Chapter 215 Soap is expensive and water is cheap (sixth)

“come on! Come on!”

The audience around the Zhuangzi skating arena still cheered the players.



There are more children on the ice rink elsewhere, and some adults send the children in early in the morning, turn around and leave, and they are busy with things.

Leave money to Zhangjiacun, saying that he will come to pick it up at dark.

They found a good place. The children had nowhere to play. They ran around during the day, and they couldn’t get anything they wanted to drink.

It just so happens that Zhuangzi has things to play with, and the ice car doesn’t require money, and only food and drink are spent.

There is someone in Zhuangzi who takes care of the children, which is so worry-free.

The money given to Zhangjiacun is lunch money, eat skewers in the Zhuangzi, and deduct it from it.

Generally, men find excuses to take their children to do things, but women stay by the side.

Some children come by themselves, go to places without spending money on skating bikes, and drinking bone-in chicken soup without spending money.

These children belong to the category of poor economic conditions at home. Adults don’t have time to take care of them. The older children in the neighborhood greet them and take the other children out of the city.

As soon as it was dawn and the city gate was opened, I set off. I bounced around for a while, and saw a carriage or ox cart running past the pick-up cart.

Some car drivers feel sorry for the animals and drive with their whips.

Some looked at the empty cars and let the children take some distance.

About half an hour or so from the city to Zhuangzi, drink the soup first, get warm, and then go to the ice cart.

“The proprietor doesn’t care?” Huang Bai found out the situation and asked Qingsong. He felt that his name matched Qingsong.

“No matter, at noon, the proprietor will take care of a meal. The children are smart and will know the situation in just a few days.

Other wealthy families bring their children, and those who have no money come by themselves. There are many ice rinks in Zhuangzi, enough for them to play. ”

Qingsong took Cork and was familiar with draggable luggage, rested in the children’s play area, had a sip of soup, or had to go back to drink hot water.

“I’m asking the proprietor not to drive it away? The soup of bones and chicken is also money, and salt and spices are added to it. You see, there is still minced meat floating.”

Huang Bo corrected his meaning.

“The children finally have a safe place to play. What should I do if I drive them away to skate and fall into the ice hole?

Our proprietor is a rich man, and the neighbours must take pictures. Wealthy people elsewhere can serve porridge, and Zhuangzi will give a meal, so that people know that the proprietor is kind. ”

Qingsong told Huang Bo that rich people everywhere in Datang had to pay for repairing bridges and repairing roads.

Neighbors in the same county have to pay for weddings and celebrations, and sometimes they have to get manpower.

There are leftovers leftovers in the restaurant, which are packed in barrels and taken out at night to be eaten by the beggars.

People who are begging generally rush to eat and fish from swill buckets.

In this way, if something happens, greet someone to help. Otherwise, if there is a fire at home, others will not stretch out their hands when watching the excitement.

Qingsong understands that it is not easy for the proprietor to maintain a good reputation.

“Tell those children to wash their hands with hot water, take a brush to clean their hands, and put on skin care cream.” Li Yi’s voice appeared behind the two people.

“Yes.” Qing Song didn’t want to respond first, but Huang Bo was startled.

Qing Song went over and greeted: “Everyone comes here to wash their hands, there is soap, and I wash them for lunch at noon.”

A large group of children listened, dropped the ice cart and drills and ran over.

Everyone has black faces and hands, as well as traces similar to smears that are often not cleaned. In fact, there are smears.

Others had big noses and sucked back from time to time.

Li Yi looked at it and remembered the same situation when he was a child. The area under his thumb was always not clean, and it would not work if it was soaked in hot water, so he had to take a brush.

Then my neck is also dark, so I don’t need to wash my face well.

Anyway, the children at that time were almost the same, unlike later, when the financial conditions of the family improved, the children became clean when they lived in the building.

“Put things away, put them away.” There was an older child shouting over there, and ice drills and ice carts were thrown at will. The older children were afraid of offending the owner.

