Datang romantic little landlord

Page 373

So even if Li Wangyou wanted to obtain a large amount of lard in Datang and use it to refine soap, it was unrealistic.

But if you just make it for your own use, it's not a troublesome thing, Li Wangyou can do it now.

He first learned this skill from his grandfather. Many old people in the countryside know how to make soap from pig pancreas.Pig pancreas is the pancreas of a pig, which is processed into soap with alkaline water and other materials.

But although the soap made by Zhupanzi is easy to use, it is not good-looking, and many girls can't accept it.

When Li Wangyou was in college, in order to pick up girls and learn to be romantic, he made handmade soaps for elementary school girls.The soap was made, but the elementary school girl was not uncommon, and instead accepted the boy who gave her beautiful jewelry... Now that I think about it, it is really a sad story.

Back then, it didn't matter if the primary school girl was not rare, but now that the boss of the beautiful woman ordered it, Li Wangyou naturally started working immediately.

He asked Li Heng to help him prepare lard and caustic soda, and he ran to Carpenter Liu's house and asked him to carve some molds for him right away.The mold is not complicated, just use wood to take out the shape of the soap, and then simply engrave some patterns.

This was naturally a piece of cake for Carpenter Liu, and within half an hour, the mold Li Wangyou needed was carved out.

Everything is ready, go back home and start work, making soap.

Making soap is actually very simple. Put lard, caustic soda and alcohol in a certain proportion into an earthen jar to heat, and then keep stirring.

Keep heating and stirring until no fat is visible, then add salt and continue stirring.

Finally, take out the solidified matter floating on the crock pot and rinse it off, and it will be soap.Vegetable dyes and petal perfume are added to the soap, which is a fragrant soap.

Then press it into the mold and extrude it into shape, it will be the same as the soap sold in supermarkets in later generations.

Li Wangyou called Niu Wu and Niu Yong into the kitchen to help him.The three big men sweated a lot from their busy work, and finally made a pile of soap.

Let the brothers from the Niu family help themselves and wrap up the soaps with oiled paper, and it will be considered a success.

"Lang Jun, what are you making? But food? Let me try how it tastes..." Niu Wu picked up a piece of soap, weighed it twice, and was about to chew it in his mouth.

It's not Niu Wu's fault, anyone who sees these things are made from lard will think that Li Wangyou is doing something to eat.

"Stop!" Li Wangyou hurriedly called out to this idiot, and reached out to snatch the soap back from his hand: "Damn it, this is soap, it's for bathing, it's also used for acacia soup."

"Then why are you making it so hard, sir? Isn't there acacia soup in the mansion?" Niu Wu asked puzzled.

Li Wangyou was so angry that he didn't bother to explain to them, he just threw two pieces of soap to the two brothers: "I don't want to tell you two idiots, take these two pieces of soap back and give it to your daughter-in-law and you will know."

Leaving these words behind, Li Wangyou emptied the remaining soap, went to the backyard on his own, and went to seek credit from his beautiful boss.

Both Niu Yong and Niu Wu were at a loss, thinking that what kind of "soap" their husband made out of nowhere was completely superfluous.Since it is as useful as acacia soup, why bother to make it so hard?

The two of them were too lazy to study this issue, so they simply went back to their respective rooms with a piece of soap.

"Husband, you're back? Hey, what are you holding in your hand? It's so pretty." Seeing Niu Yong enter the room, Niu Yong's daughter-in-law Su Qiao quickly put down the darning clothes in her hand, and stepped forward to serve her husband.Seeing the soap clutched in Niu Yong's hand, he couldn't help asking.

The soap made by Li Wangyou is emerald green because of the addition of vegetable dyes, and there are patterns extruded by molds, which looks pretty good.

"Oh, this is the soap that our brother made for Mr. Mr. Mr. He said that it is the same as the acacia soup. It is used for bathing. Ladies can try it." Niu Yong explained, seeing that his daughter-in-law was interested, he quickly passed the soap past.

Su Qiao curiously reached out to take the soap, but found that it had an unusual fragrance, and a fresh scent came to her nostrils.

"It smells so good, this soap smells really good."

