Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 257 Bath Beans and Soap

After a while, Red Sleeves came in with a few wooden boxes that looked very beautiful on the outside, put them in front of Cao Yi, and when he leaned over with the boxes, he winked at Cao Yi mischievously, and Cao Yi pretended to glare at her viciously. The latter turned around and sat back to Yu Youwei and their group.

Cao Yi got up and took a plate of braised duck cooked food from the table, and when Red Sleeves saw Cao Yi's actions, he asked the rough maid below to bring a basin of water, and Cao Yi cast an approving look at Red Sleeves' tacit understanding. Then he walked up to Minyue and Pixing, opened the wooden box containing Huayu soap, handed it over, and said, "Miss Minyue, Miss Pixing, you can take a look at this, I don't know if you know each other." ”

Min Yue took the wooden box handed over by Cao Yi, and then Lian Xing also leaned over his head, and there were four items of different colors in the box, namely pink, light blue, light green and bright yellow, each of which was also depicted with different patterns: Gao Jie Aoxue, Deep Valley Fragrance, Qing Ya Bo and Ling Shuang Elegant Four Pictures, facing the four plants of Ying Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum...... Whether it is the color or the pattern on it, it looks very elegant, Min Yue and Lian Xing both lowered their heads, and the good-looking Joan nose shook slightly, and sniffed slightly, because when I saw it just now, there were always a few good aromatic fragrances coming to my nose, and now it is determined that it is emanating from these four blocks of different colors.

Cao Yi smiled and looked at the actions of Min Yue and Min Xing, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, good-looking people are good-looking no matter what they do, just the simple action of bowing their heads and sniffing lightly just now, made by these two people, especially Min Yue, are all amorous and charming.

Min Yue raised her head at this time and asked suspiciously, "Gongzi Cao, are these four things incense or used to make incense sachets?" There is a faint aromatic smell from afar, which smells good. ”

Cao Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "No, this can actually be said to be an upgraded version of the bath bean." ”

"Bath beans?" Min Yue had a slight flush on her face, after all, bath beans are a thing for bathing and washing hair, which is a relatively ** thing, and the two of them are different from men and women at this time, so openly discussing bathing is still taboo and shameful in this era. Cao Yi looked at Min Yue, who was ruddy and peachy at this time, and sighed secretly in his heart: "People are still simple at this time, they can blush when they say that they can take a bath with soap, unlike the society they have crossed over, every time they chat with female classmates at night, basically everyone will tell themselves that they are going to take a bath, and the content of such ** will be told to themselves, it can be seen that they all want to be closer to themselves...... Hey, what the hell am I...... ...... with nowhere to put it Glamorous! ”

Cao Yi hurriedly restrained the cranky thoughts that emanated from his heart, and with a smile on his face that he thought was handsome, he said lightly: "Yes, in fact, these four things are called soap, but."

The function is the same as that of bath beans, and the effect is much better than that of bath beans, because these four pieces are made with the theme of the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, so they are also called flower language soap. ”

Min Yue and Ren Xing both had curious looks on their faces, "That should be very expensive, right?" ”

The reason why Min Yue asked this is because in this era, if the bath beans want to get better and taste more fragrant, the materials of the general formula will be very luxurious, and in the case of the bath beans used by ordinary rich and noble people, various precious ingredients will be added to it, such as cloves, agarwood, green wood incense, peach blossoms, stalactite powder, pearls, Shu water flowers, papaya flowers...... Musk, etc., and even some are ground together with jade shavings to make fine powder, and then mixed with soybean powder to make bath beans, which shows how expensive bath beans are.

Since Cao Yi said that this thing called "soap" has a better effect than bath beans, and he smelled it just now, the fragrance is indeed more fragrant than bath beans, so it is natural to think that the price must be more expensive than bath beans. She didn't know that with the technology of distillation, purification and concentration of floral fragrance, the fragrance of each piece of soap would be several times more fragrant than that of bath beans, but the price was less than one percent of the expensive bath beans. A piece of soap, plus labor, various raw materials, site fees, and packaging boxes, the cost is only more than 100 yuan, but it is indeed sold for one or two silvers, that is, a thousand yuan, which can almost be said to be nine times the net profit. But compared to the price of a small box of dozens of taels of silver at every turn, it is already very cheap.

