Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

…………

After returning to the study, Liu Feng flipped through the books, looking for some characteristics and identification methods of alkali mines. Since he plans to open a soap shop, some problems still need to be solved.

Among them, grease and alkali are the most difficult to find, and the best way is of course to find alkali ore.

As for the oil, Liu Feng intends to have someone experiment with peanut oil to see if it will be effective. If it doesn't work, he can only make plans after the domesticated wild boars are domesticated.

"Alkali mines mostly appear in lakes and..." Liu Feng flipped through the books and wrote on the paper with a pen, trying to express the characteristics of alkali mines in a simple description (cbac).

Mina sat at the corner of the table, dangling her legs, looking at Liu Feng with gentle eyes from time to time.

After more than half an hour...

"Mina, send someone to the underground bounty club to see if you can find the trona mine." Liu Feng took the paper he had just written, read it from the beginning to the end, and found that people in this world could understand it. Handed it to Mina.

"Okay." Mina nodded, she remembered that alkali is a part of making soap.

Liu Feng is holding the attitude of giving it a try. There should be trona in this world, but I don't know if I can find it. If I can't, I can only find something else to replace it.

"Is the young master planning to mass-produce soap?" Mina asked curiously.

"Yeah, we are short of alkali right now. If we can find a large amount of alkali, we can mass produce it." Liu Feng nodded. If the soap is popularized, he can earn a fortune.

Mina nodded. She didn't know much about these things. She hoped that the underground bounty club could find the alkali mine that the young master was talking about.

"By the way, young master, Wei Ya asked me to remind you before leaving that tomorrow is the start of the recitation competition." Mina remembered something and said to Liu Feng.

"Okay." Liu Feng leaned on the back of the chair, replied lazily, and stretched.

Mina came behind Liu Feng, put her hands on his shoulders, and pressed them down.

"Have you found a suitable place to build a vegetable greenhouse?" Liu Feng raised his head and looked at the cat-eared lady who was looking down at him.

"Not yet, I have stepped up efforts to find people." Mina's cheeks were flushed, but she did not avoid Liu Feng's sight.

"Well, let them serve snacks. The vegetable greenhouse project can't be delayed any longer. We can't finish the work before winter comes. There will be no fresh vegetables to eat this winter." Liu Feng reached out and touched the long hair of the cat-eared lady.

"Okay." Mina replied softly.

"Have the nobles who cooperated with us left?" Liu Feng remembered calling those nobles to come over last time.

Otherwise, when the dwarves come, the linen is not enough to trade, and it will be a bit embarrassing.

"Let's go, as long as the invitations are delivered, they are already on their way." Mina nodded. She just got the news from the Security Department yesterday.

During this period of time, some nobles who were close to the surrounding area came to Xiyang City first, and it would take a few days for those who were far away to catch up.

"Let people keep an eye on it. If those nobles have cooperation with the inland, they should send the information back in advance." Liu Feng nodded. Since he came, it means that the linen that Aoli Dwarf Kingdom wanted has been obtained.

He estimated that Darlene and the others will be back in a little more than one month, so they have to celebrate at that time.

"Yes." Mina replied quickly.

Thinking of celebrating, it reminded Liu Feng that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the half-lying body sat upright, and now it will soon be autumn, which means that the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away, and maybe the Mid-Autumn Festival can be Liu Feng still attaches great importance to moving to another world and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in another world.

"Mina, how about we add another Mid-Autumn Festival in Xiyang City?" Liu Feng asked softly.

"Master, what is Mid-Autumn Festival?" Mina asked suspiciously.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is an important festival in my hometown. On this day, we have to eat moon cakes and admire the moon..." Liu Feng's black eyes have memories. I spent it alone.

But this year is destined to be different, I am no longer alone.

"Hey, it's a festival in the young master's hometown, mooncakes? Enjoy the moon?" Mina's blue eyes sparkled with curiosity, what are mooncakes? Could it be a cake in the shape of the moon?

"You'll know this when the time comes, mooncakes are delicious." Liu Feng said sarcastically.

There is still a long time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is enough to prepare for myself.

"Second watch, (￣▽￣). Please support."

Chapter 837 Recitation Competition.

Early the next morning, Liu Feng washed up and started to get busy in the study after breakfast. The recitation competition started in the afternoon, so there was no need to rush there.

Mina was reading the book aside, it was still the "City of Miracles", and she didn't know how many times she had read it, anyway, when she was bored, the cat-eared lady would hold this book and read it.

"Bang bang bang..." The door suddenly rang.

"Master, I'm coming in." An Li's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in~ let's go." Liu Feng said calmly.

"Crunch..."

The door was pushed open, and Nicole came in after An Li - all holding wooden boxes in their hands.

"Young master, soap is really made. I never thought soap could be made with plant ash and lard." An Li said with emotion, and put the four wooden boxes in her hand on the table.

Nicole did the same, put down the four wooden boxes in her hand, and then opened one.

This is the soap that Liu Feng made yesterday. Apart from the one made by each of the girls, there are eight pieces of soap, which are now packed in these wooden boxes.

Liu Feng picked up a piece of soap, which was only the size of an egg. It was light red in color and exuded a faint floral fragrance.

"Well, it looks pretty good, how is the cleaning effect?" Liu Feng asked as he put down the soap.

"The cleaning effect is not as good as those soaps brought by the young master, and they are not as durable as those soaps of the same size. The new ones will be used faster." Nicole said softly. She was experimenting early this morning Compare the pros and cons of the two soaps.

"Then compared to Qingbijiao, which one is better?" Liu Feng put the wooden box on the lid.

"Of course soap is easier to use. Although it is not as good as the ones brought by the young master, it is many times better than Qingbijiao." Nicole said without thinking.

"Well, that's enough. Mina can ask someone to prepare the oil first." Liu Feng nodded. As long as the soap is better than Qingbijiao, then there is nothing to worry about. If it is sold, It's sure to be a hit.

"Yes." Mina nodded, took out her notebook and wrote it down.

"By the way, when Nicole is free, you can try to use peanut oil instead of lard to see if you can make soap." Liu Feng said, remembering some conjectures yesterday, he can start experimenting.

"Okay, master." Nicole nodded. She is also planning to do this experiment. After all, lard is not so easy to get now. If peanut oil can be used instead, then it will be much easier.

"I also want to add pearl powder to the soap to see if it can have a miraculous effect of moisturizing the skin." Nicole recalled some of her own ideas yesterday, and now she is telling Liu Feng.

"This idea is fine. Let's try it. If it succeeds, this kind of soap mixed with pearl powder can be used as soap for washing the face and sold to those nobles and celebrities." Liu Feng nodded appreciatively, after all, next time If Biris comes again, she will definitely bring many pearls.
