Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 34 Xiaoqing can do it too

Because he wanted to make soap, Li Wei bought a lot of things, and some of them were sent home by the store clerk.

After he finished packing these things and it was already dark, he ate something simple and was ready to rest.

Xiaoqing made a bed for him and then stood quietly aside.

Seeing that she hadn't left, Li Wei thought she was going to help him change clothes again, so he said:

"You go to sleep, I don't have to wait here anymore."

In this era, the masters of wealthy families always had maids to help them change clothes and wash themselves when they go to bed and wake up. Previously, he had to get up early in the morning to go to court for two days. Since it was too troublesome to wear official uniforms, Li Wei accepted it without any difficulty. Xiao Qing's service, but other times he is still used to doing it by himself.

Xiao Qing did not leave after hearing his words, but whispered with a slight blush:
"Master, actually...actually Xiaoqing can do it..."

Li Wei was stunned and wondered: "What can it be?"

"It's just...it's just...during the day, the master was downstairs and said he had no money..."

Xiaoqing's voice was like a mosquito, and her face turned red.

It's evening now, and the room is very quiet. Although Xiaoqing's voice is very low, Li Wei hears it clearly and understands it instantly.

The co-author was that during the day, Xiaoqing saw her behavior of looking at the brothel and sighing. She said it was okay, and Li Wei instantly understood what it was.

After understanding it, Li Wei suddenly blushed and argued forcefully: "It's nothing, you heard wrong, go to bed quickly, don't think about these messy things."

With that said, he quickly coaxed the little girl out. Xiaoqing was pushed out of the door and looked back at Li Wei.

Li Wei closed the door with a bang!
Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!
But having said that, Xiaoqing is actually quite handsome!
I didn't notice it before, but now I think about it, since I came back with myself, the food, food and accommodation have been pretty good. This little girl has become more and more beautiful, and she is no longer as dirty and sloppy as when she first met her. Although She is dressed in ordinary clothes, but she is still quite handsome.

"Ah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about? Go to sleep!"

Li Wei shook his head vigorously to get rid of these messy thoughts, turned around, blew out the lamp and lay down.

But when I lay down, I couldn't fall asleep. There were always two voices nagging in my head. One said, "It's okay, it's okay, maids in ancient times were like this..." The other said, "No, no, no, how old are you, a little girl?" How old are you..."

Xiao Qing returned to her room feeling a little disappointed. To be honest, if Li Wei really wanted to do something to her, she would be quite willing, otherwise she wouldn't take the initiative to say so today.

Li Wei was always very kind to her and never lost his temper. He often took the initiative to do the hard work at home and wouldn't let her do it. Xiaoqing didn't say he had seen or even heard of such a master.

Let alone the master, even for a normal couple, such a good husband is rare. How can she not be moved by such a beloved man.

……

The next day, Li Wei got up early and went to the palace again. What happened yesterday made him feel a little embarrassed, so he deliberately avoided Xiao Qing in the morning.

First, he checked in at Wenyuan Pavilion and asked about the situation. It was enough to have Wu Bozong in the cabinet now, and basically nothing happened to him, so he went to the Military War Bureau again.The craftsmen are progressing very quickly. The barrel and wooden stock have been built, mainly the precision gun parts. Li Wei designed the medicine tank, which is connected to the barrel through a small hole, and there is a medicine tank cover on it. When the trigger is pulled, the small clip holding the flint will pop down and rotate forward, knocking open the medicine tank cover. At the same time, it will rub with the fire sickle on the medicine tank cover to generate sparks, ignite the gunpowder in the medicine tank, and ignite the gun barrel through the ignition hole. of firing powder to achieve launch.

However, due to the poor performance of the spring, the craftsmen tried it several times, and almost always had to pull the trigger four or five times in succession before it could fire normally.

Li Wei asked them to use the steel frying method and the steel filling method, and kept trying, hoping to find a carbon spring steel with suitable carbon content. This could only be done slowly.

After arranging the craftsmen, Li Wei took advantage of the lunch break to report the situation to Zhu Yuanzhang, and went home to make soap in the afternoon.

Yesterday, he had already ordered Xiaoqing to prepare the things that should be prepared and wait for him.

At this time, a big pot has been set up in the kitchen. Xiaoqing is busy preparing various ingredients. There is a little sweat on her face. She is wearing a light blue dress. Although it is not gorgeous, it also highlights her slender figure. , her age is the most beautiful one. She doesn’t need any makeup, youth is her most beautiful makeup.

When Li Wei saw Xiao Qing at this time, something strange could not help but arise in his heart. He had never noticed it before. Ever since he had this idea last night, it felt like weeds had grown in his heart. He could no longer be like before. So indifferent.

"Master, you are back!"

Xiaoqing turned around and saw Li Wei, and immediately greeted him softly.

"Are you all ready?" Li Wei calmed down his distracting thoughts and responded.

"Well, Master, I have prepared all these things you told me." Xiao Qing said with a smile and an eyebrow.

"Okay then, let's get started."

Li Wei looked away guiltily and began to prepare soap.

To make soap, you must first prepare a solution of plant ash, which is an alkaline solution.

Sift the plant ash and boil the fine ash in a pot until it becomes a thick yellow plant ash solution. Use paper to filter out the impurities and set it aside for later use. This is the alkali solution.

It would be more convenient if there is caustic soda. However, the alkali in ancient times was soda ash. You can get caustic soda by mixing it with hydrated lime. To save trouble, Li Wei directly used plant ash instead.

In addition, alcohol is needed. This is simple and can be directly distilled.

Pour the purchased wine into a thin-mouthed porcelain bottle, connect the mouth of the bottle to a thin bamboo tube, and immerse the middle part of the bamboo tube in cold water. Then place the porcelain bottle in a small basin and heat it over low heat. Before the water boils, the alcohol It evaporates first, condenses along the bamboo tube and flows out into the prepared small porcelain bottle.

Distilling it three times is basically over 95% high alcohol. Add quicklime and filter it again to get [-]% pure alcohol.

Pure alcohol and clean distilled water are combined in a ratio of 1:3 to become 75% medical alcohol. This stuff is still very useful. Li Weiduo prepared some and kept it.

Then pour the oil into the pot and heat it, then continue to add the plant ash solution and alcohol. The function of alcohol is to make the oil and plant ash solution melt. Until there is no oil film on the surface and the solution becomes transparent, then add salt water. After salting out, a layer of light yellow substance appears on the upper layer, which is soap.

Take the soap out, add different pollen and spices, pour it into small wooden lattice molds and let it cool to form. Soaps of various colors and fragrances will come out!
The remaining liquid below is also a good thing. There is an ingredient in it called glycerin, which has many uses. Kaiselu for treating constipation is glycerin. It also has many other uses. You should keep it until you have the opportunity to study other things in the future. Things to use.
