Jiang De picked out the pure, largest part of the soap that had not yet fully solidified, and when he got closer, he smelled a greasy smell of lard.

I don't think anyone likes their clothes or smells like this.

Li Zhong asked curiously, "Village master, what is this?" It looks pretty good. ”

Indeed, lard soap looks crystal clear and is quite beautiful.

"It just doesn't smell good, this is soap, similar to soap." Jiang De handed it to Li Zhong and the others and let them look at it.

Li Zhong sniffed it, frowned and said, "Owner of the village, that's it, I'm afraid no one will take it to wash clothes." ”

At this time, most of the people used soap horn to wash clothes, and soap horn carried a unique fragrance of plants, which was much better than the smell of lard.

Jiang De took a few boxes of rouge next to him and said, "That's why I asked you to bring a few boxes of rouge, I will think of other ways in the future, but now I can only use this to cover up the taste of lard soap." ”

As he spoke, Jiang De opened a few boxes of rouge, poured them into the lard soap, and then kept stirring, and soon, the original yellow-white lard soap turned pink, and the taste was much better.

Gongsun Sheng's eyes lit up and said, "Lord, such lard soap must be sold at a high price." ”

Jiang De put the pot of lard soap aside and said, "This can't be said to be lard soap anymore, it has to be called soap, otherwise it won't be sold at a high price." ”

As he spoke, Jiang De looked at the iron pot that had just melted the lard, there was still a lot of liquid in it, and there was a thin layer of soap floating on the liquid.

Jiang De skimmed out the soap and some turbidity and put it in another basin, and then added the mixed brine to it and stirred vigorously.

Soon, the turbid substance changed again, and slowly began to solidify.

This time, the solids looked very similar to the soap just now, but Jiang De knew that this was not soap, but another precious material - wax.

At this time, there was no electric light in the Great Song Dynasty, and at night, everyone needed to use oil lamps or candles to illuminate, and the most commonly used wax was insect wax.

Later generations of candles were cheap, but in ancient times, wax was a very expensive thing, because the source of insect wax was the secretion of bees and termites, of which beeswax is yellow, also known as yellow wax, which has been widely used since the Qin and Han dynasties, and termite wax is white wax, which can be made longer than beeswax, but it did not begin to circulate until the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Jiang De makes lard wax, which is not only cheap, but also of high quality, even higher than insect wax, and the smoke is much smaller.

As for vegetable waxes, the yield is so small that it is almost negligible.

Gongsun Sheng watched Jiang De make a candle with this pot of wax, and only felt that his eyes were not enough, this Taoist method that he had learned all his life did not seem to be as magical as the master of the village, this is the means of immortals.

This is not over, Jiang De continued to calculate the remaining waste liquid in the pot.

When Jiang De was learning technology just now, he was surprised to find that wax can be made at the same time as making lard soap, and the waste liquid stinky water after making wax contains a treasure.

"Village master, is there anything else in this waste liquid that can be used?" Gongsun Sheng asked curiously.

"If anything, this waste liquid is the real treasure, compared to the soap and wax just now, it is like the light of rice beads."

Jiang De shook his head and sighed, this waste liquid is not something else, but glycerin.

Speaking of glycerin, future generations should think of another name - nitroglycerin!

Nitroglycerin, as the name suggests, is the result of glycerin nitration, but nitroglycerin is too unstable, and Jiang De doesn't want to release this demon yet.

But glycerin is not only used as explosives, he has many other uses, and there is about 10% glycerol in the waste liquid in front of Jiang De.

"Mr. Gongsun, go and ask if the equipment has been built?"

Gongsun Sheng immediately went out to inquire, and after about half an hour, he came back with a set of instruments and said, "The owner of the village has been waiting for a long time, please take a look." ”

Jiang De looked at it and put the instrument on the ground, in fact, this instrument was a simple filter, Jiang De put the charcoal, sand, and stones in order, and then slowly poured the clarified waste liquid into it.

I saw that these waste liquids were constantly filtered, and finally what flowed out was a clear and transparent liquid, which is available in soybean oil and wine-making places, so everyone was not surprised, but they were just curious about what this waste liquid was for.

"Owner, what is this thing? What's the use? Li Zhong took a breath, felt that there was no longer a smell, and asked curiously.

"It's called glycerin." Jiang De said to Gongsun Sheng, "This thing, colorless, odorless, sweet, in winter, our skin is easy to dry and cracked, dilute it five times and apply it to the skin, it is not easy to dry out, this thing can be used for our army in winter in the future."

