One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 8 Soap, Wax, Glycerin

"Girl"

"Brother, what's the matter with me?"

"From now on, you will go to the teacher's place to read with the children taken in by your family every day."

"No, brother, literacy is boring." My sister said coquettishly.

"No, if a woman is illiterate, she will have no future and will not be able to marry into a good family. Besides, you are considered a lady, so you must learn to read. You will also learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting in the future. I cannot take care of you for the rest of your life. You will eventually get married."

"Brother, I'll have to get married if I don't." My sister curled her lips and muttered in a low voice.

"No, how can a woman not marry? If I don't find a good family for you to marry, how can I be worthy of my parents' souls in heaven?"

"Okay, I understand. I will learn to read every day from now on." The little girl looked reluctant.

In the future, the stall will become bigger and bigger, and there will be no time to take care of the little girl. Forget it, let her future sister-in-law take care of her in the future. I don’t know if the housekeeper has chosen the servant I want.

"Xiao He, go and ask the housekeeper if the servants have been selected. Once you have chosen, tell the servants to wait for me in front of my locked room tomorrow morning."

"Well, sir, I will go and talk to the housekeeper right now."

I will be busier and busier in the future, with more and more things to do, and less free time. Being the boss is really not that easy. I have to find some help. I can’t just rely on the housekeeper. While I have some free time now, I want to Get some rest.

The next morning the chosen servants appeared at the door of my room.

"Good morning, sir, we are all ready."

"Well, okay, it seems that the housekeeper has told you. Today I am going to teach you something. Each of you will learn a process. Don't worry about how others learn. Just learn your step well. Once you have learned it, you can wait for your family later. When there are more people, you will have apprentices, and you will have to teach your apprentices; you will all live in newly built houses at the foot of the mountain, and your future work will be in workshops in the mountains. When you start working, your wages and benefits will increase. It’s definitely better than now.”

"Thank you, Master" everyone said in unison

"Okay, let's start now. You come in one by one. From Zhao Fei on, you will be the steward of the mountain workshop. Your task is to manage them. You don't have to come in to learn."

I divided the preparation of glycerin into several steps. In the process of preparing glycerin, soap and wax will be produced. The first step is to melt the lard in a hot pot, then dissolve the quicklime in water to make lime slurry, and then add Pour the baking soda into the lime slurry, then carefully take out the upper clear solution, which is sodium hydroxide, and finally pour the sodium hydroxide into the oil pan and stir thoroughly. The first step is completed, and the rest is waiting; The second step is to grate the brine cubes, add water and mix well. Wait for the yellow soap on the top layer of the oil pan to gradually solidify. Pick out the pure and largest soap that is not completely solidified. Add the rouge powder and stir evenly. Let it stand. , this part of the solidification is soap, and the second step is completed; in the third step, first skim out the remaining turbidity in the oil pan and put it in a separate place, pour the pre-mixed brine into it and stir vigorously Heating and waiting for solidification, the third step is completed. This part of the solidified material is wax; in the fourth step, first use stones, charcoal, cotton cloth, wooden barrels, and pipes to make a simple filter, and then dilute and clarify the remaining oil in the pan. The waste liquid is removed, and then the sediment inside is removed, and finally poured into the filter. The clear liquid that comes out is glycerin. It took a day to teach these four people. Having four people complete each of the four steps can avoid leaks to the greatest extent and improve production efficiency. After all, it is an assembly line operation for later generations. After having wax, fruit wine, and soap, the shop of labor and management can be opened.

"Xiao He, go and see if the housekeeper is in the house. If so, tell me to look for him?"

"Well, slave, let's go and take a look."

After a while, the housekeeper came over.

"Sir, are you looking for a certain family?"

"Well, yesterday I divided the production process into four steps and taught it to four people. You can assign an apprentice to each of these four people. In addition, I asked Zhao Fei to be the steward of the workshop, and he will be responsible for the work in the mountains from now on. Square.”

"Ok, no problem."

"Uncle An, go to the county town and buy some shops. When the workshops in the mountains produce soap, candles, and fruit wine, we will sell them in our own shops. The fruit wine can also be supplied to our own restaurants. The soap is made of Come take a shower and wash your clothes."

"Well, a certain family knows it. There have been more and more things going on lately, and I'm getting more and more tired."

"Uncle An, please be patient. You are the only one I can use now. Just bear with me. There will only be more and more things to do in the future. You are busy."

"A certain family is not complaining, but a certain family is lamenting that time is not forgiving. When people get older, their energy is not as good as before. A certain family is also happy. When the head of the family was here, I was never so busy. This is our Li A sign of prosperity for the family.”

"Uncle An, you are only in your forties now, and you don't think about getting married and having children? Tell me who you like, and we will marry him."

"Forget it. A certain family doesn't have the heart to marry and have children now. They probably won't have such thoughts in this life." The housekeeper said thoughtfully.

It seems that the housekeeper must have a past that he doesn't want to recall.

"A certain family actually had a wife and children. I hadn't come to work with the Li family at that time. A certain family was actually from the northwest, and their home was in a small town near the border of Xixia. Twenty years ago, during the early days of the Song-Xia War, Dangxiang Manzi They rushed into the vicinity of Yan'an Prefecture. Before a certain family, their wife and children could evacuate, the city was broken. After the city was broken, the gangsters massacred the city. It was terrible. A certain family watched helplessly as his wife and children were killed. They were helpless and died. The child was only three years old at the time, and Dangxiang Barbarian came and left in a hurry, without checking carefully. When someone woke up and found that he was still alive, he went to see his wife and children. As a result, they were not as lucky as me, and then I ran away. , and then he fainted after running for a while. When he woke up, he was on the owner’s carriage, and then he followed the owner to Fujian." The housekeeper said in a spirited way.

"Uncle An, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness."

"It's nothing, don't blame those who don't know. It's been more than years, and a certain family has almost forgotten it." The housekeeper looked at me with a smile on his face. Although it was a smile, I saw tears in the housekeeper's eyes.

"Young master, everything is fine. A certain family will go down first."

"Okay, take care of yourself and get some rest." The butler left melancholy.

It must have been the first battle of Pingxia City more than years ago. It is said that my father traveled far enough as a trader, from Fujian to Yan'an. The housekeeper is also really miserable. Alas, this is war, a war with aliens. No matter we win or lose, the injured are the common people, but we still have to fight. Since the Han people came into existence, we have been fighting against aliens. There is no way, who Let us occupy this fertile land. If we had not fought, we would have been drowned in the long river of history. This is not an ordinary war, this is a battle of survival. Either you die or I die. Look at those disappeared Races in the long history of history know that we cannot be careless in this war and cannot be merciful at all.
