You are unlucky and I am tough

Cheng Shuang felt a slight pain in her wrist and was very angry. She bought a retro screen from the mall and separated the bed.

There was Wei Qinglang's quilt and pillow on the bed. Every morning when he woke up, he would put them on Cheng Shuang's bed.

Cheng Shuang picked up those things and threw them directly at Wei Qinglang.

"Don't you dare cross this screen and go inside, or I'll ignore you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wei Qinglang held the quilt and pillow in his arms, clicked his tongue and looked regretful.

Why did I want to kiss her in a fit of rage? Now it's okay.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the house through the window. Cheng Shuang had gotten up early, looking as if nothing had happened. Wei Qinglang sat on the cot, yawning. He asked her when he would deliver the soap, and Cheng Shuang answered normally.

But the screen in the room was still there, and when he wanted to bring the quilt and pillow inside, she gave him a warning look.

No one in the family noticed anything unusual about the two. While sitting around the table eating breakfast, Cheng Shuang asked her two cousins ​​to go to the mountain today and pick all the mushrooms that were not picked yesterday.

Then he told Cheng Shuang that he would go to the city with her in the afternoon to meet the owner of Fu Ya Zhai and the person in charge of the cooperation there so that he could be responsible for the soap accounts in the future.

The two younger brothers also said they wanted to go to the city to play. Cheng Xu hugged Cheng Shuang's arm and acted coquettishly, "Sister, take me with you. I didn't play when I visited the private school last time. The streets of Luohe Prefecture are so beautiful, and the shops on the street are so tall. It seems there are a lot of fun things to do. Can you take me with you?"

Cheng Shuang pinched his face and said, "Okay, I'll take you there. I like the way you look when you haven't seen the world."

Wei Xinyi also wanted to go, but just as she was about to speak, Wei Qinglang glanced at her and said, "No, you can't go. I just heard you coughing. Stay home."

Wei Xinyi said "oh" and shut up obediently. She felt that her brother seemed unhappy, so she decided not to provoke him.

Wei Qinglang continued to eat breakfast silently without saying a word, but he looked at Cheng Shuang from time to time, thinking about something in his mind.

The soap is ready, but there is one last thing left to do: packaging.

The oil paper in the mall costs one cent per piece, which is half the wholesale price on the market. Cheng Shuang directly bought three thousand sheets, packed them in a wooden box and dragged them out.

Cheng Guqiu saw her dragging a box and hurried to help. It was quite heavy, so they both carried it out to the yard.

"Shuang'er, where did you get so much oil paper?" Cheng Guqiu asked after opening the lid and seeing the things.

Cheng Shuang had not left the village for several days. When she was thinking about how to make up an explanation, Wei Qinglang came over to rescue her.

"I bought it in the county town the day before yesterday."

Cheng Guqiu nodded without asking any more questions and went to work in the vegetable garden at the back.

Cheng Shuang gave her a lot of seeds and wrote down the planting methods. Since she couldn't read, she asked her two daughters to teach her. Now she can recognize some words.

Wei Qinglang bent down, picked up the box, moved it outside, put it on the donkey cart and pulled it to the warehouse. His younger brothers and sisters all followed him, wanting to see the soap.

The workers started working early in the morning, half of them were planting vegetables, and the other half were continuing to clear the land.

In the kitchen, two aunts and two young girls were making breakfast, with smoke rising from the air.

The soap production did not start so early. The two brothers of the Peng family were counting the goods in the warehouse. There was soap, two barrels of boiled oil and a large basin of lard residue in the warehouse. They brought back more than 100 kilograms of lard yesterday, all of which were boiled.

With so many valuable things, the two brothers were afraid that someone would steal them at night, so they had been sleeping on beds in the warehouse for the past few days.

Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang didn't know this before, but when they came early today and saw the beds hadn't been made yet, they realized that they had been sleeping in the warehouse for the past few days.

Wei Qinglang told them that the workshop would be completed soon, and that someone would be assigned to guard the warehouse, so they wouldn't have to work so hard.

A box of oil paper was moved into the warehouse. Cheng Shuang personally taught them how to pack it. The younger brothers and sisters also followed suit out of curiosity. Everyone worked together to wrap the 500 bars of soap one by one with oil paper.

After everything was packed up and five hundred bars of soap were packed and loaded onto the donkey cart, Cheng Shuang returned home, removed the mold from the shampoo soap she had made yesterday, wrapped it with oil paper, and put it separately in a small bamboo basket.

Wei Qinglang took the drawings of the water pressure well and went to see Chang Guanshi, the head of the craftsman team.

He wrote down the installation steps and tools and materials very clearly. The two of them sat under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and looked at the drawings and discussed for nearly an hour.

After Wei Qinglang's explanation, Manager Chang was completely impressed by him and asked him to go back and find someone to customize the water pressure well head, well pipe and other materials. The water pressure well must be tested.

After lunch, Wei Qinglang and Manager Chang went to find someone to order materials for the water pressure well, while Cheng Shuang took his younger brother and sister-in-law to the provincial capital.

