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

After all this busy work, the sun was almost at its highest point in the sky. Both of them were sweating from exhaustion. Seeing that no one was coming for the time being, they quickly sat on a stool to rest.

Ji Yinghuai had been counting copper coins for the whole morning and his lips were now dry and chapped. There were so many people around and they were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

Jiang Shian watched Ji Yinghuai stand up and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. I'll go out and buy some food. Your lips are all chapped. I saw some herbal tea for sale in the restaurant before, so I bought some more. We still have to boil some water to bring back next time."

"Let me go. You've been talking all the time." Looking at Jiang Shian's sweaty hair, Ji Yinghuai was about to get up from the stool.

In terms of tiredness, they were both equally tired. He didn't like to talk, except for counting money for everyone. Jiang Shian talked more. There were always people coming to the shop, but not everyone knew the effect of soap, so Jiang Shian had to repeat it over and over again.

Fortunately, the boy had a clear voice and spoke slowly and calmly, otherwise listening to him all morning would have been a real torture to my ears.

Jiang Shian had already walked to the door. Without even turning his head, he waved at Ji Yinghuai, leaving only his thin back.

"Just take a rest!"

-

In the next few days, there was a line in front of the shop every morning to buy soap. They were busy all morning and had to go home in the afternoon to continue making soap.

Fortunately, they found a group of children in the village to help, otherwise the two of them would be too busy to handle it.

In a blink of an eye, the day for delivery of toothbrushes and toothpowder arrived, and businessman Liu's 500 boxes of toothpaste and toothpowder with engraved patterns had been produced.

The clerk in charge of Merchant Liu came directly to their home with the token to pick up the goods.

After counting and checking thoroughly, Jiang Shian originally wanted to keep everyone at his home for dinner, but the delivery men said that they had to deliver the goods quickly and the young master was waiting to receive them, so they did not keep them any longer and left after some polite words.

As he earned one penny a day and could also afford a meal, more and more people in the village wanted to come and help, and even some adults who had finished their farm work at home said they would like to come and work.

With the children and the two of them, they were fully capable of handling the matter. Besides, he didn't want too many people to know how to make the soap. He added the alkaline water or salt himself, and put it in a bamboo box to solidify it when only he and Ji Yinghuai were together.

Some people became dissatisfied after being rejected, thinking that as adults they could not do enough work and yet were paid less than the children, so they began to say that Jiang Shian and others were deliberately exploiting the children in the village.

It is said that in the past, people could be given food when they worked, but now they are not allowed to rest when they are busy, and they are not given water when they are thirsty, and the only food they eat is some clear soup.

Some parents don't really believe it. When the children come home at night and ask about the situation, it's really not true. Look, the face has become a little rounder in the past few days. It's not that they don't eat well.

When asked if they were not allowed to rest, the children all shook their heads and retorted, "No, Brother Shi'an is a very nice person. In the afternoon when the sun was at its hottest, Brother Shi'an would let us all sit under a tree and he would tell us stories."

The villagers whose children worked for Jiang Shi'an thought that he was jealous that their children could help, while their own lazy children could not do so, so they wanted them to call their children back so that they could send their own children over.

He is doing bad things on purpose.

Therefore, the few people who started gossiping were scolded a lot, and the children who had benefited from it and eaten good food in the past few days also felt disgusted and decided not to play with the other party's children.

The soap business was going on in full swing, and there were people in town who wanted to make and sell the same soap as last time.

But after they bought it back, no matter how much they studied, they couldn't make it. Either it wouldn't solidify, or they couldn't make it with the same materials.

Many people came to ask about his cooking method, and Jiang Shian just responded with a smile at first, because his eating skill should not be passed on to others.

In the end, there were so many questions that he was too lazy to respond and just laughed it off.

With this good thing, he naturally did not forget Liu Shangren, his big customer.

When the people from Liu the merchant came to get the goods again, he asked them to take a few boxes back, explained the purpose and usage of the boxes, and asked them to give them to Liu the merchant to try again. If they thought they could be sold, they could come back to him to get the goods.

This time, his is the only shop selling it anywhere else, and no one else can make the recipe.

