Chapter 52: Making soap

As a poor and hungry low-level citizen, when he saw silver, Lao Fang couldn’t help but want to convert it into food.

This has become his instinctive reaction.

But this time, seeing fist-sized silver ingots on the ground, Lao Fang felt that his brain was not enough.

How much grain can be bought with these silvers is obviously beyond the scope of the Lao Fang, whose IQ is limited to addition and subtraction within ten.

“Auntie, you, what did you do last night?”

forcibly forcing his gaze away from the attractive silver ingots, Lao Fang swallowed hard, and looked at Li Yi and asked.

Li Yi glared at the handy little maid, leaned over and picked up the silver ingots on the ground, putting them in the bag, then raised his head and said: “I picked it up on the road when I got lost last night.” /

“Pick up, pick up…” The old Fang’s voice trembled a little.

This is almost a hundred taels of silver. He couldn’t make so much money in his life, so he was picked up by his uncle so casually?

Even if his daily net profit from selling candied haws is 100 wen these few days, he can divide it by half, and save so much money without eating or drinking, I am afraid it will take several years!

As for the little maid, little stars flashed in her beautiful big eyes.

Uncle 　　’s luck has always been very good. Every time I go out, I can always find something. Although I haven’t picked up a pheasant for a long time, but this time I picked up so much money, even God So helping Auntie!

The girl’s mood experienced great ups and downs overnight. At this time, her heart was full of joy. She secretly looked at Li Yi and was reluctant to move away.

Watching Li Yi and the others walk into the yard, Wu stood there blankly, her whole being struck by lightning, until now, she still couldn’t believe what she saw in her eyes.

That’s white silver!

She is afraid that she will not see so much silver in her next life.

For those poor people who are still living to fill their stomachs, all the expenses for a year add up to about one or two silvers. Those silvers are enough for them to spend a lifetime…

I don’t know how long it took before Wu Clan recovered from the trance, picked up the copper basin from the ground, and did not know what the expression was on his face, and walked into the door a little despairingly.

One hundred taels of silver is not a small sum. How to spend it is still a problem.

Li Yi would naturally not be like Lao Fang. The first thing he thinks of with money is to buy food.

When there is no shortage of food at home, he needs to consider, of course, how to maximize the value of the money, how to use this hundred taels of silver to make more silver, after all, no one can guarantee Every time I can meet local tyrants like King Ning and his son…

There is often silver, but not very often by local tyrants. If you want to make enough money and enjoy your old age, you have to rely on yourself.

was originally thinking about slowly accumulating enough funds with candied haws, but the changes are often faster than planned. At this time, he has small assets, obviously he can skip this step.

However, the business of candied haws is still going on. At least in a short period of time, when there is no market competition, there are still great profits for candied haws.

Of course, there is another important reason. Although the money is not a big deal to me, it is enough for Lao Fang and others to change their lives in the future.

Li Yi didn’t think about leading the entire stockade out of poverty and becoming rich, but Lao Fang, they are their own people, they can’t eat spicy food by themselves, watching them eat dirt…

Li Yi’s only ideal at this stage is to make money, earning a lot of money, at least enough for him to provide for the rest of his life.

As for the specific number, Li Yi doesn’t have a number in his mind. In short, the more the better!

With a start-up capital of 100 taels, according to Li Yi’s previous plan, we can now consider purifying high-concentration alcohol or making soap to make money.

Before the distillation and purification method was invented, the alcohol content in this world was actually pitifully low. Most of them were rice wine below ten degrees, but the highest was only 20 degrees. Only on this premise, there were thousands of glasses. It is possible not to be drunk. If you change to a liquor of 50 or 60 degrees for later generations, those so-called heroes in the wine, I am afraid that they have not drunk a thousand cups, and I don’t know how many deaths from alcohol poisoning.

The wine that the shopkeeper took out last night shouldn’t be very high. How can I encounter Li Yi, who would be dizzy when he smells a little wine, and only when he pours it hard, he will be dumped.

wine culture is also very prosperous in this world. The higher the alcohol, the more they pursue it. Presumably this will also be an unimpeded financial path.

The sterilization of wounds is also inseparable from high-concentration alcohol. Li Yi still cherishes his own life. If a modern person dies from wound infection in the future, it is not a small shame.

In addition to distilling alcohol, soap production must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

The legendary thing called pancreas used in bathing is also a rare thing in this world.

Li Yi had specifically searched for the Fang Market in Fucheng, but no one was sold.

After asking, I learned that the production method of pancreas is very complicated, and the secret recipe is only in the hands of a few people such as the royal family. It is a luxury that only a few people can use, and it is hard to see on the market~IndoMTL.com~ Even if it appears, it will be quickly bought at a high price.

things that are not so common in later generations, they become luxury goods in this world, which is of course a good thing for Li Yi.

He used to have a playful mindset before and DIY handmade soaps by himself. The materials needed were not many and the procedures were not complicated. He still remembers the production methods.

water, vegetable oil and sodium hydroxide can make the simplest handmade soap.

The soap made by this method does not contain any additives, has a strong decontamination ability, and has no harm to human skin.

Although sodium hydroxide is not readily available, it can be easily prepared with hydrated lime and soda ash without any difficulty.

After considering it in my heart, Li Yi still plans to start with making handmade soap.

He really had enough of the days when he took a bath completely by hand rubbing.

I was planning how this plan should be implemented, and I walked into the inner courtyard unknowingly. There was a sudden noise in my ears. Li Yi raised his head and saw a graceful figure moving around in the courtyard. Looking at Liu Ruyi’s dazzling long sword, like a snake, he took a beautiful sword flower, and it was a few feet away with a slight leap, Li Yixin was extremely envious.

If he can have this skill, is he afraid of being bullied?

If you encounter the scar face again, you can easily solve it by yourself.

At that time, with his extraordinary skill and this little white face, wouldn’t he be able to become a beautiful man with both civil and military skills, easily gain a large group of female fans, and casually embark on the peak of life?

Looking at Li Yi from a distance, that smile appeared on Li Yi’s face again, Liu Ruyi put away the long sword, and resisted the idea of ​​hacking him to death with a sword…
