The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 44 Huimin Pharmacy Glass Factory Store
Soap, soap, shampoo. Zheng Xiong doesn't know much about it. Anyway, the effect of removing oil is good. I also told my family that this is very effective for washing clothes.

One episode of Pleasant Goat every day has become a routine, and Zheng Xiu is also immersed in it, and occasionally shows Zheng Xiong a picture album he has drawn.I have to say that when the children became interested, their motivation was very strong, and it felt a bit like reading comics.

Zheng Xiu is the same as all the girls raised in the deep boudoir, apart from learning to work as a female worker, this is what she likes the most, and she never tires of it, especially with Zheng Xiong's affirmation, her face is full of smiles.

Another day passed so quietly, and it was too late to recollect, and it was the next day.

Soap can be started, as long as there is oil, it can be made. After adding a few large pots and setting up a few stoves, it can be made.

The glass factory is also an experimental formula, and the manpower is very idle. A few people were called over to start the soap business.

Outdoors, it was very hot, and the pungent smell that came out from time to time was very sour and refreshing. Seeing this scene, Zheng Xiong asked someone to go to the pharmacy to get some simple masks to prevent accidents.

For the whole day, Zheng Xiong didn't go anywhere. When people are bored, they always like to be in a daze. Without any entertainment activities, they can only be so boring. In the middle, they just signed a few words on the documents sent.

The saponification reaction is very slow. A few large pots were boiled for two pots in a day, and more than 100 pieces of soap and several jars of glycerin were obtained. They were solidified in a cup, and the shape was not very good, and they were neatly stacked in the warehouse.

Wang Zheng was called.

"Have you found that shop yet? I have all the soap ready and I'm waiting to sell it for money. This oil is not cheap."

"My lord, I have seen a few houses today, and my subordinates feel that they are a bit expensive, so I plan to see a few more."

"No need, the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is. The contract period should be longer, five to ten years. What we want now is speed."

Zheng Xiong didn't have time to quarrel, this little money didn't matter, although the cost of soap was high, even if it was a regular dollar, it could still have half of the profit.The rent is all small money, and the shop will be bought when it makes money. Real estate speculation will never go out of fashion. In a few years, this house will definitely be as profitable as this fortunately hard-working soap.

"Yes, my lord, it's easy to handle this way. Today, my subordinate has taken a fancy to a shop. It's on the bank of the Qinhuai River. There is no shortage of tables, chairs, benches and everything in the shop. There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries who come and go, but the asking price is too expensive, so my subordinates dare not make their own decisions."

"That's it, go buy some sundries tomorrow, and it can be sold the day after tomorrow."

"My lord, I have to get a plaque. I don't know how to name it."

You have to think about it carefully. As a nameless person, you have to think about it carefully.

"Let's call it the glass factory store under Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau."

Wang Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, this name is really novel, shouldn't he choose a name with a few more pleasant words?For example, Zhenbao Pavilion, but my adults have already made up their minds, so I dare not talk too much.

"Yes, my lord."

Zheng Xiong also has his own considerations, the name sounds good, those who don't know the details are easy to find trouble, so he directly shows the brand of Huimin Pharmacy, which is convenient for the town.

As a formal government office, there is still some ostentation, not to mention the now famous Huimin Pharmacy, which can also attract traffic, kill two birds with one stone, and even with a nice name, it can't be eaten.

Zheng Xiong was secretly proud, and the name of the specialty store was officially confirmed.

The next day was another day of fishing, so don’t worry about the soap. Let’s see the effect first, and make a bunch of them. If you can’t sell them, you will feel uncomfortable, and the landlord’s money is also very tight.

On the afternoon of the same day, the opening was auspicious. Zheng Xiong unveiled the plaque, and the brand of the glass factory store under Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau was shining brightly. With the sound of firecrackers, the store officially opened.

The onlookers burst into applause, the scene was very good, Zheng Xiong was very happy, he didn't invite anyone, so he called Li Si and a few glass factories, Zheng Xiong didn't have such a big opening for a small store, so he invited someone to come and play.