But the greatest use of this thing is in the wine. ”

"Wine?" Gongsun Sheng naturally knew that Jiang De was in the high wine business, so he asked, "The village master's Qiong wine is already the best, is it possible that it will go to the next level with this thing?" ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "It's not liquor, it's fruit wine..."

"Fruit wine?" Gongsun Sheng looked at glycerin and asked, "What's the use of adding it?" ”

Jiang De replied, "After this thing is added to the fruit wine, the astringency of the fruit wine will be removed, what do you think will be the result?" ”

"The owner of the village? Is this true? Gongsun Sheng's eyes were about to bulge, and in his eyes at this time, what flowed out was not glycerin, but gold.

As I said before, the Great Song Dynasty has a monopoly on wine, but this monopoly is only grain wine, but fruit wine is not among them, this is because the taste of fruit wine at this time is extremely poor, muddy, bitter and astringent, not that the poor can't afford to buy rice wine and no one drinks it at all! This is due to the problem of brewing technology, and the second is that the fruit at this time is completely different from that of later generations.

Before it was transformed by countless scientists from the agricultural colleges in later generations, the number of fruits at this time was small, the taste was poor, and even the watermelon was more skin than pulp, less juicy and less flavorful, anyway, Jiang De was willing to exchange it for a soft drink in later generations after eating it once.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, Fan Lou's signature is his fruit wine, he chooses the best fruits, uses unique skills, but the taste is good.

But this is good, but it is also limited, you know, in the brewing of fruit wine, will naturally produce a substance, called tannins, which is the source of all the bitterness and astringency in the fruit, as long as it is not decomposed, then the taste of fruit wine will inevitably not be good, and the secret of this decomposition is glycerin!

Three treasures were made, and the sky became dark.

Lighting the candle he had just made, Jiang De called Chao Gai and the others, and then said, "Everyone, since we are going to fight overseas in the future, this money and food are indispensable, I just came up with a few profitable deals, you can take a look." ”

As he spoke, Jiang De introduced the three things separately, and Chao Gai and the others' eyes lit up, and they could all see how much benefit was contained in this.

"There are many people near my Liangshan who support us and others, especially those villages that have been beaten by local tyrants, and they are the only ones who follow Liangshan, but such support must have long-term interests in order to be long-term." Jiang De explained, "One of the benefits is this lard and fruit wine, and I am ready to increase the efforts of pig raising and fruit tree planting in the places we can influence, and I think it can also increase the income of the people." ”

"That's good! We peasants beg in the fields every day, and it is difficult for us to get rich, even if we grow some fruit, it is difficult to sell it at a price, and this will definitely be supported by the people. Chao Gai was the first to say with a smile.

"Yes, now many people's fertile land has been forcibly expropriated by the government, but there are a lot of barren mountains, planting fruit trees, as long as a year or two can produce fruit, this is another ten thousand acres of fertile land for the people!" Xu Guanzhong also said with a smile.

"But if the soap of the owner of the village has to be flavored with rouge, the price can't be low." Gongsun Sheng picked up a piece of soap and said.

"It's rouge now, it can't be rouge in the future, you still have to use the essence extracted from flowers, and some fragrant wood can also be added to it, which requires a lot of experiments." Jiang De said to Gongsun Sheng, "Mr. Gongsun, you have to work hard in this regard, think more methods, experiment more, see which one has the lowest cost, and think more about the taste of soap."

And the mold of this candle also has to work hard, and the shape will determine his price.

For the last fruit wine, you also have to find the most suitable ratio to come out. ”

Gongsun Sheng arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, the owner of the village, within a month, there will be results." ”

"And be careful about secrecy!" Xu Guanzhong asked Jiang De, "Where is the lord going to put these three things for sale?" ”

Jiang De thought for a while and said, "Our current shop revolves around food, and this candle and soap are a bit abrupt to put in it."

I thought that the scope of our cotton cultivation was gradually expanding, and I planned to open another store in each state capital, called Lotus, but there were only two kinds of things, and it was a bit too monotonous to put them in one store, and I wanted to prepare some more items to buy and sell in the store. ”

"Owner of the village, if that's the case, I'll mention something." Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "The one called toothpaste that the owner of the village used for me is very good, and if I take it out, it will definitely sell well." ”

There are not many points used for daily chemical products, so Jiang De often redeems some for his close people, and Gongsun Sheng, as the backbone of Liangshan, naturally has also used it.

"Toothpaste..."Jiang De closed his eyes and searched the system, and found that although he couldn't make a real toothpaste, he could make a simple version.

