It's not just Cai Rujin who is interested.

The news of Chen Yun's purchase of a large amount of supplies was spread all over the temple in the afternoon.

No, during dinner, several people approached Chen Yun to ask.

For example, Li Si at the same table, "Senior Brother Chen, what are you going to do?" ”

Not far away, Wang Siyan, Yu Luping, Senior Brother Tang and others frequently exchanged glances, and they also wanted to know.

It's a pity that Chen Yun wasn't ready to reveal it at all, but just smiled and said, "The secret, you'll know it when you turn around." ”

Senior Brother Ding also couldn't hold back, "Let's talk about Senior Brother Chen, I'm really curious." ”

Chen Yun still didn't reveal anything.

It's not about hiding.

It's that he is afraid that the production will fail, so don't let everyone laugh at it then.

His personality is like this, he doesn't like to shout before things are done.

In the end, everyone really couldn't ask anything, and went back to the house for dinner.

On the way back, everyone was still talking.

"Siyan, you are smart and clever, what do you say Senior Brother Chen is going to do?"

"I can't figure it out."

"He's acting weirdly today, it's really curious."

"Isn't it, look at it, you should know in two days."

Everyone chatted and drifted away.

Chen Yun is different from everyone else.

He didn't leave the cafeteria after eating, but found Senior Brother Ning to help him.

Senior Brother Ning took the benefit of Chen Yun a few taels of silver during the day, so he naturally patted his chest and agreed to help.

The two of them were busy in the kitchen.

Chen Yun poured the ashes of the plants and trees into a large wooden basin filled with water and commanded, "Senior Brother Ning, help me filter the impurities in the oil with a drawer cloth. ”

Although what he said was relatively modern, Senior Brother Kening could understand it, "Okay." ”

As he spoke, Senior Brother Ning began to filter the oil with a drawer cloth.

Tick, tick.

Drops of filtered oil drip down and fall into the prepared ceramic jar.

Chen Yun stirred the water mixed with plant ash evenly, and then poured it into a large iron pot.

Cover the pot.

He crouched behind the earthen stove and burned firewood.

Because both of them were busy, they didn't speak.

After boiling for a while, the ash water in the pot boiled.

Chen Yun did not stop burning the fire, but continued to burn for about ten minutes.

The fire ends.

He got up and scooped out the boiling ash water and placed it in a large wooden basin.

At this time, Senior Brother Ning was still filtering oil.

Chen Yun picked up the simple still that Wang Tsaixi had made for him.

Pour in the spirits little by little.

Then put cold water in the pot.

Place a simple still in it.

He went back to the earthen stove again and lit the fire.

Gradually, the water in the pot boiled.

The alcohol in the simple stills was also stripped from the liquor and turned into a cloud of mist.

The boiling point of alcohol is less than 80 degrees, and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees.

The simple still placed in boiling water can evaporate the alcohol, the water content is not too much, and the high purity alcohol can be obtained by refining it several times.

Refining alcohol is still a waste of time.

Chen Yun worked hard for more than an hour before refining it.

He then cleaned the simple still.

Add the petals and put them in a still.

It's about half filled.

Chen Yun added water to it again.

When the water in the still covers the petals, he begins to heat the still.

After a while, the still is heated to a boil.

Steam is produced when the water starts boiling.

The steam travels down the pipe into another small porcelain vase container where it gradually cools down.

Senior Brother Ning, who was filtering the oil, suddenly sniffed his nose and said, "Senior Brother Chen, it's so fragrant, are you making rose dew?" ”

Rose dew is an ancient perfume that is complicated to make.

Of course, the price is very expensive, and the average person simply cannot afford it.

Chen Yun is still burning the fire in the earthen stove, he is currently refining the petal essential oil, and the taste is naturally very fragrant.

He smiled and replied, "Rosedew is only a part, I mainly want to make something else." ”

Senior Brother Ning had been busy for so long, he was really curious to know what to make, and asked, "What exactly do you want to make?" Tell me about it, there are no outsiders here, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. ”

Seeing Senior Brother Ning sweating profusely and his clothes full of oil spots, Chen Yun thought about it and told him, "I'm making soap." ”

Yes.

