After farming, I opened a family tree
Chapter 20 Visitors from the Capital
In the twelfth lunar month, as the Chinese New Year approaches, the town is much more lively than usual.
Many female guests came to Yueren Pavilion.
The next morning after Xiang Niang returned, a wave of customers came to the shop.
"This is your best rouge shop? I don't think it's anything special."
"Compared to the capital, it's far behind."
A girl about fifteen or sixteen years old looked around the shop indifferently.
I picked up a few bottles of rouge and smelled them.
"These things are only considered good by you. But I can't blame you. You haven't been to the capital, so naturally you haven't seen any good things."
When Madam Xiang saw the other party's attire, she knew that the visitor was extraordinary. The jewels on her head were all extremely gorgeous.
Moreover, the other party must be of great importance, as the young ladies from the He and Li families could be so cautious when accompanying guests that they dared not even breathe a word.
"What this young lady said is that the capital is nothing compared to our small town."
"Young lady, you have a lot of experience at such a young age. However, there is something in our shop that I don't think is available in the capital."
Sure enough, the other party was very disdainful and raised his voice.
"I want to see something I haven't seen before."
Madam Xiang smiled.
He took out a tray from the cabinet behind him.
A piece of red silk cloth is placed under the white soap body, making the white soap look even more exquisite.
I saw that the other party frowned slightly.
"Mrs. Xiang, is this soap?"
Li Tianxiang spoke. Although it looked more extraordinary this time, she would not mistake the "Tangji" on the soap body.
"Miss Li really has a keen eye."
Li Tianxiang proudly suppressed the smile on her lips.
She was really annoyed with Chen Ruyi from the capital, but her father said that she was from a prominent family and seemed to be the daughter of a third-rank official.
"What is soap?"
Chen Ruyi was indeed puzzled, but not angry.
Before Madam Xiang could speak, she heard Miss He speak.
"This soap is really good stuff. It can be used to clean hands and clothes. After washing, your hands and clothes are not only exceptionally clean, but they also leave a lingering fragrance!"
"Miss He is right, but this time, this white soap is not for washing hands and clothes."
"What is that for?"
Chen Ruyi asked quickly.
Madam Xiang spoke proudly.
"This soap is for bathing and washing your face."
"Ladies, if you powder your face and wash it with this soap, it will be not only exceptionally clean, but also incredibly smooth. As for bathing, it goes without saying."
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone present smiled.
When they meet guests on weekdays, they usually have to put on powder and rouge, and it takes a long time to wash their faces at night, and they also use bath beans.
Not only will your face feel uncomfortable after washing, but sometimes red sores will also appear.
"Great, it's rare that you have something like this in your little shop! Give me eighty dollars!"
Chen Ruyi was quite interested. This thing was really great for girls like them.
She wants to bring some back to open the eyes of other noble ladies!
"I'm so sorry, this white soap is only ten yuan a day."
"so little!"
No, she will be returning to Beijing in a few days.
Ten dollars a day, not to mention my close friends, I’m afraid it’s not enough for my family.
"Boss, here, three days later, I want... two hundred yuan!"
In addition to my sisters, there are also elders in the family. As it is the end of the year, there is a lot of interaction between the families.
I'm not afraid of having too much, I'm afraid of having too little.
Madam Xiang looked embarrassed. After all, Shen Tang said that this white soap could only be sold for ten yuan a day.
"Miss, it's not that I don't want to sell it, it's just that we don't have that much in stock."
"I don't care how much silver you pay for this piece. I'll give you double it. Just work harder."
The other two young ladies behind her also spoke up.
"Yes, Madam Xiang, hurry up."
Chen Ruyi has bought it all, what will they use it for?
"This unfamiliar young lady probably doesn't know that ordinary soap in our shop costs one tael of silver. Not only is the production process of white soap complicated, but the raw materials are also very precious."
"Each piece costs eight ounces of silver."
After Xiang Niang said this, Chen Ruyi's expression remained unchanged.
The young ladies from the He and Li families were surprised.
I originally thought that this white soap would cost only a few taels of silver at most, but I didn't expect it to cost eight taels of silver per piece.
But then I thought about it again, a piece of soap bridge can be used for washing face and taking a bath for a month, so the price is acceptable.
"It's only eight taels of silver. If you rush it, I'll give you a bonus, sixteen taels."
When Xiang Niang mentioned eight taels of silver, she felt a little nervous.
I have already decided that if the other party doesn't want it, I will lower the price.
Who would have thought that the other party would catch it so smoothly.
The incident happened suddenly, I believe Tang Meizi can understand it.
"The young lady is a straightforward person. I will send someone to urge her this afternoon."
"These ten bars of soap are still eight taels of silver. If you need urgent service, I'll charge you double."
Madam Xiang wrapped the ten pieces of white soap herself and put them in a box. Under the envious eyes of others, she handed the soap box to Chen Ruyi's maid.
After buying the soap, they didn't feel like shopping anymore and just turned back.
Just when Xiang Niang was about to pack up and go to Shenjia Village, someone else came to the store.
"Boss, our young lady said that she hopes you can make a few more bars of this white soap when you rush it, and she is willing to double it."
"So does our young lady."
It turned out that she was the maid of the He and Li families.
"Okay, I'll try my best. But I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep for the next few days."
The last time Li Tianxiang bought soap, she found it very useful.
So she asked the maid to come back secretly to inform Madam Xiang. When He Xiurong saw Li's maid turn back, she immediately sent her own maid to pass on the message.
Madam Xiang thought about it and felt that there did seem to be some of the white soap she had seen at Shen Tang's place last time, so she agreed.
Make big!
I don’t know where this young lady came from, but she spent three thousand taels!
She wants to go to Shenjia Village right away!
These days, Shen Tang has been leisurely taking sisters Shen Li and Shen Dan to make soap at home.
She put some of the finished soap into a basket and put it into the compartment of her backpack.
The small family soap workshop is operating in an orderly manner.
Aunt Guihua would also help Liu with housework. In her words, if she didn't help out, she would feel uneasy about the money she received.
Liu couldn't win over her, so she naturally let him do what he wanted.
Shen Dashan has gone into the mountains several times these days and had a good harvest, catching two rabbits and a pheasant.
The pheasant has been eaten and the rabbit has been raised by Shen Tang.
In my daughter's words, rabbit meat is much more delicious than chicken.
I miss the taste of chili peppers!
There was a commotion outside the courtyard, attracting the attention of people inside.
It's Madam Xiang's carriage!
She had just been here yesterday. In order to save time, Madam Xiang had the carriage driven directly to the door of Shen Tang's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he took Shen Tang's hand and whispered.
"Sister Tang! We're rich!"
