My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 273 Steam the Fragrance of the Flowers
"Snapped!"

Zhu Zhanhe poured the last piece of soap out of the mold, and it just made up ten pieces of soap. The lavender soap was like small mooncakes, exuding a faint fragrance of jasmine.

"It looks pretty, is it delicious?"

Sun Ruowei looked at the soap before asking Zhu Zhanhe.

"Who told you these are edible?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked back, dumbfounded.

"Can't you eat it?"

Sun Ruowei was very surprised. Just now she saw that Zhu Zhanhe used both lard and salt, and also used a mold for making moon cakes. No matter how you look at it, it looks like he is making a kind of dessert.

"Of course you can't eat it. This thing is called soap. As for its use..."

Zhu Zhanhe thought it would be a bit troublesome to explain, and there happened to be a frying pan for boiling lard next to him, so he reached out and wiped the pan, and his hands were immediately stained with a lot of residual oil.

"My lord, why are you wiping it? Look at your dirty hands. I'll send someone to fetch the soap."

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe's oily hands, Sun Ruowei couldn't help but blame him.

"So much oil, do you think it can be washed clean with soap?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked with a smile, the so-called pancreas is actually the most primitive soap, which is made by mashing pig pancreas, adding soybean powder and spices, etc. Zhu Zhanhe usually uses this kind of pancreas to wash his hands and face , the effect is not very good.

"If you can't clean it once, wash it several times."

Sun Ruowei replied casually, she usually takes care of Zhu Zhanhe's diet and daily life, so of course she is very clear about the effect of pancreas.

"So, the effect of soap is too bad, but this soap is different, it can be washed clean in one go!"

As Zhu Zhanhe said, he asked someone to bring a basin of clean water. After wetting his hands, he picked up a piece of soap and rubbed it for a few times. His hands were soon full of soap liquid, and then he washed it in clean water. Hands become clean immediately.

"How is it, is it clean?"

Zhu Zhanhe wiped his hands, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Sun Ruowei, and said very proudly.

Sun Ruowei was also very surprised, seeing that Zhu Zhanhe's hands were clean, there was really no oil stains on them, and she even went up to smell it unwillingly, only to find that instead of smelling oil, there was a scent of jasmine on the contrary .

"It's really clean!"

Sun Ruowei was shocked, she knew the effect of soap, if you use soap, it is absolutely impossible to clean it in one go.

"Understood, this soap is a soap with better effect, and the most important thing is that it looks better than soap!"

Zhu Zhanhe explained with a smile.

The pancreas is made from a pig's pancreas, and the finished product is black. Compared with the translucent soap, it is simply a world of difference.

"That is to say, this special kind of soap?"

When Sun Ruowei said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked Zhu Zhanhe again.

"My lord, just now I saw that you made this kind of soap with lard, salt, and other things like lime. Does that mean that the cost of this kind of soap is much lower than that of pancreas?"

"You girl is quite smart, and you discovered the key all at once!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded and smiled.

Pancreas is made of pig pancreas. You must know that a pig has only one pancreas. Therefore, the cost of pancreas is not cheap. Only wealthy people can afford it. In comparison, the cost of soap is much cheaper.

"Really, then can we make this kind of soap on a large scale, won't we be rich by then?"

When Sun Ruowei spoke, his eyes were full of excitement, and he almost jumped up.

"When I was in Nanjing, didn't I say that I would find something for you to do, and this soap will be handed over to you in the future."

Zhu Zhanhe laughed again and said again.

He knew that Sun Ruowei would be interested in soap, after all, women need this kind of body cleansing thing most.

"Thank you son, I knew he was the best for me!"

Sun Ruowei hugged Zhu Zhanhe's arm happily, her little face also flushed slightly from excitement.

Ma An next to him was full of envy, hating himself for not being a beautiful woman. He had already seen the benefits of soap, but it was a pity that he handed it over to Sun Ruowei. Compare with each other?
But after Sun Ruowei got excited, he suddenly frowned again and said, "My lord, soap is good, but to put it bluntly, it's just a special kind of soap. Wouldn't it be a little too shabby to take it as a gift?"

"Don't worry, the soap is just a small gift, I haven't started making the real gift yet."

Zhu Zhanhe laughed, and asked someone to lift the strange-looking instrument off the car after speaking.

At the same time, Princess Han in another house was a little angry.

"Where is Ruowei's girl, let her go to the warehouse to pick out gifts, why hasn't she come back for so long?"

Concubine Han asked the maid beside her with a displeased face.

In order to prepare the birthday gift for Wang Guifei, she also spent a lot of thought, but this year's situation is special, various nobles have obtained a lot of rare treasures from voyages to the west, she wants to overwhelm other noble wives, it is really not a coincidence easy job.

"Reporting to Wangfei, Miss Ruowei was called away by the crown prince. It seems that the crown prince said that he would personally prepare a birthday gift for Wang Guifei."

The maid replied immediately.

"Nonsense, how does he know what women like when he's a big man?"

Princess Han didn't believe it at all, and then asked again: "Where are they now?"

"It's in Shizi's courtyard."

The maid answered again.

"What presents can be prepared in his yard?"

Concubine Han was even more skeptical, but this also aroused her curiosity. It happened that she was fine, so she simply stood up and prepared to take a look for herself.

So Princess Han brought people to the courtyard where Zhu Zhanhe lived, and before entering the door, she smelled a fragrance.

"Huh? Where did the floral fragrance come from?"

Princess Han smelled the scent and distinguished it, and then she was very surprised and said that this scent was definitely a flower scent, and it seemed to come from Zhu Zhanhe's yard.

Full of doubts, Princess Han stepped into the yard, and she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw the situation in the yard.

I saw a stove standing in the yard, and a strange-looking utensil was placed on the stove. Zhu Zhanhe was standing beside him, holding a small bottle in his hand, catching something from the utensil?
"Mom, why are you here?"

Zhu Zhanhe also saw Princess Han at this moment, and immediately said with a bright smile.

"What are you... doing?"

Concubine Han looked at the strange-looking appliance of the stove, and asked in confusion for a while.

"Princess, the prince said he was going to steam the fragrance of the flowers. I thought the prince was bragging, but I didn't expect him to do it!"

Before Zhu Zhanhe could answer, Sun Ruowei beside him excitedly spoke first.

"Flower fragrance? Can it still be steamed?"

Concubine Han became more and more confused, and even wondered if Sun Ruowei was talking nonsense?
