After coming out of the county office, Liren went directly to the military camp outside the city, found the sworn brother, and gave him 10 pieces of soap.

After telling the sworn brother how to use it, General Chen was amazed and insisted that soap become a specific purchase item for his troops in the future.

Ten days after Liren returned to Wangjiazhuang, Zhang Zhixian hurriedly visited Liren. The corners of Liren's mouth curled, and he greeted the magistrate with Miss Zhang.

Coming to the living room, Zhang Zhixian hurriedly said, "Virtuous nephew, is there anything else you said about soap?" ”

Seeing that the magistrate was in a hurry, Liren asked: "It is not easy to make soap, and now there are only fifteen pieces in stock." I wonder why my uncle is so anxious? ”

Zhang Zhixian's face was full of shame: "Virtuous nephew, don't you know, after your aunt used soap, she couldn't leave it, and she told her sisters that she would give it to her, and take it." The 10 bars of soap that my nephew gave me a few days ago are gone, and now your aunt wants to go back to her parents' house, so she has to force me to come and ask for it. So today, the uncle also has a cheeky face to ask the virtuous nephew for a little. ”

"I don't know how many pieces of soap my uncle wants this time, if it exceeds the current inventory, the little nephew will be gone." Rihito said with concern.

Zhang Zhixian hurriedly said: "It's not much this time, it will cost 5 yuan, as long as her mother's family is enough." ”

Liren instructed his subordinates to hurriedly bring soap, and Zhang Zhixian took the soap and asked: "I don't know how much this soap costs to my nephew, uncle, I didn't bring cash today, how is this good?" ”

"Uncle smiled, there are only a dozen taels of soap tattooed silver, it is not worth mentioning, even if the uncle uses it." Rihito said with a smile.

Zhang Zhixian was very grateful and hurriedly said goodbye.

After Li Ren waited for the magistrate to leave, he said to Miss Zhang: "It's only now, and we will earn silver in the future." Ha ha!! ”

Since then, soap has become a big news for the upper echelons of Anxi, but until now only ten people such as Mrs. Zhixian have it. The man who had never seen it blew soap into the sky and said, "Soap can take away all the dirt in the world." Someone also said, "I tried it myself, and the soap was so powerful that it washed my face white." ”

Liren's soap workshop was built in Wangjiazhuang, and it was heavily guarded, and everyone except himself and Miss Zhang had to be checked. The workers working in it were all relatives of the bandits who had been subdued in the mountains.

In 3 days of construction, a total of more than 2,000 pieces of soap were obtained. Liren called the sworn brother and Miss Zhang to discuss together: "Big brother, do you think the current soap is worth a lot of money?" ”

After pondering, General Chen said: "Such a magical thing, it is not too much to sell for 3 taels of silver per piece. But my brother also knows that your eldest brother is a soldier and only knows how to fight, and the rest is up to you to decide. ”

"Owner, according to the slave maid, 3 taels of silver is a bit expensive, and 2 taels of silver is better. And we women are so beautiful, at such a price, many middle-class families can afford it. Miss Zhang thought about it and said affirmatively.

Li Ren smiled and decided: "Okay, as Miss An Zhang said, two taels of silver a piece." And not only do we have to sell it in Anxi, but we also have to buy it in the capital. ”

The next day, the streets of Anxi began to be lively, with six young girls dressed in white clothes holding leaflets in their hands. With a smile on your face, hand out a flyer to everyone who passes by. After getting the leaflet, those who don't know words look for people who know words to see what it is, and those who know words hurriedly run to the Wang's shop in the west of the city to see what the soap they haven't seen looks like.

Suddenly, there was a crowd of people at the door of Wang's shop, Liren was sitting in the house, and when he saw that there were too many people, he hurriedly sent a few plainclothes guards to maintain order, and the people outside the store couldn't wait and shouted: "Quickly show us the soap you said, what does it look like?" ”

Li Ren walked to the door of the store in a hurry, picked up the paper megaphone made two days ago and shouted to the crowd: "Folks, fathers. I, Wang Qing, the owner of Wangjiazhuang, would like to thank everyone for their support. Don't worry, everyone, be quiet. I immediately began to demonstrate the use of soap for everyone, and if it was not true, everyone could smash the sign of my royal family. ”

The crowd heard the sound coming from the loudspeaker and immediately fell silent, and Liren called a girl to let her hands rub her hands in the prepared putty, and then the girl took out soap and dipped it in water and carefully smeared it on her hands, and then washed it with water, and the girl raised her hands to show everyone carefully.

