Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Chapter 32 Soap and Glycerin

Ever since Nanny Liu returned to the Wang family.

Li Jinglan assigned tasks to Lu Sheng and Zhao Zhengyi's families.

The two families each picked a son to guard the gate.

The daughters-in-law went to the sewing room.

The daughters and granddaughters first did some rough chores in the yard.

From now on, whoever performs well will be kept by my side as a maid.

After returning home.

Li Jinglan called Lu Sheng over and handed him a prescription.

Lu Sheng picked up the prescription, took a look at it, and was shocked.

He quickly put the recipe on the table and said, "Madam, I dare not look at it."

"I'm letting you watch, so just watch." Li Jinglan motioned Lu Sheng to continue watching.

Only then did Lu Sheng suppress his fear and pick up the prescription.

Li Jinglan said slowly: "These few days, you make something in the side yard."

"Yes, I will never leave the side yard, nor will I tell anyone the contents of the prescription." Lu Sheng fell to his knees with a thud.

Li Jinglan gave Lu Sheng another five taels of silver before letting him go.

Soap is a very profitable business.

The production method is also relatively simple.

Adding some essential oils or flower petals during the production process can increase the fragrance.

Glycerin can also be extracted during the soap-making process.

The remaining residue can be used as fertilizer.

It can be said.

Soap can be utilized from raw materials to finished products and even to residues.

The best kind of fat is lard.

Inexpensive rapeseed oil can also be used to make soap.

Seeing that Lu Sheng got the job.

Zhao Zhengyi's family was extremely anxious.

She went back and talked to her husband: "It seems that Lu Sheng is about to gain the trust of the lady."

Zhao Zhengyi sighed: "Who made Lu Sheng know more words than me?"

"But our family is not bad either." Zhao Zhengyi's family counted on their fingers, "You can drive a cart, and you also know how to farm."

At this point, Zhao Zhengyi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Madam has been worrying about how to pay four years of taxes. Why don't you take on this job?"

"Paying taxes is a very lucrative business. Will you give it to me, madam?" Zhao Zhengyi just shook his head.

Seeing her husband's stubbornness, Zhao Zhengyi spat at him and said, "How do you know if you don't ask?"

Although they came to Li Jinglan at the same time.

But the Zhao family and the Lu family are also in competition.

Now the housekeepers, both inside and outside the family, have not been employed.

Maybe if you do well you can get the job of chief steward.

Li Jinglan has a good relationship with the teacher's wife.

Lu Bozhou was also highly regarded by Teacher Wang.

In the eyes of Mrs. Zhao Zhengyi, it is only a matter of time before the Lu family becomes rich.

If I don’t try my best to please Li Jinglan now, will I have to wait until later to please the steward?

After being scolded by his wife, Zhao Zhengyi went to ask for a job.

"Do you know how to pay taxes and settle accounts?" Li Jinglan became interested.

"When I was in the village, if there were officials coming to collect taxes, I would help out a bit and I could barely understand what they were doing." Zhao Zhengyi didn't say too much.

Li Jinglan frowned and thought, then came up with an idea: "Well, go to the household department of the county government and ask how much compensation we should get in the next four years and how to get it."

Zhao Zhengyi bowed happily and said, "I'll go right away."

Seeing Zhao Zhengyi go out.

Li Jinglan nodded slightly.

This is competition!

She just didn't believe that the people in Xishui Village would not be tempted by the position of chief steward.

What Li Jinglan wants is checks and balances.

We cannot allow one company to dominate the market.

If the servants are too powerful, they are likely to turn against their masters.

a few days later.

Lu Sheng refined the soap, but due to time constraints, he did not add any fragrance.

Li Jinglan went to Teacher Wang's house.

He washed his hands with soap in front of Liu.

Liu was puzzled.

But after Li Jinglan washed her hands, Liu's eyes suddenly widened.

"How did you get it so clean? This is much cleaner than bath beans. What is this?"

Ancient people also had their own cleaning tools: bath beans and soap nuts.

But neither of these two things can wash as cleanly as the soap that Li Jinglan took out.

"I just made this thing, and I haven't given it a name yet. It can not only wash hands, but also clothes."

"It was made in a hurry, and it smells better with the fragrance."

Li Jinglan said this and took out another small bottle.

The small bottle contains glycerin.

He rubbed some glycerin on the back of Liu's hand and moistened it with his hand.

The areas that have been rubbed with glycerin are obviously much moister than other skin.

Liu is forty years old and already has white hair.

I am in distress of getting old.

It’s not like she hasn’t used balms before, but none of them were as good as the one Li Jinglan used.

"Did you do this too?" Looking at the back of her hand, Liu was shocked.

Looking at Liu's expression, Li Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled:

"I got a good recipe from the sea by chance. Auntie, you know that my family has a large population. Every day when I open my eyes, so many people open their mouths to eat. I have to increase my income."

"So I wanted to share this recipe so that we can make money together."

"Make money together?" Liu's breathing quickened.

The soap and glycerin are right in front of you, and you can make money immediately just by looking at them.

The impact was too great.

If she had previously treated Li Jinglan only out of affection for a younger generation.

When Li Jinglan suggested that the two families make money together, Li Jinglan's status in Liu's heart rose sharply.

"Since you have the recipe, can't you start your own business?"

Liu finally managed to move her eyes away from the jar.

"Without aunt, how could we be here today? Maybe my niece-in-law is still imprisoned in the inner house by Lu Zhang, crying out to heaven and earth for help but no one can help her."

"Our Lu Sheng knows how to refine it. If you have any questions, you can always ask him."

Liu was stunned.

My fingers are trembling.

She couldn't even hear clearly what Li Jinglan said.

When Teacher Wang came back from the school office.

Liu told the story about soap and glycerin.

Teacher Wang was also shocked: "Is there really such a method?"

Liu took out the soap and helped Teacher Wang wash his hands.

After washing his hands, he wiped Teacher Wang's hands with glycerin.

Teacher Wang looked at his hands and was slightly surprised.

Seeing her husband's surprised expression, Liu smiled and told him her plan.

"Jinglan told me that this business requires little capital but has huge profits. The same thing can be used to make both facial oil and hand soap."

"I secretly think that this business is too big, and it's easy for us two families to attract coveted attention."

"I want to give Madam Xu 30% of the profits, and Li and I will each take 20%. 20% will go to the county government, and 10% will go to the school office."

The Madam Xu that Liu was referring to was the county magistrate's wife.

Nanli County was a county attached to the capital, and the county magistrate was a nobleman.

The county magistrate's wife was the daughter of Earl Fenyong.

The county magistrate was the youngest son of Duke Xu’s eldest brother, named Xu Dongqi.

The ancestors of the Xu family were founding ministers and were highly trusted by the royal family.

Teacher Wang’s thoughts wandered for a moment.

He has used both of these things and they are good.

Don't talk about other people.

Liu also said that these two things were made from the same thing.

The cost is very low.

I don't think the price will be high.

It is affordable for everyone.
