After further improving the process of distilling spirits, Qingji was finally able to extract ethanol, and then invented perfumes, soaps, and soaps.

"Hey, King, what is this? It smells so good. ”

At this time, in the imperial garden of Queen Wu's palace, Qingji was busy working, and a startled and inexplicable female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Qingji turned his head to look, and saw that it was Xi Shi and Zheng Dan walking together, enjoying the flowers in the garden together, but they inadvertently saw what Qingji was tinkering with.

So, Zheng Dan couldn't help but pick up a piece of freshly baked soap, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

Xi Shi next to him also picked up the soap and soap on the stone slab on the side, smelled it, and felt refreshed.

Seeing this, Qingji just chuckled and said, "Ah Dan, what you are holding in your hand is soap, which is specially used for bathing." Yiguang, you have soap in your hand, which is used to wash clothes. ”

"Huh? Aren't these two things the same? ”

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan both expressed their puzzlement.

"It's different, it's not the same. At least soap is silkier and smells better than soap, right? ”

"That's right."

In general, there is no difference between soap and soap, both are soap-based alkaline stain removal products, and you can wash your hands.

The difference is that the soap will add ingredients that are beneficial to the skin, such as antibacterial, deep cleansing, protection, moisturizing, etc., and some can also play a role in lubrication after cleaning.

This is something that ordinary soaps do not have.

Soap is used to wash clothes, and it focuses on the decontamination of clothes, but does not have the permeability and absorption of the active ingredients of soap.

When the ancients bathed, they often liked to sprinkle some flower petals in the bathtub to enhance the fragrance......

With soap, the effect is very different.

At this time, Zheng Dan couldn't help but blink his eyes curiously and asked, "King, have you been tinkering with these two things called soap and soap for the past few days?" ”

"Not bad."

As the ruler of a country, it is indeed not a proper job for Qingji to spend his days studying how to mix things like soap, soap and perfume......

Fortunately, Qingji did not abandon the national politics because of this.

Qingji is only when he has time, he will come to develop this kind of thing, and what he really does is not necessarily Qingji, but the temple people and Gong'e who can be trusted around him.

"It's still not done."

Qingji tried the soap and couldn't help but shake his head, not very satisfied.

"Great King, isn't there a spice in the palace that has been paid tribute by a small country in the Western Regions? Why did the king bother to develop these things? ”

Zheng Dan asked puzzled.

"Spices are spices."

Qingji smiled slightly and said: "Adan, those spices paid tribute by Fanbang are natural products, and the soaps and soaps developed by the widow are man-made products. Not the same......"

"It's a perfume, you try it, how does it work?"

Qingji took out two more bottles of delicately packaged perfume and wiped them for Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.

The two girls glanced at each other, and immediately opened the cap, only to smell a refreshing fragrance.

"It's so fragrant, it's the smell of gardenias!"

Yiguang couldn't help but sigh.

They immediately rubbed the perfume on their hands, put it on the tip of their noses and sniffed it, and suddenly felt refreshed.

Perfume originated in France in the West, and the reason why it was developed is also due to the fact that Westerners are not hygienic!

Until the 16th century, the art of perfumery in France was very backward.

The use of perfume was still in the early days, and the French refused to even take a bath.

Because most people do not have bathroom facilities at home, and the epidemic of gonorrhea, many people think that they will get Xing disease when they take a bath in a public bath, so they stay away from bathing.

Henry IV was unimpressed with perfume, and the people of the country ridiculed him as the stinky king. Louis XIII was also a stinky king......

It is said that in order to hide the large scar on his head, he invented wearing a wig.

Louis XIII's queen could not bear his stench, but she did not tell her maid about it until she was dying.

So the maids swore to her that when she died, they would bury her with clean linen, perfume, and the three hundred and forty pairs of scented gloves she had gathered.

Louis XIV was not at all like his ancestors, he was extremely sensitive to smells, and he ordered the court perfumer to concoct a perfume he liked every day, or risk guillotine.

Therefore, later generations have called him "Xianghuang".

By the time of Louis XVI, he used the power of the whole country to dig up the masters of the perfume and soap industry......

"Yikes! This thing is so slippery! ”

The soap in Zheng Dan's hand suddenly slipped out, she couldn't help but scream depressedly, and then squatted down and pouted her ass to pick up the soap.

Qingji, who was standing behind Zheng Dan, saw this scene, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and his index finger moved.

He wasn't interested in picking up soap, but the object was his beloved concubine, a delicate young woman.

How can Qingji be able to hold on to it?

Qingji hooked Zheng Dan's shoulder, put his arm on Xi Shi's back, and whispered casually: "Ah Dan, Yiguang, go to the room with the widow to try the effect of this perfume." ”

"The King...... This, not quite right? ”

Xi Shi couldn't help but blush, as if he was drunk, which was tempting.

"It's still day, King...... The concubines will listen to you. ”

Zheng Dan's personality is more pungent and bold, so after glancing at Qingji in a variety of ways, he snuggled into Qingji's arms, like a mess of mud.

"Ahem."

Qingji coughed lightly, and said to Jiao Slip, who was standing on the side and was mixing perfume: "Jiao Slip, you continue to mix perfume." ”

"No......"

Jiao Slip hurriedly agreed.

Since the king has this interest, where does the glue slip dare to disturb?

……

After many days of unremitting efforts, perfumes, soaps, and soaps were finally developed by Qingji.

The original distilled spirit technology of Wu Guo has also been further improved.

In this next step, Qingji plans to vigorously produce perfumes, soaps and soaps in order to make a lot of money.

At this time, in the Zide Palace, Qingji summoned Fan Li, the imperial historian, as well as the Shi Zengdian and the Dagong Ling cadres into the palace and sat down.

Qingji seemed to be going to feast on the three of them, and on the low tables of the three ministers, a jue of wine was placed.

The king gave wine, which was a great honor for the minister.

"Ahem!"

It's just that Fan Li, Zeng Dian and Gan Jiang couldn't help coughing after drinking the wine given by Qingji, and their faces were flushed.

Fan Li asked curiously: "King, what is this salvation?" Spicy, bitter, and burning in the mouth, this ......"

Fan Li is not good at commenting.

Qingji smiled and said: "Fan Li, this wine is for soju, and it is a wine that has been purified by many master winemakers. ”

"The raw materials are still rice, millet and corn, but the degree is different. If you drink this wine in winter, keep warm, great good! ”
