There were only about eighty blocks of soap made, which were packed into about forty boxes and brought to the town.

Business was much better than he expected, and all the items were sold out in less than one morning. There were still many people standing outside who hadn't bought anything, and they kept asking him what was in stock.

"I will start making it after I get home. It will probably take four or five days. After it solidifies after drying in the sun, there will be a sign at the door saying it is in stock, and everyone can come and buy it."

"Okay, little brother, you have to leave one for your aunt when the time comes." A fat aunt was holding an embroidered white handkerchief in her hand. The handkerchief was still wet after being washed with soap. Seeing that most of the stains on it had been washed away, she spoke with a smile.

Jiang Shian nodded. Some of his family had almost used up their tooth powder and needed to buy some more, so he went into the shop. Ji Yinghuai greeted them at the door.

The water in the wooden basin on the table was already very turbid. He had not washed the clothes he brought with him, but the people around him took off their handkerchiefs or headscarves to see if the soap worked.

Fortunately, it did not disappoint everyone. It was a bit expensive, but the effect was immediate.

After a busy morning, Jiang Shian pounded his aching shoulders and leaned against the door to rest for a while.

A glass of water was handed to him. He knew who it belonged to without thinking. A smile broke out on his face and he turned his head to meet the man's caring gaze.

"You must be thirsty. Drink some water to moisten your throat first."

"Okay." Jiang Shian took it and took a big sip immediately.

Ji Yinghuai had just been helping to collect copper coins, but he didn't expect that these forty boxes of soap could be sold for more than two taels of silver.

The tooth powder and toothbrush are also effective, and he thinks the prices set by the two are too low.

As soon as the crowd left, the owners of several other shops nearby also came over to inquire about the news. They had seen people coming and going this morning, and it would be a lie to say they were not jealous.

The shopkeeper looked young and no one knew where he came from, but he managed to come up with some strange and bizarre things. Many people bought them, and they could not be found anywhere else.

If they put their products in the shop before the other party makes them, they won't have to worry about not making money.

Jiang Shian naturally knew what they were planning. It was just that no one had thought of making the toothpaste and tooth powder before, but everyone could figure it out after it was made and sold.

But this soap is different. In ancient times, there was no such thing as alkali saponification reaction.

This business cannot be leaked to anyone, otherwise he might be relying on soap to make a fortune in the future.

"Shopkeeper Jiang, you've sold out this soap." A middle-aged shopkeeper came over, smiling but not in his eyes. He looked calculating, and it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Jiang Shian recognized him. He was the owner of a grocery store across the street. He had bought things from the store before.

He nodded, "Yes, I don't make much at home, so I brought these."

Seeing that the table was indeed empty, the man withdrew his gaze and continued to ask questions with a smile: "You young people are really amazing. Look, I've never heard of this thing. I wonder what it's made of?"

"Well..." Jiang Shian paused deliberately, and waved his hand under the expectant eyes of the man opposite him, "Of course I can't tell anyone else about this. I'm relying on this cooking skill to make a living in the future!"

The man was a little dissatisfied when he heard such an answer. He still said with a smile, "We are all neighbors. There is nothing we can't talk about. Can I steal your business? I also think it's hard for my wife to wash clothes, so I want to do some for my family."

Without waiting for Jiang Shian to answer, Ji Yinghuai came out after greeting the last customer, stood next to him, and said in a cold voice: "We will sell it again in a few days. If the shopkeeper is really interested, just come and buy it. We will keep two boxes for you."

He was not as talkative as Jiang Shian, and without waiting for the man to refute, he continued, "Your grocery store sells a lot of things, so you are not short of one or two things. Last time I went to your store, I saw the same tooth powder and toothbrushes as ours. You really have a lot of people."

They had only been selling for four or five days when the other shop started to follow suit, even using the same boxes. Not only that, they also had shop assistants waiting at the door and shouting every day. Many people knew about this.

Hearing Ji Yinghuai talking about this, the people around who were originally watching the show couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although the things sold in the same shop are basically the same, this person figured it out on his own and has been selling it for just a few days and you're thinking of the same thing. It's true that he makes money, but this behavior is a little unpleasant.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the man's face turned from blue to black.

Looking up, he saw Ji Yinghuai, who was half a head taller than him and looked thin, but his aura and those cold eyes made people feel chilly.

He didn't dare to say more. He could only save face and snorted, "It's just a piece of laundry detergent. Who can't make it? What a joke." The man said this harshly and turned away.

Jiang Shian laughed darkly in the back. He didn't expect that Ji Yinghuai was also good at arguing with people. Look at his eloquence.

Patting Ji Yinghuai on the shoulder, he smiled and said, "Okay, why bother talking to him so much? It's getting late, let's buy the things and go home to count the money!"

I haven't counted the money I earned these days. Seeing that the money box is almost full again, I went back to think about what should be exchanged for silver.

When talking to him, Ji Yinghuai's coldness subsided a lot. He raised his hand to rub the boy's head and said helplessly: "You just have too good a temper. How can you let others steal the things you have worked so hard to grind out so easily?"

After collecting the things and closing the shop door, the two went to the butcher shop to buy a lot of pancreas. Unlike fat meat, it can be made into oil for cooking or eaten as dregs. Not many people eat pig pancreas. Only very poor families would buy it as meat, so the price is cheap and you can buy a pound of it for five cents.

They bought a lot, and the butcher gave them a few big bones before they left.

Business has to be done continuously, and no alternative fat has been found yet. Jiang Shian simply made an agreement with the other party that they should not throw away the pig pancreas and keep it for him.

The butcher happily agreed, saying that the two villages were not far from each other, and they always slaughtered the animals at home and then took them to the town to sell, and they would deliver them directly to his home in the future.

Then they went to buy some coarse salt, loaded everything into the carriage and returned home.
