This is not the Datang I am familiar with

After eating the whole roast chicken, he burped, Dingyu poured tea, and Chen Fang drank it.

After sleeping for half a day, it's hard to sleep this night.

Your Majesty, when you go to Daming Palace, you must take me there by name!

Thinking that Wu Meiniang would stay in Taiji Palace, Chen Fang was now focused on following His Majesty and going to Daming Palace.Go and see the first snow in Longshouyuan.

Facts proved that Chen Fang was overthinking, because scattered snowflakes had already fallen that night.

Chen Fang looked at the falling snow and sneezed.

As for what, it has only been a long time since the Double Ninth Festival, and it is snowing.Even if we look at the lunar calendar in this era, but if we convert it to the Gregorian calendar, the National Day of later generations has just passed.

It is agreed that now is not an ice age, but a warm period.

Chen Fang wondered if those historical experts made a mistake.

God, I just wanted to see the first snow in Longshouyuan, and you just gave me it.The snow in Tang Gaozong period came a little early!

Chen Fang was depressed, the cold wind howled from the north, blowing through the huge Tai Chi Palace complex, making a whining sound, which was a bit annoying.

Chen Fang felt a little cold, wrapped the quilt tightly, and fell asleep at some point.

On the second day, silver bell-like laughter wafted over. Chen Fang was afraid of the cold, so he wrapped his quilt tightly.

Looking outside the house, it is already a world covered in silver.It's a pity that there are no plum blossoms facing the wind and proudly snowing, otherwise it would be a different scene.

Dingyu personally carried a stove, and the charcoal was burning vigorously in the stove.The fiery red charcoal fire made Chen Fang feel a little warm.Dingyu brought the stove to Chen Fang, seeing Chen Fang who was tightly wrapped in the quilt, he couldn't help laughing softly.

Chen Fang looked at the charcoal fire, and his first thought was whether he might be poisoned by carbon monoxide. Looking at the structure of his residence, it should not be.

It is not a closed structure, but very ventilated.

"Master, you should get up soon, I see the two princesses are coming."

"Ok!"

Dingyu went to do her own work, Chen Fang tidied it up, and was about to brush his teeth with the new toothpaste, when the two princesses had already arrived on the snowflakes.

The two highnesses were dressed in white fox fur, and the winter clothes just made by Shangyi Bureau were bright and warm.There were two sets of footprints left outside the door, and just after entering the room, the court lady wiped off the floating snow for the two highnesses.

"Chen Fang pays homage to Her Royal Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Chen Aiqing, get up!"

There, Chen Fang was still holding the toothbrush and toothpaste that he was about to brush his teeth with, and before he could put it down, he could only keep it behind him.

It's very rude to greet with a toothbrush.

Taiping walked around behind Chen Fang early, saw the white lump on the toothbrush, and blinked curiously.

"Chen Fang, what is this?"

"Returning to Your Highness, this is a new toothpaste made by Youfang."

"Oh, this is what Ai Qing said to me when I saw Ai Qing write on the paper that day?"

"Your Highness, it is this thing!"

"Chen Fang, you don't give me and my sister any good things!"

"How dare this minister, in fact, this minister has already prepared it for the two Highnesses, but this thing has just been made, and I have to try it before I dare to let His Highness use it!"

"Hurry up and bring it!"

Chen Fang hurriedly took out two white porcelain bottles, which were prepared for stability and peace.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring a toothbrush!"

Na An Ding sighed, they came to listen to the story, so Na Na might have brought a toothbrush.Bringing a toothbrush to listen to the story, no matter how you think about it, it feels weird.

"If the two Highnesses don't dislike it, I still have a few toothbrushes here, and I haven't used them before!"

"Give it to me and my sister!"

Chen Fang hurried to get it, and the two princesses took some toothpaste from a white porcelain bottle and put it on the toothbrush under Chen Fang's guidance.

Chen Fang never imagined that he would brush his teeth with Princess An Ding and Tai Ping.

However, Chen Fang brushed his teeth with the standard way of brushing teeth in later generations. The two princesses were quite curious, standing beside Chen Fang on one left and one on the right, brushing their teeth according to Chen Fang's movements.

One left and one right, brush forward, brush backward, brush up, brush down.Scrub, scrub, scrub!

