Chapter VII: Expansion (2)

Cao Xuan saw that Chen Hu was standing next to him, so he picked out a piece from it, and then put it on Chen Hu's hand.

"I've worked hard every day, and my clothes are so dirty, go and rub this thing to see if it works!"

Chen Hu is a real person, so he took off his shirt directly in front of everyone, asked people to bring water, soaked all his clothes in the water, and then used the yellow thing to rub the soiled place vigorously, and Chen Hu was surprised when he poked it.

"It's really rubbed off, big brother, what is this thing so magical, I used to want to wash off these dirty things, it took a lot of time, and I felt a little annoyed after a long time, so I don't often do laundry!"

Chen Hu said so magically, Feng Yun and the others couldn't help but come over to watch, Feng Yun glanced at Cao Xing, directly took Chen Hu's clothes, and looked for a dirty place, and after soaking in water, he scrubbed hard, and it really didn't work twice, and the dirt on it went directly from the clothes, and finally melted into the water.

The people around him were all amazed when they saw this scene, but Feng Yun's reaction was even greater, he looked at Cao Xing's face with surprise: "Big brother, how did you make this thing so magical, if you sell it in the market, it is estimated that you will make a lot of money again!" ”

Cao Xing smiled and didn't speak, in fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, people had not yet invented such a thing as soap, and when they washed clothes, they all went to the river to clean them.

Cao Xuan also saw that Chen Hu's clothes were very dirty that day, so he suddenly wanted to make soap, this process is to put it bluntly, it is a saponification reaction, and the soap made by Cao Xuan is not as strong as the soap cleaning ability of later generations, but in the face of today's era, I believe it should be enough.

Cao Xuan didn't say anything, he directly patted Feng Yun's shoulder and asked Feng Yun to go to the market tomorrow to recruit ten more people back.

However, Cao Xing also specially instructed that they recruited people not casually, Cao Xing listed several conditions for Fengyun, one is that he is about 15 years old, because only young people are motivated, it is best not to be born locally, and the social background is clean, and there is no contact with any big family and big business.

Feng Yun is so smart, he understood what Cao Xuan meant when he heard it, and agreed, and when he went out to sell wine the next day, he did it by the way, and in the evening, Feng Yun really brought back more than ten people for Cao Xing.

Although these more than ten people are tall, short, fat and thin, Cao Xuan can see the simple color on their faces, Fengyun said that most of these people are short-term workers who work for those big families, and their daily lives are miserable, he just went to walk around casually today, and after saying that, many people flocked to Cao Xing's house to work.

Cao Xing nodded, although this batch is new, they still take care of food and housing, and after completing their technical studies, they will be treated the same as Che Wu and others.

However, when Cao Xuan walked in front of the last person, his expression paused, his face was a little shocked, the last person turned out to be an uncle in his 30s, dressed a little sloppily, with some vicissitudes on his face, as if he had experienced something, and Cao Xing only felt that looking at this person had some familiar taste.

Feng Yun also whispered in Cao Xing's ear at this moment: "Big brother, I don't know if you remember, he is Liu Wan from the same village as us!" ”

Cao Xun quickly filtered the name in his mind, and finally evoked his distant memory, Cao Xing vaguely remembered that when he was young, his parents were still there, and there was indeed a young man named Liu Wan in the village, and this Liu Wan did have some ability, he learned the way of doing business at the age of 20, and often ran business for those big businessmen.

Liu Wan has some skills, so he has accumulated a lot of money in a few years.

But there was an accident in the past few years, that time the businessman, I don't know what Liu Wan thought, anyway, he brought all his wives and sons, but halfway through, a group of yellow turban thieves suddenly ran out, killed his wife and son, and robbed all the goods it carried.

Liu Wan didn't know which tendon was wrong at the time, he didn't take care of his wife and son, so he ran away alone, but after returning to the marginal line, everyone knew about his deeds, and everyone scolded him for being a guy who didn't have a seed.

And after those big businessmen learned about it, they would never hire him to run the business again, and from then on, Liu Wan became confused, and he only knew how to drink every day.

Fengyun found it in a corner of the market today, and this Liu Wan still took the initiative to apply to work in Cao Xing's home.

Everyone used to be from the same village, and they looked at this Liu Wan pitifully, so Feng Yun took him over.

However, this gave Cao Xuan a little headache, Cao Xuan asked Chen Hu to take the newly recruited more than ten people down first, teach them the most basic rules, and arrange a place for them to live, and then only Cao Xing Fengyun and Liu Wan were left in the middle room.

