After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Soap Powder

 It was still early when we left the restaurant.

Qin Yao led Dalang to the West Market where a stall was set up, selling white-haired squirrels.

Ordinary people wouldn't even take a second look at this kind of "playing with things to lose one's ambition" thing.

Qin Yao can only hope that she will be lucky and take a fancy to some housekeeper who comes out to buy it, and take it back to please the young master and lady in the house.

 The little squirrel didn't eat because the food Dalang fed it yesterday didn't taste good.

Qin Yao and the lady selling peanuts next to her spent two cents to catch a handful. The eyes of the originally limp squirrel suddenly lit up. If it hadn't been for the hemp rope around its feet, it would have jumped into Qin Yao's arms to grab the peanuts. .

Dalang put it down and took the peanuts from Qin Yao to feed it. The little squirrel picked it up and ate it. The way it gnawed looked particularly cute.

Qin Yao woke him up, and Dalang immediately made a big blush.

 “It won't run away, will it?”

Two pounds of fat can produce one pound of oil, and four pounds of fat can produce two pounds of oil, which is enough for her to make ten pieces of soap.

She didn't feel embarrassed at all. The whole street was filled with her hawking voice, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

 But when he heard Qin Yao say that this carriage was made for them to go to school next year, he was immediately moved.

“Sorry, it's just one. Whoever buys it first belongs to him.” Qin Yao gave him a look of disdain like you don't know what the goods are, and smiled and gave the little squirrel to the housekeeper and put it in the basket on her wrist.

As for other things, because the carriage space is very small, Qin Yao has no requirements for the time being.

Don't be awkward with the four-wheeled carriage, it's not as flexible as the current two-wheeled carriage. The carriage must be made of good materials, and including the wheels covered with metal, five taels of silver were spent just like this.

 When the coachman stopped and arrived at Xiahe Village, he was lying on Qin Yao's lap.

Qin Yao asked for a fixed table to be installed in the carriage. It is best that it can be folded and retracted at ordinary times, and can be unfolded and stood up when needed. It should also have a certain amount of storage space.

However, if alloy materials cannot be obtained, this idea will probably be difficult to realize.

 At first, he was leaning against the car fence, falling asleep, and his head fell on Qin Yao's back.

The purchasing boy who had not gone far was suddenly startled, and hurriedly came back and wanted it too.

Qin Yao found a carpenter in the city and booked a carriage.

 Fat meat is more expensive than pork belly, costing twenty-five cents per catty, which is exactly one hundred cents.

Who would have thought that going into the mountains for some experience would lead to such unexpected gains?

Thinking of being able to buy a few more acres of fertile land, Qin Yao was in a good mood and her fatigue disappeared.

 A housekeeper and a man who looked like a purchasing boy walked up to inquire about the price out of curiosity. Qin Yao stretched out six fingers and said, "Six hundred Wen."

The braised pork noodles that the two of them had for lunch were almost digested by now, and the aroma of pastries wafted into their noses. Reason and impulse were constantly at war with each other along the way, and Dalang's walking was so difficult.

I thought to myself that I would study carriage bearings in the future and make a four-wheeled carriage.

I vaguely heard a few sentences: "White hair is a rare breed, a rare breed that only comes once in a hundred years." "It has a good temper, and everyone will definitely like it after seeing it."

But Dalang obviously couldn't hold it any longer. The two took a bullock cart home and he slept the whole way.

The shopkeeper looked her up and down and saw the bow and arrow on her back and the knife tied with a cloth strip. He suppressed his disgust and said, "One tael for twenty coins."

Qin Yao bought some more cloth and shoe soles, and also brought two kilograms of cakes and five kilograms of meat.

"This kind of squirrel with white hair and cute face cannot be seen unless you go deep into the mountains. It only costs 600 coins, and you will make a lot of money if you buy it back." Qin Yao said seriously.

 But he also knew that the current situation at home was not suitable for raising this little guy, and he only hoped to find a good family who could treat the little guy well.

Dalang carried his own small baggage and weapons, and held the two kilograms of fragrant cakes in his hands.

Qin Yao was a little interested and asked how much it would cost.

 So moved, Dalang completely forgot that he had a father who was in the academy in the city.

After buying this deal, shopkeeper Fan only had eighty-one taels of silver left. Together with her original savings, there was a total of one hundred and eighty-four taels left.

"One tael?" Qin Yao suspected that she heard the unit wrong. Are you sure it's not a pound?

The shopkeeper had an impatient look on his face as he knew you were going to ask this question, so he said seriously: "Just one or two!"

Dalang looked at it with some reluctance.

 After saying that, I thought the mother and son would look embarrassed.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately took a breath of cold air. What the **** is this? It's too expensive!

Looking at the clothes of the mother and son, they looked like beggars. The shopping boy shook his head in disgust and walked away. After taking a few steps, he turned back and sneered:

　　“I don't even have two ounces of meat, but I still sell it for six hundred cents. I'm going crazy thinking about money!”

So he went back to the pork shop to buy fat meat.

 Fortunately, the two finally arrived at Liujiacun before nightfall.

 Unfortunately, it was a bit late, there was nothing left at the meat stall, and Qin Yao only bought four kilograms.

Unexpectedly, neither of them glanced at him. The younger one was concentrating on feeding the squirrels, while the older one was already chatting with the housekeeper.

Dalang followed his stepmother and watched her hand over five taels of silver to others without blinking. The young boy who had never seen so much money was slightly shocked in his heart.

The sun was about to set, and he had to hurry back to Liujia Village. Qin Yao had weapons on her back and her hands were full.

The carriage will not be delivered until mid-October, but Qin Yao can wait. After all, the carriage she customized is unconventional and a bit complicated.

Mother and son spent so many days in the forest without washing their hair or changing clothes, living like beggars.

As expected, there is none at all. There is only a clean powder called soap powder, which can foam when touched with water. It is said to be made from pig pancreas.

The little squirrel became lively and still sucked sperm. Seeing those people dressed as housekeepers appearing at the corner of the street, Qin Yao immediately started shouting.

"No." Qin Yao pulled the housekeeper aside and taught her a few tricks on how to train small animals.

 While shopping, there was also after-sales service. The housekeeper looked at the white-haired squirrel eating peanuts in the basket, and the more she looked at it, the more she fell in love with it.

"Forget it, let's go, Da Lang." Qin Yao turned around and left. Can't she do it herself if she can't afford it?

 Thanks to the grocery store for the inspiration, she suddenly remembered that she had learned how to make soap in her junior high school chemistry class.

After buying these, Qin Yao suddenly thought of cleaning supplies for bathing while passing by the grocery store and wanted to see if there were any soap locusts for sale.

With six hundred coins in hand, the reluctance in Dalang's heart instantly disappeared, and he just thought about buying something to go home.

The housekeeper thought about it for a while and said happily: "That's it."

The people enjoying the cool weather by the village well did not recognize the mother and son at first, until they heard the Erlang brother and sister playing in surprise, shouting "Aniang, eldest brother" and pounced on them. Then people looked up in surprise and saw that the beggar was actually Mrs. Qin!

Jinhua Jinbao led the way, and when he entered the house, he shouted excitedly: "My third aunt is back!"

 Supper had already been eaten in the house, and Old Man Liu was repairing farm tools. Everyone's eyes lit up.
