After the uniform was set, Qin Mo turned his attention to another problem-hygiene.
Those students actually had fleas on their bodies, and the mud on their bodies could be rubbed into a thick layer. This was simply intolerable.
Therefore, Qin Mo set the strictest hygiene regulations, and all students had to follow them.
Then, a great invention was about to be born.
The invention was soap.
The reason was that the students didn't have good bathing supplies. They didn't even have them. They couldn't clean them well.
The commoners of the Tang Empire used soap to wash their hair and clean themselves. Old Qin's family also used this thing, but Qin Mo was not used to it.
It was time to invent soap. He went online to find out how to make soap and found that it required the use of soda. Qin Mo could not extract it for the time being.
Therefore, he used plant ash as a replacement.
The recipe of the soap was also simple. The recipe of the natural soap was just a mixture of oil and plant ash.
Lard was used for the oil. The Chinese Academy of Sciences 'canteen killed a few big fat pigs every day, so the oil was made of lard.
The students of the academy were quite dissatisfied with many of the academy's rules, but they liked this dining hall the most. Every day, before it was time for dinner, the students would wait there.
The chef in the dining hall was brought over by Qin Manor and had inherited Qin Mo's teachings. His new style was to stir-fry vegetables, allowing these students to eat to their heart's content.
Even Kong Yingda, Yan Shigu, and the others were full of praise for this dining hall. They praised that it was not inferior to the royal chefs in the palace. If they could eat such delicious food every day, it would be worth it to stay in the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a lifetime.
It had to be said that the salary of the academy teachers was very high in Tang Chao's name. It was a full twenty strings.
What kind of concept was this?
During the prosperous Zhenguan period, grain prices ranged from three to five wen per catty. Even now, when grain prices skyrocketed to thirty wen, a month's salary could buy more than six hundred catties of grain.
This was enough to feed a family. The Academy also distributed brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Paper was relatively expensive in the Tang Empire, and scholars were not willing to use it.
As the saying went, there must be brave men under great rewards. The Chinese Academy of Sciences teachers who taught children Pinyin Mathematics were attracted by this.
Not everyone was as rich as Old Kong.
Qin Manor.
Qin Mo asked the cook to bring him some pig fat. He made a big pot and mixed it with water from plant ash to make soap.
"Dalang, what are you doing?" The one who lit the fire was Cheng Chuliang. Ever since he was taught a lesson by Old Confucius in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he had become much more low-key. Sometimes, he would have nightmares and shout," I don't dare to act tough anymore."
"This is soap." Qin Mo said. He was too lazy to explain what soap was. Even with Cheng Chuliang's IQ, he wouldn't understand.
Cheng Chubi swallowed his saliva." Is this delicious?”
They couldn't be blamed for having such thoughts. They could only blame Qin Mo's cooking for being too delicious. Now that he was cooking something in the pot, they subconsciously thought that he was cooking something delicious.
"It's not food." Qin Mo said," It's for bathing.”
"For bathing?" Cheng Chu Bi lost interest.
"Chu Bi, how many words do you know?”Qin Mo asked.
"I know 300 words." Cheng Chubi had been to school and his foundation was not bad. However, he had forgotten everything after being taught by his teacher. It was an accident that he could recognize so many words in the Academy.
"It's rare." Qin Mo was slightly surprised.
Cheng Chubi said weakly," I don't want to be confined by Chancellor Kong. Brother still has nightmares sometimes when he sleeps now.”
"What does detention have to do with you being literate?”Qin Mo asked curiously.
"Teacher Sun said that if I were to drag him down, he would capture me and put me in confinement for Chancellor Kong.”Cheng Chu Bi's face was filled with sorrow.
What an unlucky child! Qin Mo wouldn't tell him that Master Sun was just scaring him.
The water in the pot was slowly boiling dry. Hearing that it was not delicious, Cheng Chubi lost interest.
The three of them bragged as they boiled the soap.
After an hour, the water in the pot was boiled dry, leaving behind a thick soap liquid.
So Qin Mo and Cheng Chuliang put the soap on the iron plate and made it into a square shape, a big square.
He planned to cut it after the cold cutting.
Two hours later, the soap was cold.
Qin Mo began to cut it into small pieces.
As it was his first time making it, he did not make much, only sixteen pieces.
"What are you guys doing?" Old Yuchi's foolish voice rang out.
He turned around and saw Li Er and the others.
Old Qin, Old Cunning, Old Foolish Yuchi, and Li Er's children, Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi.
"Qin Dalang, where are you?" Li Lizhi said cutely.
"Yes! Your Highness." Qin Mo said.
Looking at the cute Li Lizhi, Qin Mo felt that he was going to become a lolicon.
"You guys are cooking?" Foolish Yuchi looked at the soap placed beside the pot.
Li Er asked," What kind of fresh food is this?”
He didn't recognize the soap on the iron plate and thought it was a new dish made by Qin Mo.
They knew about Qin Mo's culinary skills and were a little tempted.
Qin Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes at this group of gluttons.
"I'll try first." Old Foolish Yuchi didn't hold back at all. He picked up a piece and bit down on half of it.
"Bah! Bah! Bah! What was this? It tastes so bad." Foolish Yuchi spat out the soap in his mouth.
Qin Mo looked at this old fellow sympathetically. With this fellow's intelligence, he would be poisoned to death sooner or later.
Qin Mo said weakly," This is soap. It's used to wash away dirt in the shower.”
"Why didn't you say so earlier?”Old Yuchi stared foolishly.
Qin Mo said," I haven't said anything yet and you've already eaten it. Quickly get some water to rinse your mouth."”
He was also afraid that Old Foolish Yuchi would be poisoned to death.
Li Er and the others looked at Old Foolish Yuchi as if he was an idiot. He dared to stuff it into his mouth without asking anything.
After gargling his mouth, Old Foolish Yuchi heard Qin Mo say that this thing could remove dirt, so he took it to wash his hands." This thing is indeed not bad. It's much better than soap.”
Qin Mo said," Not only can soap be used to wash hands, but it can also be used to wash clothes.”
Therefore, the country bumpkins of the Tang Dynasty washed their hands with soap as if they had seen something new." This thing is not bad.”
They felt that it was good, so they asked Qin Mo for it." Give me a few pieces.”
These guys were simply robbers, so they used the paper box to pick up the soap and gave each of them two pieces.
Li Chengqian came over to help." Qin Dalang, let me help you pick up the soap."”
"No, I still prefer the princess to help me pick it up.”Qin Mo suddenly felt his anus tighten. Xiao Li's hobby of picking up soap since he was young was unacceptable.
Qin Dalang, let me help you." Li Lizhi came over to help happily.
Li Chengqian was in a mess in the wind. He muttered softly," I value sex over friends.”
Li Er saw his daughter and Qin Mo making eyes at each other and humming non-stop, but Qin Mo pretended not to hear it.
"Your Highness, I'll give you a soap. It's a hundred times better than this soap.”
Qin Mo returned to the bedroom and pretended to look around. In fact, he had bought a few handmade soaps from Taobao.
These handmade soaps were claimed to be all natural. They were made with high-grade olive oil, added with the essence of flowers, and also with glycerine. They had a strong hydrating effect and were very gentle to the skin. After washing, the skin would be as tender as egg white.
Moreover, the handmade soap was crystal clear and sold much better than the soap he made.
"Thank you, Qin Dalang." Li Lizhi smiled sweetly.
Li Er stared at him from the side." That despicable child seduced my princess."”
