Chapter 95: Mulberry Soap


The five hectares of land Luo Yong acquired this time are adjacent to mountains to the north, the dirt road into the city to the south, a creek to the west, and a farmland belonging to their Xipo villagers to the east.

Worth your collection. .

Since the Xu family wanted to rent land for farming, they would definitely prefer the field next to the creek in the west because it was convenient for irrigation on that side.

So they set aside a small piece of land in the southwest corner of this field, next to the dirt road into the city, and planned to build a house there.

This land was for Luo's use.

As long as he agreed to build a house, nothing else would.

What's the problem?

In rural areas these days, there is no such thing as illegal construction.

Within a few days, several more disciples came to Luo Yong and expressed that they also wanted to rent land and farm here.

They don't rent much land, usually one family only rents ten or twenty acres.

These people are not planning to make a living from farming.

In addition to farming, they also have other livelihoods, such as helping Luo Yong make peony cushions.

It's just that for people at this time, if they can store some food at home, they will feel much more at ease.

After all, many people came from the hard times and suffered from hunger, so they are more persistent in stocking food.

These later disciples all set their homesteads next to the land that the Xu family had previously decided.

Several families lived together, and they interacted with each other on weekdays.

They could also get together to chat when they had nothing to do.

Those days were passed.

It tastes more delicious.

The field they rented extended north along the ravine until it reached the foot of the mountain.

The field next to the foot of the mountain is quite fertile, with soft soil and thick piles of fallen leaves, but it is also very dangerous because it is close to the forest.

When wild beasts in the mountains cannot find food, they often come down the mountain to look for food.

"It's definitely not possible to leave it here like this.

We have to find some thorns and plant a few rows in this area."

Now that we have decided to settle here, we must consider all aspects, especially safety issues.

"The thorns won't be able to grow into a forest in two or three years.

You should be more careful now."

Adults are generally not afraid of anything, but they are afraid of what accidents may happen to children.

Those wild beasts are very cunning, and they can be easily picked.

The lower part of the mouth.

"First plant thorns, then plow the land.

Those clover seeds that Master bought should arrive in the near future."

A disciple said.

"It's just planting grass, but we also have to plow the land," someone asked in surprise.

"Yes."

Xu Erlang also spoke at this time: "I heard from Master that the method is similar to planting beans."

"But it can't grow beans, it's just grass."

Some people expressed confusion.

If planting grass is so troublesome, they might as well just plant beans.

"This clover can be cut several times a year, and if you plant it this year, you won't have to plant it again in the next few years.

It is naturally easier than beans."

Xu Dalang said.

"If the suet soap is easy to sell, the price of sheep will definitely be high in the future.

Master will introduce clover here early.

In the future, other people will realize the benefits of this product, and even selling the seeds can make a lot of money.

"Xu Erlang added.

"In that case, let's start plowing tomorrow."

After hearing the words of the two brothers, the others no longer had any objections.

These people never hesitate to help their master work.

Of course, this has something to do with Luo Yong himself being quite generous to these disciples.

Not to mention the Xu family brothers and Hengyu, even the disciples who went to Chang'an City last winter also made a lot of money.

On one side is the money and food they earn from helping people make Kang beds, and on the other side is the money they earn from selling peony cushions.

Anyway, Luo Yong collects the money at the wholesale price of 100 cents apiece, and the rest of the extra money they sell is used by themselves.

After all, the small courtyard in Chang'an City belongs to Luo Yong.

After deducting the money for those peony cushions, there is still a lot left.

Luo Yong has also replenished them recently.

For many disciples who were originally from poor families, such a large amount of money was like getting rich overnight.

After drinking water and remembering the source, they were naturally willing to contribute to Luo Yong.

In addition, they all knew very well in their hearts that if they still wanted to make money in the future, they would have to continue to work with Luo Yong.

At this time, no one wanted to get off the train, and everyone wanted to perform well in front of the master.

Many people are extremely envious of Luo Yong's disciples.

Those who learned the art of making fire pits from him in Lishi County the year before last but did not become his disciples are probably going to regret it now.

It's a pity that after that time, Luo Yong no longer had the intention to accept disciples.

Many people made insinuations, but he rejected them all.

"Sanlang, what do you think of these lambs?"

