Chapter 21 Toothbrush
After Wei Qing heard Liu Che's words, he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Qing is too stupid to take on such a big responsibility. I can only try my best!"
Liu Che put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "This matter is indeed a bit difficult. You have to observe Mr. Tang more and figure out his preferences, and then you can know how to recruit him."
Wei Qing pondered for two seconds and nodded: "I understand, if Mr. Tang likes beauties, I will give him ten or eight beauties; if Mr. Tang likes money, I will give him a million gold!"
"well!"
Liu Che sighed and said: "These are things that ordinary people like. Mr. Tang is a man of gods and immortals, so he may not like it. You still need to observe it carefully!"
In fact, if Wei Qing really put ten or eight beauties in front of Tang Qi, Tang Qi would definitely pounce on them screaming.
We are all mortals, who is truly noble?
Drinking, sex and wealth are loved by everyone!
Tang Qi is no exception.
Unfortunately, Liu Che didn't believe that Tang Qi liked these things.
It can only be said that something happened by mistake.
After a brief exchange, Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu went back to rest.
…
Time passed by and it was the next morning.
Tang Qi got up early and started exercising.
Warm up by running, push-ups, sit-ups, and boxing.
This is Tang Qi’s essential morning exercise.
When the exercise reached the fourth step, Wei Qing came.
He didn't say anything, just stood aside and quietly watched Tang Qi boxing.
Tang Qi's punches were basically routines in free fighting.
It has strong practicality, average aesthetics, and really has nothing to look at.
Tang Qi was stared at for a while and felt uncomfortable all over.
He stopped punching, looked at Wei Qing and said, "What are you looking at?"
Wei Qing replied honestly: "I'm watching you practice boxing!"
Tang Qi curled his lips and said: "What's so good about me practicing boxing? Just a few moves back and forth!"
Wei Qing pondered for two seconds and then said: "Although Mr. Tang, your moves are relatively few, they are all refined and extremely lethal. If they can be promoted to the army, it should greatly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers."
Tang Qi sneered and said: "Nowadays, the army focuses on strengthening physical fitness and discipline. They practice military boxing and enemy-catching boxing. There are very few people who practice free fighting. That thing is good for individual practice, but it has no impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the army."
The improvement effect is not big.”
"Military Boxing and Enemy Capturing Boxing?"
Wei Qing said confusedly: "Which army's boxing technique is this? Why have I never heard of it? Could it be the army on Penglai Immortal Island? The place where the gods live also needs an army?"
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and didn't want to say anything more.
This guy is getting into the act again.
What a talent.
Even though I was living on a deserted island, I still stepped into the role early in the morning and thought of myself as an ancient person.
Tang Qi now suspected that these three people had escaped from the mental hospital.
But these three people looked quite normal when they weren't sick, so Tang Qi didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.
"Okay, let's not discuss boxing anymore. Check to see if those two are up. If they are, call them up and go to the fields with me to harvest sweet potatoes!"
Tang Qi changed the topic and went to get water and brush his teeth.
For a modern person, it is really uncomfortable to get up early every day without brushing your teeth.
Of course, there are no toothbrushes and toothpaste on a desert island.
Tang Qi used willow branches as toothbrushes.
Soak willow branches in water overnight, then bite them open to reveal the willow fibers inside, which look like tiny wooden comb teeth, similar to a toothbrush.
As for toothpaste, Tang Qi really can’t produce anything similar.
The only way to do this is by drying the rosin and Poria cocos in the sun and pounding them, then adding fine salt to make a simple tooth powder.
Brushing your teeth with willow branches dipped in tooth powder can also clean your mouth, but it may hurt your gums.
Fortunately, Tang Qi's current physical condition is good, his teeth are tight, and he can still do some work.
While Tang Qi was brushing his teeth, Liu Che, Wei Zifu and Wei Qing came over.
"Mr. Tang!"
Liu Che greeted Tang Qi warmly.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as "good morning" or "good evening". When we met and greeted each other in the morning, we basically just saluted and asked if the other person had eaten.
Tang Qi was brushing his teeth and couldn't respond to Liu Che, so he just hummed.
Liu Che didn't take it seriously, but looked at Tang Qi with interest and said, "Mr. Tang also likes to brush his teeth when he gets up early? It's exactly the same as me. I feel uncomfortable every day if I don't brush my teeth when I get up!"
"Hululu, poof!"
Tang Qi rinsed his mouth, spit out the mouthwash, and then looked at Liu Che and said: "There is no one who likes or dislikes brushing your teeth. It's mainly for hygiene. If you want to brush your teeth, just get a branch and dip it in tooth powder!"
After speaking, Tang Qi grabbed a small handful from the jar of tooth powder and placed it on the stone slab in front of him.
Liu Che said happily: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Tang."
He picked up a willow branch and skillfully bit open the bark of the branch to reveal the fibers inside.
Seeing this, Tang Qi was slightly surprised and said: "Okay, Old Liu, I didn't expect you to use this. I thought modern people only use toothbrushes to brush their teeth!"
"Isn't this just a toothbrush? I use it to brush my teeth every morning!"
Liu Che said, dipped a willow branch in some tooth powder, put it into his mouth and started brushing it.
After just two brushes, Liu Che's eyes widened and he said, "This tooth powder smells so good, it's not bitter at all. It's much better than what I use!"
The tooth powder used in the Han Dynasty was made by grinding dried tea leaves into powder and then adding salt.
Tea is inherently bitter, and with the addition of salt that is not pure enough, it becomes terribly bitter, but it does have the effect of freshening your breath and brightening your teeth.
As an emperor, Liu Che had been using tea salt powder to brush his teeth since he was a child, so he was used to it.
Liu Che was a little uncomfortable with the sudden use of such fragrant tooth powder.
There was water in Tang Qi's mouth, and he said vaguely: "What a good thing this is. I just want to use toothpaste to brush my teeth now. What cold sour spirit, double-sided needle will do, I have used enough of this stuff!"
Liu Che brushed his teeth twice, spit out the water, and then sighed: "Mr. Tang is really worthy of being a fairy. Such a fragrant tooth powder is not a good thing. I really want to see the toothpaste you mentioned Mr. Tang when I have the opportunity. It must be
The effect is magical.”
Tang Qi was speechless again.
As for that!
Talk about toothpaste as if it is a rare and priceless treasure.
In fact, you can buy one at any small store for two yuan.
Forget it, I don’t have the same experience as a mental patient.
Tang Qi brushed his teeth and stopped talking to Liu Che.
When Liu Che saw this, he wisely stopped talking to Tang Qi. Instead, he picked up another willow branch and handed it to Wei Zifu, asking Wei Zifu to brush his teeth with him.
As for Wei Qing, just rinse your mouth with some salt water.
