Chapter 163: Soap

Cui Daoshu said: "Relying on women to pick flowers and medicines is too small. I will ask the steward of the Cui family to buy a large number of flowers and medicinal herbs. ”

Na Zhe suddenly spoke: "There is another problem, if we want to sell these things at a high price and sell them as luxury goods, we must make exquisite outer packaging." To make these products look high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade, in order to make a lot of money. ”

Cui Daoshu thought about it and said: "I can let Ah Mei participate in the design of the outer packaging, she is a woman herself and knows the aesthetic needs of women." Ah Mei is very good at drawing, she can do design work, and she has nothing to do for a day of leisure. ”

Du Dalei said: "You can also let Fu Hongyu and them participate, they are all experts in the fashion industry." ”

Everyone laughed, and An Dalang asked in confusion: "Time, what is it?" What are you talking about? ”

"Fashion is what it means for women to love stinky beauty."

An Dalang stopped squeaking, anyway, the woman's business has nothing to do with him.

Cui Daoshu said: "I went to Mingzhou this time, and talked about the second room, fourth, fifth, and sixth rooms of the Cui family, and asked them to join our sales system, and each family was responsible for the sales work in a big city, and they all agreed." These houses decided to move to Mingzhou City and live with the long house. In the future, only Cui Mingxun and Cui Daoshi's father and son will be left in Cui's Manor, and these two bastards must be resolutely and completely isolated. Let them taste the betrayal of their relatives. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will clean up the father and son. ”

An Dalang immediately shouted: "Family master, let me kill them!" ”

Du Dalei said with a smile: "No, I'll kill them now, it's too cheap for these two bastards." We're going to boil the frogs in warm water and play with them slowly. ”

Du Dalei said to Zhao Zizhong: "Boss, I will go to sea tomorrow." Suddenly I remembered one thing, whale oil has been boiled out a lot, we can do it*. Go to the bow and crossbow workshop and urge the craftsmen to try to make it*. ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Your idea is good, we must strengthen the armed forces." I'll arrange it tomorrow, don't worry. By the way, Daoshu, you will go to Mingzhou tomorrow, place an order for the shipyard, and order ten more warships. ”

"Ten ships, how much?" Cui Daoshu asked.

"Not much, we'll definitely use it in the future."

Na Zhe asked, "Do we have so much money to buy ten ships at a time?" ”

Zhao Zizhong replied: "You don't have to pay it all at once, give the shipyard some deposits first, and then pay the full amount when the ship is built." ”

Cui Daoshu thought about it and said, "It should be no problem, I'll do this tomorrow." ”

----------------- ----------------------- ------------------

The next morning, when six warships went out to sea to hunt whales, Wei Hongye and some craftsmen prepared to start experimenting with making soap and candles.

He asked people to bring a clay pot filled with whale oil, and set up a large cauldron, poured some whale oil into it, and made a fire to heat it.

Then Wei Hongye sent people to find some plant ash and quicklime, grabbed some each, and threw them into the cauldron.

* Holding a wooden stick, slowly stirring the solution in the pot, so that the grease and plant ash and quicklime are fully integrated.

After a while, he felt that the temperature was high enough, so he asked people to remove some firewood and continue to heat it over a low fire.

After ten minutes, he asked people to add some salt water to the pot, then extinguished the firewood, brought the iron pot to a cool place, and let the solution in the pot cool slowly.

Everyone stared at the iron pot curiously, waited for a long time, and found that the solution gradually turned into a solid state.

After it was completely cooled, everyone found that the upper layer was a paste-like substance, and Wei Hongye scraped the paste-like substance with a wooden board and put it into the prepared bowl. These things are glycerin, which can be used to wipe hands and faces, and it is very good as a skin care product.

* The karma has scraped the glycerin, and the bottom of the pot is left with the original soap that has hardened. He poured out the things and cut them into many small pieces with a knife, allowing the artisans to wash their hands with these raw soaps.

The craftsmen took small pieces of soap to wash their hands suspiciously, and after a while, people came back one after another, saying that the effect was good, and the washing was very clean.

Wei Hongye led the craftsmen to continue experimenting and made a lot of soap. He asked the craftsmen to cut the soap into small pieces, and then asked them to bathe and wash their clothes with the soap at night, and then they all talked about the effect of using it tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Wei Hongye took a few craftsmen, filled his pockets with soap blocks, and walked back to the camp.

