Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 828

Chapter 828: Beauty Soap
Since the kitchen had not been used for several days, there were several spider webs in the corners of the kitchen. So she cleaned them up with a broom and wiped the kitchen table and windows with a damp cloth.

Then, she checked the ingredients in the kitchen. Seeing that everything was still in good condition, she filled the jars with ingredients from her space.

She was not worried about causing suspicions because Li Lingyun already knew that she and her husband often went to the mountains to collect staple food and buy stuff from the black market. So, if she fills the jar, she doesn’t need to explain where the food comes from.

When she finished and walked to the front yard, Li Chenze had already returned to his home, leaving only Li Chenmo packing his tools.

Li Chenmo saw his wife and asked, “Wife, have you finished cleaning the kitchen?”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Husband, I’m done. Why did your eldest brother leave so quickly?”

“Well, my sister-in-law still can’t do heavy work. So, he needs to go back,” Li Chenmo said.

“Then we should also go back,” Lu Jueyu said.

After returning, Li Chenmo went to measure the weight of the pigs, while Lu Jueyu entered her space to get the materials needed to make bar soap and whitening cream.

After getting the required materials, she left the space and came to the balcony. Although the villagers cannot see inside the wall, the scent of the whitening cream and soap will be blown towards the village by the wind. This way, they can smell the fragrance.

Lu Jueyu began to prepare the soap ingredients according to the recipe bought from the space store. This is not her first time making handmade soap, and she is quite skilled at it.

When the villagers came back from the foothills, they smelled a fruity aroma coming from Li Chenmo’s house. Out of curiosity, they followed the road past his house to see what was going on.

Because Lu Jueyu wanted others to know what she was doing, she did not lock the door but opened one of the doors. So, when the aunts saw the door open, one of them took a sneak peek and found that Lu Jueyu was stirring something in a big jar.

Unable to restrain her curiosity, she knocked on the door and shouted, “Jueyu, what are you doing? It smells so good.”

When Lu Jueyu heard this, a smile appeared on her face. She turned around and said, “Auntie, please come in. I was making soap.”

At her invitation, the aunt finally entered the house and looked around curiously. Everyone knows how big Li Chenmo’s vegetable garden is. But today, for the first time, they were able to take a closer look.

Seeing that Lu Jueyu didn’t mind her entering the house, the aunt and children walked into the front yard curiously.

Although children are very naughty and touch whatever they like, no one dares to touch the fruits and vegetables in the garden at will. Not only because they were afraid of destroying the plants, but because they were afraid of Li Chenmo.

When they got closer, they finally noticed a fruity aroma coming from the large jar in front of Lu Jue Yu.

Taking a closer look, an aunt asked, “Jueyu, what is this? Are you brewing a new batch of fruit wine?”

Lu Jueyu smiled when she heard this and said, “Auntie, this is not fruit wine, but soap. I am using a fruit extract, medicinal herbs, and soapwort grass to make this.”

Looking at the beautiful blue liquid in the jar, another aunt asked, “Jueyu, is this safe to use? Isn’t soapwort only used to wash pans and pots.”

“Of course, Auntie. This soap is not only safe, but also has great benefits in reducing acne and whitening the skin. I call it beauty soap,” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

Hearing this, most people didn’t believe her. When Lu Jueyu saw this, she didn’t explain any more and let them see how she made soap.

Most of them were watching her, trying to learn. But when they came, the important step of mixing had already been completed, so all they saw was Lu Jueyu mixing milky white liquid soap with fruit flower oil or some natural pigments.

Afterwards, they saw how she poured them into molds and, after hardening, combined them into one. When finished, she closed the mold and set it aside.

Seeing this, a young woman asked, “Sister-in-law, is the soap finished?”

“Well, you need to wait about twenty-four hours, or until it hardens, before you can cut it into smaller pieces for daily use,” Lu Jueyu explained.

Although they didn’t understand, they felt bored and left one after another. They thought they would learn something, but after watching her for so long, all they saw was her playing with colors, nothing interesting, just a waste of time.

After they left, Lu Jueyu locked the door. Now that her goal had been achieved, she had no intention of letting anyone enter her home uninvited.

Not long after everything was put into the space, Li Chenmo came over and asked, “Wife, I have something urgent to attend to and need to go to the neighboring village.”

“Husband, what’s the matter?” she asked.

“Xiao He is injured, but I don’t know his current condition. So, I plan to go there to see the situation myself.”

Knowing that her husband must leave immediately, Lu Jueyu took out a small package from her space and said, “Husband, this is the spiritual herbs powder. Carry it with you, just in case.”

Li Chenmo did not refuse and took the package. After putting it in his pocket, he said, “I will come back when the matter is resolved. Lock the door and wait for me.”

“Okay, be careful on the road.”

Before leaving, Li Chenmo leaned closer to his wife and kissed her forehead gently.
