Chapter 248 Soap
Lin Xiazhi looked happily at the off-white hard lumps in the small bowl, because the powder was not stirred evenly, some of the off-white was darker, some were lighter, and it didn't look very good.
After looking through all the bowls of soap, Lin Xiazhi picked out a piece of pale gray soap, wet it with water and wiped it on his hands.
After rubbing his hands a few times, rich foam was formed, and the eyes of the two servants were straightened.
"I think Er Shao Fulang only applied a little bit, and there are so many bubbles, which are much more than that produced by rubbing saponin powder."
"No, it feels amazing, the second young husband is really a god."
"It still smells good. The two of us just stayed in the house and didn't use this, oh, soap. The fragrance is all over our bodies."
Lin Xiazhi rinsed his hands, and said to the two of them: "You two each choose a piece of soap, wash your hands with soap, it can be washed very quickly, try it quickly."
The two of them dared to use soap only after getting Lin Xiazhi's order. Maybe because they rubbed harder, they actually washed their hands cleaner than the skin in other places, and they looked much fairer.
"These two pieces of soap will be rewarded to both of you, and you must not tell anything about the soap." Lin Xiazhi was happy.
"Second young husband, you guys are awake, husband has already told us." The two servants bowed and thanked Lin Xiazhi with the soap in their hands.
They were the only ones who watched Lin Xiazhi make soap. In the future, the Cheng family would make soap or whatever would be beneficial to them. Lin Xiazhi was the one who supported them, how could they not be grateful.
Lin Xiazhi took the soap she had tried just now, picked out a few more pieces, and brought them back to his and Cheng Wenliu's house with the bowl and soap. She washed her hands and face with the soap she had tried. After washing, there was only a faint smell on her hands and face. Fragrance, not strong and very comfortable.
"Brother Xia, what is this?" Cheng Wenliu punched and came to wash up, and saw Lin Xiazhi holding a bowl to read.
Lin Xiazhi handed the soap to Cheng Wenliu's nose and asked him to smell the soap.
"A new balm?" Cheng Wenliu asked uncertainly.He could smell the scented powder in the bowl, but the shape and color were too much like balm, and the smell was not strong enough. Could it be that it has been left for too long?
Lin Xiazhi made a fool of himself: "You wet your hands first, then apply it on your hands, and then rub them together."
Cheng Wenliu followed Lin Xiazhi's instructions. The slippery feeling on his hands made him uncomfortable. After rubbing it twice, bubbles began to appear on his hands.
Lin Xiazhi continued: "Rinse it with water now."
Cheng Wenliu dried the hands that had washed away the bubbles, and was quite surprised by the clean taste of his hands: "Is this saponin?"
Lin Xiazhi laughed: "Haha, of course not, this is the soap made by your husband and I, isn't it very useful?"
"Soap?" Cheng Wenliu said the word, "Scented saponin, it is obvious that the raw material of soap is not saponin, what a genius invention."
Lin Xiazhi was a little embarrassed to be praised by Cheng Wenliu. He didn't invent soap, he was just a porter.
Leaving aside this question, Lin Xiazhi pulled Cheng Wenliu up: "Come on, let's take these soaps and give them to Dad, Mom, and the others."
"Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes." Cheng Wenliu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the clothes he was wearing now were only for punching in the morning.
"Then I'll go first, you can come here by yourself later." Lin Xiazhi shook off Cheng Wenliu and left.
Her husband abandoned her, so Cheng Wenliu had no choice but to go back to the house, change clothes quickly and go out to chase Lin Xiazhi.
Lin Xiazhi's newly made soap was welcomed by the whole family. Cheng's family all liked the lighter smell, and the soap diluted the fragrance of the powder, just in line with their taste.
Lin Xiazhi was quite dissatisfied with the bowl-shaped soap in his hand: "This time, I don't have a good-looking mold, so I can only put the soap in a bowl to shape it. Next time, let's try using rose-flavored powder and adding a little red flower Juice, and then use molds carved into the shape of rose flowers to make rows, which is much more beautiful than this.”
"Just hearing what you said, Brother Xia, I can imagine the Chinese rose soap you mentioned, and I'm afraid I'd be reluctant to use the soap." Cheng Fulang looked expectant.
"Brother Xia, let's start buying face powder right away, the soap you made is amazing." Father Cheng realized the business opportunity of soap after experiencing it.
Lin Xiazhi shouted from Father Cheng's back: "Father, we have to find a carpenter to make soap molds first."
"Okay, no problem, I'll find the carpenter for you in the morning." Father Cheng kept walking, and gestured with his back to Lin Xiazhi that he was okay.
"Look, he was so anxious, he didn't take it seriously when I told him about it last night." Cheng Fulang complained in the room.
Lin Xiazhi Yile: "The south has already started to produce fragrance powder. I heard that you have to book in advance, otherwise you will be in the back to get this year's new fragrance powder. If there is fragrance powder earlier, we can make more soap earlier."
