The Prodigal Son of the Empire

The next step is to mix and match, then cool and store, and finally filter and purify, so that the perfume becomes.

And the transparent vial in which the perfume is placed is made of glass.

Glass is also Wang Kang's recent invention. In this era, colored glaze is the most used thing that is close to glass.

Glass is quite expensive, a complete luxury.

At that time, Wang Kang was decorating the Heaven and Earth, and most of the money was invested in this.

Therefore, when the conditions were ripe, he presided over the invention of glass.

In fact, glass also existed in ancient times. In the Northern Song Dynasty, commercial glass appeared and began to become an industrial material. In the early Qing Dynasty, optical glass was produced to meet the needs of developing telescopes.

However, the glass in ancient my country has always been relatively simple low-temperature lead-barium glass.

Because of the chemical composition and firing temperature, it will be fried when it encounters hot water, so it cannot be used as a living utensil at all.

However, in this period, there was no such glass, which resulted in the high price of colored glaze.

The materials needed to make glass are quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, and soda ash!

Quartz sand is a granular form of quartz stone that has been crushed and processed. This is available in Xinfeng County.

Limestone and feldspar are more common.

As for soda ash, it has been used in ancient times.

In fact, the things we see in daily life are made of raw materials that are very common.

Then there are the toppings,

Mix various raw materials in proper proportions.

Then how to do it?This is similar to iron smelting, smelting.

The prepared raw materials are heated at high temperature to form a uniform glass liquid without bubbles, and then the melted glass liquid is transformed into a solid product with a fixed shape.

Finally, it is gradually cooled and annealed, and finally shaped.

Of course, it is very simple to say, but in the actual production process, I have gone through a lot of experiments.

Like now, only some small bottles and cans can be made, and large-scale glass has not been successful because of the lack of suitable molds.

However, Wang Fuchen and the others are already studying this problem, and I believe it will be successful in the near future, because Wang Kang built a new city and modern houses,

Ready to use glass.

Moreover, glass can bring him a huge amount of wealth, and the successful development of perfume will definitely set off a new storm...

Chapter 258 Soap and Cream

His thoughts flickered, Wang Kang put down the exquisite small bottle of perfume in his hand, and asked, "How many kinds of fragrances like this have been developed?"

"Currently there are five kinds." The old man said, "But I'm still refining new essential oils."

"No need for now." Wang Kang ordered: "At present, mass production of these five types has started, and you will develop a new thing next."

"Are there any new products?"

Hearing this, the old Taoist asked in surprise, and seemed very excited. To be honest, he didn't expect that Wang Kang asked him to do this at first.

At the beginning, in order to be able to deceive better and be more convincing, he would study some strange methods by himself, and he was also very interested in these.

And what Wang Kang taught him made him seem to have opened a door.

He was delighted by all kinds of novelty. He enjoyed the process very much. Under his production, a new product was born.

Of course, what he admired more was Wang Kang, this young master, and the old Taoist priest was glad that he had made the right choice.

This young master seems to know everything, understand everything.

The entire production process of the perfume was proposed by Young Master Kang, and he just followed the process and method.

"Then what's new?" The old man asked thinking.

Wang Kang smiled and said, "Soap!"

"Soap?" The old man asked suspiciously, "What is that? Is it the same effect as perfume?"

"No," Wang Kang explained, "Soap is for washing your face and hands."

"Oh? You mean saponins, right?"

In ancient times, there were actually cleaning products, such as plant ash, rice washing water, saponins, etc., but relatively speaking, these did have cleaning effects.

But it is not practical and convenient.

Therefore, Wang Kang wanted to make soap.

In his vision, perfume is positioned as a luxury product. What is a luxury product?Upscale and expensive!

The corresponding buying groups are noble ladies, ladies from big families, etc.

As for soap, it is aimed at the general public, and of course some high-end products will also be made.

Only in this way can we have better returns.

Either don't do it, and do it directly to ignite a new trend. Wang Kang also wants to make money and relieve the pressure on his family.

The road construction has been going on for so many days, and he spends a lot of money every day. Now he is in Xinfeng County, and his reputation as a prodigal in Yangzhou City has long been blown to the sky.

Not only in Yangzhou, but also in the surrounding Yongzhou and Wanzhou.

This will start to build the city again soon, and it will cost a lot of money. Moreover, in his father's letter, Yongding Bo began to suppress the business of Fuyang Earl's Mansion.

Han Yu has a lot of power in Yongzhou, and it is still very difficult for him to make a real move.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Earl's Mansion's business in Yongzhou has shrunk in an all-round way. If it weren't for the women's clothing designed by Wang Kang, which is covered with purple silk, it would have been even more difficult.

Wang Kang is ready to make a breakthrough with perfume and soap.

"This soap will work better than the usual ones, just do as I tell you."

As Wang Kang said, he took out a piece of paper from his cuff and gave it to the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist was too busy to take it, looked at it, and then said in astonishment: "It's so simple?"
