Chapter 274 Making Soap.
"Brother, I found it."
"Here is a method for making soap. This soap can be used for bathing and cleaning the body."
Qi Pan moved the phone towards Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng leaned over to take a look.
"Okay, not bad."
"Now we have the recipes for making soap and soap."
Ying Zheng finished speaking without waiting for Qi Pan to take action.
I took a pen and paper and started copying the soap making recipe.
After such a long period of study, Ying Zheng has basically mastered modern simplified Chinese characters.
There is no problem with commonly used words in daily life.
He still has to look up some obscure and less used words in the dictionary.
Qi Pan held his cell phone while watching Ying Zheng copying.
.........
Early the next morning.
Qi Pan and Ying Zheng took people to make soap and perfumed soap.
First mix the lime and wood ash and soak them for a while.
Filter out the water.
Then add the prepared animal fat and heat it.
Stir slowly.
After the lime, wood ash water and grease in the pot are mixed and stirred, they slowly change from light yellow to milky white.
Looks a bit like a modern buttercream.
Ying Zheng asked as he looked at the soap being made in the pot.
"Master, is this the saponification reaction of soap that you talked about yesterday?"
Qi Pan rolled up his sleeves and spoke while stirring.
"correct."
"This saponification reaction will fully blend the oil and the water filtered out from the lime and wood ash."
"You see, when the grease was first poured in, the grease and water were separated into separate layers and were incompatible."
"However, during the saponification reaction when stirring, the oil and water are no longer separated into layers, but are fully integrated."
Yesterday, Qi Pan really couldn't think of how to explain this saponification reaction.
Now, the water and oil filtered out from the lime and wood ash are all before our eyes.
With the actual demonstration, she was able to explain it in just a few words.
Ying Zheng nodded slowly.
Qi Pan scooped out the semi-finished soap that had been mixed from the pot.
Place it in the prepared mold.
After filling them one by one, put them together.
Then Qi Pan and Ying Zheng started making the next pot of soap.
The pot of soap just now did not have any fragrance added.
It's like "original" soap.
Now she wants to make soap with added fragrance.
Also add a few different spices.
Repeat the same steps.
The only difference is that this time spices are added.
Qi Pan stirred it while gently sniffing the aroma coming from his nose.
Ying Zheng next to him was not idle either.
He followed the same steps as Qi Pan.
What he added here is another kind of spice.
Place all the mixed soap into the mold.
Qi Pan and Ying Zheng made several pots of soap with different scents in a row.
After putting them all together, he washed his hands.
Qi Pan said: "These soaps will probably need to be kept for seven days to half a month."
"We'll come back and check it out later."
Ying Zheng: "Okay."
Ying Zheng ordered the palace servants to take good care of the soaps that were still standing.
So he left with hope.
Only after Qi Pan and Ying Zheng left did the palace servants dare to discuss the matter in a low voice.
"I just heard from the Imperial Master and His Majesty that this thing... is called soap?"
“I wonder what it’s used for?”
"No matter what it is used for, what the Imperial Master and Your Majesty made must be of great use."
"During this period of time, we must be very careful and keep an eye on these soaps at all times."
"We must not let them make any mistakes."
"Yes! We must keep an eye on it!"
"By the way...those soaps smell really good."
..........
Qi Pan and Ying Zheng took Wangcai with them and put him in the palace garden, letting him have fun.
Qipan took out his mobile phone, opened the camera, and recorded a video for Wangcai.
Wangcai spread his hooves and ran around in the garden.
"Ow~"
"Ouch!"
Wangcai has grown a little bit bigger.
I have long been weaned off milk and eat raw meat.
There are some small animals such as rabbits and pheasants roaming around in the garden.
Wangcai was chasing a rabbit and then a pheasant.
It's like I'm playing a game with them.
"Ouch!"
Wangcai, who was playing with the rabbit just now, suddenly bit off the rabbit's neck.
"squeak!!"
The sharp fangs pierced the rabbit's skin and flesh.
The bright red blood dyed the rabbit's fur red.
Wangcai excitedly ran to Qipan holding the rabbit in his mouth.
Place the dead rabbit at Qipan's feet.
He looked up at Qi Pan, his eyes full of expressions that were begging for praise.
"Ow~"
The word "king" on the little tiger's head became clearer and clearer.
After Qi Pan put away his phone, he spoke to Eleven who was standing beside him.
"Take this rabbit back and roast it for dinner."
Eleven: "Okay."
Eleven strode forward and picked up the dead rabbit on the ground.
When Wangcai saw Qipan took the rabbit, he happily rushed into the garden to chase the rabbit.
...........
outside the palace.
The news that Jiang Xiang and two other merchants were named imperial merchants had spread throughout Xianyang.
And it spread wildly to the surrounding counties.
The county closest to Xianyang.
In an inn.
"Hey, do you know? Something big happened in Xianyang."
"Ah? What's the big deal?"
"Yeah, what happened? Tell us quickly."
The man spoke in a mysterious and low voice.
"You don't know yet, right? There are three merchants in Xianyang who have been named imperial merchants by His Majesty."
"what?"
"Imperial Merchant?"
"what does this mean?"
"Can a merchant also have a relationship with His Majesty?"
The man had an expression that said, "You don't understand me," and continued.
"What kind of merchant? He is now an imperial merchant, personally appointed by His Majesty."
"I heard that he donated silver to His Majesty to build the Great Wall."
"The emperor summoned them to the palace to observe the ritual. As soon as they came out, the imperial edict was immediately posted in the palace."
"A merchant named Jiang...Jiang something, and two other merchants, were all named imperial merchants."
"I will also personally present a plaque, which is already being made."
Hearing this, others found it incredible.
"What? Merchants can enter the palace to meet His Majesty?"
"That's right. Didn't people in the past always say... scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans? Didn't they say that merchants were the lowest class?"
"How come even lowly merchants can enter the palace to meet His Majesty now?"
"Hey, you didn't hear everything. People said that we donated silver to His Majesty first to build the Great Wall."
"Then I was summoned by His Majesty and entered the palace."
At this time, some people reacted to what the man had just said.
It was indeed after donating silver that I had the opportunity to enter the palace and meet His Majesty.
