Chapter 39: Propaganda
The mold is arranged, the salt and alkali are also bought, and the next thing is to find a room to use as a workshop, the backyard house is used as a room for everyone to sleep temporarily, and there is still a utility room that is basically full of things and a room for storing wine, the room where the wine is definitely not moved, so I had to re-clean up the utility room and barely separated out half of the handmade soap workshop when it came, in addition to giving Cui Mama a key to enter and exit the cleaning, Only Keke and Qingwan can enter and exit this utility room.
After the things in the workshop were cleaned up, I began to mix caustic soda, and after repeated experiments several times, I finally synthesized the qualified caustic soda in the right proportion, and then began to make formal handmade soap. The process is very simple: put the caustic soda in a clay pot, stir it and pour in the prepared melted lard, until the caustic soda completely dissolves the oil and turns it into a viscous soap before pouring it into a mold and waiting for it to be formed.
Two days later, the two now live together, when washing Keke took out the handmade soap that had been formed in the mold, looked at the soap body printed with Liu Gang's carved shape, yes, the shape is also very good, add some flower juice in the later stage, make soap soap of different colors, or add some flowers in it, and so on after the essential oil extraction, add some essential oil is more perfect, take it and look at it is very satisfied, said to Qingwan: "You go to the kitchen and dip some oil in a handkerchief!" โ
Qingwan didn't know what Keke wanted to do: "What do you do with oil?" โ
Keke: "You'll know later, go!" โ
After hearing this, Qingwan took the handkerchief and walked towards the kitchen, and soon came back with the oil-stained handkerchief, "Dipped, what are you doing with oil?" Qingwan asked again, only to see a large oil stain on the handkerchief.
He handed the handmade soap to Qingwan and said, "Use this to try a handkerchief." After handing the handmade soap to Qingwan, he said, "After the handkerchief is wet, apply some of this, and then you rub the handkerchief." โ
Qingwan watched Keke take out the things she had tinkered with before, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?" โ
Keke smiled and said: "This is something that can make us a lot of money, it is called soap, it can be bathed, it is better than soap beans, it can also wash clothes, and it is very clean." After you wet the handkerchief, apply soap and rub it again. โ
Qingwan was also interested when she heard it, so she immediately walked into the toilet, walked to the sink, turned on the water pipe, and after drenching the handkerchief, she smeared the soap that Keke said in her mouth, and began to rub the handkerchief after wiping it. โ
Keke also saw the foam on Qingwan's hand and said, "Foam will appear during the scrubbing process, just rinse the foam when you finish rubbing." โ
Qingwan did as she said, and after rubbing it a few more times, she opened the water pipe to rinse the foam. After rinsing the foam, look at the handkerchief, the handkerchief is clean and clean, and there is no oil stain at all. "Keke, this thing is so easy to use! You see, the veil is clean, and there is no oil at all. After that, he wrung out the handkerchief and opened it for Keke to see.
"I remember it right!" Keke said, and then continued: "I learned this method and wine in my dreams. โ
After hearing this, Qingwan said: "If there are any other good things, we will make them, so that we will not be able to make a lot of money in the future!" When we go back in the future, we can stone them to death with money! โ
After listening to Qingwan's heroic words, Keke had the idea of letting people use money to smash me, why did this girl become so arrogant now? If Qingwan knew Keke's thoughts, she would definitely reply to her: It's not what you're used to. "I'll think about it more in the future, but now this thing can make us a lot of money! Let's get this done first and then talk about the rest. โ
Qingwan: "Okay, let's do this well first, and then think about other things when we make money." โ
On the second day, Keke took Qingwan to start making handmade soap.
In the room, Keke explained while doing it, and every step was explained in detail to Qingwan.
Qingwan listened carefully and followed the work in her hands. Half an hour later, Keke said, "Okay, bring the mold and pour the soap into the mold!" After pouring, put it in a ventilated place and wait for it to dry before use. Keke poured the clay pots in his hand into the molds of different shapes.
After listening to this, Qingwan walked over with a clay pot, and slowly tilted the mouth of the clay pot against the mold so that the soap in the jar would flow out slowly, and then moved to another mold after pouring one until the soap in the jar was poured.
"That's it! What else to do? He asked after pouring the soap.
"Just leave it like this, and when the water in the soap is dried, you can take it out and put it in the shop to sell!" Keke replied, it's too slow, you have to simplify the process, the best is the division of labor, assembly line operation, but you can't be in a hurry, when the house is repaired, the reputation of the shop has begun, just build a workshop in the village, you can ask the village people to specialize in extracting caustic soda, and your own people will do the next steps, so that not only to speed up production, but also to make money in the village.
"How many days are you going to dry?" Qingwan asked again
"It depends on the weather, it's not too cold now, it's fine in two days!" Keke said.
