Brother Cai was quite uncomfortable, but in fact it was not his fault, he had already settled some of them, but some of them sank down and became the bottom of society, all he wanted was to let these people live, but he didn't think much about it, pull them along, the things that Chi Qiu explained were very simple, if you worked, I will give you money, and the copper money given is actually not much, the population of three or four hundred in the town, those who go out, too small, and too old do not count, and those who are willing to contribute are hundreds of people, If you calculate it for about ten yuan per person, it's only one or two.

In fact, as long as Brother Cai uses some means to send Zhangtai's dividends, instead of sending them all at once, these people may not be so few, they are full for a day, and they don't care about eating bran in the future, many people will fall because they have no plan, that's all.

Chi Qiu's assignment task was very simple, many people completed it in an hour, the streets were much more tidy, people were not so bored because of their work, and the workshop began to take shape.

Everyone in the old town knew that Chi Qiu wanted to make Nan Soap, and when the cauldron was added up, an old man with a broken hand walked in: "Excuse me, are you planning to make Nan Soap?" ”

"Yes, master, will you?"

The old man was a little embarrassed: "Not really." ”

Ran Dazhuang, who built the stove, said: "Zhang Laosan, you won't ask anything. ”

"But I've been in the South Soap Workshop in Jiangnan, although I don't know the formula, but you are playing the piano and fooling around like this." Zhang Laosan was very unconvinced.

"You ......"

Chi Qiu hurriedly stopped: "Let the old master point and point, this person said that the Taoist is old again, and there is a treasure, the old master sat and said." ”

Zhang Laosan looked at Chi Qiu, and his words were comfortable: "I don't sit anymore, my hand is broken, and my leg is not broken." "A stubborn old man.

"Let me ask you, you have boiled such a big pot, what if the ratio is wrong? Isn't that all the pots broken? ”

It seems to make sense, not to mention that the formula has not yet been finalized, even if it is finalized, it must be eliminated.

"In addition, such a big pot, how long do you want to cool down, it's not four or five hours, how can it be cooled?"

This is very reasonable, and Chi Qiu is ashamed.

"Even if it's cold, how are you going to take it out? How to cut? ”

Chi Qiu rubbed his hands violently, and Ran Dazhuang was even more embarrassed, in fact, it was a simple truth.

Ai Bao'er went out to cook, and as soon as she entered the door with the food, she saw Chi Qiu standing there stupidly, and Ran Dazhuang didn't even dare to fart with his head down.

"What's wrong? Uncle Zhang, you're here. ”

"Uncle Zhang, what do you think should be done?"

"It's not appropriate for this workshop to be built here."

Chi Qiu actually knew that doing this in Ai Bao'er's yard was only an expedient measure, mainly to absorb experience so that he could determine what to do.

"Where's the right place?"

Zhang Laosan walked out of the house and pointed in the direction of the cold spring: "It should be over there, the downstream of the stream, when the time comes, build a few more small stoves, there is water there, you can also make some water wheels and cool it with water." ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Chi Qiu nodded desperately.

"But now there is no workshop there, only here." Ai Baoer helped to excuse herself.

"It's not simple, isn't it just to build a shed, Da Zhuang, you tell Erhu and Sanlin to cut down a few trees, and it will be built in the afternoon, you build a stove over there, and then call Fang Tie, I tell him how to make an iron trough."

A lot of things were arranged at once, and Ai Bao'er was a little distressed: "Why don't you eat first." ”

Zhang Laosan snorted: "I've eaten it, you can watch it." ”

Chi Qiu said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, people are iron rice and steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, or you can sit here for a while, we will call those people over, let's eat first, you can talk about how to make it by the way, what precautions will be taken, and then you will be full of food, and then give you on-the-spot guidance, okay?" ”

Zhang Laosan nodded, this will sit down.

Ran Dazhuang didn't hesitate, ran back to the entrance of the town, shouted a few times, and a few of the people named by Zhang Laosan came over.

Everyone got together, gossiping, and many ideas came out like water, many of which were unexpected by Chi Qiu.

In the afternoon, Ran Dazhuang set up a disposable small stove and went to the cold spring.

