I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 83 Saponin Soap
Two serfs came in carrying a large pile of black things and put them on the ground.

These are things that are as long as one and a half palms. The serfs only know that it is a kind of fruit called saponin tree, but they don't know what the lord asked them to pick it for.

It was Karis who asked curiously: "Master, what is the use of this?"

Lin En came over, and the serfs picked a lot of acacia, all according to his request, they were ripe and black, and a few were still a little blue.

"It's used to make soap locust soap. Are there many saponaria trees there?" Lynn asked.

"I counted carefully, and there are thirteen saponins in total." Karis replied.

"There are a lot of them, go and smash up these acacias."

With the serfs here, Lynn naturally didn't have to do the work himself. He directed the serfs to put the acacia in the stone container and beat it continuously with stones.

Carliss was puzzled, "Can this kind of fruit be used to make soap locust soap?"

He had heard of the word soap, but not many people seemed to use it.

"Well, yes."

Lin En is quite familiar with soaps. After removing those industrial soaps, there are two types of soaps made of common materials. One is made of pig pancreas and plant ash, also called pancreas, and the other is saponins. Soap up.

He is very familiar with these two production methods. He has done it with the elders in the family before. The production process is not difficult, and it can even be said to be very simple.

He had thought about using pig pancreas to make pancreas before, but the number of pigs raised here is still too small, and up to now, he has never killed a pig. The pork he ate before was air-dried. To make a soap to kill pigs, in Lynn's view, the gain outweighs the gain.

The news that Farr discovered the saponin tree really excited Lynn, because it meant that he could finally wash a little cleaner when taking a bath.

In addition, there are a lot of saponins trees, so that saponins soap can be made in batches.

The serfs had almost smashed the acacias, so Lynn asked Ellie to boil water and put all the acacias in it.

The boiling water boiled, and a strange smell wafted out of it, and the acacia inside had been boiled until soft.

Putting these acacias on the linen, the serf squeezed them vigorously, and the squeezed juice fell into the container.

Lynn added plant ash into it, stirred it a few times, filtered it with linen cloth, and placed it in the yard.

The servants and other serfs couldn't understand it, so they didn't understand what the lord meant.

On the contrary, Karis was thoughtful. He knew about the master's discovery of the mage's tower. He heard that those mysterious mages possessed a lot of weird knowledge. This should be one of them.

As time passed, the juice in the container had been stratified. Lynn took out the top lye and put it into the container separately, then poured olive oil into the new container, boiled the juice of acacia, and finally put Put alkaline water in it.

After everything was put in, Lynn kept stirring with a wooden stick, and he could see that the mixture was getting thicker and thicker, and he didn't stop until the wooden stick was sticky when it was taken out.

Putting these mixtures into the mold that Farr had made before, Lynn clapped his hands, "The production is completed, and we will know whether it can be used tomorrow."

The serfs had already left the castle, and the servants began to prepare meals after the master finished cooking this useless thing.

Lynn asked, "How's the situation the last few days?"

Carliss said: "My lord, those serfs are very enthusiastic about participating in the training. They will arrive within the specified time every day. After standing in the military posture, they run around the town. At first, many people couldn't keep up. Now it's much better. It’s just that the speed of progress in reading and writing is too slow, and some serfs don’t even know a single word.”

"Even so, they are still taught to read and write. In addition, they are rewarded for learning to read and write. The person who learns to read and write the fastest will get a piece of air-dried pork."

Karis opened his mouth slightly, and still said what was in his heart, "Master, in this way, the consumption rate of meat will increase. We have purchased a lot of livestock during this period, but it takes time to grow goats. Pigs, cows, cows, chickens, etc. are productive livestock and must be kept. Pigs and cows can be killed, traded or eaten, but I am afraid that their growth rate will not be as fast as that of being eaten.”

"It's okay, there are rewards that should be given. Besides, what I'm talking about is not a whole piece. Only by rewarding these serfs can they be motivated. If they pay properly, they will get a good harvest in the end." En doesn't care about these costs.

Now a relatively good cycle of development has been formed in the town, and there is no shortage of this meat.

"What's going on at the mine?"

"The serfs are mining non-stop. After they changed their tools, the mining speed has increased a lot, but not all serfs have tools. The blacksmiths are too slow to build them. A lot of iron ore has accumulated, but it is difficult to They are used quickly," Karis replied.

During this period of time, he often went to the mine to check the situation. After all, the ore was too important to cause any problems.

As a steward, Karis knew very well what it would be like to have a mining area in a territory, which represented wealth and danger.

"Well, don't the other towns have free folk coming over?"

"No, it's not a special situation. These free people will not easily leave the place where they live. These days, we not only went to Sheep Town to trade, but also went on to Pea Town."

"Pea Town, isn't it planted with patches of peas?" Lin En complained, "The nobles in this territory are interesting, and the name of the town is easy to remember."

"Master, you are right. Peas are the main crop there, and the main crop is peas. The serfs take care of the peas in the fields. There are not many shops in the town, but I found a special kind of white bread. A layer of boiled peas, which is said to be delicious."

"Pea bread." Lynn muttered.

"There are not many free people in Pea Town, and they mainly focus on farming. I found a blacksmith there and asked about it. He was unwilling to leave. In addition, I went to the serf market. The male serfs have been bought, but there will be another batch in a few days, and the serf market in Sheep Town also said so."

"Oh?" Lynn became interested, "Although serfs are common, isn't there something wrong with such frequent trading? It seems that the nobles in this territory are involved in the serf trade."
