Chapter 27: Even More Supernatural than Soap(1/2)

In this spring, when people in the capital and surrounding areas were crazy about soap, few people knew that a small businessman named Yang Ming gritted his teeth and took out three thousand taels of silver, took three thousand pieces of soap, drove his caravan all the way to the northwest.

Princess Yu, who has already taken over the power of soap, has been doing well recently.

Countless tea, incense, and piano bureaus are rushing to invite her, and she must be the protagonist in every occasion.

Soap is not very high-end, and there is still a slight smell of fishy smell when you smell it carefully.

But it cannot withstand its decontamination ability is super strong.

Those so-called various pancreas are grandsons or young grandsons in front of soap, which are not of the same level at all.

Many stains that cannot be removed due to accidents can basically be removed after rubbing, soaking and biting the soap for a stick of incense.

Clothes are just trivial matters.

The key is to take a bath.

The location of 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 era, how many hygiene habits do people have? Even princes and nobles are full of dirt.

But there are pancreatic seeds that can be used, and at least it can be cleaned up.

When they start taking baths with soap, it will be spectacular. The bath water in every household is black and dirty, even the bath water for women is like this.

While shy, people certainly feel the benefits.

After taking a shower, my whole body seemed to have been lighter, and it was very refreshing.

Even when the couple has a human relationship, their nature can be doubled and they are very happy.

It is precisely because soap has such an effect that it has gained popularity among people.

Moreover, today's merchants, wealthy, nobles and nobles cannot know what saving is.

Once they take a shower, they must rub them up and down, back and forth, inside and out several times, and even wish they could even rub their skin down.

So basically after three or five times, a piece of soap will be used cleanly.

Even if there are only owners in a mansion, there are only seven or eight people and dozens of people. If everyone uses it, even if it takes a bath every three or five days, it is easy to use more than ten or twenty yuan a month for this requirement.

With the daily washing of clothes, quilt covers, etc., it will be used more.

Princess Yu recently received orders of about 10,000 yuan, not counting orders from the palace. Based on the 3,000 people in the royal family, and according to the calculations of the officials, nobles, etc., even if only one-third of the people come to order, the more can get twenty yuan, and the less can only get five yuan.

This is just the noble court officials and ordinary businessmen, at most, can only buy some scattered items in Miaoweilou, and they are not big enough for their own use. Where can I sell the extra items?

But this is not easy either.

现在妙味楼不但没有了试用的,就算是你去买,也经常买不到,现在允许买的就一人一块而已,多了不卖.

Then again.

It is very difficult for others to buy, but Princess Yu brags about this, but there is no hope of making up for it in a short period of time.

The first two batches made a total of 10,000 yuan, of which more than 1,000 yuan were sold, and tried several hundred yuan for the crazy people. The palace gave five hundred yuan, and Liu Mingjing and Liu Zhiyu each gave another hundred yuan.

Then he also granted Yang Ming three thousand yuan.

With a full calculation, Princess Yu only had four thousand pieces of soap in her hand.

The remaining soap will take at least forty days to be formed and sold.

But Princess Yu was not panicked at all.

She accepted all the payment for the goods, but only gave one-third of the goods, and publicly said that the next batch would have to wait for a while.

If anyone doesn't want to wait, then take the money back.

No one took the money back.

One is that they don’t have that face, and the other is that soap is indeed a necessity for life that they like very much.

If someone comes to visit your house, you can't take out a single soap and cleanse your hands. Do you think it's cold or not?

Of course, Princess Yu was not completely letting herself go.

Today she came to a small courtyard specializing in soap production, enduring the strong smell of lard and soda ash to see the production status.

Chi San, the thin director, accompanied her and told her about the delivery process.

Princess Yu couldn't stand the smell in the previous few steps and asked nothing along the way.

Seeing the soap filled with grids and sent to the special room for drying in the shade, Princess Yu said: "San'er, why can only dry in the shade, not dry, or dry in the sun? Can't this speed be accelerated?"

"Your Highness said that after drying in other ways, the ingredients in the soap will change, so that it will not easily condense into blocks." Chi San said: "We actually did this in the first batch, but the soap has never been formed. Even if it is formed, it will become soft as soon as it is pinched, which is very difficult to use."