Jiang De opened his eyes and said, "This thing is good, since there is toothpaste, naturally there must be a toothbrush, we buy lard, then the bristle is also purchased by the way, this thing will also be of great use in the future." ”

Of course, it is of great use, in the future, artillery and muskets are inseparable from the mane, in the later World War II, China relied on the mane to obtain a lot of foreign exchange to buy weapons against the Japanese army.

In fact, at this time, although there is no toothpaste, but there has been tooth powder, tooth powder is ground into powder with traditional Chinese medicine to clean teeth, as for Europe thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty, it will take another thousand years to have such tooth powder, as for now, getting up to rinse with water is already a particular aristocrat, it is really not as good as the Roman era.

The toothpaste that Jiang De wants to make is also simple, but it is just a mixture of vegetable oil, alkali, salt, and peppermint oil.

Jiang De thought again that since soap should use essence and toothpaste should use mint, then flower water and perfume can also be produced, anyway, the technology of these two things is similar.

Just do it when you think of it, in the next few days, Jiang Dedu took Gongsun Sheng to continue experimenting, and soon tried out perfume, toilet water and toothpaste, of course, these are still relatively rough, and Gongsun Sheng needs to slowly think about how to make more detailed products.

But in any case, the main merchandise of Lotus Department Store has been designed, just waiting to amaze the eyes of the world.

At the same time, between the white mountains and black waters, Aguta also started a new movement.

- Huanglong Mansion

Huanglongfu has gradually regained its vitality, especially after the rebellion of the Bohai people, a large number of refugees fled to Huanglongfu, so that Huanglongfu's popularity that had been reduced by the war quickly recovered, and these people also brought technology and culture, so that Aguta became more and more aware of the situation in the Liao and Song dynasties.

"Wolf master, there is an urgent report!"

A Jurchen sergeant said with an urgent report handed to Aguta.

Aguda took it and looked at it, and handed it to Ceres, who was beside him.

After Yan Xiyin took it, he said in surprise, "Gao Yongchang can't hold it anymore?" It's only been a long time..."

Ah Gu laughed and said, "I thought I would be a hero, but it turned out to be just a house sparrow, but it was only two or three months before he asked us for help." ”

Wanyan Xiyin squinted his eyes and said, "Wolf Lord, this is an opportunity, the Tokyo occupied by Gao Yongchang is one of the five major capitals of the Liao Kingdom, if we can occupy it, then everyone in the world will think that we are on an equal footing with the Liao Kingdom." ”

On an equal footing with Liao?

Ah Guta's eyes were full of excitement, he squinted at the letter of help in his hand and said, "Reply to Gao Yongchang, it's okay for us to send troops, but he must cancel the emperor title and call me a vassal of Dajin Kingdom!" ”

"Wolf Lord, we don't need it at all...."Wanyan Xiyin dissuaded.

Ah Gu waved his hand and said, "After ordering, Yan Hulu is ready to send troops to Tokyo City!" ”

Wanyan Xiyin suddenly understood, and said with a smile, "The wolf lord has a good plan, but if Gao Yongchang really eliminates the emperor title, what should I do?" ”

Ah Gu snorted: "Is my Huanglong Mansion still lacking a courtyard?" ”

This is to eat Gao Yongchang.

Wanyan Xiyin stopped talking and went down to give the order.

Liao Tianqing six years, Song Zhenghe six years, April, A Gu Da in Gao Yongchang refused to be a minister after the sudden dispatch of troops to Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, at this time the Liao State and the Bohai State were killing each other in the city, was caught by the Jin army for a burst of indiscriminate killing, the Liao army was afraid of the Jin army because of the previous defeat, first withdrew from the war, and then the Bohai Navy was even more lonely, was broken by the first battle, and then, the Liao army was repeatedly defeated by the Jin army, and Gao Yongchang also learned the news of the Jin army's invasion, his heart was terrified, first asked to be sealed, not allowed, Wan Yan Lu sneered, Thinking that it was a delaying strategy, he continued to march and killed directly under the city of Tokyo, Gao Yongchang went out of the city to fight first, and was killed and defeated, and suddenly did not dare to fight again, and withdrew to the south with the remnants of the army.

In June, all 54 prefectures in Liaodong Province were included in the Golden State. Aguta abolished all the Liao laws, established Meng'an and Mouke in accordance with the Jin State system, and Wanyan Hulu was also awarded the post of the capital of the South Road because of the merit of the death of the country.
