Chapter 6 Development of soap
Jia Cong moved all the things he took back from the kitchen to the hut next to him, gave Wangcai a holiday, and asked the crescent moon to go outside to guard and not let people in, and then closed the door alone and tinkered inside.
I have to be careful, Jia Cong himself doesn't dare to guarantee that the crescent moon and Wangcai are not 100% loyal to him. After all, his status is too poor, and he has no future with him, if he has the opportunity to make a lot of money, no one will not be tempted, and it is easy to be bought.
The main reason is that the production process of soap is relatively simple, as long as you know the formula, you can do it by anyone, and the appearance of soap in history is also a coincidence.
Legend has it that there was an apprentice blacksmith who accidentally got grease into the fire that had just been extinguished while working, and the grease was flammable.
The grease stuck to his hands, and it was difficult to clean it with water, so when the apprentice washed his hands, he found that there was a lot of white foam on his hands, and all the grease on his hands was washed clean.
Then, it was found that the grease and plant ash had condensed hard lumps, which had a particularly strong decontamination ability, and the soap appeared.
Jia Cong didn't want to be picked up by others as soon as he got it out.
As the saying goes, if the machine is not secret, it will be harmful, and there is no big mistake in being careful.
Jia Cong marked the ten bowls, placed them on the ground in turn, took out a spoon and scooped a spoonful of flour soda, put it in the No. 1 bowl, then scooped two spoons of vegetable oil, poured it into the No. 1 bowl, and then began to stir evenly, and then waited for the saponification.
Then put the remaining nine bowls, according to different proportions, put in the ingredients, stir well, and then wait for the saponification to solidify, and the soap is ready.
Although Jia Cong knows the method and material of soap, he does not know the correct proportion of materials, so he can only use this stupid method to change the proportion of materials again and again, and experiment again and again until the most suitable material ratio is selected.
In the past few days since Jia Cong came, he also discovered that there is already soap in the world of Red Mansions, and there is also soap, but it is made of soap horns, soap beans, and some other substances.
The process and workmanship are very general, and those soaps are also unsatisfactory, and the soap they have used cannot be compared, and the soap made by their own formula should be much stronger than the current use.
As for better soaps, as well as soaps, it is up to you to slowly research and improve them in the future, and now the first step is to find the right formula.
After making all ten materials, waiting for the saponification, Jia Cong walked out of the door, took the door with him, and waited for tomorrow morning to come and see.
"Third Young Master, what are you doing mysteriously in the house?"
The crescent moon saw Jia Cong coming out of the house, ran over and asked curiously.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The secret, you will know it tomorrow, but this matter can't be told to anyone, only the two of us can know, can you do it?" ”
Crescent nodded solemnly and said, "Third Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone." ”
The little girl was too curious, she almost turned around three times in a step, and followed Jia Cong back to the main house, it is estimated that she will not sleep well tonight.
It's not just the little girl who can't sleep, but there is also a person who can't sleep even if his heart is burning, and this person is Mrs. Xing.
At this time, Mrs. Xing was also walking around the house, but she couldn't calm down, remembering what Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu said in the afternoon, and couldn't wait to know the result.
"Ma'am, I'm back."
Mrs. Xing was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked hurriedly, "How is it?" Have you made inquiries clearly? What is the result? ”
It turned out that Mrs. Xing was not good at going by herself, so she sent the maid to the old lady to inquire about the news, and after the maid got the news, she ran back to report.
"Madam, I heard that Second Master Bao fell jade again, but I was told by Miss Lin. Later, the old lady asked Miss Lin to live in the Bisha cupboard, and Bao Erye wanted to live outside the Bisha cupboard, but Miss Lin pushed him back, and the old lady didn't help him speak. This time, Miss Lin is in the limelight, and many people are praising Miss Lin. ”
Mrs. Xing asked some more details, and the maid also told her truthfully, and Mrs. Xing knew the whole process, which was almost no different from what Jia Cong said.
