Following the success of cotton oil soap and regular soap, Jiang Zhi continued her efforts and began refining glycerin.
Connect a distiller directly above the boiling soap solution, add salt to the collected liquid, stir and let it stand. Glycerin crystals will appear. After filtering, the remaining crystals are glycerin.
The glycerin that ordinary people see is a non-solidifying liquid, and no one would have thought that real glycerin is actually a white crystal.
These crystals, when mixed with water, become a liquid, which is the main ingredient in skincare products.
Moreover, soaps that have had glycerin extracted do not have any impact on their cleaning ability.
If it's just a regular cleansing product, prolonged use will cause dry and rough skin.
If glycerin is not extracted, then it is a soap with skin care effects, such as a medicated soap, which leaves a slippery feeling after washing.
Because impurities need to be removed, all soaps are made using the hot process to extract glycerin, and can be used after one week.
Only a small portion of soaps are made using the cold process, which involves adding lye and fragrance directly to the oil and stirring until a saponification reaction occurs. This process takes about a month to complete.
Jiang Zhi had only been back for a month when Li Laoshi sent her a letter. He told her that he had found a shop for her; it used to be a cosmetics shop, and it could be used after being repainted.
The shop sign has also been changed; the soap shop is now called "Qingquanwan," which matches the porcelain jar used for packaging.
This is from Jiangzhiti; the shop name is the same as the pharmacy.
In addition, Jiang Zhi mentioned the mosquito coils that the Huo family wanted to sell to Miss Huo when she returned to Pingchuan County.
Miss Huo only knew a little about Nie Fantian's background. She said that General Nie didn't talk much about his background, only that his mother's family was in Jincheng Prefecture.
Knowing that the Nie family had a cloth shop in Jincheng, and that the Huo family also had a shop in Jincheng, they immediately agreed to send goods there after finding out the location of the Huo family's cloth shop.
Now that Huo Family Pharmacy has made contact with Nie Family, Huo Family has put mosquito coils and mosquito repellent on the shelves, and Jiang Zhi's supplies can also be delivered.
Jiang Zhi didn't go to Jincheng again; instead, Er Rui, Xiao Man, and Xu Genqing went. Young people need to travel more to broaden their horizons, and the future depends on them.
Qin left Xujia Village last December. Although Jiang Zhi came back and said she was doing well, Xu Genqing also wanted to go and see his mother!
The soaps and bar soaps are packaged in oil paper, and the medicated creams are still packaged in porcelain jars labeled "Qingquanwan". Since the skincare products are still in the experimental stage, they will not be sent.
Two weeks later, the three of them returned.
Errui told Jiangzhi that the Nie family had helped Li Laoshi rent a shop facing the street with a courtyard in the back, enough for the whole family to live in.
When "Qingquan Bay" opened, friends from both the Huo and Nie families came to support it, and Pang Hu also brought a lot of people to buy it.
Jiang Zhi didn't see Pang Hu when she went to Jincheng Prefecture last time; she only found out this time that he was out on business.
Jiang Zhi stayed on the mountain for four months, and finally managed to finish another batch of medicinal creams, soaps, and skin care products for Jincheng Prefecture just before winter.
These past few months have been a mix of joy and sorrow for the women of Xujia Village.
They have an endless supply of skincare products, including salicylic acid facial cleansers that can exfoliate dead skin.
There are gauze masks that can be applied to the face, supposedly made with centella asiatica to remove scars.
It contains clear, white water that can moisturize the skin.
There are soap bars for laundry, and soaps that leave you smelling fresh and feeling smooth after a shower, and they come in several different scents.
Even without using it, I absolutely love it just by hearing about it.
Anyone, regardless of age, can use it, but it can't be used for nothing. Every day, Qiaoyun will come to ask about the user's reaction. If there is any discomfort, stop using it and try another one.
These trial packs are all numbered, so you can easily find out which ones are good and which ones are not by asking around.
