Chapter 4 Try making soap

In the blink of an eye, Kogura has been here for three days, lying in bed at night thinking about the future, the disaster is still two years away, and the Japanese devils have already hit Anyang. If you want to become strong quickly, you must first have money, and only when you have money can you organize your own team. Only with people can everyone listen to you and play a role when disaster strikes. Earn money first!

"Ogura, go to grind noodles with my mother in the morning." Mother said after breakfast. After cleaning up the wheat, his mother handed him a hook (the two ends of the flat pole were punched and tied with iron hooks), and the first time he saw this thing, Xiaocang was a little confused, and picked up two baskets of wheat and walked forward. Before he could get out of the door, he slipped off his shoulder, almost spilling the wheat.

"Why can't you make the hook bear, and you can walk steadily without grasping the hook and rope with both hands?"

It's okay to work all year round with this body, but I didn't get used to it for a while, and I groped for a while and picked it up. When I came to the ditch, I saw a mill nearly two people high on the canal. The water flow drives the impeller to rotate, and the upper grinding disc rotates through the transmission of the wooden shaft, and the wheat is poured into the round hole in the middle of the upper grinding disc, and the wheat can be crushed without stopping, and then the bran and flour are separated by a special sieve basket artificially.

I have to admire the wisdom of the ancestors, and I realized semi-mechanization without electricity and water.

"Ogura, you are here to watch the grinding noodles, and after grinding the three sides, call me over to sift the basket. I'll go and wash my clothes first. ”

After his mother left, Ogura looked at the water mill and was stunned, if you want to make money, can you start with hydroelectric power? After thinking about it for a while, I gave up, and there were no generators, wires, or lights, and now I am still poor and do not pay for such big projects.

After three sides, he went to call his mother, and when he went downstream, he saw his mother putting the ashes of plants and trees on her clothes and rubbing them, and after a while, she swung them up in the water and continued to knead them, and the canal was dyed gray...... Ogura's thought flashed, yes! Aren't soaps and soaps just short-term projects?

After grinding noodles and returning home, he plunged into the house to calculate, and the film reaction reaction was not difficult for Ogura, so he went out to find materials while calculating.

In the kitchen, I found half a jar of lard, half a bottle of sesame oil, a small bag of salt, dug a basket of grass and wood ashes at the bottom of the stove, and pounded it in the yard. After thinking about it, I picked some magnolia petals from outside the area, kneaded the juice and added it to the alkaline water. After a busy afternoon, I made a drawer-sized bar of soap and three bars of soap. The color and fragrance of the soap is similar to that of the previous life. Looking at the fruits of an afternoon's labor, it is indescribably refreshing!
