    After being busy for a long time, the sun was at the height of the sky and it was midday time.  Chen Wang stared at the soap and asked cheerfully: "Wanrong, are you hungry? If you are, Mom is going to cook." The attraction of the soap was so great that she didn't even move her eyes.

    Chen Wanrong remembered that he and Li Qingquan had a drinking den, and said quickly: "Mom, Boss Li is waiting for me to go drinking. I have to go quickly."

    "He invited you to drink? Are you pretty?" Chen Laoshi's eyes widened and he didn't believe it at all.  He has been dealing with Li Qingquan for so many years, and he knows Li Qingquan too well. He just invited Chen Wanrong to drink with his stingy energy, unless the moon shines during the day and the sun shines at night.

    Mrs. Chen Wang didn¡¯t believe it either. She chuckled and said, ¡°Wanrong, you have been working hard these past few days and have made so many good things. Are you so happy that you are dizzy?¡±

    If they knew that my relationship with Li Qingquan was completely different, it wouldn't matter if they had a drink. It's just that this matter is a bit long and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Chen Wanrong said seriously: "Father, mother,  What I said is true."

    This statement was unquestionable, so Chen Laoshi and his wife didn't believe it. Chen Laoshi hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Wan Rong, you didn't lie to dad, did you?"

    "Dad, do I need to lie to you? What's the benefit of lying to you?" Chen Wanrong had to raise his voice slightly.

    Wang Chen thought for a while and then said: "Wanrong, it's already getting late. Even if you rush over now, you may not be able to catch up. Besides, these soaps haven't been finished yet, so they can't be placed here? You'd better not go.  No. Boss Li can't wait for you, he will eat it by himself."

    The temperature of the soap is still relatively high now, and it can only be packaged after cooling, which is a long process.  Besides, Chen Wanrong was planning to sell some soap to Li Qingquan. If it didn¡¯t work out, he would rush out to drink. This would be too unprofessional. Chen Wang¡¯s suggestion was very reasonable. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, ¡°Mother.  , just listen to you."

    Chen Laoshi thought that someone as stingy as Li Qingquan actually invited Chen Wanrong to drink. This was a rare good thing, but it ended up like this. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful and sighed secretly.

    Chen Wanrong¡¯s first wine shop in the Tang Dynasty was so bad.

    "I'm going to cook." Chen Wang said and entered the kitchen.

    Chen Wanrong followed in and rolled up his sleeves: "Mom, let me do it."

    Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen's face immediately showed a smile, and her eyes narrowed until there was only a small slit left: "Wanrong, what are you talking about? Your cooking skills are better than those of your mother. Even if you hit me, this  Aren¡¯t you making fun of your mother?¡±

    "Mom, don't get me wrong. No matter how good the food I cook is, it doesn't taste as good as the rice cooked by my mother. How can there be any reason why a son can't eat the rice cooked by his mother?" Chen Wanrong talked while cleaning up.

    Even if the food cooked by a top chef is not as tasty as the food cooked by his mother, what son wouldn¡¯t say that his mother is good?

    Mrs. Chen Wang was extremely happy when she heard that, her face glowed red, and she kept saying: "Wan Rong, you are getting better and better at talking, and you are trying to please my mother. My mother is happy to hear this." Afterwards,  , tears filled his eyes.

    Chen Laoshi came in with firewood in his arms. He didn't know why. He looked at Chen Wang's tear-filled eyes and asked strangely: "Mother, what's wrong with your eyes? Did you fall into the dregs? Let me blow it for you."

    "Go!" Chen Wang scolded lightly.

    Chen Laoshi, who rarely enters the kitchen, also came to the kitchen to help light the fire today. Chen Wang was responsible for cooking. Chen Wanrong did not start to prepare the dishes this time. Lao Laoshi helped cut and wash the dishes.

    ?? Mrs. Chen Wang was already very happy today. She was so happy when she spoke to Chen Wanrong again. Her brows were filled with joy. Her cooking movements became much faster, and she had a meal ready in a short time.

    As long as people use their heart, things will be different. Chen Wang is very happy today. The dishes cooked are different from usual. Although it is a plate of fried meat, the aroma is overflowing. Chen Laoshi can't help but swallow it.  Drool: "Mother, how did your cooking become so fragrant?"

    "You only know how delicious it is after eating it for so many years?" Chen Wang asked back.

    Chen Laoshi was in a good mood and stopped arguing with her. He stuck out his tongue at Mrs. Chen and went to the main room with the food.  After setting the food, the three of them ate around the table. Chen Wangshi and Chen Laoshi's faces were filled with joy. The meal was delicious.

    After dinner, Chen Wanrong went to look at the soap. He touched it with his hands and found that it had cooled down. It was hard and no different from the soap in modern society.

    There were no freezers, refrigerators, or coolants like Frion in the Tang Dynasty. They could only use this primitive natural cooling method, which was very inefficient and took a lot of time.  Fortunately it is February and the weather is relatively cold, otherwise, soIt will take longer.

