Chapter 299: There are always people who are the best at offending people
Bai Ko raised his hand and handed the paper soap to the palace maid beside him.
"Summoned by the mother, the courtiers don't have a suitable gift in their hands, and this paper soap is a brand new thing, but it seems that we are still late, I'm really embarrassed." Mrs. Gu leaned over slightly and said politely.
"Hehehehe, it's okay, Junting, this girl gave some, but you are the main owner of making zuò paper soap, I heard that many people in the camp bought some before leaving, can it be regarded as famous?"
"This courtier can't talk about it, Bai Ko is in charge of business affairs, and she is the main owner of this paper soap."
"Oh?!" Empress Ye was really slightly surprised this time, and even Ye Junting and the surrounding palace maids looked at Bai Ko in surprise.
"This is really impressive, in addition to cooking and housekeeping, even this paper soap can be made, but why is it called soap? Where does the name come from? ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, soap is taken from the abbreviation of soap horn, usually fragrant pancreas fragrant pancreas is called smooth, but paper fragrant pancreas is very awkward, borrowing the word soap, it is easy to remember a lot."
"Hehe, it makes sense, it makes sense, paper soap is smoother than paper pancreas." Queen Ye tasted the difference in titles, and agreed again and again, "Why don't you other pancreas also use the word soap, it is simple and clear, and it is different from the usual names of your peers, as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is your fresh business." In other words, if it weren't for Junting to explain it to the palace, I really couldn't think of what three words it was. The name is also unique. ”
"Xie Niangniang Chrysostom, in the future, all kinds of pancreas that are fresh and dirty will be named with soap characters." Bai Ko immediately saluted and settled the naming matter. Pancreas, pancreas, she doesn't like it.
"The little girl's mind turned really fast, and you took it over as soon as Bengong said it casually. But what do you say about all kinds of pancreas? What, there are new tricks? ”
"Back to Niangniang, there is only one workshop at present, and the main business is household soap for washing clothes, and I hope to make money by selling human soap to build a larger factory so that I can do soap business."
"Since there is now a workshop for making housework soap, where did you make this paper soap?"
"If I go back to my mother, I stopped the production of household soap and changed it to paper soap, and the workshop has resumed normal production before we set off."
"In other words, we won't be able to buy this paper soap when we go back to the capital?"
"If you go back to your mother, it will be really difficult to buy it for a period of time."
"Can't you think of a way to build a big factory ahead of time?"
"If you go back to your mother, you can only rely on loans to build the factory in advance, and our son's money is only enough to maintain the normal operation of the workshop."
"A dignified son of a country, is he so poor?" The queen didn't believe it, no one present believed it, only Mrs. Gu believed that her son really had no money.
"Back to Niangniang, our son is really poor. In the past, he fed the whole family and was not hungry, and the money he saved was small, but he was a generous master, he loved to reward his subordinates, and after entering the house, he met new friends, and the expenses on the relationship increased, so that he finally realized what it means to be stretched, and he felt that he was embarrassed to reach out to his family to ask for money at this age, but fortunately he was a bold man, and took out the remaining money on hand to open a business and make a little money. ”
"Hmm~, Gu Yun is a bold one, but the skill of making soap is yours. This business has been a family workshop since ancient times, and it is pitiful to earn some money to support his family, but he can be persuaded by you to pay for this business, why did he agree? ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, because there are no competitors in the soap business, the competitors that our world has to deal with are those craftsmen in the family workshop, and if you want to have money for the world every month, you must monopolize the business of Tianshui Fang, and you must let those craftsmen pass through the door."
"Squeezing out other people's businesses to support their families, you are quite frank."
"Niangniang, to tell you the truth, in the original plan of the prince, after the other soap-making workshops in Tianshui Fang were crushed and a de facto monopoly was formed, they could turn around and hire those experienced old craftsmen to be technicians, so that they could continue to support their families and earn more than they had earned before."
"The original plan?" Empress Ye is very good at grasping the key points, "Has the plan changed?" ”
"If you go back to your mother, the plan can't always be changed."
"Where has it changed?"
"Back to Niangniang, it's because the old craftsman has changed. Soap making to use strong alkali, the traditional process has a strict needle is insufficient, strong alkali powder will enter the human body with breathing, a long time, people will suffer from strict breathing diseases, asthma, chest tightness, coughing, basically after the age of 30 is slowly weakened and died. ”
"Is soap making so dangerous? What is any soap? Soap included? The people around the queen were all frightened by Bai Ko's description, they only picked on this easy to use and that one was not easy to use, where would they care about how this thing was made.
"If you go back to Niangniang, the steps of raw material processing are the same."
"The soap used in the palace is also made in such a dangerous way?"
"Niangniang, the palace supplies don't understand, if it is a time-honored shop, they have the financial resources to guarantee, as long as they are willing to spend the capital, maybe they have their own secret new technology, this outsider is unknown."
"Auntie, can you let your niece say something?"
"Okay, you say." Empress Ye smiled kindly at her niece.
"Aunt Xie."
Ye Junting nodded lightly to the queen, turned around and nodded to Mrs. Gu again, and finally moved her gaze to Bai Ko.
"Miss Ye, please speak directly." Bai Ko bowed to Ye Junting, she was wearing an arrow-sleeved riding suit, with a robe with four slits at the hem like a man, in the current relaxed atmosphere, just bow to Ye Junting as a woman.
"You just said that the traditional soap-making process is very dangerous to craftsmen, but this paper soap is made in a short time, aren't you afraid that your craftsmen will be hurt more?"
Bai Ko's expression was calm, maintaining a kind and smiling appearance, Ye Junting could only scold in her stomach if she didn't like this.
"Miss Ye got to the point, but this is a fresh trade secret, which will not be disclosed."
"So careful? There are no outsiders here, so it won't be good to say a few words, and you're afraid that people will overhear it? ”
Ye Junting sat meekly for so long, and as soon as she spoke, she was still the proud and willful young lady in her bones, and Mrs. Gu's good impression of her in her heart swished down.
"That's right, Miss Ye, the maid is afraid of being overheard." Bai Ko frankly admitted, "The partition wall has ears, and it has to be guarded against, and the solid brick wall is unreliable, not to mention the pitiful thickness of this felt tent." ”
"Auntie, look at it, this is using us as a thief defense." Ye Junting pursed her lips and coquettishly told the queen.
"Junting, this is your mistake, Bai Ko has already said that it is a trade secret, you should not continue to ask, you are a big girl with Lu, you must know how to act in proportion."
Queen Ye didn't help her niece at all, but said that Ye Junting pursed her mouth with an aggrieved face
