Chapter 147 Soap
Jia Rong thought of the method of soap, which is in the chemistry textbook of junior high school. The principle is very simple, and Jia Rong has done it himself in the future world.
When I came to the Han Dynasty, I didn't have enough confidence to make soap. The main reason is the lack of raw materials. For example, caustic soda can't be found at all, but you can choose to replace it with grass and wood ash. Grease is easy to find, and it depends on God's will.
Jia Rong ordered Zhang Wei to immediately go to the craftsman's workshop to build a big pot, and then asked the soldiers to go to the market to buy a lot of animal grease, which was relatively simple.
In a closed hut, Liu Blacksmith is trying to make a fire. Jia Rong holds a big spoon in his left hand and keeps stirring. His right hand keeps adding something to the pot. His expression is very focused. The pot is constantly boiling. The room is like a steam room of later generations. Outside the hut, Zhang Wei takes five or six soldiers. It is closely guarded.
Jia Rong, who had been busy all morning, also realized this. He decisively ordered the soldiers to take out a big window on the wall. As soon as the wind blew, the heat in the house dissipated a lot.
A piece of rice paper was thrown into the burning flame by Jia Rong as garbage, and Liu Tiejiang was distressed.
The day passed quickly. Except for eating, Jia Rong and Liu Blacksmith spent the rest of the time in this closed cabin.
Jia Rong's head, face and clothes were covered with a thick layer of black smoke, which seemed to have escaped from Africa from a distance.
Jia Rong knew the clear proportion of soap production, but the raw materials were different, resulting in these proportions being completely inaccurate. Jia Rong did experiments again and again, recording the proportion. Until it was successful, Jia Rong did not remember how many times he failed, but each ratio was incomprehensible to Jia Rong as the Han Dynasty. The symbol is recorded. After a day, Jia Rong is sure that the soap can be made.
Three days later, when Jia Rong came out of the closed hut with a dirty face, he felt for the first time that the sun was so bright, the world was so big, and the spring breeze was so warm.
It finally succeeded. After unremitting efforts, the soap was finally made, but the pot in front of him was still a combination of glycerin and soap. As long as it was decomposed, Jia Rong was the inventor of the Han Dynasty and made the first soap.
Jia Rong happily took a hot bath, washed away the dirt from three days, and studied the soap. Jia Rong was very excited. With soap, it means that the money will roll in.
In fact, the things used by ancient people to wash clothes and bathe are also similar to soap. They call them pancreas, which are finely pounded with the internal organs of animals, and then completed through a series of processing. It is difficult to be elegant, and the effect is naturally not as good as soap.
Liu blacksmith circled around the big pot that was moved to the courtyard by the soldiers three times. He still didn't find anything strange about the mouth pot. It was just a pot of extremely sticky things. Is this what he got in exchange for a few days of hard work? However, looking at Jia Rong's excited face, Liu Blacksmith felt that things were not so simple.
A bucket of salt water was brought up. Jia Rong carefully sprinkled the salt water into the pot. He felt that it was almost time before he stopped standing aside and chatting with several soldiers. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army knew that Jia Rong had the habit of chatting with the soldiers, and the soldiers were also happy to chat with Jia Rong. They often complained about some problems that they felt unfair were through chat. It will be settled soon after suing Jia Rong.
Half an hour later, the things in the pot had fully reacted. Jia Rong gently took out part of the upper layer of it and put it next to his nose to smell it. He didn't smell any fragrance, but the fresh smell of soap shocked Jia Rong's spirit and did not add Naturally, the fragrance will not be fragrant. For the things created for the first time, Jia Rong became more and more pleasing to the eyes. If he had known that he had learned more in later generations, he would have come to ancient times to engage in scientific creation. By the way, he built a large Han Academy of Sciences, such as Mauser, Gatlin and so on. He was worried that he could not unify the world. Suddenly, Jia Rong remembered something, frowned tightly, and slowly unfolded after a long time.
As witnesses to the invention, several soldiers present and Liu Blacksmith were honored to be given a small piece.
The finished product alone is not enough, and the most important thing is to be effective. A soldier quickly brought a basin of water. Jia Rong washed it and felt very good. Not only did he wash his hands clean, but also left a faint freshness on it, and his washed hands also felt slippery.
The rest of the people were like this and were soon shocked by this small thing, because its cleaning effect was so obvious. Liu's burning hands were dark. When they were washed by this magical thing, they were immediately clean, but the water he washed turned black.
After being overjoyed, Liu Blacksmith also immediately realized the value of the things in front of him. As the leader of the craftsman's workshop for so long, if he didn't even have this vision, he would have been kicked down by Jia Rong long ago. It's a pity that he wasted such a good thing just now.
