Chapter 81: Li Zhan Starts a Business
(I'm about to leave Zhuqiao Village, and I will enter Chang'an later, and there will be more conflicts, please support me...!) )
The night is getting dark... The time came to the early morning of Datang.
Li Zhan was already asleep at this time, but when Li Zhan was asleep, Yang Qiao'er on the side quietly got up from Li Zhan's side and walked out of the room cautiously.
However, just after Yang Qiao'er walked out of the room, Li Zhan's eyes opened suddenly.
It's just that Li Zhan's eyes opened, but he didn't debunk Yang Qiao'er, sighed slightly, and Li Zhan closed his eyes again.
I saw Yang Qiaoer lightly, walked out of the courtyard of the Li family, and then learned a few bird calls outside, followed by a figure, I don't know where it flew out, after seeing Yang Qiaoer, the figure bowed his head.
Yang Qiao'er avoided her body slightly and said softly: "Don't worship... The three hundred guan have been placed in the old place, you all take them, but be careful. ”
"It's... Recently, you also have to worry that this Li Gongzi has offended the Cui family, and that Cui Shouzheng has now united with his second uncle Cui Yu to deal with Li Gongzi together. ”
After listening to the figure's words, Yang Qiao'er frowned slightly and said, "I'll give you an order, that is, no matter what, you must protect my Li Lang, even if I have something, I can't let him have anything." ”
"This...!" The figure was slightly stunned, but finally nodded and said, "Order...!" ”
Soon, the figure flipped over and disappeared in an instant.
followed Yang Qiao'er to go back cautiously again, but after Yang Qiao'er went back, a small figure yawned and said: "Even if you have a conscience, if one of you two groups dares to be unfavorable to Gongzi, don't blame me for playing with you." ”
After speaking, the little figure revealed his face, it was none other than Li Yi, the leftover son of the dog.
No one would have thought that although this dog leftover has no kung fu, but his ears are very smart, in addition to ears and nose, in response to his previous nickname dog leftover, with a dog nose, as long as it is a human smell, dog leftovers can remember as long as they smell one side.
So in the matter of the Li family's courtyard, no one can escape his nose and ears.
Nothing to say all night... When he got up the next day, Li Zhan was going to start a business, originally Li Zhan didn't want to start a business, after all, Li Zhan just wanted to be a rich man, but what happened in the past two days reminded Li Zhan that it was useless to blindly retreat, and you could only be thought of as a waste.
Take the Cui family as an example, he didn't provoke the other party at all, it was the Cheng family who provoked him, but the Cui family didn't say this to you, he just wanted to kill you, squeeze you to death, play you to death, and use that kind of lofty posture.
He used his strength to teach the Cui family a lesson with the prince, but the Cui family not only did not regret it, but directly confronted the royal family, and then he didn't help but help the royal family, and hit the Cui family hard.
Okay, now it's time to make an endless fight with the Cui family, and the other party actually played the killing ruthlessly, Li Zhan didn't expect that it was the Cui family who was killing him, but there was no impermeable strength in the world, and the news finally came, earlier than Li Chengqian.
In fact, it is still bullying weak people, why doesn't the other party dare to fight to the death with the royal family, dare to fight with the Cheng family, and dare to bully themselves?
It's not that I'm a bully.
Li Zhan didn't want to be bullied, so Li Zhan wanted to learn from someone, who... Hehe, Fan Xian's mother, Ye Qingmei, single-handedly established the largest chamber of commerce, traded "invented" glass, soap and other things, and became the richest businessman.
Li Zhan also wants to do this, however, Li Zhan will only learn from the first half of Ye Qingmei, and will not learn from Ye Qingmei to set up the inspection institute and set up a sailor, fantasizing that all beings are equal, and erecting a monument at the gate of the inspection institute, "I hope that the people of Qingguo can become unruly people." Do not give in when you are mistreated by others, and not be frustrated when you are attacked by evil; If there is something wrong, do not fear the heart of correction; Don't flatter jackals... I hope that every citizen of Gyeongkook can become a king; can become the only king who rules over the lords called "themselves".
Li Zhan believes that in ancient times, it was not suitable for everyone to be equal, and the people's wisdom had not been developed, and they had been enslaved for hundreds of thousands of years, so how could everyone be equal, and even what kind of constitutional monarchy, Li Zhan felt unrealistic.
There is a reason why the imperial power has lasted for so many years, and it is absolutely impossible to completely change it by relying on Li Zhan in just a few decades.
So Li Zhan wants to become the richest businessman to protect himself, but he has no illusions about changing anything.

"Brother... Something bought for you. ”
As soon as Li Zhan got up, Li Sheng, Zhang Wen, and Zhang Liang pushed a wheelbarrow and walked over, piling pieces of lard on top of the wheelbarrow.
At this time, Li Zhan laughed and said, "Great... I'm going to show you something good today. ”
"What's so nice about lard?" Yang Qiao'er pinched her little nose and asked.
"Hey...!" Li Zhan walked to the front of the wheelbarrow and looked at the lard and said, "Soap, something that can make your skin more supple and fragrant." ”
"Huh...?" Li Zhan's words, the people present didn't believe it.
However, soon Li Zhan would show a different miracle to the people present, Li Zhan asked a few people to cut the fat of the pig into small pieces, put it in a pot and add a little water, and then heat it to refine the lard.
The refined lard is then cooled and placed in a jar ready for use.
Melt the lard in a pot on the stove and cool to between 37°C-51°C.
Then slowly add the caustic soda to the kettle and stir well until it all melts. Allow the lye mixture to cool to between 37°C-51°C.