"Use it if you like it. It's getting late, so go take a bath and rest earlier."

"Well, I see, the concubine will go to the bathroom to take a bath and change clothes first." After Su Qiao finished speaking, she took the towel and underwear, picked up the piece of soap and walked to the bathroom...

394 Perfume Causes Trouble

Since the brothers from the Niu family got married, in order to make life easier for the two new wives in Li's mansion, Li Wangyou specially hired craftsmen to renovate the two wing rooms in the front yard.

In the wing room where Niu Yong and Niu Wu lived, Li Wangyou asked craftsmen to build a bathroom and toilet inside the house.

It would be embarrassing for the two new wives of the Niu family to share the bathroom and toilet in the front yard with others.

In fact, Li Wangyou thought too much. To have a bathroom for daily bathing and a clean and hygienic toilet, this kind of life is already too luxurious in the eyes of Tang people, even unimaginable.

Needless to say in the bathroom, there is no ceramic toilet that can flush automatically in the whole Datang.Even Li Er and a group of princes came to visit this thing, and after using the toilet in Li's residence, they were all envious of it.

If it weren't for the flush toilet, the sewer pipes needed to be remodeled. Li Er and the princes all wanted Li Wangyou to help them renovate the palace and mansion.

As for the bathroom in the room, hot water for bathing at any time, in the eyes of Tang people, it is simply the life of gods.

The two new daughters-in-laws of the Niu brothers, who had just entered Li's mansion, made a lot of jokes because of the toilets and bathrooms in the mansion.

To be able to bathe in hot water every day, in the eyes of Su Qiao and the others, even saints and eldest grandson queens do not have such a luxurious life.

Tang people seldom bathe, not because they don't like it, but because of the conditions.

After all, it is troublesome to use firewood to boil water for bathing, even in a big family.

The word rest and bathing refers to rest and bathing, and even court officials rest and bath once every ten days, which shows how extravagant it is to take a bath every day.Not only in the Tang Dynasty, but even in the later period of the Republic of China, bathing in the countryside was also troublesome.

Farmers in the south of the Yangtze River even have a bathing custom, which is said to have been passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, called pot bathing.

It is to set up a large pot directly on the stove to boil water, and people sit directly in the iron pot to take a bath.

Usually, if a family in the village wants to cook a pot for bathing, it will notify the whole village, and every family will bring their own firewood and go to that house to boil water for bathing.It is not easy to boil a pot of water and bathe in order according to status, men, women, and children.

Therefore, in Datang, being able to take a bath every day, in the eyes of Su Qiao and others, is really a luxury, but they like it very much.

Being able to take a comfortable hot bath every day made Su Qiao feel that it was the most correct choice in life for her to take the initiative to ask to marry her husband that day. For Li Wangyou, the master, she admired her even more.

In the bathroom, Su Qiao picked up the piece of soap made by her husband and lord, and looked at it for a long time, not knowing how to use it.But my husband said that it has the same purpose as acacia soup, so it should be applied to the body, right?

Su Qiao carefully held the soap and applied it on her delicate skin, but was surprised to find that when the soap was rubbed, white foam appeared.

Not only is it smooth, but also has a pleasant aroma, and the foam can cleanse the dirt on the body.

Su Qiao has been in the palace for more than ten years, in fact, she has used a lot of good things in the palace, and has seen the world.But such a miraculous soap surprised her, it couldn't be more miraculous.

After taking a bath, Su Qiao carefully put away the soap, and kept it like a treasure.

She doesn't plan to use this soap for anyone anymore. As for her husband, um, a stinky man should just use acacia soup, hehe.

When Su Qiao came out of the shower, she brought a scent of fragrance, which made Niu Yong stare at his wife without turning his eyes.

"Husband, what are you looking at?" Su Qiao was a little embarrassed by his look, her face turned red and she gently pushed him.

"Look at my lady, hehe. Lady, why do you smell so good today? What kind of smell is this..."

"I hate it, this is bathing with the soap my husband brought back just now, and there is this fresh fragrance on my body."

"It smells so good, lady, come, let me smell it again."

"Ah, husband..."
