"I eat fish in the morning and oily residue in the afternoon. Even the county magistrate can't eat this well!"
"Nonsense, the county magistrate has eight dishes and four soups in his meal, which is much better than what we eat!"
"Well, the county magistrate is in charge of a county; our food is not as good as that of the county magistrate, but it is certainly comparable to that of the landlords and squires!"
"Definitely, our clan leader is also a landlord, and we can't eat meat once a month. In the past, Liu Youcai's family must have been rich, and they ate meat once every ten days, which is far worse than us."
"Wang Yuan is truly a Bodhisattva with a heart!"
"What are you doing at Wang Yuan's house, letting Dahu and Erhu guard the door?"
"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Just do our job well and Wang Yuan won't treat us badly."
At night, the fishing team has dinner.
Two hundred kilograms of fried lard was used to make steamed buns, and the whole fishing team had their mouths full of oil.
Some stopped after eating two and kept the buns they were given to take home for their families.
You may not even get meat buns at home during the Chinese New Year!
Many people looked at Wang Yuan's house.
Since the fishing team came back, the gate of Wang Yuan's house has been closed tightly, leaving only Wang Qingshan, Wang Xiaoshan, and even Wang Hanshan and Wang Sihai to let out. Big Tiger and Two Tigers were guarding the door, not knowing what they were doing.
Don't talk about people outside.
Even Wang Qingshan and Wang Xiaoshan who were working were confused and frowning!
The fishing team returns.
I bought more than two hundred kilograms of lard, a load of quicklime, a basket of brine cubes, a basket of oral alkali, ten baskets of dried flower petals, and a large bag of spices.
I heard from Wang Sihai that it cost a small amount of fifty thousand yuan.
As a result, Wang Yuan asked the cook to fry the lard and use the oil residue to make steamed buns for the fishing team.
Add quicklime to water and alkaline noodles to create water that will rot the skin if it splashes on it.
Then Wang Yuan started to lose his fortune!
Pour this water into the lard and stir it with a stick in a large pot.
This kind of water will burn your skin if it touches it. Can you still eat it if mixed with lard?
Wang Qingshan, Wang Xiaoshan’s liver is so distressed that it will explode!
What a waste of a good thing!
Lard is a treasure in rural areas, and every household is reluctant to eat it!
Seeing the pots of lard being added to the water, their hearts were bleeding.
As the wooden sticks stirred, the smell of lard became lighter and weaker, and both of them burst into tears!
Can't eat it!
All this lard is ruined!
God is watching them making lard, and if it rains, thunder will strike them to death!
However, Wang Yuan gave the order, and although they felt distressed, they had no choice but to do it.
After the iron pot came to a boil, the fire was reduced to low, and the two of them kept stirring overnight.
When the chicken crows, the two add the brine from the brine cubes to the pot and continue cooking.
Soon the paste in the pot will be divided into three layers.
The two of them followed Wang Yuan's instructions, took out the upper layer of paste, mixed in the powder made from dried spice petals, and pressed it into the wooden squares.
Then add the middle layer of paste to the wick and press it into each wax mold.
Finally, put the waste liquid from the bottom of the pot into the jar.
Its daybreak
Wang Yuan pushed open the door and walked out, stretched himself and said, "Are you ready?"
Wang Qingshan sobbed: "Okay, hum!"
Wang Xiaoshan lowered his head and said nothing: "Ten pounds of lard and so many spices have been wasted!"
Looking at the two people who looked like they were about to cry, Wang Yuan said in surprise: "Uncle Qingshan, Uncle Xiaoshan, why do you look so uncomfortable? Did you catch the cold last night?"
"No!"
The two forced themselves to smile.
The things belong to Wang Yuan, they are just clerks, and they will pay back three thousand dollars a month.
Wang Yuan wants to ruin a good thing, what can they do?
“Not bad!”
Picking up a piece of soap, Wang Yuan put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, then picked up a candle and looked at it, and finally walked to the stall containing the waste liquid.
Making soap is a saponification reaction.
The most valuable thing among them is not soap or candles, but these waste liquids.
There is glycerin in the waste liquid, which can be purified to make explosives, fruit wine, glass, and leather tanning. It can be used in many ways.
But a purification device is needed!
"Husband, is this pancreas?"
Li Shihan walked out of the room and was pleasantly surprised when she smelled the soap in Wang Yuan's hand: "It smells so good!"
