Splendid peasant girl

Chapter 298 Let's take it to the laundry first!
Shen Qiqiao was worried as she stared at the white spots on the edge of the ceramic pot.

This is nothing like imagined soap.

But yes, modern soap factories are all high-end machines with various fragrances and even essential oils, so naturally they cannot compare with this pure handmade soap.

Besides, the plant ash solution is not very pure, and there are impurities in the vegetable oil. If it can be successfully made, it is a great harvest, and we can't ask too much.

Over time, the white foam inside gradually increased, but the color also deepened, and finally turned brown-red.

Shen Qiqiao was surprised, the color of the soap seemed a little too dark, right?
She grabbed a spoon, and then a sieve, and used the spoon to scoop out the brownish-red lumps. As long as they were put on the sieve to dry, they would be soap.

At this time, the saponified matter was still very soft, Shen Qiqiao carefully put it on, and then noticed that the color of the bottom of the ceramic pot was also very dark, so she understood.

"It's the raw material that doesn't work! It seems that next time I will put this vegetable oil in water and filter it to filter out the impurities in it."

The ancient vegetable oil did not have the modern finishing process, and many of them were directly ground with a millstone, and impurities would naturally be mixed in.

Especially in such small villages and mountain towns, the things inside are even more shoddy, far from being comparable to modern oil products.

In addition, the solution of plant ash is not very pure.

"It seems that there is a long way to go if we want to make a soap that can really make people take a bath! Yes, we need to get some fragrance or something?"

Shen Qiqiao stretched out a green finger and pressed it against her chin in thought.

It seems that some petals can be used to replace the essence. As for how to do it, this needs to be considered again.

As time passed, Shen Qiqiao fished out a lot of brown-red, some even gray-green saponified substances from the ceramic pot.

Pile these saponified materials together to dry, put them into a large bowl and flatten them when they are half dry and half wet, and when the plasticity is strong, then gently scrape them with a thin bamboo blade and pour them out.

In this way, a soap similar to a small bowl is made, just wait for it to dry completely.

Shen Qiqiao put the first piece of colorful soap she made on the bluestone used to sit outside to dry, and then continued to make the second piece.

Before making the second piece, she specially put the soaped hands into clean water and washed them. It turned out that her little hands were clean and not greasy at all. Now she was completely relieved, the effect was good, at least much better than saponins.

Repeating the previous practice, Shen Qiqiao produced the second bar of soap.

This time the soap has a much better appearance due to the previous experience. Although it is still colorful, there are a few places where a little bit of light can be seen.

This is a good phenomenon!

Then, the third piece, the fourth piece...

Shen Qiqiao used a whole bucket of vegetable oil, but only made five pieces of soap!
These soaps are only as big as a fist.

She was quite speechless, that barrel of oil cost a total of five hundred Wen!

Co-authoring this piece of soap is only the cost price of oil money, which is one hundred yuan?

dead expensive!

Shen Qiqiao finally realized that Ye Han slipped his tongue before, that pancreas is very expensive, quite expensive, and most people can't afford it.

The soap she makes costs so much just for oil, and that's not counting plant ash, labor costs...

"This soap is too expensive!" Shen Qiqiao stared at the five soaps and muttered, and then said, "Let's use it for laundry first!"
