As soon as Hua Shen came out of the room, he saw Xiao Yu washing clothes in the courtyard, so he smiled and waved at Xiao Yu and said, "Miss Xiao Yu, good morning." ”

Xiao Yu's face turned red, and he quickly stood up and said to him, "Childe is good." ”

"You don't need to call me a son, besides, what kind of son am I, just call me Brother Hua in the future."

"Flowers, flowers...

Hua Shen smiled with satisfaction and responded: "Yesterday I heard your father talk about the work you did in the Lord's house, are these the clothes you want to wash today?" ”

"Brother Hua, these clothes don't have to be washed today, the main family knows that my father and I are working hard, so generally these tasks are allowed to be completed within three or five days."

Hua Shen's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this! That's right! Why didn't you think of it? The generous Zhang Laosan of the main family has been talking non-stop, but he has never thought about it, this is really in response to the sentence of riding a horse to find a horse! It's stupid to die for.

It's just that it is not known what the situation of the main family is now, whether it is a merchant or an official family, and besides, Zhang Laosan and Miss Xiaoyu are just the subordinates they took in after all, and they may not have such a deep understanding of the character of the main family.

However, thinking that the little jade girl had a lot of contact with the main family, she must know more about this main family than her father, so it is better to talk to her well.

Hua Shen thought of this and said to Xiaoyu: "Miss Xiaoyu, I heard your father say that the master family you work for is generous, but I don't know what the situation is in your master's family?" ”

"Brother Hua, it's really admirable to talk about this master's family, even when it comes to my master's family in our entire Jinling City, everyone admires it."

"Oh? So powerful? ”

"Well, the main family's surname is Lin, and the generations have been operating cloth villages for a living, and the head of the Lin family has expanded his ancestral business a lot, and even set up branches in the northern border towns, but unfortunately in the past few years, the head of the Lin family happened to encounter the Mongols attacking the border when he went to the north to deal with affairs, and was shot and killed by the rebels on the way to escape." Speaking of this, Xiaoyu sighed.

"Because Mr. Lin did not leave a man before his death, there is only one Mrs. Lin and a pair of daughters under her knees in the family, so Mrs. Lin has to shoulder the burden of running the entire Lin family, although Mrs. Lin has not been able to expand the Lin family's industry again over the years, but it is not easy for her to maintain the big family business left by Mr. Lin before, and Mrs. Lin must have suffered a lot over the years."

Hua Shen was happy when she heard this: "Little Jade girl, now that you have only been in the Lin Mansion for more than three months, why do you say these things as if you have seen them with your own eyes?" ”

Xiao Yu saw that Hua Shen doubted Mrs. Lin, and immediately said anxiously: "Brother Hua, I may have only heard about Mrs. Lin's previous affairs, but since I entered the Lin Mansion, what I have seen every day is true, and now the eldest lady of the Lin family has been in her teenth year, and she has slowly taken over the business of the Lin family with Mrs. Lin, and even began to run around various state capitals to coordinate the relationship between the four parties, for such Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin, I am very admirable, if I have their ability to do one-tenth or two, I don't always need to let my father drink gruel, Eat pickles. ”

"In this way, Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin are really admirable, but I don't know how they do business?"

"I don't know this very well, I just heard those old people in the Lin Mansion say that Mrs. Lin pays attention to credibility and fairness in business, no matter who she does with, and no matter whether the other party's business is big or small, Mrs. Lin treats it as an equal, that is, she does not give privileges to big businessmen, nor oppresses small businessmen, and has always adhered to the principle of honesty and trustworthiness to do business with businessmen everywhere." Xiaoyu said very adoringly.

When Hua Shen heard this, she couldn't help but muttered to herself, no wonder this Mrs. Lin can keep the family business but can't do the big business, so it's strange that the business philosophy is big, but judging from her business style in recent years, she should be a reliable partner, if she is really okay in integrity, then she can simply be said to be the best partner.

"Miss Xiaoyu, please help me buy some lard and come back in a while, and buy more vegetables by the way, as for the rest of the money, you will keep it on your body, and you will have the living expenses in the future, and ask me again when you don't spend it, don't be afraid to spend money, you also know that you spend big brother now not bad for this little money."

Hua Shen said as he handed Xiao Yu five taels of silver, and patted his chest again, very arrogant.

Xiao Yu sneered when she heard this, and said, "Brother Hua, don't laugh, although you have a lot of silver taels, but these five taels are not small money, how can it not be bad?" ”

Hua Shen didn't expect that this little girl who looked soft and weak would choke on people, so she had to cough and say, "As long as you talk a lot, go and help me buy things and come back." ”

Xiao Yu blushed and didn't say a word, turned around briskly and trotted all the way out of the yard, in which Hua Shen seemed to be faintly able to hear some suppressed pleasant laughter.

After taking Xiaoyu away, Hua Shen stood in the courtyard and thought about it carefully, thinking that this Mrs. Lin might be a good partner, but in the end, whether it is really reliable or not has to be contacted first, in this case, it is better to make a batch of soap and discuss with her to explore the bottom.

I hope this Mrs. Lin who fell from the sky will not disappoint.

Hua Shen made a decision, so he went back to his room, took out his notebook, and reviewed the process of making soap.

The modern process of preparing soap (i.e., soap base) is mainly to add caustic soda solution to animal and vegetable oil for heating for saponification reaction, and then precipitate soap with saturated salt water.

Caustic soda can be used, the modern process mainly uses the electrolytic saturated brine method, but in the current era without electricity, Hua Shen wants to use this method can only use his mobile power supply, although in principle, his power supply is just in line with the requirements of electrolytic saline, but he really doesn't want to risk damaging these power supplies to do this, so this method is a flash in his head, and he didn't continue to think about it at all. After all, every mobile power supply is a very valuable asset for him now, and he can't use this thing to make caustic soda to use this thing for electrolysis, so he can only use the soil method to solve it.

If the soil method is used, then the only way to use the plant ash solution instead of caustic soda for saponification reaction, and then use saturated salt water to precipitate soap, and finally finalize it is done.

Hua Shen reviewed the steps of making soap again, he had to make sure that he did it the first time, he didn't want to make it the first time since the Ming Dynasty.

But don't look at Hua Shen so seriously, but the preliminary steps of making soap are very simple, just like making this plant ash solution, just pick out some plant ash in the stove, then mix it with water and stir it thoroughly, and then filter it a few times after clarification.
