The author has something to say: There was a bug earlier.
Hot-made traditional soap does not need to be matured for that long.
I changed it.
Cold-made soap only needs to be matured for a long time.
This chapter mentions it.
As soon as the power of this stinky soap was revealed, Ma Silang and others couldn't sit still.
They even said that they would go to Luo's yard to see the stinky soap in Luo Yong's house.
"Sanlang, what is this and how much does it cost?"
Nama Shiro asked.
"The name of this thing is stinky soap, and the price is five cents."
Luo Yong replied.
"Stinky soap" surprised several people present.
This name has a slightly derogatory meaning.
Although there was a stinky tofu before, the stinky tofu smelled stinky.
Calling it stinky tofu is worthy of its name.
This soap is not smelly.
Why does it smell like this?
A name.
"Yes, stinky soap."
In Luo Yong's memory, this thing was called stinky soap.
He didn't bother to give it another name, so he just called it that.
"It's a pity that there isn't much inventory."
The price of five cents for a piece of soap is more acceptable to both the Ma family and the foreign merchants.
This thing is very practical, whether it is used for bathing or laundry.
At this price, the average small-rich person can It is also affordable for household use.
"Can Sanlang be able to make more in the near future?"
the foreign merchant asked.
The Ma family is a local merchant in Lishi County and can afford to wait.
No matter when Luo Yong makes soap in the future, their family will be indispensable.
Foreign merchants like them can't afford to delay.
They can't wait here for several months for a batch of soap.
They have other livelihoods at home.
"To tell you the truth, I used to collect waste oil and miscellaneous oil to make this stinky soap, so the price can be as low as five cents a piece.
If you are in a hurry, you can collect some good oil and make it.
It’s just that the price is probably higher,” Luo Yong said.
"It doesn't matter if the price is slightly higher."
The other party said immediately.
This Luo Sanlang is an honest man, and he doesn't price things here randomly.
Even if he uses good oil to make this soap, how high can the price be?
It can be as high as ten or twenty cents.
"In this case, I will start collecting oil in the next few days."
Luo Yong agreed.
Originally, in this situation of material scarcity, many people could not afford lard at all, and Luo Yong was also reluctant to use good lard to make soap.
It's just that he is indeed short of money at this time, and there are still batches of Du seedlings that have not arrived.
When all these Du seedlings are planted this year, he still doesn't know how much foreign debt he will owe this year.

Now that he had decided to make soap, Luo Yong mentioned the price of pork in recent days on the wall outside his yard.
Then he said hello to the young people in the village who often go out to sell tofu, and asked them to remember to talk to the people there about this if they go to Xiaohe Village.
Whoever has unslaughtered pigs at home, if they feel that these two If the price is right, let’s buy it.
Since he wanted to use good oil to make soap, Luo Yong no longer planned to make stinky soap.
In addition to the traditional hot method of making lard soap, there was also a cold method that emerged later.
When the soap is made by the cold process, the saponification reaction is incomplete and the pH is not easy to control.
For safety reasons, after it is made, it usually needs to be left for a long time to fully mature before it can be used.
Like those stinky soaps from the Luo family, just a few days after they were made, Luo Yong dared to cut them out and try them out.
Changing to cold process soap would definitely not work.
One month is at least a month, and three months is conservative.
Half a year is not too long.
Hot process soap is saponified during the making process, while cold process soap is left there to slowly saponify after it is made.
This is the essential difference between them.
In Luo Yong's view, the biggest advantage of cold process soap is that it looks good.
Unlike stinky soap that looks like a candy cake, cold process lard soap is a better-looking cream color, and it is said that it is also unique in skin care. effect.
Now the reason why Luo Yong decided to make cold process soap was mainly because of his appearance.
In order to make this cold process soap, Luo Yong asked Heng Yu to help him make a mixing bucket, and then went to Xue Ji Cloth Factory to buy dyes of various colors.
From the live pigs that were slaughtered on the same day, the fat and suet were used to boil the lard, so that the lard was very fresh and had no peculiar smell.
Then wait until it cools to a certain level, then add the caustic soda water prepared in proportion to the mixture, put it in a mixing barrel, and several people take turns to stir.
It is relatively labor-saving to use this wooden barrel.
In order to speed up the reaction, they often put the barrel on the kang head to heat it.
I heard that in the process of making handmade cold process soap, there is generally no heating, mainly to avoid destroying the nutrients in the natural vegetable oil.
However, the Luo family uses refined lard, so it seems that nothing can be destroyed.
When the lard in the bucket gradually begins to become thicker, which is the legendary t, add some dye and stir evenly, and then the mold can be installed.
These molds were ordered by Luo Yong from the Yin-style wheel shop.
Hearing that there were young people in the Yin family who were good at carving, Luo Yong went to ask about them.
In the end, in just half a day, the other party made three-plate molds for him, each plate There are nine grooves, which can make nine pieces of soap.
These molds are all engraved with patterns such as orchids, plum blossoms, and peonies.
They are all patterns that they have made regularly.
Luo Yong also customized some patterns with text.
In terms of text, he wrote some fashionable verses and classic verses from the Book of Songs, but they had not arrived yet.
This large vat of lard produced more than twenty-seven pieces of soap.
After filling the molds, Luo Yong poured the remaining soap solution into several rectangular wooden troughs.
After they are removed from the mold, he can cut the soaps into small pieces with a knife and sell them, and he can also carve some simple patterns on them.
Or you can sell it as a piece and let the person who bought the soap take it back and carve it yourself.
Naturally, you can do whatever you want.
The literati at this time were versatile and many could carve by hand.
Before making this batch of soap, Luo Yong did a lot of calculation work and had previous experience in making stinky soap.
Except that the stirring time took a little longer than expected, the rest was generally smooth.
In the next few days, Luo Yong successively made the second and third batches of soap.
The previously made soap was successfully demolded, and new soap liquid was quickly poured into the mold.
The previously customized batch of molds soon arrived, and the soaps produced later came in more styles.
Soon, there were many pink, light green, light blue, and beige soaps on the shelves of Luo's grocery store.
Although it is said to be soap, it actually does not have much fragrance.
It is too troublesome to extract the fragrance.

