Chapter 17 Making Soap (Asking for Collections and Recommending Votes)

After figuring out what the saponification reaction was, Xin Zhen's reputation was only 853 points, uh, no, it had risen by five points at this time......

I'm going to leave a search opportunity for backup, so it's okay......

Fortunately, the prestige value has been rising, and it won't be long before there should be another thousand points, and when the time comes, it must be saved!

Putting aside the issue of prestige for a moment, Xin Xi began to think about making soap.

For Xin Zhen, who eats vegetarian every day, oil is also a problem for making soap.

And also...... Is there alkali in this age? Xin Zhen was very confused.

If you have alkali, you will use it to make steamed buns, right? So, if there are buns, there will be alkali, right?

I remember that the bun seems to have been invented by Zhuge Liang, and it really became popular around the Northern Song Dynasty. It seems that in the previous life, I vaguely heard a student from the history department talk about it: In the second year of Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu, the crown prince, who is now Emperor Renzong, was born, and Emperor Zhenzong steamed steamed buns filled with "gold, silver and jewelry" to reward the ministers.

There were buns in the Zhenzong years, and now his son will be hanging in a few months, especially in the forty-two years of Renzong's reign, in half a century, the buns should be popular, right?!

"Xiang'er, do you have buns?" Xin Zhen opened his throat and roared.

Xiang'er poked her head out of the kitchen with a puzzled expression: "Does Eleven Lang want to eat steamed buns?" The slave can make steamed buns, but there is no meat filling, so it is not delicious to make......"

"Hibiki can make steamed buns?!" Xin Xi stood up abruptly, and then asked, "Xiang'er, what do you use to make buns?" Is it alkali? ”

Xiang'er's face was full of doubts: "It's not alkali, it's made of wheat flour......"

Xin Xi was speechless, I knew it was wheat flour......

"Did you put anything in the wheat flour? It's something that makes the bun fluffier. ”

"Oh!" Xiang'er suddenly realized: "It's Xiao Su Fen?!" ”

"Yes, yes, give me some of that little soda powder! And, oil! ”

"Oil?! There is no gas at home......"

Xin Zhen's face was speechless: "Do you still have money at home?!" ”

"No, not a single copper coin is gone......" Xiang'er's face was a little embarrassed.

Xin Xi sighed helplessly and said, "Xiang'er, stop cooking, bring twenty catties of wheat and go to the market to exchange for a catty of oil!" ”

"Huh? Don't cook again?! Hibiki's face was full of surprise, and her mouth was wide open.

"Yes, it's the same this time, if you can bring the oil back, we can find a way to eat and drink without worrying for the rest of our lives!"

Xiang'er didn't move, pouting and puffing out: "Eleven Lang will deceive people, last time I said that if I got the invitation to the Wenhui, I would be able to eat and drink for a year, but this time it's like this, Xiang'er is not stupid!" ”

Xin Xi was speechless for a while, and explained softly: "How did I lie to you? Wenhui really earned a year to eat, Wang Shu lost to me 800 acres of fertile land in Xiyuan and Xiaoniu Mountain, but that kid didn't want to give it, I will give it in two days! ”

"Really? Eleven Lang?! ”

"Really!! Otherwise, where did I have the confidence that I would be able to get five hundred taels of silver tomorrow? Didn't you plan for Wang Shu to redeem his family's garden and fields with five hundred taels of silver? ”

"Eleven Lang, I'm going to change the oil!"

Xiang'er suddenly became excited, and she didn't worry about eating and drinking for the rest of her life! The year in Shishilang's mouth is not worried about eating and drinking, it is already a garden the size of 800 acres of fertile land and the West Garden, how many good fields and gardens should be there if you don't worry about eating and drinking for a lifetime? !

With this excitement, Xiang'er's eyes almost narrowed into copper coins.

"Xiang'er, go quickly!"

"Hmm!"

With a promise, Xiang'er quickly rushed into the warehouse, carrying a small bag of wheat, and rushed out the door at a trot.

In less than half an hour, Xiang'er came back with an estimated pound of mutton fat.

In this era, Su Shi had not yet invented Dongpo meat, so no one ate pork, and lard did not exist......

After taking the lard handed by Xiang'er, Xin Xi went to the kitchen to get the small soda powder, and cooked the two separately......

Homothermal ...... Your uncle's same temperature, do you still want to build a thermometer first?!

No matter what, it's good to estimate the same temperature.

As soon as the mutton fat melted, Xin Xi tested the temperature of the two, then found a porcelain jar, and mixed the oil with the soda powder water.

Xiang'er stood aside and looked intently: "Eleven Lang, what is this for?" ”

"Soap!"

"Soap?" Hibiki's face was full of surprise.

