The toothpaste was available, and the shampoo was also made, so Xu Yinyin started researching the recipe of soap.
Soap is easy to make.
Xu Yinyin studied it clearly, asked Old Man Xu to buy the needed things, and then started to take action immediately.
Add quicklime to water to obtain lime water, and then add caustic soda to the lime water solution to cause a chemical reaction. The calcium carbonate generated will sink to the bottom, and the remaining solution is the alkali required for making soap.
Once you have the lye, you can start making it.
This recipe can be made with both soap and scented soap, so Xu Yinyin planned to make both. Soap is convenient for washing clothes, and scented soap is suitable for washing hands and face.
For oil, use the simplest lard.
First heat the lye and lard together, stirring constantly during the heating process. After boiling, continue to heat over low heat to fully saponify the fat. Stir continuously during this process. This process takes a long time.
After more than half of the water has evaporated, it is poured into a mold to cool and shape. The mold is specially made by someone who knows carpentry in the village.
Adding salt before cooling can increase the hardness of the soap, and soap will be produced in about an hour.
Seeing that Old Man Xu was satisfied, Fang Changxu immediately contacted the person in charge of the shop.
After the test the day before yesterday, he knew that he was finished. After playing for a whole day, he was now waiting for the verdict. He was also mentally prepared to be punished.
Xu Dajun is not having an easy time going to school today.
"Three taels? No need to negotiate? Can't it be less?" Sun Tzu's estimated rent is almost 2 taels.
Xu Yinyin tried two pieces and cooked the second pot, which made a big pot full.
There is a yard at the back, which is quite large. There are four rooms for people to live in, as well as a kitchen and a hut.
The middleman wanted to sell the shop, after all, that way he could make more money.
This used a lot of lard, and Old Man Xu was a little distressed, but when his granddaughter said that this bar of soap cost at least 20 cents, he quickly made a calculation in his mind and stopped talking.
…
But after talking for a long time, the other party still wanted to rent, so he couldn't push the deal, right?
Old Man Xu is in a hurry to open his shop, and he doesn't care if he doesn't quickly sell the things Siya makes at home for money.
Fang Changxu had heard from Xu Dajun a long time ago and knew that he would come to the city today to see the shop, so we went there early in the morning and ordered a meal before returning.
Finally, the fixed price is 28 yuan a month, no matter how much it is, there is no negotiation.
Old man Xu went to Fang's house.
But when the paper was handed out, he was still dumbfounded.
Therefore, early the next morning, Xu Dajun and others entered the city, and he went with them.
"Then go to the next one."
Old man Xu almost fainted from being fooled by him, so he quickly stopped and said, "Just tell me how much the rent is?"
He never thought that he could do so poorly in the exam!
First, the front of the shop is large, so it is no problem to open a sanitary ware shop. Second, there are four rooms in the backyard, and there is a well, so it is convenient for food and accommodation.
Looking at it this way, it looks pretty good.
However, he still had to ask his grandson's opinion on this matter. No matter how urgent it was, he couldn't do anything about it today, so he simply didn't have to worry about it for a while.
In modern times, it would be a 100-point paper, but he only scored 20 points.
And the location is not bad either.
The two long, rectangular pieces of white soap that were as big as the palm of your hand made old man Xu smack his lips, "Is this soap? For washing clothes? These look like lumps of lard!" It was the lard that solidified into this.
shape.
Then we went to Yanglou Lane, which is usually very lively in the city.
When we arrived at Yanglou Alley, we slowly started walking forward from the end of the alley.
The middleman also wants to complete this business, and the price is expected, but the base price is there, and it cannot be less.
First, we ate a bowl of wontons each and walked around, but couldn't find a suitable shop.
Everyone in China will say that it is a lot of flattery at the beginning, making people feel comfortable, and makes you feel embarrassed to ask if you don't buy it later.
He felt more confident about opening a shop. His granddaughter moved so fast, so he couldn't move too slowly.
Fang Changxu happens to be in charge of this area in the yamen, and he is quite familiar with these market conditions, and has more gossip.
"Here, brother, look at this shop. It was just vacated two days ago. It's available for rent or sale. The location is good. There are quite a few people who have come to see this shop in the past two days. They haven't talked about leaving yet. Let's take a look at this shop first.
.”
"But there is a toothbrushing shop next door to this shop, so let's take a look first."
"This is soap? Can you wash your face?" Old man Xu looked at it and was speechless in surprise. He obviously didn't buy any dye. How could this soap have such a beautiful color?
He couldn't put it into words, but in his heart he felt that Si Ya's granddaughter was really amazing.
Spices and flower petals are added to this pot, poured into molds of various shapes such as round, flower-shaped, and pumpkin-shaped, and then cooled and shaped into pieces of soap.
The shop in front is not very big. It is squeezed between two large shops. It cannot be seen at first glance. It is not suitable to open a shop selling food and other things, but it is more than enough to open a shop selling small things and so on, with shelves on both sides.
of.
This shop has two rooms, but its front is small. It can be considered as one in a big restaurant.
Old man Xu gritted his teeth and thought about it for a long time, and then discussed it carefully with Fang Changxu.
This shop has only one facade. The door is open at this time for the convenience of those looking at the shop. There is a small corner courtyard behind the shop with two small rooms, one for living and one for the kitchen.
When he changed to modern times, no matter how bad his studies were, he never did so poorly in the exam.
After walking half a street, we arrived at the house Fang Changxu was talking about.
It is said to be decoration, but Old Man Xu feels that there is nothing to decorate in this shop. The front of this shop sells groceries, and nothing has been done. The walls and everything are new, and they look fine. They just need to decorate the shop.
Once the things are put in, it can be opened immediately.
At the same time, Fang Changxu once again completed all the procedures for Old Man Xu to open this shop, and just waited for the decoration to be completed before opening.
The middleman worked neatly, and with Fang Changxu watching over him, he quickly signed the lease document, stamped his fingerprints, and went to the Yamen to file the record.
Now I took Old Man Xu out and went to the street next to the market.
Finally, we made a decision and decided on this place.
So, within a few days, the shop was decided.
Xu Dajun went to school, went to school, went to work, went to work.
But this shop looked a little too crappy. Old man Xu looked around and shook his head, not satisfied.
Well, how should I put it?
Immediately he said: "I want my father-in-law to know that the monthly rent for this shop is thirty-five taels. If you pay the rent for a year at a time, thirty-five taels will be sufficient."
After such a long time, it was already past noon, and the two of them had not eaten lunch. At that moment, Fang Changxu took Old Xu back and had a drink together. Old Xu also waited for his grandson to come back from school so that he could tell him about the shop.
Standing in front of a shop, Fang Changxu introduced it to Old Man Xu.
He didn't write the right questions at all about policy or not. At this level, if he had to take the county examination that tests the merits of young students, he would be looking in the mirror with a black face - asking for embarrassment.
The gentleman's original words were not a single curse word, nor did they mean a curse, but they made him so embarrassed that he could not even lift his face.
I failed the first test at my new school. To be honest, it was quite embarrassing.
Xu Dajun ignored Fang Zian, who was biting the pen holder next to him and gloating at the thought of being accompanied. He ignored the burning feeling in his palms and settled down to copy the book.
