“Tea seed oil?”

Chen Xiangdong was suspicious.

Lu Miao nodded, looked at Fu Jingyou in the co-pilot seat and said:
"And Brother You, please weigh some of the citric acid I bought earlier for me."

"it is good."

Fu Jingyou nodded in response.

Chen Xiangdong's attention was always on rapeseed oil. When he had time, he asked:

"I know where to find tea seed oil, but what do I need tea seed oil for when making soap?"

Lu Miao explained:
“Different base oils will produce different soap effects…”

After a pause, Lu Miao continued to talk about the situation of the soap factory:
"I've learned that the soap factory can rent a production line. The shortest lease is one week. There are a few materials that can be used, but they are too limited... We are still in the experimental stage, so it would be better to try a few more materials. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to just use the rented space for once?"

Chen Xiangdong nodded. He understood half of what was said, but not the other half.

Whether it is vegetable oil or animal oil, it is inevitable that it will be greasy.

But isn’t soap a cleaning product used for bathing and washing clothes?
Could it be made of oil?

Chen Xiangdong was a little confused, but since Lu Miao wanted it, he decided to get some back and have a look.

Thinking about it, Chen Xiangdong asked again:

"How much does that cost?"

"Look, let's start with 200 or 300 kilograms."

Chen Xiangdong stepped on the brakes and turned back sharply:

"Seize the young master?"

The three people in the car, including him, suddenly rushed forward.

Fu Jingyou frowned and punched Chen Xiangdong on the shoulder:
"Pull over and sit over there and talk!"

Chen Xiangdong touched his nose and had to pull over to the side of the car and exchange seats with Fu Jingyou.

Tea seed oil is more expensive than rapeseed oil.

The rapeseed oil at the grain and oil station costs 84 cents per pound.

Tea seed oil from a nearby oil press workshop is sold at RMB 1.2 per pound.

One dollar and twenty cents per pound, so 200 pounds is 240 dollars.

Three hundred kilograms is three hundred and sixty yuan.

Chen Xiangdong questioned:

"How many bars of soap can be made from one pound of oil? Isn't the cost too high?"

Lu Miao said, "One pound is 500g, and a piece of soap is 80g. Even if we don't count the saponification media such as alkali and water, it can still be six and a half yuan. If we count the consumption and loss, it can at least be five yuan, right? According to the price of the Peony soap we just saw, it is sold for one yuan and fifty yuan, which is seven yuan and fifty cents."

With this calculation, the cost of one dollar and two cents really doesn't seem to be a big deal.

But it’s impossible to make soap with only oil, right?
There's always something else.

Chen Xiangdong asked whatever he thought.

Lu Miao continued:
"Other auxiliary materials may seem expensive per unit, but if you really buy one or two kilograms of them, you may not be able to use them all even if you make thousands of kilograms of soap."

"……All right."

Chen Xiangdong was speechless for a moment.

But after scratching the back of his head for a while, he said:
"I'll try my best. There may not be that much over there."

Chen Xiangdong gave a brief account of the situation.

Tea seed oil is also a kind of edible oil, and you need a ticket to buy it in the market.

The place he was talking about was something he found out by accident when he was working as a trader.

They don’t require tickets there, but the quantity is hard to guarantee.

Lu Miao nodded: "We should get as much as we can. The quality of the oil is more important. If it's too inferior, it won't work... It will affect the texture and color of the soap."

Chen Xiangdong said "hmm" and promised:

"We have cooperated with them before, the quality is good, but it is expensive..."

"That's fine."

There is a reason why it is expensive.

First of all, they don’t want tickets, and secondly, the oil yield of tea tree seeds themselves is not that high... Let’s arrange things here.

After arriving home, Lu Miao washed his hands and went back to his room to set up the small kang table.

He put the book and manuscript paper on the table and wrote for a long time.

She has a general idea, but is not so familiar with the detailed ratio data.

The only way to find out is to wait until you get the stuff back and then go to the soap factory and ask professionals to come and do it.

However, based on his knowledge of the effects and chemistry of essential oils and base oils, Lu Miao wrote several combination lists.

Like the citric acid mentioned earlier, if you add a small amount during the soap making process, it can play a certain role in neutralizing the alkalinity.

Lu Miao selects the best materials of the current era and is also aiming to develop in the direction of "soap".

But her main purpose is not just "soap", but to highlight "skin care".

If you plan to do it, do it well.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

If what she makes is almost the same as what is sold on the market, why would she spend all that effort and money?
……

Citric acid is easy to get, and Fu Jingyou got it back the next day.

Chen Xiangdong also brought back the news very quickly.

They say that 200 kilograms of tea seed oil can be obtained, but you have to wait for a few days.

Another reason is the economic liberation. Individuals no longer need to be secretive when doing business.

If you don't have a ticket when buying gas, the price there will be calculated at one dollar and fifty cents.

Lu Miao made the decision right away: one dollar and fifty cents.

If tickets are required, then this matter will be difficult to handle.

Even if their family had plenty of tickets, it was impossible for them to just throw away hundreds of kilograms of oil tickets...

Besides, after a few days when the tea seed oil was shipped back, Lu Miao contacted the Beijing North Soap Factory and confirmed the time to bring the goods over that day.

The assembly line can produce at least two thousand bars of soap a day. Lu Miao thought she could finish this in a short time.

But when we got there, it was completely different.

She paid the fees, and the raw materials such as alkali and various oils and fats were refined, degummed and deacidified on site at the soap factory.

All steps that can be carried out simultaneously should be carried out simultaneously.

That’s it, and I was busy for nearly four days.

Lu Miao thought to himself afterwards:

No wonder they didn't agree to rent it by the day...

During the operation, workers from the soap factory assisted.

After all, they are professionals. Even if they use the materials that Lu Miao requires to be added, the quality of the finished product is highly guaranteed.

It's tea seed oil.

The final base liquid of that batch of soap was poured out and the dried and solidified parts were printed, which contained impurities.

There aren't many impurities, but they are noticeable.

The workers at the soap factory asked Lu Miao if he wanted to dissolve it and filter it again.

There is no problem with the soap liquid poured out at the front, but there is a problem with the bottom part.

Seeing that there were not many defective soaps, Lu Miao shook his head and did not bother them.

Anyway, it doesn't affect the use.

It’s not easy to sell outside, but it can be used as employee welfare and distributed to your own people.

Now let's talk about this batch of soap.

Two hundred kilograms of tea seed oil, after removing the defective soaps and the damaged ones that were completely unusable, finally we got a total of 1,268 bars of soap.

Lu Miao's six bottles of essential oils come in three scents, weighing a total of 300g.

After being blended and saponified with 110 kilograms of coconut oil brought in from the soap factory, and the defective soaps were removed, there were more than 640 bars of soap in the end.

When Lu Miao calculated the data previously, he omitted the water and other saponification media required during soap making.

So even if we deduct the unusable part, this data is still a very good result for her. (End of this chapter)
