I'm a scumbag?impossible! [Quick Transmigration]

After working for ten days, it finally came to the ten-day break. During this time, Li Ziyu was very busy. The emperor summoned him twice, and Feng Shangshu even sent him around.

Li Ziyu deeply felt that he had to make a suggestion to Shangshu Qin, that the fight for welfare for officials should start with the holiday.

He doesn't extravagantly ask for two days off every five days, but just one day off every five days. Some careless adults don't like to take a bath, and they still have lice on their bodies, so they only remember to take a good bath when they are on vacation.

He remembered that Wang Anshi was a sloppy wit, and if it wasn't his wife or his cousin, he would probably be disgusted to death.This is still in the case that people in the Song Dynasty were on holiday for one third of the year.

They also had those who didn't like cleanliness in the Liang Dynasty. Would the emperor not be an eyesore?Just a few more holidays can also promote consumption.

Li Ziyu took Qingzhu out of the house. Today he mainly wanted to inspect the makeup shop in the Hou Mansion. He had already thought about it before. To make money, he either took the high-end route, earning money from rich and powerful businessmen, or took the route of benefiting the people, with small profits but quick turnover. .But no matter what class it is, women and children always earn the best money.

Considering the management of the Hou Mansion, he felt that essential oils were a good choice, but he had to go to Yanranxuan to see the specific situation.

When he and Lele first got married, his mother-in-law gave him two shops as a gift, but although he accepted the deed, he did not accept the actual management and management rights, and his mother-in-law was still in charge. We should treat each other sincerely.

Before the carriage reached the place, Qingzhu said outside the carriage: "Uncle, there seems to be some trouble ahead."

Li Ziyu had already heard the movement, he opened the curtain of the car, and saw a few people dressed as servants blocking the door of Yan Ranxuan with two maids guarding them, making a lot of noise, and at a glance, he knew they were looking for trouble.

Li Ziyu immediately called to stop the car, Qingzhu saw this, and cleared the way in front, so that the uncle came to the front smoothly, the shopkeeper Wei Xin saw him, his eyes lit up, Li Ziyu made a signal, and the other party immediately attached to his ear and told the matter The cause and effect of the incident are clearly explained.

It turned out that the young lady of this family used the face powder bought in their shop, and for some reason, not only did she not turn white, but she turned darker than her original skin color, so the mother of the family came here to seek justice.

Li Ziyu said in a low voice: "Please come in these few people, and close the store first." After saying this, he walked into the store first.

Shopkeeper Wei hurriedly responded with a respectful "Yes".

Those onlookers saw that there was no excitement to watch, and gradually dispersed.

The old woman was arguing outside just now, but she stopped in front of Li Ziyu. Li Ziyu adhered to the principle that the customer is God, and said softly, "Did you bring the fragrance powder?"

The woman took out a box of incense powder from her purse, which was the product of Yanranxuan. Li Ziyu took it and handed it directly to shopkeeper Wei, who then handed it to the perfumer in the shop. He took it and checked it. There was a hint of doubt on his face, and he took out another box from the cabinet, his complexion became a bit ugly, and he nodded after comparing.

Everyone in the store kept staring at him. Seeing his reaction, everyone knew that there was something wrong with the powder.

Li Ziyu asked the woman directly, "How is your young lady doing now?"

That old woman is not ignorant, their family is here to seek justice, not to seek trouble, so she said: "Miss is fine after cleansing, but the face powder from your shop is useless. Several maids in the mansion tried it, and it was the same situation."

"Treasurer Wei, go and get the VIP card, and choose a good makeup and rouge as an apology." Li Ziyu ordered.

Then he said to the woman: "This time it is indeed our shop's fault. Please forgive me. Fortunately, your lady has a lot of blessings and is healthy. Although these things are not worth anything, from now on, you only need to hold this card. Come here, you are the guest of Yan Ranxuan, please accept it!"

The woman thought that it would be good to get compensation, after all, there are people behind her to open a shop on this street, so she never expected to get a VIP card.

You must know that with this card, you can not only enjoy the discount, but also send a copy to the house as soon as there is a new product in the store. It is undoubtedly the most affordable for people like them, so the woman took the things and left happily. .

When the person left, Li Ziyu looked at the perfumer and said in a deep voice, "Tell me! What's going on?"

