She Only Cares About Cultivation

Chapter 1370: Chapter 990: Poison Doctor Unrivaled 51 (Five Thousand)

When Shui Yixuan left, he took thirty sets of new products developed by Jiang Xue. These beauty products mainly included hair care and shampoo, facial cleansing and moisturizing, teeth cleaning, bathing and deodorizing, laundry and stain removal, and even perfume to enhance body fragrance. Each set was comprehensive and beautifully packaged in expensive glazed containers.

According to Jiang Xue, if the trial results of these products were good, they could be sold at a high price of ten silver taels in the future; only in this way could people appreciate the full range of her products.

"Using glazed containers, you came up with this idea; the cost immediately appears."

The process of making glaze is much more complicated than glass, especially since glazed containers are expensive and generally sold as crafts, rarely used like this.

Jiang Xue knew that the Shui Clan had a huge glaze processing factory in Nanyue. She planned to visit it when she had time to see if she could figure out how to make glass.

She had the principles, and if the Shui Clan had sufficiently strong manufacturing capabilities, it would surely greatly reduce the production cost of glazed containers.

"You should first send samples to the group you think can afford them for trial use. The quality is guaranteed; these are free, no money required. After using them, provide feedback, and I’ll see if there’s anything to improve. If not, we can start mass production. Of course, due to the limitation of the manufacturing process, we’re taking pre-ordering. The initial production capability will certainly not be high. Once we’re familiar with it, added with..."

Shui Yixuan picked up Jiang Xue’s samples one by one, and one blackish grease lump caught his attention.

"What is this? It feels quite smooth, but the smell is kind of strange?"

"Cotton oil soap, used for laundry. That’s just its smell; I haven’t added anything, so it’s a bit unpleasant, but its stain removal ability is very strong."

"Cotton oil? Which cotton? Could it be the oil from cotton seeds?"

"Cotton oil soap is made from crude cottonseed oil mixed with lye, boiled into a brown soap-like substance that becomes a milky liquid in water, exhibiting an alkaline reaction. Alkalinity can remove stains, like plant ashes and soapnuts we commonly see. Don’t be fooled by its current blackish color; if stored for too long, the color will gradually fade and even turn white, but it doesn’t affect its efficacy. I find it quite useful."

"What about this colored one? It feels similar to cotton oil soap, but the scent is much nicer!"

"Scented soap; I’ve added some plant colors and purified fragrances inside, so it becomes scented soap."

"Scented soap? This term is quite rare around here. We call it scented soap, scented bean cake, osmanthus soap, rose soap here. You’ve put in considerable effort with this cotton oil soap and scented soap. It looks unlike something made from cottonseed oil. The color is dyed very nicely, not quite like it."

"Oh, scented soap is made by mixing cleaned pig pancreas with fragrance and lye, then forming them into round balls about the size of Tangyuan. Apart from pig pancreas soap, I’ve also made sheep pancreas soap exclusively for Hui people. The process is not too different from what you make, but my molds and colors are more varied and flamboyant." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Besides soaps and scented soaps, she also used rice water, white vinegar, flour, flower pollen dye, etc., to concoct two different shampoos, made face cleansers from aloe juice and milk, featuring a wide variety and styles. If made in one pot, it would be just one flavor; essentially, one pot one flavor. She labeled each of the samples she gave away, with clear names and usage instructions, which were almost a month’s supply.

Almost every sample Shui Yixuan picked up and pinched between his fingers, with various scents mixed, confounding his sense of smell but clearing his sight.

All along, he thought Jiang Xue was an independent girl. He also knew she was self-taught, with strong learning abilities, but he hadn’t expected her to be able to develop so many useful products, which was amazing: "How did you come up with these?"

"Being familiar with the medicinal properties of each raw material makes it possible; actually, it’s nothing. One for cleansing, one for moisturizing, women love to make themselves look white, tender, and fragrant. Many medicinal materials can achieve this; I just need to shape them into convenient forms for use. I’ve seen head ointment; it’s too greasy. Every time after use, a thorough wash is required, which is quite tortuous."
