Jia Cong moved all the things he got back from the kitchen to the small room next to him, gave Wangcai a holiday, and asked Yue Ya to guard outside to prevent others from coming in. Then he closed the door alone and started tinkering inside.
He had to be careful. Jia Cong himself could not guarantee whether Yue Ya and Wang Cai were 100% loyal to him. After all, my status is too low and there is no future for me. If there is a chance to make a lot of money, no one will be tempted, and it is easy to be bribed.
The main reason is that the process of making soap is relatively simple. Anyone can make it as long as they know the recipe. The emergence of soap in history is also a coincidence.
Legend has it that a blacksmith apprentice accidentally put grease into a fire that had just been extinguished while working. The grease was flammable. The apprentice was afraid of causing a fire, so he quickly took the grease out together with the plant ashes.
The grease stuck to the hands and was difficult to clean with clean water. As a result, when the apprentice was washing his hands, he found that a lot of white foam appeared on his hands, and all the grease on his hands was washed away.
Then, it was discovered that the hard lumps formed by the condensation of grease and plant ash had particularly strong decontamination capabilities, and soap appeared.
Jia Cong didn't want to be taken advantage of by others as soon as he got it out.
As the saying goes, if things are not kept secret, there will be harm, so be careful and you will never make a big mistake.
Jia Cong marked the ten bowls and placed them on the ground one by one. He took out a spoon and scooped out a spoonful of flour base and placed it in bowl No. 1. Then he scooped up two spoons of vegetable oil and poured it into bowl No. 1. Then start stirring evenly and wait for saponification.
Then put the remaining nine bowls into the ingredients according to different proportions, stir evenly, and then wait for saponification. When the liquid solidifies into a block, the soap is ready.
Although Jia Cong knew how to make soap and its materials, he did not know the correct ratio of materials. He could only use this stupid method, changing the ratio of materials again and again, and experimenting again and again until he selected the most suitable ratio of materials.
In the past few days that Jia Cong has been here, he has also discovered that there is already soap in the world of Red Mansions, and there is also scented soap, but it is made of saponins, soap beans, and some other substances.
The craftsmanship and workmanship are very average, and the soaps are also unsatisfactory, incomparable to the soaps I have used before. The soaps made with my own formula should be much better than what everyone is currently using.
As for better soaps and scented soaps, you have to rely on your own research and improvement in the future. Now the first step is to find a suitable formula.
After preparing all the ten ingredients and waiting for them to be saponified, Jia Cong walked out of the room, closing the door behind him and waiting to see it again tomorrow morning.
"Third Young Master, what are you doing mysteriously in the house?"
Yue Ya saw Jia Cong coming out of the house and ran over and asked curiously.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "You'll know the secret tomorrow, but you can't tell anyone about it. Only the two of us know it. Can you do it, Yue Ya?"
Yue Ya nodded solemnly and said: "Third Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone."
The little girl was so curious that she almost turned back three times every step and followed Jia Cong back to the main room. She probably wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
It was not only the little girl Yue Ya who couldn't sleep, but there was also a person who couldn't sleep because her heart was burning. This person was Mrs. Xing.
At this time, Mrs. Xing was also walking around the room, but she couldn't calm down. Thinking of what Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu said in the afternoon, she couldn't wait to know the result.
"Madam, I'm back."
Mrs.
It turned out that Mrs. Xing could not go there herself, so she sent the maid to the old lady to inquire about the news. After the maid got the news, she ran back to report.
"Madam, I heard that Mr. Bao broke the jade again, but he was told off by Miss Lin. Later, the old lady asked Miss Lin to live in the Bisha Cupboard. Mr. Bao wanted to live outside the Bisha Cupboard, but Miss Lin gave it to him. He pushed back, but the old lady didn't speak for him. This time Miss Lin is in the limelight, and many people are praising Miss Lin."
