CHAPTER 40 EXPERIMENTAL SOAPS

Dr. Li prescribed a prescription one by one, and about 300 people need to take medicine. It’s a problem now. You can’t use a big pot to boil medicine and divide it randomly. After all, their prescriptions are different. It would be great if you had Chinese patent medicines, but unfortunately there wasn’t.

The casserole is still very cheap. Wu Song bought dozens of casseroles, and the family shared one. A few people who did not have a family member used one. This pot is mainly used to make medicine. He took the rice bowl to make rice in a large pot after eating.

Yaying is one of these refugees, a beautiful woman, but she is only 27 or 28 years old, and she is still with two boys. Her eldest son is eight years old and her second son is less than three years old. The family is ragged and the fire in the ground nest cannot be extinguished all night, otherwise it will really freeze to death.

Unlike other refugees, Yaying always opens her mouth to beg for food and almost never prays, not as slick as other refugees.

The eldest son is fine, he is strong at the age of eight. The second son has a cold and fever and thought he could not save it. Who knew that Wu Baozheng here actually invited a doctor. This doctor is also good at medical skills. After taking the medicine several times, his younger son's illness was cured.

"Can you come in?" A person's voice came from outside the ground nest. In fact, there was no door in the ground nest, only a straw curtain to block the wind.

Yaying hurriedly got up and greeted the door: "Please come in."

Two people came in, first a guard of seventeen or eighteen years old, and then Yaying knew him. Bao Zheng here, this place was so tall that he was so tall that he was on the roof.

This Baozheng said: "Your child is the youngest one. He is sick again. The supplies on my house are not abundant, so you can't give too much. Here are two kilograms of pork and ten kilograms of millet. You can give your child a small meal to eat to restore his health. There is also a piece of sheepskin to keep the child warm at night. From tomorrow on, children over six years old will go to the big tent to learn cultural lessons, and your child will also go."

Yaying couldn't believe that there were so-called great charity in this world, but most of them were deceived and robbed the world. Wu Baozheng was not rich, and he was so generous and careful. Although things were not worth much, who would be willing to give them to others?

I immediately burst into tears and said, "Thank you, mercy."

Wu Song helped Yaying up and said, "No need to be polite. Children here are treated like this. In a few days, they will arrange some handicraft work for you adults, make clothes, cook, or feed horses and raise pigs, just use their own strengths."

"I won't do this." Yaying was a little embarrassed.

Wu Song said: "You don't have to think too much, it doesn't matter if you don't. Just live here with peace of mind. Two meals a day are guaranteed, and no one will force you to work."

There is no pie in the world that can be eaten for nothing, so there is no food without labor.

"I can write, draw and manage shops." Yaying said. She regretted it after saying that, and she had all refugees, so how could she use writing, drawing and writing.

Unexpectedly, Wu Song was very happy and said, "You can also write and manage shops. This is a great skill. I will arrange a good job for you in a few days, and I will get a salary every month."

Yaying said: "I dare not ask for extravagant wages, I just need food and clothing."

Wu Song, Wu Yong and several others distributed a small amount of meat and millet to the refugees who needed special care. As for the ordinary refugees, they were not as good as sorghum rice, salted radish, and cabbage.

Wu Yong said: "It is a considerable expense for three hundred people to eat a day. There is no business these days. The coachmen have gone to mine and the pig iron smelted is thousands of kilograms. It is better to sell some pig iron and make some money, otherwise they will not make ends meet."

Wu Song said: "You must grit your teeth and persevere if you can't make ends meet. Although pig iron blocks are profitable, they make hard money. Processing mature iron products and processing them into steel products will increase by six or seven times. You don't have to worry about money. From tomorrow on, you can buy a shop in Yunzhou City and drive the route from Yunzhou to Yanggu to Dong'a. You don't have to worry about losing money or making money. Get up early every day. At least two carriages, a truck, a person, and the accompanying coaches and guards are also taking the car. This is fast."

Wu Yong said: "No problem, I will set off early tomorrow morning."

The express delivery and passenger transport drive three lines, and every day they depart in two directions. The number of cars increases or decreases according to the number of people and goods. This operation model is very simple. Just like the passenger bus, other cargoes have done this, but the price is expensive and does not collect bulk cargo. Wu Song not only collects bulk cargo, but also delivers goods to the door. It is the first one. At this point, the express delivery has taken shape.

Wu Yong was in charge of the new route, and there were many things to do. Wu Song was not easy. You should know that in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the one who wanted to do well was fist. Wu Song trained guards during the day, Luo Ping, Li Kui, and Ruan Xiaoqi, and others started training from the team members. Ruan Xiaoqi was very good at using his skills, but his skills were much worse in fist and foot, so he was still very hard to train. While Wu Song was training others, he was also training hard. Needless to say, Wu Song focused on training bows and arrows, and often shot dozens of times a day, and his arms with a thousand pounds of strength felt a little swollen. Another training event was riding horses. Wu Song could ride horses, but being able to ride horses and being able to ride horses and fight were two concepts. Everything had to be learned from the beginning.

In the evening, after a day of training, everyone went back to their room to rest after dinner. In the backyard of the cart shop, Wu Song began his experiment. This time, he did not make bearings, but soap, and there were paper and pens next to it for recording. The hairy boy helped him get it done.

The first step is to add water to the quicklime to react to the mature lime. The second step is to add the ripe lime to alkaline surface to produce caustic soda. Because the lime has too high impurities, the purity of the alkaline surface is not very good, and the caustic soda produced is not very good. The second time Wu Song filtered the ripe lime, which was much stronger this time, and produced the unsatisfactory caustic soda sodium hydroxide.

Sodium hydroxide reacts with oil to form soap paste. After processing and shaping, the soap paste is soap. It means it is a tall building that starts from the ground, but when it is made, it is like digging a chicken coop to dig a nest first.

After several nights of experiments, the assistant Mao kid was dozing off, and Wu Song was still working in high spirits.

On the fifth day, Wu Song finally found out the equipment of various raw materials and produced ten pieces of soap.

Early in the morning, the big guy trained on his own. Wu Song came to find Liu Xiaolan, who was boiling water to prepare for washing clothes.

"Xiaolan, get the big basin, I have a piece of dirty clothes to wash," Wu Song shouted.

When Xiaolan saw that the raw material was Luo Ping's jacket, the clothes were so big. Xiaolan said, "Brother, you put it there, I'll wash it later. How can you let you wash the clothes?"

"Then you wash it quickly and try it with my soap." Wu Song said as he handed Xiaolan the new soap. Xiaolan took a basin and poured water and immediately tried the effect of the soap.
