"This is the soap I made! The rich people in the town use bath beans, fragrant pancreas, expensive and not durable, I am good-looking and durable, wash clean, the skin on the body will not feel dry after washing, and there is also the effect of whitening and nourishing the skin, this soap needs flowers, but also needs fresh milk! ”

Gu Qing said and fetched a basin of water for Li Zheng, and then taught Li Zheng how to wash his hands with soap.

Li Zheng smelled the smell and felt that it was a rare thing, and after soaking his hands, he saw that his hands were full of deep ravines because of his perennial labor, and they were filled with black dirt accumulated over the years, and he didn't dare to reach out to touch the crystal soap.

It was still Gu Qing who pulled her hand and applied a layer of soap on it, rubbed the bubbles, and the faint fragrance of honey and flowers immediately diffused, and a pair of hands were washed clean under Gu Qing's gentle rubbing, and they were directly a few degrees whiter.

"You're so good at this soap!" Li Zheng is also a woman, no matter what age a woman is, there is no one who doesn't love beauty or cleanliness, "How much silver does this piece have to sell!" ”

"Aunt Lizheng, I opened a workshop, specializing in making soap, how about planting flowers on a hill in our village, raising bees, raising sheep and producing milk and selling it to me? In this way, everyone does not have to go to the town to find odd jobs, and can have a regular income, and I will need manpower to open a workshop, and when the time comes, people in the village can still come to work in my workshop to earn money! ”

In fact, these Gu Qing had an idea when she first took out the shower gel shampoo, but at that time she really had no capital, but now it is different, she has money and land, and there are still thirty acres of forty acres of wasteland that she bought, which is more than enough to build a workshop.

"It's good, but," Li Zheng worried: "This kind of flower, beekeeping and sheep take time, and the income is too slow, I'm afraid the villagers won't be happy!" ”

The people in Gujia Village are all about what their temperament is, and they are still more or less clear in their hearts.

"Earnings won't be slow!" Gu Qing patted his chest and promised: "I build a workshop here, plant flowers in the village, I have found all the flower seedlings, just plant the moon season, and they can bloom in a month, as for the bees, after autumn, eucalyptus and gallnut can be harvested once during the flowering period, around the end of October, the duck's foot wood flowering period, if the weather is good, you can take honey once."

When the time comes, we will plant a large area of flowers, bees will also collect honey, in general, the mountainous area will inevitably harvest a lot of honey, these honey is a good thing, you can eat yourself, you can sell to me, you can also take the town to sell.

As for sheep, we can buy adult sheep, and as for the capital, I can lend it to the village, and our mountains are full of grass, so we don't have to worry about raising sheep! ”

"What?" Li Zheng asked in disbelief: "You mean that you will pay all the capital?" ”

Gu Qing nodded: "Yes, I'll go out, if you don't want to, I'll do it myself, I'll buy a mountain with the village, and then hire people from the village to work for me, but the ugly words are ahead, when I make money, the people in the village won't just be red!" ”

Li Zheng took out a cigarette gun, took two puffs, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll notify you now, see what everyone thinks!" ”

After Li Zheng left, Gu Qing boiled hot water and began to take a bath and wash his hair.

The wooden barrel for bathing is very large, and it is necessary to carry two buckets of hot water and add three or four buckets of cold water to fill it up.

Although it costs water, she doesn't wash with a wooden bucket every day, she basically carries a bucket of water to wash it, and only uses the bath bucket once in about seven or eight days, and she sits in the bathtub and feels comfortable.

She bathed with soap bought from the mall, others bathed with shower gel she bought from the mall, washed her hair poorly, washed her with rice water, and washed her clothes with plant ash...... As for bath beans, pancreas is something that only the upper class can afford, and ordinary people have nowhere to buy them if they want to.

Gu Qing thought while taking a bath, now that the level of clothing, food, housing and transportation has been raised, this daily cleaning should also be raised to a higher level.

It was better for her to try making soap herself after buying it from the mall.

In her last life, she had seen a lot of videos teaching people to make soap, and the production in it was so simple, and the entire process could be completed with local materials.

Coming together in the morning, Gu Qing planned to try to see if she could succeed in doing it, but she finally felt shallow on paper, and she never knew that she had to do it, she deeply understood this truth, so any knowledge from the book, she needed to practice it before she could make a conclusion.

Zhu Han and the others went to the town before dawn, Zhu Han was going to the store to watch, Yang Pei was going to sell lo-mei, Mo left to order pig offal, and Gu Qing was in the yard to study how to make soap.

All the raw materials were in front of her, a pile of plant ashes, a jar of boiled lard, a pot of wine, and a cauldron made of porcelain.

Gu Yu was feeding the chickens on the side, and asked curiously, "Eldest sister, what are you doing, do you want me to help?" ”

Gu Qing nodded: "Okay, you come over and help me first." ”

She couldn't figure it out on her own, so she said, "Put this pot on the stove first." ”

Gu Yu didn't know when there was such a pot at home, but he didn't ask much, and he carried it on the stove.

Gu Qing called Gu Nuo to strain the grass and wood ashes with her, filtered out some of the small wooden blocks and mud stones that had not been burned out, and then poured the pure plant and wood ashes into the porcelain pot, added twice the amount of water, and kept stirring.

The reason why a porcelain pot is used instead of an iron pot is because after the plant ash is boiled and precipitated at high temperature, a high concentration of lye will be produced, and iron and alkali will produce a chemical reaction, so try to avoid it if it can be avoided.

After the plant ash and water are fully fused, you can burn firewood and heat it to increase the concentration of lye.

How to determine whether the concentration of lye is up to standard, the book mentions a method, put the egg in it, if it can float, it means successful.

Next, pour the prepared lard and alcohol into the porcelain pot and stir vigorously while attacking the fire.

Gu Yu was a child in the end, and after stirring with a mallet for a while, he couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Rong, come and help!" ”

Dong Rong didn't go out, he had been working blindly at home, and when he heard the call, he immediately came over.

He took the mallet and stirred the high-temperature solution, and asked very suspiciously: "Master, what is this going on, it looks strange......

Gu Qing stared at the pot and said, "You'll know when it's done." ”

If they fail, won't they be happy in vain?

Dong Rong stirred hard, and saw that the pale yellow liquid gradually became transparent, and the layer of grease on the surface disappeared.

Gu Qing laughed, and now he has succeeded eighty percent.

She drops a drop of water into it, and the water melts completely, which means that the chemistry is over.

She poured the prepared salt water into it, and the solution in the pot suddenly began to tumble up and down, and then stirred rapidly, this step is called salting out, in order to separate the yellowish substance and increase the hardness of the finished product.

Eventually, the yellowish precipitate that emerges is soap.

Gu Qing reacted at this time, she didn't make a mold in advance, so she had no choice but to quickly let Gu Yu go to the old Gu's house to cut bamboo tubes, because the people on the other side of the old house would weave bamboo utensils, and there were several bamboos in the yard at home all year round, Gu Yu ran over quickly with a firewood knife, and after a while, he brought back more than ten bamboo tubes.

Gu Qing poured the precipitated soft solution into the bamboo tube, and it actually contained ten bamboo tubes.

She placed ten bamboo tubes on the windowsill and waited for them to solidify.

Dong Rong and Gu Yu's tired arms were thickened, and they were very curious about what this was, but Gu Qing just didn't say it.

When it was time to take a shower at night, the two of them would know.
