Let’s get back to the subject, since elementary school students can do soap, it is not difficult and certainly not dangerous. Of course, any chemical experiment is more or less dangerous, but since elementary school students can do it, it is obvious that the danger is
Sex must be completely controllable.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic also knows that this relatively primitive caustic soda manufacturing method must have various shortcomings such as low efficiency and limited purity, but if it is just to cope with the current soap production, it will not be a problem.
However, an unexpected situation occurred, because Gao Xiaozhuang asked: "Master, where should I buy these things?"
Gao pragmatism is the eldest son of his father Gao Cai, and Gao Xiaozhuang is the son of Gao Cai, the "Sixth Household of the Gao Family in Xinzheng". Therefore, calling Gao pragmatism the eldest young master actually refers to the "eldest young master of the Sixth Household", rather than referring to the entire family in general.
Gao family. After all, Gao Chou himself is the sixth among the brothers. In fact, as of this year, Gao Chou alone has a total of six children, including four sons and two daughters.
The three brothers below the eldest brother are Gao Wuguan, Gao Wuqin, and Gao Wujian, and the two daughters are Gao Yunting and Gao Yunting. [Note: Historical facts only record a few brothers. It is probably due to the patriarchal mentality, so the two daughters here are
Fabricated.] Judging from Gao Cai’s age, Gao Pragmatic may have a younger brother or younger sister in the future...
Young Master Gao had never thought about "where to buy it" at first. He was stunned for a moment and said with a little hesitation: "You can probably ask the price of alkali for baking dough at a rice noodle shop. As for caustic soda (that is, the price of caustic soda at this time)
Commonly known as)..." Gao Pragmatic suddenly became speechless. As long as there is soda ash, it is not difficult to make caustic soda. But I really don't know if the Ming Dynasty actually had it, and even if it did, it might not be big enough.
Bought in bulk, after all, people these days probably don’t have much demand for caustic soda, which is no better than soda ash, which can be used for daily needs such as dough making.
"Forget it about caustic soda first, go and ask about the price of refined alkali." Gao pragmatically thought about it and added: "Then go to those shops that sell building materials and ask about the price of pebble ash. As for those pigs
You don’t need to mention oil, butter, etc., right?”
"No, no, no, young master, you can definitely ask for these oils from the butchers. However, those things like ambergris, civet incense and sandalwood oil you mentioned..." Gao Xiaozhuang's voice began to weaken again. p>
Gao Pragmatic waved his hand like a young man and said: "Go to the drugstore and ask."
"Okay!" Gao Xiaozhuang patted his chest: "Don't worry, young master, I'll take care of the younger one."
Gao Pragmatic warned: "You must remember the prices of these things clearly, it is of great importance!"
"I dare not say anything else, but my memory is pretty good. Young Master, you also know that."
Gao pragmatic nodded with satisfaction. Speaking of which, Gao Xiaozhuang was chosen as his book boy. In addition to the fact that children born in the family are naturally more loyal to the master's family, the key to it is that he himself is smarter. In fact, like the Gao family,
Houses of officials with long history of family education have their own set of standards for how to select suitable servants. For such an important candidate as the eldest son of each house, it is no exaggeration to say that the selection process is very serious.
The level is probably much more stringent than the official inspection of a county magistrate. Age, image quality, physical strength, loyalty, and even personality traits, etc., are all areas that need to be inspected and screened.
Gao Xiaozhuang only asked for the price when he went out this time, and Gao Pragmatic did not pay him any money in advance. After Gao Xiaozhuang left the Gao Mansion, he called over the two little girls Shang Yue and Ting Qin and asked them to prepare other things that were needed.
Tools.
Although making soap is not difficult, Gao is pragmatic and has inherited some habits from his previous life as a secretary. He still has to prepare everything he may need in advance and arrange trial production first.
For example, although the tools for mixing can be chopsticks or even wooden sticks, Gao Pragmatic still asked the two little girls to find a jewelry store and specially customized several simple egg beaters that were more common in the previous life. At the same time, he personally supervised the work.
I hired a carpenter to make several wooden molds for shaping the soap, etc.
Although these things theoretically do not affect the success of soap production, they can make the first trial production of soap have better quality and a more beautiful appearance, so Gao Pragmatic still made preparations in advance - after all
It is necessary to open up the high-end market first. In addition to obvious functions, the most indispensable thing is strong style.
Not long after, two little lolita walked in holding several large and small boxes. The twins were also dressed in light green, and they looked exactly the same at first glance, but Gao Pragmatic had been served by the two of them since he was a child.
There is still a way to tell the sisters apart. In terms of appearance, there is a mole on the left side of the sister's temple. Although it is very small, probably less than half a mung bean, it is enough for Gao Pragmatic to distinguish the two of them.
Distinguish.
As for other differences, it is probably that the elder sister is slightly braver than the younger sister - although they are twins, maybe their parents instilled in them the idea that the elder sister should take care of the younger sister when they were young, so the elder sister will play the role of protector most of the time while watching the moon.
My sister, Tingqin, is mostly in a protected position.
Even when talking to Gao Pragmatic, he usually talks more about Shang Yue. Like now, Shang Yue replies first: "Young Master, this 'mixer' you made is really a good thing. Use it when beating eggs."
It’s really convenient. But why do you still need to use this soap for the soap you mentioned?"
Seeing them putting things on the table, Gao pragmatic walked over and opened the box. While inspecting it, he replied: "It's a long story. Well, I can pull the wire fairly well, but this simple wire is too easy."
Rust, this is very bad..."
Tingqin rarely interjected: "I heard that silver will not rust. If the young master wants to avoid rust, you can try making one with silver."
Gao Pragmatic smiled: "Silver generally does not rust easily, but it is not suitable to make this thing out of silver." He thought to himself: When the scale of my soap industry expands in the future, how much silver will I need to make an egg beater?
And if it is made of silver, if the management is not strict enough and someone takes it away, wouldn’t it be a loss? Besides, it’s not that there is no solution, it’s just to use stainless steel.
Of course, stainless steel is easy to say, but not necessarily easy to do. Although the stainless steel used as an egg beater can be easily produced as long as there is chromium, but in this era, it is necessary to remove it as soon as you think about it.
Looking for chrome ore... This seems a bit too ambitious.
What should we do? Once large-scale production starts in the future, if the egg beater keeps getting rusty, the size will also be a problem.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but fall into thinking.
