Chapter 11 Soap
"Uncle!" In the morning, Li Jing sat on the windowsill, there was a soft sound outside, he heard Lancôme's voice, since that night, Li Jing has not seen Lancôme for five days, originally thought that Lancôme would not come to see him, but he didn't expect to come today.

"Sister-in-law, come in!" Li Jing slowly collected the gong, felt the surging power in his body, and was extremely satisfied in his heart, this Ziyang Jin is worthy of being a first-class martial arts practice, the combination of movement and static, every moment, Li Jing can feel the increase in his strength, and there is a faint trace of trickle flowing in the meridians in his body, which is the true qi of the inner family.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the secrets of the inner family are also rare, most of them are in the hands of some big families, and although most people practice martial arts all day long, they are also external skills. Compared to the inner family's true qi, it is much weaker.
The only thing I regret is that although the true qi of the inner family is very magical, it is different from what is described in those novels. But for those martial arts masters, it's still okay for more than a dozen people to be close to each other.
"Uncle, this is today's ginseng soup. The father-in-law said that during this time, the uncle was at an important stage and could not cut off this tonic. Lancôme lowered her head, her face was slightly red, and she didn't dare to look at Li Jing, Li Ying asked her to send ginseng soup to the meaning of naturally knowing, but everything in it made her unacceptable, but she didn't know what to do. Central Plains Confucianism, this kind of thing is not something that brothers can do one after another. Ethics is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Lancôme is no exception.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Jing looked at the gentle woman in front of him, and the shyness between his bowed heads made his heart move, and he wanted to take her into his arms immediately, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up, this meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and he couldn't be in a hurry. At that moment, he took the small bowl in the maid's hand and swallowed it in one gulp, feeling the medicinal power in it.
"Sister-in-law, how old is this mountain ginseng?" Li Jing frowned and asked.
"It's supposed to be ten years, what's wrong?" Lancôme looked up and asked curiously.
"It's not working." Li Jing smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, ten years of mountain ginseng swallowed into the abdomen, like a fire burning, blood flowing, but now that I drink it, it only produces some warmth, and it is not as effective as before, and it has only been a few days." ”
"Maybe it's because my uncle is practicing diligently, so the effect of the mountain ginseng in the past ten years has been so before, and when tomorrow comes, I will tell the kitchen to replace it with twenty years." Lancôme was horrified in her heart, she had also seen others practice martial arts, and they consumed elixirs like mountain ginseng, but there were very few like Li Jing, and she began to change ginseng in a few days. If this continues, it will soon be replaced by a hundred years, although Li Jiazhuang has a lot of money, but the price of a hundred years of ginseng is expensive, and Li Jiazhuang may not be able to afford it.
"If you want to practice martial arts, you need a lot of money. Although Ziyang Jin is a top-grade master, the more such a mastery, the more things are consumed. Li Jing looked at the scroll, and there were still a lot of rare herbs in the back, these medicinal materials cooperated with each other, either for internal qi training, or for external body training, carefully calculated, if you want to train Ziyang Jin to the fullest, not only do you need strong qualifications, but also a lot of money consumption, and Li Jiazhuang may not be able to support more people to practice martial arts in the future.
"Uncle rest assured, although Lijiazhuang is not very rich, it is enough to provide for my uncle." Lancôme reassured.
"That's not good, you still need to earn this money yourself. The money of our Lijiazhuang can't just provide me alone, there are also 300 villagers, and in the future, my Lijiazhuang will have to gather more villagers. Like Zhujiazhuang, it has nearly 1,000 customers. Li Jing waved his hand and said, "I have found a way to make money, sister-in-law can rest assured." Li Jing decided to start implementing his plan now.
"Quick, big bull, bring that glass, we rely on this to make money." In an attic, there are only two people, Li Jing and Li Daniu, and there are several glass bottles on the table in front of Li Jing, which he did not buy, but made himself. Thanks to his time in the library, he read a lot of books, although the glass he made was not much better than the glass of this era, but it was barely usable.
He's experimenting to see if he can make soap. If you want to make soap, everything else is easy to get, the only thing is sodium hydroxide, which is the key to soap. According to the introduction in the book, Li Jing didn't know how many times he tried before he was close to success, so he didn't know how many pairs of gloves he had at once, in order to prevent being injured by corrosive liquids such as caustic soda.