Everyone made their own after breakfast. Cheng Luanjing's new story book had already written its ending, and it was time to prepare for the ending.
Lin Xiazhi took some good-looking soaps and went to him: "Brother Jing, would you like to help me promote Shiwaiyuan in your new book, and let my second cousin give you a gift when Shiwaiyuan opens? A gold membership card?"
"Propaganda?" Cheng Luanjing didn't understand Lin Xiazhi's meaning, what does propaganda refer to in the script.
"Well—for example, at the end of the script, you can mention that the two protagonists brought their children to Shiwaiyuan in Liaotai County to play, and write some scenes of the game. If you know anything, I can answer it for you at any time."
"Brother, I'll give it a try." Cheng Luanjing felt that Lin Xiazhi's statement was very interesting, and eagerly said, "Why don't I include Jufulou, Ten Miles of Fragrance, and One Sheep Eat More?"
"Don't you want others to know your identity? If you include all these stores, it will be easy for people to find out that the writer is closely related to the Cheng family, and they may guess that it is you." Lin Xiazhi shook his head. , "Thank you, Brother Jing, for your kindness. Is there anything new that can be written into the script in the future."
"Okay." Cheng Luanjing pursed his lips and agreed, "Then it will be no problem for me to write the soap in."
"Well, no problem." Lin Xiazhi nodded.
Lin Xiazhi had already told Cheng Fulang that the soap would not be sold by the Cheng family, they were only responsible for the production, and Cheng Jinyang would sell it in Liaotai County.
Soaps cannot give full play to their full value in the hands of the Cheng family. This kind of novelty and high-end items must be in the hands of the right people to sell them at the right price.
The soap made by Lin Xiazhi can not only cleanse the skin, but also adjust the fragrance according to the amount of powder added. The fragrance can be retained for a long time after washing, which is much easier to use than powder and balm.
For example, when bathing with soap, the scent is like the smell that emanates naturally from the skin. This alone can make soap a reason for many husbands to scramble for it, not to mention that soap can be made into various exquisite shapes.
Father Cheng said that he had found a carpenter for Lin Xiazhi in the morning, and sure enough, two carpenters came to the door not long after.
These two carpenters are not outside carpenters, but tenant farmers on the Cheng family's own farm. Their carpentry work was sent to them by the Cheng family to learn. In addition to farming on the Cheng family's own farm, they are doing some carpentry for the Cheng family. live.
The two are father and son. When they escaped from the famine, all other family members died and only they were left. The Cheng family took them in and told the little man about a marriage, and sent them to learn carpentry. They were very fond of the Cheng family. Sincerely was close to selling himself, that's why Father Cheng let them come over.
What Lin Xiazhi wants to do is actually very simple. The soap mold he conceived is divided into two types. One is a simple block shape, which is the same as the soap in the previous life. It can be made into a circular shape with thicker ends and thinner middle. It is also straight and square, and the logo of the soap brand can be engraved on both soaps.
In addition to these two shapes that are relatively regular, Lin Xiazhi is also planning to make some shaped soaps, which can be determined according to the coloring and fragrance added to the soap. For example, if adding rose powder, then carve one side of the soap into a rose flower If it is peach blossom powder, it can be carved into a peach blossom shape, or some leaves with a special fragrance can also be carved according to the shape of the leaves. In a word, it is to let people who buy soap see it at a glance. Soaps are different, higher end and worth paying more for.
Since Lin Xiazhi was going to ask Cheng Jinyang to sell the soap, it was up to Cheng Jinyang to decide what words or pictures to engrave on the soap.He had written half of his letter to Cheng Jinyang yesterday, and Lin Xiazhi planned to go back and continue writing after meeting the carpenter, and tried to send the letter today.
Lin Xiazhi described the two regular-shaped soap molds to two carpenters, and asked them to carve a batch out of wood first. After confirming that they understood, he went back to write letters.
This letter mainly introduced the various benefits of soap, and what kind of soap Lin Xiazhi envisioned, and explained that they were already experimenting with different soaps. The bowl-shaped soap was packed in a small package, which was sent to Liaotai County before lunch.
In addition to sending soap to Cheng Jinyang, Lin Xiazhi also sent some freshly made soaps to Lin's family, Uncle Lin's family, and Li's family. Although the color and shape are not good-looking, they are still very easy to use.
Before, Lin Xiazhi was a blind cat who caught a dead mouse, so he just used the right ratio of lard and lye. Since it will be mass-produced in the future, it cannot be done like this. There must be an accurate data support, how much lard and lye can make Make soap with proper hardness.
In addition to lye, the addition of face powder and pigments is also particular, and these must be formulated in specific ways.
In order to make soap, Cheng Fulang asked Lin Xiazhi not to worry about the Cheng family's general affairs for the time being, and waited until the soap was on the right track.
With Cheng Fulang's words, Lin Xiazhi simply soaked in the small courtyard isolated for making soap all day, and studied how to make soap with the two servants.
