Chapter 64
In Yiqiu Courtyard of the East Palace, Prince Li Chengqian is competing with a plate of silk-pulled taro.
Li Hao sat opposite him, yawning boredly.
Prince, that's all, it's just a rustic bumpkin who has never eaten silk taro.
Time was not long, and a plate of taro was cleaned by the news. Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief: "Dejian, your skills are really good. I want to call you into the palace as a cook."
Li Hao shrugged: "Then you just give a command, you are the prince, half an emperor."
Li Chengqian complained: "What you said is that I am the prince, not a fool. You are a celebrity in the court now. If you transfer you to the cook, Wei Heizi can impeach me until he forgets who he is."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise."
"Go and go, don't take me to have fun." Li Chengqian curled his lips: "I found that you are the so-called treacherous minister who is called a treacherous minister. He is afraid of horses and flattering everything."
Li Hao said indifferently: "I am a traitor again now? Why didn't you say it when you just ate taro?"
"I... forget it." Li Chengqian waved his hand awkwardly, touched his nose like Li Hao and said, "Can you tell me what you want to do with so much animal fat? The price of meat in Beijing has increased by 20%. If this continues, I will not be able to save it."
Li Hao didn't say anything, and reached out and took out a small small bag from his arms and put it on the table to open it, revealing two pieces of soap that exuded a faint fragrance.
"What is this?" Li Chengqian picked up one of the pieces and sniffed them: "It's delicious?"
Li Hao was quick and quick. Before Li Chengqian, a foodie, was about to bite, he snatched it up: "This thing is called soap, it is for bathing, so it cannot be eaten."
Li Chengqian showed no embarrassment at all, and his eyes widened curiously: "For bathing? How to use it?"
"Soak it in water and apply it on your hands or body, which has a strong detergent effect." Li Hao said, signaling the palace maid to bring the water basin and handing the soap to Li Chengqian.
With doubts and confusion, Li Chengqian took the soap, soaked it in the basin of the water brought by the palace maid, and rubbed it between his hands.
The smooth soap turned around in Li Chengqian's hands, producing a lot of foam, and then rinsed it with washing water. The hands, which had just been covered with syrup, immediately became refreshing and clean.
"God, it's God! Dejian, where did you get this thing? Is there any?" Li Chengqian asked excitedly after wiped his hands dry.
Li Hao smiled and said, "I made this thing."
Li Chengqian was surprised and said, "You...you made it? Don't tell me that this thing is made of oil."
"How is it? Isn't it very useful?" Li Hao neither admitted nor denied it, but the meaning in his words made Li Chengqian clearly know that the soap used for bathing was indeed made of animal oil.
"It's easy to use, but... the oil shouldn't be smooth and greasy? Why does the soap smell so good on your hands after it's complete?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
"Because there is salty fire and sulfur inside, I often bathe this thing to remove mites on my body."
Speaking of insects, Li Chengqian shivered.
He did not forget the scene when malaria was prevalent some time ago, when the whole Chang'an was deworming.
The conditioned reflex said: "What do you mean is that this thing can eliminate insects? Then, after using this, I will not have to spray alcohol on my body every day to disinfect it?"
Li Hao refused to comment: "In fact, soap can not only be used for bathing, but also for cleaning clothes. Of course, this thing can also be used to relieve itching. If you are bitten by mosquitoes, you will apply it on it."
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he rushed to Li Hao's side: "How much soap do you have in your hand? Send more to the palace."
"I still have a lot of soap, but... do you have money?"
Still want money? Li Chengqian blinked innocently...
Li Hao rubbed his hands in a little embarrassed manner: "Your Highness, friendship is friendship, and this brother is clear about the calculations. You don't want to make a fortune by yourself."
"Wait..." Li Chengqian seemed to remember something: "Li Dejian, I remember you said that you had to divide the business from this palace."
"Yes, it's this soap." Li Hao nodded and said with confidence: "But even so, Your Highness has to buy it with money. The share of the money is a share of the business. If you can give it to others because of your own business, wouldn't you have to pay all your capital?"
What I said makes sense, why didn’t I expect that Li Chengqian had no idea again.
Li Hao was so anxious that he had to remind him: "Your Highness, I think you can take two pieces to the Queen, and it would be better that your Majesty also send two pieces."
Yes, yes, Li Dejian, you are so smart." Li Chengqian seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden and said excitedly: "The father and mother will definitely like it after using it. If you ask me where I came from, I will say you asked me to offer it. Dejian, Dejian, I find you are so smart."
Li Hao was startled and waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, this is all the filial piety of Your Highness. It has nothing to do with me. You don't need to mention me, you don't need to do it at all."
"No need to do it, it's your idea."
After holding a big grass, this kid has learned bad things.
Li Hao, who shot himself in the foot, said depressedly: "Your Highness is really cruel. If you surrender, you will be given fifty dollars tomorrow. Will you be fine?"
"one hundred!"
Li Hao nodded happily: "One hundred is one hundred, I have something to do, so I will say goodbye first."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that Li Hao had already walked far away.
"Hey, hey, don't leave..."
...
...
Lizheng Palace, Li Er's study room.
Wei Zheng criticized some people with a black face with justice.
"Your Majesty, the meat price in Chang'an has increased by 20%. The reason is that some noble children are maliciously acquiring. If they are not stopped in time, they will probably continue to rise. The people will suffer in the long run."
Li Er agreed with Wei Zheng's words and frowned and said, "Do you know who did it? What does it mean?"
Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "According to me, I understand that the malicious acquisition was Li Dejian, the Sanyuan County, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also involved."
"Hmm? They are these two boys." Li Er was stunned for a moment and asked with some uncertainty.
Wei Zheng said with confidence: "That's right, please ask Your Majesty to make a decision early to stop His Highness the Crown Prince and Sanyuan County."
Li Er frowned, and he knew that Li Dejian and Li Chengqian would never worry about getting together, but he didn't expect that these two guys could make people feel uneasy to this extent. It seems that it is really necessary to fix them well.
