Chapter 120 Soap Factory Opening

Most of the onlookers live in the county town, and there are very few people in the village. First, it is too far away, and basically they will not come to the county town for nothing.

The second is that now is the last critical moment of rushing to plant. No matter how uncomfortable the body is, we have to wait until after the busy farming season. Farmers rely on the weather for their food. After this best time, the production will really decrease in the future.

The three-month free clinic was a good thing that had never happened before. Dr. Chen and Dr. Zhang were surrounded, and the nurses had to maintain order.

If there is a good thing, it is natural to tell relatives and friends, so everyone rushes to tell each other. In fact, the Yamen has already publicized it.

Yejiacun

Village head Ye took advantage of the break at noon to call the villagers to the open space for a meeting.

Before, the yamen sent someone to publicize that the hospital had a free consultation period of three months. The village head was afraid that the villagers would not understand, so he specially held a meeting. He couldn't hold back the county magistrate, and wanted to do everything well so as not to be blamed.

Village Chief Ye: "Everyone has worked hard during the busy farming period. The county magistrate understands everyone's difficulty, and specifically told me to tell everyone that if you feel uncomfortable, you can go to the hospital to have a look. Don’t worry about collecting money, if there is a serious problem, you must prescribe the medicine, the hospital only charges the cost price, if you don’t believe it, you can take the prescription and go to other places to get the medicine.”

"Also, if you have intractable diseases, don't take medicine blindly. You must see a doctor. You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't take medicine indiscriminately. Don't believe in any folk remedies sold on the street. They are all deceitful. , Your Excellency said that if you are sick, you should be cured, don’t believe in gods and ghosts, but believe in science, understand?”

Well, although the village chief himself doesn't know what science means, since the county magistrate said it, it must be right.

Ye Rong's mother retorted: "That's not right, village head, my fat grandson was rescued by gods. At that time, Wen Po said that my daughter-in-law and fat grandson were hopeless. One dead body and two lives were saved by gods. There are gods in this world."

Ye Rong kept nodding beside him: "Village Chief, it is absolutely true that my wife and son were saved by gods. If you don't believe me, ask my wife, she really saw gods at that time."

Thinking of his daughter-in-law's dystocia that day, Ye Rong still had lingering fears. Thanks to the immortals, otherwise he would have left this world with his wife and children.

Ye Rong's daughter-in-law smiled and said while holding her well-behaved son: "Really, I thought I was going to die at the time. In a daze, the god told me that you must be strong to keep the child. I was I don’t think about anything, I just want to give birth to the child, fortunately the gods have come, otherwise I would be separated from my father-in-law.”

The fact that Ye Rong's daughter-in-law was rescued by the gods was spread throughout the village by Ye Rong's mother that day, causing everyone in the village to know that some acquaintances came to their house specially to see if they were rescued by the gods What kind of children are they.

If Li Mo was here, he would definitely feel ashamed, wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in, the slap in the face was really fast, and it was very loud, what do you mean hitting yourself in the foot with a stone, that's it.

It often takes ten or even hundreds of lies to cover one lie, and this is a big game.

A certain villager said enviously: "Your family will definitely be prosperous in the future. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Even gods can come down to save you."

Ye Rong's mother stood in the crowd with a frightened expression on her face: "I'm not bragging. Since my grandson was born, our family's life has become better and better. From now on, my grandson will definitely be the number one scholar. Don't believe me! Just wait and see."

Talking like this, you deserve as much beating as you want.

But in exchange for the envy of more people, why didn't I meet the gods?Is my sincerity not enough, no, I will burn incense and worship Buddha when I go back next time, and pray for the blessings of the gods.

Village Chief Ye is unhappy, aren't you finding fault?I'm telling you not to believe in gods and ghosts, but you just tell me that gods saved you, what does that mean, why not?
Village head Ye: "Where are the gods? If there were any gods, everyone wouldn't get sick."

In fact, Village Chief Ye still believes in gods in his heart, but the county magistrate said, don’t believe in any monsters and ghosts, but believe in medicine. If you are sick, it doesn’t mean that you will be cured after worshiping the gods and reading Buddhist scriptures. You must see a doctor. To take medicine, we must fully cooperate with the treatment, so that the medicine can cure the disease.

When Village Chief Ye said this, the villagers immediately became a sensation. Didn’t you overthrow the beliefs of thousands of years? So, a good village meeting turned into a meeting to criticize the village chief. Worthless, shit doesn't make sense.

Village Chief Ye is simply hopeless. If I had known, I would not have held this meeting. What are you doing? Anyway, I am not the one who is sick. You don’t cherish your own life, so I don’t care what you are doing.

In the end, he could only use his identity as the village chief to suppress the anger of the people, and said angrily: "Stop talking about the gods, now let's talk about the hospital, the three-month free clinic, you can go to see it if you want, and stay at home if you don't want to see it." , no one cares about you when you die.”

"Village chief, you are right, why are you losing your temper?" Someone felt uncomfortable and insisted on asking.

Village head Ye stared at me: "Which eye of yours saw me lose my temper? Now we are talking about the hospital. If you miss these three months, you will have to pay for it in the future. Everyone is not rich, so save as much as you can." a little."

The villagers murmured disdainfully: "You said you weren't angry, how dark is that face?"

Fortunately, some people are giving the village head a lot of face.

Villager A: "Village chief, so what the yamen servants came to say that day is true?"

Village Chief Ye: "Of course it's true. How could the county magistrate lie? If you really don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself after finishing your farm work in a few days."

"My lord, I testify that it is true that the hospital does not charge fees. I just came back from the hospital. Oh, I am an old bone. I thought this life would be like this. I never thought of going to the hospital. We poor people have money there." Go and see, just think about getting through it, if you can't make it through, go see the child's father, these years have been hard."

It was an elderly lady who was speaking. She just came back from the outside and was standing on the far side at the moment.

The aunt is a miserable person, widowed at a young age, and raised her son by herself as a father and mother.

But the root of the disease that fell when she was young has been with her for most of her life. In the past, her family was poor and she had no money to see a doctor. moon.

Now the family's conditions are a little better, but in fact, I don't have any savings, but I don't go hungry like before.

The filial son and daughter-in-law said they would send her to a medical clinic, but the frugal old man would not be willing to do so.

She knows her body, even if she sells all the land in her family, it will not be enough. When she was young, she was too short. The poor dare not get sick at all. Let it be like this in this life, and be reincarnated as a child of a rich family in the next life.

But last night, the pain was so unbearable that her son and daughter-in-law insisted on taking her to the hospital, saying that the free clinic in the hospital did not cost money, so she went.

Someone really went to see the doctor, and everyone gathered around, asking questions non-stop.

The old lady may have improved her mood because of her better health, so she patiently answered everyone: "I really don't charge money, but the county magistrate showed me it in person. She said I have a waist problem, and she helped me. What kind of massage did you do, otherwise I would not be able to stand here and talk to you now.

In addition, when my son was born, the confinement period was not done well, and the rheumatism was very serious.You can see if I have any medicine in my hand, and I only spent a total of [-] Wen, I can't believe it, it's still a five-day supply. "

"No way, the county magistrate will still see a doctor?"

The aunt's face shared honor and disgrace: "My lord will definitely see a doctor, what else can the county magistrate not know."

"Impossible, it's only twenty Wen."

"No, I'm going too."

"I'll go after these two days when I finish my work."

What is the best publicity, this is it. The village chief talked for a long time and no one believed it. The old lady brought the medicine directly, and everyone believed it. The Songjiang County Hospital is really cheap.

This kind of thing happens in every village, but there are no gods in their village, and people who already have diseases can't wait to rush to the hospital.

Li Mo didn't know anything about the villagers' discussions. She stayed in the hospital for two days, and the first two days were the busiest with the most people.

Dr. Zhang and Dr. Chen have to separate the day shift and the night shift, and the two of them are simply too busy.

Now Dr. Chen is on the day shift and Dr. Zhang is on the night shift.

But Dr. Zhang often came over during the day and stayed for a long time. He said that Dr. Chen was too busy alone, and he was not so tired at night, and there were fewer people at night.

The equipment of the soap factory has been configured, and Li Mo has to change positions again.

Looking at a certain uncle who was following him like a shadow, Li Mo said in a very aggressive tone, "His Royal Highness, I am going to the soap factory now, please stop following me, please."

On the opening day of the hospital, King Xuan did not follow because there were too many people.

For the next two days, when Li Mo was in the free clinic, he stayed in the study next door and didn't bother Li Mo.

King Xuan: "You are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge."

During this period of time, he was Li Mo's partner training every night, and Li Mo's kung fu has improved rapidly.

What's more, every time Li Mo practiced, all the yamen servants came to watch.

In order to prevent these people from disturbing His Royal Highness Xuan Wang, Dong Zhe took the initiative to teach the servants how to practice martial arts.

But their good mood was exchanged for the contempt of the servants.

"Huaquan embroidered legs."

"It's better to be taught by an adult, and there are not so many tricks."

"Fashion, fancy but not useful."

Chun Fan was furious: "You actually said that my martial art is useless, are you mistaken?"

Chunfan's martial arts is not weak, but in order to look handsome, he added a lot of unnecessary movements in the teaching process, which makes people feel like a show.

Zhou Xing'er was very disdainful: "Cut, you are not putting on airs or anything. You just picked up the knife and chopped it. You have been gesturing here for a long time. Who are you showing it to, old man."

Chun Fan: "Old woman, what did you say, believe it or not, I will beat you up now."

Zhou Xing'er swung the knife horizontally: "Old man, you want to fight, come on, whoever is afraid of whom."

No matter what, Chunfan is still a man, and he is a man who has experienced a lot of troubles. He will not easily start a fight with a girl, and she is still a girl who is much younger than him.

But Zhou Xing'er is really annoying, he is an old man, he is not old, he is only 20 years old.

Chun Fan pointed at Zhou Xing'er with the sword in his hand, "I'll make you cry now."

Zhou Xing'er: "I don't know who is beating and who is crying. Don't be too arrogant."

The war was about to break out, Dong Zhe grabbed Chun Fan and said, "What are you doing, kid, bullying even a girl."

Chun Fan: "Don't pull me, I will beat her to tears today."

People who don't listen to persuasion generally don't end well.

In the end, Chunfan was beaten to death, and his clothes were almost ripped off.

Fighting alone, none of the ten Zhou Xing'er could be Chunfan's opponent, and Zhou Xingji was defeated by Chunfan's hand before reaching five moves.

But how could the female yamen servants watch their sisters being bullied by others, since one person can't beat him, then let's all do it together, group beating, the kind of maiming.

All the female yamen servants together are no match for Chunfan, so the male yamen servants can't sit idly by at this time.

So fighting alone turned into a gang fight, a one-sided gang fight.

Xia Chen, Qiu Yu, and Dong Zhe joined the battle one after another. The red-eyed yamen servants didn't care so much, they beat whoever came up.

Group fights do not require martial arts, but rely on one's own flexibility and brute force, as well as everyone's cooperation.

Li Mo happily watched the one-sided group fight, and said sarcastically, "His Royal Highness Xuan, look at what you brought here are all talents."

King Xuan ignored the life and death of his subordinates: "It's also good to exercise your muscles and bones."

Anyway, the yamen servants were sweating profusely that night, one word: cool.

Back to the story.

Li Mo: "My lord, you really can't go with this soap factory anymore, the girls are very afraid of meeting strange men."

King Xuan has been to a clothing factory and a cosmetics factory. There are men and women in it, but no one cares about his appearance as a fairy. Everyone only cares about the work in hand and hurry up to finish it.

Through these few days of contact, King Xuan admired Li Mo very much. I really don't know how this little man came up with so many ways to get rich.

And most of the workers in the factory are women.

It seems that the woman Zhou Xing'er mentioned a few days ago can also hold up for a long time, not just talking nonsense.

No matter the cosmetics factory or the clothing factory, there are men, some deliver goods, and some work in the factory. The calm faces of the big girls and daughter-in-laws show that they are used to it, and I have never heard of anyone who is afraid of seeing strange men.

"Why are you afraid of meeting strange men?" King Xuan was puzzled.

"Because they are so beautiful, they are afraid of being missed by men." Li Mo didn't want to answer his question, so she just found a reason to stop it.

King Xuan: "This king has never seen what kind of woman."

Li Mo resolutely refused to let King Xuan follow. The girls finally had the courage to survive. Being so frightened by King Xuan and returning to the original point, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss.

King Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "It's fine if you don't let me follow, tell me how to make ice cubes."

There are also ice cubes in the capital, but they are all stored in winter, and only the rich can afford them.

But it's different in Songjiang County. In the night market outside, as long as it sells food, there will be ice cubes at every stall. Even the study room, cafeteria, and council hall in the yamen have ice cubes.

When going to bed at night, ice cubes are placed in the room one by one.

Such a valuable thing in the capital seems to be worthless in Songjiang County.

Li Mo did it behind King Xuan's back. He wanted to make a small fortune secretly, but he was caught by King Xuan.

Li Mo looked at King Xuan with a half-smile: "King Xuan, how can there be such a shameless person like you in the world, who wants to be a white wolf with empty hands."

King Xuan said blankly: "This is a condition of exchange."

Li Mo's face froze: "So I have to thank you, should I also thank your ancestors?"

King Xuan: "No need to thank them, I will continue to follow."

Li Mo stretched out his hand to stop him: "King Xuan, can you tell me clearly, what is the purpose of your coming to Songjiang County? You have been following me for several days. When will you leave? Can you not hinder me?"

King Xuan looked at her seriously: "Tell me how those huge pits in Yueyun Mountain came to be, and I will leave."

It's this question again, Li Mo is already tired and doesn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Follow if you like." Li Mo shook him off and left.

The girls had already assembled at the soap factory, and when they saw Li Mo coming in, they instinctively saluted: "My lord."

But when they saw King Xuan following him, the girls panicked, overwhelmed and terrified.

Li Mo glared at King Xuan angrily, and King Xuan walked out very tactfully.

He said to Dong Zhe who was standing outside: "These girls have problems, check to see if they came down from Yueyun Mountain."

"Yes."

Li Mo: "The long-awaited soap factory has finally ushered in the opening day. From now on, you are the employees of the soap factory. Here, you rely on your work to eat, and the more you work, the more you get..."

In order to reassure the girls, all the servants in the soap factory are female yamen servants, and even the back cooks are aunts.

The scale of this soap factory is not small, and it is impossible for it to develop with such a small number of people in the future. I hope that the girls will get out of the shadows as soon as possible and truly integrate into society.

When Li Mo came to the production workshop, everything was ready, lard, caustic soda, salt, water, and a pot for cooking materials.

Li Mo wants to teach them by hand.

Water is added to the pot, and caustic soda is added at the same time.After the alkali is completely dissolved, add the oil, continue to heat and stir constantly.

After the materials in the pot are boiled, switch to low heat and continue heating, and keep stirring to fully saponify the oil.

This process takes a long time, even a whole day.

The higher fatty acid sodium generated in the process is the main component of soap.

After the saponification of the materials in the pot is completed, put salt into the pot and stir to fully dissolve the salt and promote the condensation of soap base.

Let stand for two to three hours to form.

Take out the materials that have been left still, take out the upper layer of soap liquid and put it in the soap box when it is out of the pot, and wait for it to slowly solidify and form.

This is a lot of time and effort.