Chen Yun is making soap!

Some people may not know that there was no real soap in ancient China, only soap horns, pancreas and other things for washing clothes and body.

These two things are not ordinary expensive, only large families can afford to use them, and they are real luxuries.

For example, fragrant pancreas, which was originally only used by the imperial palace.

There was a colt who didn't know the goods on his wedding night, and he ate fragrant pancreas as food.

In addition, even if the background of "Dream of Red Mansions" may be the Ming and Qing dynasties, fragrant pancreas is not so rare, but it is still a luxury.

It is conceivable that the current society, which may be similar to the Tang Dynasty period on the earth, is worth a lot of money.

Chen Yun wants to earn four or five hundred taels of silver in a short period of time, and the potential customer base naturally cannot be civilians, and he must take the high-end route.

And soap and perfume were just needed for large families in ancient times.

He believed that as long as he could make soap and perfume, it would be easy to earn four or five hundred taels of silver.

After all, fragrant pancreas are expensive.

Soaps that are more advanced than pancreas will definitely sell for a high price.

"Soap?" Senior Brother Ning was stunned when he filtered the oil, and said quite puzzledly: "Isn't soap horn used for soap?" Did you forget to buy soap horns? ”

Chen Yun laughed, "I can't tell you clearly for the time being, you will see when something is made." ”

Senior Brother Ning had no choice but to continue working.

It's half a night.

Eventually, the kitchen was piled up with pots and cans filled with oil and water.

As for the alcohol that cools down, it is more volatile.

Chen Yun was afraid of wasting, so he specially sealed the jar that had filled the wine before.

It's already the middle of the night when I finish my work.

Chen Yun and Senior Brother Ning were tired enough, so they said goodbye to each other and went back to the house to sleep.

The two of them left.

But about half an hour later, the kitchen ushered in a sneaky figure.

It is Cai Rujin, who is full of curiosity.

His cultivation is unfathomable, and even if there is no light in the kitchen at the moment, he can still see clearly.

Cai Rujin looked at the pots and pans all over the ground filled with various liquids, and the whole person wondered even more, "What is this kid doing?" ”

He stared at it for a long time, still unable to figure it out.

Cai Rujin simply didn't want to think about it, turned around and prepared to go back to the house to cultivate.

Suddenly, he saw several wine jars on the stove.

"Well, it seems to be Xu Ji's wine, his wine tastes very good, I'll pour a small bowl and taste it."

Cai Rujin was slightly addicted to alcohol.

Even though the room was full of things, he avoided them all as he walked.

Come to the stove.

He picked up a small bowl and opened the lid of one of the jars.

A strong smell of wine rises.

"Yo, what a fragrant wine!"

Cai Rujin's gluttony is about to be hooked out.

He couldn't wait to pour a small bowl, and then looked quite puzzled, "This wine is so clear, isn't Xu Ji selling rice wine?" ”

Although he couldn't figure it out, Cai Rujin felt that this kind of clear and flawless wine with a strong fragrance should be a new product of Xu Ji.

He picked up the bowl and drank it down.

And then......

"Wow!"

Cai Rujin stuck out his tongue and spit out all the wine.

Nima!

What kind of wine is this?

Almost didn't kill him!

At this moment, he had the heart to kill!

Well, he didn't know that this was the alcohol that Chen Yun was talking about during the day.

……

The next night.

Senior Brother Chen Yun and Senior Brother Ning began to get busy again.

He first added the filtered oil to the container.

Then add the alkaline water and alcohol made by adding plant gray water.

Mix these three things together in proportion.

Heat, stirring constantly.

Chen Yun observed while stirring.

Seeing that the situation is almost there.

Saturated salt water is then added.

Gradually, the solution in the pot boiled, and a yellowish precipitate appeared.

The precipitated substance is soap.

He filters out the substances.

Honey and refined petal essential oils are added.

It is then placed in the mold.

Wait until it cools down and leave it for a few more days before the soap is ready to use.

In addition, there was a leftover solution, which he removed again and obtained crude glycerin.

