Chapter 216: Magic Soap

Animal husbandry Miaojiazhuang has been done, now more than 800 households in Miaojiazhuang, a total of about 6,400 pigs, an average of 8 heads per family, as long as it lasts for a year, you can basically meet the needs of Miaojiazhuang, under the green storage feed and more reasonable feeding methods, the price of pork, there will be a significant reduction.

In addition, according to the theory of later generations, the price of animal oil is higher than that of vegetable oil, unless the material is extremely rich, and people do not use animal oil for health care.

To put it bluntly, it is the taste, when stir-frying, the vegetarian dishes fried with animal fat are better than vegetable oil, and adding a little animal oil to other ingredients in the soup is also the secret of the hotel to enhance the taste.

Vegetable oil, mostly refers to the squeezing of plant seeds, extracting the oil in it, the plant with the highest oil yield, oil palm with more than 70% oil yield, this super cash crop, originated in Africa, can be said to be beyond the reach of the whip, and some other high oil yields are basically not in China, let alone in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even the most basic peanuts have not been introduced into China, and the Northern Song Dynasty can now be used as a source of oil, which is probably soybeans and rapeseed, but unfortunately in this era, China uses cabbage-type rape, dry orchid-type, and still in Europe, not to mention that the yield is very low, and there are many pests and diseases.

At present, the Northern Song Dynasty also planted soybeans, sesame and other oil crops, after using these to extract oil, it should be able to reduce the price, sesame is still a little more expensive, soybeans are slightly better, in the future, you can also develop cotton, rapeseed oil, that is, take the plant is not a harvested substance, more are some seeds and the like, as long as the yield reaches a certain level, it can be used to extract oil, such vegetable oil, the quantity is guaranteed, and it is relatively cheap.

Soybean is probably the only source of value at present, on the one hand, the oil yield of soybeans is not low, the yield per mu is about 100-200 catties, the oil yield is 15%, converted into the yield of rice, 3:1, simple oil extraction, is enough to replace rice, not to mention, the soybean cake after oil extraction, is an important source of feed, can improve the intake of protein, for the aquaculture industry has a comprehensive promotion.

Vegetable oil is the mainstream in the future, compared with the high price of animal oil, the price of vegetable oil, that is, about two or three times the price of ordinary rice, which can control the cost as much as possible, rather than now, about seven or eight times the price of ordinary rice.

At this moment, under the threat of the Baozhou mutiny, Zhao Xin could only expand the soybean planting on the basis of the original Miaojiazhuang, about doubled, but unfortunately the soybean is the autumn grain, when they came, the autumn grain had already been planted for two or three months, and there was no way to affect it, at most, in the future, to Baozhou, to the Daimyo Mansion and other places with convenient transportation, to buy more soybeans.

It really can't be received, it doesn't matter, the meat consumed by Miaojiazhuang daily is enough to support the soap industry, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher, soap is a high-priced product in this era, especially the soap that is only made today, which is a luxury among the luxuries.

No one knows how to do it, but fortunately, it is also a very simple thing to take the soap out of the mold, carefully pull the soap out of the abrasive with a knife, because the mold is not very fine, and there are some burrs.

Put it in the daily chemical plant, it will be treated simply, and it will be done with a leveling tool, and now Zhao Xin certainly does not have this condition, but fortunately, the soap is relatively soft, and it is gently adjusted with a knife, and a boxy, about four taels of soap, appeared in front of everyone.

It looks good, white, opaque, looks wooden, a little dull, smells, there is a strong smell of soap, the production is done, he took two soaps, and walked out the door.

Sun Ji has always been next to him, in fact, the room where soap is produced, and the room where the kang is burned, is in a courtyard, one is the main room, the other is the side room, seeing that Zhao Xin has the intention of going out, he hurriedly followed, and the remaining few are still where to make soap, and the sulfur soap is already halfway there, and it is inseparable from human hands.

Fortunately, everyone believes in Xue Yu quite a lot, and at present, Miaojiazhuang has carried out a cleanup, especially the household registration system, so that the previous ambiguous relationship and personnel are proudly straightened out, according to the current investigation, unless the Wang family has started to lay out 10 years ago, otherwise, Miaojiazhuang can be trusted.

Think about it, this is impossible, 10 years ago, even Zhao Xin was not born, let alone deal with Miaojiazhuang, Miaojiazhuang is in Baozhou, the status is very high, placed in the capital, that is a remote place, even Miao Shufei's Miao Mansion, not many people pay attention, let alone a village in the countryside.

