Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

"The materials used to make the soap are all common things here. The most expensive ones are just a few Chinese herbs, which greatly reduces the cost."

Jiang Nianwei had long discovered that women living by the sea were exposed to the scorching sun for a long time and had darker skin, so there should be a market for this kind of soap with whitening effect.

She distributed the remaining pieces to the others and said, "During this period of time, you can try the whitening effect of this soap."

Taozhi took the soap happily, and then couldn't help stroking her face which was slightly darker due to the sea breeze, "Thank you, girl! I do feel that I have become a lot darker these days."

Seeing that her daughter was absorbed in making new things all day, Jing Qiudie pulled her aside and said softly:

"I see you ordering Ah Zhao around all day. Although you two have verbally agreed to be married, you haven't yet issued a formal wedding invitation. After calculating your birth dates, you still need to find an auspicious date to hold the wedding as soon as possible."

Jiang Nianwei touched her nose awkwardly, "Mom, why are you so anxious? Ah Zhao is not anxious at all."

"I am worried that there are a lot of gossips in this countryside, and those gossipers will affect you. You are usually simple-minded and have never paid attention to it, but I can hear all the gossips behind your back. Although we don't care about other people's opinions, we still need to be polite. It would be better if you two get married soon so that those gossips will be dispelled."

She felt a little helpless in her heart, and only her mother would think that she was simple-minded. "I have been very busy recently and have not been able to take care of it. After I am done with this period of work, I will discuss this matter with Ah Zhao."

Jing Qiudie's tone was more helpless, and she consoled him: "You, haven't you seen Ah Zhao's residence? Whenever it rains, the water will flood Jinshan. On weekdays, if you hadn't invited him to dinner frequently, he probably wouldn't even have a sip of hot water. Moreover, he comes to our house to work all day long. He built the pig sty and cowshed. Taking him as a son-in-law earlier would not only give him a place to live, but also save him from many inconveniences."

"Besides, I have already prepared some of the items needed for the wedding. When you go to Yazhou again, remember to buy some more so that everything will be complete. I have already written the list for you."

Jiang Nianwei was speechless and could only nod silently, "I understand. I'll discuss it with him."

She hadn't paid attention to A Zhao's every move recently.

When she happened to catch a glimpse of Ah Zhao standing alone in a corner, quietly watching the people laughing and playing in the yard, the loneliness of being unable to fit in aroused some pity in her heart.

When Ah Zhao went back, she followed him quietly, observing his every move.

Jiang Nianwei saw him go to chop wood first, and only returned to the shabby house when he was sweating profusely.

When he returned to the shabby little house, he took off his shirt, revealing his muscular body.

Jiang Nianwei's heartbeat quickened a bit at that moment, and her eyes dodged unconsciously, but she still inevitably caught a glimpse of his thin muscles with clear contours.

Ah Zhao scooped a ladle of cold water from the water tank and poured it on his body, and the water droplets slid down his solid abdominal muscles.

Jiang Nianwei could only divert her attention and look inside the house through the window.

The walls were bare and extremely simple, without even a bed to sleep on.

After taking a quick shower, Ah Zhao quietly spread out a bamboo mat on the ground and lay down on it without even a quilt.

Jiang Nianwei hesitated for a long time, and then she heard Ah Zhao's low voice: "Have you seen enough?"

Since she was discovered, she could only take a deep breath and pretend nothing happened and walked in, "I didn't see anything."

Her explanation was more like a cover-up.

Ah Zhao turned his head and saw who it was. He chuckled and said, "It turned out to be Sanniang. I thought it was some uninvited guest."

"Ahem, of course it's me. Ah Zhao, you work at my house every day, but you don't clean up your own house?"

Ah Zhao sat up and looked directly into Sanniang's eyes, feeling quite helpless: "Isn't this place clean enough? Is there anything else that needs to be cleaned up?"

Looking around, the house was bare and there was really nothing that needed to be cleaned up.

Ah Zhao was acting a little strange at this moment. His originally relaxed brows were now tightly furrowed. He turned his head away and said, "If there is nothing else, Sanniang, you can leave first."

The more Jiang Nianwei was asked to leave, the more she felt there was something fishy going on. Seeing his clenched fists, she guessed that this guy's old illness had relapsed.

She approached quietly and soothed his tense heartstrings, "Don't force it. I treated your original injuries. I naturally understand your physical condition. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Is it a headache?"

Seeing that Ah Zhao's expression had relaxed slightly, she slowly extended her hand towards Ah Zhao's head and continued, "To thank you for your help these days, I will give you a massage, which may help you relieve the pain."

"That doesn't make sense."