"What's the use of incense? You can't eat it!"
Wang Qingshan and Wang Xiaoshan lowered their heads, the guilt of ruining things lingering.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "This is soap, which is better than bath beans and soap."
Daye also has cleaning products: soap locust, bath beans, and soap.
Saponaria is used by common people for laundry.
Bath beans are made by rich people using beans, pig brains, and spices.
It is made from pig pancreas, plant ash and spices, and can only be used by high-ranking officials.
"Ah, it's true. It's cleaner than bath beans and soap, and it's even more fragrant!"
Li Shihan tried to use it and stretched out her white and tender hands to Wang Yuan's eyes.
"Your hands are already white, and there won't be much contrast after washing them!"
Wang Yuan grabbed the white and tender little hand and scratched her palm.
"There's someone there!"
After gouging out her husband, Li Shihan lowered her head and reluctantly took out her little hand.
Seeing the two people in low mood, Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Uncle Qingshan, Uncle Xiaoshan, you also use this soap to wash your hands and see how it works."
People in the village can't afford to use soap or bath beans, let alone soap and water. They usually use dry cleaning.
In addition, we work a lot on weekdays, and most of them have a layer of dust on their hands, which is so dark and scary!
The same goes for Wang Qingshan and Wang Xiaoshan.
The two of them held soap in their black hands, imitating Li Shihan's use, and rubbed it on the back of their hands.
Immediately the black ash on my hands softened, and when I rubbed it off little by little, a basin of water turned black.
"Really, it's clear!"
Wang Qingshan raised his two whitened hands and looked at them, with a look of disbelief on his face!
He couldn't figure out how things that couldn't be washed were mixed together, boiled and stirred.
How can I wash off the dirty things?
"Brother Yuan, do you want to sell these hand-washing products for money?"
Wang Xiaoshan was smarter. He looked at his washed hands and reacted quickly.
"good!"
Wang Yuan nodded: "From today on, the soap team has been established. Uncle Qingshan, you will be the captain, and Uncle Xiaoshan, you will be the deputy captain. We will recruit ten more people when we go back to separate the production process. The character requirements are reliable and the treatment is the same as that of the fishing team.
, the same amount of money is given every month, bonuses are given at the end of the month, three meals are taken care of in the big cafeteria, and there is always three ounces of meat at noon.”
"I'm the captain too!"
Wang Qingshan was ecstatic.
As a captain under Wang Yuan, he can speak more effectively in the village than the clan leader.
Captain Big Brother, Big Tiger, Vice Captain Erhu, him and Vice Captain Xiaoshan.
One discipline and five captains, the ancestors are honored!
"I'm also the vice-captain!"
Wang Xiaoshan was equally happy, and quickly frowned and said: "Brother Yuan, last night ten pounds of lard and so many spices made less than a hundred pieces of soap. The cost was almost five guan. You gave us such a prescription?"
If you pay too much, you will definitely be compensated?"
There is a bath bean seller in town, and only the landlords are willing to buy them for ten cents a bag.
A piece of soap costs fifty cents, and if you pay the workers so much, you have to sell it for at least one hundred cents to recover the cost.
Only a fool would be willing to spend a hundred pence to buy a hand-washing and bathing machine!
Wang Yuan smiled: "I will sell the soap, you just need to recruit people to do the work, and you must do a good job in keeping secrets."
The two of them nodded repeatedly: this kind of secret recipe is passed down from family to family, Wang Yuan is willing to pass it on to them, and they will work with him wholeheartedly in the future, even his eldest brother will not tell.
"Let everyone in the fishing team come and get soap. The captain and vice-captain will get two pieces, and the team members will get one piece. When they go back, they will all use soap to wash their hair, take a bath, and be a clean person!"
On his first day here, Liu Youcai came to collect debts, and Wang Yuan wanted to make soap.
But I don’t have much money, so I need to buy too many things to do the saponification reaction.
These days when I'm with the fishing team, every man doesn't take a shower or wash his hair for a long time. His whole body is smelly with sweat and lice, which makes him miserable.
Now that the soap is ready and they have the right to speak, these guys can finally take care of their personal hygiene.
It was a clear day and the Dawangzhuang fishing team had a great time together!
…
County seat, Xingsanjia.
“Mr.
If we fight with you, Sanqi, we will lose 30% less, only sixty guan of money. Mr. Xing, you are losing 140 guan of money every month!"
