Upon hearing the question posed by the Lord, everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.
After a moment's thought, a younger craftsman spoke up directly: "Your Excellency, I believe that the reason we're only letting it sit for three days is because Qiankun Hall wants to sell it quickly and make a profit..."
"Smack!"
Before the young craftsman could finish speaking, the middle-aged craftsman next to him slapped him across the face!
The middle-aged craftsman was furious, but he dared not disobey Sun Jian. He could only scold the young craftsman in a low voice, his anger barely contained: "Shut the hell up! What do you mean by 'sell it quickly'... At Qiankun Hall, quality is our top priority! Quality!"
"The items from our Qiankun Hall must be exquisite and refined, striving for perfection!"
"If you dare to spout nonsense in front of the Lord again, I'll break your legs!"
After being scolded by the middle-aged craftsman, the young craftsman covered his face with a wronged expression, pouting and not daring to say another word.
Sun Jian smiled slightly and didn't take it to heart.
After all, he was the one who encouraged everyone to speak up and answer questions. Regardless of whether the answers were good or bad, at least they were actively participating!
"My lord, may I answer..."
Chu Qingcheng, resting her delicate chin on her hand, smiled and asked Sun Jian.
"certainly!"
Sun Jian glanced at Chu Qingcheng with an appreciative look, then shrugged, indicating that Chu Qingcheng could speak frankly.
"My lord, the molding time cannot be too long. Are you worried that the soap will harden after saponification, making it difficult to remove impurities and trim later, and also the mold... mold shaping?"
Upon hearing Chu Qingcheng's words, Lao Jiang, Lao Cao, Gou Sheng, Gu Hu, and others were all immediately impressed. Even Zhou Wan'er and Gu Zijian pondered Chu Qingcheng's words and nodded in agreement with this line of thinking.
Sun Jian took a few steps forward with a doting gaze and gently pinched Chu Qingcheng's high nose.
"You little rascal, haha, you're absolutely right!"
"That's right. The reason for letting it sit for only three days is that if it sits for too long, the moisture in the soap will evaporate completely, and it will slowly harden, making it difficult to deal with."
"Open it within 3-4 days. At that time, the soap will be in a semi-solid state, which is the best time to remove impurities, shape, and mold it!"
Hehe~
After being praised by Sun Jian, Chu Qingcheng smiled happily, her eyes conveying tender affection.
Gu Zijian and Zhou Wan'er were both a little envious of Chu Qingcheng. Why was their Sister Chu always so much smarter than them in these situations?
Sun Jian naturally noticed the slight disappointment on the faces of Zhou Wan'er and Gu Zijian out of the corner of his eye, and quickly pinched their cheeks to comfort them.
What's the most important thing about being a husband?
Repeat after me: May all the rain and dew be distributed equally!
Having received the same treatment, Zhou Wan'er and Gu Zijian were finally satisfied.
Since Chu Qingcheng has already given the answer, and Sun Jian has emphasized it further, there is no need to repeat it further.
At this moment, Sun Jian turned to face everyone, "Did you all hear that?"
"Your Excellency, we have heard you!"
Everyone responded to Sun Jian in unison.
As for the matter of removing impurities and reshaping the body, Sun Jian also gave a brief explanation.
"First, use thin thread to separate them, cut them into small pieces... then... do a second processing!"
As for secondary processing, simply put, it's nothing more than scraping off the rough edges and corners with a knife, and then pressing it into a mold to shape it!
The old foxes had already prepared all sorts of molds.
There are rectangular ones printed with relief plum blossoms, and square ones printed with relief deer and birds; you name it, they have it.
Sun Jian continued, “Remember, even after this batch of soaps has been successfully shaped, we must not be careless, because the soaps are still very soft at this time and cannot withstand external pressure.”
"After the mold is successfully shaped, it needs to be dried for more than a month before it can be used!"
More than a month...
Does that mean the soap won't be launched this month?
Upon hearing Sun Jian's words, everyone looked disappointed.
Does this mean Qiankuntang won't be launching any new products this month...?
well!
It's all my fault! If I had followed the process left by the Lord earlier, there might still be some success by now!
Last month, we said that Qiankuntang would launch new products every month, but the promised soap was nowhere to be found the following month. Isn't that somewhat damaging to Qiankuntang's reputation?
Seeing everyone's disappointment and self-blame, Sun Jian had already guessed their reaction. He smiled and said again, "Don't worry, although the soap has been postponed to next month, the perfume will be much sooner."
"The process of making perfume is simpler. Now I'll teach you the raw materials for making soap: fragrance, pollen, denatured alcohol. After adding water, stir and distill, and it's ready to sell!"
"Since I have some free time now, I'll demonstrate it for you myself..."
Since Sun Jian was already at the backyard R&D workshop, he figured he might as well teach them about the products for the next two months all at once.
In fact, once they mastered the techniques of making fragrances and distillation, they had already learned most of the perfume making skills.
With a little more polishing of the details, there shouldn't be any problems.
Sun Jian taught them about perfume in the same way he taught them about soap.
Since the materials and equipment are all there, we can get right to it and teach on-site, which will be faster.
As for the subsequent process of letting the aroma evaporate, let them wait patiently.
————
And so, Sun Jian spent another hour or so leading everyone through the entire perfume-making process, and only then did everyone realize what was going on.
Indeed, as Sun Jian said, they had already learned most of the perfume-making techniques, but they didn't know how to apply the details.
The perfume only needs one night to evaporate, so there's no need to wait too long; it can even be stocked and sold on a large scale the day after tomorrow!
Wow...it smells so good!
When the semi-finished perfume was produced, everyone exclaimed in amazement.
That fragrance was even more captivating than the natural scent of a young girl.
In Sun Jian's words, it's practically walking hormones; men feel invigorated by its scent, and women linger there, unable to tear themselves away...
Everyone in the Sun family, regardless of gender, servants, or guests, no longer needed perfume or soap to express their worship and admiration for Sun Jian; they regarded him as a living god.
Therefore, no matter how surprising things happened to Sun Jian, they would not be surprised.
Once the perfume samples were available, Sun Jian's first priority was to have his three wives choose one.
After all, it was Sun Jian himself who would enjoy the benefits, and of course, whatever good things Qiankun Hall had, it would give to his wives first.
