Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 48 Chapter 50: Perfume and Soap

"You, you..." Changsun Wuji was a little speechless, he stretched out his hand to touch Li Hao several times, and laughed and cursed after holding back for a long time, "You are really the most bastard I have ever seen!"

Li Hao said with a dry smile: "Uncle Changsun praised him again. In terms of bastards, the boy is far inferior to Uncle Cheng."

"Cheng Yaojin is really an asshole." Changsun Wuji grinned and twisted his beard, "However, you seem to be better than blue. At least, Cheng Yaojin was not as stupid as you when he was 15 years old."

"Uncle grandson, the kid is sixteen this year." Li Hao kindly reminded him, after all, he was 15 years old when he went out with the army, and he came back after nearly a year, so he is naturally sixteen now.

"Oh, that's right, I'm sixteen, no wonder I feel like I've grown a lot taller." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Hao and sighed, "You were knighted at the age of 16. Looking at the Tang Dynasty, you are the only one."

The more Li Hao listened to his words, the more he felt unnutritive. He could see that Changsun Wuji was trying his best to ease their relationship, trying to make himself feel that he was amiable. Hehe, is it true that I am a 16-year-old ignorant coward?

When Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Hao smiled and looked at him silently. Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Changsun Wuji wanted to continue rambling, but felt that it was too deliberate, so he had no choice but to laugh twice. voice, said: "Well, next, let's talk about making money."

"I'm just waiting for your words." Li Hao said with a smile, "Uncle Changsun, the boy has actually researched three new things before going out, namely toothpaste, soap, and perfume."

"Toothpaste? Soap? Perfume?" Changsun Wuji read in a daze, and asked doubtfully, "What are these things and what are their functions?"

"These are some daily necessities." Li Hao explained slowly, "Toothpaste is used for rinsing mouth and brushing teeth, which is much more effective than the green salt we usually use. There is also a toothbrush that comes with toothpaste. The two are inseparable. Even if it's the same."

Changsun Wuji nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What about soap and perfume?"

"These two are amazing, and I promise to refresh your eyes and ears, Uncle." Li Hao suddenly explained with high spirits, "Soap is used to cleanse the body, and its decontamination ability is extremely strong. Its effect is more than ten times that of bath beans, and it also comes with It has a delicate fragrance and is good for the skin. I guarantee that people who have used soap will never want to use bath beans again in their life.”

As Li Hao said, he took out a wooden box from his bosom, walked forward and handed it to Zhangsun Wuji, saying: "This is soap, uncle can take a look."

Changsun Wuji opened the lid of the box curiously, and saw a piece of white soap lying inside, square and square, he touched it, it was hard, a little greasy, the material was very strange, and there was a faint fragrance, he sniffed it close to his nose After smelling it, there was indeed a quiet floral fragrance, and I couldn't help but happily praised: "It's really fragrant, and its decontamination ability is really better than bath beans?"

Li Hao smiled and said, "Uncle Changsun, you can try it."

"Okay! Come on!"

The butler Pidianpidian ran over to salute and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Go and get your hands dirty, the dirtier the better."

The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly agreed: "Yes." Then he withdrew.

After a while, the old butler came over with muddy hands, spread his hands and said, "Master, it's already dirty."

Li Hao took a look and shook his head: "Not enough, go get some oil."

The old butler looked at Changsun Wuji in astonishment, and asked for his opinion. Changsun Wuji nodded, and the old butler ran away again.

This time the waiting time was a bit long, and after about two cups of tea, the old butler came back again, this time his hands were covered with oil and plaster, which was dirty enough.

Li Hao said: "Now go get a basin of water."

Changsun Wuji said: "You do what Li Hao says."

"Yes." The old housekeeper went to fetch water again. When he came back, he was already sweating profusely. Could he not be tired? At such an old age, people are running around. Duke Zhao's mansion is very big!

Li Hao walked over and took the soap from Changsun Wuji, handed it to the old housekeeper, and said, "Use this to wash your hands."

The old housekeeper took the soap and was a little confused. He was stunned for a while before asking, "This thing... how to use it?"

Li Hao began to teach him to wash his hands, anyway, it's very simple, once you teach him, the old butler found foam on his hands after wiping the soap, which startled him, Li Hao said with a smile: "Don't panic, keep washing your hands, these foams are Help you decontaminate, how do you feel?"

"It feels... very slippery and comfortable." The old housekeeper replied truthfully.

After a while, Li Hao saw that he was almost finished washing, and said, "Now put your hands in the basin to wash."

The old housekeeper pressed his hand into the water to wash it, and when he took it out, he exclaimed in astonishment: "Good... so clean!"

Changsun Wuji kept watching intently, and was surprised when he saw this, got up and went over to take a closer look, it was indeed very clean, he even reached out his hand to touch it, and there was no oil stain at all.