One shouted, the others followed, and the children ran back.

No matter how “wild” they are, they are still afraid to meet rich people, especially Lijiazhuangzi.

Before they drank the soup, they waited by the side, waiting for the dealer to give it to the store, and did not dare to come forward, because they were afraid that the children of the wealthy family who also ate skewers would dislike it.

After I finished brushing my hands and face, I put on the skin cream, I suddenly felt that I was different, so I moved forward.

Then… other children still dislike it.


While disgusting children from poor families, children from rich families ran to change water, wash hands and face, and waited for skin care cream to be applied.

Li Yi wandered among the children, stood in front of a seven or eight-year-old boy, and observed that the child always stopped the upper lip with his tongue.

“Open your mouth.” Li Yi said softly.

The child opened his mouth without brushing his teeth, and did not dare to vent his breath.

“Open the medicine cabinet.” Li Yi said again.

Qing Song ran over, opened the box skillfully, and chose a small box to open it.

Li Yi took out a pair of pliers and touched the child’s left front tooth.

“I have prepared something delicious for you, that is… OK, don’t lick it, bite the cotton, and spit it out for a while.”

As Li Yi spoke, he clamped the child’s teeth and pulled them out. When it was time to change the teeth, the teeth moved and the child licked.

The child bit the cotton ball and blinked, not knowing what to say.

Walking away from the child, Li Yi showed a child a little problem from time to time.

Gum abscesses, angular cheilitis, bubbles in the mouth, ulcers, cuts with small hands.

They cleaned up the medicine one by one, and taught the children how to blow their noses by themselves.

He worked slowly and tirelessly. The eyes of the children when they looked at him became different, and it was no longer the original fear and anxiety.

Qing Song cooperated with him, handing over a small tool or potion or ointment from time to time.

The game started over there again, and Li Chengqi came over.

“It seems that the palace is already asking the imperial doctors to help people, don’t you need to look at this kind of small?” He pointed to the small mouth and the tooth.

“The sick child is uncomfortable, but it’s just holding it up. If the adults don’t care, the child can bear it.” Li Yi didn’t think it was a trivial matter.

Especially for children with swollen gums, they will pierce themselves with a needle, stick their fingers in and press, and do not wash their hands. Then the needle pierced area will heal, and there will still be pus inside.

If someone makes a larger opening under hygienic conditions, the pus and blood are squeezed out, and the child is sprayed with watermelon frost or borax, and the child will be well soon.

Li Chengqi didn’t say anything, he took it down, and talked back to his third brother, don’t be idle.

Especially apprentices, apprentices can handle such minor illnesses.

“It looks like we need to talk to Pei Ming Mansion. Sanitation needs to be strengthened. In addition to flushing out the cesspit with hot water, we need to sprinkle more ash and lime. Wash your hands before and after meals. I…provide soapy water and sell it at a cheaper price. Chang’an Yamen.”

Li Yi thought about it and said that he would continue to increase his life.

Let others increase their lifespan and increase their own life.

Hygiene is the biggest problem. Drinking raw water is the norm. Drinking hot water makes people confused.

As for washing hands before eating and after going to the toilet, many people couldn’t do it at that time.

If soap is provided, it will affect the international smuggling trade.

Change to soapy water and let Pei Yaoqing distribute it to the people. As fewer people are sick, they will naturally contribute to Datang.

“How cheap is it?” Li Chengqi asked Pei Yaoqing for help.

“Capital.” Li Yi gave two words.

He can actually give a way to make soap, but he doesn’t want to give it.

“Less than soap powder?” Li Chengqi asked again.

“How much is the worst soap powder?” Li Yi really didn’t know the price.

“One or two three cents.” Li Chengqi specifically asked, although he used to not use the cheapest soap powder.

“I have to buy tens of thousands of catties for one catty and one penny at a time, otherwise it will cost two pennies for one catty.” Li Yi estimated the cost and gave a price.

His so-called capital includes labor costs.
