Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich
Chapter 32 Trading
"Using soap won't guarantee that your hands won't crack, but it will certainly reduce the extent of the cracking."
"As for what my second brother asked, these four bars of soap used a can of lard, which should be less than 15 cents. The other things are free, which means that the cost of a bar of soap is 4 cents."
Saponification is the simplest chemical reaction, and vegetable oil can actually do it.
However, there was no vegetable oil in that era, and she didn't dare to produce it, so she had no idea of how to lower the cost for the time being.
"You feel your hands are cool after washing them because I added mint juice to them."
"If you use it to wash your face, you should add peach blossom or something that can beautify your face."
The next day, the number of people going to the market was unprecedentedly large, because Wang was going back to her parents' home, and Ali accompanied her.
Fortunately, people who go to the market all carry large and small bags, so even if they carry sacks, they don’t look out of place.
The original owner was more jealous than concerned about the fact that his second sister-in-law's family lived in the county town. To put it in round numbers, he knew nothing about it.
"Second sister-in-law, take these two bars of soap back with you. There's nothing good at home, so just make do with what you have."
The ox cart can go directly to the county town. When Ye Guo got off the cart halfway, he handed over a lotus leaf bag.
"This..." No matter what the consideration is, when going back to her parents' home, the more things she brings, the better. But regarding the soap, Wang looked at Boss Ye hesitantly.
Ye Guo is a very smart man!
Without saying anything, he stuffed the things into Wang's arms, and then called out to Boss Ye, "Brother, you come and persuade us. It's not good to let the ox cart wait too long."
Boss Ye, "Listen to my little sister. We don't plan to hide this thing from others. It would be great if our family can use it first."
This made Ye Guo look at her in a new light. "It's just Second Sister-in-law. This isn't something expensive. We made it at home. If they think it's useful, we'll make more and send them over."
After saying that, the three of them went straight to Huichuntang. Brother Sun was behind the counter, busy preparing medicine.
What was different from the last time was that when he saw that it was Ye Guo who came, Brother Sun put down all the work in his hands, walked out from the counter, and led the three people to the backyard, "Miss Ye, Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time."
"I also brought some medicinal herbs." Ye Guo pointed at the sacks on the two people behind him.
Sun had never seen anyone carrying sacks to sell medicine before, so he instinctively asked, "What kind of herbs are these? Why are there so many?"
"Honeysuckle! This thing is too light and takes up too much space."
"Then bring them in together first, but Miss Ye, this honeysuckle is used as medicine, but there are some particularities." Although he said so, he said politely to Ye Lao Da and Ye Cheng, "Grandpa is anxious to see Miss Ye. There is also a scale in the backyard. Let Grandpa take a look at this medicinal material when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Sun." Boss Ye said with a smile. He didn't expect that he could get an explanation.
They used to be respectful to others, but now they were treated with courtesy by a future doctor. Boss Ye felt very proud and whispered to Ye Cheng, "Your aunt is really capable. You should watch carefully and learn from her."
Doctor Sun heard the noise outside and took the initiative to greet them, "Miss Ye, you are finally here. What did your master say?"
Seeing a white-haired old man looking at her eagerly, that feeling was really too sour, so she didn't hesitate and said what she had thought before, "Doctor Sun, the letter has been sent through the post station, but the reply letter will probably not arrive for ten days or half a month."
She actually thought about giving a direct text description, but she had to adapt to local conditions. With the current traffic conditions, going through the post station was the fastest way.
Doctor Sun was in a very good mood. He was not unhappy at all after hearing this. Instead, he comforted her and said, "Just send the letter. This is a method that can be passed down from generation to generation. I can wait."
"That's good. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. How about this? I'll teach you the method first, so that you won't delay in curing the disease and saving lives."
Ye Guo really didn't care, but Doctor Sun knew the seriousness of the matter very well.
He scolded with a stern face, "No, no, you taught me, what's the difference between that and just writing the recipe for me? Since you have a master, you can't be so casual."
Well, that makes me seem insincere.
But Doctor Sun obviously had no grudges, so it really didn't matter.
"You are about the same age as my grandson. From now on, just follow Xiaotian and call me Grandpa Sun." The more Doctor Sun looked at the young lady in front of him, the more he liked her. He wished he had one of his own, so he took the initiative to speak.
Addressing someone is the first step to getting closer, and Ye Guo immediately jumped on the bandwagon, "Grandpa Sun, my name is Ye Guo. Usually, everyone in my family calls me Xiao Guo."
"Xiao Guo, what's in your sack?" Just when Ye Guo was thinking about how to say thank you in classical Chinese, Doctor Sun pointed at the things on Ye Lao's shoulder and asked.
"Grandpa, Miss Ye said that it was filled with honeysuckle and she wanted to sell it to us." Sun Xiaotian interrupted and asked the two to put down the sacks, opened one, grabbed a handful from it and put it on a wooden board, then handed it over.
Doctor Sun first smelled the scent, then twisted it with his hands, and finally stuffed a few sticks directly into his mouth, which made Boss Ye and Ye Cheng on the side look nervous.
Ye Ben instinctively looked at his aunt and found that she was sitting leisurely beside the stone table, observing the medicinal herbs drying on the table.
"When did you pick this honeysuckle? How did you prepare it?"
Doctor Sun had a serious expression. Boss Ye wanted to say something, but he didn't really understand. Ye Guo looked as if he hadn't heard anything, so Ye Cheng stepped forward and continued, "I picked them the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday in the evening, and in the morning before the sun came out. I dried them over a low fire during the day and put them in a ventilated place at night."
"Did Xiaoguo say all this?" Doctor Sun smiled and sat down next to the stone table.
"Well, honeysuckle! If you pick it and then dry it in the sun, it's only good for this season. You can make tea with it, but it's definitely not good for medicine."
"Xiaoguo is knowledgeable. This honeysuckle is better than those sold by drug dealers. 20 cents per ounce, I'll take it. But if you want to sell it next time, you'll have to go to the county hospital." Although Doctor Sun wanted to help, this medicine was indeed not used much.
This was very clear, Ye Guo thanked him first, and then asked Doctor Sun to recommend a reliable clinic. This was no problem, Doctor Sun even gave Ye Guo a note, saying that no matter how much he ate, he could take it.
Three sacks of honeysuckle were worth 230 coins. After deducting the 100 coins for buying medicine for Ye Laoer, there were only 130 coins left. Ye Guo raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
So this medicinal materials business is really difficult to do.
Before leaving, Ye Guo took out a piece of soap wrapped in a lotus leaf and handed it to Doctor Sun, "Grandpa Sun, this is the little thing I brought you this time."
She spread out the lotus leaf, revealing a white square of soap inside. "This is soap. You can use it for bathing and washing hands. If you don't need it, just put it in a cool place. It will be fine for a few years."
"Something for washing hands?" Doctor Sun was an extremely curious person and wanted to try its effect on the spot.
Then, he looked at his white hands, stunned.
He thought he was knowledgeable and experienced, but it took him a long time to find his voice.