Mrs. Xing asked some more details, and the maid told them truthfully. Mrs. Xing knew the whole process, and it was almost the same as what Jia Cong said.
Mrs.
If this kid really has such scheming intentions, he will definitely not be a fuel-efficient lamp. He may become more popular in the future. It seems that we should pay more attention to him in the future.
If you really have a future, you can win over him in advance, improve his status, and maybe you can form a good relationship.
Why! Who wants to have no children?
Early the next morning, after Jia Cong got up, he went to the yard and began to exercise. He first did a set of shoulder presses, and then did forward leg presses, side leg presses, back leg presses, step leg presses, and other leg movements. .
Then they continued to do waist movements such as forward bending, swinging the waist, rinsing the waist, lowering the waist, etc., and also did a set of some basic leg skills, including leg flicking, kicking, kicking, and leg sweeping.
Finally, I practiced Tai Chi twice and practiced some grappling and fighting moves dozens of times.
After finishing this set of actions, half an hour has passed.
These things were almost public knowledge in my previous life. In my previous life, the Internet information was developed, and there were all kinds of boxing techniques, kicking techniques, and equipment.
At that time, I could be considered a martial arts enthusiast. I collected and saved a lot of information in this area, but I read a lot but practiced little. I never had a master or practiced systematically. I just regarded it as a physical exercise.
These are some fighting moves. Once mastered, they are useful for self-defense and fighting. If practiced for a long time, they can also slightly enhance their physical fitness.
However, no one would tell anyone about the core skills that really strengthen the body. I currently lack the method to strengthen the body.
The Jia family can be regarded as a family of military generals. His grandfather Jia Daishan, Duke of Rong, was a military general. Both generations of Dukes were born as military generals. Maybe the family also has this skill.
It seems that I have to go to Jia She and ask him to help find a martial arts master for me. By the way, I want to ask if the Jia family has any body-building exercises.
After finishing everything, Yue Ya fetched water and served Jia Cong to wash up. The two of them had breakfast together. Seeing the way the little girl hesitated to speak, he knew that she was still thinking about the secrets in the hut.
This girl is too curious, which is really not a good thing. It seems that she will have to go behind her back for some things in the future, otherwise one day she will be bald and sell herself out.
Since I promised her last night, let's take her to see it.
"Come on Yue Ya, I will take you to see what happened yesterday, but I remind you again, don't tell anyone."
Yue Ya nodded quickly and promised: "Third Young Master, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Jia Cong brought Yue Ya to the hut and saw a lump of something in the ten bowls on the ground, some milky white and some transparent.
"Third Young Master, is this what you made? What on earth is this?"
Crescent Moon squatted on the ground and poked it with her finger, "Ah! This one is so soft and a bit sticky."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Do you believe me when I say this is the soap we use to wash our hands, face, and clothes?"
"Ah, is this really soap? Why is it different from what we use?" Yue Ya asked in surprise.
Jia Cong ignored the little girl's doubts, compared them one by one, selected the two best soaps, and said to the little girl: "Yueya, are there any dirty clothes? Try washing them with these soaps and see what happens. One works best.”
"Third Young Master, just wait, I'll go look for you right now."
After saying that, Yue Ya got up and ran out. After a while, she came back with a basin with two or three pieces of clothes in it.
"Third Young Master, these are the few dirty items, are they enough?"
"That's enough. Just find a few dirty parts and try washing them. The main thing is to see which soap works better. We'll pick the one with the best effect."
"I understand, Third Young Master, I will try them one by one."
The master and servant worked hard for a while before choosing the one with the best effect. Jia Cong took note of the material proportions of this soap and planned to find a house outside to make it in the future.
The little girl will not be involved in future matters. Knowing too much is not a good thing for her. Any master in the house is an existence that she cannot refuse. It is too easy to punish her.
After tidying up the things in the hut and giving some instructions to the little girl, when she saw Wangcai coming, she took him to the clan school.
