Chapter 211: The Making Process

The first production, the quantity is not much, the raw material is 1500 pounds of plate oil and a large amount of quicklime, plate oil is a good thing, before the Miaojiazhuang day consumption is huge, the resulting plate oil, either disposed of, or taken by the Zhuang family, this era, the ordinary Zhuang family has not yet stir-fried, but the plate oil can be lit, can be added to the dish, used to enhance the taste, in short, will not be wasted.

Zhao Xin specially left these things, which surprised Miao Yuan, he thought that Zhao Xin wanted to eat, he was one of the few, who knew Zhao Xin's cooking skills, needless to say steamed buns, even the famous Fanlou stir-fry, Zhao Xin was able to get it out, the taste was not bad, now, Miao Yuan's family, when making green vegetables, he also specially invited the master chef to stir-fry, instead of the original boiled.

After eating the stir-fried vegetables, I ate the original cooked food, not to say that it is similar to pig food, and it is difficult to swallow.

Slab oil and quicklime, which can be said to be the basic raw materials for making soap, is also the easiest raw material that the traveler can find, and it is no wonder that soap can become the first of the three major inventions of the traveler, as long as it is not in the backward Stone Age, or it is so remote that there is nothing in the small mountain village, and there is a certain amount of money, you can buy these things.

It is also the lowest chemical reaction at the beginning, without too much, two or three catties of plate oil and a small amount of quicklime are enough to make a part of the soap, as long as it is sold on a rolling basis, you can quickly become a huge rich.

Of course, whether you have the ability to keep this wealth, that is, the benevolent and the wise see the wise, the feudal dynasty is relative to the enlightened era of later generations, it is naked, breaking the county order, destroying the door Lingyi, this sentence sounds so uncomfortable, but in fact, it is real, feudal society, it is the emperor who occupies the right to speak, it is the nobles, that is, studying and becoming an official can change fate, relying on wealth, Shen Wansan is a lesson from the past.

Zhao Xin's identity is destined not to be afraid of these, provided that he has to pass this level and successfully grow into a prince with the ability to protect himself.

However, at the moment, he is not a billionaire wealth, even if he makes soap, the daily income will not exceed 2,500 guan, so that the maximum annual income of one million is not a person's income, which is already surprisingly high in ordinary people, but for people who are really rich and rival the country, this is nothing, less than 20 million guan, I am afraid it cannot be called the top rich man in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The previous cement, foaming agent, has proved that Zhao Xin's magic, Zhao Xin every time he does something new, can have incredible results, foaming agent to create a, a daily profit of more than 1500 business, cement is a strategic material, including Sun Ji, are very nervous about them, several cement masters, were asked to move all their relatives to Miaojiazhuang.

This kind of relocation is not forced, but through inducement, if they move, their family will get 3 new two-story buildings, and will also have a bonus of 100 yuan and a promise of 50-100 acres of land in the future.

Whether it is a bonus of 100 yuan, or a commitment of 50-100 acres of land, for this era, it is difficult to be strict temptation, although for them, the current salary is also very high, and the salary of a year is more than 100 yuan, but it will take a year, and now move the family over, you can get it.

Miaojiazhuang is not a poor mountain and bad water, if you really want to say it, he should be the land of fish and rice, the climate is suitable, plus there are steamed buns, and the unknown stir-fried vegetables, this is a good thing, even if it is a master craftsman, or even a big landlord, they may not be able to eat stir-fried vegetables, they can eat as they please.

There are also such conditions, the villagers are relatively simple, they are happy, they also have the idea of enjoying the happiness of their relatives, and there is money to earn, of course, it is a perfect match.

The immediate family members and close relatives of the cement craftsman have come over, adding one hundred and ten people to Miaojiazhuang, a person's social relationship, of course, is very wide, all the immediate family members have come, there are really a lot, the current situation of Miaojiazhuang, there is not much problem with them, because of the identity of the cement craftsman, they have also been arranged in the first grade, and basically they have priority to enter the shop or workshop work.

Compared with the steamed bun workshop, the average salary of 70 Wen per day, the wage level of about 50 Wen, also makes them very satisfied, ordinary farmers, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, can get three or five times a year, which is already a lot, they are close to 20 times a year, what else can they complain about.

This is the third time, I was still a little suspicious because of cement before, but I didn't dare to doubt it now, and they came to the front, especially Sun Ji and others, and persuaded Zhao Xin repeatedly, if it is not necessary, don't let others help, if it is just strength, they can do it.

