"Ruolan, the soap this time is very well made. Both the color and the smell are very good!"
Lin Xu praised while washing his hands with soap.
"Haha, how can I have this ability? In fact, it was Xiaoqing who made it."
Ruolan said with a smile.
"Did Xiaoqing make it?"
Lin Xu was very surprised!
Xiaoqing is Ruolan's distant cousin. She is a poor child! In the past few years, everyone in her family has died of illness one after another, leaving her alone. This summer, there was another flood, and all the crops in the fields were flooded.
If he dies, there will be no harvest, and he can't even pay taxes.
Coincidentally, Lin Xu saw that Ruolan was working too hard to cook every day, so he wanted to find a full-time cook.
After his father-in-law learned about his idea, he recommended Xiaoqing to him.
Lin Xu would naturally not have any objections to his daughter-in-law's cousin, who was also his sister-in-law.
Soon, Xiaoqing came to his house and started working as a cook.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Lin Xu got to know Xiaoqing very well.
This is a girl who is thin, shy, doesn't talk much, and always smiles lightly when she sees people. As long as there is nothing to do, she stays at home all day long, tidying up, cooking, etc., and is not very willing.
When interacting with outsiders, I am very introverted and even a little socially anxious.
However, like Ruolan, she is also a girl with good understanding and learns things quickly. Lin Xu once made several of her specialty dishes, such as braised pork, boiled fish, Maoxuewang, and Kung Pao Chicken
Teach her such methods, and only need to do it once or twice each time, and she will almost learn it.
After gradual exploration and improvement, Xiaoqing’s cooking is now even more delicious than what she cooks herself!
However, Xiao Qing could make soap, and could even make osmanthus-scented soap with such a light smell, but he didn't know it.
Because he only taught Ruolan how to make soap, and then Ruolan selected smart and trustworthy girls to make them in the workshop on Xiaoyang Mountain. As for who Ruolan selected, he never asked.
Ruolan said with a smile: "Xiaoqing is very talented in cooking. If you teach her once or twice, she will learn it. I thought that there are many similarities between cooking and making soap, so I took her on a class
I went to Xiaoyang Mountain and taught her how to make soap. Anyway, she is my sister, so I can trust her."
"As a result, she learned it quickly, and that afternoon, she was able to make soap by herself."
"Then, I asked her to try making osmanthus-scented soap."
"Before, I also asked the female workers in the workshop to make osmanthus-scented soap, but the soaps they made were either too fragrant or too light, and I was always not satisfied."
"After Xiaoqing tried it several times, I was very satisfied with the osmanthus-scented soap she made, both in terms of smell and color, so I took a few pieces home to use!"
Lin Xu nodded repeatedly and praised: "Xiaoqing is indeed a very smart, perceptive, and attentive girl. It was obvious from the first time I taught her how to cook!"
"The official is right. Xiao Qing is indeed very understanding and attentive. In addition, Xiao Qing also has a very powerful ability!"
"Really? What ability?"
"She's very sensitive to smells!"
"oh?"
"In order to create soap with the best smell, we will add different amounts of spices when making soap. In fact, the difference between adjacent amounts is very small. Most people can't smell the difference at all, but Xiao Qing always smells it.
She can smell it. No matter what kind of spice she smells, she may not be able to name it, but as long as the amount is different, she can always smell it!"
