Chapter 109 Making Soap

After hearing the old patriarch's words, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but look at Cun Zheng and Zhan Wencheng, "If the clan comes to do this business, then the fourth brother will suffer a loss."

"I'm not in vain. My family is selling groceries now. At that time, people from other villages will come to sell wild goods and dry goods, so they will naturally buy some groceries." Zhan Wencheng smiled and said, "I made less money, but

For the long-term unity of the village, this is more appropriate.

Don’t worry about being weak but not being equal! Zhan Feiyu is a scholar, so he naturally understands this truth.

Seeing that the old patriarch and the others had already discussed, Zhan Feiyu said, "This is also feasible. Grandpa, my teacher will open a workshop in the future. Then I will try to build the workshop in the village."

"What?" The old patriarch and others were stunned. First, they were surprised that Zhan Feiyu had a teacher, and then they were excited that there would be a workshop in the village.

At that time, villagers will work in the workshop, which is much better than digging food in the field. If a diligent family will not be wasted the land and the money from the workshop will be earned, that is two pieces of money.

"It's just that I have this idea now, at least half a year later." Zhan Feiyu estimated the time. After all, she had a soap recipe, but she had not done any actual operation. She had to try it repeatedly. Besides, she didn't have any trouble opening a shop.

When time intervenes, the teacher has to send someone here.

The old patriarch was in a good mood and laughed, "There is no hurry to do the workshop. Now the weather is good, and the money earned by selling vegetables, every household can have a good New Year by the end of the year."

Thinking that the Zhan clan would become more and more prosperous, the old patriarch reminded the village and Zhan Wencheng, who were beside him: "During this period, you and Wencheng should pay more attention to the villagers. The wealth will be touching. Those who have bad intentions will never be able to do so in the future.

Let them go into the workshop.”

"Yes, you can't let a piece of mouse poop ruin a pot of soup." The clan elders nodded in agreement.

There are hundreds of people in the village, and most of the villagers are simple and kind, but there are always some cunning and vicious people.

Generally, there are secret recipes to open workshops. If the villagers have a second thought and leak the prescription for a little money, the villagers cannot continue to work in the workshops. If Xiaoyu’s teacher has an opinion on Xiaoyu, hence

That's not worth the loss.

...

Gu Qingzhou looked at Zhan Feiyu who was squatting in front of the stove in confusion, "Why are you doing with the bottom of the pot?"

"Teacher, I can't explain it clearly." Zhan Feiyu couldn't talk about the saponification reaction, he could only speak with facts.

Most of the pot of wood ash was filled with the copper basin. Zhan Feiyu poured the water from the bucket into it, just flooding the wood ash ash, and then stirred it with a bamboo pole.

No matter how unruly Gu Qingzhou is, he is still a child of a noble family. Looking at Zhan Feiyu with a little black gray on his cheeks, and looking at the ashes raised in the kitchen, he shook his head in disgust, "If it weren't for this money, you would take it.

Yes, even my teacher will suspect that you are here to cheat money.”

Zhan Fei, the sucker who made money and made money, stared at him in anger, and his hands accelerated. After a moment, he stirred the wood ash evenly.

"Teacher, do a favor." Zhan Feiyu spread the white cotton cloth and asked Gu Qingzhou to help him hold it. He picked up the gourd and poured the mixed water onto the cotton cloth one by one, and used the cotton cloth to filter it.

impurities.

Gu Qingzhou looked at the clean mixed water in the wooden basin and was a little interested, "What should we do next?"

If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, who would have thought that adding wood ash to water is also a secret recipe.

"Put the pot and cook slowly, and remove the water inside." When Zhan Feiyu opened her mouth, Gu Qingzhou poured the water from the basin directly into the pot.

Gu Yuan, who was standing beside him, twitched his lips. Looking at the master and apprentice who occupied the kitchen, he wanted to ask what to eat for lunch? Can this pot be used again?

"Gu Yuan, you are watching the fire." Gu Qingzhou greeted him. After washing his hands with Zhan Feiyu, the master and apprentice took the chair and sat down. They started class without wasting time.

"Can you agree with the way of Confucius and Mencius?" After Gu Qingzhou finished speaking, he saw Zhan Feiyu's eyes suddenly widen, his eyebrows were raised, and he looked furious.

Zhan Feiyu stared at Gu Qingzhou with grief and anger. Is this a great scholar in the world? Any scholar would not ask such a question.

"Only you and my master and apprentice are here. God knows you and I know you and I know, there is no need to do so." Gu Qingzhou laughed loudly, looking at Zhan Feiyu who dared to be angry but not speak, and continued leisurely.

: "If you are a conservative person, you will not think about studying for the imperial examination. The way of Confucius and Mencius is only used."

Gu Yuan, who was sitting in front of the stove, quietly added firewood, and was not worthy of being a person.

"Teacher, it is important to be the same as others, not the same as others. There are some words we know very well, don't say them out loud." Zhan Feiyu begged with a bitter face. There is such a teacher, Zhan Feiyu can imagine that in the future

A terrifying day.

