The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

After placing the soaps on the table, Jiang Shian took a few discarded wooden boards from the shop next door, picked up a brush and began to write slogans on them.

"What new things has Shopkeeper Jiang developed?" Zhang Songbai followed behind him and asked curiously while looking at the bamboo box on the table.

Jiang Shian wrote on the wooden board while answering: "I make my own soap. It can be used to wash clothes, hands and face. It has a good cleaning effect and will not hurt your hands."

Zhang Songbai was surprised to hear that there really was something more useful than soap powder, and he lowered his head to look at the wooden board.

The wooden board was uneven and the writing was a little crooked, but it was still legible.

——Soap, for washing clothes, hands and face, removing dirt and oil stains, and cleaning clothes.

In one sentence, it clearly states what is being sold and its effects.

Zhang Songbai nodded secretly. This young man is really smart. He can even come up with this idea to put up advertisements at the door.

He was in the silk business, and had no business conflict with Jiang Shian. Besides, Jiang Shian's shop had been busy these days, and his clothing shop had also benefited from it. The servant could just stand at the door to solicit customers.

Because of this relationship, he and Jiang Shian have a better relationship than other shop owners around them.

Jiang Shian opened the lid of the bamboo box, and Zhang Songbai took a closer look. He saw a white substance half the size of his palm inside the bamboo box. "If it's really as good as you said, you have to give me a box first."

"Okay!" Jiang Shian nodded with a smile, picked up a box and handed it to Zhang Songbai, "Then I'll trouble Shopkeeper Zhang to help me try it out and see how it works. There are two in this box. Just wet your hands. You can wash clothes by soaking them in soap and rubbing them."

Zhang Songbai nodded, and accepted it with a smile without being polite. In a couple of days, when new material arrives, he will leave one piece for the other party, so that it can be regarded as a give and take.

There weren't a lot of people in the town at this time. Most of them had gone to buy vegetables and eat at the snack stalls. They would start selling things when it got brighter and the sun rose.

He and Ji Yinghuai had discussed the price last night. Carpenter Yang usually sold the bamboo boxes for two cents each. The oil used was badger oil, which was not cheap, ten cents at a time. In addition, there was coarse salt and labor costs, which were more troublesome and time-consuming, so naturally it was more expensive than toothpaste and tooth powder.

Fifty cents a box, and there are two pieces in one box.

Zhang Songbai saw the people coming into the shop and went back to the shop. At this time, Ji Yinghuai also came back with the breakfast he bought.

The two of them went back to the shop first, and Ji Yinghuai bought four meat buns and a pancake.

Seeing that he didn't buy any for himself, Jiang Shian simply divided the pancake into two. The two of them ate two buns and half a pancake and they were full.

It's a small shop and there's no place to boil water, which is a bit inconvenient. When I buy a new shop, I can eat in town, so I don't have to buy lunch and go home to cook dinner.

The pancake is mixed with leeks and eggs. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and tastes pretty good.

After finishing breakfast and taking a short rest, the sky was already bright and a red sun could be seen in the sky.

More and more people were coming and going on the street, and the vendors' shouts became louder and louder.

Jiang Shian drank a sip of water from the bamboo pot, cleared his throat, and stood outside the shop door and shouted: "The shop has new things, soap, which can be used for washing clothes, hands and face. The foam is rich and dense, and it washes things very cleanly and there is no odor. Don't miss it if you pass by, come and have a look!"

The shop has been open in this town for more than a month, and the people around him are familiar with it. The toothbrushes and tooth powder he sold before were very popular with many people, and they all said that the effects were good. When they heard the sound, everyone turned their eyes over.

"Oh, it looks like the shopkeeper from the toothbrush shop. Has he created something new?"

"I haven't heard of soap before. It's a bit like soap powder, both are used to wash clothes, but soap powder doesn't produce enough foam and sometimes it doesn't wash clothes clean enough."

"Go and take a look. If it's useful, you can buy some."

Jiang Shian picked up a box of soap and walked towards the crowd while saying, "It can clean all the dirt, whether it's oil stains or sweat stains. I also brought a basin and clothes today. If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself how effective it is."

Hearing this, everyone walked towards his shop.