The delivery people worked very hard, so Jiang Shian gave each person a few boxes, asking them to take them back to their wives to use, and if they found the results good, they could help him promote the product.

In the evening, he invited everyone to have dinner at his home.

With a man like Ji Yinghuai around, he, a young man, didn't need to avoid suspicion and sat down at the table with everyone else. There was also a small table next to them.

The food was the same as the one on their table, except that the portions were smaller. There were four or five children sitting at the table, eating and nodding their heads, exclaiming how delicious it was.

It was not until the third day that someone came from Liu the merchant's side. Jiang Shian thought that the other party would send someone over, but unexpectedly, it was Liu the merchant who came himself.

The toothbrush and tooth powder had already caused the other party to suffer a wave of violence, and this time Jiang Shian was not polite to him, "Two hundred coins a box."

Liu Chengqi raised his eyebrows, neither agreeing nor refusing, looking at Jiang Shian and asking with a smile: "Brother, aren't you too mean? You sell this for fifty in town, but you're selling it to me for two hundred, which is three times as much."

Jiang Shian had a smile on his face and personally poured a cup of tea for Liu Chengqi.

Ji Yinghuai sat at the table and watched the two people talking to each other, as well as the young man's smiling face. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

Jiang Shian said calmly, "What Manager Liu said is true. You took the toothbrush and tooth powder to Beijing last time and sold them. I guess you made a lot of money. The price I gave you is only 15 wen. You will definitely not sell a box for less than 200 wen."

Seeing Liu Chengqi pause in waving his folding fan, Jiang Shian smiled knowingly and continued, "No one has thought of toothbrushes and tooth powder. If they sell well, everyone can find a carpenter or doctor to make them. But this soap is different. I dare say no one can make it except me. You must have tried it last time I asked you to bring it to me. As for the effect, the fact that you came here in person this time has already proved it."

Liu Chengqi looked at the young man who was talking beside him, his eyes full of admiration. He was different from the guys in the countryside or Beijing who were full of restraints due to rules or status.

The other party does not deliberately avoid suspicion, but also does not appear to be overly close. He does not seem to be timid or petty in his words and deeds, and is open and frank, showing freedom and unrestrainedness.

I have to say that apart from his looks, this young man is still so dazzling that people can't take their eyes off him.

As he was looking around, he heard a heavy cough from the side. The implicit warning in the cough made him feel nervous.

The coldness from the man seemed to be radiating to him, and he wished he could be frozen to the spot in the next moment.

Liu Chengqi thought he was a very sensible person, so he quickly looked away. He didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person in this small place.

He could tell that the man knew Kung Fu. He was unfamiliar with the place, and with only a few thugs, he had no chance of winning. If he was assassinated and buried in this place, those useless people in his family probably wouldn't think of avenging him, so it would be better for him to avoid provoking them.

"Okay, then we'll go with the price you said. Your soap is really useful, and I'm sure I'll need more than a toothbrush and toothpowder. Can you handle it? How long will it take for you to deliver the goods to me?" Liu Chengqi put away his folding fan, supported his chin with one hand, and tapped the table with the fan.

Jiang Shian pondered for a while. The soap-making process was not labor-intensive, but time-consuming. It would take at least two days to dry the soap.

"How much do you need?" he asked.

Liu Chengqi held out five fingers.

"Five thousand?"

Liu Chengqi smiled and said, "Fifty thousand boxes!"

Jiang Shian swallowed, he didn't expect that so much would be needed at one time. He looked at Ji Yinghuai and thought that even if the children in the village helped to pick up shells and burn wood ashes, it would take at least a month to make the whole thing.

But this business is indeed very profitable, and he does not plan to tell anyone else about the production process. It seems he can only find a few trustworthy people to share one or two steps.

"Okay, I'll do it first. It will take a long time to deliver all at once, so I'll make 5,000 boxes first."

"Row."

The two men agreed on this temporarily. Since there was more money this time, Liu Chengqi paid him half of the deposit. After he delivered 5,000 boxes, he would pay the rest. He would continue to supply the rest of the goods.
