Chapter 2 You have money, I have science
Lunch was over in a hurry, and Theresa curiously followed to the place where Sinan Pei made zuò soap. She wants to know not only the result, but also the process. Originally, she didn't plan to come with her, because she thought that Sinan Pei would not casually reveal her "secret recipe", but to her surprise, when she tentatively made this request, Si Nanpei readily agreed.
"There's nothing to keep secret about it. Sinampei said.
Under Theresa's attention, Sinampe instructed the servants to bring lard and plant ash. Originally, he wanted to use goat fat, but unfortunately he couldn't find it in Theresa's castle for a while.
But the lard is okay.
This step was normal, and although she didn't know what Sinampei was going to do next, Theresa already understood that he wasn't a liar - at least he knew how to make soap.
"Bring the pot. Sinampe chose to do this work outdoors.
He threw the preliminarily processed ingredients into the pot and began to heat them up.
As long as modern people who have studied primary chemistry know the principle of soap making, which is nothing more than the saponification reaction of sodium hydroxide and oil, the reason why the oldest soap manufacturing method takes a month is only because the ancients did not understand that heating can speed up the saponification reaction and adopted the cold method - of course, if from the perspective of quality, the cold method is superior, after all, the reaction can not be guaranteed under simple processing conditions, and the alkali will hurt the skin after all - girls will definitely not be able to bear it.
But today, Sinampei needs to prove his worth by going through guò. And such a simple soap is obviously not for a big nobleman like Theresa.
As the temperature rose, a strange smell reached the noses of Theresa and the servants, but neither of them left, Teresa out of curiosity, and the servants because their master did not speak.
Sinan Pei paid close attention to the situation in the pot, although the oil layer was slowly disappearing, but Si Nanpei was not satisfied, without him, there were too many impurities. Originally, he wanted to make a sodium hydroxide solution from quicklime and alkaline flour instead of plant ash, but he didn't know what to say about those two things in the language here.
"Bring the salt and a big spoon, and move a small pot. Sinampei commanded.
Several servants have seen the changes in the pot. Although there were a lot of impurities, they were surprised enough.
After all, soap is still a luxury, even if the finished product may not be too much, but it is a miracle that it can be made in a day. What's more, from the current point of view, there is still a lot of room for improvement in such manufacturing methods.
After that, Sinampei scooped out the usable ones with a spoon and put them in a small pot to continue heating, and finally precipitated them with salt.
Looking at the pale yellow solid in the pot, Theresa's eyes widened, and her pretty face was full of disbelief.
Sinampei elegantly saluted Trisa and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm done." ”
"How could it be ......" After a moment of distraction, Theresa's eyes were full of strange looks, she didn't care about etiquette, rushed to Si Nanpei and asked eagerly: "Si, do you have the craft of making zuò on a large scale?"
"Large-scale zuò must not use plant ash, must use ......" scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, Si Nanpei simply asked the servants to take them to the kitchen and toilet, and brought quicklime and alkaline noodles.
"You need to use these two things to make a sodium hydroxide solution. "Sinampei is sodium hydroxide in Chinese.
Although she didn't understand what it was, the clever Theresa had understood the general meaning.
"Si, can you help me start a soap factory?" Theresa's tone was full of excitement.
Si Nanpei continued to put gold on his face: "Your Highness, although I really want to help you, but in the concept of my hometown, a nobleman should not be in the company of a businessman. ”
In fact, Sinampei was just pretending to be reserved, which could also be understood as joking, but Theresa took it seriously.
Although she showed a disappointed look, she didn't plead anymore, nor did she use her identity to force Sinan Pei: "Really...... It turns out that you are also a nobleman. Sorry, Division. ”
After a pause, Theresa said to Sinampe, "But please be sure to instruct my servants on the techniques of making soap. ”
It seems that this chick is trying to make some money. Sinan Pei wanted to laugh a little, no one is exempt from vulgarity when it comes to wealth, whether you are a duke or a king, you can't move when you see money.
Theresa continued: "I heard that there is a lack of food harvest in some areas this year, and a group of victims have come to my territory, and I want to find some work for them. Theresa smiled politely when she said this, but she smiled reluctantly.
Sinampei looked at Theresa, extremely surprised, and even felt a little shocked in his heart.
Really, fakely, Our Lady, with a black belly, Sinan Pei couldn't understand this girl who had only known her for a short time.
Sinan Pei smiled: "Okay, since I have accepted your help, I think this is also my obligation." ”
"It's good to find something to do...... Si Nanpei thought silently, "I'm a traverser......! Sooner or later, I will do the next big business and become a successful person!"
Although he hypnotized himself in this way, he was actually afraid, afraid that he would remember those failed days on Earth again.
"To hell with those garbage companies, I have a big backer now!" Sinampei laughed happily, attracting the onlookers of Theresa and her subordinates.
But Sinampei didn't care, because after the impulsive venting, he felt that the haze in his heart was much less. He thought that if he wanted not to be haunted by the past, then he could only look forward.
Maybe I'll be able to go back one day...... But in the deepest part of his heart, he still made such a prayer.
"Your Royal Highness the Duchess, how big do you want to be a factory, how strong is the production capacity, and how much money can you make?" Si Nanpei returned to Trisha and said with a smile, "No matter what kind of request you make, I can also complete it for you!"
Theresa was a little overwhelmed by the sudden change in Sinampe. She tugged at the corner of her skirt and thought for a while and asked, "Didn't you say that in your hometown, the nobles would not participate in commerce?"
"That's true, but it's not in my hometown. Si Nanpei spread his hands, "Besides, a beautiful lady like you has made a request, why don't I finish it? Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will think of a way for you." ”
Theresa looked at Sinampe, and her face suddenly turned red. From her point of view, Sinampei is undoubtedly a handsome guy with a "bewitching" appearance......
