Anyone who has ever used soap knows that soap has a strong ability to remove oil, so there will be a feeling of tightness in your hands after using soap.

Zhen Sheng rubbed very hard, his hands were full of bubbles, and Zhen Qian was really worried that Zhen Sheng would rub off the skin of his hands. Zhen Sheng was a little playful, this silky feeling was really good, which made Zhen Sheng a little reluctant to wash his hands.

But in the end, Zhen Sheng still put his hand into the basin, and the water in the basin quickly became turbid, which frightened Zhen Sheng, he didn't expect his hands to be so dirty.

"It's so comfortable, there is a cool feeling, I feel that the skin on my hands has become delicate", Zhen Sheng laughed, took a towel and wiped off the water stains on his hands.

Several elders and worshippers next to him also laughed, "Zhen Erlang is afraid that he hasn't washed his hands for a few months, right?" ”

Zhen Sheng is the second oldest generation in the Zhen family, so the elders are right, and others don't dare to call them that.

Xing's heart was extremely depressed, and he originally wanted to embarrass Zhen Qian, but he didn't expect that the soap was really a good thing, much stronger than the incense powder pancreas he often used, which made Xing's even more puzzled, did Zhen Qian give him a good thing to reconcile with himself, or did he have other plans. In the eyes of the criminal family, Zhen Qian does not look like a person who can bear it, as soon as he enters the house, he will break one leg of the criminal housekeeper, this is Zhen Qian's character who must repay him, if you want to say that Zhen Qian's revenge will be repaid, even the ghost does not believe it.

"Da Lang is too careful, I don't know what the perfume is, is it the essence transported from the Western Regions?"

The word perfume is derived from the Latin word "perfumum", which means "to penetrate the smoke". The Old Testament refers to perfume, usually referring to a fragrance formation, which is consistent with the Latin definition. Egyptian history shows that perfumes and ointments were used in bathing and after bathing. They were usually stored in elaborate containers, as evidenced by some illustrations found in ancient Egyptian tombs.

Everyone has a love for beauty, men in the Tang Dynasty use sachets, which contain agarwood, sandalwood, camphor and musk, etc., women usually use incense powder, mostly floral fragrance, there are osmanthus, gardenias, jasmine, roses, magnolias, etc., usually wash and change clothes will also be used after incense before wearing, of course, this is the life of rich people, what incense powder, incense pills, incense cakes, balms and so on There are a lot of them, there are specially used for deodorant, there are specially used for incense (except for bad breath), there are special to improve air quality, imagination is not less than the lack of later generations.

The perfume in Zhen Qian's mouth became a fragrance in the Tang Dynasty, and the main raw materials for making the fragrance were mainly flowers and other aromatic plants, so the ancients also called perfume "flower dew".

The Tang Dynasty also had its own fragrance, but unfortunately most of the top spices were controlled by merchants in the Western Regions, such as Suhexiang and chicken tongue incense, which were all imported spices. In this era, there were no French goods, and the main fragrances came from the Arab region of later generations, and the local production of spices and perfumes were the world's top at that time, and the fragrance lasted for a long time.

Some people say that the history of the world can be regarded as a history of spice trade, and in ancient times when there was no systematic science, whether it was the herbs growing on the ground, the fragrant fruits and bay leaves picked from the trees, or the perfume taken from animals, they were all pure and natural, and there was no artificial intervention in the ingredients.

This has caused the uneven distribution of spices in the world, the spices produced in the Western Regions can be sold at sky-high prices in the Central Plains, and the spices transported from the Central Plains to the Western Regions are also luxury goods, making up for the uneven distribution of spices.

The price of the perfume that was introduced to the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions was extremely expensive, a small bottle was worth several or even dozens of times, and only wealthy ladies could use it, even if the Xing clan was reluctant to use it.

"These perfumes are the recipes I got from a merchant in the Western Regions I know, the formula is very primitive, and the quality has improved significantly after several experiments, and I don't dare to sell them, so I take them out and show them to my mother, I don't know if I am satisfied?"

"Ugh! Da Lang has such a chance encounter, it seems that he has the potential to be a businessman! ”

As soon as Xing's words fell, Zhen Sheng snorted in his nose, expressing dissatisfaction with Xing's words, what is the potential of a businessman, is this sarcastic Zhen Qian or Zhen's family.

The merchants of the Tang Dynasty were divided into two kinds, one was the merchant with merchant status, this kind of person had the lowest status, the last class of Shinong industry and commerce, second only to the slave beloved, and he did not even have the qualification to enter the imperial examination as an official, so he could only engage in business for a lifetime. The other is a good person who is engaged in business, usually has land or works in business, and also has the opportunity to enter the imperial examination and become an official. Although many families are doing business privately behind their backs, they never involve business on the scene, and they don't want to be mentioned about businessmen's business, especially the county wang like the Zhen family, who said that their children are engaged in business on such a grand occasion obviously makes everyone's face unbearable.

Xing immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly changed his words: "The gift from Da Lang is really intentional, I accept it!" ”

Zhen Qian didn't seem to hear Xing's cynicism, and then gave himself a gift, and he only came back once a year, so he prepared quite a lot of gifts, as long as he was related to his relatives, he had one.

"Shiro, this is the four treasures of the study given to you by my brother, I hope you will succeed in your studies and shine in the court!"

"Sanniang, this is the Shu brocade that my brother gave you, I hope you will be more beautiful the longer you grow!"

The character of the criminal family is not very good, he looks good, with a big face, enlarged breasts, a thin waist, and fat buttocks, at first glance, he is a woman who can give birth to her, and within a few years of entering the Zhen family, he added two younger brothers and a sister to Zhen Qian, the youngest brother has just turned three years old, and he is still crawling on the ground with runny nose, if it weren't for Zhen Sheng being an official outside all the year round, it is estimated that he would add a few more brothers and sisters to Zhen Qian.

Of course, there is also Zhen Sheng's credit, he is in his forties, he is strong and strong, and last year he also accepted a room and two eight concubines in Lucheng, I heard that she is pregnant, and now she has five children.

Such a family structure is not uncommon in the family at all, Zhen Qian's eldest uncle is in his fifties this year, the eldest grandson is already in his teens, and he will be married in a few years, and the youngest son has just been born, which is a true portrayal of the family's life.

Zhen Qian finished giving the gifts one by one, and was just about to return to his seat, Zhen Sheng said: "Wait a minute, Da Lang, you have done a good job in Luquan County this year, I have discussed it with several elders in the family, and I am going to hand over all the money in the clan to you to manage, I don't know if you want to?" ”

Zhen Qian's heart was ecstatic, the money village he ran in Luquan County was simply pediatric compared to the Zhen family, the foundation of the Zhen family for hundreds of years, business involves all aspects of life, but the most profitable of them is the money village, the number of people in and out every day is thousands, the profit of the money village alone is as high as tens of thousands of yuan every year, and the business of making money makes Zhen Qian drool, so naturally there is no reason to disagree.
