Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 223 Research
On the night of "violating the que", Fang Jun suffered serious injuries.It was simply a flesh wound, although the viscera was damaged, it was not serious. The imperial physician in the uterus came to check the pulse every day, and rewarded various precious medicinal materials every day. In addition, Fang Jun was old and had excellent physique, so he recovered quickly.

Ever since the crown prince Li Chengqian came here once and was made dizzy by Fang Jun's chicken soup for the soul, Fang Jun hid in the Zhuangzi, never leaving the gate.

But he is not a leisurely person, he is very bored, so he starts to play with various "inventions" to contribute to the scientific research of the Datang Empire...

It was a beautiful spring day, and Fang Jun was in the backyard, leading a group of "apprentices" to cook oil in a pot.

That's right, he planned to spend it with "lard"...

I did this "lard" experiment when I was in school, but it was too long ago, it was just for fun at the time, and I never touched it again, so I almost forgot about it, but Fang Jun always felt that this Lard oil has many uses besides making soap.

So today I regained the "refining business", and I plan to try whether "touching the scene to create emotion" will bring back some memories.

Of course, with Fang Ershao's current status and rank, when he could use his mouth to instruct his servants, he would never do it himself...

Set up the pot, put it on the fire, and start refining lard.

Then take quicklime, dissolve water to make lime slurry, and then pour baking soda into it. Since Fang Jun first made this thing, with the increase in soap production, there are quite a lot of stocks.

The messy things were added to the pot. The lard in the pot had already started to react, and the oily yellow soap on the top layer gradually solidified.

?Lard soap that has not been processed in any way will have an oily smell. Even if the soap is finished, no one wants to use it to make the whole body smell of lard.

So although the sales of soap are good recently, because it is really easy to use, there are also many criticisms. After all, only the rich and the rich can afford this thing. These human loves are all about quality, and most of them dislike the taste of this stuff.

??? The servant picks out the pure soap that has not yet completely solidified, and skims the largest part, and adds the pre-prepared rouge powder and stirs it to stand still.

This can be regarded as an improvement, but it was not developed by Fang Jun, but by the craftsmen in the workshop.In fact, the reason is very simple. Since it smells like lard, why not add something else to cover up the smell?

It was a very simple idea, a very simple process, but Fang Jun rewarded the craftsman who proposed this idea with ten pennies, doubling his monthly salary.

This is a horse bone bought with a thousand dollars, and it is for other craftsmen to see. As long as you can create value, I will not hesitate to reward you!
This trick is quite effective. Recently, in all the workshops of the Fang family, the craftsmen seem to have been beaten to death, and they don't work hard anymore. No matter making soap or anything else, they always think about whether they can improve the craftsmanship or not. Or innovative products.

The result, of course, is that the cost has increased greatly, but the output has declined.

But Fang Jun is not only not annoyed, he is even happy to see the result.

There is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in this era, but there is a lack of flexible minds and awareness of change.

Being complacent is the biggest problem of Chinese people.

Fang Jun believes that as long as the innovative consciousness of these craftsmen is aroused, they will definitely give him a big surprise.

Therefore, he also left a back door for the craftsmen...

Soap with rouge will become fragrant, which is already considered low-quality soap. If raw materials such as lard or vegetable oil are further purified, and then the essence extracted from flower petals is added, it will be authentic soap.

However, this step is still for the craftsmen to discover, it is a homework problem...

?After making soap, there is still some cloudy soap and alkaline waste liquid in the bottom of the pot.

According to the previous process, soap making ends here, and these things have to be thrown away.

But Fang Jun knows that these "waste" are actually valuable things, but he has forgotten what ingredients are in them, how can he make other things...

Fang Jun stopped the servant from pouring out the waste in the pot, touched his chin, looked at the contents of the pot, and tried his best to discuss the situation in the laboratory...

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the voice of a woman talking.

The craftsmen and servants looked around in amazement.

This courtyard is almost a "forbidden place" in the village. Except for craftsmen and a few servants, they are not allowed to get close because there are too many "secret recipes". If they are leaked, the products that the Fang family relies on to make money will be ruined up...

The craftsmen and servants were relieved when they saw the person who appeared at the door.

