The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 187 Building a Workshop

Ye Xinran and Lu Changqing discussed the workshop matters.

It was not until very late that the final plan was decided.

Ye Xinran felt a little embarrassed when packing up the drawings.

"Did it delay your study time?"

Chang Qing didn't care, "Studying requires accumulation over time, not just a short period of time."

"Sister, it's not difficult to build a workshop, but where did you get the formula for the facial soap? Have you tried it yourself? Does it really work?"

Lu Changqing was a little worried.

However, his words also gave Ye Xinran some hints.

"What did you use to wash your face when you were in the academy?" Ye Xinran suddenly asked.

"Use, use clean water!"

Lu Changqing was stunned by the question, and immediately added: "It seems that some people also use bath beans."

Speaking of this, Chang Qing became even more worried: "Sister, what you are going to make is not something like bath beans, right?

I tell you, that thing is useless!

A classmate of mine had acne all over his face and wanted to use bath beans to clean it, but it got worse the more he washed.

In the end, I had no choice but to go to the clinic and get some medicine. I boiled the medicine and applied it on my skin every day, and that’s when I felt a little better.

But the smell of the medicine was particularly bad. We endured it for a long time. Every day in class was like squatting in a toilet!"

"puff!"

Ye Xinran laughed out loud at his description.

"Are the acnes you're talking about small pimples with white points on them?"

"It seems so!" Lu Changqing exclaimed, "Sister, you don't have to explain it in such detail!"

The details reminded him of that stench again!

Ye Xinran immediately said, "Then I'll give your classmate a try after I make this facial soap to see if it can remove some of the acne!"

"The classmate I'm talking about is in the capital!"

Lu Changqing said quickly, "Besides, he is almost recovered!"

He didn't want to take the initiative to give people facial soap. It was too embarrassing.

"That's because you didn't pay attention. Some of your current classmates must have acne!"

Ye Xinran had no intention of letting him go.

She speculated that the so-called acne should be pimples.

Many of the students in the academy are in their youth, so it is normal for some of them to have acne.

Apart from those young ladies from wealthy families, isn’t this also a good entry point?

"Sister, you..." Lu Changqing didn't know how to refuse.

Ye Xinran immediately said: "Don't worry, my facial soap is definitely easy to use. It won't embarrass you!"

Lu Changqing was speechless.

He is not afraid of losing face.

He is not familiar with those people at all!

...

Autumn is getting stronger.

The autumn planting in the village is slowly coming to an end.

This year, thanks to the thresher made by the Xiao family, all the villagers completed all the work of autumn harvest and autumn planting before the weather got cold.

The taxes have been paid.

There is now leftover grain in the warehouse and newly planted seeds in the fields.

Everyone feels much more at ease than in previous years.

What we need to do now is to repair farm tools, mend the roof, prepare more firewood and dried vegetables while the weather is good, and prepare winter clothes...

If they have some spare time, they will start looking for some work outside to supplement the family income.

When the village head told everyone that the Xiao family was going to build a workshop, everyone became excited.

"Uncle Lizheng, I'm signing up!"

"And I!"

"Our whole family can do it. Shuanzi, Shuanzi and his mother, the three of us!"

Everyone rushed to sign up, and soon more than 40 men, more than 10 women, and six children signed up.

The village head divided them into groups and told them to come to the Xiao family to work after breakfast the next morning.

Ye Xinran and several bricklayers and carpenters first studied the distribution of the workshop rooms on the open space.

The next day, everyone arrived at the open space early as expected.

Xiao Huaian waited for the last person to receive their work badge before joining the team digging the foundation.

No one asked what the workshop was used for.

Just focus on work.

But as I was working on it, I noticed something strange.

The house they built this time was different from the ones they had built before.

There is no bedroom or anteroom in the house, there is a big stove right inside.

The walls of the room are slanted, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. According to the drawings, many ventilation holes should be left.

"This room is weird, is it used for cooking?"

Some villagers became curious about the appearance of the workshop on the drawing.

"Look at this big stove. Who uses such a big pot to cook?" someone objected.

Erzhu's father was the foreman. When he saw everyone was discussing, he immediately interrupted them.

"Okay, what it's used for is none of our concern! Now hurry up and mark this piece for me first."

People started to get busy again.

With the experience of building a house before, everyone cooperated very well this time.

Five days later, the house began to take shape.

From a long distance, you can see the roof, which is taller than that of ordinary houses, and the big chimney standing on the roof.

Everyone in the village, young and old, became curious.

When I have nothing to do, I come over here to see what's going on.

“Uncle Zhang, you traveled far when you were young, have you ever seen a house like this?”

someone asked.

"I haven't seen it." Uncle Zhang stared with cloudy eyes and shook his head, "I really haven't seen it."

“This house is really weird.”

"Yes!"

People were whispering.

"Such a large chimney looks like it would take a lot of firewood to burn."

"There is still some open space around the house. I heard they are going to use it to grow vegetables!"

Everyone was puzzled,

Seeing Ye Xinran and the children coming from afar, everyone gathered around.

"Madam Ye, the house we built this time is not for living, right?"

"What is this for?"

Seeing that everyone was curious, Ye Xinran explained, "It's used to make facial soap."

"Face soap? Can't you just use water to wash your face? Why do you need soap?"

Old Mrs. Zhang has been washing her face all her life and has never used that thing.

Other villagers also echoed: "Is anyone buying this? We spent so much money to build the house, we must not lose it."

"Yes, yes!"

Everyone felt sorry for Ye Xinran.

At this time, Ye Xinran also plans to let everyone know what to do in the future.

She took out a bar of facial soap that she used from the space.

This facial soap was one she bought before, and it wasn't much different from what she was going to make now.

"Grandma, this is the soap I'm going to make for washing your face. Smell it. Does it smell good?"

Old Lady Zhang looked at the pink and smooth soap in front of her but didn't dare to reach out. She just sniffed Ye Xinran's hand and nodded immediately: "It smells good, it smells good! What kind of flower is this?"

“This is osmanthus!”

Ye Xinran replied, "We can also make other scents in the future."

"Zhu Zi, your home is nearby, can you go back and fetch me a basin of water?"

Ye Xinran stood up and said to Erzhu who was standing in the crowd.