"We're almost a family, what other reasons are there for it to be inappropriate?"

Jiang Nianwei gently pressed several acupoints on his head, and the pain that was bothering him seemed to gradually dissipate under the gentle pressure of her fingertips.

In fact, it was her first time trying it. She had seen in medical books that massaging a few acupoints could help treat pain.

"If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the future, you don't have to endure the discomfort, and you don't have to be so stubborn. You still have to show weakness when you need to."

The two were so close that A Zhao seemed to be able to smell the fragrance emanating from her.

As his heartbeat quickened, he nodded slightly, and then he explained, "Without my memory, my mind is always blank, and sometimes I feel very confused."

"I will help you regain your missing memories."

Jiang Nianwei took out the food from the basket. Chicken oil was added to the rice, which gave off a light fragrance.

The poached chicken was cut into even-sized pieces and neatly placed on a plate. In the small bowl next to it was a carefully prepared dipping sauce made from soy sauce, bell pepper and sesame oil.

"I noticed that you didn't eat anything at night and only drank a few sips of water. From now on, I will supervise your meals at my house to ensure that you don't ruin your body."

Ah Zhao picked up the bowl of rice and felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Jiang Nianwei raised the corners of her lips slightly and asked tentatively: "A Zhao, when do you think it would be best for us to get married?"

Ah Zhao coughed a few times, looking a little embarrassed. "Any time is fine. It's up to you to decide."

"The sixth day of next month is a good day, so let's choose that day!"

He answered without hesitation: "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud thunder outside the window, followed by heavy rain. The tiles on the roof whined under the rain.

After a while, water drops began to seep into the house, wetting the already simple residence.

Her mother was right. The place where Ah Zhao stayed was simply not a place for human beings to live. No one knew how he could endure it.

"Looking at the rain, it won't stop anytime soon." Jiang Nianwei sighed softly and looked at Ah Zhao, "I'll take shelter here for a while and leave when the rain subsides a bit."

Thinking of Ah Zhao being troubled by headaches all day, Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but ask with concern: "Besides headaches, do you often have trouble falling asleep?"

Ah Zhao answered honestly: "Yeah, I can't sleep at night. Even if I sleep for a short while, I will be awakened by nightmares."

"What do you do when you can't sleep?"

Ah Zhao gently raised the long sword beside him, "The martial arts moves are the clearest memories in my mind."

This would not work in the long run. She pondered for a moment and came up with another idea. "Perhaps your head hit a reef and there is still blood clots. Although I am not a professional doctor, I have read some medical books and have some knowledge of acupuncture. If you don't mind, I would like to try this method to treat you. It may be able to provide some relief. Maybe, there is a chance to cure your amnesia."

Ah Zhao nodded, "Of course I'm willing to give it a try."

She only had a basic understanding of acupuncture, but medical books described the distribution of meridians and the application of acupuncture, so she wanted to try it on Ah Zhao.

Seeing him nod in agreement, Jiang Nianwei was delighted and could not wait to announce: "Tomorrow, I will set off for Yazhou City to buy acupuncture equipment!"

Ah Zhao smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and jokingly said, "How come my body has become your first target for training?"

She touched her nose awkwardly, "That's not the case."

The first experimental subject should be her modern Chinese medicine master, who taught her the most basic acupuncture methods when she first started.

Unexpectedly, after giving the master acupuncture, she inserted the needle in the wrong place, causing the master to suffer pain for seven days before recovering.

But things are different now. Her memory has improved and she will never make that mistake again.

"Since you trust me, I will definitely not let you down!"

Only after the rain subsided did Jiang Nianwei carry the basket and leave.

Ah Zhao lay on the broken mat, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave. Her company was the best medicine to heal his injuries.

The next morning, sunlight shone into the house through the window lattice, and Jiang Nianwei arrived here early.

Worried that he hadn't had breakfast, she brought some steaming hot omelets and made sure he finished eating them. Then she smiled and said, "We have to deliver a batch of glass cups to the city today, so you can come with me."

Ah Zhao saw that she had put a few bars of soap in her basket, "Are you going to set up a stall to sell soap today?"

"I added soap nuts and tea petals to these soaps, which can be used to wash clothes. I distributed a few pieces to the villagers yesterday, and they all thought they were useful. So I plan to try to sell them at the market today."

Ordinary people mostly use wood ash and soapberries to wash clothes, which cannot wash clothes clean and can easily damage clothes. However, washing clothes with soap is much easier.

When the two were about to board the boat, they saw the younger sister running over in a hurry. She said breathlessly, "Sister, take me with you too. I want to see the city, too."

