Chapter 154: Lard Soap

The children have worked hard; be sure to keep things in moderation, don't be stingy with food. Jiang Yun Chu gave an order.

Zi Su didn't move; she knew the Princess Consort wasn't speaking to her.

"Master, the Yanzhi workshop has already been arranged; when should we go over?" Su Xin came from outside; these days she has taken on the bearing of a capable woman, always managing the Wang Fu's shops outside; this past six months, having gone through deceit and coaxing, she has quickly grown up, able to stand on her own.

"Go now, fetch that letter." Jiang Yun Chu pointed at the desk.

That is her prepared recipe; this recipe is not from the exchange space, but from her previous life when she learned it from watching short videos; later she made many herself and mastered the technique.

In this day and age, these recipes can actually handle many matters.

"Yes!" Su Xin took it and immediately followed behind her.

Bai Zhi saw Su Xin come over and immediately stood behind the Princess Consort; anyway, whenever leaving the manor, she would follow the Princess Consort, no one could think of shaking her off.

She would never leave the Princess Consort's side even half a step; the Princess Consort could drive her away but she wouldn't go!

The Princess Consort came back covered in blood; she had already been frightened out of her wits.

"Let's go, to the workshop." Jiang Yun Chu glanced at Bai Zhi, smiled and shook her head, also saying nothing more.

The people around her caring for herself is a good thing; how could she not be happy?

"Greetings, Princess Consort."

……

All along the way, the workshop people performed salutations and kowtows; now everyone in the workshop holds their indenture contracts in Jiang Yun Chu's hands.

Previously placed individuals, the Jingzhao Prefecture officials on the surface have already been investigated, and the Shadow Guard in the dark have also been investigated.

So far, everything has been cleaned up.

She also did this for the formula's safety, and besides, the Wang Fu has been riddled with holes; how could she entrust the formula to them with peace of mind?

"You come with me." Jiang Yun Chu pointed at four people.

Those four people: one is an old person, one is a child, and also one man and one woman.

These four people were the previous workshop stewards.

When those people caused trouble, they all stood on the side of the Regent Prince's Manor; for those loyal to the Wang Fu, she kept them in mind.

Actually there was also a couple, but she transferred them to the manor; the two manors they first bought were prepared as test fields, and later many products would have to go through there, so trustworthy people were needed.

That's why she selected that couple to go there.

"Greetings, Princess Consort." The four people entered the room and knelt on the floor.

"Rise." Jiang Yun Chu sat down in the chair and then slowly spoke.

At this moment, she needed dignity, needed them to remember who is the master!

"You are all old people; the workshop and shops have been idle for several months; you all know the situation."

"Now I want to reopen the shop, and I also have a new recipe."

"The needed materials, I have already written them down."

"Get ready, and we'll go over to do it."

She smiled faintly, had Su Xin hand the recipe to that man; the man originally was from the Wang Fu army, but he was seriously disabled, Ning Chengyan had arranged him to be here, and also let him bring his wife.

"Princess Consort, I'll go prepare this right away." The man looked at the things above; in the workshop, everything was readily available.

However, these things are rather strange.

One doesn't know what the Princess Consort can make with these things.

In a short while, several people gathered in the workroom; it turned out to be very clean, with many items neatly arranged.

"Who tidied up?" Jiang Yun Chu glanced.

Now there aren't many people in the workshop; for the formula's safety, many have been cleared out.

"Reporting to the Princess Consort, it's me!" The young person, at this moment, looked embarrassed.

She nodded, "Not bad!"

That youth felt even more embarrassed.

The old man chuckled, rubbed the youth's head; his hand strength was not small, the child didn't mind, and even turned his head to look.

"I'll operate once; you watch the sequence, dosage, and temperature closely."

Jiang Yun Chu this time is making lard soap.

In this era, there is no soap; people mostly use edible salt and soap pods.

Even nobles washing their hair is the same.

Lard soap is low-cost, needing only lard and plant ash.

Watching Jiang Yun Chu's practiced movements, everyone looked at each other.

Even Bai Zhi and Su Xin were curious, wondering if this would work.

Su Xin didn't know, but Bai Zhi knew: the Princess Consort, when she was in the Wang Fu, had never done this at all!

"This will do." Jiang Yun Chu smiled, looking at the product, knowing it would definitely succeed.

The contents of the pot were poured into the mold.

The mold is for making other things; time is short, and there is no other choice.

After pouring into the mold, she tapped it a few times, letting the bubbles inside fully disperse, then she raised her hand.

"Tomorrow at this time, I will come over and tell you what this does."

"For this room, just keep an eye on it today; don't let others come in."

Jiang Yun Chu said to that man, the previous workshop managers had all been arrested, she promoted him to supervisor.

Directly reporting to Su Xin, from now on she just needs to sit in the Wang Fu counting money.

Thinking of this, she smiled helplessly; over there there are still a few little rascals who want to lie flat, probably still a long way off.

The next day, the Wang Fu's carriage set out low-key from the side gate, went straight to the workshop, attracting no one's attention.

"Just go." As soon as he entered the workshop, Jiang Yun Chu didn't wait for everyone to speak before opening his mouth.

On the first day we establish an image; the second day we shouldn't be kneeling back and forth—it's too troublesome.

When the workshop door opened, we saw the boy inside, constantly wandering about.

"Xiao Liu." The man looked at him smiling, yesterday this child had volunteered to come guard.

He said he wanted to lock the door, so Xiao Liu let them lock him inside; otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.

These days, the workshop has been idle for several months, everyone is just hanging around; they fear that if this place falls apart, the Wang Fu will no longer need it, and then they'll have no home.

The Princess Consort's instructions, he will surely carry them out properly.

"Greetings, Princess Consort." Xiao Liu, quick with his hands and feet, directly knelt down.

Jiang Yun Chu smiled and said, "Hurry up, it's time to eat?"

On the way over, Zhang Guangzhi had already told her the whole situation.

Zhang Guangzhi is the man's name; his wife is Wang Chun.

"Replying to the Princess Consort, I've already eaten; my sister-in-law brought me food." Xiao Liu blushed shyly, a fourteen-year-old boy, exactly the age when one is introverted and bashful.

But Xiao Liu is very thoughtful, and his whole demeanor is very steady.

When that gang caused trouble before, she had already noticed this boy; he leaves a good impression.

"Alright, today we'll demold." Jiang Yun Chu nodded, then walked to the spot where the molds were fixed yesterday.

She used the nearby cutting knife, cut around the edges of the mold, then slowly pushed and pulled the base, and a piece of lard soap appeared just like that.
