Chapter 30: The New Rifle

Seeing Xia Tingyun pick up a vase again, Fang Xiaoyu was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing?" I want to murder my husband. Xia Tingyun said: "Phew, who wants to marry you, besides, we haven't decided to marry yet." Say, what have you done to my sister? Fang Xiaoyu innocently spread his hands: "I've been sitting here and doing nothing." Xia Tingyun said: "Phew, you didn't do anything bad, why did my sister call a pervert?" Say it, or I'll smash it. After speaking, she raised the vase in her hand and made a gesture to throw it, so frightened that Fang Xiaoyu waved her hand again and again: "Don't don't, it's going to kill you." ”

At this time, Xia Tingwei, who had already put on a dress, came out and grabbed Xia Tingyun's hand: "Xiao Yun, put it down, it's just a misunderstanding." Xia Tingyun snorted with her nose, and then put down the vase. Xia Tingwei asked Fang Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "I'll bring you soap." ”

Xia Tingyun, who went back to change her clothes, poked her head out curiously and asked, "What is soap?" Fang Xiaoyu took the wooden box on the table and handed it to Xia Tingwei. The wooden box was made improvised, and although the surface was relatively smooth, it was not painted or carved, and it looked unremarkable.

Xia Tingwei naturally didn't care about the quality of the wooden box, she was curious about what kind of magical things were in the box. She slowly opened the wooden box, revealing two rectangular objects lying side by side, placed in a mass of white silk, one pale yellow and the other pale red. Looking at the crystal clear soap, Xia Tingwei unconsciously picked up the light red soap, the soap was very greasy and slippery, so she couldn't help but caress it carefully.

Seeing Xia Tingwei studying the soap in her hand, Fang Xiaoyu explained: "This thing is called soap, and I just invented it. It is used to cleanse the body, as long as you first wet your face when washing your face every day, then apply it with soap, and then rinse it with water, you will find that your face is exceptionally clean. And my soap has a different fragrance, as long as you use the soap will leave a faint aroma on the face, although it tastes lighter than using spices directly, but it is more natural, and it can also be used in baths. ”

Xia Tingwei was surprised: "Is it really so amazing? Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "You can try it." Xia Tingwei picked up the soap and sniffed it, "It's so fragrant." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Of course, these are all spices, and the red one is rose-flavored, which is for Xiao Yun." The yellow one is for you, it's jasmine, and it tastes the same as the incense powder you use. ”

Xia Tingwei picked up the pale yellow and sniffed it, and sure enough, it was so. At this time, Xia Tingyun, who had just dressed herself, ran out, she grabbed the pale red soap and smelled it: "It's really fragrant, for the sake of you being so careful, I will spare you this time." Fang Xiaoyu knew that he was at a loss, and looked at Xia Tingwei with a weak heart, and said with a dry smile: "You guys wash your face, I'll go out first." ”

Fang Xiaoyu had just walked to the door, and Xia Tingyun said loudly behind him: "Don't peek at my sister in the future, let you look at it when I grow up." Fang Xiaoyu, who had just stepped out of the door, was so shocked when he heard this that he was almost mixed by the threshold and almost fell. Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly held on to the door frame and stabilized his center of gravity, he didn't dare to look back at the Xia family sisters anymore, and fled directly, leaving only Xia Tingwei with a red face and Xia Tingyun who bent down with a giggling.

Fang Xiaoyu was watching the workers who began to plant rice on the edge of the field, and the Xia sisters walked over. Sun Huaizong, who was talking to Fang Xiaoyu on the side, said, "Young Master, the two young ladies of the Xia family are here. Let's talk, I'll go around first. After speaking, Sun Huaizong left with a smile.

Fang Xiaoyu turned his head and found that Sister Xia Tingwei really stepped on the field stalk and walked over. There was still some distance away, Xia Tingyun shouted: "You are really, what do you do with all the money you make and care so much about these crops?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Can money fill your stomach?" Besides, who said that the crops are not profitable, if the crops are not profitable, what is the Cheng family doing with so much arable land? Xia Tingyun, who approached, wrinkled her nose and said, "How much arable land people have, just how much food can be grown in this small place?" Fang Xiaoyu said disdainfully: "Whoever said that if you have less land, you won't make money, and besides, I didn't say that I grow food." Xia Tingyun wanted to refute, but she didn't dare to say anything when she thought that the other party had made so many unbelievable and lucrative things.

