Chapter 017: Don't die for the sake of beauty!
"The warmth of wool is really good, but unfortunately the ancient people did not understand wool degreasing technology, and generally burned or threw away wool, which is really a waste!"
"That's for the ancient people, Brother Bei, you write down the wool degreasing technique, and then go to the prairie to buy wool. At that time, no one wanted wool, and as long as you offered to dispose of it, they might not want your money. ”
"Compared to cotton, wool is more utilized! Cotton can only be planted once a year when it is ripe, but wool can be sheared twice a year! Moreover, there were still too few people who planted cotton in ancient times, but there were many people who raised sheep, the raw materials were sufficient, and they didn't spend much money! ”
"In ancient times, there was no air conditioning and floor heating in winter, but it was very difficult, and many people froze to death every year.
"Wool can be used for a lot of things, and it can also be used as a brush! Anyway, the ancient people didn't use wool, and the wool was all Beige's! Now it's good, papermaking and brushes are matched, the best choice for Hanzi! Affordable both! ”
"Hearing you say this, wool is better!"
Ningbei solemnly wrote down the wool on the category of clothing.
In ancient times, especially before the Yuan Dynasty, the use of wool was actually pitiful.
The biggest reason for this is because there was no wool degreasing technology in ancient times!
In fact, the ancient people did not never use wool, and they were not fools, so they could naturally see that wool was very warm.
They used to spun their clothes out of wool, but when they wore them, they smelled of sheep, which was very unpleasant.
And this smell can't be washed off with water and pancreas, it will always exist, and if you wear it too much, you will be contaminated with the smell of sheep!
Unless it is a shepherd who specializes in raising sheep, ordinary people simply can't stand the smell.
The reason why wool is so angry is because the hair follicles of wool contain a lot of oil, and if it is not degreased or degreased completely, it will leave oil.
When spun into cloth with such wool, it naturally does not smell good.
Including the brush, too, the texture of the wool before skimming is not good, and it has a great taste.
Double torture, the most deadly.
Therefore, the brushes of the Tang Dynasty are made of rabbit hair, and the hare hair produced in Anhui is the best.
It was not until after the Yuan Dynasty that people initially had a method of degreasing, and wool brushes and wool coats made of wool began to be widely used.
Only wool that has been degreased can be used, and it is fluffy and soft, and the warmth is comparable to that of a cotton garment.
Wool textiles have many advantages, the only disadvantage may be the high price.
Especially in modern times, the price of a wool shirt can start at a few hundred!
Trendy brands are even more expensive!
But this is for modern people.
As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and now sheep are expensive, and wool is even more expensive!
But in the Tang Dynasty, no one used wool at all, and they even struggled with what to do with it.
Most merchants burn the wool directly after slaughtering the sheep.
Although it has a big taste, it is already the easiest way to deal with it.
If someone offered to help them with their wool, they would be glad to do so.
That is, the cost of acquiring wool is almost equal to nothing!
Thinking of this, Ning Bei's eyes couldn't help but light up.
It's not cooler than growing cotton!
Just when Ning Bei was about to discuss with the audience whether there were natural materials that were very cheap in ancient times but were now cheap, Qin Yangyue put on another dress and walked in front of Ning Bei.
"Is it pretty?"
It's still the same question, it's the same expectant look.
It was shameless to plagiarize the audience's praise again, and Ning Bei cheekily praised Qin Yangyue.
made Qin Yangyue tremble, and finally bought all the two skirts.
The two then went to the supermarket and soon came to a make-up shop.
Qin Yangyue stopped and said to herself:
"It just so happens that the liquid foundation is gone, so buy the liquid foundation and buy some facial cleanser."
When the two entered the makeup shop, the waiter immediately greeted them warmly, "Hello two, what do you want to buy?" ”
"Is there any foundation from Dior?"
"Yes, we just have a new product here, I'll take you to try it."
Qin Yangyue made a request, and the waiter pulled her to try the sample.
Ningbei is also idle, looking left and right.
If he talks about some luxury car brands, he may be able to name a few, but when it comes to these cosmetics brands, he really doesn't know anything.
It's not that he praises his natural beauty, anyway, Ning Bei, who has never used skin care products, doesn't have acne or oil on his face, and his skin has been very good since he was a child.
When he grew up, although some of his sisters who had a crush on him gave him skin care products, Ning Bei never used them.
In his words, it is a three-point poison, and the more you apply cosmetics, the more poisonous it is!
Although he disdains to use these cosmetics, looking at them, Ning Bei can't help but sigh: "These cosmetics and skin care products are so expensive!" ”
There are hundreds of thousands at every turn, not to mention that he has no money, even if he has a little money in his hand now, he is reluctant to buy these cosmetics.
The audience also boasted:
"It's really expensive! My wife bought thousands of bottles of fairy water, and after using three bottles, I didn't see a few wrinkles on her face. ”
"Don't mention it, my wife still does regular nursing, thousands of yuan a month, and I haven't seen her skin any better, not as good as mine!"
"You know what? These cosmetics and skin care products have little effect, and the main thing is just a luxury, just like those life cards, others have it, don't you want to have it? ”
"The kid who said just now that his wife bought three bottles of fairy water, are you Wang Yu? You wait for the old lady, and the old lady will look for you right away! ”
"Wuhu, both husband and wife are in the anchor's live broadcast room! Looks like there's going to be a big battle tonight! ”
"By the way, Brother Bei, you can make modern lipsticks and perfumes! Although they are all worthless things, they can definitely be sold for a good price in ancient times! At least it's not poisonous! ”
"It's not just lipsticks and perfumes, it's cosmetics too! The women of the Tang Dynasty liked beautiful and fancy things, and if they were given a set of cosmetics, wouldn't they be crazy! ”
"In fact, Brother Bei really wants to be able to make modern cosmetics, which is also a good thing for ancient women, you don't know what ancient women put on their faces! Damn, use lead as a base! One set has to make up half of the periodic table! A kiss can reduce life expectancy by three years! ”
"Not only in our history, but also in Western countries in the past dynasties, there were many nobles who died of lead poisoning, and didn't the Roman Empire burp because of lead poisoning?"
"The Shang Dynasty also perished because of lead poisoning, so it seems that it is also necessary to make at least clean cosmetics!"
"Hey, whether it's an ancient woman or a modern woman, they can die for the sake of beauty!"
Women in the Tang Dynasty especially liked heavy makeup on the streets, and modern smoky makeup was left over from people's play.
They even created a standard Tang costume.
The first step is to apply foundation.
But they call it "lead powder".
As the name suggests, it is really applied with lead powder.
Tang poems have clouds: "Dancing to sweat and wet Luo Yitho, the upstairs people helped down the jade ladder, returned to the courtyard to wash their faces, and poured silver mud in the golden basin water." ”
The silver clay in the last sentence is actually a foundation made of lead powder.
However, lead powder is a heavy metal, and the damage to the human body is not ordinary!
Applying lead powder to the face for a long time will cause facial decay, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening!
And the disadvantages of lead powder are not only these, it can also affect the IQ of the offspring, and even infertility!
Whether it was the Shang Dynasty or the Roman Empire in history, they all died because of lead poisoning.