Then pour the lye mixture into the melted lard, stirring and making sure not to spill when pouring. Stirring looks a bit like thin custard. If you stir with a wooden spoon, it may take about 5 minutes until the traces of stirring can remain for 15 minutes. If you want the soap to have a scent, then you can add perfume.
Pour the soap into the prepared mold. You can use a spatula to scrape all the soap out of the pan and smooth the top of the mold.
Wrap your mold in an old towel and leave it in a safe place for two to three days. Once your soap is hardened, you can carefully remove it from the mold and cut it into strips.
Place in a cool place for a few weeks to allow the saponification process to complete, every few days or whenever you remember to turn the soaps and let them dry evenly.
Seeing this, someone will definitely ask, hey... The author, the head was kicked by a donkey, this is the Tang Dynasty, where to get caustic soda and make it into a lye mixture.
That's right, caustic soda really doesn't have it, so you have to replace it with something, and then the secret of the crossing, what to replace, hehe... Grass ash, someone asks, what is plant ash.
It's weeds, trees, burnt ashes.
As long as you first filter the plant ash to filter out large pieces of black charcoal, as well as stones and other debris. Then take 180g of plant ash and 380g of water to soak, and stir well. Then pour the plant ash solution into a container and boil, and leave it for another 1 night to get more than 100g of lye.
With this ash lye, the soap is ready.

Chapter 82 Soap and Soap
"It smells so good... It really smells so good...! ”
Before the soap was finished, the scent of the oil residue wafted out first, and the aroma soon filled the entire courtyard.
This lard residue is the favorite thing of the countrymen, and it is particularly fragrant.
As soon as the fragrance of oil residue came out, the little ones around the Li family were immediately hooked out, and a large group of children just leaned on the door frame of the Li family, swallowing saliva and looking at the cauldron with oil residue in the courtyard of the Li family.
However, even if these children are drooling greedily, without Li Zhan's order, they will never dare to step into the door of the Li family, this is the social system.
What's even funnier is that Li Yi, who was supposed to be responsible for stopping the children and not allowing the children to gather at the door, had no action, why...?
Because Li Yi, this guy was also salivating at this time, looking at the oil residue in the pot for 3,000 feet.
"Fish...!"
Li Zhan let go, Li Sheng immediately picked up a big fence and fished out the oil residue in the cauldron, and then put it into a big bamboo basket next to him, Li Zhan didn't want the oil residue.
However, as soon as the oil residue entered the bamboo basket, Li Qian, the little girl, took the lead in grabbing it, followed by Li Qian, Zhang Wen, Zhang Liang and others also ate unceremoniously.
Li Sheng, who was still fishing, shouted speechlessly: "Slow down, wait for me... Oops...! ”
Li Zhan looked at this scene and smiled slightly, it was really similar to when he was a child, but after Li Zhan glanced at the children leaning against the door, Li Zhan said, "Put the bamboo basket at the door." ”
Then he shouted to Li Yi over there: "Li Yi, you are responsible for distribution." ”
"Hey...!" Li Yi grinned.
After a while, after the oil residue of a bamboo basket was carried to the door, the children all cheered, and Li Yi also shouted with a smile: "I know how to laugh, I don't know thank you." ”
"Thank you, Childe...!" A group of children finally knew how to bow to Li Zhan.
Li Zhan waved his hand, and while the children were happily eating the oil residue in their hands, Li Zhan led the others to continue making soap.
The process of putting the soap into the molds has been pushed to the molds, which Li Zhan asked his father to make, so that as long as they are placed in a cool place for seven or eight days, the soap will be fine.
This time, Li Zhan made a total of 300 pieces of soap and 100 pieces of soap.
Li Zhan believed that once he pushed out these soaps and soaps, it would definitely cause a shock in Chang'an, because at this time, the Tang Dynasty, ordinary poor people, were still washing clothes with plant ash.
Later, a plant called soap leaf was discovered, which can be used as soap after being crushed.
So the nobles in general, they don't wear washed clothes, why ... Because they could not be washed, the nobles were reluctant to wear clothes that had been washed with plant and wood ash.
Therefore, Li Zhan's soap hits the low-end market of Datang, the cost of a piece of soap is about half a penny, Li Zhan sells it for three yuan a piece, and two yuan for five yuan, Li Zhan knows that he will definitely send it.
Soap is used for bathing, washing face, at this time the Tang Dynasty already had bath beans, however, bath beans were a special product for the court at that time, and ordinary people did not use them.
The general rich and noble use a pancreatic thing to bathe, the principle of making pancreas is actually similar to the principle of soap making today, they use a chemical reaction, fat and alkali to form fatty acid sodium and glycerol, soap is produced. But it's a bit disgusting to talk about how pancreas are actually made.
But disgusting is also a luxury that only the rich can use.
A piece of pancreas plus porch, spices, etc... The asking price is 100 Wen, which poor family is crazy and will buy this 100 Wen to bathe and wash his face, but Li Zhan's soap is different, the cost of soap is about half a penny, and the cost of soap is actually not high, only two Wen.
The reason for the high two pennies is that the flower juice must be steamed and poured into the soap to have soap.
Li Zhan's soap and soap business is actually a bit like a business without capital, the lard is really something that no one wants, Li Zhan only needs to take out a hundred Wen, not to mention lard, all the pigs in the water are his own.
Because pork is cheap meat, not only the magnates of the Tang Dynasty think so, but also the people, so Li Zhan's soap, he will pay his personal salary at most.
After getting everything right, Li Zhan looked at the people in his family and smiled: "Give me seven days, and after seven days, I will give you a miracle." ”
After speaking, Li Zhan left with a smile, leaving a group of stunned faces.