The perfumer's surname is Mei Mingze. Although he is a master in the store, he was also bought by the Hou family. Because his father was convicted and brought trouble to the family, he became an official slave who was sold. If it wasn't for the Hou family , now he doesn't know where he will be exiled, so he is also extremely loyal to the Marquis Mansion, now that something like this happened, he is naturally ashamed.

Just now he has been checking what is wrong with the powder, and now he has a clue, when he heard the inquiry, he immediately replied: "Report to my lord, there is something wrong with the lead powder inside."

Li Ziyu's attention was suddenly attracted by the "lead powder". Recalling what he knew, he sweated profusely: what is a problem with lead powder, and the use of lead powder in it is a big problem, okay!

At this time, he suddenly thought of words such as "washing out the lead" and "beautiful women are easy to age", only to realize that he had ignored the problem of lead in ancient cosmetics.

We must know that lead, as a toxic heavy metal, is very destructive to various organs and tissues of the human body.Make-up with lead powder can make the skin look fair, soft and radiant, but if things go on like this, it will cause dull and yellow complexion, dry and cracked skin, hair loss and dry hair, and tooth decay, which will cause great harm to health and appearance. The devastation is really a big killer for the unlucky girl.

Seeing my uncle's changing expression, Mei Ze was shocked, and quickly said: "Don't worry, my uncle, this batch of powder has only sold five boxes, I will immediately send people to various prefectures to make amends and recall them." Said Looking at Li Ziyu, when Li Ziyu nodded, he immediately discussed with the shopkeeper and arranged the matter.

The next thing is to go back to the source. Their raw materials all have fixed purchase channels. This time, the incense powder was handmade by his apprentice. Just ask him to know which link made the mistake.

Li Ziyu just sat and waited for the news, thinking about things by the way.

The fat powder additive he is familiar with is talcum powder, and it can also be replaced by cornstarch, tapioca starch or some powders extracted from flowers and plants.

Talc is actually a common mineral. In later generations, unscrupulous merchants even added talc powder to white flour, which shows its rich storage. If it is talc powder, just be careful not to mix asbestos when adding it.

But the more ideal is of course plant starch. Thinking of this, he thought of baby powder again. His son is being taken care of well now, but no matter how meticulous the care of the child is, wrapping in diapers every day will inevitably damage the delicate skin.Heat rash is unavoidable in summer, and in order to prevent his son from suffering in the future, it is imperative to make some talcum powder.

What's more, due to the limited environment, the low-level people have a very high infant mortality rate, and some of them are caused by infection and ulceration caused by rashes.

It’s just that there is no need to think about corn now, the plant-based honeysuckle powder is also good, and there are a lot of cassava in the south. When he thinks of cassava, he thinks of potatoes and sweet potatoes, hey!If corn and potatoes could be found, the land of the Liang Dynasty would not know how many people it could support. If not, it would have to be a big cake for the emperor.

He was thinking about things here, while shopkeeper Wei and Master Mei over there also checked things out.

Mei Ze directly brought a boy in his early teens over, and the boy knelt down with a "plop" as soon as he arrived in front of him. Li Ziyu didn't say that everyone was equal, and asked him to answer directly.

It turned out that everyone was at fault in this matter, but everyone showed some injustice.

In their shop, direct cooperative merchants regularly send lead lumps, which they will process into lead powder by themselves, and then add it to the cosmetic powder in proportion.This time, it happened that Master Mei was developing a new product, so I directly handed over the work to the young apprentice. Although this boy is only 13 years old, he has actually been following Master Mei for five years, and he is familiar with all the steps. Yes, where did you think that the lead block would be a problem?

When Li Ziyu heard this, he interrupted: "What do you mean by having a problem?"

Mei Ze explained: "The lead block sent this time was somehow mixed with carbon stone. The two are too similar. This kid is not careful, so I just~"

"Carbon stone?" Li Ziyu was immediately attracted by the word.

"The carbon stone is similar to the carbon strip, and it can also be used for writing. Some peasant women will prepare a piece and use it to draw when cutting clothes." Mei Ze thought that my uncle had never seen this commoner thing, so he explained.

Li Ziyu thought about what he said just now, which was similar to a lead block and also had the characteristics of a carbon strip. A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he thought of a kind of ore, "The carbon stone is still there, let me have a look."

The young man said repeatedly: "There are some", he hurriedly got up and went to the back to fetch them.

Li Ziyu looked at the gray-black stone in his hand, and sure enough, the carbon stone was actually graphite.

Thinking of the many characteristics of graphite, Li Ziyu couldn't help feeling excited.The most basic is to use it as a lubricant, and a certain proportion of clay can also be added to produce pencils. In addition, the fire resistance of graphite is also widely used in industrial production.