Fang Xiaoyu saw that Xia Tingyun no longer refuted, and also changed the topic: "How is the effect of the soap?" Xia Tingwei touched her face and said, "It's really effective, I feel a lot smoother skin." Xia Tingyun is also a child, so she no longer cares about what happened just now after shifting her attention, she also said: "Yes, after using it, the face is very comfortable, and there is a fragrance." If you use it for bathing, it is estimated that you don't have to apply spices every time you wash it. ”

"Perfume." Fang Xiaoyu listened to Xia Tingyun's words and first thought of perfume, this is much more convenient to use than spices, the only trouble in making perfume is to make essential oils, but this is not difficult for Fang Xiaoyu, he is going to use distillation and pressing. Distillation is the simplest and most effective method that can be used at present, only need to use water vapor through the petals, and then collect the cooled steam, but some plants will change their flavor in high temperatures, so such plants use the pressing method to extract essential oils. Both methods are very simple and can be easily done as long as you can think of them. With the new fragrance product, the promise to the family is fully fulfilled.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and asked the Xia family sisters, "What do you want to do?" Xia Tingwei said: "We're just going around casually, and it's nothing, what do you have to propose?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Otherwise, let's go horseback riding." Xia Tingyun first exclaimed: "Okay, okay, where are we going to ride a horse?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "From here to the west, it is a horse and a flat river, and it is best to run horses there." Xia Tingwei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's go horseback riding." ”

There are vast plains near the capital, and the land is fertile and easy to cultivate. Of course, this is only to the south and east of the capital, and there are several mountain ranges in the north of the capital. The undulating terrain also makes the land here sandy, not much humus, and the land is not fertile enough, so there are not many farms in this direction, and most of the land is still a wasteland overgrown with wild grasses. At this time, the sisters of the Xia family were galloping on such a barren grass plain on horseback, while Fang Xiaoyu was depressed on the horse, falling behind the most ugly. Fang Xiaoyu, who had not learned to ride a horse for a long time, originally wanted to show off his riding skills, but he found that the Xia family sisters were very proficient in horse riding. It is no wonder that Marshal Xia Jun was born as a cavalry officer back then, and more than a dozen of his sons and nephews are also cavalry officers, so the Xia family attaches great importance to equestrian training, almost everyone in the Xia family can ride a horse, and the Xia Tingwei sisters are naturally no exception, Fang Xiaoyu hit the muzzle of the gun this time.

Xia Tingyun rode a horse and ran for a while, and saw that Fang Xiaoyu was far behind, she ran back with a pocket of horses, and approached Fang Xiaoyu, who was trying to move forward at the speed of walking the horse, Xia Tingyun commanded the horse to approach him and said, "Brother Yu, why don't you hurry up, so slow?" Xia Tingwei also came back: "What's the matter, Xiaoyu, are you uncomfortable?" "No, no, I'm just not used to horseback riding." Fang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly. Xia Tingyun laughed when she heard this: "Ha Luha, it turns out that you ride a horse so badly, I thought you were omnipotent." "Finally found out where Fang Xiaoyu was not as good as herself, which made Xia Tingyun very happy. Fang Xiaoyu pretended to be angry and shook his fist and said, "Hmph, when we have a car, let's compare and see who is faster." Xia Tingyun was puzzled: "What is a car?" Fang Xiaoyu knew that he had leaked his mouth again, and he pretended to explain with a regretful face: "Alas, it's terrible to be uneducated, and I don't even know how to talk about cars." A car is a four-wheeled carriage that can walk without a horse, and it is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage. ”

After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Xia Tingyun said in disbelief: "How can there be such a thing, you are talking nonsense." Xia Tingwei smiled and said, "Is this the same as that camera, what you envisioned?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "That's right, but my idea is very likely to come true, at least in my lifetime." Fang Xiaoyu was full of confidence when he thought of Xiaofeng. Xia Tingyun was puzzled: "What is a camera?" Xia Tingwei explained to her with a smile. Xia Tingyun was surprised: "Is there anything better than my sister painting?" Or is it a machine? Lie. Originally, she wanted to say that I didn't believe it, but she looked at Fang Xiaoyu and swallowed the words back. With the novel products created by Fang Xiaoyu several times, although Xia Tingyun is reluctant to admit it, she has blindly trusted Fang Xiaoyu.