Coupled with the longbow team, the training of the regimental training, especially the regimental training, in the regimental training, after the most basic queue training, they specially arranged around Miaojiazhuang in the field training, and from time to time they assaulted and trained, all over the 20 miles around Miaojiazhuang, so to speak, even if there is any secret whistle, it is also so pervasive and assaulted, and it is full of holes.

Of course, Zhao Xin knew that at this moment, it was not suitable for a long trip, and he didn't plan to go far, so he went out of Miaojiazhuang and walked to the small river outside the village, surrounded by an open field, which was the place where the women in the village washed their clothes on weekdays, but because of the excavation of the moat, they had to go around and wash their clothes two miles downstream.

Zhao Xin stopped by the river, Sun Ji didn't dare to ask more, standing behind Zhao Xin, and after a while, Miao Yuan arrived in a hurry with two women.

Zhao Xingang told him to get some old clothes, bring some overcoats from the bun shop, and asked him to find two women who were quick and diligent.

Miao Yuan didn't know what Zhao Xin was going to do, these were very simple errand jobs, and under some orders, he brought two people to find him, Zhao Xin didn't tell him where he was by the river, but when he got out of the village, he knew it at a glance.

Miao Yuan's hands have two burdens, one is filled with old clothes, and the other is filled with the smock used in the steamed bun shop on weekdays.

The old clothes of this era, because there are many stains on them that have not been washed off, but because they are often washed, they do not look so obvious, and the villagers are mostly blue and black tones, which are also dirt-resistant colors.

Old clothes are the best carrier for testing soap, of course, these accumulated stains are not so easy to remove, stubborn stains, even in later generations is a difficult one, those high formula, high decontamination laundry detergent are easy to clean, Zhao Xin is just as an incidental, will wash a little cleaner, some not so stubborn, not long accumulated stains, can still be washed off.

The direction of his focus, in fact, is on the body of these smocks in the bun shop, these bun aprons and the like, at most less than half a month, the production environment of the bun shop, is noodles, water, and foaming agents and oils, especially oil stains, greasy stains, they are more difficult to clean, look more dirty.

On the contrary, because soap has a lipophilic substance, it should be better for the decontamination effect of oil stains and other stains.

Seeing Miao Yuan coming over with clothes, Sun Ji understood, this new invention is a civilian item, is it a kind of laundry supplies, Zhao Xin is really powerful, it seems that there are all kinds of strange inventions, and there are all kinds of things.

Sure enough, Zhao Xin let the two women start to try. In this era, there are only a few places to wash clothes, most of them are holding a laundry pestle, on the one hand, because the only cleaning supplies are bath beans, the price is too high, not to mention that ordinary farmers can't afford to use it, even if it is some wealthy, they are reluctant to wash clothes with bath beans.

To be able to give the ladies in the house,To ensure the supply of bath beans,It's already everyone.,Even men,Many times,It's just washed with water.,Because bath beans are too expensive.。。

In a few places, soaphorn is also used in the production of soaphorn, but this quantity is even less, and it is more limited.

Zhao Xin simply taught the washing method, washing clothes with soap is very simple, almost the same as usual, but after rinsing, beat it with soap, and then rub it out to foam, and then rinse it step by step.

On top of the wet clothes, soap was in, and the women scrubbed them with their hands, which was completely different from the usual laundry, it was amazing, there was a lot of foam, and the women didn't know what was going on, so they stopped and looked at Zhao Xin, who encouraged them to continue, it's okay, continue to rub.

This is the simplest, women are also used to do housework, slurry washing and so on, is a common thing, it seems that after playing this soap, scrubbing is also a little easier, maybe this is an illusion, then, the white foam, mixed with the clothes, soon became jet black, it seems that there are a lot of stains, washed out of the clothes.

"It's not really going to come out, is it?" Miao Yuan blurted out.

"When you're done, take a look!"

The two ladies were more capable, their hands and feet were quick, but they were two or three pieces of clothing, they sped up, very quickly, rubbed and rinsed, and the clothes were washed, and after several layers of rinsing, when the clothes were on them, there was no foam, even if they were not dried, they also saw the effect.

The most amazing thing is actually the bun apron, this smock has been used for at least half a month, at the beginning, it was still pulp washed, but the pulp wash was completely useless, at most it was washed off a little bit, dirty or dirty, there was no way, they could only wear it.

In this era, there is no knowledge of cleanliness and hygiene, as long as you can wear it, on top of the bun covering, layer by layer, it seems that the original color can no longer be seen.

This stubborn, difficult to wash off the grease, under the action of soap, was actually washed off, the clothes look quite neat, although there are some, too old stains, can not be cleaned, compared with the previous dirty, I don't know how much better.