There are no ready-made perfume essential oils in the world.
Luo Yong made a mental calculation and bought a few sachets tomorrow.
Come back and put it in a jar with these soaps for a while.
I don’t know if it will have any effect.
Recently, many people have come to the Luo Family Grocery Store to check out the freshness.
Sure enough, the dyed soap is more attractive than the stinky soap.
Some people say that when they marry their daughter tomorrow, they have to get it from Luo Sanlang.
Buy some soap here to make her trousseau.
Anyone who can say this can be considered a very generous person.
In these days, most people use plant ash to take a bath.
I heard that even the upper class people used something called a bath bean to take a bath.
Luo Yong asked people about it.
The main raw material of this bath bean is bean flour, which has average decontamination ability.
People often add many skin care and beauty ingredients to bath beans, as well as many spices.
If used every day, it will be very fragrant.
Clean.
People with poor economic conditions, if they are more particular, have honey locusts.
They cannot be used directly for bathing.
They must first soak and boil the dried honey locusts in water.
Generally, they have to boil them for at least a day and a night before they can get the better results.
Thick soup.
In Xipo Village, it is quite common to use plant ash to bathe.
This is how Luo Yong used it for more than a year.
He first wiped the plant ash on his body, turning himself into a clay figure, and then took clean water.
It was all done in a hurry.
For a fancy girl like Er Niang, Luo Yong asked her to wash her with bean flour, but she wouldn't.
When she had time, she boiled some soap locust water, and when she didn't have time, it was easier to use plant ash.
Sometimes there is rice water at home, and Erniang also uses rice water to wash her hair and face.
This is already considered a luxury product.
Corn is a fine grain, and most people don't have it every day.
As for Luo Yong himself, he basically uses plant ash to wash his hair and bathe.
He washes frequently, and even if Er Niang wants to boil soap locust water for him, she can't make it in time.
Plant ash is also a good thing in this era.
It can be used for bathing, washing clothes, and fertilizing fields.
Most people don't waste it carelessly.
I heard from some merchants traveling to and from Lishi County that there is a kind of soap tree growing in some places in the south.
The soap locust growing on the tree is large and fat.
It is more useful than the local soap locust in Hedong Road, but it is I've only heard the name, but never seen the real thing.
In this environment, Luo Yong's soap came out.
Needless to say, it is convenient for cleaning.
Its appearance alone is far superior to those of other cleaning products.
On this day, Luo Yong thought that he could no longer put off the matter of the sachet, so he handed over the work of collecting and processing the meat that day to his two mothers, and he drove the donkey cart into the city.
The price of this sachet is not low, and the quantity he wants is a bit large.
It is not easy to leave it to others.
It is better to go and take a look yourself and choose something suitable.

As the weather gets warmer day by day, Lishi County is also becoming more lively.
When Luo Yong entered the city, the city gate was already a bit bustling with cars coming in and out.
After entering the city, I saw a few more stalls collecting bamboo chains on the roadside.
I heard from people that the price of bamboo chains has risen to more than 30 yuan in the past few days.
They don't have a specialized incense shop in Lishi County.
If they want to buy sachets, most of them go to Ma's and Wang's trading houses.
Among them, Ma's mainly operates the market in Chang'an City, and in the spice area, The stockings are more sufficient than that of the Wang family.
After all, the spice market in Chang'an City is still more developed than that in the Jiangnan area.
It is said to be sufficient, but in fact there are only a few items, most of which are prepared sachets.
There are too few people here who know how to make fragrances.
This stuff is a high-end consumer product.
It is considered good that they can buy it in a small place like Lishi County. .
"Sanlang wants to make incense."
Ma Silang heard that Luo Yongliang was here, so he came out to receive him personally.
"I don't know how."
Luo Yong said with a smile: "I just plan to buy some spices to make soap.
I don't know what kind of fragrance ladies like."
"I heard that this kind of sachet is popular in Chang'an City recently."
Ma Silang handed a sachet to Luo Yong.
Luo Yong took it and smelled it, shook his head and said: "This smell is too weak, is there something stronger and more fragrant?"
"There is another one, usually used by older women."
Masiro said and handed him another one.
Luo Yong took it and smelled it, but he was still not satisfied.
The scent of these sachets is relatively natural and refreshing, which is good for wearing.
If you want to use it to make soap, it is a bit too light.
Faced with such a problem, Luo Yong suddenly missed the artificial flavors of the 21st century.
They were so convenient and cheap.
If he had known about this day, he should have installed dozens of them in the space.
Hundreds of kilograms.
There are some natural spices with strong fragrance in this era, but it goes without saying that the price must be very expensive.
Many of them are imported from abroad and are not produced in China.
Moreover, they do not have them in Lishi County, so they have to buy them from Chang'an City.
Luo Yong just made some soap.
Naturally, he couldn't spend such a waste of money.
If it's not fragrant enough, it's not fragrant enough.
In the end, he comprehensively considered the two factors of fragrance and price, selected a more satisfactory fragrance type, and bought it.
Got some sachets.
Carrying a sachet, he returned to the street and looked at the loess streets and low-rise houses in front of him.
In this era, he felt desolate more than once.
There is nothing here, no fragrance, no pigment, no chemical additives.
He still misses those things now.
He really feels more and more alive. gd1806102:
