Chapter 61 VIP Experience
(Fortunately, I called, so update it quickly!)
Cheng Yaojin is preparing to try Zhang Chao's soap on site.
Soon a young maid brought a silver basin, which had half a basin of warm water in it. Zhang Chao walked to the basin unintentionally. He smiled and nodded to the maid, then put his hands in the basin soaked, then picked up the soap from the soap box and applied it on his hands a few times.
Put down the soap, Zhang Chao rubbed it with both hands, and soon, bubbles appeared on his hands.
A stream of fragrant fragrance spread as he spread, and the soap bubbles on Zhang Chao's hands turned yellow and black. After rubbing them casually for a few more times, Zhang Chao put his hands into a basin and rubbed them.
At this time, another maid brought a silver basin of clear water, Zhang Chao cleaned his hands again, took the towel handed by the maid and wiped his hands clean.
General Hou Qun of the chess and cavalry gathered and grabbed Zhang Chao's hand and touched him like a blind man touching his bones.
“So clean.”
Another general of the chariot and cavalry came over, and he stared at Zhang Chao's flawless hands with his eyes, and even lowered his head and sniffed a few times.
"It smells so good."
Zhang Chao felt a little disgusted.
"Oh, good stuff, it's better than the face-washing medicine I used at home. My wife used it or given it from the palace, and it's not as good as this one."
The person who spoke was Duke Ren from the Qin Palace and Liu Hongji, the General of the Right Guard. This man was also the best friend of the Qin King. He was the same as Li Shimin when he was out. He was lying on the same bed. Although he did not serve in the Qin Palace, he was also a member of the Qin King.
Liu Hongji was considered a veteran of Li Tang. He took the initiative to join Li Yuan in Taiyuan and was always Li Shimin's person. Li Yuan and Li Shimin often rewarded Liu Hongji, bath beans, facial fat, and fragrant medicine.
But Liu Hongji discovered that the soap that Qin Shubao's adopted son Zhang Chao took out was better than what was given in the palace in the past.
Liu Hongji knew that the incense medicine given in the palace had used many good things. He knew that there was one, which was to use seventeen flavors such as lilac, agarwood, green wood fragrance, peach blossom, stalactite powder, pearls, jade chips, Shu water flower, papaya flower, nai fragrance, pear blossom, red lotus, plum blossom, cherry blossom, white hollyhock flower, spiral summer flower, musk, etc., grind the flowers and real treasures into powder, and then grind them with soybean powder thousands of times.
This kind of incense is used to wash your face and hands, and you can also take a bath, and you can carry incense on your body after washing.
But compared with Zhang Chao's soap, it is far behind.
At least, the fragrance medicines in the palace are not as strong as Zhang Chao's soap to remove dirt, nor are they able to leave so many fragrances after washing.
"I'll try it too."
Liu Hongji took the soap without hesitation and asked the maid to get clean water again. He couldn't wait to soak the soap in the basin and then wiped it directly on his face.
"Duke Ren Guo, the best way to use soap is to apply it on your hands to make bubbles, and then rub the bubbles on your face, and it is best not to rub them for too long." Zhang Chao quickly reminded.
Anyone who has used soap knows that the oil removal ability of soap is extremely strong, so the face will feel tight after using soap. However, it won’t take long to make the face naturally recover. However, if you apply soap directly to the face, it will make the tightness longer.
However, Liu Hongji didn't care. Not only did he apply soap directly to his face, he even wiped it with a mission. He felt that he was not making soap, but was grinding the floor.
After applying it for a while, my face was covered with white soap.
"Old Liu, rub it with some force!" Cheng Yaojin shouted.
Liu Hongji was really hard, rubbing his eyes with his iron hands with his hard hands, and his face was covered with bubbles.
Zhang Chao was really worried that Liu Hongji would rub his face off. He was also very curious about Duke Ren. A few days ago, when Zhang Chao checked the computer, he specifically checked some information about the generals of the early Tang Dynasty, especially the powerful man who was later a twenty-four heroes of Lingxiao Pavilion.
Liu Hongji was also a hero of Lingxiao Pavilion, ranked 11th, and he was also a hero of 36 Yuan in Taiyuan. This is the hard-core Li Shimin's confidant. This guy is also a descendant of the official. He is only in his early thirties. His father was the governor of the Sui Dynasty. In his early years, he was unruly and loved to make friends with chivalrous people the most, and did not work for childbirth. Later, he used his father as his servant and followed Yang Guang to conquer Liaodong.
As a result, he was delayed halfway and knew that he should be executed according to the law, so he deliberately slaughtered the plowing ox, and then arrested the government and imprisoned, avoiding going to Liaodong. This was similar to another surnamed Liu. Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, also delayed the plowing ox, so he killed the white snake uprising. Liu Hongji was smarter and deliberately killed the plowing ox, and then went to jail, but escaped death.
Later, Li Yuan redeems him out of prison, and since then he becomes the hard-core Li family thug.
Such a guy has a high status in the court. Although he was captured in Qianshuiyuan and the two battles of Liu Wuzhou, he still has a strong position. Compared to Qin Qiong and others, he is only the generals of the Li Shimin's palace, Liu Hongji is already one of the generals of the Twelve Guards.
If you can get a better relationship with Liu Hongji, there will be endless benefits.
After rubbing Liu Hongji for more than a day, he finally felt willing to wash his face.