Taiping thought it was fun, and the little girl yelled as soon as she finished brushing her teeth, she hurriedly took it to her father, queen and queen so that they could use it too.

It's no wonder that Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi love Taiping so much, this little girl always remembers her father, mother and queen in her heart.

It's really the darling of parents, can you not love them.

That time eating candied haws, the seven-year-old girl left two at the end, saying that she hadn't given it to her parents and queen yet.

The malt candy was so delicious to her, she stuffed it into her mother's mouth when she ate it sweet, so that she could sweeten it too.

And now, after using the new toothpaste, Taiping was the first to think of sharing it with his father, queen and queen.

If it weren't for the emperor's house, what a warm picture it would be.

Seeing that Taiping was going to the Ganlu Hall, Chen Fang hurriedly took out the toothpaste prepared for the emperor's empress and asked Taiping to take it.

It was snowing outside, and An Ding also hurried out, she didn't worry about her sister going to Ganlu Hall alone, in case the slippery road would be too slippery and fall down!

After seeing off the two little princesses, Chen Fang was sitting by the fire, with his hands on top of the fire, and suddenly became interested for some reason.

Green Ant New Distillery, red clay small stove.

Now that we have come to the Tang Dynasty, how can we not enjoy the beauty of this poem.

Chen Fang deeply remembered Bai Juyi's gift to Liu Jiujiu.Coincidentally, it was Tang Dynasty at this time. Although it was not the era that Bai Juyi lived in, it was less than a hundred years away.

Chapter 44 Wei Chen dares to have an idea

What is Green Ant New Fermented Rice Wine actually refers to the freshly brewed rice wine, which is named after a layer of unfiltered green foam floating on it.

At this time, the breakfast had just been used up, and Dingyu brought two jars of rice wine newly brewed by Ye Ting Palace this year. For some reason, Master suddenly asked her to prepare these.

If the master wants it, he will naturally bring it up when he has time.

When Chen Fang saw the rice wine, he took off the sealing mud and removed the cover. As expected, there was a layer of green foam on the newly brewed rice wine. The ancients did not deceive me.

The aroma of the wine is tangy and mellow, but not strong.

Seeing the wine, how can I lose a plate of peanuts at this time.

Chen Fang went to the Shangshi Bureau and took charge of the spoon himself. With a spoonful of hot oil, the peanuts fried in the hot oil produced a tempting aroma.

Simple method, simple condiments, combined with the peanuts from the land of Qilu, it is perfect.

I cooked two more side dishes, both of which were appetizers, and cut up a chicken. The cooks were all idle because they had just finished their breakfast, so they couldn't help but watch Chen Fang stir-fry. , I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.

Greedy!

"Are you guys busy? Let's go have a drink together if you're not busy."

Hearing that Chen Fang asked them to drink, the cooks cheered and the young one jumped up early.

At this time, the stove is very busy, already warming the newly brewed green ants this year.

When the wine was warmed up, Chen Fang personally filled several white porcelain bowls on one table.It's just rice wine, so I'm not afraid that these cooks will make mistakes if they get drunk.

In fact, the chefs of Shangshi Bureau drink a lot on weekdays, but in this era, due to the brewing technology, the wine is more mellow, but the alcohol content is not very high.Basically hardly intoxicating.

It is snowing heavily outside, and the world is plain white.

The fire in the house is strong, and the smell of wine is tangy.With peanuts and other appetizers, the people at the table had a great time eating.

When the work was over, Dingyu ordered people to remove the tables and stools, and the dishes and empty wine jars were naturally brought back to Shangshi Bureau.

People have already come to Ganlu Hall, bringing rewards from His Majesty and Empress.The two little princesses took the toothpaste to the Temple of Manna in the morning, and the reward had already arrived.

It was soap and toilet paper. Chen Fang felt a little depressed when he saw the reward.

Why are these every time, can't change some tricks.On second thought, maybe this is the usual practice.

"Master Chen, Your Majesty and Your Majesty asked you to go to the Palace of Ganlu to discuss matters."

"Oh, father-in-law lead the way!"

The old eunuch walked in front, followed by Chen Fang.Your majesty's concubine must have something to do with the toothpaste when she recruited herself.

Although there are few things made now, it is still enough to satisfy His Majesty and several nobles in the palace.Of course, Chen Fang must also be satisfied, after all, he did not want to use coarse salt to make it.

