Chapter 1183 I guess it's food

...

The folk story about Qinghe Hou having seven daughters to make up the legend continues to ferment among the people. Everyone is talking about it, and the wind direction has completely changed.

In the past, I felt incredible and regretful that Qinghe Hou Lian gave birth to four daughters.

But now, it’s all about excitement and emotion.

The gods bless the seven fairies to come to the mortal world and be reincarnated in the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion. In the future, the Qin Dynasty will surely bless the people with good weather and good food and well-dressed food. Therefore, many embroidered ladies and weaving ladies even offered tablets of the seven fairies at home and began to burn incense and worship.

And soon the legend was upgraded. The First Emperor actually gave Qinghe Marquis four daughters, each of which was 300 households. This completely confirmed the legend of the Seven Fairies. In other words, the emperor admitted that Qinghe Marquis wanted to give birth to seven fairies, so the people became more pious. Some people began to raise money to build the Seven Fairies Temple inside and outside the city. For a time, Xianyang was in full swing, and the topic was discussed when they met.

As this matter became more and more powerful, Ying Shiman's mother, Concubine Yun, and a group of concubines in the palace could not help. Seven or eight wives and concubines drove out of the city to Qinghe Villa to visit the four little fairies, especially Ying Shiman's two daughters, who were even kissed by the emperor's wives. Each of them was rewarded with a lot of luxurious precious jewelry such as pearls, jades, agates, and other precious jewelry. After a bustling hour, they left, and Xiao Chen Xi was already covered with objects and could not walk.

"Oh, this matter is a mess!" After several days of continuous progress, Chen Xu was so sad that he could not eat.

But I have to swallow the evil I have committed with tears in my eyes, so I can only wait until the matter is slowly calmed down before talking about it.

"Mr. Marquis, all the soaps from Jingyang Daily Chemical Factory have been delivered, three hundred high-end soaps and eight hundred ordinary soaps. In addition, all the 300 soap boxes customized by the glass factory and the wooden factory have been delivered. Let's see when will they be sent to the palace!" The old butler came to report.

"I ordered all the car loading, and I will take it to the palace in person!" After Chen Xu finished his order, he went to the backyard to wash and change clothes, and at the same time, he asked Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Fan Caiying and Fan Caiwei to clean up and organize, and prepare to go to the palace together to return gifts to thank the emperor.

The emperor rewarded three hundred fiefs of the four daughters of legitimate and illegitimate families, regardless of whether they were divided, and Chen Xu was both confused and moved. Moreover, the emperor also invited him to take his family to the palace to enjoy the flowers and spring. This matter could not be delayed for too long, but he naturally could not go empty-handed if he wanted to return the gift. Chen Xu prepared these soaps and soap boxes.

It is mid-spring of February, and all kinds of fruit and wood flowers are in full bloom all over the mountains. Jingyang Daily Chemical Factory advertises in newspapers to collect flowers and mint herbs in large quantities. Therefore, in the past half month, there have been a constant stream of people coming and going to Princess Huayu's Mansion in Jingyang County every day. People carrying baskets, carrying loads, horses and donkeys are gathered in groups, including men, women, young and old, all of whom go to sell flowers. In addition, the fragrance of essential oil extracted in Huayu Palace, Jingyang County is filled with a fascinating fragrance of flowers.

There are too many flowers and plants, so I can’t even refine them, so I can only spread them out and dry them. Fortunately, Huayu Palace is big enough, and Chen Xu also arranged for more than 100 palace maids who had been dismissed from the palace to help, so he roughly arranged this matter.

With the refining of new essential oils, Chen Xu's soap industry can finally start mass production. The daily chemical plant, which has been prepared in winter, purchased a large amount of animal oil for refining and storage in winter, and Chen Xu also prepared 200 kilograms of sesame sesame oil.

Now all the raw materials are ready. After saponification, add some essential oil and stir evenly, then put it in the mold to solidify.

The soap has now entered a normal production stage, with a production capacity of about 300 yuan a day.

Among them, the soap made of sesame oil is colorless and transparent, while the one made of animal oil is translucent milky yellow or milky white. Therefore, Chen Xu divided the two soaps into two levels. The pure transparent soap adds more essential oils, and adds some common pure natural pigments such as carmine, gardenia yellow, and bluegrass juice to make colorful high-quality soaps. The ordinary soap adds relatively less essential oils and pigments, and because it is not completely transparent, the two soaps can be distinguished very clearly from the appearance and senses.

After these colorful transparent soaps were produced, everyone they saw would be conquered by its beauty and fragrance. The gentle water, which was always calm and uncontested, could not withstand this extreme temptation. Each color was for a few pieces to be hidden in the bedroom. Ying Shiman and Meng Wan and other women were even more crazy. Meng Wan even asked Chen Xu not to buy these beautiful transparent soaps from the outside, and all of them were used by his family. After discussing this, the family decided that this elegant transparent soap would be placed in the Qinghe Shopping Mall for sale in the future and became another exclusive product in the Qinghe Shopping Mall.

Chen Xu naturally supported the decisions of several wives.

