Yang Sanniu stared at the white paper with some doubts, "Master, can this thing really make money?"
Ling Yun did not answer, but pretended to be mysterious, "We will know in the future whether we can make money."
After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, he stood up and left.
When he found out that Ling Yun had left, Yang San was stunned for a moment. What were he going to do here? Can he still have a good meal?
Ignoring my random thoughts, I quickly picked up the vegetable basket and chased after him, saying, "Master, you...where are you going?"
Ling Yun ignored it and just kept walking forward.
When Yang Sanniu saw this, he had no choice but to keep silent and follow him all the way.
Ling Yun walked in a hurry, his steps were windy, and he arrived at the yard where he was cooking in a blink of an eye.
His arrival immediately made the elder sister who was cooking panic and panic.
"Yun... Master, why are you here? But the food is not to your liking?"
The eldest sister who cooks is named Lin. As for her name, she did not say in detail, so she calls her Sister Lin.
Sister Lin is twenty-two years old this year. She was rescued by Ling Yun from Heiyun Village. Because she stayed in the house and was good at cooking, Ling Yun asked her to take charge of the kitchen, and she was highly valued.
Now when I saw him arriving, with Yang Sanniu carrying a vegetable basket behind him, I thought that the food I cooked was not to my liking, so my face turned pale and I felt even more embarrassed.
Ling Yun immediately smiled and said, "Sister Lin, the food is delicious. As for me coming here, it's not because of this, I just came here to find some things."
As soon as these words came out, Sister Lin felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill, and her frightened heart instantly calmed down a lot.
He quickly said, "Master, if you need anything, just give your order and I will send it to you immediately without wasting any time. There is no need to go there in person."
Ling Yun shook his head, "I still need to do this in person, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be done."
"This..." Sister Lin hesitated. After all, there is no reason for the owner to enter the kitchen, not to mention that the owner is the governor, so he cannot enter the kitchen.
Ling Yun waved his hand, "Okay, Sister Lin, don't think too much and come here to help me."
With that said, he walked into the kitchen.
Although Sister Lin didn't want him to go into the kitchen, under the circumstances, she didn't dare to stop him and could only follow behind her carefully.
Seeing that Sister Lin was really frightened, if he did it himself, he would probably make her even more panicked, so he decided not to do it himself.
"Sister Lin, I told you to do it."
"Hey! Master, I'll come, I'll just come."
When she heard this, it could be seen that Sister Lin relaxed completely and agreed to his proposal without hesitation.
Of course, she had no reason to refuse.
Ling Yun gave the command directly without thinking, "Sister Lin, pour the lard, salt, and water into the pot...then heat it up and stir it."
Sister Lin didn't know what she was going to do, so she could only follow Ling Yun's instructions and put in everything he mentioned.
But after cooking it for a while, it didn't seem to take shape.
Ling Yun immediately added salt and kept adding salt. The amount of salt added made Sister Lin extremely heartbroken.
Because he kept adding salt and not listening to stirring, the contents of the pot took shape. But before Ling Yun could be happy about this scene, he discovered the problem.
This shaped thing doesn't look like soap at all. It's just a pile of salt.
This situation made him shake his head and sigh.
It is not his character to admit defeat. It is his character to keep moving forward and keep trying.
So, he took out the contents of the pot and continued to stir according to the previous steps, but this time he reduced the amount of salt a lot. Unfortunately, the result he wanted was still not achieved.
Remove it, put it in again, stir it again... I don't know how many times he has done this experiment, but the results every time are contrary to his expectations.
After countless stirrings, Sister Lin was already exhausted, but Ling Yun did not give up. She could only grit her teeth and persevere, but even so, her hands kept shaking.
"Sister Lin, stop!"
When Ling Yun saw this, he immediately signaled her to stop.
Sister Lin couldn't hold it back and asked, "Master, are you not going to do it?"
"Well! It's not needed for now."
After saying that, he buried his head and left the kitchen, leaving the two of them confused.
Sister Lin looked at Yang Sanniu, "Sanniu, Master... Master, what is going on?"
Yang Sanniu choked on his words, thinking that it would be weird if he knew, because he wanted to ask this too.
But after all, as the young master's personal bodyguard, he certainly couldn't say he didn't know when faced with Sister Lin's inquiry. Therefore, he had no choice but to act like he was used to it, and responded vaguely, "Sister Lin, I don't know.
...It's okay, Master does this all the time, just get used to it."
Sister Lin doubted, "Really...really?"
"That's not true. Our young master is not an ordinary person, and his ideas are different from mine."
"oh!"
Sister Lin suddenly realized it. After thinking about it, she thought it was right, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Yang Sanniu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly escaped from the kitchen.
When he returned to Ling Yun, he saw him deep in thought.
With a helpless sigh, Boring squatted aside, extremely bored, resting his chin on his hands, and dozed off.
When he was about to fall asleep, Ling Yun jumped up suddenly, looked up to the sky and laughed, "I thought of it, hahaha... I finally remembered..."
Yang Sanniu was so frightened by his wild laughter that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he could only look straight at him.
Ling Yun was ecstatic and looked at Yang Sanniu, "Sanniu, Master, I understand. I remembered that caustic soda is still missing. As long as we have caustic soda, we can succeed."
After figuring it out, Ling Yun started preparing caustic soda, but he encountered another problem. There was no ready-made caustic soda in this era, so he had to make it himself.
Fortunately, making caustic soda is not difficult and only requires quicklime.
After a lot of effort, he finally found quicklime, and after a lot of hard work, he finally succeeded in making caustic soda.
With caustic soda, soap is at your fingertips.
Prepare the ingredients for soap production, which are actually lard, caustic soda, salt, water and other materials.
General steps: Add water to the pot and add caustic soda at the same time. After all the alkali has dissolved, add oil, continue heating and stirring continuously.
After the ingredients in the pot are completely boiled, continue heating over low heat and stir constantly to fully saponify the oil.
This process takes a long time, even a whole day.
After the saponification of the materials in the pot is completed, add salt into the pot and stir to fully dissolve the salt and promote the agglomeration of the soap base.
At this time, it needs to rest for two or three hours before it can take shape.
Take out the resting materials. When taking it out of the pot, take out the upper soap liquid and put it in the soap box and wait for it to slowly solidify and form. After it is formed, it will be the soap base.