After that, Chen Yun began to make perfumes.

Homemade perfume is relatively simple and not as complicated as making soap.

He added alcohol, distilled water, petal oil, glycerin, and a series of other substances to the jar, and sealed it.

Perfume needs to settle for a while before it can be used.

You can't make money with it for the time being.

It can be said that it is handmade.

……

Three or four days later.

There was a sensation at the missionary temple.

Everyone was given a small bar of soap.

At first, everyone didn't know what soap does, but after listening to the introduction and trying it, everyone became excited.

Especially Wang Siyan and Yu Luping, the two girls were even more excited.

"My God, after bathing in this soap, it smells so good."

"But isn't it, my hands are usually black and oily when I work, and it's not easy to wash at all, but now it's okay, wash it with soap, not only my hands are clean, but there is also a lingering fragrance."

"Senior Brother Chen is really wise."

"yes, soap can be made, geek."

Zhang Qian, Li Si, Senior Brother Tang and Wang Siyan were talking.

Even Wang Zixi, who has always had a cold personality, couldn't help but show joy after getting the soap.

You can imagine how much everyone loves the soap invented by Chen Yun.

It is also true that the long-term workers of the preaching temple are not rich people, and they cannot afford to buy fragrant pancreas.

Naturally, everyone was amazed after getting the magic of soap.

Of course, at this moment, Chen Yun couldn't hear everyone's voices talking about him.

Because he had just arrived at the talisman hall.

As soon as Chen Yun entered the door, he put a small piece of soap in front of the desk where Cai Rujin was sitting, "Senior Brother Cai, I have been coming to the talisman hall for several days, thanks to your care, the small gift is not a tribute, and I hope to accept it." ”

Cai Rujin was still a little unclear when she saw the soap.

He asked, "What is this?" ”

Chen Yun said: "Soap." ”

Cai Rujin frowned and said, "Soap? I remember that soap wasn't like that. ”

Chen Yun explained a little, which probably means that this is a soap invented by himself, which is not the same as the so-called soap on the market, and the cleaning function is more powerful.

Cai Rujin didn't believe in evil and tried it.

As a result, after washing my hands with soap, the cleansing effect was very good, and there was still a trace of residual fragrance.

This made Cai Rujin, who had returned to the front of the case, stared at Chen Yun for a long time, and then slowly said a sentence, "You are so wise, you shouldn't use it on this." ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Cai, for the point, Yun won't waste too much time making these gadgets."

Chen Yun replied with a smile: "Didn't you want to make money to buy red snow lychee fruit recently?" So it took a little thought. ”

Cai Rujin's eyes softened, and he sighed and said, "Well, I'll start teaching you to draw talismans tomorrow." ”

When he said this, Cai Rujin felt ashamed in his heart.

Obviously, he secretly put on small shoes for Chen Yun.

The other party spent several days busy making soap, and he actually gave it to him as soon as possible.

This made Cai Rujin blush a little.

To bully the small, not a gentleman.

Maybe it's a sense of shame.

At this moment, Cai Rujin felt less annoying when he saw Chen Yun.

On the contrary, he also felt that Chen Yun was smart and clever, and he should not take the wrong path and waste his wisdom on inventing any soap.

He decided to take the time to give some pointers.

Well, there's also red snow lychee fruit.

Give it to this kid tomorrow.

Although Cai Rujin knew that Chen Yun would make such a magical soap, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money, so that he could afford to buy red snow lychee fruit.

It's just that it takes time for things to sell, and it's impossible to scrape together enough money all at once.

And whether Chen Yun showed excellent talent in cultivation before, or made soap this time, showing enough wisdom, he was worthy of obtaining the Red Snow Lychee Fruit.

Therefore, Cai Rujin thought about it, and when Chen Yun came to the talisman hall in the afternoon tomorrow, he would give the Red Snow Lychee Fruit, so as not to delay Chen Yun's cultivation progress.

This is a young man with great talent and great intelligence.

Cai Rujin completely changed his mind.

Not only was he not prepared to make things difficult for Chen Yun, but he also wanted to cultivate it carefully.
