In the warehouse, a large pot was bubbling, and an unpleasant smell filled the entire space. If someone who didn't know the situation saw it, they would probably think that a witch was performing an evil ritual here.
However, this was just making soap.
"I hope it will work …"
After the sodium hydroxide melt was done, Tang En began to try the saponification reaction. Looking at the liquid in the big pot that gradually became viscous, he prayed with all his heart.
Although he knew the general theoretical knowledge, this was a different world after all. The basic physics may be similar, but if the basic chemistry rules were different, then it would be a big problem.
"The reaction should be almost there."
Tang En looked at the viscous liquid in the pot and felt that it was almost there. Then, he stopped heating and began to reverse mold.
He divided this batch of soap into two types. One was ordinary soap, and the other was mixed with peppermint essential oil, hoping to produce a type of soap.
In fact, soap and soap were the same thing, but soap had a lot of softening substances added to it, making it more compatible with the skin. However, Tang En obviously couldn't make those things now, so he could only replace them with mint essential oil. The fragrance was enough to use.
The steps after the reverse mold were also very simple. The soap was air-dried using convenient spells, and then the large piece of soap was cut into small pieces with wind blades. After a while, more than a hundred pieces of soap were out of the oven. [e1]
Of course, he still didn't know whether the soap was successfully made, so he had to test it.
Tang En brought the soap to Tina.
"Tina, these are the soaps I made. Take them and give them to the maid who is in charge of washing clothes today. Let her try the decontamination ability of this soap."
"Ah? Sir Feudal Lord? What is soap? It can decontaminate? "
Tina obviously didn't know what Tang En brought. Prandal was now decontaminating with the leaves of a plant called Kanai, similar to the locust on earth. Before there was nothing else to replace it, the leaves of that plant were the best decontamination products.
"You can just take it and let her try it … Forget it, I'll go and take a look too."
Tang En was very concerned about the success of the soap. If Fiona's people could really come, then after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, they would not only sell candy, but also daily necessities like soap. Both nobles and commoners needed it.
Tang En felt that if a businessman transmigrated to Prandal, he would probably be so excited by this empty market that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage.
Tina brought Tang En to the backyard. This was where the servants lived. They usually did their laundry here as well.
"Marlene is in charge of the laundry today."
Tina introduced her friend to Tang En. It was her first time being so close to Tang En. She was obviously nervous and didn't know where to put her wet hands.
"Don't be nervous."
Tang En smiled and said, "This is the soap I made. It should be able to remove dirt. Try it."
"Okay, okay!"
Although she was very doubtful about the use of the soap that Tang En took out, Marlene did not dare to question Tang En. She reached out to take the soap, but because her hands were wet, the soap directly fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry!"
Marlene immediately panicked and went to pick up the soap.
It's, it's over!
Marlene was full of despair as she picked up the soap. The Lord must have made something precious. She actually dropped it on the ground. The Lord will definitely be angry!
However, the more nervous she was, the harder it was for her wet hands to pick up the soap. The soap was like a naughty little elf, always slipping out of her hands.
"Uh, let me do it."
Tang En bent down to grab the soap. At this time, Marlene just happened to grab the soap. Both of their hands suddenly grabbed together.
Marlene was stunned, and Tina was also stunned. The next moment, Marlene's face turned red and she was very nervous.
Lord, Lord, Lord, why, why, why, why did he grab my hand?
Could, could, could it be that Lord, Lord, Lord, he wants to …
Marlene's mind was in a mess. If Tang En knew about it, he would probably be stunned and deeply shocked by the imagination of these girls.
She had only touched his hand for a short while, yet her imagination was running wild?
Tang En did not think so much. After helping Marlene grab the soap, he smiled and said, "This thing is not easy to grab when your hands are wet. You have to be careful. Otherwise, if you keep picking up the soap, it will be very dangerous."
Marlene said nervously, "Okay, I, I will try my best not to pick up the soap …"
Tang En let go of his hand and gestured, "Now, try using it to wash clothes."
So Marlene took out a piece of dirty clothes. As soon as she took it out, Tina exclaimed and rushed to the front to block Tang En's line of sight, "Marlene! Change it! "
"Ah?"
Marlene was stunned for a moment. When she looked carefully, she realized that the clothes in her hand were Tina's underwear.
Tina's face flushed red. She was shy and nervous. She was afraid that Tang En would see it, so she kept signaling Marlene with her eyes.