Gu Qingzhou didn't want to scare his disciples, and said with a smile: "Sage Kong said to himself as a scholar: "Tell me but not do, believe me but like the ancients. People can learn from what they learn, believe me and get what they gain.

I think I learn from my predecessors, and I don’t seek different learning from my predecessors.”

Confucius said that he only described and explained the theories of his predecessors, and did not create at will, and believed in and loved ancient things. In fact, it was a humble attitude of Confucius to the wisdom of his ancestors.

Zhan Feiyu thought about it and said, "Therefore, the Master said: It's so bad, I'm declining, and I've never dreamed of Duke Zhou again after a long time. Then the sage's learning, the one who pursues dreaming about it day and night, is Duke Zhou."

Duke Zhou: his surname was Ji, his name was Dan, his younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, his ancestor of the king of Lu, and his ancient sage that Confucius admired the most.

Confucius said that he hadn't dreamed of Duke Zhou for a long time, but because he was old and had a feeling of being in trouble at the right time and having bad luck. But even so, his desire to revive Duke Zhou was still strong, so he was able to organize it tirelessly.

Classics, teach your disciples carefully.

"You can teach me." Gu Qingzhou looked at Zhan Feiyu with admiration. The little girl was really smart and had some flexibility!

Confucius had political ambitions, but often he was trapped by the environment and could only lie dormant. Zhan Feiyu wanted to study in the imperial examinations. Even if he did not agree with the Confucian way in his heart, he could only be harmonious and different.

"Since you are my disciple and have a teacher, you should not act sharply and extreme in the future." Gu Qingzhou solemnly warned that Zhan Feiyu seemed well-behaved, but he had a madness in his bones that would rather be broken than be broken.

Gu Qingzhou can see her actions and see a few things. On that day, Sun Fu committed suicide by committing murder, she dared to hold Sun Fu's neck with a knife and put someone in the county jail, which also caused the hatred of Tong's mansion to be fully developed, and the Confucianism.

The way is contrary to the truth. If you don’t speak carefully, you will definitely be caught in the future.

Half an hour later, after listening to Gu Qingzhou finishing his talk on "Lunyun - Xueer's Pian", Zhan Feiyu ran back to the stove, looked at half of the water in the pot, and threw the raw eggs next to him in.

"This?" Gu Yuan was stunned and saw the egg floating on the water.

"Just a little heat." Zhan Feiyu raised his lips and smiled, and hurriedly took out the eggs. The concentration of alkaline water had reached. "Teacher, I'll pour lard, you can stir."

Gu Qingzhou, who was caught, tied up his sleeves, took the bamboo pole, and waited for Zhanfeiyu to pour the warm lard on the stove into the pot, and then started to stir it, circle by circle until the liquid in the pot became thicker.

It can hardly be disturbed.

Gu Qingzhou moved his sore arms and said angrily: "I never had such a tiredness when I copied the calligraphy."

While busy pouring the thick liquid from the pot into a wooden square box, Zhan Feiyu replied without raising his head: "Teacher, there are ten yuan in total, and you will see the results tomorrow."

Gu Qingzhou looked at the milky white paste in the wooden box and asked incisively, "Do you add lard and water at will?"

"Yes." Zhan Feiyu nodded and smiled innocently, "I just remember the prescription, but I don't remember the ratio. After seeing the effect next year, I will test it a few more times at that time. I must know how much alkali water should be added.

lard."

Gu Yuan, who has always acted as a tool, couldn't help asking: "This is too simple. If someone leaks it, the prescription will not be saved."

"Larb cannot be hidden, it can only be kept confidential on the alkaline water you mentioned." Gu Qingzhou thought for a moment, looked at Zhan Feiyu with a smile, "What are you planning to do?"

"Build a plank road openly to secretly travel to Chencang." Since Zhan Feiyu planned to open a workshop, he naturally thought about it carefully.

"If you use a lot of lard and wood ash, you can make a bacon workshop." As soon as Gu Qingzhou said this, Zhan Feiyu nodded with a smile, and the master and apprentice had a tacit understanding.

To make bacon, you must buy a lot of pork. The fatty parts can be boiled into lard, which will not cause doubt. However, smoked bacon requires firewood and wood ash.

"Teacher, you can actually add strong liquor to alkaline water, which can also cover up your eyes and ears." Zhan Feiyu provided suggestions. Adding alcohol can also speed up the saponification reaction, and of course it also increases the cost. After all, high-concentration white wine is not

Cheap.

The recipe for making soap is too simple and it is also a trouble. In the end, Gu Qingzhou had to build three workshops, one of which was planned to be built in Huai County, where bamboo was produced, which was just enough to make molds and small bamboo boxes that filled with finished soap.

The second workshop is built in Wuxian on the north side of Shangsi County, where it makes bacon and lard, and then adds wood ash to water and boils it into lye.

The third workshop is in Jinlin Village. After the lard and alkali liquid are transported, it is boiled into paste, then poured into a mold, and then transported to the shop after the soap is formed.

...

