Chapter 42: The biggest scam in history (2)

The development of new things is accompanied by the demise of old things.

There is no problem with this sentence itself. The problem is that Su Yanger, who is addicted to Ming Creation, forgot about the development period of new things. It may be a day, a year, or a few decades, and old things will always exist during this period.

The soap balls in Yangbao's mouth are actually a mixture of soap acacia oil and spices that were first seen during the weekend of the Emperor's reign. Its production method is circulated in the medicine spectrum and is classified into several categories. However, there are only two major categories of basic materials. One is soap acacia mixed dough wood ash and spices, and the second is soap acacia mixed oil wood ash and spices.

For example, the piece of soap that Su Yanger used in Tangyin Su Mansion with a strange fragrance every day is the second type of soap ball. Of course, she didn't know about these. She just called it pancreatic cervix according to her inherent impression.

It’s not impossible for her to call this, but for those who were engaged in soap ball manufacturing in Song Shi, these are two kinds of things.

The two are similar in basic components, both of which are saponification reactions of fatty acids and subsequently added wood ash alkali agent.

But the cost is incomparable. The cost of soap balls is far more than that of earthen sap. The spices used for the best craftsmanship of fragrant sap are single spices, such as finely ground into powdered petals and steamed dew. The soap balls use mixed spices, which are made of a variety of flavors and powder formulas. In an era when plant flavors are not extracted, the use of spices is extremely luxurious.

This is why Su Yanger was shocked when using soap balls when taking a bath.

Because this thing is not as low-level as described in later novels, on the contrary, the workmanship and formula of the real soap balls were lost during the Republic of China. The complex and cumbersome workmanship and the secret spice formula are the true face of the soap balls.

Of course, in terms of practicality, they are definitely not as good as later industrial soaps. Industrial soaps are chemical products further developed on their basis, with stronger detergent ability and more durable soap bodies, and the most important thing is the era in which it appeared.

The exhibition of industrial soap was obtained after the industrial revolution was launched in the late 18th century, and the cost of low-cost sodium carbonate was obtained. At the same time, people's purchasing power was generally improved. It was not until the 19th century that it was fully popularized in the West, replacing soil soaps from all over the world.

In terms of supply, the soap balls are supplied to big dogs like Su Yanger, and when big dogs like her buy soap balls, they often buy them at one place; because at this time, the soap balls produced in each soap ball workshop have different tastes, their basic formulas are the same, but their respective spice formulas are different.

Can ordinary people in the Northern Song Dynasty have corresponding purchasing power?

The answer is no, it is not difficult, soap balls only have a small supply area.

A small number of people occupy most of their property, which is a reality since the emergence of privatization in ancient times.

This is why, in addition to the necessary daily necessities industry, high-end industries always flourished more than low-end industries in ancient times.

The rich will buy it, while ordinary people will save as much as possible. When they ensure survival, they will buy nothing.

It is precisely because the rich pay attention to it that the soap ball industry and spice formulas are complicated.

So do these alternative raw materials prices that Su Yanger sees from the novel have advantages?

This is an advantage. She simply wants to imitate the protagonists in the novel and use the fragrances brought by rouge to cover up the smell of rough lard soap, which is consistent with the original intention of soap practitioners to use mixed spices at this time.

Moreover, the chemical formula of modern soaps produces larger than that of soap balls.

But the problem is that after the Centennial Exhibition, it is much more refined and complicated than her practice.

It took a century to completely overwhelm the output and the quality.

Unfortunately, Su Yanger doesn't understand these things. She is now addicted to the memories of later time travel novels.

The time travelers in the novel brought her great spiritual encouragement.

"When it is done, take them to the market and sell them. They will definitely sell well in the whole county, no, it will sell well in the whole country!"

She dreams of wealth and is looking forward to Yang Bao's return.

When she thought that no matter what the soap ball was, she would definitely not be as good as her modern soap.

"Here I'm back!"

Su Yang'er sat for a while, and finally there was movement in the narrow alley, but when she stood up, she felt disappointed again.

"So it's Lao Wang..."

But he saw that Lao Wang and others had been out for a long time finally came back. Several servants were carrying wooden barrels, wooden basins, wooden beds and other items behind him. When Lao Wang saw Su Yanger staying honestly in the yard, he couldn't help but smile with relief, and then directed everyone to move the furniture into the house in a classified manner.

Su Yanger also disagrees with him when she sees her. She has more important things to do now.

"Buying so many things again, and it costs a lot of money!"

She had obviously fallen into the eyes of money at this moment and was a little restless.

Seeing that she was anxious when she saw that she was worried, Xiaoling couldn't help but wonder: "Little Madam, are you uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine... Why haven't Yang Bao come back yet?"

Seeing Su Yanger looking forward, Xiaoling silently lowered her head, as if she was a little unhappy.

The two of them lived like this for a long time, and finally, there was another movement in the alley.

But when he saw Yang Bao and others walking into the door with a package in the jar, Su Yanger immediately got up and said, "Let's go!"

After saying that, she took a secret glance. Uncle Wang, who was in charge of the living room, saw that he did not pay attention to his side, and then whispered: "Go to the kitchen."

Xiaoling, who was following her, saw that she was so anxious, glared at Yang Bao fiercely. Then everyone walked quietly to the kitchen under Su Yang'er's leadership. On the way, Yang Bao whispered to Xiaoling: "Why are you angry?"

Xiaoling ignored him until everyone entered the kitchen and put down the things. Su Yanger smiled and said, "Now listen to my instructions, you go and fetch water to wash the carbon, wash it clean, soak it for a while if it doesn't work; go and wash these stones; and you, give me the jar."

The two servants looked at each other after hearing this, obviously not knowing what she was trying to do, but they still started to move.

But Yang Bao held the utensils she brought as she ordered and refused to let go, and said with a smile: "Miss, you don't know. I spent a lot of effort to get these things for you. When I pierced the two jars you wanted, I almost injured my hand."

When Su Yanger heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly and said, "Put down the jar first, I will compensate you!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Yang Bao smiled and put down the jar when he heard this.

Xiaoling could no longer watch and said with a sour air: "What do you want the little lady to compensate you?"

Seeing this scene, Su Yanger couldn't help but be stunned. She obviously didn't expect that this little girl had the jealous attribute.

Fortunately, Yang Bao responded in time: "My lady, it was the last time I mentioned it to you when I was in Tangyin."

"When I was in Tangyin?" Su Yang'er seemed to be unable to remember for a moment.

Seeing this, Yang Bao said seriously: "I still want to ask you to redeem Xiaoling's freedom after making enough money."

When Xiaoling heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she lowered her head with shame and joy.

"So this is the matter..." Su Yanger suddenly realized her heart, looked at Xiaoling, and thought to herself: "Making money is the most important thing now. Yang Bao looks like a capable person. He will have to rely on him to cook soap for me later!"

Thinking of this, Su Yanger said quietly: "Let's talk about it when you have money, I don't want to leave Xiaoling."

Although it was a similar answer to the last time, her tone was obviously much better this time

Yang Bao nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay!"

After saying that, he started to communicate with Xiaoling again.

Seeing the success of this "adulterator**", Su Yanger naturally couldn't feel much better.

After all, nothing unexpected happens. She may have been a single dog in her life, so she doesn't want to make fun of the game.

Now even the closest women are getting closer and closer to other men.

But now she has no time to care about these things, making more money is the most important thing.

Her eyes were then on the two servants who were squatting on the ground with a look of inexplicable face and soaking carbon stones.