Cao Xuan asked Liu Wan to sit down, but Liu Wan nodded resignedly.

"Uncle Liu, I also sympathize with your plight, ants are still greedy for life, not to mention people, people are not saints and sages, I believe that you were just confused for a while, so you made a mistake, as for those who say irresponsible things to you, I don't care at all, compare your heart to heart, if you arrange your situation at that time on them, what kind of actions will they make? No one can say anything about this thing! ”

"Thank you, Cao Xian...... Landlord! ”

Looking at Liu Wan's current situation, it is indeed very pitiful, Cao Xuan couldn't help but sigh, and then said again: "Uncle Liu, I know that you also had the ability to do business when you were young, but I am also a small temple here, I don't raise idlers, can you restore your previous state, I don't ask for much good, I only ask you to stop living in chaos every day!" ”

"Don't worry, I have three Chinese New Year's Eve today, and there is no one around me who cares about me, and now I just want to find a guy to fill my stomach!"

Hearing Liu Wan say this, Cao Xuan nodded, he believed that Liu Wan would at least not be decadent.

Now that Cao Xuan has made such a thing as soap, then it should be processed in a big way, Cao Xuan directly pulled Fengyun and Chen Hu over first, and let them see the process of making soap, Fengyun is quite clever, just asked about the process, and there was a plan in his heart, Chen Hu was a little annoyed, after reading it, he scratched his ears and did not find the doorway, Cao Xuan patiently demonstrated it seven or eight times, and finally when Cao Xing couldn't bear it, Chen Hu finally learned.

Cao Xing divided the ten new arrivals into three groups again, and he guided four people alone, while Feng Yun and Chen Hu each took three people and taught them the process of making soap.

Cao Xing taught his four men how to make proportions, and the three most basic things to make soap were lard, water, and lime. Whatever it is, there must be no deviation.

Then it was Feng Yun, Feng Yun took three of his men and taught them how to mix and warm this thing, some skills, because the temperature of making soap is about 40 degrees, and now it is the Three Kingdoms period There is no alcohol lamp in later generations, let alone a thermometer, so the temperature is only to observe the liquid level, and also rely on their own feelings.

In fact, when Fengyun and their steps were completed, the soap had basically been formed, but it was just a big lump and a big lump, and Chen Hu took the three people under him to buy a template, cut off the lump of soap bit by bit, and standardize it.

Just three days later, the first batch of soap made by Cao Xing was successfully produced.

Cao Xing's preliminary experiment, the effect is okay, there are about 500 pieces of soap here, ancient China lived a small peasant economy of men and women weaving, men worked outside, and women were in charge of all the big and small affairs of the family.

Washing clothes is even more inevitable, so Cao Xuan believes that the advent of soap will definitely be very popular, but because it is the first time to sell, Cao Xuan is a little uneasy, and feels that he still has to go out in person.

So Cao Xing took Liu Wan on this day, followed Fengyun and them to set off, and after arriving at the market, he set up a stall next to Fengyun and them.

Liu Wan cleared his throat and said loudly directly to the passing crowd.

"Fellow villagers, come and take a look, this is the laundry artifact made by our host, no matter what kind of dirt, it can be easily removed with just a light rub, whether it is laundry and bathing!"

Liu Wan's words, naturally Cao Sexual Intercourse He said, Liu Wan's voice was very loud, and there were many people who passed by, and they couldn't help but look sideways at this side, and after finding that it was Liu Wan, they didn't react much, but after seeing Cao Xuan behind Liu Wan, many people were not calm.

Cao Xing watched piles of people surround him, he felt that the effect was still good, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he was drowned out by people's gossip.

"Look, is he the Tiger Shooter you say you say!"

"No, he's so young, I look like he's 14 years old at most!"

"It's definitely him, he's Shooting Tiger Lang, I heard that he seems to be called Cao Xing, and he made it a few days ago, cold day liquor, and accept the welcome of our people in Bianyun County!"

Listening to people's gossip, not only Liu Wan was stunned, but even Cao Xing was a little confused, this time he heard clearly, shoot Hulang, these three words.

A month ago, Cao Xing was immersed in the process of making distilled spirits, and then sold them in the market, where did he have time to inquire about this kind of news, so he didn't know, since that time he carried a tiger down the mountain alone, it had attracted a lot of attention.