It's just that the crowd watching the excitement is obviously not the target customer. When they come in and see the price, they leave.Slipping away, it is true that I can't afford it.

The desolation was in sharp contrast to the lively situation just now, and only three or two people were still on the counter looking at the glass bottles and soap, pointing fingers.

Zheng Xiong was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, these last few people saved some face for Zheng Xiong.

Zheng Xiong stayed for a while and then slipped away. I was embarrassed and thin-skinned.

Leaving an invited shopkeeper and a literate doctor in the pharmacy, let the doctor manage the accounts, and at least there is supervision between each other.Professional things are left to professional people, Zheng Xiong still understands that it is not good for an outsider to command an expert.

The shopkeeper was invited by Wang Zheng, and everything was done quickly, and he did not shy away from recommending acquaintances, which is understandable in the human society.

The warehouse in the backyard of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau was changed, and Zheng Xiong didn't go back, so he settled in the glass factory.

"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the little bird is saying it's early, why do you get up so early."

Humming nursery rhymes, another beautiful day.

"My lord, this is the account book of the specialty store yesterday."

After taking the account book from Er Gou, Zheng Xiong flipped through it. In the whole afternoon, there was no income. It was really hard to earn money,~~

"Go and tell them that the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. If you put things out, there are always people with knowledge. In addition, you can take out a piece or two of soap and show them the effect in front of the crowd. I really don't believe it. There are still things that can't be sold on the Qinhuai River."

Logically speaking, it shouldn't have this effect, but the development of things will not always move towards the goal you expected.

It has some effect, but the effect is not great. In two days, two glass bottles and a few bars of soap were sold.

Seeing the effect, Zheng Xiong is not in a hurry, let the bullets fly for a while, one will be two, one will be two, two will beget three, and three will beget all things.

In the next few days, business did improve a lot, but there were still more glass bottles sold, and some were in short supply.The production is limited, and the rare is the most expensive, which has caused the demand for glass bottles.The one-piece glass bottle is still very popular, although there are some flaws, but the flaws are not hidden, and the glass bottle is not very expensive, ten pennies, for the wealthy businessman Xungui, it is a matter of sprinkling water.

After all, there are still substitutes for soap, and the price is still a bit expensive. Usually, I buy a piece to see the effect, verify that it is really worth the money, or take people as a fool.

The glass factory has officially started, and the experimental ratio has not been put down, but the production has been increased, and the unique glass bottles are more popular.

Two people were drawn out to continue making soap to supplement consumption, and Zheng Xiong didn't care.

However, they were asked to work extra hours every night to make some sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Zheng Xiong didn't treat them badly, and they were paid overtime for overtime work, which was humane enough.

The employees of the glass factory were full of smiles, and Zheng Xiong was very pleased. There are not many people who take the initiative to pay overtime to employees like himself from ancient times to the present.

In a few days, the production of sulfuric acid and nitric acid has achieved certain results.That is, the temperature of the furnace is not high, the sealing of the container is not good, and the production of nitric acid is always stuck in a bottleneck.

Zheng Xiong personally gave instructions.

"You pull out a big glass cover first, improve the stove, put charcoal in it, and get a blower, do you know about the blower?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"You all know the bellows that are hand-cranked when threshing millet. That's about the same. Get a few more iron buckets and try blowing them in with the hand-crank bellows."

"If the temperature in the furnace is not enough, shake it hard for me."

"My lord, we have this, but it's not the same as what you described, please look at it, my lord."

Walking closer, there are four blowing skins, among which four suspenders are arranged on the big blowing skin, and the lower right part is an air duct.

Kind of embarrassing.

"Why haven't I seen it."

"Your Excellency may not have noticed that these four air outlets are blocked, and you may not be able to see them from the outside."

That being said, there are still some slanderous words, so when you come, just stand outside and walk around, and you can know what it is.

"If the temperature is not enough, then add a few more air outlets, otherwise, it will be useful to blow the air hard for me."

If you lose, you don't lose, Zheng Xiong still insisted, and couldn't help sighing.

Ancestral cow~~~
