Chapter 1173: My Traveler Grandson is a Little Stupid (11)
Wen Fu had no objection to his mother's request, so he immediately nodded in agreement:
"Well, that's fine.
However, mother, I want to get some new flavors in this experiment, and you also know that spices and other things are very expensive, and it is normal for some waste to go wrong in the experiment, so, what is that, can you fund me a little money.
Don't worry, I won't take it for nothing.
If the new scented handmade soap is made, I will give you two percent of the profit, which is definitely a ......."
"Alright, you kid don't blow it anymore.
How much do you want, you can go back to the account yourself, and you don't need to report to me if it's less than two hundred taels, and the spices in my private treasury are also available to you, anyway, it's still there.
After a long time, you may still have worms.
Don't mention it to me if it's not profitable, I'm just you, and it's not all yours when you look back.
Go back to the house and rest for a while, you still have to go to class in the afternoon, and I have to tell your father the news, so that he won't look at you all day long. ”
Wen Hushi interrupted her son, and after two more words, she got up and left, and she planned to go and talk to her husband about today's events, and about her son's fact that he had memorized all the Four Books and Five Classics, which was definitely a great joy for the family.
So how can you not share it?
And in this way, it can also make her husband look at her son a little more pleasing to the eye, saving her from having nothing to pick all day long, and the father and son are always-for-tat.
Needless to say, the days that followed.
It is nothing more than continuing to research and learn.
However, the difficulties encountered by Wenfu in this in-depth research are much more difficult than those encountered in the original handmade soap at the beginning.
First of all, there is the issue of taste.
The taste of the handmade soap itself.
The new scented handmade soap he wants to make is some relatively light scent, or milk soap with goat's milk and the like, and wants to make these scents, the original, unscented handmade soap, preferably the real odorless, or the original handmade soap with a very light taste.
But this alone is very difficult.
Because at present, the raw materials used in his handmade soap are mainly lard, mutton fat, butter or soybean oil, cotton and sesame oil and other oils, and they are relatively primitive, without any deodorization and sterilization treatment, the taste of these oils themselves is relatively strong, so the handmade soap itself will also have a strong unique taste of the oil itself, such as the taste of lard, the beany smell of soybean oil, and so on.
When making milk soap, even if he has put a lot of milk into it, or has put a lot of goat's milk into it, it can't cover up the various oily smells of the handmade soap itself.
In addition, at this time, the milk and goat's milk themselves also have a certain fishy smell, and the taste of the two flavors mixed together is simply a sublimation.
Sublimated in a more unpleasant direction.
Wenfu, who had never been exposed to relevant knowledge, had no idea that milk directly squeezed from sheep or cows would smell so bad, and he didn't know that oils such as soybean oil that had not been industrially processed would smell so bad.
The combination of these circumstances directly led to the fact that Wenfu had not had time to start thinking about making various essential oils, and he was already facing technical barriers.
For a long time after that, he was trying to collect other oils that tasted a little lighter, or had little to no taste.
And constantly add almonds and other things that have been circulated on the Internet before, and find ways to get rid of the unpleasant smell in cow's milk and goat's milk.
These are still quite difficult things.
After all, Wen Fu knew almost nothing about this knowledge, and at that time, all kinds of light-tasting oils could be bought everywhere, such as coconut oil and melon seed oil.
But now he can't even find the melon seeds.
Not to mention coconuts.
The same is true for cow's goat's milk, in the past, he could buy the processed milk goat's milk directly from the store, and there was no smell at all, but now in the face of the original cow and goat's milk, there was really nothing he could do.
Qiao Mu has always been very concerned about her grandson, a traverser, watching him toss hard for a month, nothing tossed out, the money is wasted a lot, and he feels anxious when he looks at it on the side, plus considering that her eldest son is going to the capital this year to report on his work, if the new fragrance handmade soap can be made before her eldest son goes to the capital to report on work, then she can also take a batch to the capital to save some travel expenses and make some money.
Therefore, in the end, she couldn't help but transfer the original method of deodorizing grease and the method of removing the smell of cow milk and goat's milk to her eldest grandson through the hands of an old craftsman in the fragrant pancreas workshop, and also sent the small bronze distillation equipment from the former Han Dynasty that she had collected in her inner library.
It doesn't work out if he goes back and gets essential oils.
When the time comes, you have to toss and waste time.
Since the arbor was handed over to her grandson by the hands of a craftsman, Winfu did not have any doubts, but was a little surprised that there was already a technology to deodorize grease and a still that could perform small, inefficient distillation.
Then I began to concentrate on deodorizing the oil.
And by the way, improve the distillation utensils.
As well as tackling the problem of essential oil production.
This time it wasn't a big problem, as Winfu had previously helped his girlfriend make her own essential oils.
Although nowadays the equipment is not good.
But he still understands the general principle.
Therefore, after several failures, he quickly solved the problem of essential oils, and successfully made five flower-type essential oils, three fruit-type essential oils, and a grass-type essential oil.
Flower essential oils are mainly osmanthus essential oil, jasmine essential oil, gardenia essential oil, magnolia essential oil and clove essential oil, which are more common on the market.
Fruit-based essential oils are mainly citrus such as oranges.
Only the peel of citrus fruits is relatively easy to extract essential oils, and the content of essential oils of other fruits is extremely fine, even modern industries are difficult to extract pure essential oils, and it is even more impossible to extract them with primitive equipment at this time.
As for grass-based essential oils, there is only one kind.
That's peppermint essential oil.
The essential oil here has been extracted, and the method of expelling the original taste of handmade soap has finally been cracked, and the next fusion is naturally not a problem, and it has not yet reached the end of the second month as originally said, to be precise, it was not long before the middle of the month, Wenfu successfully produced nine new flavored handmade soaps and two milk soaps.
And he showed it to his mother.
At this moment, even Wen Hu couldn't be picky, so he could only agree to Wenfu's request to make it in batches and return to sell new scented handmade soaps.
After all, she is not stupid, she can make money 100%, why refuse?
