In this spring, when people in the capital and surrounding areas were going crazy for soap, few people knew that a small businessman named Yang Ming gritted his teeth and took out 3,000 taels of silver and 3,000 pieces of soap to drive himself The caravan headed northwest.
Princess Yu, who has already taken over the power of soap, has been in trouble recently.
Countless tea bureaus, incense bureaus, and piano bureaus are rushing to invite her. In every occasion, she must be the protagonist.
The soap is not very high-end, but if you smell it carefully, there is still a slight fishy smell.
But I can¡¯t stand it¡¯s super decontamination ability.
Those so-called various soaps are like grandsons or little grandsons in front of soap. They are not on the same level at all.
Many stains that cannot be removed due to various accidents can basically be removed after rubbing and soaking in soap and biting on a stick of incense.
Clothes are just a small thing.
The key is to take a shower.
The capital is still in the north. Although it is not as cold and dry as the northeast and northwest, there is still not enough rain.
In this day and age, how many hygiene habits do people have? Even the princes and nobles have a lot of dirt on their bodies.
"It's just that there is a soap that can be used, so it can be cleaned up at least."
When they started to use soap to bathe, it would be a spectacle. The bathing water in the basins of every household was black, even the bathing water of women.
Despite being shy, people certainly feel the benefits.
After taking a shower, I felt as if I had lost a few pounds and felt very refreshed.
It is precisely because of this effect that soap is sought after by people.
And it is impossible for today¡¯s businessmen, rich men and noble families to know what frugality is.
Once they take a bath, they must rub it up and down, front and back, inside and out several times, and they even want to rub their skin off.
So basically after three or five times, a piece of soap will be clean.
Even if there are only the masters in a house, there are as few as seven or eight people and as many as dozens of people. If everyone uses it, even if they take a bath once every three to five days, this demand alone will last a month. It's easy to spend more than ten or twenty yuan.
In addition to daily washing of clothes, quilt covers, etc., it will be used even more.
Princess Yu recently received an order of about 10,000 yuan. Not counting the orders from the palace, based on the 3,000 people in the imperial clan and the ministers and nobles of the imperial palace, even if only one-third of them came. If you order more, you can get twenty yuan, and if you order less, you can only get five yuan.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away: Ordinary businessmen can only buy some scattered items from Miaoweilou, which are not enough for their own use. Where can I sell the excess?
But it¡¯s not easy either.
Now, not only are there no trial shops in Miaoweilou, even if you go to buy it, you often can¡¯t buy it. Now you are allowed to buy only one piece per person, and more will not be sold.
It is very difficult for others to buy it, but Princess Yu¡¯s boast is that there is no hope of making up for it in a short time.
The first two batches made a total of only 10,000 pieces of soap, of which more than 1,000 were sold in retail, and a few hundred were given to the crazy people for trial use. The palace gave 500, and Liu Mingjing and Liu Zhiyu each gave 100. piece.
Then he also gave Yang Ming three thousand yuan.
After all the calculations, Princess Yu only had 4,000 pieces of soap in her hands.
It will take at least forty days for the remaining soap to be ready for sale.
But Princess Yu was not panicked at all.
She accepted all the payment, but only gave one-third of the goods, and publicly said that the next batch would have to wait for some time.
Who doesn¡¯t want to wait, then take the money back.
No one really took the money back.
First, they don¡¯t have that face, and second, soap is indeed a daily necessity they like very much.
"If someone comes to your house as a guest, and you can't even take out a piece of soap to clean everyone's hands, do you think it's shabby or not?"
Of course, Princess Yu is not completely letting things go.
Today she came to the small courtyard that specializes in soap production, enduring the strong smell of lard and soda ash to see the production status.
Chi San, the thin general supervisor, accompanied her and told her about life.When chopping, brown sugar is used.
Brown sugar is the sugar obtained after processing the sugar cane juice. Because it also appears yellow, it is called brown sugar in some places.
As early as hundreds of years ago, brown sugar was the first sugar consumed in the Central Plains.
After extensive planting, it can not only be eaten by people in the Kang Dynasty, but can also be exported and sold to grasslands and small overseas countries. It is a leading product that can be taken anywhere.
Liu Mingqi is not a greedy person, so he did not think about making white sugar at first. Cakes and puddings can also be made with brown sugar.
But after the injury on his butt healed a little, Liu Mingqi suddenly felt that her family was still a little poor.
"If you take out eight thousand taels of gold, your parents will feel distressed for a while."
Even with the soap industry, it is still just one leg. It needs another leg to walk side by side with it.
In this matter, Liu Mingqi chose sugar.
As a Ph.D. in physics and chemistry, how to purify white sugar is too simple for Liu Mingqi.
But when it came to the actual operation, Liu Mingqi was still a little confused.
It¡¯s still the same reason.
The materials, tools and equipment that can be easily found in modern society do not exist in this world.
For example, multi-nozzles of jet vacuum aspirators, vertical pipeline sulfur fumigation neutralizers, drum vacuum filters, plate and frame filter presses, continuous settlers with stirring, etc., you let Liu Mingqi start from scratch. Isn¡¯t that a joke?
So there is no way, Liu Mingqi cannot use the sulfuric acid method or the carbonic acid method, and can only use the simplest and most primitive lime method.
The lime method only needs to pay attention to the temperature and pH.
In fact, the carbonic acid method only has one more carbon dioxide than the lime method.
But in the current state, it is simply a pipe dream to separate carbon dioxide on a large scale.
Men with engineering majors have always been very practical and will not dream about things.

Note: The earliest record of milk should be Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Biography of the Xiongnu": "The custom of the Xiongnu is that people eat the meat of animals, drink their juices and coat their skins, and animals eat grass and drink water, which can be transferred at any time." Here "drink their juices" , most historians believe it was milk, not cow blood.
At that time, the Guangdong and Guangxi areas in the south were still barbaric areas, so the habit of drinking buffalo milk was actually there, but it was not accepted by the orthodox Central Plains. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
