"Take out all the hand towels, quilt covers, mattress covers, and pillowcases. This is the last time this year."
A shout came from the Li Family Zhuangzi.
The palace maids and eunuchs disappeared in an instant. The things they sent were all theirs.
Before every shift, they had to send the things to the people in Zhuangzi who specialized in washing clothes.
It wasn't that they couldn't wash it themselves. There were all kinds of washing machines, so they could wash it.
However, some things were used for a long time, such as hand towels. After washing them, they would have a strange smell two days later.
Everyone knew about this, including the people in Li Yi's time.
The newly bought hand towels would have no smell after half a month. After that, they wouldn't be able to be washed no matter how much they were washed.
In theory, it was time to change them after more than a month.
In reality, that wasn't the case. Even if the hand towels were sent to the dry cleaning shop, they would be washed with chemicals.
Also, fungi and some bacteria couldn't be killed in low temperatures, so they would have a strange smell soon.
The Li Family Zhuangzi used the steaming method. They brought things over and steamed them in a big steamer. After steaming them once, they would be just like the new hand towels. They would have no smell for many days.
Otherwise, if they could be sterilized by washing, why would Li Yi's needles and gauze need to be steamed after washing?
Now, the pillows and needles in the Li Family Zhuangzi needed to be steamed, just like in the 1980s and 1990s when Li Yi was still alive.
Therefore, whether a hand towel needed to be changed or not depended on whether the person using it would use the steaming method to sterilize it.
Hand towels that cost more than 30 yuan should be thrown away after a month? Otherwise, there would be a smell.
Steam. Specifically find a day of free time to wash the hand towels and put them in the steamer. After steaming them once, they would have the same effect as new hand towels.
As for the hand towels that cost two yuan each, throw them away. The money from steaming them once was enough to buy a new one.
Steaming wasn't done just by opening the steamer. It also needed a long time to increase the pressure and steam temperature.
If you bought a hundred hand towels that cost two yuan each, you could buy a new one every day. After a hundred days, you could steam them in a big steamer.
The people didn't know. They always had hand towels to wash every day. They found that if they didn't wash them, they would have a smell.
Even after wiping her body and feeling that she had washed herself clean with soap, when she came into contact with water the next day, there would be an unpleasant smell at night.
The Li Family Zhuangzi wasn't like that. Normally, the steam house would only be used once every three days. After that, the steam house could be used for many days.
It was the last day of the New Year, and everyone had changed to new ones. The ones that had been replaced could be processed. They would rinse them first and then steam them.
Li Yi explained the matter to Princess Yongmu. It was very simple. It was just steaming.
"So that's how it is. Li Lang, newspaper, say it, tell the people. "
Princess Yongmu was very distressed. She threw away a lot of towels and clothes that she found smelly no matter how she washed them.
It was actually steaming. Why didn't he know about it before?
"If I mention it in the newspaper, the people who sell hand towels and other things will have less sales."
Li Yi analyzed the problem from another angle.
When he was on the Internet at that time, when he talked about how to remove the smell of a towel, it was all about adding salt, vinegar, soda, and boiling water.
In fact, during the production process of towels, there was a steaming process.
No one talked about this. It was clearly a steaming process, but why did they have to make it so complicated?
Pressure cooker, two hours. When it was taken out, the towels were very absorbent. At the same time, there was no smell for many days.
"Li Lang, are the people who sell things more important, or are the people who sell things more important?" Princess Yongmu was unhappy and pouted.
"Go and look for Song De. Write it in the newspaper next year. How about the beautiful lady? The people who buy things are more important. The people who sell things can change their strategy. "
Li Yi followed her advice. He gave people the feeling that he could change anything for a beautiful lady.
Princess Yongmu was wearing a pleated skirt that reached her knees. She fidgeted and placed her hands on her lower abdomen: "Li Lang, why are you treating me like this?"
"I like you. I don't have any resistance to beautiful ladies. Let's have a heart-to-heart talk tonight?" Li Yi was smiling mischievously again.
"No way." Princess Yongmu's personality was about to change. In the past, she had always been gentle. Now, she was like a young girl.
In history, she was at a disadvantage. When she got married, she gave little things. Then, after she got married, she was bullied by the son of the person in power.
The so-called bullying was when the other party went to her house and forced her to cook. They did not treat her like a princess at all.
She did not want to tell her father because she felt embarrassed.
The key was that in history, the people she married were weak, afraid, and all kinds of afraid.
Now, it was different. She was in contact with Li Yi. Her family also wanted her to marry Li Yi and asked her to be more proactive.
When Li Yi interacted with her, he always felt like a gangster. She became mischievous.
The environment determined one's character!
"Don't be afraid. I know your surname is Li. It's not easy to live with me. It's okay. I'll try my best to change the law. We'll talk about it after five years."
Li Yi said to Princess Yongmu with a smile.
Princess Yongmu covered her eyes with the back of her hands and turned around. She was only 16 years old.
"Li Yi, I'm telling you, don't go overboard." Xiao Lan stood up in time.
"Actually, I've long wanted to spread it. However, for other materials, steaming is not a good way. Only cotton works.
How do you steam hemp and silk? If the hemp is not woven and processed properly, you can use a wooden stick to beat the bacteria out.
Silk is rinsed. A little plant ash is enough. If you steam it in a pot, it will destroy its structure. "
Li Yi talked about serious matters in the blink of an eye. There were no washboards now.
Washboards only existed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Now, clothes were not washed. They were dyed and waxed.
Normal cotton cultivation in history was in the late Song Dynasty. Then, it stopped. The Yuan Dynasty did not develop the local economy at all, even though there were many Han people in the Yuan Dynasty.
A large amount of cotton only appeared when it was Zhu Yuanzhang's time. Then, there were washboards.
The washboard could not be used to rub numbness.
The washboard could not be used to rub silk.
Only cotton cloth was suitable for the washboard. Therefore, the history of the washboard began in the Ming Dynasty. It was accompanied by a large amount of cotton cultivation and application.
"I still feel that you are bullying my wife."
Xiao Lan stood firm. She was the princess's personal maid and had to think for the princess.
"Silk is not easy to deal with, is it?" Princess Yongmu did not think of anything else. She had a strong desire to learn now.
"Whether silk is easy to deal with or not depends on how you look at it. In terms of subsequent cleaning, silk is easy to deal with.
In the beginning, it is not easy to deal with from the beginning. Silk reeling is the most difficult.
How can you change the lives of silkworms and silk reels? You need to increase the value of silk.
How to increase the value of silk depends on the scale and value of other substitutes. "
Li Yi was very patient. He spoke slowly. Up until now, he was not specific enough.
Could economic matters be explained in a few words?
Yes, it meant that there were profits and losses.
In fact, it was not. It depended on whether the pursuit of pure profits or expected profits for a period of time.
