Traveling through the mountains and farming

Chapter 134 Women in Ancient and Modern Times Love Beauty

Lin Wan took out a few bottles of camellia water from the room, put them in a basket, and walked outside.

She first went to Uncle Li's house. She handed the three bottles of hydrosol to Aunt Li and two cousins ​​respectively, and explained to them in detail how to use them.

The three of them took the cute little bottle with surprise, opened it and smelled it, and immediately smiled and praised:

"This smells so good. Wan'er is really clever and skillful!"

"Yeah, it must be very useful!"

The more they looked at it, the more they felt that this pure dew was very valuable, and they could make a lot of money by selling it outside.

In the past, I never dared to imagine that I would be able to use such a delicate item to wipe my face. I didn’t expect that Lin Wan would be able to make such a good thing and send it to them as soon as possible.

They increasingly felt that marrying Lin Wan into the Li family was the wisest thing Zhang had ever done.

After reading it, Aunt Li handed the bottle back and said with an embarrassed look:

"Alas, an old woman like me will not join in the fun of such a precious thing."

Seeing that Aunt Li was very happy, but was a little embarrassed to accept it, Lin Wan smiled and took Aunt Li's hand and said:

"Grandma, this is not a precious thing. You have taken so much care of me every day. This is my little token of my appreciation. Just take it and use it. I will also send you facial cream, hair shampoo, and hand cream in the future. It will make you ten years younger."

Aunt Li laughed heartily at Lin Wan's words: "Hahaha, I dare not even think about being ten years younger. I'll be satisfied if I can be one or two years younger!"

"Mom, you have to believe in Lin Wan. Everything she makes is rare, useful, and delicious," said Chen Lian, who was always straightforward.

"Yes, of course you can." Luo Yu Niang next to her also echoed.

Aunt Li was so delighted by their conversation that she nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for Wan'er's goodies."

At this time, she changed the subject and said worriedly, "I heard that you encountered a python while picking soapberries yesterday?"

It was very late last night when she heard the news. She was so scared that she couldn't sleep well all night. She quickly asked her two daughters-in-law to find out what happened. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

"Great aunt, it was an accident yesterday, and Li Chongwu was with us. Don't worry, I will be more careful when going out in the future." Lin Wan hurriedly explained.

Aunt Li asked Luo Yu Niang to go into the house and bring over the soapberries. Yesterday, Li Changyi followed Luo Dashan into the mountains and came across a soapberry tree, from which he picked quite a few.

Soon Luo Yu Niang came over with a basket of soapberries and placed it in front of Lin Wan.

"Wan'er, take these back and remember to dry them in the sun for easier storage." Aunt Li said kindly.

When Lin Wan saw it, she hurriedly asked, "Grandma, where did you pick this? I want to pick it too."

Looking at such a large basket of soapberries, they must have found a soapberry tree full of fruits.

"Don't pick them. Take these back first. I'll ask your uncle to pick them for you if they come across them later."

"Okay, if you come across soapberries and soapberries in the future, pick some and save them, and I'll make shampoo for you."

Lin Wan didn't bother to be polite with them. She accepted it with a smile, thinking of sending some over when she made shampoo in the future.

Aunt Li smiled and replied, "That's great. Wan'er's stuff will definitely be useful."

Afterwards, they agreed to go to the camellia grove together after breakfast, and Lin Wan left Aunt Li's house carrying the basket of soapberries.

After she returned home, she dried the soapberries and started to prepare breakfast.

The next few days went as planned: she took Li Chongle with everyone to pick camellia fruits, and came back in the evening to make pure water with the flowers picked that day.

Li Ke was responsible for baking the bottles and jars that Lin Wan made at night, and also took time to look after the family's livestock and vegetable garden.

The days passed in this fulfilling way. After all the camellia fruits were picked, Lin Wan spent another whole day making many bottles of camellia and chrysanthemum hydrosols, some of which were repeatedly distilled into perfume.

Because she has been picking camellias and chrysanthemums recently, she has aroused the curiosity of many people. After learning that she is using flowers to make hydrosols for facial application, young ladies from various families have come to inquire about her and want to try it.

Lin Wan did not refuse and agreed to their request readily. Her original plan was to give each person a bottle.

To thank her for her generosity, many young ladies helped pick flowers, so that the flowers in Lin Wan's house piled up like a small mountain.

She even wondered if these people had mobilized their entire families to help go out and pick flowers.

I can't help but worry that there won't be many camellia fruits on this camellia tree next year.

This made her work overtime for another day to make the hydrosol, taking into account the shelf life of the hydrosol.

Lin Wan purified part of the hydrosol into perfume as much as possible, and then sealed the bottle tightly with white wax just like the hydrosol.

Fortunately, the weather has cooled down, otherwise she would have to worry more about preservation issues.

In addition to flowers, they all knew that Lin Wan liked soap beans, soapberries and the like, and they actually sent her a lot of them.

I heard that she didn't have enough clay to make pottery jars, so I dug up a lot of it and sent it to her.

They also thoughtfully sent over a lot of firewood for firing the pottery bottles.

Well, now Lin Wan no longer has to worry about not having raw materials to make various cleaning products at home.

You no longer have to worry about running out of clay and firewood at home.

Finally, after Lin Wan repeatedly expressed that they had enough, they stopped sending any more.

Recently, Li Ke has been squatting in front of the earthen kiln every day, constantly firing bottles and jars of various specifications that they make at night.

My sister-in-law also made all kinds of strange-shaped pottery for her, and she couldn't figure out what they were used for.

So during breakfast today, Lin Wan announced that today would be a day off, and everyone should do nothing and just relax.

Li Kele went crazy. She no longer had to guard the earthen kiln.

Although firing ceramic bottles is for storing pure dew and the like, this job is very meaningful, but the tedious process of lighting the fire, opening the kiln, sealing the kiln, and continuing to fire every day really makes people feel bored and tired.

"Finally, I can take a good rest!" Li Ke cheered.

Li Chongle reminded: "Then we still need to dry out the camellia fruits that we fermented at home. And the pile of firewood in the yard also needs to be put in order."

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if we do this a day later. You can do whatever you want. Let's make a new food tonight."

Lin Jing was very envious when he heard that his brothers and sisters were resting today. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Dr. Zhong beside him. He did not say that he also wanted to rest, but waited for Dr. Zhong to take the initiative to ask.

Doctor Zhong received the signal, but wanted to tease this little guy who was usually taciturn in front of him but cute and well-behaved in front of his sister, so he turned his head and went to the other direction to pick up the food.

Want to see when Lin Jing will talk to him.

The corners of Lin Jing's mouth drooped, and he looked aggrieved.

Lin Wan was watching from the side and wanted to plead for Lin Jing, but when she met Doctor Zhong's eyes, she knew he was teasing Lin Jing, so she refrained from speaking.

After finishing his meal, Dr. Zhong was about to get up and go home, without waiting for Lin Jing's request.

Looking at Lin Jing who was following him and preparing to go back together, Doctor Zhong finally couldn't help but smiled and said:

"I'll give you a day off too. Go play with your brothers and sisters."

"Thank you, Master. I will make up for today's lessons tomorrow." Lin Jing bowed, turned around and ran back to his brothers and sisters.

Doctor Zhong, who saw this scene, shook his head helplessly and said to himself, "Why do you still have two faces? You are not so lively and cheerful in front of me."
