Chapter 294 Soap

After celebrating with the soldiers, it was getting late.

After coming out of the military camp, Field made a daily tour of Fengqi Town.

Returning to the castle, Field slapped his thigh and suddenly asked the maid beside him: "You didn't throw away the pig pancreas or lard, right?"

"No." The maid Scissors responded immediately, "We have always followed your orders. The territory's resources are scarce, and every resource will be used in full. The lard has been stored, and the pig's waste will be used to feed giant wolves and spiders. Last night The newly obtained pigs have not yet been sent to the pasture.”

"That's good."

Field was relieved to hear that the lard was still there.

"Sir, lard is... uh, unhealthy. It does not suit your status. Just give it to the subjects and slaves. There is also a lot of radish seed oil and olive oil in the castle, which can be used for a long time."

Scissors carefully considered her tone. She actually wanted to say "something despicable."

After all, nobles generally would not touch even a little bit of black pigs in this era.

Scissors spared no effort to maintain the dignity of the nobles, and she would never allow her lord to be embarrassed by other lords.

"I don't want to eat it, it has other important uses."

Waving his hand, Field didn't think lard was bad, at least lard was very fragrant for cooking.

Of course, lard, or pig pancreas, has a very useful purpose, and that is making soap.

Scissors was confused: "If lard is not used for eating, what else can it be used for? Is it lubricating?"

"This counts as one. Anyway, please inform the kitchen and the pasture to carefully store the animal fat collected in the future." After the instructions, Field asked, "You usually use acacia to clean clothes, right?"

"Yes, sir, this thing is very scarce now, and there is only a little bit left in the castle. No one is selling it in the market in Fengqi Town. Many housewives are praying that the caravan can bring them some."

When Field goes out, the slaves or soldiers who accompany the army will bring some daily necessities to the people in the night collar. This is not a secret.

As long as it does not affect the march and is inspected, Field will not be harsh.

"Then it looks like soap will be a big help to them."

"Soap?" Scissors said this unfamiliar word unfamiliarly.

"That's right, something that can be used to wash clothes or take a bath. It's better than soap locust. It can deeply clean dirt and bring fragrance." Field snapped his fingers happily, "Since this thing is very scarce, then Just in time to come in handy.”

I was so busy improving my strength that I actually forgot about this treasure.

"Is there really such a magical thing?" Scissors covered her mouth in surprise, "The housewives of Fengqi Town will love you to death."

"Uh... If you love it so much, I won't use it. I can't bear it."

Field wiped away the cold sweat and led those old women at night, all of whom could run horses on their shoulders.

"It just so happens that Crock's statistics are almost finished. It's time for him to go to the industrial area to hone his skills. Let him be in charge of this soap project."

Cun Guan was one of the first people to follow Ye Mu Ling, so their loyalty was greatly guaranteed.

Early the next morning, Field took the crock pot and ten newly recruited workers to the newly opened area of ​​​​the industrial zone.

Unlike the lumberyard or the brickyard, the wolf flag was hoisted here and four soldiers were on duty.

"This technology needs to be kept secret, absolutely confidential."

Soap is easy to make and therefore easy to hack and leak.

Field glanced at the faces of everyone present and said in a low voice: "I have paid you enough, don't let me down. From now on, none of you are allowed to get drunk or gamble. Crock, you are here for now. Be a supervisor and supervise.”

"Yes, sir."

Everyone was sweating nervously, like quails.

When Field selects workers, he also specifically selects people who are honest and have a good lifestyle.

"Apart from not leaking secrets, don't worry about anything else. Come here and I'll teach you what to do."

"Pour water into the ash, as long as it can cover the ash."

You only need two things to make soap, oil and alkali.

It would be much more convenient to have limestone, but this is the most common material. Field has been searching hard until now after coming to the back of the night, but he has not been able to find it, and the cement plan has also been stalled.

You must know that limestone is one of the most widely distributed minerals, and it would be shameful to find it.

"After stirring, filter."

Pour the plant ash water into a pot wrapped in linen, Field said: "This is low-concentration alkaline water, but it is far from the production requirements. It needs to be heated to evaporate the water."

"Finally, pour the heated fat and alkaline water into the large vat and stir, cool and then cut, and it's done."

After Field finished speaking, he asked: "Is it very simple?"

Everyone nodded.

"Yes, sir, but it is difficult for ordinary people to connect the two." Crock responded.

In fact, Field also learned it from reading novels in his previous life.

At the beginning, he was still thinking about why the guy in the book was thinking about making soap when he traveled through time.

In fact, it is because of simplicity. The ashes from burning wheat straw and pig waste are two worthless things, but they can be used to create huge profits.

"That's right, so keep it a secret."

Field snapped his fingers happily: "Don't worry about failure. Failure is inevitable when you first try. Report to me after you make the finished product, and I will give you coins as a reward."

"It is our honor to serve you."

Everyone immediately saluted.

For the next thing, Field just needs to wait patiently.

After leaving the industrial area, Field came to the slave shed.

Because of the slave rebellion before, the slave shed has set up a watchtower, which looks like a prison, and slave fights are almost extinct now.

"Sister, I..." Hei Yu raised his head timidly and glanced at his sister with his hands on his hips, "I'm going to take care of the garden for the Baron."

"Hehe, no wonder you suddenly got such a good job, you actually went to trade with the nobles behind my back!"

"I..."

Hei Yu wanted to cry. She worked hard these two days. The castle maid promised her that as long as she cleaned the garden, she would give her delicious white bread. She also thought about sharing it with her sister.

Unexpectedly, her sister found out about her job.

Bai Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that this will kill you? What did he do to you? Take off your clothes, I want to check."

"Ah?" Hei Yu was stunned and subconsciously covered his tattered clothes. "I really didn't do anything. The Baron is a good man."

Hei Yu didn't understand why his sister would react so strongly when he just reported the rebellion to the lord.

"What do you know! It's all an illusion, idiot, idiot!"

Bai Yu threw his sister to the ground and punched her in the face: "Our parents were killed by the nobles. I didn't dare to tell you. You idiot, you dared to expose it to the nobles."