In Xipo Village, Wang Dang drove several lambs to Luo's yard at this time: "We are going out to collect lard this time.

We passed by a small village and happened to meet a group of sheep. , I bought a few small ones back.”

"Not bad, how much does it cost?"

Luo Yong happened to be planning to raise goats recently, so it was naturally appropriate to buy lambs at this time.

"Then I'll give you all the money in exchange for mugwort soap," Wang Dang said shamelessly, scratching his beard.

"Okay."

Luo Yong was happy.

Wang Dang and the others collected the lard this time and gave it to Luo Yong for processing.

When it was processed, they took half of it, and Luo Yong sold the other half to them for five cents a piece.

How much does the lamb cost?

We will calculate it when the time comes.

This is because Wang Dang has a good relationship with Luo Yong, and no one else gets this kind of treatment.

Anyone who asks him to make soap will have to keep half of it anyway, and Luo Yong will sell the rest for money.

There are many people wanting to buy his soap, and there is a long queue behind them.

Although the soap recipe is now semi-public, it is still not easy for ordinary merchants to buy soap at a relatively low price.

"This time we plan to sell these soaps in Dinghu County.

I heard that many merchants have come there recently."

Wang Dang said to Luo Yong: "Didn't you say you were going to Mengmenguan to eat mulberries earlier?

If you don't go now, , I’m afraid it’s going to be out of season.”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

Luo Yong said helplessly.

His grass seeds are almost here, and there is such a large area of ​​land there.

If he wants to raise a group of goats before winter, he can no longer wander around at this time.

"That's the case, then you can go again next year."

Wang Dang patted Luo Yong on the shoulder.

This young man was only a few years older than his son Wang Shao.

Now he is provoking the whole family.

It's strange to say that Not easy.

"If you come across dried mulberries this time, help me collect some."

Luo Yong said.

"How much do you want?"

Wang Dang asked him.

"If the price is right, you can collect ten stones for me."

Luo Yong said.

"Why do you want so many dried mulberries?"

Wang Dang was surprised at first, and then persuaded him: "The dried mulberries are not delicious, just buy a bucket and have a taste."

Sugar at this time was very expensive, so there were very few candied fruits and the like on the market.

If the mulberries were dried directly without adding sugar, the dried mulberries would be dry and hard, and basically have no taste at all.

It is really incomparable to persimmon cookies and dates.

There are many mulberry trees in Dinghu County, and these mulberries are difficult to preserve.

Unlike fruits such as pears, which can be transported to farther places for sale.

The dried mulberries are not delicious, so only pharmacies sell them sparingly.

Collect some, but not many others Buy, mulberries are abundant in various parts of the Central Plains, and merchants from other places do not need to purchase dried mulberries from them, so the price is quite low.

Generally, poor people dry some and keep them at home, and use them to satisfy their hunger during the lean season.

Luo Yongzhi thought the king was persuading him with good intentions, so he didn't hide it: "I plan to use it as soap."

Generally, in the process of making handmade soap, many people like to add some fresh vegetables and fruits in it, hoping to have a skin care effect as much as possible.

However, after these things are added, the soap will easily become rancid.

Luo Yong plans to soak dried mulberries in water this time and use them as the water phase to add soap.

The situation should be better than fresh mulberries.

His current soap making method can basically be regarded as a hot method, but it does not include the step of salting out.

As a result, the nutrition should not be as good as the cold method of fresh mulberries, but the storage time will definitely be longer.

Wang Dang didn't know how to make soap.

Hearing that Luo Yong didn't want to buy so many dried mulberries to eat, he didn't say anything more.

Dried mulberries are not expensive.

Regardless of whether this soap can be successfully made, Luo Sanlang can still afford the risk of tens of thousands of dried mulberries.

If it is done, that will be a good thing.

In Dinghu County, not all sericulture households are wealthy families with fields and mulberry trees.

Many people rent mulberry fields from others to raise sericulture.

The rent of mulberry fields is quite expensive, and the risk of sericulture is relatively high. , if the price of silk at that time was not high, or if there were some other natural disasters, you would often lose everything.

If these dried mulberries can be sold at a good price, then the mulberry farmers will be able to earn an extra income in the future.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry for my interruption yesterday.