The blacksmith Fang Tie was instructed to make a square iron trough with four sides similar to a tofu factory, with handles on all four sides, so that as long as the hot oil is poured in, after cooling, remove the handles on the four sides, and the cutting is square, which can avoid a lot of useless work.

Erhu and Sanlin found a few more people to cut down trees, and it was an afternoon affair for them to build a shed.

Ran Dazhuang called his thirteen-year-old son Ran Xiaozhuang, built a few disposable small pools first, and then took his son to follow Zhang Laosan to the cold spring to build a new stove.

Ai Baoer borrowed a few small pots, first distributed the hot oil in the cauldron, only a part of the cauldron was left, Chi Qiu put caustic soda and other materials according to the proportion explored in advance, boiled a pot, scooped it out, and then burned a small pot in different proportions, and so on, the four proportions of the small pot were put in the pool to cool.

When it was almost cooled, Zhang Laosan came back to compare, tried again, and determined the most reasonable plan. ”

So in the afternoon, the whole street was doing laundry. South soap has become popular, and it is not a new item, but it is too expensive for the people of Old Town to use, and they do not believe that this tattered workshop can produce "South soap".

Compared with the brick-like soap, the soap distributed to each household is very small, although the letter will be doubtful, but each person has a copy, this kind of thing is very easy to verify, and soon everyone was surprised to find that although the quality of the soap in the hand is not good, but the effect is almost the same, it is really clean!

Chi Qiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the loss of this "magical" old man appeared, otherwise I am afraid that these things may not be done well if I am busy for seven or eight days, the key is that once I get it wrong, it is difficult to turn back many things.

In the evening, the shed, the stove, and the iron trough of the square iron are all good, and everyone tried to make another pot, and found some problems one after another, such as the location of the stove and the position of the water flow, and also found a carpenter, ready to make a few small water wheels.

The waterwheel has not yet been built, but it does not affect the cooling, and at ten o'clock in the night, everyone disperses.

The two returned to Li Yuan's small courtyard, and as soon as they entered the door, Ai Bao'er went to boil the kang and water.

Chi Qiu wanted to help, but was pressed on the bed by Ai Bao'er.

It was indeed a little tired, Ai Bao'er lit the fire, came back, squatted down in front of Chi Qiu, picked up his feet and put them on his legs and rubbed them gently: "Xianggong is tired, the slave family will give you a good rub of your feet, how about it?" ”

When there were only the two of them, the two of them called: "You are also tired, rest." ”

"The slave family will rub it for you, and the water will be boiled after a while, and we will all wash it, it smells of pigs."

After the two took a shower and lay on the bed, Ai Baoer asked, "Can this soap really make money?" It doesn't look as delicate as the South Soap, the South Soap is big, and it is printed with tweed, if the slave family buys it, unless it is particularly cheap, the slave family will choose the South Soap. ”

Chi Qiu pinched her softness: "Is it as smooth as you here?" ”

Ai Bao'er felt Chi Qiu's action turn red even after brushing it, and nodded shyly: "Don't touch it, the slave family can't stand it." ”

Chi Qiu smiled, stopped and said, "What you said is right, but you can't just think about this, but think about what to do?" Now that you've found these problems, what do we do? ”

Ai Bao'er thought for a while, and said frustratedly: "The slave family can't think of it." ”

"Actually, it's very simple, the south soap is big, one top two pieces of soap, but it sells for five silver quills, that is, fifty wen, then we cut the soap into the size of soap, buy twenty wen a piece, do you think someone buys it?"

"Oh, yes."

Chi Qiu's hand was not honest again, and continued: "The pattern is also simple, let the carpenter make a few wooden boards tomorrow, just carve some patterns, carve twelve wooden boards, and print the twelve zodiac signs on them, they are all soft when they are baked, and which one you want to print." ”

"Ahh The slave family is so stupid. Ai Baoer arched herself under the covers.

Seeing the little woman's shameful look, Chi Qiu couldn't help but be happy: "Actually, you're not stupid, it's just that you haven't gotten used to the idea of doing business. ”

"Well, the slave family knows." Ai Bao'er whispered: "Xianggong, don't touch it, the slave family can't stand it." ”

"I can't stand it, I have to bear it, who called you my wife?" Chi Qiu turned over with a smile......