Mrs. Xing was really surprised now, she couldn't imagine that Jia Cong, this little cub, was really powerful, she used to see him cowering and cautious, could it be that he couldn't pretend, and now he doesn't pretend?
If this kid really has this scheming, he will definitely not be a fuel-efficient lamp, and he may be able to become a bit of a climate in the future, and it seems that he will have to pay more attention to him in the future.
If you really have a future, you can win him over in advance, improve his status, and maybe you can form a good fate.
Ay! Who left themselves without children!
Early the next morning, after Jia Cong got up, he came to the yard and began to exercise, first doing a set of shoulder presses, then doing positive leg presses, side leg presses, back leg presses, servant leg presses, and other leg movements.
Then do the waist movements such as bending forward, throwing the waist, shabu the waist, and lower the waist, and then do some basic leg methods, bounce legs, kicks, kicks, and sweep legs.
In the end, I fought Tai Chi twice, and practiced some grappling and fighting moves dozens of times.
Half an hour has passed since this set of actions was completed.
These things are almost public knowledge in their previous lives, and in their previous lives, the network information was developed, and all kinds of punches, legs, and instruments can be said to have everything.
I was also a martial arts enthusiast at that time, and I collected and saved a lot of information in this area, but I saw more and practiced less, I didn't worship the master, and I didn't practice systematically, so I just exercised my body.
These are some fighting moves, after practice, self-defense, fighting is still somewhat useful, if you practice for a long time, you can also slightly enhance your physique.
However, no one will pass on the core exercises that really boil the body, and I lack the method to boil the body now.
The Jia family is also a family of military generals, and his grandfather Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, is a military general, and the two generations of Guogong are all military generals, and the family may also have exercises in this regard.
It seems that he is going to find Jia Yu, ask him to help find a master who can learn martial arts for himself, and by the way, ask the Jia family if there are any exercises to boil the body.
After cleaning up, the crescent moon brought water, and after serving Jia Cong to wash up, the two had breakfast together again, and when they saw the little girl's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, they knew that she was still thinking about the secrets in the hut.
This girl's curiosity is too strong, it's really not a good thing, it seems that some things will have to be carried on her back in the future, otherwise one day the big mouth will say that she is bald, and she will sell herself.
Since I promised her last night, let's take her to see it.
"Let's go, Crescent, I'll take you to see what you had yesterday, but I'll remind you again, don't tell anyone."
The crescent moon quickly nodded her little head and promised: "Third Young Master, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." ”
Jia Cong came to the hut with the crescent moon, and saw that there was a mass of things in the ten bowls on the ground, some of which were milky white and some were transparent.
"Third Young Master, this is what you did? What the hell is this? ”
Crescent crouched on the ground and poked with her fingers, "Yikes! This one is so soft and a little slimy. ”
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I said that this is the soap we usually use to wash our hands, face, and clothes, do you believe it?" ”
"Ah, is this really soap? Why is it different from what we use? Crescent Moon asked in surprise.
Jia Cong didn't care about the little girl's doubts, compared them one by one, selected the two best soaps, and said to the little girl: "Crescent, do you have dirty clothes?" Take it and try it with these soaps to see which one works best. ”
"Third Young Master, you wait, I'll look for it."
After saying that, the crescent moon got up and ran out, and after a while, he came back with a basin with two or three clothes in it.
"Third Young Master, are these few dirty things, are they enough?"
"That's enough, find a few dirty parts, just wash and try, the main thing is to see which kind of soap works better, and we pick out the one that has the best effect."
"Got it, Third Young Master, I'll try it one by one."
The master and servant worked for a while before choosing the one with the best effect, and Jia Cong wrote down the material ratio of this piece of soap, planning to find a house outside in the future.
In the future, I won't let the little girl participate, knowing too much is not a good thing for her, any master in the house is an existence that she can't refuse, and it's too easy to rectify her.
Tidy up the things in the hut, told the little girl again, and saw that Wangcai was coming, so he took him to the clan school.