Jia Rong once again gave a death order: "No one can say anything here. Even if the closest people ask about it, they can't say it, otherwise they will be endlessly chased by the Xiliang army!"
The cold tone made several people present shudder. Liu Blacksmith repeatedly said that he would never say anything about it. For several soldiers, it was not so important. They didn't know how this thing was made at all, and Jia Rong still believed in their loyalty.
"Liu Blacksmith, from now on, all the blacksmiths in the workshop will go home and register one by one, including how long the blacksmith has been back. Is it really back home? Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Blacksmith Liu answered loudly.
As expected, soap will be welcomed by all consumers as soon as it comes out, and the price will be discussed with Su Shuang. After all, he is the real businessman. The substance decomposed by salt water is glycerin, which is also a good practical item. Applying it on your hands and face in winter can effectively prevent freezing and cracking.
With soap, Jia Rong is full of confidence, and when talking with Su Shuang, he will not be as passive as before.
For a while, all the grease in Lingzhou City was ordered to be acquired by Jia Rong. In order to avoid calculating, Jia Rong specially ordered the soldiers to buy many irrelevant items, which was confusing. I believe that no matter how smart the big man was, it would be difficult to imitate it for a while.
When they imitate it, the reputation of the soap they make has come out. At best, they can only make a little money.
The craftsman's workshop specially divided ten small houses to make soap. Dozens of soldiers guarded it day and night. Jia Rong even handed over a copy of the soap production method to Liu Blacksmith. There is no doubt that there is no doubt that they need to use it. Since these blacksmiths are willing to follow them all the way to Lingzhou, their loyalty is still worth considering.
Especially Liu Blacksmith, when he knew that this was the production method of magical things, he fell to the ground excitedly. He thought that he was a small Beiti County blacksmith. It was Jia Rong's step-by-step promotion that made him today. How can he not be grateful for the value of the formula in his hand. Liu Blacksmith also It's clear, and it's not too much to describe it as a city of value.
After the soap is produced, it will only become a consumer product at the upper level of society for the time being. In order to divide the grade, Jia Rong added essence to some soaps, and the soap naturally becomes soap. Compared with soap, soap is more precious and makes people feel more face-in-faced and more noble.
When Su Shuang couldn't wait, Jia Rong appeared. There was really nothing to visit in Lingzhou City. Su Shuang tasted all the food and drink. Su Shuang felt that the border county really could not be compared with the county cities in the mainland. Whether it was wine or vegetables, it was more than inferior, except for the strong folk customs.
"How have you been these days, Brother Su?" Jia Rong looked at Su Shuang's panda eyes and asked.
Su Shuanglang laughed and said, "Lingzhou City is really a good place. It is located on the border, and the people's style is bold. It's really a great honor for Zhiyuan to serve here." For Jia Rong's fairy painting, Su Shuang felt that he could bear anything, and his words against his will became very smooth.
Although Jia Rong has not been leaving home in the craftsman's workshop these days, he still knows all the situation in Lingzhou and said with a smile, "Since Brother Su lives very well here, let's live here. Although Lingzhou is poor, Brother Su can still afford to pay for food and clothing."
Su Shuang hurriedly said, "Zhiyuan's kindness has been received by my brother, but my father specially asked me to go back early before leaving. My father's order is difficult to disobey. I hope Zhiyuan will forgive me."
Jia Rong smiled faintly and took the lead in walking into the county government.
"I don't know how you think about what you said to Brother Su a few days ago?"
Su Shuang said with an embarrassed face, "I can't help you for my brother!" The assets of the family are still the master of my father, and I can't help even if I want to help my brother.
Emperor Su's dodged eyes naturally did not escape Jia Rong's eyes. He smiled carelessly and said, "It's still the same as before. Brother Su, don't make a conclusion early!"
Su Shuang wanted to say something more. Seeing Jia Rong's confident face, he stopped talking and looked at Jia Rong quietly. In fact, it was not impossible for the Su family to help Jia Rong. The key was that Jia Rong should give enough benefits. It's not early without profit. After all, there are only a few saints.
Jia Rong mysteriously took out a small piece of item from his arms and handed it to Su Shuang's hand. "Brother Su, what is this?"
Seeing this item in Su Shuang's resume, I can't say the name. I just feel that it is very slippery and there is nothing special about its appearance. He asked, "I don't know what kind of thing this is?"
Jia Rong smiled mysteriously, handed the already prepared ink to Su Shuang, and then drew a little on Su Shuang's hand with a brush.
"Brother Su, if you try to wash your hands with this, you will know." Jia Rong said with a smile.
The soldier had already brought a basin of water, and Su Shuang carefully washed his hands under the guidance of Jia Rong.
Jia Rong clearly saw that Su Shuang's expression gradually changed from initial surprise to shock.