Now the Ordnance Supervisor is busy training weapons. If graphite powder is added to molten steel, the carbon content of the steel can be increased. High-carbon steel has many excellent properties, which are even better than today's Baotou steel knives.

At that time, I can give Liu Hongduo a suggestion to produce a batch of Modao and Miaodao. Although Daliang prefers crossbows and gunpowder, long knives are sharp weapons against cavalry, so how can we not give them a chance to play.

There are so many benefits of having graphite. In addition to improving the performance of the alloy, it also has heat insulation. In the future, the risk of firearm explosion will be greatly reduced. Applying molybdenum element to weapon manufacturing, Daliang may be able to dominate in ordnance.

But everything has to be done step by step. The most urgent thing is to send people to mine first. I don't know if Wang Dazhu can let go of it. After all, there are too few talents under him.

When graphite mining comes back, he will first make a set of crucibles, brackets, fixtures, and then make a few heat shields and bases, which are indispensable for research.

Li Ziyu thought about it for a while, but in fact it was just a few breaths of effort. Looking at the few people in front of him, he said softly: "Although it was an unintentional mistake this time, after all, you are not careful, and a bad one will affect everyone. Now, I will give you a chance to make up for the reputation of the shop." Looking at the expectant faces of several people, Li Ziyu continued, "Before that, Yanranxuan needs to be closed for rectification."

Shopkeeper Wei's expression became visibly depressed, and the other two were even more depressed.

Li Ziyu glanced around, and suddenly laughed softly, "Don't you think I will use this to punish you again?"

Seeing that shopkeeper Wei wanted to explain something, Li Ziyu waved his hand, "You know, that lead powder is extremely harmful to the human body."

Looking at the unbelievable expressions of the few people, Li Ziyu continued: "Some things are used by everyone, but it doesn't mean that there is no problem with them. Would I still keep money and not make money, deliberately blocking my own money? You just need to Just do as I say!"

The expressions of the few people changed again, and Nuonuo should agree.

Li Ziyu first told shopkeeper Wei, "Go and buy a batch of talc. It's best to find a place with a talc mine and buy it directly. You can find a Chinese medicine shop first or go directly to the house and ask Dr. Huo."

Talcum powder is a traditional Chinese medicine. Li Ziyu studied medical science and saw some strange medicinal materials.

As for talc ore, it is easy to distinguish. This kind of stone is translucent, light in color, and some are white. The massive ones have a fat luster, and the flaky ones have a pearly luster. The slippery feeling is obvious and the reserves are abundant. easy to find.

At that time, pollen will be used as the base, and talcum powder, mica, borneol, and medicinal materials will be added, which will definitely kill the current face powder in seconds.

After making arrangements for Dr. Huo, Li Ziyu turned to Master Mei again. I heard from my mother-in-law that you are a master of perfume, so you know "essential oil".

Mei Ze naturally knew, "A foreign businessman Xiang once brought some, and they were very popular with the ladies in Beijing."

"It's good to know, I found a few essential oil prescriptions now, you can try according to the method above." Li Ziyu said casually, but Mei Ze held the essential oil prescriptions like a treasure.

The recipe given by Li Ziyu is very detailed. Even people who don't know anything about it can make it according to the steps. What's more, Mei Ze is also an expert in this field, and his ability to draw inferences from one instance is not bad.

The method of pressing chrysanthemum essential oil, distillation of rose essential oil and immersion of peppermint essential oil is introduced in detail above. Although Mei Ze has never refined essential oil before, some steps in the process of making incense are the same, so it can be seen at once. For Fang Zi's preciousness, I am even more grateful to Li Ziyu.

"You take this prescription and study it carefully, and you may become the originator of essential oils in my Daliang Dynasty in the future."

Li Ziyu is very optimistic about the prospect of essential oils, and essential oils can not only be used as aromatherapy, but also can be taken internally and applied externally to heal the body.

Ladies and ladies must be hard to resist the elegant and sweet aroma of flower and fruit essential oil. Peppermint essential oil can not only repel insects, but also refresh the mind, and readers who want to come will also like it.

Mei Ze was agitated by what Li Ziyu said, and as soon as Li Ziyu left the shop, he started to prepare.

In the end, Mei Ze also became a generation of essential oil masters as Li Ziyu expected. His experience also added a touch of romance and fragrance to this legendary era.
