5,000多年前,埃及国王胡夫准备宴请宾客,厨师不慎将一盆食油打翻在灭了火的木炭上。他担心引起火灾,就把木炭捧到外面.说也奇怪,当他洗手的时候,意外地发现手洗得很光滑.他把这事告诉了同伴,大家一试,一致感觉好极了。后来他们就在木炭上浇点油,用它来洗手。国王知道了,也叫人这样做,供宫里的人洗手用。这就是最早的肥皂了。 More than 5,000 years ago, the Egyptian king Khufu was preparing to invite guests. The chef accidentally splashed a pot of cooking oil on fire-extinguishing charcoal. He was worried about putting out the charcoal in case of a fire and strangely surprised to find that when he was washing his hands, he accidentally discovered that his hands were smooth and he told the companions about it. Then they poured oil on charcoal and used it to wash their hands. The king knew it, and called for doing so, for the hand washing in the palace. This is the earliest soap.