"That's it, can you really make soap?" Qingwan still asked in disbelief after following Kekexue, looking at the sticky soap liquid thing in the mold that was screamed by Keke, it was really difficult to compare with the somewhat hard and slippery soap used before.
"Haven't you used it?" Keke directly gave Qingwan a roll of the eyes.
Qingwan also knew that she was a little ignorant of asking like this, she had used it, and it was so easy to use, she wiped it and gently scrubbed it, and the oil-stained handkerchief became clean! I just think it's amazing and it's not complicated to do! Hehe, hey, who doesn't understand? Something that is a hundred times better than soap beans is actually made in this way, Miss is too smart now, she understands everything, and thinking about the misunderstanding that she was a ghost before, she grinned again, and looked at Keke stupidly, such a young lady is so good! The two of them continued to do it again, and Qingwan slowly mastered the essentials after repeating it several times, and became more and more proficient in doing it, until the lime bought back from the county was used up, and the two had to stop, and in the future, the lime would have to buy more at one time and come back to prepare, looking at the house was already full of molds filled with soap, if you do more, the house can't be put down, and after thinking about it, she said to Qingwan: "Wait until tomorrow to buy more lime in the county and come back, and then put some salt and alkali together in the jade realm, In the future, we will try to do as much as possible in the Jade Realm, this house is too small! Here, just do a little less every day and be a cover. โ
"Good!" Of course, Qingwan also prefers to stay in the Jade Realm, as Keke said, this room is too small. And now when I do this, I do it in the house after closing the doors and windows, and the house is inevitably a little dark, not to mention the big place in the jade realm, and it is more comfortable to stay inside.
During this period, after buying back some lime, according to the ideas of the two, they put some lime and salt alkali in the jade realm, and more often in the jade realm.
A month later, under the non-stop production of the two of them day and night, a lot of soap had been stockpiled, and special bottles for wine were also sent back. Xiangge and Yanfei Winery have also been renovated according to their own ideas and are ready to open. Xiangkaku is a handicraft store that sells soap and other handicrafts to obtain the name of the store, and Yanfei Wine Shop, it goes without saying, is a shop that sells alcohol. The decoration style of Xiangge refers to the modern style, exquisite and chic, the walls of the house are pasted with white cotton cloth as wallpaper, and after the cotton cloth is dry, someone is invited to spend a few plum blossoms on it to decorate, and the ground is paved with a large neat bluestone floor. At the same time, there are two round tables in the house, equipped with stools of different shapes, for those who come to buy soap to rest, all according to the requirements of modern boutiques, so that the ladies and ladies who come to buy can show their noble status and buy more happily. The price of handmade soap without any fragrance is 500 copper coins a piece, and the price of a floral fragrance is set at 800 copper coins a piece, close to one tael of silver. For the time being, there are only these two, and when the essential oil is made in the future, it will be sold for one or two pieces of silver if the essential oil is added. The decoration of the wine shop is generally similar to that of the Xiang Pavilion, the neat bluestone slab floor, the neat wall cloth is based on the poet Taibai's drinking posture, a painting was made, and two famous poems were added, in addition to the backyard was transformed into a small tavern, you can drink and taste poetry in the backyard, of course, the poems are borrowed from some famous teachers accumulated in China for five thousand years. It's just that the tavern in the backyard of the wine shop is still being built, and when the furniture is finished, it can welcome guests.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the next thing is to promote and build momentum before the opening, and I also thought of a plan on weekdays, that is, to hold a poetry competition in the name of Yanfei Winery Shop. There must be some economic foundation for families who can study, and although there are also poor students, there are very few in this barren and backward era. Only with the right consumer group can it be conducive to the sale of wine. Moreover, since ancient times, wine and poetry have been loved by literati and scholars, and there is a poet Li Bai in ancient times: I only hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden bottle. There is also a bold famous sentence of Qin Shen: You can laugh a few times in your life, and you must get drunk when you meet in a wine fight. Even in modern times, there are all kinds of beautiful sentences about wine, and I still remember one sentence: life is like a glass of strong wine, without refining it repeatedly, it will not be so delicious.
Finally, there is the preparation of the prize for the competition, one is to prepare the prize money, and the other is of course wine. There is also the location of the competition, the place of the competition should first consider the place is large, and the flow of people should be more, it is best to be a place where the rich and noble people often go, the first thing that comes to mind is the ancient characteristics of the green building, but after thinking about it, it is denied, although the people who go to that place are rich people, although the publicity effect will not be bad, but it will lower the brand, and it is easy to cause some official ladies and ladies to dislike. Then there are restaurants and inns, these two can be discussed, but they are more inclined to restaurants, because the conversation is good, the restaurant itself can also sell some wine, killing two birds with one stone, after making up your mind, you are ready to find the best restaurant in the countyโโโโ Taihe Building.