A donkey cart was used to carry the soap, and a worker was called to drive it. Cheng Shuang and her brothers and sisters got on a horse-drawn carriage. Song Gaoshan was the driver, and his son Song Qi was sitting next to him. They set out to Fu Ya Zhai to deliver the goods.

The city was as bustling as ever. When they got to the street, the two younger brothers kept sticking their heads out to look. Cheng Shuang said she would take them out for a walk after she finished her business.

The carriage stopped at the door of Fu Ya Zhai. Before entering, I could hear the bustling sounds coming from inside. It was so lively.

When I got off the car and stepped into the store, I saw a huge crowd of people, especially the cleaning supplies counter which was not popular last time.

The waiter from last time recognized Cheng Shuang immediately upon seeing her. He quickly came up to her with a warm smile on his face and said, "Madam Wei, you are finally here. If you don't come soon, the boss will send someone to look for you."

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "I brought something. Ask two people to carry it in."

The waiter's eyes lit up when he heard this. The soap had finally arrived. He had almost worn out his lips these past few days trying to appease customers. He immediately called two servants who were assigned to do odd jobs to move the things, and then personally led Cheng Shuang upstairs.

Generally speaking, the boss would not meet anyone other than his partners, but because Soap was so popular, the waiter automatically ignored the few people following Cheng Shuang and invited them all up.

Qin Suyue was in the perfumery room on the second floor. When she heard Cheng Shuang coming, she immediately stopped what she was doing and ran out.

"Sister." Qin Suyue took Cheng Shuang's hand, "You're finally here! Your soap is really popular. On the first day, I just followed your instructions and had someone wash and display it next to the counter, and all the goods on hand were sold out. After the reputation spread, customers came to the store every day these days to inquire about it!"

This was exactly what Cheng Shuang had expected. There would definitely be a market for soap. She smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Sister Qin's shop's good reputation. Customers trust it."

Qin Suyue pulled her into the tea room for guests and said, "Then we are a perfect match. Don't be so modest."

After she finished speaking, Qin Suyue noticed the people following behind Cheng Shuang. "Who are they?"

"They are my younger brother and sister. They like to play. Today they came with me to the city to go for a walk on the street."

Cheng Shuang introduced everyone to Qin Suyue one by one, including Song Qi, and then continued the topic by letting Cheng Pan be responsible for all the accounts of the cooperation between the two parties, and letting the other party provide an accountant so that both parties could make the accounts transparent.

"Sister Pan'er is so young, yet she can manage the accounts?" Qin Suyue looked at the little girl in surprise. The accountants she had seen were all older men.

Cheng Pan pursed her lips and nodded. "My sister taught me all this. I'm good at accounting and keeping accounts, but I don't have much experience. If there's anything I don't do well in the future, I hope Sister Qin will forgive me."

"It's rare to be able to do it." Qin Suyue admired Cheng Pan very much. "I've been doing business for so many years, and I've never seen a female accountant."

She immediately ordered her maids to fetch some exquisite little things, saying they were gifts for the meeting, and Cheng Shuang couldn't stop her.

Soon the maid came up with a tray filled with all kinds of things.

Qin Suyue first took out two bottles of perfume and placed them in front of Cheng Shuang and Cheng Pan. "This is the rose perfume I made. It can be used to maintain your hair. Take it home and try it, my two sisters."

Cheng Shuang picked up the bottle, opened it and smelled it, "What a nice smell."

"As long as my sister likes it."

Qin Suyue signaled the maid to put the tray on the table and introduced the items one by one. "This is magnolia balm, which can moisturize the skin. This rose water can be used to fumigate clothes. And this osmanthus lip gloss can be used to protect lips when the weather is dry. It is very effective."

Cheng Shuang opened them one by one with great interest and smelled them. She finally understood why Fu Ya Zhai's business was so good. This Miss Qin was a master of beauty research in ancient times.

The two younger brothers were given incense beads and incense pendants. Qin Suyue waved to Cheng Xu and called him over, and personally hung the incense pendant around his waist.

All the items chosen were men's. Even Song Qi, the servant, had a string of incense beads. The incense beads were made with medicinal herbs, and the fragrance they emitted could repel mosquitoes. The incense pendants had a light ambergris scent that was particularly pleasant.

The two of them were already in a cooperative relationship. Cheng Shuang did not act pretentiously and pushed things away. After looking at the things on the table, she had an idea and quickly got down to business with Qin Suyue.

"Sister Qin, you need a lot of flowers to make these things."

Qin Suyue nodded, "Yes, I have two farms outside the city, specializing in growing flowers."

"Why don't I cooperate with you?" Cheng Shuang said, "You provide the floral dew, and I make the soap. We can add the floral dew to the soap to make soaps of various scents. We can use them for washing our faces and bathing. Wouldn't that be more marketable than bath beans and soapberries?

A bath bean costs one or two silver coins, and it is used up in two or three times. Only the rich can afford to use it every time. But soap is different. Even if you use it every day, it can last for more than a month.

Her previous plan was to wait until the soap market stabilized, then plant some flowers and use distillation to extract the floral dew to make soaps of different scents. But now that the best partner is right in front of her, why bother with all that?
