The auspiciousness of the mascot Chapter 85 Chatting about the perfume factory
The glass factory can already produce in small batches, and most of the glass produced is used for the decoration of doors and windows of public buildings, and a small part is supplied to the mirror factory to make mirrors.
In order to highlight the importance of the two factories, Wang Xuan deliberately took two more elegant names, one is "Jixiang Radiance Glass Products Factory", the other is "Jixiang Perfect Mirror Factory", and the temporary person in charge of the two factories immediately placed an order to the stone processing factory to step up the production of factory names.
At the request of Wang Xuan, the molds of the glass factory have been updated, and small molds have been added, including heart-shaped, round, square, hexagonal, animal face and so on. The technicians of Furui Wood Products Factory have already lived in the glass factory, and in order to facilitate the handling of some technical problems in the processing of plates, they provide various reference opinions by the way to facilitate the selection of molds.
Wang Xuan has painted all the big, small and even strange-shaped mirrors he has seen, and the frame packaging is also designed in a variety of ways, how noble it is, this is a luxury, but also the only product, no matter how it is designed, it is unique.
The original plan of six factories is now only a perfume factory, and the remaining five have been successfully mass-produced, and the production capacity is gradually increasing.
On April 7th, Wang Xuan took Yang Tao to the Wang's distillery opposite Zhengxi Road, there is a vacant land of more than ten acres between the distillery and the Liuyin River, Wang Xuan plans to build the perfume factory here, once the new lord's mansion is completed, cross the Huanghe River to the door of the second factory, which is very convenient.
The distillery's production diary is very detailed, and the process and phenomenon of making koji are recorded in every time, including the number of days of fermentation, the color and taste of the sake, and everything is detailed. After all, he was born in the military, and his execution is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and his organization and discipline are good.
This is the second batch of new wine, the completion rate is 50%, twice as high as the first time, Wang Xuan is optimistic that there will be at most three more to produce in large quantities.
After visiting the distillery, the two came to the vacant land where the perfume factory was to be built, and after actually walking around, Wang Xuan said to Yang Tao: "How about this land?"
Yang Tao was stunned, under normal circumstances, Wang Xuan would not ask for his opinions and opinions, and his only duty was to protect Wang Xuan's safety. This sudden question caught him a little off guard, and after a moment of astonishment, he replied: "It's a good piece of land, if it is built into a hotel or something like that, it will definitely be able to sell it for a good price." ”
Listening to Yang Tao's true answer, Wang Xuan laughed hehehe, and seemed to be very satisfied with his straightforwardness. The location here is excellent, it can be said that every inch of land is expensive, no matter what is built, it will not be sold.
The reason why the perfume factory was built here is that it is close to the distillery and convenient for the transportation of raw materials, and second, there is a government council in the north and a lord's mansion in the south, so the security is very strong, and there is no worry about the theft of the recipe.
"Now whether it is the engineering corps, or the first and second bureaus of Jijian, there are construction tasks, and even private enterprises are busy with the construction of the second phase of the new city, and the construction of the perfume factory has to rely on ourselves. Wang Xuan looked at the land, his face full of anticipation.
"What, do you have confidence?" Seeing that Yang Tao didn't answer, Wang Xuan asked with interest.
"Back to the Lord, all of our 194 internal guards have the confidence and determination to build the perfume factory well!"
"If it is built well, then we will build the lord's mansion and everyone's barracks ourselves, and we will build it as comfortable as we want. "Wang Xuan has defined the construction of the lord's mansion, and asking himself to build it is not for everyone to bear hardships and stand hard work, on the contrary, this is a kind of trust and a kind of glory.
The new lord's mansion has not started construction so far not because there is no design plan, but because there are too many enterprises and groups that want to be built, Wang Xuan is unwilling to favor one over the other in the construction of his own house, and it is not good to snub anyone, after all, everyone is also kind. Even so, it is better to build it yourself, no one will be disadvantaged, no one can say no, and you can keep some architectural secrets to the greatest extent, which is really a strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
At this time, Yang Tao seemed to understand a little, and his gaze at Wang Xuan was a little complicated, more admiration. His predecessor is now the director of the Public Security Bureau in Jianye Town, holding great power and taking charge of the security of a town. He thought that following the Lord was the scenery in front of people, the vicissitudes of life after people, and he would live a trembling and trembling life like a tiger, but since he took over as the chief of the guard, he knew that his original thoughts were ridiculous, and even a little sad.
Red flame invasion, the lord was ordered to take over the auspicious in the year of Zhixue, retreat from the enemy's army, protect the coal mine, build a factory, develop industry, emphasize education, and be good at leading the people! He should have acted informally, lived casually, and enjoyed the scenery he deserved, but the fact was that he was rigorous in his actions, tough in style, and relied on his own strength to earn a large amount of gold coins, but he devoted himself to the development and construction of auspiciousness, what did he think about for himself? He didn't, he just didn't want to hurt the hearts of the builders, so he postponed the construction of the lord's mansion to this day......
At this moment, Yang Tao's nose was a little sour, and his heart suddenly rose with infinite reverence for Wang Xuan, this big boy who was just seventeen years old, with his slightly thin body, he carried the hope of 150,000 auspicious people.
Today's auspicious adults have something to do, children go to school, and even women and children have become the main contributors of the family's income.
What people are pursuing now is no longer to eat well and dress well, but whose children study well, who has been commended by the factory or even the government, who has become a 'technical expert', and who has been promoted by the leader...... All of this was brought to auspiciousness by the young man in front of him for a year and a half, and Wang Xuan at this time was like a giant in Yang Tao's mind, unattainable, except for admiration and loyalty.
