Seeing Xia Tingyun pick up a vase again, Fang Xiaoyu was so frightened that he shouted quickly: "What are you doing? You want to murder your husband." Xia Tingyun said: "Bah, who wants to marry you? Besides, we haven't got engaged yet. Say,
What did you do to my sister?" Fang Xiaoyu spread his hands innocently: "I have been sitting here and did nothing." Xia Tingyun said: "Bah, you didn't do anything bad. Why did my sister say you were peeking? Come on!
If you don't, I'll smash it." After saying that, she raised the vase in her hand as if to throw it away, which frightened Fang Xiaoyu and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't, don't, don't, it will kill someone."
At this time, Xia Tingwei, who had already put on a piece of clothing, came out and grabbed Xia Tingyun's hand: "Xiaoyun, put it down quickly, it's just a misunderstanding." Xia Tingyun snorted and put down the vase. Xia Tingwei asked Fang Xiaoyu
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a bitter smile, "I'm here to deliver soap to you."
Xia Tingyun, who went back to change clothes, poked her head out curiously and asked: "What is soap?" Fang Xiaoyu took the wooden box on the table and handed it to Xia Tingwei. The wooden box was made temporarily, and although the surface was smooth, it was not painted.
There are no carvings and it looks ordinary.
Xia Tingwei naturally didn't care about the quality of the wooden box. She was curious about what kind of magical things were contained in the box. She slowly opened the wooden box, and the two rectangular objects lying side by side inside were gradually revealed. They were placed
Among a ball of white silk, one was light yellow and the other was light red. Looking at the crystal clear soap, Xia Tingwei unconsciously picked up the light red soap. The soap was so smooth that she couldn't help but
Caressed it carefully.
Seeing Xia Tingwei studying the soap in her hand, Fang Xiaoyu explained: "This thing is called soap, which I just invented. It is used to clean the body. As long as you wet your face every day when washing your face, then apply it with soap.
Once, and then rinse with water, you will find that your face is extremely clean. And my soap has a different fragrance. As long as you use the soap, it will leave a light fragrance on your face, although it is lighter than using spices directly.
But it’s more natural, and it can also be used for bathing.”
Xia Tingwei asked in surprise: "Is it really so magical?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "You will know after you try it."
The ones with added spices, the red one is rose-flavored and is for Xiaoyun. The yellow one is for you, it is jasmine-flavored and has the same flavor as the fragrant powder you used."
Xia Tingwei picked up the light yellow soap and smelled it, and it was true. At this time, Xia Tingyun, who had just put on clothes, ran out. She grabbed the light red soap and smelled it: "It really smells good. Seeing how careful you are.
I'll spare you this time." Fang Xiaoyu knew that he was in the wrong, so he glanced at Xia Tingwei with a guilty conscience and laughed twice and said, "You guys should wash your faces, I'll go out first."
As Fang Xiaoyu walked out of the door, Xia Tingyun said loudly behind him: "You are not allowed to peek at my sister anymore. When I grow up, you can look at me as you like." Fang Xiaoyu, who had just stepped out, was so shocked when he heard this that he almost stumbled over the threshold.
He almost fell. Fang Xiaoyu quickly held on to the door frame and stabilized his center of gravity. He did not dare to look back at the Xia sisters and ran away, leaving only Xia Tingwei with a red face and Xia Tingyun bent over with a giggle.
Fang Xiaoyu was watching the workers starting to plant rice at the edge of the field, and the Xia sisters came over. Sun Huaizong, who was talking to Fang Xiaoyu on the side, said: "Master, the two ladies from the Xia family are here. You guys can chat, I'll go and take a look first.
." After saying this, Sun Huaizong left with a smile.
Fang Xiaoyu turned his head and found that Sister Xia Tingwei was actually walking over on field stalks. Still some distance away, Xia Tingyun shouted: "Really, what do you do, you are so profitable, why do you care so much about these crops?" Fang Xiaoyu laughed.
Said: "Can money fill the stomach? Besides, who said that crops are no longer profitable? If crops are not profitable, why would the Cheng family hold so much cultivated land without releasing it?" Xia Tingyun, who approached, wrinkled her nose and said, "How much cultivated land do we have?
Just how much food can you grow in a small place like yours?" Fang Xiaoyu said disdainfully: "Who said you can't make money with less land? Besides, I didn't say you would grow food all the time." Xia Tingyun wanted to refute, but she thought of all the unbelievable things the other party had done.
