After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 69 Proposals
"This is the soap I made! The rich people in the town use bath beans and scented pancreas for bathing, which are expensive and not durable. Mine is beautiful and durable, and it washes cleanly. After washing, the skin on my body will not feel dry. , and also has the effect of whitening and nourishing the skin, this soap needs flowers and fresh milk!"

Gu Qing brought Li Zheng a basin of water as he spoke, and then taught Li Zheng how to wash his hands with soap.

When I smelled the smell, I thought it was a rare thing. After soaking my hands, I saw my hands, which were full of black dirt accumulated over the years, and I dared not reach out to touch the crystal. soap.

It was Gu Qing who took her hand to apply a layer of soap on it, rubbing the bubbles, the faint scent of honey and flowers permeated immediately, and her hands were washed clean under Gu Qing's gentle rubbing, and they became whiter by a few degrees.

"Your soap is really good!" Lizheng is also a woman, no matter what age a woman is, there is no one who does not love beauty and cleanliness, "How much money does this one cost!"

"Auntie Lizheng, I opened a workshop, specializing in making soap. How about we circle a hill in our village to plant flowers, raise bees, and raise sheep to produce milk and sell it to me? This way everyone doesn't have to go to the town to find odd jobs, and can have a fixed income. Moreover, I will need manpower to open a workshop, and when the time comes, people from the village can still come to my workshop to work and earn wages!"

In fact, these Gu Qing had an idea when she took out the shower gel and shampoo for the first time, but at that time she really had no capital, but now it is different, she has money and land, and the [-] acres of wasteland she bought still have [-] acres Not moving, more than enough to build a workshop.

"It's good, but," Li Zheng said worriedly, "it takes time to raise bees and sheep for this kind of flower, and the income is too slow, and the villagers may not be happy about it!"

The temperament of the people in Gujia Village is more or less clear in their hearts.

"The income will not be slow!" Gu Qing patted her chest and promised: "I will build a workshop here, and I will plant flowers in the village. I have found all the flower seedlings, and I will plant roses, which will bloom in a month. As for bees, after autumn, eucalyptus, Galla can be harvested once during the flowering period. Around the end of October, during the flowering period of Duckfoot, if the weather is good, honey can be harvested once.

At that time, the roses we planted will bloom in a large area, and the bees will also collect honey. Generally speaking, the live frame breeding in mountainous areas will inevitably harvest a lot of honey. These honeys are good things. You can eat them yourself, sell them to me, or get them. sold in town.

As for sheep, we can buy adult sheep. As for the capital, I can lend it to the village. Our mountains are full of grass, so we don’t have to worry about raising sheep! "

"What?" Lizheng asked in disbelief, "You mean you pay for all the capital?"

Gu Qing nodded: "Yes, I will do it. If you don't want to, I will do it myself. I will buy a mountain from the village, and then hire the villagers to work for me. But the ugly words are ahead, and I will earn money by then. People in the village should not only be jealous!"

Lizheng took out a pipe, took two puffs of puffs, his heart sank, he stood up and said: "Okay, I will notify you now, and see what everyone thinks!"

After Lizheng left, Gu Qing boiled hot water, took a shower and washed her hair.

The wooden bucket for bathing is very large, and it takes two buckets of hot water and three or four buckets of cold water to fill it up.

Although it was a waste of water, she didn't wash with a wooden bucket every day. She basically carried a bucket of water and drenched it. It took about seven or eight days to use the tub once. Sitting in the tub, she felt comfortable physically and mentally.

She bathes with the soap she bought from the mall, while the others use the body wash she bought from the mall. They almost wash their hair with rice water, and they use plant ash to wash their clothes... As for bath beans, fragrant pancreas, etc. It is something that the upper class can afford, and ordinary people have nowhere to buy it.

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

Buying it from the mall is worse than trying to make soap herself.

In her previous life, she had watched many videos teaching people to make soap, and the making in them was so simple that the whole process could be completed with local materials.

When I woke up in the morning, Gu Qing planned to try it first to see if she could do it successfully. What she learned on paper was superficial. It takes practice to draw conclusions.

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 Li was going to order pig offal, and Gu Qing was studying how to make soap in the yard.

All the raw materials were placed in front of her eyes, a pile of plant ash, a pot of boiled lard, a pot of wine, and a large pot made of ceramics.

Gu Yu was feeding the chicken, and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you doing, do you want my help?"

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

She couldn't do it alone, so she said, "Put this pot on the stove first."

Gu Yu didn't know when there was such a pot in the house, but he didn't ask any more questions, he picked it up and put it on the stove.

Gu Qing called Gu Nuo to filter the plant ash with her, filtered out some unburned wood and mud and stones, then poured the pure plant ash into the porcelain pot, added twice as much water, and kept stirring.

The reason why porcelain pots are used instead of iron pots is that after the plant ash is boiled and precipitated at high temperature, a high concentration of lye will be produced, and iron and alkali will have a chemical reaction, so avoid it as much as possible.

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

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

Immediately afterwards, pour the prepared lard and alcohol into the porcelain pot, and stir vigorously while attacking fiercely.

After all, Gu Yu was a child. After stirring with the mallet for a while, he couldn't hold it anymore, and quickly shouted: "Brother Rong, come and help me!"

Dong Rong didn't go out, but kept busy at home, and came over immediately when he heard the call.

He took the mallet to stir the high-temperature solution, and asked very puzzled: "Patriarch, what are you going to do with this, it looks weird..."

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

If it fails, wouldn't it make them happy in vain.

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

Gu Qing laughed, now 80.00% of the success has been achieved.

She dropped a drop of water into it, and the water completely melted in, which meant the chemical reaction was over.

She poured in the salt water that had been prepared, and the solution in the pot suddenly began to roll up and down, and then stirred rapidly. This step is called salting out, which is to separate the light yellow substance and increase the hardness of the finished product.

In the end, the pale yellow precipitate that disintegrates is soap.

Only then did Gu Qing realize that she didn't make a mold in advance, so she had no choice but to ask Gu Yu to go to the old Gu's house to cut bamboo tubes, because people in the old house can weave bamboo, and there are several bamboos in the yard all the year round. He ran over quickly with the hatchet, and after a while, he brought back more than ten bamboo tubes.

Gu Qing poured the precipitated soft solution into the bamboo tubes, unexpectedly filled 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 thick, and they were very curious about what it was, but Gu Qing didn't say anything.

When they took a shower at night, the two of them would know.