Soap synthesis, of course, does not have so much precision, even quicklime is ready-made, and the grease is also available, which is a simple saponification reaction, which can be done by ordinary families in later generations, although Sun Ji They don't understand, but the power is infinite, and it really can.

Zhao Xin obeyed their wishes, found a large room, and began to prepare.

This big room is actually an exhibition room, which used to display those animal and plant specimens, after Zhao Xin was promoted to level 2, all kinds of animals and plants at the first level had no effect, if Zhao Xin encountered it, he would still collect it, who knows if it would have a role at that time, but he didn't have to deliberately.

The specimens of plants and animals were all thrown away, and the vacant room itself was intended to be used as an office for regimental training, but after the start of the barracks outside, there was no longer such a need, so it was vacant.

The raw materials, respectively, quicklime, plate oil, hundreds of kilograms of quicklime and nearly 2,000 kilograms of plate oil, are piled on the ground and occupy a large position.

The basic reaction materials are very simple, several cauldrons, a stove, saponification reaction, in principle, does not need to be heated, and even because of the combination of oil and alkali, a lot of heat will be generated, but the plate oil is a solid oil, not as good as liquid vegetable oil, before reacting with alkali, it must be melted into a liquid, and only liquids can be mixed with each other.

Now, there are only five people such as Wang Song, of course Wang Song is in charge of the stove, he needs to melt 2000 catties of plate oil one by one, this is not an easy job, and finally Quyang used to help make a fire, and it does not need a very high temperature, too high a temperature will consume a lot of plate oil, but it will be wasted, as long as the temperature continues to be forty or fifty degrees, it will melt slowly.

On the other hand, quicklime is also added with water, and this reaction is still a large amount of heat, which needs to be stirred constantly to maintain a certain degree, so that these quicklimes can fully react with water to form a caustic soda solution.

Sun Ji and they participated in this experiment for the first time, and it was definitely a bit of a hurry, but fortunately, these were the simplest and most common chemical reactions, and it took almost 2 hours to prepare the materials under the stirring of a metal rod that was insoluble in lye.

Zhao Xin took out the container and began the preparation of the saponification reaction, the saponification reaction, to put it bluntly, is to add alkali to the oil, stir it sufficiently, let them react, and finally solidify the result. ,

This reaction also produces a lot of heat, and at the same time produces a large amount of gas, which is harmful and cannot be inhaled casually, and must be under ventilated conditions.

It seems that Sun Ji and others are preparing materials, but in fact, Zhao Xin is also not idle, in addition to controlling the quality through the card system, after all, the cards can be lit up to investigate the content, except for a small number of cards, such as dilute sulfuric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, which are two kinds of cards, other concentration chemical products, only displayed in the card system.

Zhao Xin doesn't know much about chemical industry, and he doesn't know what the industrial process is, but he knows one thing, the higher the purity, the better, in the middle, not only the continuous purification, but also the 3% improvement of ancient chemistry, and finally, after reaching the concentration that Zhao Xin is satisfied with, this is mixed together.

Chemical products are always accompanied by danger and heat, fortunately, Sun Ji and others are not ordinary people, and Zhao Xin even made a human blower to blow away these heat and harmful gases.

Here I have to say a few supermen, in later generations, manual represents backwardness and small batches, compared with machinery, the efficiency of manual is very low, but in this era, there are supermen like Sun Ji and Xue Yu, a manual fan, more fierce than the electric one, Zhao Xin had to let Xue Yu lower the grade, otherwise, everything was blown away.

The first trial production, about 100 kilograms of grease and the same amount of caustic soda were used, when the two were combined, they almost splashed out, fortunately, Zhao Xin ordered them to continue to stir, at first it was non-stop, until the mixing was more sufficient, and only stirred every 10 minutes.

This is the end until the whole reactant changes from a liquid state to a more viscous state like yogurt.

Next, use a container to get these soap bases out, little by little put them on top of the mold that has been prepared a long time ago, because it is a primary product, there is no added any ingredients in it, it is the simplest soap, so it is just a square, or rectangular wooden box, at most a few special simple symbols are added to it.

This is not a problem for carpenters at all, just a little extra work, and then it is completed, a total of more than 300, almost enough for this use, when all these soap bases are added, Zhao Xin prepared a greenhouse, to put it bluntly, it is a house that burns kang, at this time it is already ten winter wax moon, the lower temperature is not suitable for the solidification of soap base, and the temperature must be maintained above 25 degrees.

After doing all this, Zhao Xin left, and also let Sun Ji and them leave, it will take 24 hours to finally solidify, that is to say, it will depend on tomorrow.
