Chapter Seventy-One: Soap

After hearing Morey's descriptions of the living conditions on the continent of Wotan, Thor had already had the idea of contact with the continent on the other side of the ocean, and recently that the tribe had entered the development stage, and he felt the lack of materials and manpower, and always thought that it would be good if there was a trade route for him to buy something.

Now he has five hundred golden roses in his hand but can't spend them, which makes Thor very uncomfortable, and the idea of doing business grows out of control.

On the other hand, after the arrival of the pirates, Thor felt powerless in intelligence, and he knew nothing about the affairs of the other civilization continent, and he urgently needed to cultivate his eyes on the Wotan continent, even if it was fragmentary information, it was far more than the current two-eyed blacken, and he didn't even know if there would be Charles Vane's fleet tomorrow.

And the merchant is undoubtedly the best choice, which is convenient for covering the collection of intelligence, and can earn a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.

The captured dhow was operated by the dwarves and parked in a small fjord, and Palatine gave him a chart of the voyage to the continent of Votan, not only to Worms, but also to Châteauroux in southwest France.

The ship was there, the charts were there, the sailboat could be trained by Paladin, and the only thing missing was merchandise, and it was then that Thor remembered the thick fat left behind by the dragon whale that had stranded on the shore.

When he led people to the storage room and found a jar full of dragon whale fat, he found that the original white fat had solidified and turned into a terrible dark black, which looked as if it had rotted.

Thor was disappointed by this, he thought it wouldn't work, but his men inadvertently picked open the top piece of black skin, revealing the white, solid, and rotten fat underneath.

Thor was overjoyed, according to Morey, there was no such thing as soap on the continent of Wotan, at least not Flange, and dirty clothes were usually boiled in a pot with hot water, and then taken out to dry.

So Saul asked Kazibah to try his hand at making soap, and all he could remember was boiling the fat, then filtering the residue, letting the ashes sit and mixing the two, but he couldn't remember the exact ratio.

Originally, he just wanted Kazba to experiment slowly, but he didn't expect him to come up with a finished product so quickly.

"How many pieces did you make?" Sol asked, weighing the square soap in his hand, to Diana beside him.

Diana's eyes drifted over Kaziba and told Saul softly: "This is the only one that I made, and Mr. Kaziba originally wanted to use it as an experiment, but I didn't expect the first match to be successful." ”

"It's incredible. Thor sighed as luck would have it, if he had to adjust the ratio of plant ash and fat through trial and error, it would not only take time, but he would probably have to consume a lot of dragon whale fat.

"But this isn't a finished product, is it?" Thor pinched the soap in his hand again, and turned his head to look at the old witch doctor Kazbah, the soap was still slightly soft to the touch, not very solid, like half-dried wet earth.

"Yes, master—ahem—" said Kazibah with a cough, the corners of his mouth pulled up ugly, revealing a mutilated, blackened and yellowish tooth:

"The soap you're talking about needs to be cooled and dried for a month before it can really be made......"

Thor nodded, handed Diana back the soap that had begun to soften in his hand, and walked over to the cauldron that was boiling, and the Thorath, stirring the sticks, hurriedly wanted to put down his work and salute Thor.

"No, you're busy, I'll just take a look. Thor waved his hand to stop the people's movements, and he looked into the pot, only to see two streams of liquid, one milky yellow, very viscous and greasy, and the other like burnt yellow water, which was stirred by a wooden stick, and constantly fused together to form something like milky white cream.

"How long do you have to stir like this?" Thor looked at for a moment, then turned his head to ask Kazibah, who was following him.

The old witch doctor habitually bent down, tugged at his wrinkled cheeks, and replied in a low voice:

"At least five hours, master—"

"How many bars of soap can you make in this pot?"

"About four or five dollars. Kaziba replied respectfully.

Thor turned to Diana again and asked, "How much fat do dragon whales have?"

Since there is only one agricultural bureau under his government organization, it is responsible for almost all the affairs of the tribe, and the storage and management of materials is the most important.

Saul couldn't help but admire this woman who seemed gentle and weak on the outside, but was very strong and capable on the inside. Today, Diana is like the great butler of all the Soths, taking care of the affairs of the whole world, sometimes busier than Morey.

Diana gently pulled a handful of her hair back, and when she heard Thor ask about business, she showed a serious expression, and after a moment of thought, she replied clearly:

"Lord Thor, the dragon whale we caught harvested about 7 tons of fat, and due to the long storage time, nearly half of it was broken, and only about 4 tons remained. ”

"How many bars of soap can you make?"

Diana looked at Kaziba, the old witch doctor had already told her the ratio of each piece of soap, and each piece of soap used about 500 grams of fat, so the remaining fat should be enough to make it......

Diana thought for a moment and whispered, "You can still make about 7,000 pieces of soap, Lord Thor." ”

Nodding, Thor thought with a frown.

Five hours, a full half a day, can make almost 5 pieces, this is not counting the time of boiling, filtering, and standing the ash water of plants and trees, plus it will be dried for a month after it is done to really make a piece of soap.

It seems that 7,000 bars of soap will have to be made for a long time, and there is still no good way to store fat in the tribe, and perhaps the amount of soap produced in the end will be less than 7,000 bars over time.

Sighing, Thor understood that soap wasn't that easy to make, but it was still profitable.

According to Morey's description, if the soap can really achieve the effect that Saul said, it will definitely sell well on the continent of Wotan.

"Even if a piece of soap sells three silver roses, someone will buy them, and the nobles will sell them five, and ten will be in short supply!" Morey told Thor with confidence, pinching his beard.

"If you sell 5 silver roses at a time, 7,000 is 35,000 silver roses...... That's 1,750 golden roses!"

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked that the fat on the body of a single dragon whale can be sold for nearly 2,000 golden roses made into soap, which is already four times the treasure that Toby and they have obtained at the risk of their lives.

And there must be countless such dragon whales in the sea, during this time at the cliff corner, Thor also found that from time to time there will be such behemoths swimming from the sea, he believes that there will be no shortage of dragon whales in the deep sea.

"Tsk, a whale is worth two thousand gold coins alone, ten, twenty, a hundred......" As if seeing mountains of gold piled up in front of him, Thor couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Damn, is this forcing me to develop the whaling industry?",