"Got insects in your eyes?" Wang Xuan looked at Yang Tao with a strange expression.
"No, no. Yang Tao wiped his sleeves around his eyes indiscriminately, and smiled stupidly at Wang Xuan.
"Let's talk back to the office. After that, Wang Xuan took the lead in walking towards the Government Affairs Yuan, his pace was neither hurried nor slow, and his pace was steady.
Wang Xuan took out the factory drawings of the perfume factory from the drawer, spread them on the coffee table, and let Yang Tao look at them by himself, and explain the puzzles again.
Perfume is made of flavor and alcohol, alcohol is one of the best solvents for perfume, the best mixture, the best emission, of course, the fragrance time will be relatively short. The winery next door can produce about 95 degrees of alcohol, which can be used with all types of perfumes, and can also be used to extract rosette red pigment, with an extraction rate of about 7%, which can be used for food, beverages, alcohol, perfumes, soaps, etc.
Therefore, according to the current situation, the perfume factory must at least have flavor extraction equipment and blending equipment.
There are two methods of flavor extraction, water distillation and steam distillation. The difference between the two is that the former is suitable for aromatic plants planted in large areas, such as mint, citronella, eucalyptus leaves, etc., as well as for crushed dry raw materials, including wood chips and certain shade-dried flowers and plants, while the latter is suitable for fresh or pre-wet treated dry materials, such as white orchid leaves, orange leaves, and laurel leaves, which are smaller in size and diameter.
Wang Xuan uses the second distillation method, steam distillation.
To put it simply, it is the direct distillation of water steam, and the steam generated by a small boiler is passed into the pot for direct distillation. The steam is sprayed directly under the sieve plate and enters the raw material layer through the sieve hole of the sieve plate to heat the raw material.
Because the steam introduced into the small boiler has a certain pressure, the saturated steam with high temperature and low moisture content can quickly heat the material layer, therefore, when the dry material is heated and distilled, the dry material must be soaked and soaked before loading.
Direct steam distillation has a fast speed and high temperature, which can shorten the distillation time, and the components with high boiling point can be evaporated with high oil yield.
As for the mixing equipment, Wang Xuan plans to use a triangular bottle made of glass, with a small mouth and a wide bottom, which can well inhibit volatilization. It is not difficult to produce this kind of product, and after the mold is made, it can be obtained by "blowing".
In addition, in order to accurately measure the volume, it is also necessary to produce measuring cups, which requires each measuring tool to form a system with each other, and it is not necessary to be so accurate as two catties of water per liter.
The key to unified weights and measures is to be interconnected and interrelated, and the reference can be anything, the volume of two catties of water can be defined as one liter, or the volume of ten catties of water can be defined as one liter, and that's it.
Wang Xuan was accustomed to the metrics of later generations, so he basically copied the volume of the cellar porcelain wine bottles, and at the same time instructed the research institute to use this as a reference to formulate auspicious measurements.
As for the packaging, it must be made of glass products, so as to improve the grade and increase the price, and the production method is similar to that of the blended bottle, but the volume is smaller, once the measurement is determined, the glass factory will give priority to the supply of orders from the perfume factory.
As for the cap, it is made of beech, which is the same material as the wine bottle cap, which is a type of cork, which is perfect for corks. However, this kind of wood is relatively rare, mainly distributed in subtropical areas, and there are many in the north of Bactria .
From the composition of the blending materials of the perfume, it can be seen that its quality is determined by the quality of essential oils, the purity of alcohol, and the quality of added fragrances.
High-end perfume essential oils account for 30 percent and alcohol accounts for 95 percent, mid-range perfume essential oils account for 15 percent and alcohol accounts for 80 percent, and so on. Like toilet water, essential oils account for only 3 percent and alcohol accounts for 80 percent.
With auspicious existing conditions, essential oils can only do this to this extent, so the purity of the alcohol is even more important.
Generally speaking, the alcohol (ethanol) prepared by fermentation using grapes as raw materials is of the best quality and can be used to blend high-grade perfumes; the ethanol prepared by fermentation of grains is of second quality, which is suitable for the blending of medium and high-end perfumes; and the ethanol prepared by fermentation of potatoes and potatoes is much more complex, containing a certain amount of fusel oil, and it has to be refined.
In order to make a high-end perfume, you have to add about one thousandth of a high-grade fragrance, and after nearly a month of basement aging. Under auspicious conditions, only mid-range perfumes can be made, and if you can find musk or catch whales to get ambergris, it is possible to make high-end perfumes.
However, just a mid-range perfume is enough, and Wang Xuan's only concern is the lack of production capacity......
After Yang Tao looked at the drawings with a little embarrassment, Wang Xuan pointed to the drawings and introduced them to him one by one.
The first part of the drawing is an essential oil distillation workshop, with a warehouse, a small boiler, ceramic pipes, and several stoves. The steam produced by the heating of the small boiler enters the cooktop through ceramic pipes, where the raw materials inside are heated, and the essential oil mixture enters the utensils with the sealed pipes in the upper part.
The second part is the distilled water workshop, which is better to use distilled water for perfume blending, and distilled water can also be used for medical alcohol, but not for alcohol. Distilled water is pure, but it lacks various minerals and trace elements needed by human beings, and long-term drinking will cause damage to the body.
The third part is the blending workshop, where the raw materials are mixed and stirred according to the proportion, and then packaged into finished products.
The fourth part is the aging room, so it is necessary to build a small basement, and of course it is feasible to transport it to the underground of the Government Council for aging.
The fifth part is the finished product shipping packaging area, which is packaged in boxes, or ten bottles in a box, or six bottles in a box, all depending on the marketing strategy.
