Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 119 This is too profitable

Yun Xi was unaware of Yun Fang's little thoughts. She was thinking that she would teach Yun Fang and Yun Yan the process of making soap and perfumed soap later. That way, when the workshop was built in the future, she would not have to personally guide the workers in the production process.

Seeing that Yun Fang took people out to pick flowers, Yun Yan also wanted to take people to cut bamboo, but was stopped by Yun Xi.

"Brother, you can ask someone to cut the bamboo, and you can just help me make soap at home today."

Yun Yan agreed quickly.

Then, the brother and sister started making soap.

Xi was also curious about how the soap was made and helped out.

At first, I felt so heartbroken when I saw Yun Xi adding the boiled lard into the wood ash solution and stirring it.

Yun Xi laughed, "We can use pig offal to make soap in the future, but we want to make soap here, so lard is better."

Xi waved her hand, "Well, don't worry about me, just do what you have to do."

Yun Xi saw that although her mother said so, she could tell from her frown that she was still worried about Lard.

So, she began to calculate the cost for Xi, "Mother, although this lard is precious, it costs 45 coins per pound. But you should know that the soap and scented soap made from it are even more expensive. A piece of soap can be sold for at least 200 coins, and a small piece of scented soap is even more expensive, at least one or two taels of silver."

Xi's eyes widened, "So expensive?"

"Yes." Yun Xi nodded.

Then she asked, "Do you know how many bars of soap and scented soap you can make from one pound of lard?"

Xi shook her head.

Yun Xi said, "One pound of pig fat can produce one pound of lard, and one pound of lard can make nearly five pounds of soap or scented soap. And nearly five pounds of soap or scented soap can be cut into at least 20 pieces."

"Mother, think about it, how much money can you make from one pound of lard?"

This time, not only Xi was surprised, but Yun Yan also opened his mouth wide.

"Little sister, this is too much money."

"Yes, this is a highly profitable industry. So I said, with such a workshop, we don't have to worry about how many people we can support. And the life of the whole village will be better."

Xi and Yun Yan both nodded excitedly.

"Little sister, perfumed soap makes more money than soap, so let's make more perfumed soap."

Yun Xi smiled and said, "I also want to make more soaps, but soaps need spices. So we have to solve this problem first."

Xi and Yun Yan both thought this was true.

"When the time comes, ask more people to go out and pick flowers. There are fewer flowers in winter, but there are many flowers in spring, summer and autumn." Yun Xi nodded slightly, agreeing with Xi's words.

However, she thought that it would be best if she could grow flowers at home, so that she wouldn't have to go all over the mountains to look for flowers. And if she grew flowers herself, she would have a guaranteed supply.

After hearing Yunxi say that this soap was so profitable, Xi and Yunyan were very obedient and strictly followed Yunxi's instructions throughout the whole process.

Yun Yan took on all the mixing work, while Yun Xi directed the work from the side.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yun Xi asked Yun Yan to divide it into two portions, one to add the water soaked with rosemary, and the other to add nothing, and then continue stirring.

When the liquid becomes viscous, pour it back into the bamboo tube.

After the bamboo tube is assembled, the next step is to wait for it to take shape. After a day or two, the viscous liquid in the mold will undergo a chemical reaction, and then it is done.

Xi and Yun Yan both thought that it would take shape soon, and after putting everything into the bamboo tube, they stared at the tube intently.

Yun Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, second brother, okay, just leave it alone for now. It will take two days to heal. Let's open it and see in two days."
