Chapter Seventy-One: The Soap Is Made
Zhao Yunlan has been at home recently, and she followed Old Man Li to the ground in the morning and evening while the sun was not shining, and when the sun was shining, Old Man Li led the team back.
The family lived in an orderly manner all day, and Zhao Yunlan waited for those few pieces of soap to be formed. The main reason is that the temperature is too high, and Zhao Yunlan tries her best to store it in a cool place.
Zhao Yunlan even spent some money to buy some ice in the county, but the ice here is too expensive to sell, and Zhao Yunlan is reluctant to use it when she buys it back.
Zhao Yunlan knew from Mrs. Liu that this dynasty had mastered the method of making ice from saltpeter, but this saltpeter was in the hands of the government, and it was difficult for the people to buy it.
Imperial court officials will receive ice tickets every summer, and with ice tickets, they can go to the Ice Administration Department to get ice, while ordinary people can only save more in winter or buy special ice shops to buy ice if they want to use it. There are two kinds of shops selling ice, one is the ice shop under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Ice Administration, the price is cheap, but there are not many things provided every day, and there is no more when it is late, and each household can only limit the purchase. The other is the buying and selling of some businessmen or large households, generally this kind of winter is more saved, and the family has the strength to dig a large deep cellar to store ice, but the ice of this ice shop can be sold more expensive.
Zhao Yunlan bought ice from a shop in the county, and two large pieces of ice cost two hundred catties of silver. Thinking about the ice, I am afraid that there are no two hundred catties of water, and spending close to one or two silver to buy two hundred catties of water, Zhao Yunlan was distressed for a while, and the price of buying ice cannot be told to Old Man Li, I am afraid that Old Man Li will not be able to accept it, pouting, this hot day is the easiest to get angry.
Zhao Yunlan also wanted to go to the pharmacy to buy saltpeter, but the amount of saltpeter in the pharmacy was small, not to mention for the time being, buying this saltpeter could only be bought according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor, and it was easy not to sell it separately.
Zhao Yunlan sighed, thinking that she couldn't realize the freedom of using ice when she came here, and in this hot summer, it was a luxury to have a bowl of red bean smoothie!
The more Zhao Yunlan thought about it, the more she longed for a piece of ice beside her, and she was impatient, Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan's uncomfortable appearance and asked, "Lady, what's uncomfortable?" Let's go to the town and see the doctor! ”
Zhao Yunlan quieted down and looked at Li Mingren resentfully: "You read your book well." ”
Li Mingren can now understand Zhao Yunlan's tone, and listening to this tone, he estimated that the lady had thought of something that needed to be studied to gain fame.
When the ice used to store the soap was also melted, Zhao Yunlan looked at the two basins of water, her heart was dripping blood, and she could only pray that the soap would succeed this time.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yunlan once again unveiled the newly made five cylinders of soap with anticipation.
This time, Old Man Li and Li Mingli both learned to be obedient and did not rush to try it again. Instead, Li Mingren came over and said, "Lady, let me give it a try for you, I can apply four of my hands and feet, and I can try one on my face." Li Mingren was worried that Zhao Yunlan would hurt his hand if he tried it himself, so he offered to try these soaps.
Zhao Yunlan rarely felt that Li Mingren was cute, and she didn't refuse: "Then you try these two, just try one a day and wash your hands, and I will come with three later, I can have confidence in myself." ”
Li Mingren took the No. 1 and No. 2 soaps and tried them. After washing your hands, it is not as bad as peeling, but it will still be a little red. Zhao Yunlan used No. 3 soap to wash her hands, this time it was good, her hands were not red, and the washing was clean. No. 4 and No. 5 are also good to use, but No. 5 washes out less foam, Zhao Yunlan is happy, and No. 4 feels the best to use.
Zhao Yunlan was happy that she had finally succeeded, but she was worried that everyone had different skin types, so she still asked her family to use No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 to try it respectively.
Zhao Yunlan finally ordered No. 3 as laundry soap for washing clothes, No. 4 was called soap when used to wash the body and wash hands, and No. 5 gave up because the cleaning ability was not as good as the first two.
Zhao Yunlan remade a new soap according to the previous recipe of No. 3 or 4. I used the dried flowers from before adding it to the soap, and I picked some wood dan and calyx green jun to make the fragrance.
Zhao Yunlan made ten pieces of laundry soap and ten pieces of soap, and pressed the modern soap dish by herself and asked Li Mingren to draw it, and Old Man Li and Li Mingli processed it according to the drawings.
Li Mingren also put orchids on the drawings, Zhao Yunlan looked at it, this can just be used as a trademark!
Zhao Yunlan asked Old Man Li and Li Mingli if they could carve it on it, Old Man Li waved his hand, Li Mingli said that he could give it a try, so he tried it all night, and finally looked like it. Zhao Yunlan put away Li Mingren's original picture and put it in the cabinet. Li Mingren was very happy when he saw it, but he didn't know that Zhao Yunlan had just formed a sense of trademark and patent.
In order to make the twenty pieces of soap solidify earlier, Zhao Yunlan deliberately pulled a cart of ice back, Zhao Yunlan didn't feel sorry for this ice money now, after all, she could already be sure that this soap was feasible.
Seeing this, Old Man Li came over and said, "Put a pot of ice in this cart at night and go to the room!" Your mother can't sleep well at night when it's hot. ”
Li Mingli heard: "Sister-in-law, I want it in the house too." ”
Li Mingmei also raised her hand to want it.
Zhao Yunlan did not hesitate to respond one by one.
Wang said to Old Man Li next to him: "You can use it if you want to, why use me as a disguise." ”
Old man Li smiled and turned his head and asked Zhao Yunlan: "How much silver is this car of ice?" ”
Zhao Yunlan thought that this old man Li could accept the use of ice, and he should have known the price of ice, so he told the truth: "Dad, this car of ice is ten taels of silver." ”
Old man Li gasped, Li Mingli hurriedly supported him when he saw this, only to see Old Man Li say, "No one can use ice at night." ”
Old man Li didn't know the price of this ice, and today he saw Zhao Yunlan pull a cart back and think that this ice might be cheap, otherwise which farmer's brain would have taken out this money!
Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: I should have pumped my brain.
Zhao Yunlan had to be reassured: "Dad, wait for the soap to be sold, and then the money to buy ice will be earned, this soap is worth more than this ice, and when the time comes, I will buy you a cart of ice and put it in the house to use slowly." ”
When Wang heard Zhao Yunlan's words, he said: "Lan Niang, this soap method is your own idea, and this is your own business." This ice! You can use it when you need it, and if your family wants to use ice, you will pay for it. ”
Zhao Yunlan just wanted to open her mouth to refute, but Wang continued: "Lan Niang, the Li family owes you too much, you can take the money from selling soap and make your own decisions." ”
Zhao Yunlan's heart was warm, and then she slowly spoke: "Mother, although I made this soap, everyone in my family helped me!" I thought we'd divide it, and it was important for me to help them try it out after it was done. Not to mention that my father and third brother helped me make soap boxes, and Xianggong also turned the drawings into drawings. I thought I'd divide it together, so that no one would lose. ”
Wang: "Lan Niang, listen to me, this soap is your private room." At that time, you will have to pay 20% to the public middle school, and the cost of the family will not be the same, so be it! ”
Zhao Yunlan couldn't help it, so she should go down and take more money herself.
