After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Wang Buxi and Yan Tongchu were not outsiders, so Lumei briefly explained the matter to them.

After saying this, Lumei sighed, "Last year, four Baichuan academies were opened in Yunzhou, Xiangzhou, Henan, and Hezhong. I don't know why Dalang is so anxious that he wants to open two more this year! Why not wait for two more years and open another one when you have more money?"

Wang Buxi had never met Su Xuanming. When he heard about this, his first reaction was that the emperor's plan to sow discord had worked!

This is Su Dalang building up his own power! He also wants to ask the adults for money!

Isn't this just like a family with two sons, the eldest and the second son are fighting over the family property. They are afraid that the money in their old mother's hands will be returned to another person, so they want to get it for themselves first!

It was just a matter of estrangement. As it involved the adults' family affairs, Wang Buxi didn't say much: "My lord, what do you mean?"

"The child has grown up and has his own ideas. As a parent, we should help him if we can!"

Wang Buxi secretly sighed in his heart, thinking that Su Dalang might let down his master's loving heart.

Gu Nanxi was extremely worried!

Could God please show me a favor and send me a treasure chest?

Since coming to Yunzhou, I haven't had a single day of financial comfort!

A group of people in Yunzhou, who could cause the ground to shake three times with just one stomp of their foot, are all worried about a few pieces of silver!

The weak scholar, whose sense of existence was almost zero, stood up silently at this time and whispered: "Sir, I have something to offer you!"

Everyone present was surprised to find that there was a stranger in the lobby!

Then didn't he hear everything that everyone was talking about just now? !

Lumei looked at the weak scholar and blinked in confusion. It was strange. She had just walked past him, so why didn't she notice that there was someone next to him?

The weak scholar seemed to have long been accustomed to such treatment, and said calmly: "My name is Fang Yinnian, and I have a way to relieve the general's worries!"

"Say it quickly!"

Fang Yinnian asked someone to move the things from his car over.

I saw a servant coming in carrying two empty jars. There were two holes at the bottom of the jars, connected to a thin tube about half a foot long.

Wang Buxi and Yan Tongchu both found it very strange, but Gu Nanxi felt that the jar looked very familiar!

Fang Yinnian put the two jars aside, asked someone to bring a basin of charcoal, and then poured water into the charcoal basin, washing it like giving the charcoal a bath.

Wang Buxi looked puzzled: "What is this scholar planning to do?"

At this moment, Fang Yinnian no longer had the aura of a transparent man. Instead, he was as eye-catching as a superstar: "I still need some fine sand and pebbles."

"Go find it for him!" Gu Nanxi finally remembered what this was! Isn't this just a simplified version of a filter?

The weak scholar smiled at Gu Nanxi gratefully, and asked for another ten kilograms of lard, a few boxes of rouge and cotton cloth.

Lard is easy to get, and there is specially refined lard for sale on the streets.

After Fang Yinnian washed the charcoal, sand and stones, he took out a jar with a thin tube, spread cotton cloth on the bottom of the jar, put a layer of large pieces of charcoal on it, then another layer of cloth and then small pieces of charcoal, followed by fine sand, small pebbles and large pebbles, a total of five layers, taking up most of the jar. This rough filter was then completed.

"Is that the end of it?" Wang Bushi watched Fang Yinnian busy for a long time, but this was the only thing he got. He vaguely suspected that he had been cheated!

"Of course not!" Fang Yinnian asked for some quicklime and brine...

Seeing this, Gu Nanxi had already guessed what he was going to do.

Isn’t this a must-have for time travelers, soap?

Gu Nanxi felt a little disappointed. In fact, the nobles of the Great Zhou all had secret recipes for making soap, and those soaps even had fragrance.

Once this soap is launched, it can only make a little money from the common people.

However, not every household can afford such non-essential items.

However, considering that this person is most likely his fellow villager, Gu Nanxi decided to give Fang Yinnian a chance to show his talents.

Next, Fang Yinnian carried out the saponification reaction of the oil just as Gu Nanxi had expected.

He first dissolved quicklime in water to make lime slurry, and then poured baking soda into it to form some sediment and clear water.

He carefully used a porcelain bowl to skim off the clear liquid, fearing any mistakes. These clear liquids are also called caustic soda.

Pour the solution into a hot oil pan and stir thoroughly, and a saponification reaction will occur.

Seeing this, Gu Nanxi thought Fang Yinnian had finished. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Fang Yinnian stirring the marinated cubes.

At this time, the soap had begun to solidify in the soap pot, and Fang Yinnian hurriedly skimmed out the soap that had not yet completely solidified.

Then scoop out the remaining turbid material in the middle layer of the pot, mix it with the brine, stir and heat.

Seeing the finished product, Fang Yinnian smiled: "Lard plus caustic soda can make soap. Add hydrochloric acid and it can be made into wax!"

Gu Nanxi clapped her hands. If you want to travel through time, you should send science students! Look at them. They can do two different things with a piece of lard!

Wang Buxi lit a candle, which produced less smoke and brighter light, and was considered a high-quality candle.

Four pounds of lard can be used to make half a basin of high-quality candles and some soap, which is quite cost-effective.

This deal is done!

However, Yunzhou is still not wealthy enough, and not every household is willing to use candles for lighting, so they still have to sell them to Kyoto.

But this will increase costs and reduce profits.

A servant was trying to pour out the remaining half pot of waste liquid, but Fang Yinnian stopped him sternly: "Don't pour it out! Whether the general's worries can be relieved depends on this!"

what? !

Gu Nanxi widened her eyes. What could this be used for?

Fang Yinnian was seen guarding the pot of waste liquid like a treasure!

This pot of waste liquid is light yellow in color and smells very bad. No one present knows what it is used for!

Fang Yinnian poured the waste liquid into the filter, and soon, streams of clear water flowed out of the pipe...

Fang Yinnian looked at the clear water, his whole body glowing: "Adding this water to the fruit wine can remove the sourness and bitterness of the fruit wine, making it sweet, and also improve the taste of the fruit wine!"

!!!

Wang Buxi, Yan Tongchu and Gu Nanxi opened their mouths wide in disbelief!

If what Fang Yinnian said is true, then Yunzhou is really going to get rich!

The Great Zhou implemented a government-run liquor system. Except for the official restaurants registered by the government, no one was allowed to brew liquor privately. All foot shops could only buy liquor yeast from official restaurants or government-run liquor stores and then sell them.

However, this system does not include fruit wine!

Because the brewing level of fruit wine is extremely poor, the produced fruit wine is muddy, bitter and astringent. No one is willing to drink it unless they are very poor!

This fruit wine is extremely cheap!

If Yunzhou buys fruit wine at a low price, adds these clear liquids to make it into fine wine, and sells it at a high price!

I'm a darling!

What's the difference between this and making a profit? !

Gu Nanxi stood up suddenly, firmly grasped the weak scholar's hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "Odds change, but evens remain the same, fellow villager?"