He came to the school, found Na Zhe, and said to him: "You bring all the female teachers, give each of them a few pieces of soap, let them take a bath and wash their clothes at night, and then let them evaluate the effect of soap." ”

Na Zhe took out a pale yellow piece of soap from his pocket and said happily: "Second brother, you are very good, you can make soap so quickly." I'm going to take a good shower with it, my hair is sticky and not refreshing at all. ”

Wei Hongye said with a smile: "These are all experimental products, and the processing technology is not yet mature. You guys try it first, and if it's okay, I'll keep exploring until I find the best formula. ”

Na Zhe said: "Second brother, I think this soap looks a little impurity, and the taste is not very good. If you can add some spices, it will definitely sell for a high price. ”

"You're right, I'm just making some primary samples now, so that everyone can try them, and I will gradually improve the production process and make some high-end products in the future."

At this time, the bell rang for the end of class, and the school was over. The children all rushed out of the classroom, and Sa Huan ran outside the camp.

It was the first time Wei Hongye had seen such a scene, and he asked, "What are these children doing after school?" ”

"They all went up the mountain to play, studied for a day, and suffocated them. None of these monkeys will come back until it's time to eat. ”

"Will it be dangerous?"

"It's okay, many of the children are orphans, little beggars, they are not flowers in the greenhouse of later generations, they are all skinned."

Wei Hongye thought about it and said: "It's not a thing to run so wildly, if you get a few soccer balls, let them organize them, and everyone plays together, what do you think?" ”

Na Zhe was very happy, "Old Wei, you can do it, why didn't I think of it!" ”

"When I was in college, I was the heart of the midfield of the varsity football team. Don't tell me, my feet are a little itchy right now, and I want to kick it hard. ”

"And how do you solve football?"

"Find the women in the garment workshop, let them sew some with cloth, fill it with horsehair and tail, and try a few first."

Na Zhe suggested: "What if you say you would make a football out of whale skin?" I think the whale skin is very flexible and strong enough. ”

"Then make a few out of cloth and a few from whale skin, and compare them to see which works better."

"Old Wei, if Boss Zhao knew that we had made a football, he would definitely be happy. The animals of the Escort will definitely enjoy playing football. ”

"There aren't many men who don't like to play football, and you can make a few rugby balls and let the guys on the escort team vent their excess energy."

"We can organize a league on Qishan Island, let each department form a football team, and then play one game every three days, and the top three teams will give bonuses, which everyone will definitely like."

Just as the two brothers were in their brains, several women walked in with a giggle. After they finished teaching, they punished a few disobedient children before returning to the office.

Seeing Wei Hongye, Qi Jiuniang smiled and said, "Second brother, you are a rare guest." I remember, you're coming to the academy for the first time, right? Do you have a crush on which girl? ”

Wei Hongye was a little embarrassed, several girls laughed, and Na Zhe said helplessly: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't tease the second brother, okay?" He's got something good for you. ”

Wanqiu asked, "What good things?" Mr. Wei, it's either iron or knives and guns, what do we want to do with those? ”

Na Zhe opened his pocket, took out a few bars of soap, and placed them on the table.

Several women gathered around, looking curiously at the yellow soap bar, not knowing what it was for.

Fang Juniang picked up a piece, smelled the taste, and asked suspiciously, "Can this be eaten?" It tastes weird. ”

Na Zhe laughed: "Silly woman, you take a bite, let me see, I'll give you ten dollars, haha, laugh at me!" ”

Fang Juniang was so angry that she slapped him a few times, and Wei Hongye hurriedly said: "This is not something to eat, it is used to wash your face, hands, and clothes." You all try it and see how it goes. ”

Wei Hongye picked up a piece, walked to the basin, washed his hands with soap, and demonstrated it to several women.

Na Zhe walked over, picked up the wooden basin, went to the yard to change the clean water, and then said flatteringly to the puffing Fang Ju Niang: "Ju Niang, you come and try it, after washing, you will definitely feel good." ”

Fang Juniang looked at Wei Hongye and said to Na Zhe angrily: "Today I am giving face to the second brother, and I don't have the same knowledge as you." ”

Then she walked over, picked up the soap and started washing her hands. After washing, Ju Niang dried her hands with a linen cloth, and then said, "It's a refreshing feeling, not bad!" Sisters, try it. ”

Several women took turns washing their hands with soap, and they all said that it worked well.

Na Zhe smiled and said: "You all take soap and take a bath, it has the effect of cleansing the skin and can remove dirt from the body, you will definitely like it." ”

Qi Jiuniang took a sip: "Phew, if you want to tease, let's just say it, who has dirt on them?" It's like you've seen it. Fang Juniang, you don't care about the man in your family. ”

Fang Juniang snorted, and said with a smile: "Where do I dare, I'm a maid, how dare I take care of the affairs of big officials, Jiu Niang, you are too exalted to me." ”

Na Zhe hurriedly said: "Wronged, I just want you to take a bath with soap, why did you still have a scandal?" ”

Several women chattered against Na Zhe, saying that he had bad intentions. Wei Hongye had never dealt with so many women, his head was a few laps bigger, and he hurriedly left the office and fled.
