserved.
Naturally, you can’t eat hot pot without spicy food. I didn’t find a place selling chili peppers in the market. Fortunately, there are many kinds of seasonings here, so I found a substitute. Although the spiciness is still not comparable to chili peppers, it can only be
That's okay.
"Xiaohuan, add some more tofu, and by the way, some green vegetables, mushrooms, radishes..." Li Yi directed the little maid, while taking a sip from a glass of fruit wine. Although eating hot pot in autumn is not as enjoyable as in winter, it is
Li Yi, who was already itching, couldn't wait that long.
"Mr., eat slowly, no one will compete with you." Liu Ruyi said a little funny as she watched Li Yi pick up a piece of tofu from the pot and put it in his mouth. He was so hot that he took in air and refused to spit it out.
"Why didn't anyone grab it..." Li Yi glanced at Miss Liu Er opposite him, and without stopping, he fished out the mutton he had just put in.
Winter will be here in two months, and there will be many opportunities to eat hot pot in the future. It is necessary to instill hot pot etiquette into Miss Liu Er. It is very impolite to take away something that others put in specially...
Eating hot pot is actually about the atmosphere. The whole family gathers around the small stove and chats while eating. The little maid has not followed Li Yi recently, so she finally got a chance. Once the conversation started, she could never close it again.
Lao Fang came here by smelling the smell. As soon as he opened the door, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
He stared at the hot pot in the middle of the room and couldn't move away anymore.
"Lao Fang is here, Xiao Huan, go give Uncle Fang a pair of chopsticks." Li Yi greeted Xiao Huan.
"How can this be so embarrassing..."
Lao Fang's signature silly smile appeared on his face again. He moved a small chair and sat next to Li Yi with an embarrassed look on his face. He waited for Xiao Huan to bring him chopsticks and fished in the pot, but found nothing.
After I fished it out, the smile froze on my face.
"Oops, I'm sorry, all the food is gone... I wish you had come earlier." Li Yi looked up at Lao Fang and asked tentatively: "How about some soup?"
…………
There was still a little bit of mutton left and the vegetables were not finished yet. Watching Li Yi add soup to the pot and put the meat and vegetables into the pot, Lao Fang's face showed an expression of pleasure again.
While waiting for the vegetables to be cooked, Lao Fang took out a translucent object from his arms, handed it to Li Yi, and said, "Uncle, the soap you mentioned last time seems to be ready, can you see if it's okay?"
make."
Looking at the square block object in Lao Fang's hand, Li Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
In this era when poor people generally use soap beans to bathe, it is a very happy thing to have a piece of soap.
Some time ago, Chao Fang bought some alkali noodles and lime, and used the saponification reaction to make a batch of soap. Cold process soap needs nearly a month to mature before it can be used. During this time, Li Yi was busy with Ruyilu.
He asked Lao Fang to count the days and notify him when the time came.
Just after finishing the hot pot, my hands were naturally a little greasy, so I couldn't wait to pour water. After rubbing the soap in the water, a layer of rich foam formed on my hands.
This is the advantage of handmade soap. It has many foams, strong decontamination ability, and amazing cleaning ability without causing any harm to the skin.
When Li Yi made the first batch of soap, he didn't add any messy things to it. Although it didn't look good, it was very practical.
After rubbing the generated foam on your hands for a while, and then rinsing with water, your hands no longer feel greasy.
"Uncle, what is this?" Xiaohuan blinked curiously and looked at the soap in Li Yi's hand, wondering about something that could produce foam.
"Well, this is called soap. It's for washing hands and bathing. It's much easier to use than bath beans."
"So it's just pancreatic juice." The little maid nodded in understanding.
"What kind of soap? Can it be compared with my soap?" Li Yi pinched her little face and said, "I just finished eating hot pot and there is a smell on my body. Go take a shower."
"Xiaohuan has no smell..." The little maid stretched out her sleeves and smelled it. She muttered and ran to the kitchen to boil water.
When Li Yi turned around, he found Miss Liu Er playing with bubbles and seemed very interested in soap.
Then... Li Yi's first piece of soap was ruthlessly confiscated by her.
She takes a shower every day after she comes back from practicing. This soap is obviously better than bath beans.
Seeing that he couldn't beat her, Li Yi stopped arguing with her. The first batch of soaps he made was about dozens of pieces. He kept some at home and let Lao Fang and the others share the rest.
.
The soaps he made did not add chemical stabilizers, preservatives, or preservatives. Of course, Li Yi would not add them even if he wanted to. Generally, the use date is about one year.
According to the tutorial in the book, it was actually made in one go. Then I made some in small batches, improved the process, and added some essential oils and fragrances to it, and it became a real soap. As for the current finished product, it can only be called soap.
, if you add some sulfur appropriately, it will be sulfur soap, which has a certain bactericidal and insecticide effect and can prevent diseases. In this era when hygiene awareness is still low, it has higher practical value.
Ruyilu has been withdrawn for a long time, and it is time to launch a new product.
This time, Li Yi plans to take two routes: low-end and high-end. Ordinary soaps are sold at a lower price, taking the civilian route, while scented soaps are slightly more expensive, taking the aristocratic route. Of course, the fragrance can also be customized.
, but the price will be higher.
Covering both low-end and high-end markets, the profit is probably higher than that of ILO.
However, because the production cycle is too long, I am afraid it will have to wait until next year before the soap is officially launched for sale.
…………
With the help of several other shops, Ruyifang's business was booming for two days, and then gradually decreased. There were several girls and Lao Fang taking care of him in the shop, so he didn't need to worry. He had not gone down the mountain for two days.
.
When I have nothing to do, I practice martial arts, tell a few adapted versions of fairy tales to the little maid, or find some interesting books in the library to recharge my batteries. I live a very leisurely life.
It was late at night, and it was extremely quiet in Liuye Village. Hundreds of miles away, in Jingdu, within the imperial palace, it was equally quiet in a certain magnificent palace.
[PS: I will finish the exam tomorrow. The two chapters tomorrow will be updated in the evening. They will be on the shelves on Friday this week. There will be a lot of explosions after they are on the shelves. I hope that qualified book friends can come to Qidian to support the genuine version. The better the results will be when it is on the shelves.
