"Mother and sister-in-law, it's okay. If you like this soap, you can get more."
Chen Yueshu smiled and called Leng Su and Leng Yan forward: "You may not believe this, but they are the ones who run the soap business. They brought a lot on the car back to Beijing, and they brought some here today as well. It is a token of their love."
"what?"
Yu Wan and her mother-in-law were both so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
Why were the soaps snatched up as soon as they were opened? Of course, it was because they all knew the value of the soaps.
I don't know when it started, but the ladies in the capital city all started to use soap to bathe and cleanse their faces. They said it was better than milk, bath beans, and scented soap, and had better beautifying and skin care effects. It was said to be miraculous and very expensive and hard to come by.
Therefore, many ladies tried to find ways to buy it, but they were always disappointed. Some people said that this soap came from the Western Regions, so it was extremely rare. Others said that it came from the South, and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, so the quantity was small and the price was high.
In short, there were many different opinions, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law never thought that it would be the two little girls in front of them.
"it is true."
Seeing that the two were skeptical, Chen Yueshu explained a lot more until she ordered someone to bring out the soap. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still in shock.
Later, when they were having dinner in the dining room, the two of them kept Leng Su and Leng Yan to confirm, and Leng Yan and the other person nodded calmly and said yes.
There is nothing to hide. Leng Yan and her friends came to Beijing to expand their business. Now that they know that soap is so popular in the Beijing circle, it is good news for them.
Leng Yan even planned that after she returned home in the evening, she would write a letter to her uncle, and then send a letter to discuss with Chen Manfu to ask the workshop to expedite the production of a batch of soaps and hire a caravan to transport them to the capital. She thought that it would surely be very popular.
After calming down, the family continued to eat while chatting and laughing. After the meal, Yu Wan took her daughter back to the room and talked some intimate words between mother and daughter.
Chen Zhengan and his son went back to the study to play chess, while Qin Yuan ordered people to fill the garden with tea, snacks, fruits, and food such as potato chips that Leng Yan and his friends had brought.
After that, she lay in the rocking chair, basking in the sun, while watching Chen Yuzhao, Leng Jiaren and his sister, as well as Leng Su and Leng Yan playing pot-tossing and flying kites.
Leng Yan was not keen on pitching pots and flying kites, but she could not resist Chen Yuzhao's enthusiasm. While playing with him, she was still thinking about business matters.
“The beautiful scenery and delicious food really gave me a chance to relax for half a day, it was very relaxing~”
Qin Yuan, who was sitting in the rocking chair next to her, ate delicious potato chips and squinted her eyes happily, but suddenly she sneezed, and then she inexplicably thought of her son whom she was about to forget.
"Xingshi, you can't blame me for being so comfortable. It's your fault that you can't come back from the academy."
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan crunched another piece of potato chips into his mouth.
Chen Xingshi is the eldest son and grandson of the Chen family. He just turned fifteen this year and has already been named a scholar. He is currently studying in an academy in the capital and can only return home once every ten days.
At this time, in the academy in the capital, Chen Xingshi was leaning at the desk copying books, and his cousin rushed in.
"Brother, what good things have I brought you?"
My cousin is only eight or nine years old, which is the age when he is very lively. He is chubby and cute, very likable, and quite talkative.
Seeing this, Chen Xingshi put down his pen, looked up at the oil paper bag in front of him, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"They say they're potato chips. My mom sent them to me. They're delicious. Come and try some, big cousin."
The tangy aroma of oil and the pungent smell of chili pepper were really appetizing. Chen Shixing pinched a piece and took a bite. It was crispy, fragrant and delicious, and really left a long-lasting aftertaste.
“Is it delicious?”
The cousin's eyes sparkled, and he continued to talk to himself: "My mother said that when she was visiting your house, she happened to meet your uncle-in-law who came to give her a festival gift.
Many people from the clan were there at the time. After my aunt-in-law opened the gift, my mother told me that there were a lot of good things inside, and many of them were taken away by people from the clan.
You know my mother's temper, and she couldn't be persuaded. When she was leaving, my aunt-in-law stuffed her with a lot of cakes, and these potato chips were one of them."
"My mother was delayed a few days ago due to something, so it was only delivered today, so I can share it with my eldest cousin."
After the cousin finished his rambling words, he handed the oil paper bag forward, being exceptionally obedient and sensible.
"I've already eaten. You can keep the rest and eat it slowly."
Chen Xingshi couldn't help but touch his head. Although his cousin's family was in financial difficulty, his mother loved her children very much. She would give her children first any good things, and even gave him a share. Although it was not expensive, it was a token of her love.
Therefore, he was willing to take better care of his cousin in the academy. Unlike his mother, who raised a beautiful girl, she only cared about him but did nothing. She would get tired of him after just three days at most. Chen Xingshi felt so amused and helpless just thinking about it.
"Ayawn."
Qin Yuan raised his hand and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowning. Why did he sneeze for no reason today?
