The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer
"Dissolve the caustic soda with water and stir until the water becomes transparent. Note www.biquge.info do not get caustic soda on the skin during the stirring process. ”
The specific process of making soap, Qin Haoming asked Qin Laosan to operate, and he carefully guided him by the side.
The manufacture of soap is fairly simple, as long as there is caustic soda, grease and water. In later generations, it is the plaything of many children, commonly known as handmade soap.
"Stir while adding oil, and after the caustic soda is completely dissolved, you can start to focus on stirring the soap until it is viscous."
"Fangxi, Youxing, you also come along, and ask questions at any time if you don't understand."
Qin Haoming was in a pretty good mood, as if he saw the rolling wealth coming in response to his beckoning.
This is to be expected, washing clothes in the Ming Dynasty was a very time-consuming physical task, especially dirty clothes.
So there are two things that are necessary for washing clothes, a small bench and a laundry stick.
The countryside is better, and by the river and stream, women and girls beat their clothes repeatedly with wooden sticks, and then wash them with running water, so that they can barely wash them clean.
However, in the city, it is a lot of trouble, a wooden basin, the skin of the hands is worn out, and it may not be able to be cleaned, but in any case, the damage to the clothes is very large, and the decontamination effect is not good.
I believe that with the advent of laundry soap, all these problems will be solved.
Of course, bath soap was also available at the same time as laundry soap.
Butter and camellia oil are both important raw materials for making soap, the difference is that the soap produced from butter is used for washing and decontamination, and Qin Haoming calls it laundry soap.
The camellia oil is used for personal hygiene and cleaning, and is called bath soap. One vegetable oil, one animal oil.
Unlike camellia oil, which was rendered at a high price in later generations, it was the most common farmhouse oil in this era, and there were dozens of plants in front of and behind the mountains in every household in the Jiangnan area.
Butter and lard, on the contrary, were more expensive and belonged to the rich and noble, which was the opposite of later generations.
Barrels of yellow, translucent solid-liquid mixture, neatly arranged.
Qin Haoming found that the wooden barrel was not customized enough, and it only took half a day to fill all the wooden barrels.
It just so happens that the saponification reaction also takes time, so I ask someone to cover the barrel and leave it untouched for one to two days. At this time, the liquid creates a chemical reaction in the large wooden barrel and cannot be touched by hand.
Zhang Yun stared at the dozen or so large wooden barrels stupidly, and from beginning to end, he didn't see what was so magical about the things that his brother said were worth ten thousand gold?
In addition, this process is too simple, even children can do it!
Practice has proved that invention and creation are just a layer of paper that has not been pierced!
The paper broke, and all the aura of mystery was gone.
asked Zhang Yun to add a little more raw materials, mainly because of the large amount of grease used, and the large wooden barrels had to be purchased again.
This time, Qin Haoming made a much faster move, and bought dozens of large wooden barrels in one go, which was convenient for recycling.
Two days later, Qin Haoming cut the soap formed in the wooden barrel into appropriate size squares and placed it in a ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight, which took more than a month.
As for cutting the leftover scraps, it is the easiest to re-make them again.
In this way, all the production processes are finished.
packed a little leftovers and took them home, Qin Haoming instructed everyone to continue making.
Although it is not on the market, the workshop cannot be stopped, at least the supply must be sufficient.
"Young master, this is absolutely unacceptable, hurry up and put it down, let the old slave come to this little thing."
Fu Bo saw Qin Haoming rolling up his sleeves, wiping the stove with a rag, and where was the dirtiest to wipe the most, he hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the rag in his hand.
"Don't be impatient, you don't know what I'm going to do, look at it."
Qin Haoming smiled and stopped the old man's movements, wiped it almost completely, and wiped the black paint on the stove door.
Suddenly, the originally greasy rag turned black.
Fu Bo Zhang Yun glanced at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine Young Master Qin was selling.
"Don't you wonder what the objects in the workshop are for? Today comes the time to reveal. ”
Qin Haoming held the black and greasy rag in his hand and said to the two proudly.
In the past few days, Qin Haoming has not told anyone about the role of soap, including Fu Bo and Zhang Yun.
Just keep letting the workshop produce, Fubo is responsible for supervision, and Zhang Yun acts as a purchasing staff.
There is a well in the backyard of the Qin family, the well water is clear and sweet, warm in winter and cool in summer.
Qin Haoming took a bucket to get water, moved a small low stool, pulled through the small wooden basin, poured the well water into the basin, and threw the dirty and greasy rag into the basin, and the oil stains and dirt immediately spread along the water.
Things have been done here, Fu Bo and Zhang Yun understand a little, dare to love this thing called soap is equivalent to the function of soap!
Due to the short time, the leftover soap has not yet hardened, and some are soft, but it does not affect its function.
Qin Haoming cut off a section, evenly wiped it on the rag, and a pair of big hands scrubbed and rubbed it vigorously, and the whole rag burst out of a lot of white foam, expanding into a large mass of white and black, and under the sunlight, you can vaguely see colorful colors.
Zhang Yun and Fu Bo looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, more than a dozen soaphorns could not produce so much foam, even the soaphorn cream used by rich and noble families was impossible.
Fauber is old, long past the age of fuss at every turn. But Zhang Yun couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and shouted: "Brother get out of the way, little brother come and try." ”
Qin Haoming smiled slightly, stood up and gave up his position to Zhang Yun, who was in a hurry, and the results below were already clear.
Zhang Yun sat down excitedly and rubbed the rag vigorously, the silky soap bubbles made the rag slippery and greasy, and it felt very good.
Zhang Yun didn't have much patience, soaked the rag in water and scrubbed it vigorously, the gray dirt and greasy were all dissolved in the water, but the broken rag in his hand had basically returned to its original cyan, and it was dry, and there was no greasy discomfort.
Zhang Yun changed the water with his hands and feet and washed it again, and the whole rag was already clean and refreshing with a faint soapy fragrance.
"Good thing, a hundred times better than soaphorn cream. Brother, I think the bath soap that comes to our workshop must be much better than Zhu Ling. ”
After all, Zhang Yun is still young, and he can't help but dance and have fun when he sees this good thing, after all, this is their family's thing.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were only soaphorns or pig lings for hair washing and bathing.
Zhu Ling is used by wealthy people, Zhu Ling adds some spices, and there will be a relatively strong aroma after use, and ordinary people use soapcorn.
"Of course, it's a hundred times better!"
Qin Haoming is not modest and full of confidence. There's no contrast at all, it's just a spike!
"Young Master, what is the price of this thing?"
Fauber finally couldn't hold back his excitement and asked.
I was really frightened by the speed at which the young master spent money, I saw it in my eyes, I was anxious in my heart, and I didn't get a good night's sleep for many days.
Both of them were about to run out, but the old man saw no hope.
"At least twenty wen a piece, and the soaphorn paste costs fifteen wen, and the number of uses is much less than ours."
Zhang Yun expressed his opinion in a timely manner and analyzed the reasons.
The elder brother has an undecided heart, and there is often a haunt and a haunt, who knows when the nerd will get angry and treat money like dung again, what can he and Fu Bo do with him?
Fauber obviously had this in mind, and hurriedly asked; "Second Young Master, how much do you calculate the cost?"
