Chapter 144: Soap
The charcoal fire under the furnace was booming, the pot was bubbling hot, Li Yi put the thinly sliced mutton into the pot, and after being scalded by the soup, it quickly turned over, and was about to stretch out the chopsticks to clamp it, when an afterimage suddenly flashed in front of him, snatching away the mutton he had just ordered with lightning speed......
Li Yi glanced at Liu Ruyi, in terms of hand speed, he can't compare with Miss Liu Er at the moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
For the sake of today's mutton being cut by her, I won't worry about these little things with her.
I re-sandwiched a piece of mutton as thin as a piece of paper, dipped it in the bowl that had already been adjusted, and it melted in my mouth, and I was able to cut the mutton so thinly that Miss Liu Er's knife work really deserved its reputation.
Eating hot pot naturally can't be without spicy, and I didn't find a place to sell chili peppers in the market, but fortunately, there are a lot of spices here, and I found a substitute, although the spicy taste still can't be compared with chili peppers, but it can only be made like this.
"Xiaohuan, put some tofu, by the way, some greens, mushrooms, radishes, ......" Li Yi commanded the little maid while picking up a glass of fruit wine and taking a sip. Although eating hot pot in autumn is not as pleasant as in winter, Li Yi, who is already itching, can't wait that long.
"Xianggong eat slowly, no one will rob you." Seeing Li Yi pick up a piece of tofu from the pot and send it to his mouth, he was reluctant to spit it out when he was burned and inhaled, Liu Ruyi said with some amusement.
"Why didn't anyone rob ......" Li Yi glanced at Miss Liu Er opposite, and the movements in his hands did not stop, and he scooped up the mutton he had just put in.
It will be winter in two months, and there will be many opportunities to eat hot pot in the future, so it is necessary to instill hot pot etiquette in Miss Liu Er, and it is very impolite to take away the things that others deliberately put in......
Eating hot pot is actually eating the atmosphere, the family gathered around the small stove, chatting while eating, the little maid did not follow Li Yi recently, and finally had a chance, and the conversation box was opened and could no longer be closed.
Lao Fang smelled the smell, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
His eyes were fixed on the hot pot in the middle of the room, and he couldn't move it anymore.
"Old Fang is here, Xiaohuan, go add a pair of chopsticks to Uncle Fang." Li Yi greeted the small ring road.
"What's so embarrassing......"
Lao Fang's face showed his signature smile again, and he moved a small chair to sit next to Li Yi with embarrassment, waiting for Xiaohuan to bring him chopsticks, and fished them in the pot, but after nothing was fished up, the smile froze on his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I've eaten all the dishes...... If only you had come earlier. Li Yi looked up at Lao Fang and asked tentatively, "Why don't you drink some soup?" ”
…………
There was still a little mutton left, and the dishes were not finished, watching Li Yi add soup to the pot, and the meat and vegetables went down to the pot, Lao Fang's face showed a beautiful expression again.
Waiting for the dishes to be cooked, Lao Fang took out a translucent object from his arms, handed it to Li Yi, and said, "Uncle, what kind of soap did you say last time seem to have become, you can see if it's good." ”
Looking at the square blocky object in Lao Fang's hand, Li Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
In this era when the poor generally bathed in soap beans, it was a very happy thing to have a piece of soap.
Some time ago, the old party bought some alkaline noodles and lime, and used the saponification reaction to make a batch of soap out, and the cold soap needs to be used after a maturity period of nearly a month.
Just after eating the hot pot, it is inevitable that my hands will be stained with some greasy, and some of them can't wait to hit the water, and after rubbing the soap in the water, a layer of rich foam will appear on the hands.
This is the advantage of handmade soap, with a lot of foam, strong decontamination ability, and amazing cleaning power while not causing any damage to the skin.
When Li Yi made the first batch of soap, he didn't add some messy things to it, although it didn't look good, but it was very practical.
After rubbing the foam on my hands for a while, and then rinsing it with water, my hands no longer feel greasy.
"Uncle, what is this?" Xiaohuan blinked curiously at the soap in Li Yi's hand, very strange about this thing that could produce foam.
"Well, this is called soap, which is used for washing hands and bathing, and it is much easier to use than bath beans."
"It's the pancreas." The little girl nodded as if she didn't understand.
"What pancreas, can pancreas compare to my soap?" Li Yi pinched her little face and said, "I just finished eating hot pot, there is a smell on my body, go take a bath." ”
"Xiaohuan doesn't have a taste......" The little girl stretched out her sleeve and sniffed it, muttered a sentence in her mouth, and ran to the kitchen to boil water.
When Li Yi turned around, he found that Miss Liu Er was playing with bubbles there, and seemed to be very interested in soap.
And then...... Li Yi's first piece of soap was ruthlessly confiscated by her.
She takes a shower every day when she comes back from practice, and this soap is obviously better than bath beans.
For the sake of not being able to beat her, Li Yi didn't care about her, the first batch of soap made was about dozens of yuan, some were left at home, and the rest was divided by the old party.
The soap made by himself does not add chemical stabilizers, preservatives, preservatives, etc., of course, Li Yi just wants to add it, and the use date is generally about a year.
According to the tutorial in the book, it was actually made at one time, and then made some in small batches, improved the process, and added some essential oils and fragrances to it, which is the real soap, as for the current finished product can only be called soap, if some sulfur is added appropriately, it is sulfur soap, which has a certain bactericidal and insect control effect, can prevent diseases, and has higher practical value for this era when health awareness is still very poor.
Ruyilu has been out of the way for quite some time, and it's time to launch another new product.
This time, Li Yi plans to take the low-end and high-end routes, ordinary soaps are sold at a lower price, take the civilian route, and soaps with fragrance are slightly more expensive, take the aristocratic route, of course, the fragrance can also be customized by yourself, but the price will be higher.
It covers the low-end and high-end markets, and the profits are afraid to be as high as Yilu.
However, because the production cycle is too long, when the soap officially starts to sell, I am afraid that it will have to wait until next year.
…………
With the sharing of several other shops, the business of Ruyifang was booming for two days, and then gradually subsided, and there were a few girls in the store who took care of Lao Fang, and he didn't have to worry, he hadn't gone down the mountain for two days.
When you have nothing to do, practice martial arts, tell a few adapted fairy tales to the little maid, or find some interesting books in the library to recharge yourself, and live a leisurely life.
The night is deep, the willow leaf village is very quiet, hundreds of miles away, Jingdu, inside the palace, in a magnificent palace, the same quiet.