Wang Xiaoju was not used as a guinea pig; she was in postpartum confinement after giving birth.
Seeing Lianhua and Pishi walking around in front of her every day, their bodies smelling so alluring, she couldn't wait to apply some too, but her mother-in-law, Liu, said she couldn't take a bath.
So she could only endure the stench and watch helplessly as the Pi family members came and went, smelling delicious.
In fact, Jiangzhi uses only natural herbs, so they don't have an overpowering fragrance.
As for natural herbs, of course we'll have to ask Paige for help.
Peppa is over four years old now, and she spends all her time with people, which is making her increasingly intelligent.
Jiang Zhi intended to give it intensive training, and it has become quite adept at finding centella asiatica, honeysuckle, and mugwort.
Hard work brings rewards; Peppa Pig gets good food and drink every day and works hard.
Qianniu has now moved into the village and is responsible for transporting goods up and down the mountain.
Peppa had no help, so she found some centella asiatica and dug it into the basket she had brought with her.
Although it was half soil and half grass when it was brought back, Jiang Zhi still rewarded it with a big roasted sweet potato.
As winter approached, the mosquito coil workshop shut down again, and Wang Xiaoju was past her postpartum period. As soon as Jiang Zhi entered the village, she immediately pestered him: "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with? Do you need someone to try your soaps?"
Jiang Zhi glanced at her: "It's cold now, and you still want to take a shower? Don't let yourself get cold!"
There's no heating or water heater here. The wind is howling, and it's constantly drizzling. Even a slight cold or flu can be fatal.
In summer, you can touch water every day, but in winter, it's okay to get a little dirty, but you can't just take a bath whenever you want.
Wang Xiaoju has been idle for so long, and now that she has nothing to do, she feels anxious.
Jiang Zhi had no choice but to find something for her: "Ask your brother to make some small boxes of various shapes. I need them to make molds for soap."
Wang Xiaoju finally found something new to do, and happily left with her child in her arms.
Jiang Zhi wasn't happy at all. It was time to build a school, but Magistrate Zhang said he wouldn't interfere and that she could decide which village to build it in.
Jiang Zhi is also waiting now, while Er Rui has already gone to the county government to inquire about the tax collection situation in each village.
Tian Gui has already said that a total of twelve villages have been learning from him over the past two years. Among them, seven or eight villages have taken it seriously and followed the new technology every season, and they have seen results. This year, the cotton yield has doubled.
The increase is said to be doubled, meaning that where a cotton seedling used to yield three or four peaches, now it can yield seven or eight.
Other villages also did it, but they all encountered problems to varying degrees.
For example, if early-planted corn is not allowed to be sold, it is forced to become old corn, delaying all subsequent crops.
For example, there have been obstacles to raising sweet potatoes on ridges and intercropping in wheat fields, but efforts are being made to resolve them.
Jiang Zhi felt that schools could be set up in these villages, with the entire village pooling their money to pay the teachers' tuition, regardless of their educational background, as long as they could teach people to read and do arithmetic.
If a villager with education is willing to teach for a year, in addition to the tuition fees raised by the village, they can receive a subsidy of five taels of silver. The higher the education level, the more subsidy they will receive.
Jiang Zhi had no intention of producing many scholars or top-ranking officials; her budget was only for one year.
Just like the children in Xujia Village, a group of children who can read and understand principles can be taught in a year.
We'll figure out a way to help those who are bright enough to go to school, and we'll decide on the rest based on the situation.
Soon, Errui returned with a list of the village's assets.
Similar to what Tian Gui found out, the villages that were willing to come and learn before did not have too much trouble paying taxes.
In fact, when Jiang Zhi returned a few months ago, he had already announced his intention to select a few villages to set up schools.
The requirements are that the village has a good atmosphere and upright conduct. As long as you come to Xujia Village to submit your application after the busy farming season, you can get it repaired if approved.
Sure enough, three villages arrived within a few days.