She didn't dare to say anything about something that was very profitable. In the end, she just pouted and said nothing.
Seeing that Xia Tingyun no longer refuted, Fang Xiaoyu changed the topic: "How is the effect of the soap?" Xia Tingwei touched her face and said: "It's really effective. I feel that my skin is much smoother." Xia Tingyun is also a child at heart, so she changed her attention.
Li Li no longer cared about what happened just now, and she also said: "Yes, my face feels very comfortable after using it, and it still has a fragrance. If you use it to take a bath, I guess you don't have to apply perfume every time after washing."
Already."
"Perfume." Fang Xiaoyu first thought of perfume after hearing Xia Tingyun's words. This is much more convenient to use than spices. The only troublesome thing about making perfume is to prepare essential oils. However, this is not a problem for Fang Xiaoyu. He plans to use distillation and
The pressing method and the distillation method are the simplest and most effective methods currently available. You only need to use water vapor to pass through the petals, and then collect the cooled steam. However, some plants will change their flavor at high temperatures. Such plants will
Use the pressing method to extract essential oils. Both preparation methods are very simple and can be easily done as long as you can think of it. With the new product of perfume, all the promises to the family have been completed.
Fang Xiaoyu asked the Xia sisters with a smile: "What do you want to do?" Xia Tingwei said: "We are just walking around casually, nothing happened. Do you have any suggestions?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "How about we go horse riding."
Xia Tingyun first praised: "Okay, okay, where should we go horse riding?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Going west from here is a flat plain, and horse racing is the best there." Xia Tingwei thought for a while and said: "Okay, then
Let’s go horseback riding.”
There are vast plains near the capital, and the land is fertile and easy to cultivate. Of course, this is only in the south and east of the capital. There are several mountains in the north of the capital. The undulating terrain also causes the land here to be sandy, with not much humus and not fertile enough.
, so there are not many farms in this direction, and most of the places are still wasteland covered with weeds. At this time, the Xia sisters were riding horses on such grassy plains, while Fang Xiaoyu was riding depressedly, falling at the back.
Fang Xiaoyu, who had not learned to ride a horse for a long time, originally wanted to show off his riding skills, but he found out that the Xia sisters were very proficient in riding horses. It is no wonder that Marshal Xia Jun was a cavalry officer, and he has more than ten sons and nephews.
They are all cavalry officers, so the Xia family attaches great importance to equestrian training. Almost everyone in the Xia family can ride a horse, and sisters Xia Tingwei are no exception. Fang Xiaoyu was hit by a gun this time.
Xia Tingyun rode a horse for a while and saw Fang Xiaoyu lagging far behind. She took a lap and ran back again, approaching Fang Xiaoyu who was moving hard at a walking speed. Xia Tingyun directed the horse to approach him and said: "Brother Yu
, why don't you hurry up and be so slow?" Xia Tingwei also came back: "What's wrong, Xiaoyu, are you feeling uncomfortable?" "No, no, I'm just not used to riding horses." Fang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly.
Xia Tingyun laughed when she heard this: "Haha, it turns out that you are so bad at riding a horse. I thought you were omnipotent." Finally, she discovered that Fang Xiaoyu was not as good as herself, which made Xia Tingyun very happy. Fang Xiaoyu shook his fist pretending to be angry.
Said: "Huh, let's compete after we get a car to see who is faster." Xia Tingyun asked doubtfully: "What is a car?" Fang Xiaoyu knew that he had let the slip again, so he explained with a look of regret: "Oh,
It’s terrible to be uneducated. You don’t even know about cars. A car is a four-wheeled carriage that can travel without a horse, and it is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.”
After hearing what Fang Xiaoyu said, Xia Tingyun couldn't believe it: "How can there be such a thing? You are just talking nonsense." Xia Tingwei smiled and said: "Is this the same as the camera?" Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes,
But my idea is very likely to be realized, at least in my lifetime." Fang Xiaoyu became more confident when he thought of Xiao Feng. Xia Tingyun asked doubtfully: "What is a camera?" Xia Tingwei explained to her with a smile. Xia Tingyun was surprised.
She said: "Is there anyone who can draw better than my sister? Is it a machine? It's a lie." Originally she wanted to say something later, but I didn't believe it, but she looked at Fang Xiaoyu and swallowed her words back.
Although Xia Tingyun was unwilling to admit the novel products that Fang Xiaoyu had created several times, she already blindly trusted Fang Xiaoyu.