In fact, Chen Fang has been doing things for his own needs, such as rapeseed oil and toothpaste.As for the chrysanthemum wine recipe, it was just a random recipe. For him, it was just a recipe remembered in his mind, just write it down.

"My minister bows to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"The humble minister kowtowed to see the empress..."

"Ai Qing is free, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I don't know why Your Majesty invited my ministers to have an audience?"

Chen Fang asked the question knowingly, but he had to ask this too, the king's heart is unpredictable!If it wasn't because of the toothpaste, wouldn't it be embarrassing to say it outright?

"Aiqing, how many things did you get from An Ding and Tai Ping today?"

Sure enough, His Majesty is concerned about this matter, but this question is a bit strange, directly asking how many there are, does His Majesty want to popularize toothpaste in this palace.

Or, to go one step further, use this thing as a bargaining chip in foreign trade. The purchase of soap, glass, and toilet paper over the years has allowed Western Qin and Northern Han to make a lot of huge profits.

Datang has long been resentful about these things, but this thing can be made by Guogongfang in other countries. It is a monopoly. If you want to buy it, you have to follow other people's price tags.

Obviously, the aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty cannot do without these things. Who would want to use toilet chips and soil lumps if they are used to toilet paper.Used to soap, who would like to have to brush the face with water every day.Knowing that he was slaughtered, he had to stick his head in and get stabbed.

No one wants to be slaughtered, but there is nothing you can do about it.

In recent years, Datang has sold porcelain, silk and tea very well, but others can make these things. If you want to sell them at sky-high prices, others can make them themselves.

Coupled with the long distance, in fact, these are not very profitable. Compared with glass soap, it is a world of difference.It's a bit like the Huaxia Kingdom of later generations exchanging shirts for airliners.

Who told these two countries to be built by Qin people and Han people, you have the technology, others have it, and others have it, but you don't have it.

Technology crushed and squeezed, Datang was powerless to fight back.

Your Majesty doesn't talk about it usually, but can you be happy in your heart?Above the court, the market and the countryside have already complained.

A roll of toilet paper is simply unaffordable for ordinary people, even for wealthy families, Xiaogui can only use it occasionally, which is considered a benefit to the buttocks.

As for soap and glass, that's really only for the real nobles.

At this time, the toothpaste made by the oil workshop appeared, and it was inevitable that His Majesty would not have the urge to give Xiqin and Beihan a blow back.

On the one hand, this is enough to show that the toothpaste is very satisfactory to His Majesty, on the other hand, it seems that His Majesty has long held a deep grudge against the trade methods of the Western Qin and Northern Han.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this thing is called toothpaste, and the oil workshop can only make a small amount at this time!"

"Oh, what's missing if more is to be made?"

Chen Fang listened to His Majesty's words, and it seemed that His Majesty was really annoyed with the state workshops of the Western Qin Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty.

In fact, Chen Fang was never annoyed, and even had the idea of ​​making soap glass, so that the monopoly trade of the West Qin State Workshop could no longer continue.

Of course, Chen Fang did not take any action. Firstly, the manpower and force required for these two things were not something he could bear at this time.The second is to make it, for fear of being suspicious.Thirdly, Chen Fang's need for these two things is not so urgent.

After all, Chen Fang couldn't explain how he obtained the formula and craftsmanship.

The chrysanthemum wine is just an improvement of the original formula, and the rapeseed oil is barely considered an innovation. In fact, your majesty probably already has some ideas in her heart when this toothpaste is made.

If glass soap is also made, it is not just some ideas.

It is said that it was obtained from the envoys of the Western Qin Dynasty. The problem is that this is the Royal Workshop of the Western Qin Dynasty. The secret of the Qin Workshop is impossible for the envoys to know.

Seeing that Chen Fang remained silent for a long time, Li Zhi coughed softly.

"Your Majesty, if possible, please send some more people to the oil workshop."

"This Aiqing can just go to the steward of Yeting Palace directly. You want people to give, and you want things to give things."

Chen Fang did not expect that Li Zhi was so generous, it seemed that toothpaste, as a trade weapon with Western Qin and Northern Han, was inevitable.

At this moment, Chen Fang felt that he could go further, but he didn't know what the emperor wanted, so he might as well give it a try.

"Your Majesty, I dare to have an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
