Chapter 131: Rose Soap
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard a commotion coming from inside. Ye Ling saw a group of people gathered together as if they were killing two pigs.
Ye Ling didn’t look at it for long and walked straight to her rented house. After unlocking the door, she moved a chair to the middle of the courtyard.
There was a well at the back of the courtyard. Ye Ling went to fetch a bucket of water.
After boiling the water, Ye Ling poured the processed cocoons she bought from the black market into the pot and boiled them. The boiled cocoons were then poured into the soda water and stirred to melt.
After that, Ye Ling took out the rose petals that had been soaked in olive oil.
When she opened the ceramic jar, she could still smell the rich fragrance of roses.
Ye Ling poured rose oil, coconut oil, palm oil, and rosehip oil together in a certain ratio, then added silk soda water and stirred. Finally, Ye Ling poured the viscous liquid into a rectangular wooden mold.
She even sprinkled some dried rose crumbs on the top as decoration.
After doing all this, Ye Ling placed the mold in a cool and dry place in the room. The next time she came, she could remove the mold and cut the rose soap.
It was also Ye Ling’s first time making rose soap, but fortunately, the process wasn’t complicated.
Since these silk rose soaps were prepared for Sun Li’s family and Aunt Hua’s family, she used the best materials. The final product would be much better than the ordinary soaps sold on the market.
After making the rose silk soap, Ye Ling also made a jar of ointment for treating burns. The color of the ointment was similar to that of pig fat, but it was much harder. When using it, she scooped out a spoonful and melted it in her palm, then applied it to the burned area.
Ye Ling put away the ointment and the tools in the backyard.
She had prepared a lot of commonly used tools. If she wanted to make something in the future, she could just come here directly. It was quite convenient.
After locking the door, Ye Ling was about to leave when she heard Master Bail s voice from a short distance away. “Don’t you want these pig innards? Then take it to the town and sell it to the butcher.”
Ye Ling heard Master Bai’s words and walked over.
When everyone saw Ye Ling coming over, they didn’t say anything for a moment. They curiously sized up Ye Ling, who was wrapped up tightly from head to toe.
Ye Ling pointed at the pig innards on the huge wooden chopping board.
Master Bai stroked his beard and quickly understood what Ye Ling meant. “You want to buy it?”
Ye Ling nodded.
“How many catties do you want to buy?”
Ye Ling thought for a moment and decided to buy 15 catties. She wouldn’t be able to carry too much.
Master Bai calculated the price with Ye Ling. Since the pig was raised by him, the price was much cheaper than outside.
In this era, pig innards were much cheaper than pork. For ordinary people, pig innards were difficult to handle and not easy to make delicious. The poor would not spend money to buy them, and the rich would not like to eat them. Therefore, pig innards were not very popular in the meat market.
“I’ll take the pig’s lungs.” Master Bai said. “But there’s no pig’s lungs in the 15 catties of pig innards.”
Ye Ling nodded, indicating that it was alright.
After Ye Ling bought 15 catties of pig innards, the butcher prepared to send the rest of the pig innards to the butcher. When they were cleaning up the pig innards, someone asked,” Master Bai, do you need me to buy some pig lungs?”
“No need, these are enough. Just go to the medical shop and help me buy some figs and ladybell.”
Hearing their conversation, Ye Ling’s eyes flickered.
If the pig’s lungs were put together with ingredients such as figs and ladybells, it would be a prescription and recipe for nourishing qi and nourishing the lungs. It would also have the effect of treating hemoptysis.
Could it be that Master Bai had a patient with lung problems at home?
Master Bai spoke with great vigor. His granddaughter was so young, and there was naturally no problem with her body. It should be someone else.
Although she had analyzed the situation, Ye Ling didn’t take it to heart. After all, this was Master Bai’s family matter and had nothing to do with her.
Ye Ling carried a large bag of pig innards back to the Wan family.
Sun Li was surprised to see Ye Ling return with a bag of pig innards.” Lingling, do you like pig innards?” If you like it, I’ll ask Wan Hai to buy some when someone in the village kills pigs.”
Ye Ling smiled and shook her head.” I just saw some cheap pig innards in town. I’m going to make them into braised pig innards.”
Sun Li’s eyes lit up. Thinking of Ye Ling’s culinary skills, she was immediately curious.” Then, doesn’t that mean we have to prepare a large amount of marinade and spices?” she asked..