"But this time is too much. It's obviously the last step away, but it's too late to deliver it." Princess Yu said regretfully.

Chi San said respectfully: "Your Highness tells us that making these things is a complete process. You must not reduce the process just because you want to omit any step. This will lead to serious consequences."

"Don't just talk with Qi'er all the time." Princess Yu said with a funny look, "You are not old, why are you talking so old?"

"Reply to the princess," Chi San lowered his voice a little, "I am not so mature, and I can't suppress these old people."

Princess Yu smiled.

She had seen it just now. Many of the people working inside were known to her. Although her status was not high, she was indeed brought by her parents' home or their children.

Although Chi San is his son's confidant, he is too young and does not have a position in the mansion. If he had not had the richest experience in making soap, he would have been unable to suppress this group of people long ago.

"Tell me my order." Princess Yu turned her head and said to her close maid, "Chi San was loyal and worked hard, and rewarded ten taels of silver and served as the deputy general manager of the soap making. All matters in this courtyard are subject to Chi San."

It is true that my mother's family is a relative, but it is still much further away from her son.

Since Chi San is his son's confidant, he should train him.

"yes."

The maid agreed.

Chi San next to him was overjoyed and immediately bowed to the end, "Thank you Princess!"

He is only sixteen years old this year, but unexpectedly he was appointed to a position. How can he be in the mansion be lower in the future?

With such a deputy general manager, he can do things for His Highness in a better way.

"Do it well, I won't treat you badly." Princess Yu continued to walk forward, "By the way, what are Qi'er doing recently?"

Young people recover quickly.

Chi San was beaten to the point of being beaten by the embroidered guard and was already doing as usual.

Liu Mingqi has been blamed for six or seven days and can walk normally. Otherwise, how would he teach the imperial chef in the palace arrive?

"Your Highness said that the taste of these cakes and pudding is not enough, and he needs to make more improvements." Chi San replied.

"This silly child has already made it so delicious, so why does it take so much trouble?" Princess Yu smiled unconsciously.

Of course, Liu Mingqi is not only good to outsiders. The time he gave Princess Changle cake, he also made a copy for his parents.

The same was true for the pudding since then, and it was deeply loved by Princess Yu.

Thinking of her son almost encountering an unexpected accident, she became so naughty, but now she has become smart and sensible, Princess Yu feels that her heart is really rising and falling one after another, and it is very bumpy.

But there is no doubt about one thing.

My son is always his own!

...

What is Liu Mingqi doing?

He is indeed making improvements for cakes and puddings.

As we all know, the most important raw materials for Westerners to make these pastries are the first, high-quality wheat flour, the second, eggs and milk, and the third, white sugar.

As for other nuts and various auxiliary materials, they are not basic needs.

The most important ingredients, Liu Mingqi can basically find them.

There must be wheat flour, and eggs are also an important source of protein supplements for Oriental people for thousands of years. Although milk does not have cows, it has buffalo milk.

Although the output is not large, if you look carefully, you can still find a lot.

The buffalo milk tastes very good. In another world, the famous snack double-skin milk in Guangdong uses buffalo milk.

The Dakang Dynasty was basically a very commercial dynasty, and as long as you have money, you can basically get it.

Only sugar is not available yet.

When Liu Mingqi made cakes and pudding, she used brown sugar.

Brown sugar is the sugar obtained after juicing sugarcane. Because it also appears yellow, it is called yellow sugar in some places.

As early as hundreds of years ago, brown sugar was already the sugar that began to be eaten in the Central Plains.

After extensive planting, it can not only be supplied to people of the Dakang Dynasty for food, but also exported to grasslands. It is a small overseas country. It is a fist product that can be obtained anywhere.

Liu Mingqi is not a greedy person, so he didn't think about making sugar at the beginning, and he could also make cakes and pudding with brown sugar.

But after the injury on his butt healed a little, Liu Mingqi suddenly felt that his family was still a little poor.

If you take out eight thousand taels of gold, your parents will feel distressed for a while.
