As soon as Zhu Shan left the house, Ji Ruxue came to look for Li Min.
She came with questions.
"Mr. Zili, what are you going to do with all the plant ash and lard?"
She looked at the things on the ground and some unknown bottles on the table, and asked in confusion.
He even said: "What do these things have to do with our sisters?"
How did she know that Li Min would teach them how to make soap next?
Things like soap were in short supply in ancient times. It would be perfect to have a hundred girls making soap together.
At the same time, some core knowledge is only taught to those selected by Yuan Tiangang.
In the eyes of outsiders, these things are ordinary but insignificant.
Since Ji Ruxue wanted to ask, he told her, and he happened to be free now.
After teaching her, she can also let these girls start giving birth.
"Come, let me tell you the answer!"
Li Min smiled and said.
Then he walked to the front, while Ji Ruxue was a little puzzled.
Answer?
What's that answer?
But he walked over anyway.
I saw that they came to a closed place.
There was a separate house here, and Ji Ruxue looked at the surroundings and strictly controlled them, not even flies could fly in.
You knew that what Li Min was going to do next was very important and he couldn't even let others know about it.
She was watching from the side.
Watching Li Min busy there.
Li Min poured the plant ash into more water than it did, and then began to stir it.
Don’t forget to introduce the steps.
Then, he filtered it with a cloth and some white liquid came out.
Repeatedly.
Ji Ruxue was still puzzled.
What's this?
"Mr. Zili, just let the servants do these jobs. What are you doing?"
She thought Li Min was doing rough work, but little did she know that Li Min was teaching her to do something earth-shattering.
Li Min ignored it and said:
"You see, it will be up to you to take charge of this work in the future! You can learn well, the amount of water to put in, and all the steps must be remembered! Every step is indispensable."
Ji Ruxue said directly:
"It's that simple?"
Every step here was searched by him, and every step is very important. Once there are more or less things, the results will be different.
"No! You'll know just by looking at it!"
Then he evaporated and concentrated the filtered alkali solution to increase the alkali concentration.
This step is very important and involves the degree of curing of the finished product.
At the same time, it is also to prepare for the next step.
Furthermore, ask the maids to bring the previously boiled lard and add it to the concentrated alkaline water.
Ji Ruxue felt nauseated and almost vomited.
When this lard is put into that water, it looks very greasy.
She never thought that Li Min would let her do these things.
But she said that no matter what happened in the future, she would follow Li Min.
Therefore, she must also do this work.
But often some things are only superficial phenomena, but if you look at the fundamentals, they will definitely shock people.
"Mr. Zili, can you tell me what's going on? I have a good idea."
It's really hard to explain something like soap. Everything can be verified by the effect of the finished product.
"Don't worry, you'll know it soon."
Li Min told her not to worry. In the meantime, he added some spices, concentrated essential oil and some powder.
Then put it into the pot and cook, stirring constantly.
A burst of fragrance spreads.
If you leave out the lard, this might be a wonderful aroma.
It's a pity that lard is really disgusting.
No matter how fragrant the food is, there will inevitably be knots in your heart.
Then, the transparent lard suddenly lost its shape. If you didn't tell it, no one would know it was lard.
In this way, the mixture is cooked until it is very thick.
Li Min knew that the saponification was now complete.
Next, just wait for it to cool before it can be shaped.
"Come here, put on the mold!"
The maids brought over the molds they had prepared before.
And he poured the cooked soap liquid into the mold.
"OK?"
"Wait! Wait a little longer."
After he finished, he sat down and drank Coke, looking casual.
But Ji Ruxue didn't know why.
What on earth is he going to do?
"But……"
"Do you remember everything I just did?"
Li Min asked.
"remember."
"Well, just sit down and we'll know the result in a while."
Ji Ruxue remained silent and could only wait.
This is a long process.
I'm afraid it won't get better in the short term.
Until Zhu Shan returns.
"Mr. Zili, I'm back!"
"Hmm? What's the result?"
Zhu Shan stepped forward and whispered: "The Wang family asked Wang Xie to take the Turks around, and they have already agreed on the next porcelain sales plan.
The Wang family is also very hardworking, producing hundreds of thousands of sets of porcelain alone!
The transaction with the Turks is to exchange one set for one sheep. I heard that His Majesty also gave a plan to purchase the sheep. Each sheep will be charged 500 coins and must be sold to the court."
Zhu Shan made it very clear.
It seems that Li Shimin will be involved in these things.
That would be better. Whose money is not earned?
If he can get an order from the Wang family, he will earn at least tens of thousands this time.
Li Min had an idea in his mind.
"What's the name of the Turks?"
"My name is Ashina. I heard that he is a noble."
"Then where are they now?"
"Inside the brothel!"
"Very good, pay close attention. When they come out, let Fang Yiai beat Wang Xie again and say it was the person named Xu who did it! Do you know?"
Zhu Shan understood that this was not the first time they had done this.
"Also, invite Ashina to the Shengtang Group. I have something to talk to him about!"
"clear!"
"Wait a minute, find someone who understands Turkic language. I need a translator!"
At this time, Ji Ruxue said: "Mr. Zili, I know Turkic language, why don't you come with me?"
Um?
Li Min underestimated Ji Ruxue.
He thought about it, and it seemed that most of the women who could hang out in brothels could speak two or three languages. After all, Chang'an was a metropolis that attracted people from all over the world to do business.
They generally have nowhere to go, except brothels.
In order to please them, most of these brothel girls will also learn the language of their country, and some will even act as tour guides to take these foreigners around.
Therefore, it is normal for Ji Ruxue to understand Turkic language.
