Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 239 First Attempt to Make Soap

"Yes!" Xue Rengui didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui can also be regarded as a general with all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he readily accepted Yuchihuan's arrangement.

Although Xue Rengui's family is poor, he also studied in Xiucun when he was a child, so it is very easy to learn.

Liu Rengui was full of praise for Xue Rengui's learning ability.

When He saw Xue Rengui studying the art of war, she also started to clean up the rice bowls on the table.

"Little Commander Yuchi, where is the soap for washing dishes on the boat?"

The pancreas He mentioned was soap made from pig viscera added with plant ash.

Soap is mainly used for washing dishes and clothes.Ordinary people also use it for bathing!

However, the gentry of the Tang Dynasty used bath beans for bathing!
Bath beans are made of soybean powder and precious spices, and the price is comparable to silver, and ordinary people can't afford it!

"Soap?"

Yu Chihuan frowned and said, "I use bath beans for washing dishes and bathing, the soap is too dark, it doesn't look good!"

"Uh... the bath beans are used to wash the dishes?"

He felt that his three views had been shattered, even wealthy people would not dare to be so extravagant!
"That's right, in Chang'an City, only bath beans are more fragrant, and the soap is black and fishy, ​​so disgusting!"

Yuchihuan answered very naturally!But He heard it in his ears and felt that Yuchihuan was a prodigal son!
"Little Commander Yuchi, since you don't have any soap here, the woman should buy one nearby!"

He felt that it was too wasteful for bath beans to wash the dishes.

"Aunt He, you don't need to buy soap, just use bath beans to wash the dishes!"

Yuchihuan was a little bit overwhelmed, He's starting point was to save him money, but he is not short of money!
"Mother, since the little governor has said so, you can wash the dishes with bath beans!"

Xue Rengui is a young man with a strong ability to accept, so he doesn't think there is a problem with bath beans washing dishes.

"Children can be taught!" Yu Chihuan gave Xue Rengui a thumbs up, full of praise.

"Then women should use bath beans to wash the dishes!" Mrs. He finally had to compromise with Yuchihuan.

Cheng Chumo showed He Shi the way, and when he left, he didn't forget to glance at Yuchihuan.

He also thinks that Yu Chihuan washing dishes with bath beans is a prodigal act!After all, soap is also used to wash dishes in Duke Lu's mansion!

"Looks like I'm going to make soap ahead of time!"

Yu Chihuan traveled through the Tang Dynasty for so long, and it was indeed inconvenient to use bath beans every day.So, it was decided to implement it tonight.

"Lieutenant Liu, go and buy some caustic soda and lard nearby!"

Yu Chihuan acted vigorously and immediately ordered Liu Rengui to buy raw materials for making soap!

"Yes!" Liu Rengui didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took two family generals and called the local government servants to lead the way to buy caustic soda and lard.

As for the spices needed for soap, there are them on Wuyachuan!

After all, Yuchi's family is also a first-class mansion, and when Yuchi Huan went to Zhongzhou to take up his post, the eldest lady would definitely give him some spices from the Western Regions for him to use on the way!
So this time I brought a lot of spices to Zhongzhou!Including cinnamon, star anise, fragrant leaves and other precious spices!
Among them there are musk, agarwood and so on!These rare spices are also priceless in Chang'an City!
Ordinary people can't buy it!

On the other side, Mrs. He was sitting on the deck washing dishes. She wiped the fragrant bath beans and sighed!
In He's eyes, bath beans are unattainable, but in Yuchihuan, they are no different from pancreas.

Cheng Chumo temporarily took over from Liu Rengui and taught Xue Rengui some tactics.

Although he is a rough man, but he came from the general family, and under Cheng Yaojin's subtle influence, he must have learned a lot of skills in marching and fighting.

These are things that Xue Rengui has never heard of!Therefore, Xue Rengui is not ashamed to ask, and sincerely wants to learn.

It was the first time for Cheng Chumo to be a teacher of others, and he felt honored to see Xue Rengui concentrate on his studies.

……

In less than half an hour, Liu Rengui returned with a sack full of caustic soda.

I also bought a tank of lard, enough for Yuchihuan to make a thousand catties of soap.

Since this was what Yuchihuan wanted to buy, the local county magistrate gave it to Liu Rengui directly for free.

When Yu Chihuan learned that Liu Rengui hadn't paid, he immediately criticized Liu Rengui, and then handed over ten taels of silver to the yamen servant, who would return it to the county magistrate!
Yuchihuan is not short of money, the 1000 taels he blackmailed Cheng Yaojin last time in the Xuanzheng Palace are still lying in the system space!
This is not counting the hundreds of taels of gold that the lady sent over!
These gold can be exchanged for at least [-] Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Liu Rengui also kept Yu Chihuan's words in mind, and promised not to do it again.

The process of making soap is very simple. First, pour caustic soda into water and boil until it is completely melted and pour lard!
When lard encounters alkaline water, it will undergo a chemical reaction, forming an alkaline white coagulation!
These white things are the legendary soap!

Yuchihuan added some sulfur powder into the pot to make sulfur soap.

Sterilize, kill mites, can be used as medicine, kill two birds with one stone!
Since there is no quantitative container on the five-tooth boat, we can only pour the prepared soap solution into the wooden box for making tofu!
When the yellow sulfur soap is solidified, use a knife to divide the sulfur soap into several parts!

Liu Rengui came over and asked curiously, "Little Governor Yuchi, what are you doing?"

Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui, and He Shi also looked at Yuchihuan curiously.

They want to know what are these sulfur soaps like brown sugar cakes in front of them?
"Liu Rengui, this is sulfur soap. It can be used for bathing. It has the effect of killing insects. It kills two birds with one stone!"

Yuchihuan picked up a piece of solidified sulfur soap eager to try it.

"Ah... This stinky thing can actually be bathed?"

Liu Rengui's face changed drastically and he said, "Little Governor Yuchi, the general knows that this sulfur is poisonous, so you have to be careful when using it!"

"Little Governor, Lieutenant Liu is right, you must use sulfur products with caution!"

Although Cheng Chumo is a big boss, he also knows that sulfur is a poison, too much will kill people.

"It's all prejudice. Sulfur is a good thing for killing bacteria and repelling insects. The amount is not much, so don't worry!"

Seeing that they were having trouble explaining, Yuchihuan was going to wash his hands and show them!
"Well, Aunt He, help me get a basin of water!"

Some things are worth seeing once, and this is the truth!

"Yes!" Mrs. He didn't dare to neglect, and soon, a basin of crystal clear river water was brought up.

Yuchihuan squatted next to the tub, using sulfur soap to make bubbles.

In a blink of an eye, soap bubbles were everywhere on the water!
"Hey...Little Governor, this thing is similar to the foam of bath beans!"

He's eyes lit up, she never imagined that the sulfur soap made by Yuchihuan could really wash hands!