Cao Yi shook his head and didn't speak, but pointed to the soap and said with a smile: "Miss Minyue, I want you to experience the cleaning effect of this soap, is it okay?" ”

Min Yue didn't know what Cao Yi said about experiencing the cleaning effect, so she thought it should be washing your hands or something...... Surely it won't be to let yourself take a shower and wash your hair now...... Thinking of this, two more blushes appeared on her face.

However, Cao Yi didn't notice the shame on her face, and after signaling the other party to stretch out her hand, she suddenly sprinkled the soup of braised duck on her pair of jade hands, and at this time, her white and tender hands were all drenched with black oil...... It also exudes the greasy taste of the marinated pork contained in the sauce. As a slight cleanliness habit, Min Yue was slightly open at this time, her brows were furrowed tightly, and she looked at Cao Yi with an incredible and a little annoyed look, she couldn't figure out why Cao Yi, who had always been polite before, was making such a ...... now Such an impudent thing.

Even the pity star on the side looked at Cao Yi with the same incredible eyes, and looked at her young lady nervously, afraid that her young lady would suddenly turn her face, you must know that she knows very clearly that her young lady has a habit of cleanliness, not to mention this greasy and dirty marinade, usually even the tea soup will be cleaned immediately when it touches the body, but now it is marinade...... Even if there is the best bean bath, it must be washed at least three or four times before it can be washed clean......

Yu Youwei in the distance looked at her with a strange look, the scene that is happening now, why wasn't she treated by Cao Yi like this at the beginning, and then she was invited as the spokesperson of soap in this way...... Yu Youwei looked at Minyue with a look as if she had seen her former self, and she was thoughtful in her heart.

Cao Yi observed the expressions on the faces of Min Yue and Lian Xing and knew what these two people were thinking, after all, he had done this kind of thing in order to sell his soap before, and even Yu Youwei, who was sitting next to him now, did the same at the beginning, thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Yu Youwei, who also happened to look at him at this time, both of them knew what they were thinking about each other, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

"Miss Minyue, don't be anxious, I just let you deeply experience the cleaning power of this flower language soap, you can now take out a piece of soap from it, apply it evenly on your hands, and then clean it in this basin, you can feel its magic."

Min Yue half-convinced picked out the pink soap from the wooden box, and according to Cao Yi's words, began to clean it, and as she washed it, the expression on her face became more and more surprised.

She didn't understand Cao Yi's behavior before, and then she thought that Cao Gongzi had already said that he would please experience the cleaning effect of the soap, but she felt that no matter how good the effect was, it should be a little better than the best bath beans, not to mention washing it three or four times, at least twice to completely remove the greasy on your hands. It's the kind of two washes that take a while apart. In this way, at least for about an hour, my hands will be a little greasy, so I will feel a little nervous when I think about it.

However, when she washed it with this soap, with the production of foam, she could feel the changes on her hands, at the beginning when there was foam on her hands, it was silky and silky, but it was different from the slippery of the oil, but after the foam on her hands was washed, she could no longer feel slippery, including the oil juice had been completely washed, after taking the dry silk scarf handed over by Guo Caoyi and wiping it dry, although the skin of her hands was a little astringent, it was very dry, and you could smell the fragrance emitted from it far away.

Min Yue looked at her hands in surprise, and then looked at Cao Yi, who was looking at him with a smile, "This ......"

"This is the cleaning effect of soap, and it is not only for washing hands, bathing, washing hair, and even washing clothes, you can use this, and the effect is much better than bath beans......

Min Yue sniffed the fragrance on her hands with her nose slightly, and thought in her heart, in this way, after bathing with this soap, her body will exude a fragrance......

"Miss Minyue, what do you think would happen if I sold this soap in Yangzhou?" Cao Yi asked with a smile.
