Chapter 4
Grandma Melanie had actually acquired these skills after who knows how many experiments and concocting of medicine making and potioneering . While John seemed like a natural at doing these things .
He even improvised on some of the practical skills used for medicine concocting and potioneering .
After two hours were completed
at 11 am it was time for john to go on Soap Factory and meet other people,Grandma melanie also allowed him to access middle pharmacy books from next day onwards as she determined that he didn't need basic pharmacy and potion books so there was no problem . he then left for the soap factory site .
After 20 minutes he arrived at the site .
people there were already waiting . Sam,jay and others were there and were having some serious discussions .
it seems they were talking about agricultural yields this time and there were problems this time . it seems after repeated use the soil it had become less fertile and hence lower yields .
People mostly sowed wheat as it was the staple food of people on this continent in Arkon .
After John arrived they stopped discussing about yields and instead focused on the present issue .
The place here was quite big it was around 3,500 sq . meters which was more than enough . there was a warehouse in the middle which could be used as a factory and there were 30 more people apart from jay and sam . there was also a small workhouse near the Warehouse .
These 30 people included arnold and gordon . all the people bought here were young and had age ranging from 16-21 years of age .
It was good aswell since young people were quite trustworthy .
John was then introduced by Sam and Jay to others . They were already informed that their employer was a young men so they didn't show any surprise .
Sam then turned to people and said "This is John, he will be the one instructing you guys on what to do and how to operate this place . your salary will be 50 coppers per day as agreed before . i hope all of you will do your work sincerity and make north-frontier town proud . "
Jay and others had already bought all the necessary materials here at the factory site .
And Hence started the Rose Soap factory in North-frontier town for the first time .
Slowly and steadily John allocated all the required work in 5 batches of 6 people . he would not have to worry for the time being about people spilling the secrets .
He had already made lye one of important ingredients for making the soap .
and Hence for the 2 two days he distributed the processes which included using the molds,pots for heating and mixing the ingredients and then waiting for solidification to these 5 groups .
And then 3 types of soaps were finally made,
1 . Toilet soaps made using animal fats . these soap used local sweet and acidic flavors which suited soaps . (510 pieces)
2 . Bathing soaps made using vegetable oils with 4 flavors of Orange,Rose,Strawberry,Cherry these
fruits had similar smell to these items mentioned above . (1120 pieces)
3 . Soaps used for washing clothes . (521 pieces)
it seemed that an extra 150 soaps were made,well it was good news to John anyways .
After successful making of the soaps he decided to give them a bonus of 20 coppers on the fourth day . to which everyone one was cheerful .
during these days he always practiced his martial arts techniques . after refining his body he didnt had to face the same problems which he did on the first day .
now he didn't seem fragile nor did he seem muscular . what you call was a normal build,
during these four days he always visited Grandma Melanie and during these 4 four she became sure that she had dug a whole bucked of gem for herself after witnessing his talent for herself .
Because she was sure that he previously didn't know anything about middle pharmacy books which she had written herself based on her theories long ago and potioneering so she became sure he didnt know about middle pharmacy from earlier . what shocked her even more was how he also improved some of the potions and medicines of her own books aswell .
However after watching his pace of learning she was very shocked in a sense that it became very hard for her to believe that someone could memorize and understand so much information in such a short amount of time .
During these 4 four days he learnt 3/4 of all the middle pharmacy books while also making medicines,potions and doing the personal experiments . almost all the experiments were right on mark .
