Chapter 162 Don't Leak

Then, heat the lard and pour it into the prepared alkaline water.

After that, keep stirring the mixture to allow the oil and alkaline water to fully blend.

Goudan and Tietou were each responsible for stirring a bowl, and their wife was watching beside them. They were stirring and watching attentively. They observed carefully and asked questions directly when they saw any, because they all knew that Xiaocao liked to be direct, and if there was anything they didn't understand, they could ask directly without beating around the bush.

"Now the color seems to be getting darker, and it's getting harder to stir."

Xiao Caoer said beside him, "Yes, that's right. This is the result of a chemical reaction between oil and alkali."

"What is a chemical reaction?" everyone asked at the same time. Because it was the first time I heard this word, I followed the good tradition of Xiaocaoer: if you don't understand, ask.

"Huh? Chemical reaction is, it is..." Xiao Cao'er: How can I explain it to you all at once? You haven't received several years of compulsory education, it's strange that you know it?

But when you see a group of people looking at you with curiosity, well, I'll just give you a simple explanation: "A chemical reaction is when one thing plus another thing turns into a third different thing."

"Is it just like doing embroidery, using one kind of thread and adding several other kinds of threads to make beautiful patterns?" Li said with a look of enlightenment.

Xiao Cao'er: Mom, can I say you are so smart that you thought of this so quickly? But I'm sorry, you are wrong.

"No, this is not a chemical reaction, it's artificial synthesis."

“Is that the same as growing vegetables? I put the seeds in the soil, and after a while it grows. Seeds, soil, and vegetables grow.” Old Mrs. Yang said with a look on her face saying I’m the smartest.

"Not really. This is a natural phenomenon."

"Then what do you think it is? Tell me." Old Mrs. Yang didn't want to guess anymore.

"It's just like pickling cabbage. You put the cabbage layer by layer into the jar, sprinkle salt layer by layer, seal the jar, and after a while the cabbage becomes pickled cabbage. The pickling process is a chemical reaction."

"Oh, so that's how it is. It turns out that pickled cabbage becomes sour after a chemical reaction." Everyone looked as if they had suddenly realized something.

Goudan and Tietou chat and stir at the same time. After a while, the mixture will gradually become thick.

"See? It's about this thickness, that's it." Xiaocaoer let Goudan stir it while he talked to them.

By the time they had finished mixing the mixture, Yang Dashan came back with the model that Xiaocaoer wanted, just in time.

Finally, pour the mixed liquid into the mold and wait for it to cool and solidify. Once the soap is solidified, the soap is ready.

"Is it done already?" Old Mrs. Yang asked Xiao Caoer in disbelief.

"Yes, it's half done. Now we just have to wait for it to solidify and then it will be completely done." Xiao Cao'er replied.

"It's too easy." Azhi, Liu Fang and others also looked incredulous.

"It is very easy, which is why we ask everyone not to leak out the materials used. This is our trump card." Xiao Caoer reminded everyone again.

"Don't worry, it will never leak out." Everyone said together.

Li said happily, "When the soap is ready, we will use it to wash clothes and see how it works."

Xiao Cao nodded and said, "We can now use soap to wash clothes, so the clothes will be washed more cleanly. In the future, we will study whether we can add some spices to the soap so that people can wash their hands, faces, and baths, and wash them cleanly without hurting the skin. It will also have a fragrance, and then our dried flowers will come in handy."

"But everyone uses soap nuts to wash clothes. Will they still use our soap?" asked Goudan.

"Yes, soapberry can be used just by plucked from the tree. It doesn't need to be processed. It's so convenient, and the clothes washed there will be clean." Tietou asked based on his own experience in washing clothes.

"Soap is easy to store and can be used right away, which is very convenient. Moreover, soap can wash clothes much cleaner than soapberry, and it is especially easy to remove grease stains." Xiaocaoer said.

Old Mrs. Yang said, "I will use it to wash clothes later to see if it is really that useful."

"Milk, not so fast. You have to wait until it is completely solidified. You can only use it after it solidifies. It will take at least ten days. Don't pick at it, or you will damage it."

Old Mrs. Yang gave Xiao Cao'er a blank look: Do I look like such a stupid person?

"My daughter, do we just need to ignore all this now? Should we just continue doing it?" asked Mrs. Li.

"The oil we refined these two days has been used up. We'll continue making it when Dad has time to buy some lard." Xiao Cao'er said nonchalantly.

"Let someone make the soap boxes tomorrow. When these are ready, put them in the boxes, one piece in each box." Xiao Cao'er said and went back to the main room. After a while, she took out a piece of paper and showed it to them all. It was a rectangular piece, the size of a palm.

"In fact, you can also weave a small basket out of bamboo, wrap the soap in oil paper, and put it in the small basket after use." Xiao Cao said. It's like a modern soap box.

"Well, I think it's okay. You have to buy this basket separately. After you use up a bar of soap, you don't have to buy a small basket. It saves money." Goudan said

"Yes, this way it will be convenient for transportation when we grow bigger in the future. If we have our own stuff to load, we can save a few cents." Tietou also agreed.

Xiaocaoer meant the same thing. After all, a few cents is still money, and ordinary people might not buy soap in order to save a few cents.

But Xiao Caoer can't care about so many people. He can only refer to the majority of people who can afford it. There is no reason not to do this business just because some people can't afford it.

We still need to develop the soap as soon as possible. Soap is for rich people, and soap is just an extra.

However, soap can also be made to have a scent. After being used to wash clothes and drying, the clothes will have a scent, just like modern laundry detergent and laundry liquid, which still have a scent after drying.

Rich people would definitely like it. Rich people like to have their clothes scented with incense just to have a nice aroma.

Refer to it, refer to it, you must refer to it, make it as soon as possible to make money. If you can't make a high-end version, a normal version will do. The soap is just a low-end one.

"I don't know when big brother will come back. When the soap is made, I won't be able to give it to him first. It's such a pity!" Xiao Cao'er said.

"It's okay, we can send it over when the time comes. It won't take much time." Yang Dashan said.
