"Erniu, Sanniu, don't be discouraged. Mother has already guessed this outcome, so she asked you three brothers to go and talk. After all, we are just a small town, and the consumer group is not high. Few people can afford to buy soap, and only a handful of people can afford to use it."

"My goal is to spread the word of mouth and sell to the capital or even further away. I am still very satisfied with today's results. After all, we have earned two or three hundred taels of silver now. At this rate, we can build a big blue brick and tile house in less than a month or two.

Sanniu: "Mom, we don't need to build such a nice house. It will cost a lot of money. We can just add a few thatched houses on top of the current one. With the money saved, it will be easier for the eldest and second brothers to find wives."

Yun Tao laughed out loud: "Sanniu, you are a girl. If you see our current house, would you like to marry in? -"

I, I, I, Sanniu stammered and stopped talking.

"Then the house will be ready in one go, and it will be big, which will be convenient for you in the future. The house will not need to be repaired. Most importantly, we won't be afraid of freezing in winter. I have thought of all these, so you don't need to worry.

Erniu: "Mom, you can arrange these. We can't make soap yet. We still have more than 100 bars of soap at home. We haven't sold many bars of soap in the past few days."

"Keep making it. Making soap is troublesome and the process is complicated. In addition, it takes at least a month to make soap successfully, and it also depends on the weather. We can make more soap and put it there while the weather is good. As long as the soap is placed in a dry and ventilated place, it can be kept for a long time. So don't worry about not being able to sell it."

"Winter is not a good season for making soap. The production time will be longer then, so make more now and stock up."

A few days later, people from Zhenwei Restaurant came to find Yuntao.

"Village Chief, why are you here?"

"Yun Tao, someone is looking for you. I'll bring them to your house. They said they are from the Zhenwei Restaurant in town."

"Madam Yun, long time no see."

"Little Second Brother, it's you."

"Madam Yun, the shopkeeper asked me to come here this time because of the soap. The shopkeeper said that his wife likes the soap very much and gave it to other sisters. They all love the soap. He also gave some to the boss. The boss thinks the soap is good and wants to transport some to the county or prefecture to sell. He just wants to ask you how much stock you have now."

When Yuntao, Sanniu, Erniu and Daniu heard this, they couldn't stop laughing and were extremely excited.

"We do have it in stock, but the cost of soap is quite high. I believe you have used the soap I gave you. The quality is definitely better than other soaps, and it is more durable. We have two types of soaps. The unscented soap is 1 tael of silver per piece, and the scented soap I will give you at least 1800 wen per piece. Regardless of the quantity, this is the price I will give you at Zhenwei Restaurant."

When the second brother heard the price, he immediately became insecure, "Madam Yun, your price is too expensive."

"Brother Xiaoer, I know the price I offer is not cheap, but my cost is also high. The materials used in this soap are also very expensive. Moreover, the process is complicated and the production time is long. The scent of our soap is extremely pleasant, which is very different from the soaps above. I'll see if you can accept this price. If you can accept this price, I can ship it to you. If you really can't accept it, then there is nothing I can do."

"The price I'm giving you is already the lowest price. Others' scented soaps are all 2 taels of silver. Soaps of this quality would definitely be in great demand in the capital or the imperial capital. If you don't sell them, other bosses will sell them too. There's no shortage of wealthy merchants and dignitaries in the capital and the imperial capital. On the contrary, they prefer this kind of delicate and unique soap."

"Madam Yun, okay, let's do it according to your price. The scented ones are 50 yuan, and the unscented ones are 30 yuan. We will try to sell them first. If the effect is good, we will inform you. Anyway, you have to send another batch of goods to the restaurant in a few days."

Everyone laughed so hard that they couldn't stop. 120 taels of silver had been deposited into the account. It was just around the corner to build the house.

Daniu said happily: "Mom, we have to work hard like this, otherwise we can't keep up. We can get at least 1 tael of silver for each egg we sell, which is much better than making some useless preserved eggs."

Yun Tao thought for a while, "We still have to make preserved eggs. Although preserved eggs don't make much money, they are sold on behalf of others. Flies are meat no matter how small they are, and preserved eggs are easy to make. Erniu, Sanniu, you two should focus on making preserved eggs during this period, and you don't have to do other work. When I tell you to stop, you will stop working. If I don't say anything, you two will keep doing this."

"Daniu, you and your three uncles specialize in making soap. We need to make it faster starting tomorrow."

"Brother, second brother, third brother, and my sister-in-law are all at home. The demand for soap bamboo tubes is also very high, as you can see. The price of soap is quite good. I plan to let you make the bamboo tubes. You three still have to help me work here every day. I will give you 10 coins for each bamboo tube. But I have requirements for the quality of the bamboo tubes. Not only do I want the shape to meet the standards, but it must also be finer and smoother than the previous bamboo tubes, and it must not rub my hands. The quality must meet the standards, and the next batch of goods will be sent to the capital for sale."

"Three brothers, you are so surprised to hear what I said. Is what you said true? Let's take the bamboo tubes back and drink them. They cost 10 cents each."

"It's true, but the quality has to be up to standard. Even though you are my brothers, if the quality is not good, I will take back the job. Let me make it clear to you first."

Yun Da was extremely happy. If the three brothers worked on it every day, they would have to make more than a hundred bamboo tubes. If the three sisters-in-law and mother worked on it every day, they would have at least a hundred coins a day, which would be several taels of silver in a month. In a year, it would be dozens of taels. Just thinking about it made him excited. That was all silver, pure silver. Since my little sister said so, it must be true. "

"Little sister, thank you so much. Our family now has an extra income. We can collect a certain amount of eggs every day, and we can earn some money in a month. With the money from the bamboo bank, it will be even more."

Big brother, second brother, third brother, it is settled now. These soaps are for mother and three sisters-in-law, one each. Let them all use them. As the younger sister and the daughter, I will do my best to be filial to them.

Yun San heard this and said, "Little sister, this is not possible. Four bars of soap cost almost seven taels of silver, which is our family's annual expenditure. You should take it back quickly. Your sister-in-law and her peasants are not worthy of using such good soap."

Okay, you three stop talking. I know what I’m doing. Just take it.

"Cousin, what do you think of this soap? It's very useful."

"Cousin, the soap you gave me this time is very useful. It is more delicate and smoother than the last soap. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that this soap makes my skin much smoother. And the fragrance of this soap is very unique, not greasy at all. On the contrary, the more you smell it, the more you like it. Even the master stayed at my place yesterday and said that I have a fresh fragrance."
