Chapter 11 Contemplating a House
Jinling City, among the streets. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hua Shen did not immediately return to the small courtyard after coming out of the Lin Mansion, but turned around on the street, although he asked the Lin family to prepare the materials for making soap and medicinal soap, but after all, he himself had not made handmade soap and medicinal soap, and his heart was not very bottom, what he relied on was nothing more than the information in his computer, how to convert the text data into actual products, he felt that it was more reliable to make it first.
If you want to make soap, he can make sulfur soap first, this kind of soap is very simple, as long as you add some sulfur to the original soap, there is no big technical difficulty, but if you want to make soap, it is a little troublesome, because if you want to make soap, you will inevitably add some glycerin, in this way, the soap will not only have a fragrance, but also because of the water-retaining effect of glycerin, the skin of the person who has used the soap will become smooth and delicate, and it will also avoid the skin being too dry due to the alkalinity of the original soap.
Glycerin does not need to be prepared additionally, the saponification reaction in the process of making soap can produce a mixed solution of glycerin and salt water, and then as long as the soap base obtained after salting out can be taken out to obtain their mixed solution, but the problem is that if you want to extract glycerol from this mixed solution, you must carry out high-temperature distillation operations, in this simple environment, Hua Shen really has no good way to get a set of distillation devices.
Hua Shen thought about it, and finally felt that in this era when even glass was a rare thing, it was really unreliable to get a set of distillation equipment for glass products, and it seemed that he could only make a set of iron first, and see if there was any way to make some glass in the future, or customize some porcelain distillation equipment and replace it.
Thinking of this, he no longer wasted time, but bought some tea bricks back, he was going to make some tea-flavored soap for the verification experiment of soap making, this is not that he has any special feelings for tea, but for a while, this tea-flavored soap is the quickest and easiest item he can think of.
After he bought the things, he went back to the small courtyard of the Lin family, returned to his room to find a piece of paper, and drew a drawing of the distillation equipment on the paper, this thing is very simple, simpler than the distillation equipment of later generations, because of the limited conditions, some things that should have been designed can not be designed, such as the thermometer, which should be a very important part, but at this time it has to be omitted, fortunately, the evaporation temperature difference between glycerin and water is relatively large, and the problem should not be too big if the worker controls the temperature by himself, the key is to control the heat.
After he had drawn the drawings, he double-checked them several times, and when he made sure that there was nothing wrong, he put them aside, and then checked his computer, and he wanted to get some soaps with various floral scents, but he seemed to have them in the future, but they were very difficult in the present - either they could not be implemented, or they were very inefficient and costly, which made him very depressed.
But after thinking about it, doesn't the Ming Dynasty also have a variety of flavors of rouge gouache? Thinking that the Ming Dynasty still has its own way to make things with various fragrances, it is better to throw this matter to the mother and daughter of the Lin family to do it, and then he only needs things, regardless of the law, won't he have the best of both worlds? So he began to write a list of various materials that Lin Fu needed to prepare for him, such as various scented spices, sulfur, various Chinese herbs for treating skin diseases, and so on.
Hua Shen looked at the full page and smiled secretly, quite a young brother learned a lot of traditional Chinese characters because of learning Japanese, but he didn't expect that now he used it in the Ming Dynasty.
At the dinner table, Hua Shen said to Zhang Laosan while eating:
"Third Uncle Zhang, I'm going to buy a house in this city, in terms of size, as long as it's about the same size as this yard, by the way, it's best to have a backyard, after all, it's not convenient for me to always live with you, first, I always feel embarrassed to disturb your father and daughter, and second, this yard is not yours after all, although the Lin family didn't say anything, but I still want to move out as soon as possible, so I want to ask Uncle Zhang, how many silver taels do you need to buy a yard like this?"
"If there is such a courtyard, in a better part of the city, why will it cost two or three thousand taels of silver, and the specific amount will have to be negotiated with the person who sold the house."
Zhang Laosan said with a sigh of relief.
"How much? Two or three thousand taels? ”
Hua Shen, who was chopping rice, almost didn't squirt out the rice, I didn't expect that the housing prices in the Ming Dynasty were so expensive, and I thought that the 18,000 taels of silver in my hand should be able to afford one, it seems to be a bit taken for granted, I originally wanted to buy a room with two rooms, or temporarily transform it into a laboratory or warehouse, if that's the case, then I can only buy a smaller one.
Hua Shen was pondering here, but Xiao Yu spoke: "Brother Hua, Mrs. Lin is not that kind of person, don't say that Brother Hua and Mrs. Lin still have to do business together, but no, Mrs. Lin's kind character will not drive you away." ”
"Oh?"
I can't be sure if this Mrs. Lin is kind to Hua Shen, but I Hua Shen gave you such a big share of the Lin family's unique business, and let so many profits to your Lin family, I think your Lin family should also give some blood to show that it is not?
Hua Shen smiled in his heart and decided to hack the small courtyard of the Lin family, so that he would be hard to live in, right? Since he had this idea, he no longer mentioned the matter of buying a house, and immediately said to Xiaoyu:
"What Xiao Yu'er said is reasonable, today I see that Mrs. Nalin is also a kind-hearted person, so I will be cheeky to live here for a while longer."
Zhang Laosan saw that his daughter was a big brother on the left and a big brother on the right, and that Hua Shen was also a little jade on the left and a little jade on the right.
Hua Shen didn't pay attention to Zhang Laosan's look and thoughts, put down the dishes and chopsticks, said that he had eaten, and then went to the place where the soap was placed, the soap had been set, and there was indeed the aroma of tea, he nodded with satisfaction, and cut off a piece of leftovers with his hand, got some oil on his hands, and washed it in the basin, the effect was not bad, the decontamination ability was absolutely fine, and the washed hands could also leave some faint tea fragrance.
He was very satisfied with this soap experiment, as long as some glycerin was added, then the soap would be completely perfect, as for the iron filtration equipment for distilling glycerin, it would be better to leave it to the Lin family to do, well, these things will be explained to the beautiful Mrs. Lin tomorrow.