He didn't use a towel, so he soaked his face in a silver basin and continued to rub his hands.
The clear water in the silver basin quickly turned turbid, muddy and black.
"Wow, it feels so comfortable and refreshing. I feel like my skin is thinner." Liu Hongji laughed and wiped his face with a towel.
There was a roar next to him.
"Of course, you don't even look at the water in the basin. Duke Ren, you may not have washed your face in a few months, right?" several Dukes and County Dukes smiled.
Liu Hongji had already wiped his face at this time. Hearing this, he looked down and saw that his basin of washing water was as dark as dyed ink.
"This...is my face wash? I don't believe it, you must have poured in."
"cut!"
"Get the bronze mirror." Liu Hongji shouted, and the maid immediately presented the bronze mirror. The bronze mirror was polished very smoothly. Although it was far inferior to the glass mirror, it was not bad.
Liu Hongji looked left and right at the bronze mirror, and his hands were stroking his face from time to time.
"Wow, I feel that my old face is tight and my skin is much smoother and more delicate. This soap is indeed a good thing. Could it be that this thing is brought by the Hu merchants in the Western Regions?"
Compared with the current fragrance medicines and facial fat, Zhang Chao's soap is actually much cheaper than the cost, but it is better to add a key thing, hot alkali.
Zhang Chao's soap only adds a few more things than his soap.
His soap was neither pearl nor jade shavings nor so many flowers. His soap was mainly made of lard, soybean oil residue, rosin and rosin. In addition, some salt was added and some essence extracted from the flowers.
The vegetable oil residue Zhang Chao uses soybean oil residue, also known as oil feet. Does animal oil use lard, or poor oil such as pig net oil, pig pancreas, etc., and the more expensive material is still hot alkali.
Nowadays, ash stone is more expensive, so it is also a great cost to extract hot alkali, while salt is cheap.
But even so, the soap made by Zhang Chao is still incredible compared to the facial fat scent medicine of today's era.
After all, these facial fat and fragrance medicines from the Tang Dynasty were more like health products, with various luxurious materials, which were not expensive and strange.
However, the Tang Dynasty's fragrance medicine and facial fat, even the imperial court used by the palace, was far less useful than Zhang Chao's soap, and even the fragrance was not as good as that.
"Come in another basin of water, and I, Lao Cheng, will try it too."
Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to pick up the soap. He was the same as Liu Hongji. He took the soap and wiped the wet face with the soap, and used the same force as wiping the floor. Then he rubbed his hands for a long time, and the foam flew away.
Waiting for Cheng Yaojin to wash his face.
Liu Hongji laughed happily on the side, smiling very happily, and his smile made his face tense again.
"Okay, Cheng Yaojin, I just said I haven't washed my face for three months. I think you haven't washed your face for half a year. Look at the basin of water, it's as dark as ink."
Liu Hongji smiled fifty steps a hundred steps, but he was very happy.
Cheng Yaojin looked at his basin and found that the basin of clear water was already dark.
"Mirror."
Looking left and right in front of the mirror, Cheng Yaojin was satisfied. His face was so clean and smooth. He was not greasy at all, and his skin was not dry and rough in the middle of winter.
"Good thing! I used this soap and felt extremely cool. I became more energetic. I felt like I was eighteen years younger." Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"Try this soap for me too!" After seeing Duke Ren Liu Hongji and Duke Su Guo Cheng Yaojin used the soap, they both praised and praised it, and the others were also moved.
"Come on water!"
The Cheng family's maids suddenly became busy, and the kitchen had to ask people to go to the well to fetch water. The Cheng family's silver basins were not enough, so they had to use copper basins to make up the numbers.
Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others all competed to try it out.
All those who have used it are said to be fine, and the face feels extremely refreshing.
When Niu Xiu Niu Jinda, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, Wu Guang, Wu Heita, Li Junxian and other generals who had joined the Tang Dynasty from Wagang to join the Tang Dynasty, the face washing conference at Cheng Yaojin's mansion had already arrived.
Almost everyone came to experiment with Zhang Chao's soap for a while.
Zhang Chao also timely said that this experimental soap was his great invention. The formula was passed on to him by his master, Master Sanzang, and Master Sanzang was developed after communicating with the Medicine King Sun Simiao.
In short, a Sanzang master who no one has heard of is not yet strong enough, but added Sun Simiao, the most genius medicine king of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the soap immediately became taller.
Sun Simiao is not yet known as the King of Medicine, and should have been in his early forties at this time. However, Sun was known as a child prodigy when he was young. Later, he studied medicine at a young age and became famous very early. His reputation reached the ears of Emperor Wen of Sui. He had also called him to be a doctorate in the court, but he did not accept it. Although Sun had never been an official, he had a very high reputation in the folk Xinglin, but he often practiced medicine in the world and had uncertain whereabouts.
Therefore, even if Zhang Chao is pursuing Sun Simiao's name, it doesn't matter.
"Wenyuan, this soap is really useful. I'll order a hundred yuan." Liu Hongji was the first to order, "I'll ask someone to go to your workshop to pick it up later. I'll use this soap to bathe in the evening, hahaha!"
"I also want one hundred yuan!" Although Cheng Yaojin is his own, he is not willing to be outdone.
For a moment, the crowd was enthusiastic. The guests of Chengfu were all very satisfied after trying the soap and had to order them one by one.
