All the things he brought were quickly moved down, and Zhang Renshen rushed to give the two coachmen the remaining money and let them leave first.
Bai Banxia introduced the house to others, then assigned rooms to everyone, and went to the kitchen to heat hot water.
"Xiaocao, sister will take you to take a bath tonight." Bai Banxia smiled mischievously, "I ordered a big wooden bucket, let's take a nice bath."
Xiaocao was also very happy, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, the washing smells good."
In the past, the space in the Bai family was limited, there were too many people in the family, and there was really not enough room, so it was too difficult to take a bath.
In fact, it is most convenient to place the wooden basin in the stove. After boiling the hot water, pour it directly into it to adjust the temperature. But the Bai family's stove is a simple shed. It has no air leakage and no privacy. Bathing is definitely not allowed.
But today's kitchens are different. They should be called high-standard kitchens, which are larger than the smallest house. The windows and doors can be closed, making bathing much more convenient.
"Let's make some simple food and prepare a good meal tomorrow?" Zhang Lingzhi asked.
Bai Banxia nodded, "Eat something simple, and we'll take turns taking a hot bath later."
Zhang Lingzhi was also very moved when she looked at the big wooden barrel. It was too difficult to take a bath at this time.
Bai Banxia quickly cut up the bacon and wind chicken that he brought, put the washed whole grains into the pot, added a basket, steamed rice below, steamed bacon and wind chicken above, and also brought some sesame seed cakes.
After adding heat, it will be delicious if you want to eat it, and if you want to eat sesame seed cakes, the bacon will be delicious.
My aunt here also helped wash a sauerkraut she brought. Bai Banxia quickly cut it into pieces and made sauerkraut stewed meatballs in a pot next to it.
Grandma fried the meatballs at home. Fried meatballs are easy to store and can be used in soups, stews, and stir-fries, so grandma prepared a basket full of meatballs.
Soon the food was ready, and everyone took the initiative to help serve the food and grab the bowls and chopsticks. There was no rule in the Zhang family that men should not enter the kitchen. My grandpa secretly ate a meatball while serving the food, and his grandma hit him on the back of his hand.
"How old are you, and you still eat secretly like a child?" Grandma said with disgust.
"The meatballs you make are still delicious. I haven't gotten tired of eating them for decades." Grandpa said with a smile.
Xiaocao covered her mouth and snickered, "Grandma, I just ate it too."
Grandma laughed, touched Xiaocao's head and said, "We Xiaocao should eat it. You are still growing, so you don't eat it secretly."
"Partial, too partial!" Grandpa complained, but he couldn't help laughing.
When the family sat down, there were only two pots of food, but the portions were sufficient, including vegetables and meat, as well as enough rice and cakes.
Everyone chatted while eating, and everyone felt much better after eating.
After the meal, Bai Tian took the initiative to wash the pots. His uncle said he wanted to wash the dishes. Bai Banxia was about to speak, but his aunt stopped him.
"Tell the men to work, otherwise they will become lazy."
Bai Banxia nodded with a smile and said to her aunt and Luo Xiuer: "Boil more water later. Let's all take a hot bath and wash off the dust."
Luo Xiuer was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "I don't need it. I washed it at home."
"Second cousin, you definitely don't have fragrant soap or fragrant body lotion when you wash at home. You must wash with me and you will smell delicious." Xiaocao wanted to praise her sister's things to the sky.
.
Xiaocao takes the most baths at Bai's house. On the one hand, she is still young, so bathing is convenient. On the other hand, her injuries need to be washed frequently. Only when they are clean can she apply medicine.
Bai Banxia also made several scented soaps. In addition to the ointment for Xiaocao's wounds, there is also a whitening and moisturizing lotion. Not only does it smell fragrant, but it is also soft and tender, which is especially comfortable.
.
So Xiaocao likes it when her sister calls her to take a bath.
"The three of you wash together, and later I will join you, your mother, and your grandma, and finally the elders," said the aunt.
Luo Xiuer couldn't refuse anymore and nodded in agreement.
In the kitchen, Bai Tian cleaned the pots very carefully, and his uncle couldn't help but praise him, "Brother-in-law, you are so meticulous."
"This pot needs oil. My daughter doesn't like it, so I have to make it cleaner. As a doctor, she always prefers cleaner things." Bai Tian's face was full of smiles, without any hint of impatience.
"Others used to say my sister was stupid, but I think my sister is the smartest." Zhang Renshen praised.
"It's also thanks to my parents and my uncle, otherwise they wouldn't have married Ganoderma lucidum to me." Bai Tian said with a smile.
After the water was boiled, Baitian poured hot water into the tub, mixed it with cold water, and then filled the pot with water and started boiling it.
The eldest cousin added some firewood to the stove, called Bai Banxia and others, and then went to the hall to chat.
Luo Xiuer originally thought that Xiaocao was just saying that it smells good when she washes it, but after washing it, she discovered that it really smells good!
"Ban Xia, how do you make this fragrant soap? Why does it smell so good? Is it the smell of jasmine?" she asked in surprise.
Bai Banxia chuckled, "It's made from the jasmine flowers I collected before and added some skin-nourishing herbs."
She took another piece and handed it to Luo Xiu'er, "This is for hair washing and hair removal. It's a good oil. This one has a more complex scent. It's made of various wild flowers in the mountains, but it smells very good when mixed together."
"You are so awesome. If you sell these, they will definitely be popular." Luo Xiuer praised.
Bai Banxia nodded, "I also thought that I would have the opportunity to do some business in the future, but the cost of these things is not low. Not many people in our village or small town are willing to waste this money, and they can only do it in places like Xiguan City.
Sell sell.”
"Indeed, you also added medicinal materials, so the cost must be quite high." Luo Xiuer said.
In fact, the prescription of Bai Banxia is very affordable, but the proportion is very particular. Even if others buy it and study it, even if they find out what medicinal materials are used, they will not be able to learn exactly the same medicine.
The most likely reason is that the medicinal smell overpowers the fragrance, or there is only fragrance but no skin nourishing effect.
"Second cousin, are you interested in learning? I will teach you and my second brother later, and we will be able to earn a living," Bai Banxia said.
Luo Xiuer looked at her in surprise, "How can you teach us this? We can just help you."
"What's wrong with my family?" Bai Banxia laughed, "Hurry up and flush the water. Let's buy raw materials together later."
Luo Xiuer felt warm in her heart, rubbed her hair a few more times, and followed Bai Banxia to rinse the foam out of her hair.
Xiaocao felt very comfortable soaking in the barrel. She even swam twice and asked in a cooing voice: "Sister, do I look like a little frog?"
"It doesn't look like a little frog, it looks like a little toad!" Bai Banxia laughed.
"Ooooooo, sister is bullying me!" Xiaocao pretended to cry, but Bai Banxia giggled again.
Bai Banxia carried her out and helped her dry the water. Her injury could not be soaked in hot water for too long, but even then the injury became red.
"Second cousin sister-in-law, hurry up and soak it first, and I'll apply medicine to Xiaocao." Bai Banxia said.
Luo Xiuer couldn't refuse, so she stepped into the tub and soaked in it.
