This land was contracted by me [farming]

Potassium ash is needed to make soft soap, and ice is needed to alternate hot and cold when distilling flower petals to extract hydrosol. There is no ice in the yamen.Zhao Keran asked Huo Yuan to help him go to the pharmacy in the county to buy ground cream and five flavors.

Ground frost is saltpeter.The five flavors are quicklime after calcination.Saltpeter is used as medicine to treat mainly headache, abdominal pain and gonorrhea.Lime is used as medicine to detoxify and corrode, suppress sores, stop bleeding, kill insects and relieve itching.

All the major pharmacies in Jingyang County were almost visited by Zhao Keran.

Ground frost dissolves in water and can absorb a lot of heat, which is the principle of ground frost making ice.Zhao Keran filled a small jar with water, and then put the small jar into a large jar filled with water.The water level is flush with the small pot, then add ground frost to the large pot, and the water in the small pot will slowly freeze.

This is water-separated ice making. In this way of making ice, the water in the small tank does not directly contact the ground frost, and the ice cubes made can be eaten.The ice cubes in the large tank can be used to extract the ground frost again through evaporation and crystallization, and reuse it.

The water used when distilling petals is preferably distilled water to reduce impurities and bacteria.Distilled water is obtained in the same way as pure dew.In order to save time, Zhao Keran directly used the spiritual spring water, and the petals were also picked from unknown white flowers in the space, which smelled very fragrant.

Zhao Keran set up the prepared small iron pot, put a bowl in the pot, spread the petals all over the pot, and finally filled it with water.Zhao Keran turned the lid upside down. This lid is specially made, and there is a cylindrical upside down in the middle that can drain the extracted pure dew into the bowl.

When you feel water vapor, put ice cubes made from ground frost in the middle of the upside-down pot lid.

The fragrance of flowers can be smelled in the air throughout the small courtyard.

Zhao Keran calculated the time to turn off the flame, and opened the lid when the heat dropped.

The aroma in the air immediately became more intense, and Zhao Keran, who was smoked, almost couldn't tell the direction of the aroma that hit his face.

"This flower is too fragrant, it smells like gardenia."

000 was also confused by the fragrance and felt a little dizzy with the code, [Brother Ran, the fragrance of your hydrosol is the same as perfume. ] "It may also be that the aura of the spiritual spring water stimulated more fragrance of flowers, which saves a lot of work." Zhao Keran mixed the extracted pure dew with the spiritual spring water, and made some cream again.

Because of the beef suet, not much cream was made.

Seeing that there was still a lot of pure dew left, Zhao Keran happened to make soap.For soap, beef suet can be replaced with lard.

The lime Huo Yuan bought is white, which means that the lime has no impurities and is relatively pure.Zhao Keran added water to the lime, and the lime reacted with water to mature the lime.Finally, after reacting slaked lime with plant ash, potassium ash can be obtained.

Use lard and potassium ash to add water and pure dew according to the proportion for saponification reaction, and finally get soft soap with fragrance.Soft soaps are not as strong as hard soaps and can deform when poked with your hands.It can also be made into liquid.

Zhao Keran tried it. Soft soap is easier to foam than hard soap, and the detergency is indeed not as strong as hard soap.Still, it's more than enough for a shower.

[000, is there anything cheaper over there that can be made in Jingyang? ] 000 flipped through it and said, [You have Brother Ran, here is a "Xiangpu", which records various ingredients for making incense, as well as formulas for tooth incense. 】 Toothy?

If 000 hadn't been mentioned, Zhao Keran probably wouldn't have thought of it.After coming to Dayuan for so long, the only thing he didn't worry about was brushing his teeth.

Dayuan's tooth powder is really easy to use.It's cheap, easy to use, and leaves your mouth feeling refreshed after using it.

He flipped through it, and one of the things that makes tooth incense is to refine honey.Dayuan's honey is like gold, so it is impossible for him to buy honey to make it.However, when it comes to honey, Zhao Keran is craving candy.Then make a maltose!

Zhao Keran went to Xu's house with a bamboo basket, and met Huo Yuan on the way out, hurriedly waved to Huo Yuan, and said: "Brother Yuan, please help me run again! Go to the shop selling Nanmi Buy some glutinous rice and come back! I’ll cook something delicious for you when I come back!”

Huo Yuan looked at Zhao Keran's leaving back, and didn't understand why the other party kept asking him to buy weird things recently.

Xu Wenwu had already told the concierge that if County Magistrate Zhao came to Xu's house, he would directly introduce him.

When Zhao Keran was brought to the study, Xu Wenwu was about to write a greeting card to Zhao Keran, and wanted to ask him to explain.He has great things to share with him.

"Oh! What a coincidence! Just as Xu was about to write a greeting card and send it to the Yamen, the county magistrate Zhao came to Xu's residence." Xu Wenwu almost lost sight of his eyes smiling.Zhao Keran was affected by the other party's good mood, and asked with a smile: "What's the happy event for Patriarch Xu, so happy?"

"The first batch of salt produced by Xu's salt lake using the beach drying method has been counted. The output is more than ten times higher than before, but it saves a lot of firewood and charcoal." Xu Wenwu said: "Also according to According to the order of the county magistrate, some were sent to the Salt Taxation Department. The Salt Taxation Department sent someone to send a message, saying that it would be reported under the name of 'Xu Yan'. But..."

Xu Wenwu paused, glanced at Zhao Keran, Zhao Keran was a little strange, and asked, "But what?"

