"Brother Xiong, just now Zhou Cang sent someone to send an invitation, saying that he invited you to the banquet tomorrow."

Wei Yiyi said coquettishly.

Hua Xiong patted his head, and then remembered that Zhou Cang had mentioned it to himself before, saying that the child was born in the full moon recently.

"Okay, I got it."

Hua Xiong nodded, intending to go back to the room.

Wei Yiyi pouted, and said unhappily,

"Brother Xiong, what have you been busy with lately? didn't accompany others well. ”

Seeing that Wei Yiyi was unhappy, Hua Xiong smiled,

"I'm giving our family a snuggle and inventing good things."

"Really?"

Wei Yiyi looked suspicious,

"What kind of good thing, you want to make Brother Xiong disgraced?"

Hua Xiong's body was dirty at the moment, and his face was also covered with dust.

"Hey, when I invent it, you'll know."

Hua Xiong smiled mysteriously, turned back to the wooden house, and closed the door.

Inside the wooden house are piles of straw, and next to them are buckets of clear butter.

Hua Xiong placed several bundles of straw in the stove and set them on fire.

After the straw was lit, as the flame gradually extinguished, there was a ground of ashes.

Hua Xiong carefully collected a large pile of straw ash and placed it in a basin with hot water.

When the temperature dropped, he filtered the mixture in the basin to obtain the lye.

Hua Xiong heated the butter and lye at the same time, and when the heat was almost the same, he fused the two together.

While fusing it, Hua Xiong kept stirring the liquid in the pot.

Until it is viscous, he pours out a portion and injects it into a mold prepared in advance.

And the remaining part, Hua Xiong took out the perfume made of roses and poured it into it.

Then he poured all the remaining objects in the pot into the mold.

When it was done, Hua Xiong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

Yes, he made soap and soap.

A few days ago, Huzi, who served as a housekeeper, came to Huaxiong to cry poor, saying that there was not much money in the family.

Hua Xiong is now a prince of the imperial court, and there are more than 100 people in the mansion.

He has nothing to do and likes to make an invention, and Guo Jia and others often come over to eat.

So the overhead is increasing day by day.

Originally, it was supported by the income of the Tobacco Bureau, but in order to fill the emptiness of the treasury, he later gave this part of the income to the imperial court.

It's so much that I can't make ends meet now.

In order to increase his family's income, Huaxiong began to think of new ways to make money.

Just when he was taking a bath the day before yesterday, looking at the soap corner used in the bath, Hua Xiong had an idea, and he had an idea instantly!

The conditions under which the ancients lived were really difficult.

If you usually want to take a bath, you can only use soap horn or rice water to get rid of the dirt on your body.

If Huaxiong could invent soap and soap, wouldn't he make a fortune?

And the method of making soap and soap is simply so simple that it couldn't be simpler.

You only need to use plant ash and oil, and then mix and stir and heat it to make it successfully.

Looking at the soaps and soaps that have been ventilated and dried, they have gradually taken shape,

Hua Xiong happily closed his mouth.

He hurriedly picked up soap and soap and walked outside.

Wei Yiyi was sitting sullenly in the lobby.

Hua Xiong approached her with a smile and sat down.

"Yiyi, are you still angry??"

Wei Yiyi snorted lightly, turned his head away, and ignored him.

"Don't be angry, what do you think I've got for you?"

As if by magic, Hua Xiong took out two pieces of soap and put them in front of Wei Yiyi.

Wei Yiyi glanced at it disdainfully, originally wanting to look away,

But when she saw the soap as white as jade, her eyes were stunned.

"Brother Xiong, what is this?"

Wei Yiyi forgot that she was still angry, and asked curiously.

"Well, it's called soap, and it's for bathing."

Hua Xiong explained.

Wei Yiyi stepped forward, picked up the soap, and suddenly a strong fragrance of roses came to her face.

"Wow, it smells so good."

"Hehe, Yiyi, let me tell you, soap is not just about incense.

Best of all, it repels stains very well. ”

Hua Xiong explained with a smile.

Wei Yiyi's eyes rolled, and she immediately put two pieces of soap in her pocket.

"It's not bad, then I'll take it."

As she spoke, she held out her hand to Hua Xiong again.

"Why?"

Hua Xiong was stunned.

"Give me the rest."

Hua Xiong suddenly cried and laughed,

"I made a total of five pieces of soap, and the remaining three pieces I plan to give to Zhou Cang as a gift.

If you want soap, I can give it to you. ”

"Soap, what's that for?"

Wei Yiyi is like a curious baby.

"It's like soap, but it's used to do laundry."

Hua Xiong explained.

As soon as she heard that it was laundry, Wei Yiyi lost interest.

"Are you satisfied with these two pieces of soap?"

Hua Xiong smiled,

"I invented it for you."

"Flim tongue, I don't believe it."

Wei Yiyi glanced at Huaxiong, but the happiness in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

……

Next.

Hua Xiong left home with Wei Yiyi and went straight to Zhou Cang's mansion.

Today is the full moon day of Zhoucang's children, so a feast is held.

Although Zhou Cang's position is not high, he is Huaxiong's personal bodyguard.

Which of the officials in the court dared not to give him face?

There was a lot of traffic in front of the Zhou Mansion, and the guests who came and went were all officials with heads and faces in the imperial court.

"Wang Situ, you are here, please come inside."

"Yo, Master Cai, go in and sit down!"

Zhou Cang stood in front of the door and greeted the guests warmly.

When a subordinate saw Hua Xiong coming, he hurriedly said in a loud voice,

"Master Taishi has arrived!"

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Cang trotted all the way and came to Hua Xiong.

"Lord, you're here."

Seeing that he was going to salute himself, Hua Xiong smiled and waved his hand,

"No, today is your day of great joy."

Zhou Cang touched the back of his head and smirked,

"Hehe, I have to thank my lord for that."

Zhou Cang greeted Hua Xiong and walked inside.

Hearing Hua Xiong's arrival, the officials inside also came out one after another to greet him.

"My lord."

"Master Taishi!"

Wang Yun, Cai Yong, Xun Yu, Gao Shun and other civil and military generals were all present.

"Hey, it's quite complete."

Hua Xiong smiled.

"That's not it, today is the day of Zhou Cang's child's full moon, how can we miss it?"

Gao Shun joked with a smile,

"Lord, we all gave Zhou Cang a big gift, I don't know what you prepared for him?"

Hua Xiong smiled but did not answer, and took a box from Wei Yiyi's hand on the side.

Everyone stretched out their heads to see what kind of treasure Hua Xiong was giving.

But as the box opened, everyone was stunned.

I saw six lumps lying quietly inside the box.

The subordinate in charge of singing the gift list looked confused and didn't know what it was.

Others looked at each other.
