Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 464 A golden lump grew in the ground

Oh my god, without me noticing, a gold nugget has grown in the ground. I must take good care of it.

Also, I must plant more loofahs next year. I must plant this thicker variety of loofah, which produces more juice. Oh, why didn't I plant so few this year? What a mistake.

Ever since the puddle next door was renovated, our own vegetables have been affected, and now we grow fewer vegetables on the farm.

Moreover, in order to dye the wool yarn, they planted more vegetables that can be dyed, so they planted even less loofah that cannot be dyed. Oh, I lost a lot of money. Tian Changshui regretted it deeply.

Hua Lei was not very clear about Tian Changshui's regret, but even if the number of loofahs planted on the farm was small, the twenty or so acres of loofah field was still enough for her to eat.

Moreover, Hualei flipped through the book and used the loofah thoroughly from head to toe. After draining the loofah pure water from the loofah, Hualei began to make ointment for removing acne and facial sores.

Mash the young loofah leaves and flowers, add pearl powder and other ingredients, mix them in a certain proportion, and the ointment is ready. Store it in a sealed container and take it out whenever you need it. It is very convenient.

After all the loofahs are picked, the flower buds start to extract loofah water to make loofah facial cleanser, so that nothing is wasted.

The effect of loofah water on whitening, removing dirt and freckles is very good. You can use loofah water to make facial cleanser. There is also a trick to get loofah water, which is to cut the loofah vine from the root, leaving about half a meter.

Find a pottery jar with a small mouth and a big belly, insert the cut loofah vine with wounds into the mouth of the pottery jar, then cover it with a pottery lid and seal the mouth with a clean thick cotton cloth.

The loofah water that flows out in this way has no intrusive insects or dust, and is extremely pure. It is the best whitening and impurity-removing cosmetic, and it has no toxic side effects.

Use this loofah water to wash your face and take a bath every day, and the whitening and dirt removal effect is very good. Of course, taking a bath requires more loofah water, which is quite luxurious, and Hualei is definitely reluctant to try it.

Besides, she thought she was naturally beautiful, with fair skin and pretty face, so basic skin care was enough. Only those young ladies from wealthy families who were not beautiful enough needed to be more extravagant.

However, Hualei is not so desperate to make money. In order to make a steady profit, Hualei is reluctant to sell the original liquid directly.

So, she used the loofah vine essence for some further processing. She put the loofah essence into a ceramic pot and heated it over low heat. A quarter of an hour later, the loofah essence was ready.

Then filter it with clean gauze, and when it is slightly warm, pour in some milk, stir evenly, and let it cool. The facial cleanser is ready.

The finished facial cleanser is in a milky white paste. It can be used to wash your face and hands, and it has a very good effect in removing dirt and whitening.

Soon, the newly-made acne-removing magic cream and whitening and moisturizing beauty cleanser were put on the shelves of Yinghua Pavilion. Many wealthy young ladies sent Hualei a steady stream of silver.

So recently, Hualei has been counting silver coins, and her hands are about to cramp. However, even if her hands cramp, Hualei is happy to do it.

After making the loofah facial cleanser, Hualei felt that it was just one facial cleanser and the variety seemed a bit too monotonous. So, she started looking for other varieties.

After reading a lot of books, I found that there are many ways to make facial cleansers, but they require a lot of ingredients, and many of them are medicinal herbs.

Medicinal materials are relatively expensive here, so if you want to make facial cleansers, the cost performance is not high. You still need to find cheap and easy-to-find raw materials to make them, so as to achieve the goal of making huge profits. No, the purpose is to make money.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a way to make facial cleanser using winter melon.

Winter melons are available. There are plenty of them in the village. Just like loofahs, there are also 20 to 30 mu of land in Yuanying Village. Moreover, the price is cheap, only a few coins per pound. It is not very easy to sell. Although it is possible to make dried winter melon, the price is low. So Hualei decided to give it a try.

Pick fresh winter melon from the field, clean it, and peel off the green skin. Then cut it into pieces and remove the seeds. Put the melon pulp and winter melon slices into a stone mortar and mash them into a paste. Put it into a clay pot, add appropriate amount of water and wine, and cook the winter melon until it is soft.

Then filter the wax gourd juice with white gauze, put it back into the ceramic pot and cook on low heat. When bubbles appear in the wax gourd juice, add appropriate amount of honey and continue to simmer on low heat.

This process must be done over low heat. When the winter melon juice is boiled into a paste, the facial cleanser is ready. Divide it into small ceramic jars and you can use it.

Hualei tried it herself and found it very moisturizing and decontaminating, with good results. Therefore, as a partner of loofah facial cleanser, winter melon facial cleanser was put on sale in Yinghua Pavilion.

Of course, the name of the loofah facial cleanser is "Beauty" facial cleanser, and the name of the winter melon facial cleanser cannot be too bad. Hua Lei thought about it for a long time and finally decided to name the winter melon facial cleanser "Fairy" facial cleanser. After using it, you will be as beautiful as a fairy.

Hualei is getting more and more shameless now, but she is unaware of it. As long as she can make money, what's the harm in being thick-skinned? Don't you see that a penny can make a hero fail?

The peeled winter melon peel and flower buds are not wasted. After being cleaned, they are dried in the sun and made into winter melon tea. It can be brewed directly with boiling water or combined with lotus leaves to make lotus leaf winter melon tea, which is refreshing, degreasy and heat-relieving.

Seeing Hualei using winter melon, Auntie Song, who was helping, couldn't help but start making winter melon paste with winter melon. It is said that it can be used to relieve cough and moisturize the throat, and the effect is very good.

I saw Aunt Song clean the winter melon, peel the skin, remove the pulp and seeds inside, cut the winter melon into thin pieces, put it into a ceramic pot, and then put in malt sugar. She boiled it directly over high heat without adding water.

After boiling, turn to low heat and stir constantly to prevent sticking. When the winter melon juice becomes very thick, turn off the heat and let it cool, then put it in a ceramic jar and seal it for storage.

When eating, scoop a spoonful into a porcelain bowl and rinse with warm water. A cup of moist and healthy winter melon drink is ready. It is very good to eat with pastries and snacks.

However, the winter melon paste is mostly consumed by my family, and a small portion of it is sold in Hua Qianbian Shop for exchange.

There were too many winter melons growing on the farm, and many flower buds were picked. Aunt Song saw that there were still many winter melons on one side, so she decided to make some winter melon candies with them. During the Chinese New Year, she made some candies that were not sesame or pine nut candies, but she had never made winter melon candies.
