Iron Dynasty

Chapter 51: soap bar

   The workshop area officially started construction in the cold winter. Xiao Ming also succeeded in gaining more than 900 mouths to eat. In addition, the recruits were about to enter the camp. This was 3,000 mouths to eat.

   Such continuous consumption of silver has made Xiao Ming suddenly feel the pressure, and besides business, he does not have any way to get rich quickly.

   So whether you are preparing your own business or using the Wang family and Qin family to make money, you can't wait for this money.

   After arranging the slaves, Xiao Ming went to the Wang's house and talked about the trade with the barbarians.

   "Your Majesty, our Wang family dare not bear such a serious crime." Before Xiao Ming finished speaking, Wang Chengchou knelt down with a "gudong", Wang Shijie also sweated on his forehead, and his whole body was like swinging.

   They got news that both the emperor and the queen had given money to the king of Qi, and the news from Chang'an also proved from the side that the emperor and the prince line seemed to rely on the king of Qi.

   This prince who was no one asked had a different meaning from a prince who was supervised. They used to dared to bully Xiao Ming's ignorance.

   But now the forces behind Xiao Ming made them have to carefully weigh the pros and cons. If Xiao Ming accused the Wang family of fornicating with foreign enemies because of this, the Wang family would probably be hacked.

   Even if the Wang family is powerful, they are not afraid of King Qi, and the Qingzhou army is not afraid. Then there are the emperor and the prince. When the army moves, the Wang family will be annihilated. It is only a matter of time.

   Xiao Ming was a little helpless. It was the first time he saw fear in Wang Chengchou's eyes. It seemed that Xiao Wenxuan and the queen gave him the money in time, so that he was enough to fake it.

He said: "Outside the king, brother Wang, get up, get up, this king is not here to punish the crime, presumably the two are also aware that a lot of cattle and sheep on the grassland in Huyantuo have been frozen to death this year, and now barbarian scouts are frequently outside the city of Cangzhou. Investigating the situation of the defenders, I guess both of you understand this."

Wang Chengchou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, I have heard about this. The cattle and sheep have indeed frozen to death a lot. The barbarians on the grasslands usually eat goat milk, beef and mutton. The cattle and sheep are frozen to death, and there are no cubs. After the beginning of spring, no cattle and sheep can be released, and the barbarians will be hungry.

   "Lieutenant Lu said the same thing, so there is only one easiest way to solve this problem and avoid the barbarian's siege of Cangzhou." Xiao Ming said.

   "His Royal Highness, please speak." Wang Chengchou said.

Xiao Ming didn't say it directly, because he didn't want to bear such a crime. He knocked on the side and prepared to give Wang Chengcao a pit jump. He said: "This cattle and sheep are dead, and the merchants naturally don't want them, but the meat oil of the cattle and sheep can be used. Those who come to refining soap, what would happen to the barbarians if the kings used food to exchange meat oil at this time? What the barbarians wanted was beef and mutton, and meat oil was not valuable to them. If these cheap meat oils were shipped back, they could be refined. What will happen outside the king when making large quantities of soap?"

   Wang Shijie and Wang Chengchou looked at each other with weird expressions.

   "Well, this is what the king said, and this king still hopes that Cangzhou will be safe." After saying this, Xiao Ming left the Wang family compound.

Wang Shijie immediately got up and sent Xiao Ming out, and after a while, he turned back and said to Wang Chengchou, "Father, your Highness is right. If you exchange food for meat and oil at this time, it will definitely be very profitable, and your Highness seems to encourage us to do it. ."

Wang Chengchou was still kneeling on the ground at this time. At this time, he slowly got up and sat down in a chair. "This King Qi is really unpredictable. He doesn't want to bear the charge of fornicating with foreign enemies and wants to resolve the danger in Cangzhou. Our Wang family cannot take this risk either."

   "Then what should I do?" Wang Shijie asked.

"Hey, it's not impossible. Why is it necessary for the Wang family to take action in this matter? You only need to let the matter go to the merchants in Cangzhou, saying that our Wang family buys meat oil, and then spread the way to exchange food from Huyantuo for meat oil. , Are you afraid that no one will go? At that time, we just spent more money, and it is better than to bear the charge. I don’t want to have a handle in the hands of King Qi like the Qin family." Wang Chengchou said, twisting his beard. .

   Wang Shijie gave a thumbs up, "Father, you are still smart."

  ……

   Seven days later, the Wang family shipped the first batch of meat oil to Qingzhou, and the last material for soap production was also available.

Although the news from various quarters proved that the Wang family did not use the set, Xiao Ming was excited about the large amount of meat oil this time. For this reason, he specially asked the Equipment Department to build five huge iron pots and chose the place to make soap. The workshop area.

  In the future, the soap production site will be here.

   "His Royal Highness, this oily smell, how do you use this soap?" Luluo followed Xiao Ming this time, insisting on seeing the soap production process.

   Since the concept of soap was put forward, news of the soap spread slowly in the palace and Qingzhou city.

   Of course, women are the most concerned about this kind of toiletries.

   There are five large stoves in front of Xiao Ming. Coal is burning in the stove. On top is a two-meter-wide iron pot, and the meat oil inside is steaming.

  Because it is winter, these meat oils have not rotted and deteriorated. The first step is to boil out the fat and oil. After all, the barbarians would not directly refine the oil for him.

   After the fat and the oil in the fat come out, the meat residue, skin and other things will be fished out. Now this step has been reached.

   "Hey~www.ltnovel.com~ The flavor I asked you to prepare was not for nothing." Xiao Ming said at this time.

   Luluo took a moment to understand, and said ashamed: "I thought your Highness was used to make perfume."

   This time Xiao Ming didn't avoid Wang Shijie, but asked him to come over in person. At this time, he saw Xiao Ming flirting with Luluo and couldn't help but envy, "Your Highness, good luck."

Luluo's face was red, and Xiao Ming stared at Wang Shijie. The boy said three words without leaving his line. He said: "This time I asked you to supervise the use of meat oil. My business has always been fair and just. Take advantage of your royal family."

   This time the meat oil was provided by the Wang family, so it would not be inappropriate for the Wang family to come, but Xiao Ming is not afraid that the soap technology will be learned, because this soda ash is the key to soap making.

   And this time Xiao Ming brought soda ash directly, and Wang Shijie didn't know what it was for.

   The uncooled meat oil is orange-yellow and transparent, which is no different from modern soybean oil. When the first pot of pure meat oil came out, Xiao Ming asked to pour the soda ash into it.

   At this time, there was a chemical reaction in the oil pan. After a while, the meat oil became viscous, like tofu brains, and then he let someone pour the essence into it and stir.

   When the soap in the oil pan was thick enough, he asked ten sturdy slaves to stand the iron pan and pour the soap into the prepared large square mold.

After cooling down, the soap liquid turned into a large solidified square, milky white in color, very clean, and exuding a faint fragrance. At this time, the slave responsible for cutting used a long knife to pull the soap into the square. Twine, cut the soap into standard small squares~www.ltnovel.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