Wu Meiniang is Erlang's concubine. In Erlang's place, there is no secret about Wu Meiniang at all. I have never seen such a big business at the wharf entrusted to this Wu lady, completely letting go?Moreover, Wu Meiniang's prestige in the Zhuangzi is really unfounded. No one is unconvinced by her wrist.

As for the other... Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, then there is no problem.

This is the future mistress!

Is it necessary to keep her a secret?
Besides, in recent days, Princess Gao Yang came to the village every three days, and everyone was used to it, so they hurriedly came forward to salute, saying: "I have seen Your Highness the Princess!"

Princess Gao Yang nodded her head slightly, her face was pleasant, and her eyes turned to Fang Jun, but she was slightly focused.

Fang Jun was thinking with his eyes closed, without even looking at her.

Princess Gao Yang secretly gritted her silver teeth, slightly annoyed.

Ben Gong condescended to come to visit you, how dare you put on airs with me?

Did you think that after saving Bengong once, Bengong would have to put up with you?
Tsundere temper flared up, puffed up her face, and said displeasedly: "Fang Jun, why didn't you salute me when you saw me?"

Fang Jun didn't even turn his head. The long-term memories in his mind had gradually formed a little outline. It was the most critical time, and he remembered it just a little bit. How could he interrupt his train of thought?

Memory is the most elusive thing. If it is interrupted this time, it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted. It is not certain when the next time I think of it, even if I can't remember it anymore, it is not impossible.

What is the most precious thing to him?

Naturally, those memories from the 21st century!
Seeing that Fang Jun still ignored her, Princess Gao Yang became furious, bit her lip, and went to teach this bastard a lesson!

Wu Meiniang hurriedly grabbed Princess Gao Yang, quietly leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Wait a minute, Your Highness, Erlang... seems to be thinking about something important?"

She even Fang Jun's "extraordinary talent" has incredible insights into many novel things, whether it is soap or glass, it is simply turning stones into gold and turning decay into magic!So whenever Fang Jun was thinking, Wu Meiniang always stood quietly by the side, not daring to disturb him.

Princess Gaoyang is not angry, why?

If you think about something, you can treat me as nothing?You are so beautiful!
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Fang Jun's "Aww" voice, which made her face change color in fright, thinking that Fang Jun was annoyed...

But Fang Jun said in a very fast tone: "Brine, is there any brine in Zhuangzi?"

The craftsmen looked at each other, how did they know this?

Wu Meiniang heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "There is a tofu shop in Zhuangzi, it should be possible."

A servant immediately said: "I'll get it!" Fei Ye ran to the tofu shop.

Fang Jun scolded: "You are frizzy, I haven't finished talking yet!"

But the servant had already gone far away, so a craftsman came up to him and said with a smile, "If Erlang needs anything else, the little one can find it."

Everyone really admires Fang Jun's ability to turn decay into magic. He always uses some common and inconspicuous things, burns them, and burns out a magical thing...

Fang Jun was completely in a state of extreme excitement, and he had no time to pay attention to Princess Gaoyang behind him!

Princess Gao Yang had a pretty face and cursed, but she just stood obediently, not daring to disturb Fang Jun.

That's how people are, if you don't care, then you can do whatever you want; but if you care, you will worry about his emotions, and you will bow your head...

Fang Jun first asked his servant to make a simple filtering device. This thing is very simple. Put gravel, fine sand, and charcoal of different sizes into water to wash it. After washing, Fang Jun instructed the servant Take out a jar with a thin bamboo tube, spread cotton cloth on the bottom of the jar, put a layer of large pieces of charcoal, another layer of cloth and then small pieces of charcoal, followed by fine sand, small pieces of pebbles, and large pieces of pebbles , a full yard of five or six layers, covering more than half of the jar, the rough filter is complete.The liquid is poured into the altar, and then flows out from the bamboo tube at the bottom of the altar, which can play a filtering effect.

The best filtering effect is of course activated carbon, but how can Fang Jun make it with these two knives?

　I fell asleep watching the game, and woke up at two in the morning, feeling a little confused and irritable. I went out and yelled a few times in the yard, causing the dogs in the village to bark. I felt refreshed and came back to code!