"Childe, what is this thing, why does it smell so bad?" Li Da Niu opened his eyes wide, looking at Li Jing, following Li Jing for so long, he really didn't know that Li Jing was not only good at martial arts, but also knew this move, looking at the magical changes in the liquid here, Li Da Niu looked at Li Jing with reverent eyes, in his opinion, his son had gone beyond the scope of human beings.
"This is our rich baby, you don't know, quick, bring the rapeseed oil." Li Jing commanded again. In this era, although it is not as rich as edible oil in later generations, there are still a lot of vegetable oils, which is also an important raw material for soap in hand. Of course, compared to sodium hydroxide, canola oil and the like are nothing at all.
"Childe, what is this? It looks yellow, it's beautiful, and it smells weird. Li Daniu frowned and looked at the front of him, this is a mold, and there is already yellow soap in the mold, but at this time, Li Daniu didn't know that this was probably the first soap in the world.
"It's called soap, and it's not only used to wash clothes, but also to take a bath to get rid of stains on your body." Li Jing looked at the soap in front of him, his face showed a smug look, looking at the yellow thing in front of him, he knew that he had succeeded this time, he seemed to see endless money beckoning to him, with this money, he could also have enough money to buy various medicinal materials to help him practice martial arts.
"Did you get the lotus juice?" Li Jing looked at the dozen or so yellow soaps in front of him, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked.
"Brought, brought, Childe, for the sake of these lotus juices, I didn't even sleep well last night! I found a few women, and finally managed to figure it out. Li Daniu was carrying a small bucket in his hand, and the green piece in the barrel revealed a faint fragrance of lotus flowers.
"Know, know, I'll point out Xiaocui to you soon." Li Jing said nonchalantly. His mind has long been attracted by the lotus juice in front of him, ordinary soap can only be promoted to other places, but the soap is a tall place, it will face the dignitaries and nobles of the entire Great Song Dynasty, those famous prostitutes in the brothel of the Qinglou, etc., this is Li Jing's biggest weapon to make money. What woman doesn't want to be fragrant on her body, in this era, these women will soon find that in addition to fat powder, there is another thing that not only makes their bodies clean, but also has a variety of aromas, Li Jing believes that it will definitely attract many people.
Pieces of soap are formed in the mold, which indicates that the consistent and consistent money is placed in front of Li Jing, and Li Jing is allowed to grab it. A small bucket of lotus juice allowed Li Jing to get hundreds of pieces of soap. The soaps are placed in molds and dried before they can be actually sold, which takes about four days.
"Second brother, what are you busy with?" A gentle voice sounded under the attic, and then a soft voice was heard ascending the stairs, and it was Lancôme coming.
"It's nothing, hehe, go, big bull, let's go down." Li Jing looked at the soap in front of him, but no Lancôme came up, he was going to surprise Lancôme, naturally he didn't want to expose these things.
"You have been nesting in the attic for five days, how many times has the owner of the village said in front of me, saying that you have been slacking off in the past few days and have not practiced martial arts in the martial arts training ground." Lancôme stood on the stairs and glanced behind Li Jing, showing a trace of curiosity in his soft eyes, but he didn't say it, just glared at Li Jing and said, "If you don't practice martial arts again, I'm afraid that the Zhuang will personally settle accounts with you." ”
"Hehe, isn't that important! From tomorrow, I will practice martial arts seriously, hehe, Da Niu, you go back and inform Zhuang Ke, from tomorrow, this son will set up a ring in the martial arts training field, as long as he can survive ten moves under my hands, he will go to him for ten years of ginseng. Li Jing felt that he had a great future, so he naturally did not give up this good opportunity to attract people's hearts.
"Yes." Da Niu also laughed. Although he didn't know why Li Jing did this, he always believed that Li Jing must have a reason for doing this. Moreover, ten years of ginseng is not something that anyone can enjoy, even the villagers of Lijiazhuang.
"Second brother, you?" Lancôme's face changed slightly, and when she finally looked at Li Jing's appearance, she could only sigh deeply and didn't continue, since Li Jing had made a decision, she couldn't say anything as a sister-in-law.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, soon, we will have a lot of money, just rely on our family's food, how much money can we make, the things in Dulonggang may be priceless in the eyes of Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, but in the eyes of my Li Jing, it is nothing at all. You wait, it won't be long before our Li Jiazhuang is the richest man in the whole of Shandong. Li Jing couldn't help but hold Lancôme's jade hand and said, his eyes were shining, his face was resolute, but he was full of confidence.
"Okay, sister-in-law will wait and see." Feeling the momentum on Li Jing's body, Lancôme couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, maybe she was intimidated by Li Jing's momentum at the moment.