"Okay, but don't be shy and help me!"

Jiang Siyu straightened her back and said, "Sister, you underestimate me. I can definitely do it."

After delivering the goods, Jiang Nianwei took out the wooden basin that had been prepared long ago and placed it in front of the stall.

She cleared her throat and began to shout: "Everyone passing by, come and take a look at this laundry soap, it will definitely open your eyes."

There were enough people gathered around, so Jiang Nianwei took out a piece of oil-stained clothing.

"Normally, people use soap nuts or wood ash to wash clothes, but it is difficult to clean the grease and the clothes are easily damaged. In this way, you have to spend money to buy new clothes, which is not worth it. But my soap can easily wash away the grease."

Jiang Nianwei then invited a bystander from the crowd to come up and try it, but it turned out to be Jiang Siyu in disguise.

Jiang Siyu took the clothes and began to scrub them carefully with soap nuts, but the grease on the clothes still stubbornly remained on them. "It really can't be washed clean."

Jiang Nianwei took out the soap again, "But if you use this soap, the situation will be very different. You might as well try it."

Jiang Siyu took the soap and started scrubbing again. This time, the clothes were washed thoroughly. The clothes also exuded a light and elegant fragrance that was refreshing.

The people around were amazed, "It really washed away, how could it be so magical?"

"Such a good thing must be very expensive, right?" someone couldn't help but ask curiously.

"These are things that ordinary people can afford. They are very affordable, only three cents a piece. If you buy one now, you will get a bamboo box for easy storage. One piece can wash a lot of clothes!"

Jiang Siyu seized the opportunity and agreed loudly: "Three cents is really not expensive. I'll buy one and try it!"

Someone took the lead, and passers-by came forward one by one, with discussions and inquiries coming one after another.

After a while, most of the goods on the stall were sold out one after another, until only the last piece was left.

At this moment, another woman hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and said, "Please leave this last piece for me, old slave!"

"Auntie, I'll sell it to you! Take it!"

Please grab the last piece, the aunt was immediately overjoyed.

She was the nanny in the home of Governor Wu in Yazhou City. She happened to pass by here and was attracted by the lively scene before her.

Normally, the prefect's family used bath beans, which were expensive and had to be used sparingly.

Seeing that this soap was affordable and had magical effects, I was tempted and decided to buy a piece to give it a try.

Jiang Nianwei took out the whitening soap from the basket and said, "You are the last customer, so this whitening soap is for you!"

Hearing the name, the woman couldn't help but become curious, "What is whitening soap?"

Jiang Nianwei patiently explained: "This is my family's ancestral recipe, which contains a variety of Chinese herbs. If you use this to cleanse your face, over time, you will feel your skin gradually become fairer and brighter."

The nanny put it to her nose and sniffed it. As expected, she smelled a faint scent of Chinese medicine. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "I actually have such a good thing. Thank you very much, young lady."

When the bustling crowd gradually dispersed, the three of them sat in the quiet teahouse, and Jiang Siyu asked in confusion: "Sister, since this soap is so popular, it should be easy to sell. Why did you give the whitening soap to the old lady?"

Jiang Nianwei took a sip of herbal tea and said slowly, "Although the woman's clothes are not ostentatious, they are of good quality and exquisite embroidery. They are definitely not something that ordinary people can afford. She is probably a nanny working in a noble family. This whitening soap is too luxurious for ordinary people and they can't afford it. But for those who live in wealthy families, as long as the effect is obvious, what does a few taels of silver matter?"

The laundry soap was originally intended to be sold at a low profit but in large quantities, but the whitening soap was intended to be sold at a high-end price and supplied to noble people, so that the maximum profit could be obtained.

Jiang Siyu suddenly realized: "So that's it, sister, I really admire you for coming up with so many ideas!"

Ah Zhao chuckled. Sanniang always gave him unexpected surprises, but this feeling always seemed familiar.

The three of them had a casual lunch, and Jiang Nianwei planned to go to the pharmacy to buy a set of acupuncture equipment.

When she stepped into the alley where the pharmacy was located, she saw a long line of people gathered in front of the door.

She walked towards a woman waiting in the queue, bowed slightly, and asked softly, "Young lady, may I ask why there are so many people queuing in front of this pharmacy?"

Upon hearing this, the woman explained in a low voice: "Miss, you may not know that today a skilled doctor came to the pharmacy. He is said to be able to cure many difficult and complicated diseases."

She lowered her voice, leaned in closer and said, "She's particularly good at infertility."

The woman saw a handsome man following her and asked curiously, "Girl, are you two here because of infertility as well?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianwei's body involuntarily stiffened for a moment.