Jiang Shian put the soap in the palm of his hand, which he had just soaked in water. When he rubbed his hands together, white foam appeared in his palm.

Everyone looked carefully and saw that there was no bubble just now, but it suddenly appeared.

"It looks like there are a lot of foam, but I don't know if it can clean well. Brother, why don't you show us how to use it? If it works, we'll buy it."

"Sure, auntie, everyone follow me over here."

The yellow dirt marks on the clothes brought in the morning were very obvious. Jiang Shian put soap on them and rubbed them twice, then began to rub them with his hands. White foam covered them, and then he washed off the foam and picked up the clothes to show everyone the stained places.

"Look, aunties, it's clean."

The people around nodded. Even if they put a lot of soap powder, there wouldn't be this much foam.

But some people also retorted: "This mud can be washed clean with water on weekdays, yours is nothing at all."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged aunt holding a baby. Jiang Shian looked at her and thought that she was probably a nanny from a wealthy family. The baby in her arms was about two or three years old. She was wearing exquisite clothes and holding a candied haws in one hand, with a few drops of sugar dripping onto her chest.

Children of this age are the most naughty. He has a cloth bag on his chest, which is stained with a lot of stains.

Jiang Shian walked towards them and said with a smile: "I see that the baby's saliva bag is quite dirty. If you don't believe me, can you take off the cloth bag and scrub it with soap to see how much can be washed away?"

"Hey, this is good." When everyone heard it, they all agreed. If so much dirt can be washed clean, it will show that the effect is good.

The old woman really put the doll on the ground, then reached out to take the cloth bag around him and handed it to Jiang Shian.

The most common work these women do is washing clothes. The best thing to use for washing clothes is soap powder. The only other things they can use are wild pearls or soap beans picked and sold in the countryside. They have a smell and can't wash clothes very cleanly. If this thing is really useful, they can tell the housekeeper when they go back, and they can save a lot of effort in the future.

Everyone immediately surrounded Jiang Shian, and the old woman quickly picked up the little master on the ground and squeezed to the front of the crowd.

While washing, Jiang Shian said to everyone: "Aunties, if you buy it, you don't need to use the mallet to wash clothes. Just rub it twice on the dirty parts and rub it with your hands for a while like I do."

After rubbing for a while, the water in the basin changed color. He rinsed off the foam and then held the bag in front of everyone. "Look, everyone, there are fewer stains on it. As for the remaining stains, I guess it's been a long time since I used it, so it can't be completely washed off this time. This is just on, whether it's oil stains or sugar stains, it can be cleaned."

When it was just picked, there were large stains that everyone could see clearly. Now there must be some faint marks left. After drying, they will probably not be very visible.

“The effect is good.”

"I think it was the big one from before, and it was cleaned in just a moment."

"It's more convenient than pounding with a hammer for a long time as usual."

Despite the noise all around, Jiang Shian always had a faint smile on his face.

After the discussion was almost over, he asked about the price.

"Hey, little guy, how much do you sell this for?" The effect is so good, it must be very expensive.

Jiang Shian picked up the box on the table. "It's not expensive. One box costs fifty cents. There are two soaps in it that can be used for a long time. The soap shells are all handmade, and salt is added to them, so the cleaning effect is so good."

Jiang Shian didn't care whether people believed it or not. After all, he made the soap, and no one else knew how it was made. The price of salt was not cheap. If he told people about it, they wouldn't think it was too expensive.

"We still need salt..." The people around couldn't help but be amazed. Some people can't even afford salt, yet they actually use it to wash clothes.

Among them were some who were well-dressed and had plenty of money at home, and they immediately ordered a few boxes.

A pretty woman put her nose close to the tip of the tea and sniffed it, then asked him, "It doesn't smell strange, but can you make something with a fragrance?"

Jiang Shian gave her an apologetic smile, "I haven't figured it out yet, maybe I'll have it in the future. Miss, if you need it, please leave your address and I'll send it to your house when the time comes."

"Okay, the things you sell are rare. I live on the far West Right Street. Turn into the second street and you'll find the Chen Mansion."

Jiang Shian nodded and took four boxes for her. The maid following behind her took out copper coins and paid for them.

Look, four boxes were gone in a flash, and the people around immediately started asking for some too.
