Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Not long after, Shouhou brought Feng Suo and two other eunuchs to carry the big box at the back of the carriage.

Zhou Chang also stood up and prepared to speak to Emperor Lin.

Emperor Lin looked up past her and looked behind him: "Duo'er, where have you been in such a hot day?"

Zhou Chang turned around as well. She hadn’t even noticed that Prince Rong was not there.

Prince Rong bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I'm going to take a look at my mother. She can't stand the heat and is feeling unwell. I'm going to have someone take her back to the palace to rest."

The Emperor nodded, unable to bear the heat any longer: "Yes, I am also feeling unwell. Please continue the feast, I will also go and relax."

Fang She hurried forward to help Emperor Lin up.

Everyone quickly stood up and saw him off.

The emperor couldn't stand the heat, so he went for a walk, leaving everyone else in the imperial garden to suffer the heat.

However, this is also the tradition of the Lin country, that is, if the host of the banquet leaves early, the guests are not only not allowed to follow him, but also have to stay and have a good time to show their respect for the host's thoughtful hospitality.

The ministers were so miserable that they had no choice but to sit back down.

After Prince Duan respectfully sent Emperor Lin off, he immediately shouted, "Add ice, bring more ice."

"Yes." The eunuchs agreed verbally, but in fact they had added ice more than once, but it was of no use.

Zhou Chang was originally worried about the emperor's presence and had to find a good time to speak, but now that the emperor had left, he no longer had any scruples and stood up and said loudly, "Ice is useless, the cicadas' chirping is disturbing. I have a way to make everyone present quiet instantly."

"Oh, what is that?" Prince Rong was also sweating profusely and was sitting at the top to cool off the sweat.

Zhou Chang wanted to keep it a secret: "Don't worry, Prince Rong. My method will definitely work, but it really took a lot of effort, so I can't show it to others easily."

Prince Duan Fengrui played the role of "anti-fan" conscientiously, and raised his chin again: "What good ideas do you have? Don't even mention cutting down trees. These trees are hundreds of years old. They were left by our ancestors."

He had this idea just now, but unfortunately he knew it wouldn't work.

"Brother Prince Duan, do you want to make a bet with me?" Zhou Chang also recognized him.

"What are you betting on?" Prince Duan had drunk a lot of wine just now, and now he was even more confused due to the heat.

"Everyone," Zhou Chang suddenly walked to the center of the ceiling and raised his voice, "You are all welcome to make a bet with me. If I use my method, I can still hear the cicada chirping. Then for every cicada chirp, I will pay you one tael of silver. But if I succeed, you will also need to pay according to the number of cicada chirps. Is anyone willing to make a bet?"

"One or two taels of silver, Brother Nine, I'll bet." The twelfth prince Feng Suo was the first to stand up and support.

"Okay, let's bet."

"bet……"

"It's so noisy, betting..."

One or two taels of silver was not worth mentioning to everyone present. Moreover, they were hot, annoyed and bored, so they all followed suit.

Zhou Chang only stared at Prince Duan.

The eyes on the top of Prince Duan's head made it easy to see the noisy cicadas in the trees. He couldn't think of any good solution for a long time. "Well, it's rare that you, who are so stingy, are willing to give money to everyone. Why not? I'll make a bet with you."

Zhou Chang pretended not to hear his public ridicule and waved back, signaling the skinny monkey to bring the things up.

The skinny monkey carried the box to the center of the ground under the scorching sun, opened the lid, and inside was a brocade box full of palm-sized items.

When the brocade box was opened again, inside were two light yellow round wax balls the size of two fingertips.

"Hey, what is that?" Everyone was curious because they had never seen it before.

"Distribute them, two to each person," Zhou Chang ordered.

The skinny monkey led the people downward.

Zhou Chang had a light sleep in both of his lives and had difficulty falling asleep at the slightest noise.

In her previous life, she had soundproof wax earplugs and silicone earplugs available, but in this life she has neither, so she has to do it herself.

This plane is an ancient time and space, and silicone cannot be relied upon, but she vaguely remembered that wax pills were made of wax, vaseline and cotton.

There is no Vaseline in this time and space, but after much research with Shopkeeper Fu Mingfu, they decided to use snake oil instead.

After repeated trials and improvements, and adding the soup of two medicinal herbs, they finally created this soft little wax ball that can be kneaded and deformed at will.

Zhou Chang demonstrated and explained the method of use in public: "This pill is called Purification Pill. Just rub it with one hand, lift your ear with the other hand, put it in, and wait for three breaths. One, two, three, then let go, and then switch to the other ear..."

Feng Suo was the first to learn it.

"How is it? Can you still hear the sound?" Zhou Chang asked.

No one answered.

Zhou Chang smiled: "Then it works."

Feng Shuo was a die-hard fan and nodded enthusiastically.

Prince Duan is a black fan, he only watches but does not follow.

But many people who followed suit soon began to marvel at it.

In their understanding, wax balls are hollow, and once formed, they are hard and brittle and can only be broken but not deformed.

Zhou Chang's Qingjing Pills can not only deform, but can even rebound and fill automatically.

"Shuo'er, take the purification pills to the other side and distribute them to the ladies." Zhou Chang did not forget the women with the highest spending power in Lin State.

"Yes, don't worry, Brother Jiu." Feng Suo felt that the wax ball was fun, so he kneaded it in his hands and jumped with it before taking people away.

Zhou Chang walked around to make sure everyone had one and was using it.

Many curious officials gathered around to ask how this thing was made.

"It's a secret, but it's made of very precious materials, so one pill costs one hundred taels of silver, and a pair costs two hundred taels. If you need it in the future, you can go to the Siwei Medicine Shop in Jixiangfang to buy it." Zhou Chang took the opportunity to advertise.

"You are taking advantage of the situation. How can such a small thing be more expensive than a gold bead?" Prince Duan never tried it, but still wanted to argue with Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang didn't care, his phoenix eyes smiled like a fox: "Brother Prince Duan, it's up to you whether to use it or not, but you still have to pay the money. After all, you agreed to the bet just now. Now pay the money according to the sound of the cicadas. How much should you pay?"

"Don't even think about it. I won't give you a penny." Prince Duan was always strong.

Zhou Chang refused to give in: "Are you going to say something wrong in public?"

"What slip of the tongue? Were you the one who cheated?" Prince Duan stood up suddenly.

Zhou Chang spread his hands: "How can I cheat?"

Prince Duan was unable to say anything, so he had to change his position and glanced at all the ministers: "Don't you think there is a trick?"

All the ministers looked at each other.

The two princes were quarreling, and neither of them wanted to get into trouble.

"If you are willing to accept the loss, everyone present today must take out the money since we made the bet just now." Zhou Chang had been staying in Prince Yi's mansion for these days, just waiting for such an opportunity to make a big profit in one go.

"What can you do if I don't give it to you?" Prince Duan raised his chin and was about to act tough.

Zhou Chang was not afraid. He stood in front of Prince Duan, thrust out his chest, and towered over him by more than half a head. "You won't give it to me? Every extra day counts as interest. Sooner or later, I will get my principal and interest back."

The air was tense and heavy. "I thought I was loved, but it turned out I was deceived again. It turned out I was dreaming again."