Xin Zhen turned his head: "Eh, it's used to wash your hands and face, and you can wash your hands very clean!" ”

"Isn't that a bath bean?" Xiang'er asked.

Uh, it turns out that there was already something similar in the Northern Song Dynasty?

Xin Zhen shook his head: "Soap is much easier to use than bath beans, and you can make soap when you turn around, and it ......will be fragrant after washing."

"Really?" Xiang'er suddenly twisted: "Eleven Lang, after you do it, can you ...... Can you send a slave to ......?"

Xin Zhen laughed: "In the future, soap and soap, Xiang'er can use it casually!" ”

"Eleven Lang is so good!" The little girl admired from the bottom of her heart.

"Well, let's go cook!"

"Hmm!"

As time passed, I saw that the two liquids had become thick and slimy, somewhat like some kind of discharge......

Is yogurt the same? Xin, who had never drunk yogurt, expressed surprise.

I randomly found a box in the house that used to hold pastries, and it was counted as a model.

Ten soaps were made in a row, and the mutton fat was exhausted, and at the end, a few unknown wildflower petals were added to one of the soaps, which should make a simple soap, right?

With that out of the way, there doesn't seem to be much left to do......

Xin Zhen stretched out boredly.

No, why hasn't Xin Thirty-six been gone for so long and hasn't come back?

Confused, Xiang'er has already come out with today's dinner, okay, this era is not called dinner, it is called feeding.

When the sun was setting in the west, Xin Xi sat on the stone table in the courtyard, reluctantly eating salted cabbage in white water, which was bitter......

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the courtyard door.

Xin Zhen looked up: "Is it thirty-six?" Come in, the door is not closed! ”

A "crunch" sounded, and Xin Thirty-six walked over with his hands and feet nimble.

Seeing Xiang'er, Xin Thirty-six's eyes flashed slightly, and the maid in front of her dared to eat at the same table with her master?!

"Eleven Lang, this slave doesn't know etiquette, so it's better to sell it and buy a new one who knows how to learn!" Xin Thirty-six stared at Xiang'er, and a cold voice suddenly sounded.

Xiang'er immediately stood up uneasily.

Xin Xi was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood, comforted Xiang'er and sat down, and then teased Xin Thirty-six: "How come, Xiang'er is very obedient?" I asked her to eat at the same table with me, and she didn't dare to disobey! ”

Xin Thirty-six paused slightly, his face was full of iron: "It's actually Eleven Lang who doesn't know etiquette?!" ”

Xin Zhen was helpless, this Nima feudal etiquette thing is indescribable in one or two sentences, so. Xin Xi directly changed the topic: "Thirty-six, eat, ring, add double bowls and chopsticks!" ”

Hearing this, Xiang'er immediately got up and ran towards the kitchen.

"Eleven Lang, etiquette is a big deal, how can it be violated?!" Xin Thirty-six stood in place.

"Quick, sit and eat together!" Xin Xi didn't care.

"Eleven Lang!"

"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and Confucius also ate at the same table with slaves, why not?!" After saying this, Xin Xi didn't want to talk too much, after all, Confucius ate at the same table with slaves and he made it up on the spot.

"Do you know where those two are going?"

Xin Thirty-six frowned, but still stood in place: "In the thatched hut near the moat in the north of the city!" ”

"Thank you Thirty-Six! Thirty-six This kindness will be repaid in the future! Xin Zhen solemnly hugged his fists and bowed.

Xin Thirty-six hurriedly flashed to the side, bowed his hand, and said, "Thirty-six actually came over on the orders of the patriarch to obey Eleven Lang!" ”

In fact, at the beginning, the order he received was just to watch Eleven, protect Eleven, and monitor Eleven.

It's just that this afternoon, he was temporarily ordered to work under Eleven Lang.

"Oh?" Xin Zhen looked up, his eyes flashing with thought.

Could it be that this Xin Thirty-Six is a member of the secret force controlled by the Xin family?

Moreover, the name thirty-six, is it just a number like Stephen Chow's 9527?!

If Xin Thirty-six is really a member of that secret force, does that mean that the secret force is actually in the hands of the patriarch Xin Tier?

The patriarch seems to be getting more and more mysterious.

"Eleven Lang, I won't eat anymore, I'm around, and I'll call me anytime if I have something." As the words fell, Thirty-Six took a step forward, and his body suddenly turned into a black shadow.

It was as if his eyes were blurred, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed to see Thirty-Six go out, but it was as if Thirty-Six had disappeared out of thin air.

"System, thirty-six, what kind of martial arts is this?!"

"Host reputation is not enough to query ......"

Your sister!

963 reputation......

No, you have to learn these common-sense things yourself, otherwise how much prestige can you squander them?!

Thinking about this, Xin Xi plans to buy books again, but not to bring them back to the 21st century as antiques, but to really study hard.