"Okay, okay, good stuff." Changsun Wuji squinted his eyes with joy, patted Li Hao's shoulder, and said, "Boy, I really have you, and I can think of such a wonderful thing. It's a good thing."

Li Hao chuckled, and said: "Toothpaste and soap are things for common people, and the price should not be too high. We must ensure that the people of the Tang Dynasty can use them. As for perfume, it is an expensive luxury, suitable for sale to the upper class." .”

"Oh?" Changsun Wuji became more curious about the perfume after seeing the soap, and asked, "Did you bring perfume?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows: "Naturally." After speaking, he took out a small glass bottle from his arms. This is the bottle of Liushen toilet water. He tore off the trademark, and now it is filled with the perfume he developed, which is rose-scented. .

"This bottle..." Changsun Wuji looked at the glass bottle in amazement, "What kind of material is this bottle made of? Why is it so exquisite and gorgeous that you can see through the contents!"

Li Hao smiled and said, "Uncle Changsun, don't care about these details. What we are talking about is perfume, not bottles."

"Oh, yes." Changsun Wuji still had very high expectations for the perfume, so he hurriedly asked, "How to use this perfume?"

Li Hao took Changsun Wuji's hand, put two drops of perfume on his wrist, and said, "Okay, you're done."

Changsun Wuji looked confused: "Is this the end?"

"It's over." Li Hao nodded.

Changsun Wuji asked puzzledly: "Then what is this perfume used for?"

"Is it fragrant?" Li Hao asked without answering.

Changsun Wuji raised his arm and smelled it, then nodded: "Sweet."

Li Hao grinned: "This is his effect."

Changsun Wuji's expression became very exciting, and finally turned into disappointment and disgust.

Li Hao naturally guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Uncle Changsun, don't be disappointed, the profit of this perfume is not lower than that of soap."

Changsun Wuji didn't believe it: "It's just a little scent, how can I make money?"

Li Hao explained with a smile: "Uncle Changsun is a man, so naturally he doesn't care about this thing, but women like it, think about it, any concubine in the family of an official, a rich businessman, who doesn't dress up and show off, makes the whole body fragrant , Do you know how much incense powder is sold in Chang'an every day?"

Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard the words: "You are right, this stuff is actually similar to incense powder."

"Flavour powder can't be compared with perfume." Li Hao said, "Powder smell is too strong, the smell is offensive, and the fragrance of perfume, it is a faint fragrance, which can seduce men the most... Cough cough, that aspect I won't say much about the matter, after all, the boy is still young, and the most important point is that the fragrance of the perfume is relatively long-lasting, usually lasting more than three hours, which is incomparable to powder."

Changsun Wuji looked at the perfume in his hand and nodded thoughtfully: "If there are perfumes with different scents, they can indeed be sold at a good price."

Li Hao clapped his hands when he heard the words: "Uncle Changsun is still very business-minded. Perfume has various types of fragrances. I have prepared twelve flavors so far, and there will be more in the future. I believe Changsun Uncle earns more than the coal business in a year."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was overjoyed, and nodded happily: "Okay, okay, Li Hao, you are very good, you are indeed a young hero of the Tang Dynasty, and you have a great future, haha."

Li Hao laughed apologetically, but in fact he was cursing in his heart: "I helped you make money, so I'm a young hero? Why didn't you say that when you started messing with your coal business?"

Changsun Wuji was happy for a while, spread his hands and said, "Come on, nephew, sit down, let's talk about cooperation."

Li Hao sat down and began to discuss the details of the cooperation with him. The discussion lasted for about half an hour. There was no dispute during the whole process. Zhangsun Wuji is also responsible for the affairs of the family, four or six dividends, four for Li Hao, and six for Zhangsun Wuji.

After talking about the business, Li Hao was about to leave and go back. After all, it was getting late, and it would take some time to get from Chang'an to Lantian.

But Changsun Wuji suddenly said a word: "Nephew, when do you plan to go to the Imperial College to study?"

Hearing this, Li Hao suddenly had an idea in his mind, and then asked casually: "Uncle Changsun, is it the emperor's idea or yours to enter the Imperial Academy?"

Changsun Wuji twitched his beard proudly: "Of course it's the old man's idea, haha, how about it, the old man treats you well, right?"

In his view, entering the Imperial Academy is a supreme honor for young people, and it is also the beginning of a bright future and the guarantee of a high starting point.

However, Li Hao was overwhelmed in his heart: "If I knew it was you who proposed it, I would just give you a toothpaste business and treat me well? Hehe, I thank my ancestors for eighteen generations."

He didn't dare to say what was in his heart, so he had to smile and thank him, showing gratitude.
