Chapter 219 Buying a Household Slave
"Okay, don't make trouble, Run Niang, you get me some lard."
Jin Feng held Guan Xiaorou with a smile and said his intention.
"Brother Feng, what do you want lard?"
Run Niang asked curiously.
Jin Feng generally does not cook.
But still ran to the oil jar with a red face: "How much do you want?"
"Give me all."
Jin Feng did not explain, but said: "There are rapeseed oil, and give me a can."
"Give."
Run Niang obediently handed over the oil altar.
Jin Feng left with the oil altar, and Guan Xiaorou followed up.
Not only Run Niang, but Guan Xiaorou is also very curious about what Jin Feng wants to do?
When there was no one, Guan Xiaorou held Jin Feng and asked, "What do you want the oil can?"
"Do soap."
Jin Feng said with a smile.
Shortly after crossing, Jin Feng found that the Dakang people were washed their hair with soap angles.
Washing clothes is okay, and you can wash it with hard rubbing, but you can't wash your hair. The oil removal capacity of saponin is limited. After washing, it is still oil.
Fortunately, you can wash your hair with rice water. How much you can remove some odors.
But who can afford rice from ordinary people?
So shortly after getting married, Jin Feng took the time to make two pieces of soap for Guan Xiaorou.
One is used to wash your hair and bath, and one for washing clothes.
"Soap is made of lard?"
Guan Xiaorou couldn't help but widened his eyes.
She can be said to be the first person to use soap in addition to Jin Feng, so she knows the role of soap.
Since she had soap, she was refreshing every day, and she no longer had to worry about her hair.
Now Jin Feng actually told her that soap with strong oil removal capacity was made with oil?
Guan Xiaorou feels incredible.
It's like someone told him that the fire in the stove was changed with water.
But Jin Feng nodded with a smile.
In fact, the production process of soap is very simple, and the emergence of soap in history is also a coincidence.
Legend has it that a blacksmith accidentally put the fat into the fire that had just been extinguished. The oil was flammable, and the apprentices were afraid of causing the fire. Hurry up and hold the oil out with the gray ash.
The oil was stained with the hands, and the water was difficult to clean. As a result, when the apprentices were washed, they found that many white foam appeared on the hand. The fat was washed cleanly.
Then I found that the lumps after the grease and the ash condensed were particularly strong.
Soap appears like this.
Although it sounds unbelievable, Guan Xiaorou completely believes in Jin Feng.
Jin Feng said that lard can make soap, then it will definitely.
"Master, the soap you made last time hasn't been used up, don't you do it?"
Guan Xiaorou said.
"The last time I did it, it was not very good. This time I did it again. The two pieces of the previous two can be thrown away."
"How can that, how much is such a good thing?" Is it a pity? "
Guan Xiaorou did not work for the two soap babies. Except for her, only Tang Dongdong, Xiao'e and Runniang could use it.
Sanxunzi didn't know how long it had been. After saying several times, she had to use it, and she was not willing.
"Just a piece of soap, what a good thing."
Jin Feng said with a smile: "When I do it this time, you will throw it away."
In fact, soap should be used to use oil and alkalinity, but the larvae was not found last time. Jinfeng can only use the plant ash to make the alkali. The quality of the soap made is very average.
Now that he has obtained caustic soda and prepared vegetable oil and spices, the soap he made can be called soap.
In all aspects, it is not comparable to the soap I made last time.
"I definitely won't throw it away. It's okay to give it to the third aunt and the others."
Guan Xiaorou said firmly.
"I will make more this time and give one piece to every household in the village so that everyone can use it."
Jin Feng said with a smile: "Third Aunt will not necessarily want you when the time comes."
Dakang people attach great importance to filial piety and believe that the body, hair and skin are all inherited from their parents and should not be easily damaged, so most people have never had their hair cut since they were born.
Every time Jin Feng went to the brick kiln, he wanted to cover his nose because the smell of those men was so strong.
You can imagine how much sweat these men sweated after working for a day.
But they don't like to wash their hair.
More than once, Jin Feng saw small bugs burrowing in the men's hair, which made Jin Feng's skin crawl.
This also leads him to try not to look at the other person's head when talking to him now.
Two jars of oil should be enough to make a lot of soap, and each household can have a piece.
In fact, soap and soap are too alkaline and will be astringent when used to wash hair, and are not good for the hair. Jin Feng once thought about making shampoo and asked Zhang Liang to buy a lot of soapberries and polygonum multiflorum from the county government.
Waiting for medicinal materials.
However, shampoo is not like soap, it is common sense, and the production process is relatively complicated. Jin Feng studied mechanics in his previous life, and his understanding of chemical engineering was limited, so he has never been successful in experiments.
Later, he followed Qinghuai to Weizhou, and the work of developing shampoo was put aside.
Now that I have some free time, I can try it out.
"A piece for each family?"
Guan Xiaorou asked with some distress: "How much lard will it take?"
"Don't worry, this oil is enough."
Jin Feng said: "I plan to sell the soap to others in the future. After the villagers use it, I can give them their opinions. It is considered a market survey."
Guan Xiaorou doesn't understand what market research is, but she thinks what Jin Feng said is right.
Jin Feng carried the oil jar into the blacksmith shop, where a warehouse full of small pots, stoves and other tools had been prepared.
Two hours later, Jin Feng poured the liquid soap into the mold prepared in advance. The preliminary work of making soap was over, and the next step was to wait.
When the saponification is complete and the liquid completely solidifies into a block, the soap is made.
Looking at the three large trays full of soap, Jin Feng's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Although the textile industry also makes money, the money comes in too slowly.
And eggs cannot be put in one basket.
The market space for daily necessities is absolutely huge, especially when there is no competition.
Greasy hair is a problem for almost all well-off people. If done properly, a small soap can definitely make money faster than the textile industry.
Of course, the textile industry cannot give up.
After all, food, clothing, housing and transportation come first.
Ordinary people can cook their own meals and live in their own houses, but very few can make kudzu into clothes.
You may not wash your hair, but you must not wear clothes.
Therefore, the prospects of the textile industry are also very bright, but there are many competitors.
Jin Feng and Mancang moved the soap to a ventilated place together, and Zhang Liang came back with his comrade Hei Da.
Following the two men were two thin men in ragged clothes.
"Xiao Feng, these two are brothers from the Tie Lin Army, Da Zhuang, and Tie Hammer."
Hei Big introduced it for a while, and then pointed at Jin Feng and said, "This is Mr. Jin."
"Brother Tieniu, that is, this gentleman is in Qingshui Valley. He defeated the party of the Tielin Army with the brothers of our Tielin Army?"
