Chapter 455: This gap between the rich and the poor is ironic
Gu Lili smiled.
Ordinary soap, one tael of silver.
Soap takes a lot more effort to make than soap.
Extracting essential oils and transporting them back to the East China Sea is indeed time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.
Since the cost is high, the price will naturally be high.
At first, Gu Lili had set a price of five taels in her mind, but after hearing what Mrs. Lin said yesterday, Gu Lili felt that five taels of silver was still too little.
Anyway, ordinary people naturally can't afford this thing.
Those who can afford it are either rich or noble.
In this case, there is no need for Gu Lili to worry so much.
Yu Shanhai asked tentatively, "I wonder, County Lady, how much is this soap?"
Yu Shanhai also had his own guess in his mind that the price of this soap must be expensive.
Gu Lili didn't deliberately keep Yu Shanhai on suspense and directly said, "Ten taels of silver!"
These ten taels of silver were a huge sum of money for ordinary people.
Gu Shan, the father of Gu Lili and others, died for his country on the battlefield, and his pension was only ten taels.
However, in the eyes of the rich, it is just a box of money for cosmetics.
Therefore, this gap between the rich and the poor is quite ironic.
Yu Shanhai was so frightened that he trembled for a moment, but soon calmed down.
In Jiangdu, people were scrambling to buy soap for just three taels of silver.
In Beijing, the prices are even more outrageous.
Therefore, even if this soap cost ten taels of silver, Yu Shanhai believed that there would be a lot of people scrambling for it.
"Okay! Then it's settled. Here's one thousand taels of silver. Please keep it, County Lady!"
As Yu Shanhai spoke, he took out two silver notes worth five hundred taels from his purse and handed them to Gu Lili.
As if he was afraid that Gu Lili would go back on her word.
Gu Lili didn't hesitate and took the banknote directly.
"Mr. Yu, you must be exhausted from the long journey. How about you stay at my house tonight?" Gu Lili suggested.
We were acquaintances, and there were still many vacant rooms in our house.
I don’t know how ready the wooden beds are for Lao Zhou and the others. At worst, I can sleep on the big kang with Wei Yin.
Yu Shanhai looked at it and realized that he was not the kind of person who would care about that.
Yu Shanhai hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I will shamelessly bother the county lady."
Gu Lili nodded and called Li Tiansheng, who was busy outside, in.
"Uncle, I wonder how many beds Lao Zhou and his family have made?"
When Li Tiansheng had nothing to do, he would patrol around the yard, so he knew more about it.
Li Tiansheng had just returned from Lao Zhou's place, and there were still some sawdust on his gown.
"I've played three!"
Gu Lili nodded. That was perfect. Wei Yin and Yu Shanhai, two strangers, wouldn’t have to squeeze in the same room.
In this way, both of them will definitely not be able to adapt and will not be able to rest well.
"Then arrange for Elder Yu to rest in an unused room."
With her three disciples around, there was no need for Gu Lili to carry the wooden bed herself.
Li Tiansheng nodded, picked up a set of bedding, and took Yu Shanhai to the yard next door.
Gu Lili was just about to look for Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin, mother and son, when she heard the laughter of Old Lady Li and Liu Ying coming from the kitchen.
I don't know what the two of them talked about, but their laughter scared the chickens in the chicken coop and made them cluck.
Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh. She was just wondering where Old Mrs. Li had gone.
She had been thinking that after she was done with her work, she would help introduce Old Mrs. Li to Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li had a very pleasant conversation with Liu Ying.
Gu Lili had originally been worried that Old Madam Li was restrained, nervous and inferior, but now it seemed that her worries were completely unnecessary.
Following the sound of laughter, Gu Lili came to the kitchen.
"Grandma, Madam Liu, what are you two talking about? Why are you so happy?"
When Gu Lili entered, she saw Liu Ying holding Old Mrs. Li and laughing so hard that they were bent over.
Seeing Gu Lili come in, the two of them couldn't stop smiling.
Although Gu Lili didn't know why the two were laughing, she couldn't help but laugh along with them.
After the two of them had laughed enough, Liu Ying explained, "I told my elder sister about Liu Yuanliang's incident. When my servant took him out to 'play', I don't know who started it first, but he was cheated on."
Speaking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help laughing again.
"You know what? Lili, those are genuine cuckolds, more than ten of them, and they are all the same. It seems I don't have to worry about Liu Yuanliang's cuckolds for the rest of his life."
When Gu Lili heard it, she realized that this was the matter.
No wonder Liu Ying is so happy.
She was in a very good mood after hearing this, and believed that evildoers should be punished.
We can't think of him as pitiful just because he is disabled and old.
Liu Yuanliang deserves what he has today.
Gu Lili chuckled and said, "That's definitely worth a laugh!"
After Mrs. Li finished taking care of Lili, she stood up and thought she was going to talk to Liu Ying about serious business.
"Lili, Liu's sister, you two can chat first. I'll go clean up outside."
Gu Lili quickly pulled Old Lady Li to a stop and said with a smile, "There's no rush for Madam Liu and I. We can talk about it slowly tomorrow."
Liu Ying also nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, elder sister, Miaoyin and I plan to stay in Donghai Town for a few more days before leaving. We have plenty of time to talk. Come and tell me about what you just said, about the assassins coming to our house."
Seeing this, Gu Lili said, okay.
Obviously, I am the redundant one now, and she is the one who should leave.
"Okay, then you guys chat first, I'll go find Miaoyin."
Judging from the situation of the two of them, it would probably take several days and nights for them to finish talking.
They both nodded at the same time. Gu Lili smiled, curled her lips, and walked out.
After asking Gu Huanhuan, Liu Miaoyin and Gu Chenxi about the direction they left, Gu Lili walked towards the beach.
Just as she was about to go out, Gu Lili thought of something and quickly turned back and walked towards the next yard.
When Xiao Mulian first arrived in Donghai Town, Gu Lili said that she would take her for a walk on the beach. Today was a good opportunity to go and take a look.
Taking Xiao Mulian with her, Gu Lili also brought Gu Huanhuan along, and the three of them walked towards the beach, talking and laughing as they carried the wooden bucket.
If I'm lucky today, maybe I can pick up some fresh seafood.
It’s a good opportunity for Liu Ying and Liu Miaoyin to have a try.
When they walked to the beach, Gu Lili discovered that there were many more people there than before.
Gu Lili asked Gu Chenxi to teach the villagers how to eat seafood, so when there was nothing to do at home, some children and adults would go to the beach.
Not only can they satisfy their hunger, but they can also sell the surplus to Gu Lili's family to supplement the family income.
The three of them arrived at the beach and soon found Gu Chenxi and Liu Miaoyin.
The reason is simple. Most of the people in the village wear coarse linen clothes without any color.
Liu Miaoyin was wearing a pink dress today, so it was easy to spot them.
