Chapter 52: Making Soap

As a poor and hungry low-level common man, as soon as he saw the silver, Lao Fang couldn't help but want to convert it into food. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It had become his instinctive reaction.

But this time, seeing the fist-sized silver ingots on the ground, Lao Fang felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

How much food can be bought with this silver is obviously beyond the scope of the old prescription, which is limited to addition and subtraction with an IQ of less than ten, can understand.

"Uncle, you, what did you do last night?"

Forcibly forcing his gaze to take his eyes off those tempting silver ingots, the old man swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, looked at Li Yi and asked.

Li Yi glared at the hairy little maid, leaned over and picked up the silver ingots on the ground one by one, put them in the baggage, and then raised his head and said, "When I got lost last night, I picked it up on the road." ”

"Pick up, pick up the ......" the old man's voice trembled a little.

This is almost more than a hundred taels of silver, he can't make so much money in his life, and he was picked up by his uncle so casually?

Even if he sells rock sugar gourds in the past few days, he can share half of it, and he can save so much money without eating or drinking, I'm afraid it will take several years!

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

Uncle's luck has always been very good, every time he goes out, he can always pick up something, although he hasn't picked up pheasants for a long time, but this time he picked up so much silver, even God helps my uncle so much!

The girl's mood experienced ups and downs overnight, and at this time, her heart was full of joy, and she secretly looked at Li Yi with her eyes, and she was reluctant to move away.

Seeing Li Yi and the others walk into the courtyard, Wu stood in place in a daze, the whole person was like a lightning strike, until now, she still couldn't believe what she saw in her eyes just now.

That's white silver!

She is afraid that she will never see so much silver in her next life.

For those poor families who are still living to fill their stomachs, all the expenses of a year add up to only about one or two pieces of silver, and those silver are enough for them to spend a lifetime......

I don't know how long it took for Wu to come back to his senses from his trance, pick up the copper basin from the ground, I don't know what the expression on his face was, and walked into the door a little dejected.

One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and how to spend it is still a problem.

Li Yi naturally wouldn't be like Lao Fang and them, the first thing he thought of when he had money was to buy food.

In the case that there is no shortage of food at home, what he needs to consider is, of course, how to make the most of this money, and how to use this hundred taels of silver to make more silver, after all, no one can guarantee that he can meet a local tyrant like King Ning and his son every time......

Silver is often available, but local tyrants are not often available, and if you want to make enough money to enjoy your old age, you have to rely on yourself.

Originally, he wanted to slowly accumulate enough funds by relying on the rock sugar gourd, but the changes often came faster than planned, and he already had a small amount of assets at this time, so he could obviously skip this step.

However, the business of rock sugar gourd still has to be done, at least in a short period of time, there is no market competition, and there is still a lot of profit to be made in rock sugar gourd.

Of course, there is another important reason that although this money is nothing to themselves, it is enough to change their lives for Lao Fang and others.

Li Yi didn't want to lead the entire village out of poverty and become rich, but the old party is their own people, so they can't eat and drink spicy food by themselves, and watch them eat soil......

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

As for how much this number is, Li Yi doesn't have a number in his mind yet, in short, the more ------, the better!

With a start-up capital of one hundred taels, according to Li Yi's previous plan, he can currently 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 low and pitiful, most of them were rice wine below ten degrees, and the highest was only twenty degrees, and only under such a premise could there be a thousand cups of not drunk.

The wine taken out by the shopkeeper last night should not be very high, how could I meet Li Yi who would faint when he smelled a little wine, and he would be put down in one gulp after pouring it violently.

Wine culture is also very prosperous in this world, and the higher the degree of wine, the more sought after by them, and presumably this will also be an unimpeded financial route.

And the sterilization and disinfection of wounds is also inseparable from high concentration of alcohol, Li Yi still cherishes his little life, a modern person, if he dies of wound infection in the future, it is not a small shame.

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

Legend has it that the pancreas used in bathing is also scarce in this world.

Li Yi had specially searched for it in the fang market in Fucheng, but he did not see anyone selling it.

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

What is ordinary in the later life will immediately become a luxury in this world, which is of course a good thing for Li Yi.

In the past, he also had a playful mentality, and DIY handmade soap by himself, which did not require many materials and the procedure was not complicated, and he still remembered the production method.

Water, vegetable oil and sodium hydroxide make it the simplest of handmade soaps.

The soap made by this method does not contain any additives, has a strong decontamination ability, and does not harm human skin.

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

After thinking about it in his heart, Li Yi still planned to start by making handmade soap.

He really had enough of the days when the bath was completely rubbed by hand.

Planning in his heart how this plan should be implemented, he unconsciously walked into the inner courtyard, and suddenly there was a strange sound in his ears, Li Yi raised his head and saw a graceful figure tossing and turning in the courtyard, a long sword with cold light, as light as a spiritual snake, watching Liu Ruyi hold a beautiful sword flower, and a few feet away with a slight jump, Li Yi was extremely envious in his heart.

If he can have such skills, is he still afraid of being bullied?

If you run into that scarface again, you can easily solve it by yourself.

At that time, with his extraordinary skills 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 go to the pinnacle of life?

Looking at Li Yi's face from a distance with that smile on his face again, Liu Ruyi put away his long sword and held back the idea of slashing him to death with a sword......
