Amago no Miko

Yonglu 3 (1560) Early May Izumo Tsukishan Toda Castle

Shit shitter....

Shit, shit, shit, shit...

"Princess, how are you?

It is a ball that washes hands with prototype soap.It is bubbly and dull.Yeah, this is probably the solid soap of the previous life.It was unexpected that it took more than half a month for it to solidify properly.

Maybe there's a better way to do it.There seems to be no choice but to pile up improvements and wait for them to come back.Do you want to compromise this time?This will be the best I can do at the moment.

"Yeah, looks like you've passed.Good job, Kanosuke!

"Haha! Thank you, and happier, if you follow the instructions of Princess Yu, I will realize that it is thanks to Princess Yu."

"Deer Nosuke would be proud that this soap would not have been finished without someone who would have moved even if I had ordered it."

"Hahaha!

Yeah, Kanosuke is as tough as ever.I appointed Kanosuke Yamanaka as the head of the soap prototype, who was still young and not in an important post.I'm Kazunosuke Kamei now.Just a month after I started prototyping soap, I was finally able to finish my soap.

I finally told you, it might be fast enough if it was completed in a month or so.Well, I suppose it's a big deal that I knew what soap was.

Some people had their hands rough enough to know if the alkaline component was too strong in the middle of prototyping, but they managed to complete the prototype at a level that could be released safely to the world as a product.Incidentally, I applied horse oil to someone whose hands became rough.

There is already soap in Japan in this era.It is a luxury product because it is imported from the Nanbarn, so it is rare and valuable.Even the Nanbarians think it's equivalent to the same weight of silver.

For example, one is a little 100 g of soap for 30 cents of silver and about 3 cents of copper coin.In other words, it turns into 3,000 sentences, so I don't think the Nanbarians can stop laughing.Well, it's too expensive and the buyers are limited, and it looks like the spare soap the barbarian sailors brought in personally.

Silver spills are hardly harmful, though, because they do not go largely as trade.The Nanbarians also want silver to pop, so they must be personally confined to distributing a small amount of soap.

Besides,

First, I'll try the washroom in the castle.

"Great lady, don't you have a lot to make right away?

"If you try using it for a certain period of time and you don't get rough hands or rough skin, then it's not too late to make real soap."

I see.

And I want to sell this soap at a price that even the general public can buy.Is it specifically about 20 sentences?At this stage, the cost excluding the cost of experiments and development is about 10 sentences per soap, so the selling price is 20 sentences.

In modern times, it is 2,000 yen soap.Premium soap, huh? Still, I pride myself on the price of conscience because it is 1/150 of the price that the Nanbarians climbed.It is also said that it cannot be sold to ordinary people unless the price is cheaper.

However, the better the hygiene, the more lives that will be saved, the more profitable it is.Well, you said too much about profitability.I think it will be profitable enough because it is twice the cost of sales.

I think it's still somewhat expensive, but if soap is infiltrated into the general public and is made in large quantities, we should expect production costs to drop slightly and prices to be affordable.Ultimately, it could be lowered to about five sentences.

However, there are also limitations to mass production in handicrafts, so I think distribution at lower prices will be carried over after the industrial revolution.Soap was around 100 yen or 150 yen in the 21st century.Well, on the contrary, I'm impressed that it makes a lot of money.

"First of all, I'll distribute the soap to a part of the territory for free."

"You're giving it away for free?

"If I don't let the people understand that soap is a convenient and beautiful thing, I don't think it will sell that way even if I sell it."

"You might be right about that."

Ask Hirose Village and Ishihara Village, which are also castle towns of Tsukiyama Toda Castle, and Furukawa Village, which has hot spring baths, to try out the soap for free.Ah, I would like to give it to Taketsuki Taisha Shrine and Tamazuku Onsen.

Therefore, if the clean dirt falls off and becomes reputable, it should become a gapogapo wafer state.Would you like Maori to sell the soap method and make it if it doesn't catch up with Neko for a while?

Besides, maybe you should try making a die or something with a fragrance.

"Is it fragrance?Sure, it smells a little hard to make with horse oil. "

"Yeah, don't you think it would sell well if you mixed other scents, whether it's horse oil, sesame seeds or vegetable seeds?

There were various smelly soaps in the future, so I think I can make them even in this era if I want to make them.

"The smell is better, but it seems to feel good even if I use it!

"That's right!

"But, my dear.Does the scent mix?

Um, speaking of die, would you like to mix the simmered broth?

But then, I also feel that the broth becomes like an impurity in the soap.Also, I feel like the fragrance is going to fly at the stage of simmering.Is it correct to remove the oil from the die and mix it with oil?If the oil is mixed with each other, it seems okay.

Speaking of which, Aroma Oil was said to be fragrance oil and essential oils, and in this era it was treated as a super luxury product.Well, I'm not interested in perfumes or anything.But if I use the Nanbari distiller I bought in Hakata, I think I can make perfume oil.

Yes, distillers had already entered Japan in this era.Shochu is also distilled in Ryukyu and Satsuma.Therefore, we are at the stage of prototyping a distiller that mimics a barbaric distiller, even if it is not possible to make a distiller.

If the number of distillers is complete, I think we can make disinfectant by distilling the liquor twice or three times.Mixing with seaweed ash may help restore the red penis.

Then you can simply make a strong alcoholic drink.I don't want to drink alcohol yet, but I plan to produce distilled liquor because when I grow up, I will drink to the extent that I get along with you, and it is better to drink delicious liquor anyway.

This distilled liquor is likely to please the soldiers who drink it.You can only produce a small amount at first, and maybe you can give it to ants as a reward.

I missed the conversation.

"Well, anyway, making new things is a series of trials and mistakes."

That's true, too.

Even if you were a modern man who lived to enjoy the benefits of modern civilization to the fullest without thinking about it, you would never have made it.Unless you're a technician.Conversely, craftsmen of this era are much better than me.

Perhaps, with the exception of some modern engineers, they are more degraded than humans of our time.As civilizations grow richer, people will lose the power to survive.

I don't think modern people are going to be satisfied with a flint of flint.It's troublesome to light a fire with flint.I can do it for the time being, but it sucks.Until then, I can't help it if I haven't used it.

Ah, considering that, there may be a demand for cotton that absorbs oil into the cotton and is used to ignite fires.

You said the old man was good when it came to inventing a mother!
