Chapter 17 Soap

Soap is not a new thing, and Mr. Wen made it shortly after the crossing.

The method of production is simple, which is nothing more than mixing grease with plant ash for saponification reaction.

Under normal circumstances, the Chaos Demon Clan's body is pure Chaos Energy, and the entity is only a special form to facilitate activities in the world, and there is no need to clean it.

Anyway, as long as it's not too troublesome, you can get rid of the dirt by re-plasticizing, and if you have some special magic, you can be spotless.

However, Vincent has picked up a dirty girl from the countryside and is engaged in a job that is not related to cleanliness both morally and practically, and if she wants to become an idol of Bing Qingyujie, she must strengthen her personal hygiene.

If you want to make the human race clean, soap is small but indispensable, Vincent initially used the home-made soap that the masses like to see, after all, there is no industrial-grade sodium hydroxide to use in this broken territory.

It is not difficult to obtain the ashes, but the ashes are filled with cold or hot water, placed in a crystal container unique to the lord's house, and left for seven to ten days to allow the solution to become a highly concentrated alkaline water.

In this process, the most important thing is to make sure that the concentration of alkaline water is high enough.

In the absence of pH test strips, Vincent used different methods to test the concentration of the solution, such as measuring the buoyancy with eggs and the degree of ablation on the surface with meat, and finally determined the approximate extent.

Unlike many of his territories, Vincenne's territory is not short of oil, which comes not from vegetable oil, but from the giant sea beasts of the sea.

There were whale-like animals in the sea, but with a more eccentric appearance, plump animals, and looking at the pair of huge fins, Vincent thought that maybe it could be called ...... KUN BAR.

The fishermen originally obtained all kinds of valuable things from these animals, and also used the refined oil for lighting, and ate the sea by the sea, and no one did not like KUN, and so did Mr. Wen.

Hearing that the lord needed materials, the fishermen who had been announced to cut taxes this year immediately sent them grease, and the lord was delighted, and paid for them to buy larger boats, so that they could catch more of this kind of foodie that grabbed fish from the fishermen.

When the grease is present, the lye and the grease are heated at the same time, and when both reach a certain temperature, the lye is slowly poured into the grease and the skeletons who are not afraid of getting dirty or tired are stirred.

I have to say that it's great to have sleepless undead creatures, the saponification process is an extremely boiling process, oil and water and alkaline water themselves are incompatible, and it takes a long time to stir to succeed.

In a way, it's better to use than machines, safer than workers, and cheaper than magic.

The soap turned milky white and smelled foul everywhere, and Ninia choked on her mouth, but Vincent enjoyed it.

In order to make this process smoother, Vincent also tried to add salt, alcohol and other substances to blend it to make the saponification reaction smoother.

This was the first step in the territory chemical industry at the time, and seeing the ugly color that looked like inferior maltose gradually became more and more pleasing to the eye, Vincent felt a great sense of accomplishment.

In any case, soap is a good thing to sell, as long as life no one can refuse, first sell it to the nobles who pursue a high quality of life to get gold coins, and then increase investment to upgrade the soap workshop into a factory.

When the moisture decreases to a certain point and the soap turns into a sticky yogurt-like shape, Vincent asks the skeleton to pour the soap into different molds, add different spices to make it, and leave it in a warm place to dry.

After drying, the soap can be demolded, and half a year ago, Ninia dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, thinking that the lord was making some poison to kill her.

After making the toy girl use all kinds of soap and experience all kinds of strange sensations of stickiness and coarseness, the lord finally found a smoother, more fragrant, and cleaner sample, and made a batch of utensils that could be called production equipment, and let the faithful lich oversee the skeleton for small batch production.

At that time, it was already the eve of the lord's expedition to quell the rebellion, and because of the bad taste, there were always people in the city who thought that the demons were doing something evil under the castle.

This is true, but it is not comprehensive, and soap processing is just an iceberg among the many secrets hidden beneath the castle

A corner.

Although Ninia didn't understand the basic theory of chemistry that Vincent said, and she couldn't understand the so-called strange terms such as hydrocarbon long chain, lipophilic end, and hydrophilic end in the soap composition, she knew that soap was a good thing, so she spared no effort in promoting it, bringing more gold coins to Vincent.

The *** version of soap printed with Ninia's head is hard to find in Silver Dragon Castle, and each piece can be sold for a high price of three gold coins, but the general soap price is not so outrageous, and many people have begun to choose this beautiful and convenient item.

The conditions for making hard soap are relatively simple and cheap, but the people don't like the word "stinky soap" in the lord's mouth, and everyone prefers to call it "magic soap".

The Monolithic Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money just by selling soap, and more merchants wanted to break the threshold of the lord's castle in order to get soap.

"It's not enough, it's not enough," Vincent looked at the small workshop and shook his head helplessly, "This petty production is not the right way."

For many people, selling thousands of bars of soap a month is a big business that they never dreamed of, but Vincent was not happy about it.

"This thing...... Even the works of the Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition are not as good, how can we make the territory stronger and safer?"

The one who can understand his thoughts on a technical level is the Grand Magician La Nina.

Others may identify the reason for the Demon Lord's strength as bloodline and origin, but the intelligent La Niña began to perceive the source of his power after letting go of her prejudice against the lord and becoming a subordinate of the Demon Clan.

It has nothing to do with race, nothing to do with blood, nothing to do with protection, it is a system of thought that is different from all the powerful and wise people she has come into contact with in her life.

This man was clearly going to do something different, something that would change the face of the continent, and sometimes she even came to the conclusion that Vincent's arrival would have more far-reaching consequences than the last Demon War.

What is even more incomprehensible and convincing to La Niña is that Vincent, in the process of the rise of the territory, does not rely on the power of magic, he relies more on those basic laws and techniques that are not valued, and puts more convenient magic in a subsidiary position.

As a consequence of this, the status of the magician declined, while the status of the craftsman rose, and the commoners gained a stable channel to rise through knowledge and practice, and thus became loyal supporters of the belief in the god of artisans and the lord.

Vincent said a sentence that La Niña kept in mind, "The economic base determines the political culture", and the Terran civilians should not be loyal to the demons in any case, and the reason why he is loyal to the lord Vincent is not because he killed a few female merchants, put down many rebellions, and trained a few idols, but because he gave people an economic foundation for survival and development.

This kind of demon is dangerous, but fortunately, La Niña doesn't have to think about it.
