Chapter 102 Lucky Numbers
"Look at these baskets of soap. They are no different from looking at piles of silver."
"We transported so much this time, it must be worth more than a hundred taels of silver."
"Ci Ge'er is really Jingsheng's lucky star. Not only has Jingsheng recovered, but he has also helped his family make a lot of money."
"I see there's still a lot of soap in there. If we sell all of it, we'll have more money than any of the officials in town."
Jiang Ci interrupted at the right time, saying that if they continued to say this, they would regard him as a high-ranking official in the capital.
"The money we get from selling these soaps in town is not enough to pay off the debts we owe. We can only pay the workers here and pay off the money we spent on building the soap factory."
They brought three cartloads of soap to the town's dock.
Their donkey cart was the first one to stop, and Jiang Ci saw Li Qing getting off the cargo ship.
Li Qing also saw them and walked over quickly.
"2 bars of soap, that's quite a lot."
"There are 2 pieces in total, which are packed into 30 bamboo baskets. There are pieces of soap in each basket, which is also a lucky number."
"These three 6s are a really good number."
A middle-aged man dressed as a manager came to Li Qing from the cargo ship with something in his hand.
Only then did she see clearly that what he was holding was a piece of paper, and Jiang Ci understood that it was a contract.
"Brother Jiang, take a look at this contract. The soap you want has not changed since last time. It has been confirmed by Hefeng Tower."
The contract was written very concisely, in just three lines. How much? When? Who wants it? Everything was clearly written.
Not like modern contracts, but they have their own pros and cons.
Jiang Ci signed her name, and then the others watched.
Jiang Ci and Li Qing went to the government office to register, and Lin Jingsheng also followed Jiang Ci.
It was difficult to count the soaps in the baskets, so the manager called the guys who were moving the things over there to come and load the soaps directly onto the cargo ship.
These items that are shipped to Hefeng Tower are distributed directly to Hefeng Tower in the county or provincial capital according to the number in the baskets. They are told the number of pieces and they will count the number when they deliver the goods.
If there is more or less, I will tell them the next time they deliver the goods. If there is one or two yuan more or less, it is within the normal error range and they will not make a fuss about it.
The soap was transported on the cargo ship. Li Qing took out four 100-tael silver notes from his purse and handed them to Jiang Ci.
"Payment upon delivery."
"It's comfortable to do business with Uncle Li."
Li Qing walked towards the cargo ship.
Lin Jingsheng came to Jiang Ci and said, "Let's go."
"Well, let's go."
It was the first time that Jiang Ci had seen so much money. Holding the thin banknote in her hand, she didn't feel very real.
Jiang Ci touched it again and again with his fingers before he was sure that he really had so much silver in his hand.
Lin Jingsheng naturally saw the silver in Jiang Ci's hand and said, "Go and exchange the banknotes for silver, so that we can pay back the money one by one."
He went to the money shop and exchanged the four hundred taels of silver into silver of different sizes.
I paid back part of the money I owed to the pork shop in town.
The owners of those pork shops received the high interest rates they were promised.
They had more money than usual, and when Jiang Ci told them that she would pay them back the remaining money in a few days, and they could also owe them a few more days in the meantime, they all readily agreed.
When I got home, I paid the workers their wages and also gave them money to buy bricks.
……
"Hmm~uh..."
Lin Jingsheng kissed Jiang Ci on the cheek.
Jiang Ci's eyes were dazed, and slowly focused.
Without taking any immediate action, after a few moments, he gathered his strength and kicked the man next to him who had a satisfied look on his face.
Lin Jingsheng didn't dodge, and Jiang Ci kicked Lin Jingsheng hard in the stomach.
However, Lin Jingsheng did not seem to expect Jiang Ci to use so much strength.
He was kicked to the edge of the bed, and fell off the bed.
Lin Jingsheng would always act innocent in front of Jiang Ci, rubbing the place where he was kicked, looking pitiful.
However, Jiang Ci did not go to see it. He knew that he could not resist Lin Jingsheng like that, so he simply did not go to see it.
I put on my clothes and shoes, "I'm all sticky, I'm going to go wash it."
Lin Jingsheng was stunned. Is this trick useless now?
He sat on the ground dejectedly for a long time before getting up.
Jiang Ci splashed the warm water on her body, and when her hand touched her belly, she rubbed it twice more.
It was flat, nothing. He thought of the time when Lin Jingsheng took his hand and touched his belly...
And tonight, Lin Jingsheng seemed to have endless energy and kept ramming into it with all his might.
He felt like he was about to be...
Lin Jingsheng himself couldn't explain why he was jealous of a little boy. Seeing Jiang Ci being soft-hearted towards that little boy, he felt depressed.
Seeing that Jiang Ci wanted to play with that boy, he wanted to hold Jiang Ci in his arms and not let him leave.
But Jiang Ci did not have this feeling when he was with his two good friends in the village and several young brothers from his uncle's family.
……
In just one day, the template required for Dongfeng Building was carved.
Jiang Ci transported these to the soap factory.
"Let's get these done today."
"So we won't make these replaced templates?"
"I'll hire some more people in a couple of days. Aren't there still half of the stoves that are burning lard and making wood ash that haven't been lit yet? I'll hire some more people to expand the scale."
"Our soap factory is really amazing. We are going to expand it again."
After making arrangements at the soap factory, the two of them returned home hand in hand.
"Expand the current scale of the soap factory first, and then go to the capital?"
Lin Jingsheng asked, turning his head to look at Jiang Ci who was swinging his hand.
"Well, it will only take three or four days. This time I want to expand it a little bit. I will light up all the stoves and hire six or seven more people.
I've asked someone to make the template these two days, and I've collected more firewood and wood ash in the village. Shells ordered a lot before, so there's no need to increase it. I've also got to go to the county again and buy fat meat from another pork shop."
Additional staff were added to other positions, except for the position responsible for the ratio of lard and lye water, which was still handled by the four of them.
……
In the morning, Lin Shan went to the town to deliver toothbrushes to Liangjia Shop, and Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng followed him.
When they reached the town they went to the place where they rented a carriage, and when they got to the street they saw their carriage had just arrived at the door.
Jiang Ci took out a cushion from the backpack and put it on the seat.
Lin Jingsheng sat in the driving seat of the carriage, and Jiang Ci sat next to him.
"Let's go."
Lin Jingsheng pulled the reins and the carriage started slowly. "Let's go. When it gets hot, you can sit inside."
"Got it. I won't let myself down."
The two of them were talking, and it wasn't boring.
Jiang Ci looked at the trees whizzing past on the roadside and realized how huge the difference was between a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-drawn or donkey-drawn carriage.