Although sesame seeds are now being promoted nationwide, the extremely low yield is destined to not produce too high, and it is mainly to meet the daily use of common people to cook.

Although tea tree oil has better effect than rapeseed oil, Chen Xu did not plan to use tea tree oil at all, because the yield of tea tree fruit is lower and it is more troublesome to collect it. If you don’t eat enough, it is even more impossible to make soap.

Although these soaps have been made for half a month, Chen Xu still has people who have been stockpiled in the warehouse of Huayu Palace. He plans to stock up more. When the commodity trading event is released in March, a soap, such as cheap and affordable toiletries, will be launched in one shot, and then it will continue to accumulate essential oils. After purchasing a large amount of black seeds in the autumn, it can start to promote cheaper soaps on a large scale, and perhaps also snow cream.

Because the snowflake cream has been basically successfully researched now. It is to filter the excess alkali water in the mixture after the saponification reaction with potassium hydroxide, and then add distilled water, glycerin, and flower and grass essential oil while it is hot to mix into a milkshake-like paste. Chen Xu has tried this paste. Applying it on the hands and face does moisturize the skin, and it also has the fragrance of flowers and plants. It is not much different from the Pechoin I applied when I was a child. The only difference is that if there is no strict reaction ratio and control the reaction time, the effect of the snowflake cream made is somewhat different. Especially, if the alkali water content is too high, it is not good to apply it on the skin for a long time. Therefore, Chen Xu asked a group of alchemy priests in the chemical laboratory to continue experimenting, striving to find the best reaction ratio and reaction time.

Half an hour later, Chen Xu took his three wives, two concubines and four daughters to the east gate of Xianyang Palace. Behind him, in addition to a group of guards and servants who had been following him all year round, there were three four-wheeled trucks, piled up on them with boxes of soap and soap boxes, as well as a batch of the latest prepared perfumes.

If these things are based on the market price, they are worth no less than 200,000 yuan, but in fact, for Chen Xu, most of the costs are labor costs and packaging costs. The real cost of materials is simply negligible, and it is estimated that there is no 20,000 yuan in total.

But the emperor would not know, because high-value items are not settled in this way, and there are production techniques that no one knows about. And even if the production methods of Chen Xu are spread, it would be more difficult to make a piece of soap without the guidance and cooperation of the chemistry laboratory's alchemist. Just preparing a process of sodium hydroxide with relatively high purity, without rich experience and strict technology, basically the end of the process of producing lime water mixed with various ingredients is a bucket of lime water.

Today is a beautiful and sunny day, and it is another Xunxu, Qin Shihuang is also a little bored. He and Jiancheng Hou Zhao Hai were drinking tea by the pond in the imperial garden to enjoy chess.

Hu Hai, wearing a brocade robe, stood beside him and watched with his hands hanging down.

The palace eunuchs stood ten feet away, and the entire imperial garden was full of hidden Xuanwu Guards, and the careful guardian of the First Emperor, who was unsheathed.

A leader of the imperial guard who was guarding the gate of the palace came hurriedly, tall and strong, and it was Zhou Bo, the commander of Qianniu Guard.

"What's the matter?" Looking at Zhou Bo, Hu Hai's face became much more serious in an instant, and he ordered Xuanwu Guard to step forward to stop Zhou Bo.

"Sir Binggong, Zuo Xiang and his family come to visit him. Please inform His Majesty!" Zhou Bo quickly bowed.

Hu Hai's eyes twitched slightly, nodded expressionlessly and said, "Wait for a moment, then turned around and walked to Qin Shihuang who was playing chess: "Father, the commander of Qianniu Guard came to report, Zuo Xiang and his family came to visit!"

"Oh, the young master is here, just right, please!" Qin Shihuang stood up excitedly, waved his sleeves and told the palace servants to prepare to greet him quickly.

"Haha, today's wind is sunny, and Zuo Xiang also seems to want to come to accompany His Majesty to enjoy the flowers in spring. It's lively now!" Zhao Hai also stood up and said with a smile.

"Of course, I was puzzled by the fact that the young master had four girls, but I found out the reason later. I rewarded some items and invited the young master to take a few little fairies to watch. Today, the young master must have come for this!" Qin Shihuang smiled happily.

"The story of the Seven Fairies is so rumoring now, which is really incredible. However, Zuo Xiang is familiar with the secrets of heaven, so there will be no mistakes. The weaving officer has also seen it. It is simply a magical craftsman with exquisite and complex structure. I heard that if the craftsmen continue to improve, they will definitely weave brocade like clouds. This is God bless me, Great Qin. Your Majesty has to assist you. My Great Qin will definitely be passed down forever..." Zhao Hai was very moved and flattered.

"Father, the left Xiangde Taiyi Immortal Lord teaches three volumes of heavenly books, and can make incredible things. Today I made a special trip to visit my father. I wonder if there are novel items as gifts!" Hu Hai stood beside him and said with a smile on his face.

"Well, you said it right. The young master will definitely not come empty-handed. I am also very curious about what it will be? Maybe... it is the same delicious food!" The First Emperor said with a smile.

"I guess it's food, it's Zuo Xiang's specialty!" Zhao Hai agreed and licked his mouth.