Marlene hurriedly changed into another set of clothes. Only then did Tina breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
Tang En had a puzzled look on his face.
"No, nothing …"
Tina moved to the side.
After soaking the clothes, Marlene used the soap to wipe them. Then, she gently rubbed them with her hands. Immediately, fine bubbles appeared on the clothes.
"Eh?!"
Marlene exclaimed. The speed of the soap bubbles was much faster than Canaire's!
Marlene used the soap to wipe the stain again. Then, she began to rub it. In just a moment, the stain disappeared.
"This, this, this …"
Marlene was surprised and happy, "My Lord! This soap is really good! Such a stain that is so difficult to wash off, and it's gone after rubbing it a few times! "
"Is that so? How is it compared to Canaire? "
"It's much better!"
Marlene was overjoyed, "If I have this soap, the time to wash clothes will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the clothes will be very clean!"
"In other words, if this thing is sold, as a housewife, you will need it and will definitely buy it, right?"
"That's right!"
Marlene said without hesitation, "If there is soap that can be used and the price is not expensive, I will definitely buy it and not use Canaire."
"That's good."
Tang En smiled, "In the future, the clothes in the mansion will be washed with this soap."
"Ah?"
Marlene exclaimed, "My Lord, this soap is so good. What if it runs out? It's better to keep it for my Lord to use when washing clothes. "
"Don't worry, I can have as much of this thing as I want in the future. You guys continue with your work. I'll go back first. "
Tang En left after he finished speaking. As he walked, he was thinking.
The soap was successfully made. This means that the basic chemistry of Prandal and Earth should not be much different. As for more advanced things … Screw it!
Tang En was not a chemist. Even if he could memorize the periodic table of the chemical elements, it would be impossible for him to understand how each chemical element came to be. Not to mention, he could only recite the first 20 elements …
To him, the knowledge he had was sufficient to make his life in this world more comfortable. That was enough.
"Let's try the mint soap."
Tang En had not showered for a few days, and now he was eager to try out the mint soap that he had made to see if it was effective.
There was only one bathroom in the mansion, and hot water was supplied all day long. There was always someone at the back to make a fire to boil water.
However, there was no water circulation system here. The hot water had to be transported by manpower. These things were also done by the maids in the mansion. This made Tang En sigh. Sure enough, power was a hotbed of corruption.
After dispersing the maids who wanted to serve him in the bath, Tang En took off his clothes and jumped into the bath. He could not help but let out a comfortable moan.
Although it was convenient to take a bath with magic, soaking in the pool was still the most comfortable.
"But it would be better if there was a sauna … Huh?"
Tang En had a flash of inspiration. He suddenly thought that the principle of the sauna was very simple. He could build one himself!
The bath was so big. Wouldn't it be easy to transform it into a sauna?
"Well, I'll do it when I'm free these few days. The feeling of sweating, it feels good just thinking about it!"
Tang En quickly made a decision.
Then he began to try out the mint soap.
The appearance of the Peppermint Soap was better than that of ordinary soap. After all, it had more peppermint essential oil and smelled better. Tang En felt that if soap was a consumer product for the masses, then the Peppermint Soap could become a luxury item for the aristocrats.
If he added some special molds to make some beautiful mint soap, he believed that the aristocrats would like this thing and obediently pay for it.
After his skin was wet, Tang En wiped his body with the soap. With a gentle rub, delicate bubbles appeared. There was also a fresh mint fragrance, which made him intoxicated.
"Why didn't I feel that it was such a happy thing to use soap before …"
… …
"I'm exhausted. The Lord is really cunning. He doesn't care about anything!"
Fiona stretched and got up to go to the bathroom.
"It's so hot. Go take a bath and relax."
Fiona came outside the bathroom and was a little dissatisfied. "Where are the maids? Why isn't anyone here? "
She also wanted the maids to bring her some petals.
"Forget it, I'll just put up with it."
Fiona was helpless. She took off her clothes and went in.
A moment later, a few maids came over.
"Huh? These are Miss Fiona's clothes, right? "
"Ah? Isn't the Lord taking a bath inside? If Miss Fiona goes in like this … "
"What are you talking about? Miss Fiona is the Lord's lover. Maybe the Lord called her over to serve him?"
"Oh! I see. No wonder we were just asked to leave … I really envy Miss Fiona … "
"Let's go quickly. It will be bad if we hear something we shouldn't hear."
"En! That's right! "
So a few maids tiptoed away …