    Chen Wanrong put the soap on the table and took out the printed matter printed yesterday. This printed matter is the wrapping paper designed by Chen Wanrong.  "People need clothes, Buddha needs gold." If it is sold without packaging, people's favorability for soap will be greatly reduced. It is from this consideration that Chen Wanrong decided to print an exquisite packaging  Paper for packaging.

    Movable type printing is one of the "Four Great Inventions", a new technology that only appeared in the Song Dynasty.  The printing industry in the Tang Dynasty mainly used woodblock printing. The so-called woodblock printing was to carve the things to be printed on hard wood boards such as pear wood and then print them. It was somewhat similar to our current seals.

    Chen Wanrong's calligraphy skills cannot be complimented. The instructions he wrote yesterday were like earthworms crawling around. If the master of He's Printing Workshop hadn't re-copied and engraved them, the printed wrapping paper would have been terrible.

    Yesterday, Chen Wanrong humiliated the great monk Fo Guang in public. He San regarded him as a great person and did not dare to offend him. He specially told the engraving master to do his duty with all his heart.  In addition to carving Chen Wanrong's explanatory text, the engraving master also carved several lifelike peonies for decoration. The effect is very good and very exquisite.

    When Chen Laoshi saw this wrapping paper, he became very curious. He picked up a piece of paper and looked at it. He praised it: "It's so beautiful! It's printed with peonies. It's peonies!"

    Peonies are graceful, luxurious, and very popular with the world. They were very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and Luoyang's peonies were the best in the world.  The legend that Wu Zetian demoted Peony to Luoyang has been passed down to this day.  The legend is false, but the truth is that peonies were very popular among the Tang people in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone from the princes to the common people knew peonies.

    Although Chen Laoshi is a commoner, it is not surprising that he knows peonies.  Mrs. Chen Wang picked up one, looked at it, and commented: "This peony print is really true! Wanrong, how do you package this?"

    "Mom, it's like this." Chen Wanrong first folded the wrapping paper into a cube, then put the soap in it, and finally put the top paper together, glued it with paste, and put it aside.  This paste is made by crushing rice and adding water to mix it.

    With Chen Wanrong¡¯s demonstration, Chen Wangshi and Chen Laoshi followed suit, but Chen Wangshi was skillful and Chen Laoshi was clumsy. Chen Wangshi finished the wrapping in one go, but Chen Laoshi had not folded the paper yet.  Mrs. Chen Wang raised her eyebrows and said honestly to Chen Lao: "Old man, look at how clumsy you are, you have to do it like this." She started teaching him step by step.

    The three of them started working together, and it only took a while for the packaging to be completed.  The outer packaging is different. It looks very eye-catching. The sixteen pieces of soap placed together form a beautiful painting.

    Chen Laoshi glanced east and west, but couldn't get enough. He asked, "Wan Rong, what words did you write?"

    He couldn¡¯t read and had no choice but to ask Chen Wanrong.  Now Chen Laoshi no longer regards Chen Wanrong as an illiterate person. In his mind, Chen Wanrong is already omnipotent. If he has questions, who else can he ask if he doesn't ask Chen Wanrong?

    Mrs. Chen Wang also wanted to know and echoed: "Wan Rong, tell us."

    "Dad, Mom, what is written on this paper is how to use it and what it is used for. In addition to washing clothes, soap can also be used to wash hands and face. It is also good for washing the body." Chen Wanrong made it clear in a few words.

    The two couples have seen it with their own eyes that soap can wash clothes. This is the first time they heard about washing face and hands, and they couldn't help but be surprised: "Wanrong, this soap has really many uses."

    Chen Laoshi suggested: "Wan Rong, such a good thing must be sold at a good price."

    "You have to tell me that Wanrong is very smart." Mrs. Chen Wang defended Chen Wanrong.

    Chen Wanrong responded, picked up ten pieces of soap and wrapped them in oil paper.  My family was poor and had no bags, so I had to use oiled paper.  Chen Wang went to hitch the car, and Chen Wanrong and Chen Laoshi carried the tanning agent to the car.

    Mrs. Chen Wang put the oil paper wrapped in soap on the car, and Chen Wanrong said: "Father, mother, I'm leaving."

    "Slow down on the road, go early and come back early." Mrs. Chen warned.

    Chen Laoshi did not say anything unpleasant this time: "Wanrong, there is nothing going on at home. You can come back after you finish the work. There is no rush."

    Chen Wanrong responded, said goodbye to the two elders, and drove off with the bullock cart.

    Until Chen Wanrong was out of sight, Chen Laoshi rubbed his hands and said, "Soap is such a good thing, I have to wash my clothes."

    Mrs. Chen Wang rolled her eyes at him and said, "You go wash your clothes, and I'll wash myself in hot water."

    Chen Laoshi immediately said: "It's so hot, I have one too. I haven't washed my body for many days, and I'm feeling a little itchy." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
