The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 71 The Soap Becomes
Zhao Yunlan has been at home these days, and went to the fields with Old Man Li early in the morning and evening while the sun was still out, and when the sun shone, Old Man Li led the team back.

The family lived in perfect order all day long, and Zhao Yunlan just waited for the pieces of soap to take shape.The main reason is that the temperature is too high, so Zhao Yunlan tried her best to store it in a cool place.

Zhao Yunlan even spent some money to buy some ice from the county, but the ice here is too expensive, and Zhao Yunlan was reluctant to use it when she bought it.

Zhao Yunlan knew from Mrs. Liu that this dynasty had mastered the method of making ice with saltpeter, but this saltpeter was in the hands of the government, and it was difficult for ordinary people to buy it.

Court officials will receive ice tickets every summer, and with ice tickets, they can go to the Ministry of Ice Administration to get ice, but ordinary people can only save more ice in winter or buy it in special ice shops.There are two types of shops that sell ice. One is the ice shop under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Ice Administration. The price is cheap, but the daily supply is not much.The other is the business of some merchants or wealthy households. Generally, this kind of store has a lot of storage in winter, and the family has the strength to dig a deep cellar for storing ice cubes. However, the ice sold in this kind of ice shop is more expensive. .

Zhao Yunlan bought the ice at a store in the county, and the two big pieces of ice, which looked like two hundred catties, cost almost a tael of silver.Thinking about the fact that the ice melted, there might not even be two hundred catties of water. Zhao Yunlan felt distressed for a long time to buy two hundred catties of water for nearly a tael of silver, and the price of the ice could not be told to old man Li. Fearing that old man Li would not be able to accept it again, he pouted over it. It is most likely to get angry in such a hot day.

Zhao Yunlan also wanted to go to the pharmacy to buy saltpeter, but aside from the small amount of saltpeter in the pharmacy, you can only buy this saltpeter according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor, and it is not easy to sell it separately.

Zhao Yunlan sighed, thinking that even here she would not be able to realize the freedom of using ice. In this scorching summer, having a bowl of red bean smoothie is an extravagant wish!

The more Zhao Yunlan thought about it, the more she longed for a piece of ice next to her. She was so impatient, Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan's distressed look, and asked, "Lady, what's wrong? Let's go to the town to see the doctor!"

Zhao Yunlan calmed down, and looked at Li Mingren resentfully: "Read your book carefully."

Li Mingren could now understand Zhao Yunlan's tone. Hearing this tone, he guessed that the lady had thought about the need to study and get a good name in order to do it.

When the ice used to store the soap also melted, Zhao Yunlan looked at the two basins of water, her heart was bleeding, and she could only pray that the soap this time would be a success.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yunlan once again opened the newly made five tubes of soap with anticipation.

This time, old man Li and Li Mingli had learned their lesson and didn't rush to try it out.It was Li Mingren who came over and said, "Lady, let me try it for you. I can use four hands and two feet, and I can try one on my face." Li Mingren was worried that Zhao Yunlan would hurt his hand if he tried it by himself, so he came here Offered to try these soaps.

It was rare for Zhao Yunlan to think that Li Mingren was cute, and she didn't refuse: "Then try these two, just try one a day and use it to wash your hands, and I'll do the next three, I have confidence in myself."

Li Mingren took No. [-] and No. [-] soap to try.After washing my hands, it is not as serious as peeling, but there is still some redness.Zhao Yunlan used No. [-] soap to wash her hands, this time it was good, her hands were not red after using it, and her hands were clean.No. [-] and No. [-] are also good to use, but No. [-] washes out less foam, Zhao Yunlan is happy, and No. [-] feels the best.

Zhao Yunlan was happy that it finally succeeded, but she was worried that everyone's skin type was different, so she asked her family members to use No. [-], No. [-], No. [-] to try.

Zhao Yunlan finally ordered No. [-] to be laundry soap for washing clothes, No. [-] was used to wash the body and hands, and it was called soap, and No. [-] was not as clean as the previous two, so she gave up.

Zhao Yunlan reconstituted new soap according to the previous formula of No. [-] and No. [-].Add the dried flowers before to the soap, and use some wood dan and calyx to make the fragrance.

Zhao Yunlan made ten pieces of laundry soap and ten pieces of scented soap. She pressed the modern soap box and asked Li Mingren to draw it. Old man Li and Li Mingli processed it according to the drawings.

Li Mingren also melted orchids on the drawing, Zhao Yunlan looked at it, it could just be used as a trademark!

Zhao Yunlan asked old man Li and Li Mingli if they could carve on it, old man Li waved his hand, and Li Mingli said he could give it a try. After trying it all night, it finally looked like it.Zhao Yunlan put away Li Mingren's original drawing and put it in the cabinet.Li Mingren was very happy when he saw it, but he didn't know that Zhao Yunlan had just formed a sense of trademark and patent.

In order to make the 20 yuan soap solidify earlier, Zhao Yunlan deliberately brought back a truckload of ice. Zhao Yunlan didn't feel sorry for the ice money now, after all, she was sure that the soap was feasible.

Seeing this, old man Li came over and said, "Put a basin of ice from this car and take it to the room at night! Your mother is so hot that she can't sleep well at night."

Li Mingli heard: "Sister-in-law, I also want it in my room."

Li Mingmei also wanted to raise her hand.

Zhao Yunlan answered one by one without hesitation.

Mrs. Wang said to Old Man Li, "Use it if you want, why use me as a cover."

Old man Li smiled and turned to ask Zhao Yunlan: "How much money is this car ice?"

Zhao Yunlan thought that the old man Li could accept the use of ice, so he probably knew the price of ice, so she told the truth: "Father, this cart of ice costs ten taels of silver."

Old man Li gasped, Li Mingli hurried to support him, and saw old man Li said: "No one can use ice at night."

Old man Li didn't know the price of the ice. Today he saw Zhao Yunlan pulling a cart back and thought the ice might be cheap. Otherwise, which farmer's brains are going to spend this money!

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself: I must have lost my mind.

Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to comfort her: "Father, wait until the soap is sold, then the money for buying ice will be earned back, this soap is worth more than this ice, and then I will buy you a cart of ice and put it in the house for slow use. "

Upon hearing Zhao Yunlan's words, Mrs. Wang said, "Lan Niang, you came up with the idea of ​​making this soap yourself, and it's your own business. This ice! You can use it as you need it. If the family members want to use ice, just use it." The public pays for it.”

Just as Zhao Yunlan was about to retort, Mrs. Wang continued, "Lan Niang, the Li family owes you too much. You can keep the money from selling soap and make decisions for yourself."

Zhao Yunlan's heart was warm, and then she slowly opened her mouth: "Mom, although I made this soap, everyone in the family helped me! I thought we would share it, and just say that after it is done, Dad and the others will help me." It is also very important to try it out. Not to mention that my father and third brother helped me make the soap box, and my husband also turned the blueprint. I thought, then share it together, so that no one loses."

Wang: "Lan Niang, listen to me, this soap will be considered your private house. You will have to pay [-]% to the public at that time, and the family expenses will vary, so let's do it!"

Zhao Yunlan saw that she couldn't resist, so she agreed, and it would be better if she got more money.
