Da Qin: I exposed myself as a time traveler, why are you Zhao Gao panicking?

Chapter 156 This thing is called soap!

Xianyang City, in a quiet courtyard.

Two daughters, Lu Pheasant and Lu Su, were sitting leisurely at the stone table.

An exquisite tea set was placed on the table, and the scent of tea filled the air.

Both of them were wearing gorgeous clothes, which matched the flowers in the courtyard.

Both sisters are beautiful and graceful.

Lu Pheasant is dignified and elegant, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her skin is better than snow, and her movements are like a weak willow supporting the wind, giving her a noble aura.

Lu Suze is younger, pretty and lovely, with clear eyes, a smile like a flower, a slender waist, and movements as light as a swallow. She is like the girl next door, lovable.

The two girls appear together, like twins, dazzling!

Lu Pheasant picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "This tea is fragrant and sweet in the mouth. It is really good tea."

Hearing this, Lu Su also picked up the tea cup and tasted it carefully, nodded in agreement and said, "What the eldest sister said is absolutely true."

"This tea not only tastes great, but also refreshes the mind. It is truly top quality."

Lu Pheasant put down the tea cup, smiled softly, and said: "Su'er has a lot of research on tea ceremony. You have some free time today, how about discussing tea ceremony with me?"

A trace of excitement flashed in Lu Su's eyes, and she hurriedly said: "If the eldest sister is so elegant, the younger sister should accompany her."

The two began to drink tea and discuss poetry, and came up with some good lines.

Hearing this, Lu Pheasant nodded appreciatively and said: "Su'er's sentence is very wonderful. It combines tea tasting and spring appreciation, and the artistic conception is profound."

Lu Su was a little embarrassed by the praise and said humbly: "Eldest sister, you are so complimentary."

"The younger sister is just acting casually, how can she compare to the elder sister's talent?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, continuing to drink tea and discuss poetry.

The fragrance of flowers and tea in the courtyard, accompanied by the laughter and laughter of the two women, formed a harmonious and beautiful picture.

Suddenly I heard a servant coming to report: "You two ladies, the Fuzhong workshop has made a new batch of strange things, called 'soap'."

The two women looked at each other and smiled, both showing curiosity, then got up and went to the workshop to find out.

In order to make it easier for Qin Chi to create things at home, he specially made a room available for use as a workshop.

Specializing in making some gadgets for daily use, it is equivalent to Qin Chi's "laboratory".

In this laboratory, there are often some strange small objects, which arouse the curiosity of the two sisters.

In the northwest corner of Xianyang City, in a secluded courtyard in Qinchi's mansion, is where the workshop is located.

That morning, the sun shone through the treetops and fell on the green brick ground, and the air was filled with the faint scent of flowers and vegetation.

Qin Chizheng, wearing a plain white coat, stood in front of the workshop door, watching the busy craftsmen intently.

He has a handsome face, elegant temperament, and a calm and unhurried demeanor in his movements.

In the workshop, the fire was strong, and several craftsmen were busy around a large iron pot.

The liquid in the pot boiled, making a gurgling sound, and a strange fragrance gradually spread.

The two daughters Lu Pheasant and Lu Su were also watching, their eyes shining with curiosity and expectation.

"Sir, the process of making this soap is really wonderful." Lu Zhi said softly, her eyes never leaving the boiling liquid.

Qin Chi smiled slightly and explained: "The production of this soap requires the selection of good oils and alkaline substances, and it can be formed after multiple mixing, stirring, heating, cooling and other processes."

"And the most important thing is this secret spice, which makes the soap emit a pleasant fragrance."

Lu Pheasant picked up a piece and took a closer look at its shape. He saw that its texture was delicate, like gelatin, and he couldn't help but ask, "I just don't know what the magical use of this thing is."

Qin Chi said with a smile: "This soap is carefully made of special materials and can be used for cleansing and bathing." "When using it, just dip it in water and rub it gently to produce rich foam, remove dirt and scale, and leave a fresh fragrance. It’s a must-have in the boudoir.”

After hearing this, Lu Su also picked up a piece of soap and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "So, this thing is really good news for women."

“In the future, when I take a shower and change clothes, I no longer have to worry about the dirt being removed and the fragrance disappearing.”

The two sisters couldn't help but admire: "Young Master is so knowledgeable and talented, he even knows this daily toiletry."

Qin Chi smiled and waved his hand, saying: "This is just some minor skills, nothing."

"As long as you like it, I will order people to make more for you."

While talking, the craftsmen have poured the cooked soap liquid into each mold. After cooling and solidifying, they can unmold and cut into pieces.

Lu Pheasant and Lu Su looked at the pieces of soap that were as white as jade and exuded fragrance, with happy smiles on their faces.

"With this soap, I will feel more refreshed and comfortable when bathing and changing clothes in the future." Lu Pheasant said with a smile.

Lu Suyi nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the young master is really attentive and considerate, and has considered us so carefully."

Qin Chi looked at the two girls' happy faces and felt satisfied in his heart.

He knew that although this soap was a small item, it could add freshness and elegance to their lives.

So, he smiled and said to the two girls: "Whatever you like."

Just as Qin Chi, Lu Pheasant, and Lu Su were reviewing the newly made soap in the workshop, there was a rush of footsteps outside the mansion.

After a while, the servants announced: "Prime Minister Li Si has arrived!"

Qin Chi raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself.

Li Si came here now, not knowing why...

He straightened his clothes, ordered Lu Pheasant and Lu Su to stay in the inner room for a while, and then went out to greet them in person.

Li Si was seen wearing official uniform with a tired look on his face. He was obviously busy with official duties and had no time to attend to anything else.

Qin Chi cupped his hands and saluted, saying: "Xiang Li came to the humble residence, but he was not welcomed from afar."

Li Si waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Tingwei, you are so polite. It turns out that I am here to ask you for something important."

When Qin Chi heard this, his heart moved and he invited Li Si into the inner hall to talk.

After the two were seated, Qin Chi took a sip of tea and asked casually: "I wonder what Mr. Li is doing? If you can help Qin, just ask."

Li Si sighed and said: "Since the implementation of the imperial examination system, students from all over the world have gathered in Xianyang, all wanting to show what they have learned and serve the court."

"However, I have no experience in the matter of imperial examinations, so I came here to ask Mr. Qin for advice."

Hearing this, Qin Chi immediately understood Li Si's intention.

He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The imperial examination system is a good way to select talents, but it will inevitably encounter many difficulties in the early stages of its implementation."

"What Prime Minister Li was worried about was nothing more than how to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the imperial examination and how to select real talents."

Li Si nodded in agreement and said, "What Lord Tingwei said is absolutely true! The truth is that I am very worried about this matter."

Qin Chi smiled slightly and continued: "In fact, it is not difficult to solve these problems."

"First of all, we need to develop a strict examination system to ensure that every student has a fair chance to compete."

"When selecting talents, we should not only pay attention to their academic talents, but also their moral character."

“Only in this way can we select talents who truly have both ability and political integrity.”