Although Zhan Feiyu became a disciple, it did not announce it to the public.

She suspended going to the county school these days and came to Gu Qingzhou every day. Both the master and the apprentice knew that there was not much time. As a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, Gu Qingzhou could not stay in Shangsi County for a long time. Once he left,

Zhan Feiyu also has to go to the county school to study.

Nanxuan Mansion, Tong Mansion.

"Dad, since the court has not announced that the movable type printing technique was invented by that dead girl, it is worse than us..." Tong Zhao made a gesture of wiping his neck, but his 16-year-old young face was full of vicious murderous intent.

Among the three brothers of the Tong family, Tong Xu already has a scholarly reputation. The wife in the family is a juren, but it is enough to teach Tong Xu. Tong Zhao likes martial arts but not literary works. He acts viciously on weekdays. Tong Yao is the youngest son and is spoiled.

Growing up, I feel like a playboy.

Tongtongzhi has been in a very bad mood for several days. Although he has abandoned Sun Fu for justice, this kind of practice is also heartbreaking. He can be so cruel and ruthless towards his in-laws, not to mention their allies and subordinates.

Furthermore, Tongtongzhi preserved his official position, but the senior official from the third rank of the court was scolded by the emperor. The official was demoted to the fourth rank, and he lost his backer. Tongtongzhi had lost his respect for Nanxuan. The control of the mansion.

Sitting on the chair, Tongxu looked at Tong Zhao who was shouting and beating and killing, and scolded him irritably, "Second brother, stop talking! Whenever Zhan Feiyu is killed, Prefect Zhang can thoroughly investigate the case and finally kill our Tong Mansion. !”

"A little impatience will cause trouble for the big plan." Tong Tongzhi looked at the eldest son with satisfaction, and looked at the second son. The third son warned: "The more you are at this time, the more you cannot lose yourself. Killing Zhan Feiyu is to relieve your hatred, but you must It’s a foolish way to get on the same house.”

When Tong Yao thought that the Tong Mansion had taken over his marriage, Zhan Feiyu, a rural girl, dared to refuse! After the news spread, Tong Yao had not been to the academy for five days, which was so embarrassing.

"Dad, can we just suffer this loss?" Tong Yao shouted in anger, his fat face full of anger.

If a yellow-haired girl did not need them to take action on weekdays, and if she continued to order, someone would naturally vent their anger against Zhan Feiyu, but she would not be so frustrated like this time.

Tong Tongzhi ignored the two sons who were shouting and beating and killing, but said to Tongxu: "There is news in the capital, and the emperor sent Grand Secretary Gu of Hanlin Academy to deal with this matter."

"What?" Tongxu stood up and looked at Tong Tongzhi in shock, "Master Gu is in Nanxuan Mansion?"

There are thousands of scholars in the world, but over the years, there is only one Gu Qingzhou who won six yuan in a row. He was born in the Gu family in Nanling and has a friendship with the current emperor. What really made Tongxu care about is that Gu Qingzhou never accepted disciples. He once If you say something, if you accept a disciple, you must accept someone who is in tune with your eyes.

As soon as this was heard, many scholars wanted to meet Grand Secretary Gu by chance, and even asked about Gu Qingzhou's life preferences, especially since he had never been a child, and there was also a rumor of breaking his sleeves. A young and handsome student even put on his face. I went out after wearing a flower.

"The Qin family has sent someone to search for it secretly, but nothing has been found." Tong Tongzhi also sent people privately, but he was cautious. When this storm was at the forefront, Tong Tongzhi dared not to inquire about Gu Qingzhou's whereabouts, he only sent him People stared at the Qin family.

"Wan Yunhao also wants to become a disciple?" Tong Xu said with hatred, and was both jealous and contemptuous of Wan Yunhao.

He was jealous of his becoming famous at a young age and now he is a juren. However, he despised him for abandoning his teaching and turning to the Qin family, and married the Qin family's daughter as his wife. He had the talent for studying but no pride.

At the same time, seven or eight people sat in the Qin family's study, and Gu Qingzhou was also talking about it.

"Father-in-law, I suspect that Grand Secretary Gu is in Shangsi County." Wan Yunhao was now wearing a blue-gray color with a little lack of sleep.

After learning about Gu Qingzhou's news, Wan Yunhao was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. If he could become a disciple of Grand Secretary Gu, from then on, Qingyun would rise straight ahead, what would the Qin family be like?

The head of the Qin family, who was sitting in the main seat, was very satisfied with Wan Yunhao's son-in-law and said, "Let's talk about it."

"First of all, the movable type printing technique was mentioned by Zhan Feiyu, and the Grand Secretary would definitely go to see Zhan Feiyu for reason; secondly, the eldest son and the eldest son used a jade pendant to force Zhan Feiyu, but she easily took it out I suspect the silver bill of 4,000 taels was obtained by Grand Secretary Gu.” Wan Yunhao only regretted that he did not pay attention to Zhan Feiyu’s whereabouts when he was in Shangsi County that day. Maybe he had seen Grand Secretary Gu a long time ago.
