Xie An and Xie Nanxing followed Su Yu back to the East Courtyard.

Su Yu ordered: "Come in and help."

"Yes," the two responded.

Su Yu walked into the room and first checked the basin of alkaline water. The liquid had begun to stratify, and the white layer at the bottom of the basin was baking soda.

Su Yu pointed at the basin of lye water and said, "Xie An, first pour out the clear water from the top of this basin, and keep the white powder that has settled at the bottom. Then spread it out in a bamboo basket to dry."

After this dries, divide the white alkali into two parts and then come back to tell me. I'm going to the study first.

"yes".

Su Yu returned to the study, took out rice paper, and began to write the toothpaste recipe.

The first part: bamboo charcoal, bamboo leaves, and water.

The second part: baking soda, chicken gizzard lining, bamboo leaves, and water.

The third portion: baking soda, chicken gizzard lining, bamboo leaves, mint, and water.

He originally wanted to add pearl powder to it to make it a luxury product, but the price of ordinary pearls reached ten taels per catty, which was too expensive and the cost was too high, so it was not cost-effective. It would be better to sell this idea to Huangjinlou, which would please him and would not arouse envy.

It doesn't matter if luxury goods are sold at a higher price, but it's a bit embarrassing for him to do this business given his current status. If he makes too much money and it's too eye-catching, it will definitely bring disaster.

Moreover, this place is far from the sea, the supply of pearls is not stable, and the price is also fluctuating. He plans to establish a long-term business cooperation that does not require too much energy and manpower, and saving time is also a point he considers.

After the supply stabilizes, he only needs to provide the goods and does not have to worry about sales channels. He can just sit at home and collect the money. It is really a good thing.

He wrote out the list first to avoid getting lost in the details. He planned to divide the products into three categories. The first category, with the least ingredients, would be aimed at ordinary customers and would be priced low. The main point was that everyone could afford it, and the planned wholesale price was ten cents a can.

The second tier is middle-class customers, and the target group is landlords and wealthy businessmen who have become well-off. The planned wholesale price is two taels of silver per can.

The third tier is high-end customers. Mint leaves are added to the toothpaste for high-end customers to enhance the taste and make it more refreshing. The target group is officials and super-rich businessmen, and the planned wholesale price is five taels of silver per can.

The fourth tier was based on the third tier, with pearl powder added. It looked luxurious and noble, suitable for royal relatives and superior officials. He planned to dedicate this tier to the Golden House.

He took out another piece of paper and used charcoal to draw some design drawings of modern fitness equipment, including barbells, dumbbells, and horizontal bars.

Su Yu put the drawings aside and picked up the Analects on the table to continue studying. Last time he read the "Learning" chapter, this time he read the second chapter "Governance".

Confucius said: "Governing with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and all the other stars revolve around it."

Confucius said: "A person who governs his country with morality will stand firmly in his proper place like the North Star. Wherever he is, all the stars will revolve around him."

Confucius said: "The three hundred poems in the Book of Songs can be summed up in one word: 'Think without evil.'"

Confucius said: "The three hundred poems in the Book of Songs can be summed up in one word: 'pure thought.'"

The Master said, "Govern the people with laws and regulations, and regulate them with punishments; and the people will avoid punishment but will lack shame. Govern the people with virtue and regulate them with rites, and they will have a sense of shame and will be upright."

It can be interpreted as: "Confucius said: "Governing the people through force and legal prohibitions, and restraining the people through punishment, the people can only refrain from doing bad things in order to avoid being punished, but they have no heart to refrain from doing evil.

By promoting morality to guide the people and using rituals to regulate their words and deeds, the people will understand integrity and right and wrong, and will feel submission from the heart."

Confucius said: "When I was fifteen, I was determined to learn; when I was thirty, I was established; when I was forty, I was not confused; when I was fifty, I knew the destiny; when I was sixty, my ears were obedient; when I was seventy, I followed my heart's desires without exceeding the rules."

Confucius said: "At fifteen, I was devoted to learning; at thirty, I had my own set of principles; at forty, I was no longer perplexed by things; at fifty, I knew what was beyond human control; at sixty, I could correctly treat all kinds of opinions and be tolerant, without feeling uncomfortable listening; at seventy, I could do what I wanted without breaking the rules."

Su Yu continued as she did last time, reading the original text while translating its meaning in order to understand and memorize the original text.

I kept reading, reciting silently, getting stuck, and rereading again. Over and over again, I finally finished reciting the article after an hour.

He recalled the Xue Er chapter he had learned last time, but he could recite it in a disjointed manner and it took him a long time to memorize it.

Su Yu sighed, "It's really not easy. I remember that in modern times, it only took him half an hour to memorize such a short article. How come in ancient times, he still needs to memorize it for an hour?" (P.S.: One hour is equal to two hours).

“And was he transported into the body of a goldfish? Why is his memory so poor???”, he was puzzled.

He continued to speculate, it was really strange, could it be that traveling through the time tunnel made him stupid and his soul was damaged?

"Ding ding ding... Host, host, this isn't an injury from traveling through time. Rather, this body originally had a low IQ, unlike an average person." The system's baby voice sounded at the perfect moment, eager to explain.

After the system finished speaking, it flattered him and said, "The original body's initial intelligence was only 30 points. Due to the arrival of the host, it has now increased to 55 points. The host is already very powerful."

Su Yu was speechless. It seemed that his IQ in this body was still five points short of the passing line for ordinary people.

Su Yu asked again: "Is there any way to solve this problem? My reading efficiency is really too low."

The system said in a soft voice: "Host can complete tasks to improve intelligence points." The voice was extremely tempting, and it felt like it was deceiving a child.

Even if Su Yu knew, he didn't care about it anymore and continued to ask: "For example? How to complete the task?"

The system said sweetly: "You can complete the tasks assigned by the system to improve your intelligence points. As your points go up, your memory will also improve."

Su Yu said anxiously: "Then let's complete the task quickly."

The system said with regret: "Sorry, host, you have to trigger the task before you can get the task assigned."

Su Yu continued to ask patiently, "How do I trigger the task?"

The system said: "The task can only be triggered when the event is triggered"! ! !

Su Yu felt helpless and finally couldn't help but complain: "You really have grasped the essence of nonsense literature."

It was not until this moment that Su Yu felt for the first time that this system was a puppet, and a somewhat stupid puppet at that. Ai was even smarter than it.

Su Yu had no choice but to continue trying hard to recite the next chapter, called "Ba Yi Pian".

It was not until Xie An came to tell Su Yu that the alkali powder had dried.

The toothpaste could finally be made, so Su Yu instructed Xie An to match the quantities of various ingredients according to the written recipe, and finally add ordinary water that Su Yu had already replaced with spiritual spring water.

The three types of toothpaste were soon mixed and can be used immediately, but the effect would be better if they were left overnight to allow the various ingredients to fully blend.

However, this was also his first attempt to travel back to ancient times.
