Chapter 287 The Role of Soap
Chapter 287 The Role of Soap
The fat boy listened to the cursing from those people. He really felt so aggrieved that he didn't know where to express it.
After getting off the city wall, Xiao Dun got on his horse and said:
"Hurry up, His Highness must be getting anxious by now."
Ma Ti worked very quickly, and soon the three of them arrived at the Earl's Mansion.
After handing the horse to the servant, Xiao Dun took the two of them into the mansion.
Butler Tru told Earl Shoten that he was waiting for them in the study. When they arrived at the study, Shoten knocked on the door, then opened the door and led the two into the study.
At this time, Huidun was standing in front of the study window with his hands behind his back. He was looking through the window at the slowly restored order in the new city area outside the city.
Xiao Dun turned around and looked at the three people, then he sat down and asked:
"What are these two guys doing? How did they make such a big noise?"
The little fat man spoke as fast as ever. He immediately said:
"My Lord Earl, I don't know any of this. I just followed Brown's instructions. I didn't know that what he asked me to make was so powerful."
Then the little fat boy pretended to cry and said:
"My Lord, you don't know. Brown asked me to make such a dangerous thing without telling me the details in advance. If I hadn't been very careful during the production process, you wouldn't have seen this chubby little boy of mine."
The little fat boy even acted silly and cute at the end.
But to be honest, at his age, with that chubby little face, he is still kind of adorable when he acts cute.
His antics almost made Huidun laugh, but Huidun suppressed his laughter and still had to scold him.
"You are too irresponsible. Don't you know that the territory is still in the process of post-disaster reconstruction? You have made such a big fuss. Isn't this going to bring back bad memories for everyone?"
At this time, Huidun had no idea how terrifying the thing Chen Cheng asked the fat man to make was.
Xiao Dun, who had always wanted to report, couldn't find a starting point again and again.
At this time, the fat man and Chen Cheng were feeling very proud. They had already expected that if Xiao Dun had spoken first, the two would not have just given a mild reprimand.
If Huidun knew the power of what the two of them had done, he would definitely skin them alive.
So the two of them tacitly agreed to calm Huidun's anger first.
"You two brats, wait for me."
Then he looked at Xiao Dun and said:
"Tell me in detail what these two guys did."
Xiao Dun found the opportunity. He didn't want to take the blame for Chen Cheng and the other man, so he immediately told them everything he knew from Chen Cheng.
Xiao Dun, who was originally in a good mood, couldn't sit still when he heard that Chen Cheng and his men had a warehouse of such dangerous potions outside the city.
He came forward and grabbed the two men's ears and said:
"You are so brave. You dare to do something so dangerous by yourself."
Then Huidun paid special attention to Chen Cheng's ears. He knew that this must be Chen Cheng's idea for the fat man, otherwise how could he come up with such a dangerous and powerful potion.
Chen Cheng kept crying out in pain. He held Huidun's hand and said:
"This is really not intentional. We are not making any explosive potion here. What the fat guy and I are going to make is soap, a soap with strong cleaning ability."
Then Chen Cheng took out the soap he and the fat boy had used to wash their hands from his pocket.
Huidun let go of the fat boy's hand and took the soap from Chen Cheng.
Just when Chen Cheng thought Huidun would let him go, Huidun showed no sign of letting go.
He looked at the slippery soap in his hand, then smelled it but didn't smell any fragrance.
He then said:
"Don't lie to me, kid."
Chen Cheng immediately said:
"I'm not kidding you. Let go of your hands and I'll teach you how to use soap."
Then Chen Cheng looked at the little fat man who was rubbing his ears and asked him to testify for him quickly.
Although the little fat man wanted to see Chen Cheng being punished for a little longer, but seeing that Chen Cheng was looking at him, he had no choice but to speak:
"Lord Brown didn't lie to you. This is the soap we want to produce and sell."
Huidun released the hand that was pulling Chen Cheng's ear, and then asked Chen Cheng to demonstrate it to him.
Then Chen Cheng looked around Huidun's study and saw the oily magic water on Huidun's desk.
He directly picked up the ink bottle and poured a little on his hand, then dyed his entire hand black with ink. Then he picked up the soap, looked at Huidun and said:
"My Lord Earl, please lend a hand. Can you give me some water?"
Huidun used his chaos magic to transform into water magic, and Chen Cheng immediately started to scrub with soap.
In a few strokes, the ink that was difficult to wash off was quickly washed away, and Chen Cheng waved his clean hands in front of Huidun.
This time Huidun really imagined what Chen Cheng said.
After Chen Cheng put down the soap, he smiled and said:
“My Lord, this thing can not only wash your hands, but also wash clothes and your body.
Using this soap to clean your body and clothes will not only make them cleaner, but will also reduce many illnesses caused by poor personal hygiene."
Although Huidun didn't know what diseases were caused by personal hygiene problems, he knew that washing the body and clothes could reduce illness, which was very important for him as an earl who owned territory and people.
Huidun smiled with satisfaction while holding the soap.
But Huidun was not so easily fooled. He still remembered the previous explosion and he didn't believe that the soap would explode.
"Tell me, what happened to the explosion?"
Chen Cheng had no intention of hiding it. The reason he mentioned the soap was to ease Huidun's anger.
Then Chen Cheng scratched his head and said:
"After producing soap, there is still some residue. This is in line with the principle of not wasting anything. So I asked the little fat man to make this little bit of explosives."
Speaking of explosives, Xiao Dun was very impressed by Chen Cheng's ability to lie with his eyes open.
Although he didn't know the power of explosives, he knew the power of an epic full-strength attack.
To achieve that kind of effect, the amount of explosives must be astonishing.
Huidun is not a fool. He has also seen potions that can produce explosions like explosive fireballs. The dosage of that potion is not small. And the attack of Chen Cheng, who has reached the epic level, must also contain a lot of explosives.
Seeing Huidun banging on the table and staring at him, Chen Cheng could only explain it in a little more detail.
In fact, what Chen Cheng said was true. If it was as he said, these ten tons were really just a drop in the bucket for him.
Because Chen Cheng made these explosives not to make dynamite packs, but to make propellants and explosives for firearms such as cannons and rifles.
These ten tons are just enough for one experiment.