"The lord also thanked the Xu family for their contribution to the beach sun method, saying that it is beneficial to the country and the people. It's just that this method was thought up by the county magistrate, but after talking with you, the lord of the Salt Tax Department still thought it was the Xu family's method. Xu then guessed whether the adults didn't want other people to know about it.

But Xu couldn't afford to benefit the country and the people, so he asked people to tell him that this method was also obtained by Xu from a hermit.Experts don't like false fame, and the Xu family is also unwilling to use other people's achievements to gain a good reputation for benefiting the country and the people.So when the adult is asked to play, don't say that the beach sun method was invented by the Xu family. "

Zhao Keran smiled and said, "You are a smart teammate."

Hearing this, Xu Wenwu knew that he had guessed right. Fortunately, he didn't say anything, which ruined the case of Zhao Xiao County Magistrate.

"By the way, the marriage ring is ready!" Xu Wenwu took out a small wooden box from his sleeve.The box was engraved with complicated patterns, and the small metal buckle in front of the wooden box was opened, and there were two pairs of rings emitting shimmering light inside.There is a hollow at the bottom of the wooden box, and the ring fits right into it. "This is 'Weijun'."

The body of the ring is made of silver, with a healing core embedded in it. The center part is light blue with powder, slightly purple, and the pink spreads outward.There are natural lines in the spiritual core, and the master in charge of cutting and engraving is ingenious, and kept the pattern like a flower, which happens to be in the middle.

If you look closely, you will find a delicate flower hidden in the center of this gemstone.

Xu Wenwu took out another box, which was embedded with a fire-type spiritual core.The body of this ring is made of gold, with patterns carved on it, the whole ring looks graceful and luxurious.Xu Wenwu said, "This is 'lovesickness'."

"My heart is only king, lovesickness like fire. You can name it." Zhao Keran carefully put the ring away, opened the bamboo basket, "Today, I also brought you good news. Take a look, Master Xu."

Xu Wenwu faintly smelled a fragrance when Zhao Keran came in.He just thought that the flowers in the courtyard became more delicate and more beautiful, and the fragrance was stronger than before.But after Zhao Keran opened the basket, the scent became more obvious.

"What are these...?"

Xu Wenwu's intuition told him that the magistrate Zhao Xiao was about to give him a big surprise.

"This is cream, ice cream and jade skin. Not only does it remove wrinkles, but it also has the effect of removing scars." The Lingquan water added by Zhao Keran has not been diluted with a lot of well water, and it is full of aura. If you persist in using it, the effect will be very good of.

"This is soap, it's used to wash clothes, and it has a strong ability to remove stains."

"This is soap. It is used for bathing and decontamination. It contains floral hydrosol. After washing, it can have a slight fragrance without incense."

"This is floral hydrosol. Spray some on clothes, and the aroma can last all day. Adding it to water to wash your face and hair is also good for your skin and hair."

"Also, this is the recipe for Yaxiang. Honey needs to be refined in it. Now I don't have the money to buy raw materials, so you can make this. There are many flavors, and it can be used in the same way as tooth powder, but Yaxiang is more fragrant than tooth powder. Use It can be said to be breathless after finishing."

"You and I still share these benefits fifty-five. How about it, Master Xu. Take these and the ring to sell in the south at the same time. Can you sell them for a good price?"

Xu Wenwu was so surprised that he was speechless. He lowered his head and took the cloth that recorded Yaxiang's prescription without reading a word.

What kind of fairy objects are these? These things, if you take out any of them, can support a family, and even pass them on from generation to generation.

And Zhao Keran even took them out for him to sell, and even gave him all the prescriptions of Yaxiang.This trust, Xu Wenwu, will never be repaid in his life.

"Master County Magistrate, how can the Xu family be so trusted and favored?"

Zhao Keran thought for a while and said, "How much can I make?"

...

After Xu Wenwu's moved tears flowed in his heart, they stopped directly in his eyes.This is simply a waste of his old Xu's feelings.

"Don't worry, the county magistrate, I will earn a fortune for you this time."

Zhao Keran is relieved now, these creams are not mass-produced due to the materials used, and rare things are more expensive.And if the spirit core is used as gems, gems are already expensive, so there should be hope for earning a mountain of gold.

"Patriarch Xu, making these things requires manpower and space. I also ask Patriarch Xu to help solve these, but one thing is that the water used for making must be picked from the well of the county government. The water there is better than other places. It has aura. The pure dew extracted from it is effective, other water extracts are not only ineffective, but also cause skin ulcers."

There are no impurities in the spiritual spring water, although the spiritual energy in the well water will be diluted a little.But at the same time, it can also eliminate the bacteria in the well water and keep the pure dew for a long time.Pure dew is the essence of natural extraction, which is difficult to preserve.If the sterilization is not done well, the bacteria in the pure dew will damage the skin, and severe skin ulcers are not sensational.

Therefore, Zhao Keran urged thousands of times to go to the county government office to fetch water.

Xu Wenwu knew the importance of this water and nodded repeatedly.Said that everything will be arranged in the near future, and workers will be ordered to use county government well water.Zhao Keran wrote down the materials and tools needed and handed them over to Xu Wenwu.

"People are looking for smart, sensible and obedient people. After the factory is built, I will teach them how to do it."

After arranging everything, Zhao Keran went back to the county office and prepared to make maltose.

The author has something to say: About saltpeter and lime used as medicine, Baidu Encyclopedia said.

Ice is made from water, and it doesn't matter if the ice has not been in contact with saltpeter.

The reactions of soft soap and potassium hydroxide are all checked online.The author himself has not done it.

"Xiangpu" Hong Chu (Song Dynasty) contains the prescription of Yaxiang.