Suddenly there was a shout of admiration from the crowd, but the people behind them didn't see it very clearly, and a thug on the street walked to the front unconvinced, stretched out his hands that were always dirty, and said, "Shopkeeper, can I wash my hands?" ”

Liren saw that he was here to find fault, but now that business is important, it is not good to deal with this gangster, so Liren said with a pleasant face: "Since this guest officer wants to try, then please come and wash it." ”

Li Ren and Yan Yue stepped aside, and walked to the side of the freshly changed water, grabbed the soap and applied it to his hands, rubbed it and went through it with water. The gangster thought that it was not cleaned, so he took out his hand and was about to speak, but when he looked again, he saw how his hands were much cleaner.

The thug rolled his eyes, raised his hands and said loudly to Rihito, "It's over, it's over!" What kind of thing are you, I had a good hand, but now I've washed off a layer of skin, boss, what do you say?. ”

Many people around knew this gangster, and heard that the gangster was going to be vexatious now. Everyone is a little upset about the boss, but they don't dare to offend this gangster. Only shouted from behind the crowd: "The boss of the family is kind enough to let you try washing, but you are slandering others, something." ”

When the gangsters heard this, they stopped doing it and shouted at the crowd: "Who the is talking nonsense, give it to grandpa and I'll stand up." You see that the black skin on my hand is gone, and you are blind? He turned his head and shouted at Liren: "Boss! How do you say? ”

The crowd didn't dare to speak to the gangsters, so they could only help comfort Liren. Hearing that the kind people cared about him, Liren bowed his hand to everyone: "I, Wang, thank you again for your love, please be quiet." The crowd fell silent.

Li Ren said thank you to the crowd, turned his head and smiled at the gangsters and said, "This brother, you said that my soap washed off your skin, how much is your hands worth?" ”

"My skin is very precious, there is no place in general, and the skin of my hands is worth at least 100 taels of silver." The thug looked at Rihito arrogantly and said.

The corners of Liren's mouth curled: "Then the skin value of your hands is 100 taels, may I ask how much your whole body is worth?" ”

The thug looked at his whole body and said hesitantly: "At least, it's worth 1,000 taels of silver." ”

"Oh! You see, I feel guilty for hurting the skin of your hands today. As an apology, I bought the rest of the skin together, what do you think brother? Liren gently took out 1,000 taels of silver and showed it to the gangsters.

When had the gangster seen so much money, his eyes were full of stars, and he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, it's great, I agree, give it to me." As he spoke, he reached for the money.

Liren took the money to dodge the gangster's claws, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, brother, you see that I bought your whole body skin, and you have to write me a note too." ”

The gangster didn't catch the money, and was about to shout, when he heard that he just wrote a note and agreed. When the thug holds the pen, the thug remembers that he can't write. Then he looked at Liren and said, "Boss, why bother. You see, I can't write, so I still got the money directly. ”

Li Ren smiled and said to the gangsters: "Brother, you also know that buying and selling things, especially large items, always require a note, that is, the government investigates it, and you can say where your brother's money came from, yes or no?" ”

It's right to think about it, it's very troublesome to be a real official because I suddenly got such a large sum of money, and the source is unknown. Then he looked at Riren and said, "Then you can write it for me, find someone else to see, and I will draw it." ”

Li Ren asked the name of the gangster, so he asked the store manager to write it down and read it to the gangster: "Today, because Li Gouzi washed his hands and skin in my store, I, Wang Qing, am deeply disturbed. So I Wang Qing is willing to buy the skin of Li Gouzi's whole body for 1000 taels of silver~~~~"

After reading it, Li Ren looked at the crowd happily and said, "I, Wang Qing, am here, please be able to be an intermediary for this matter, I don't know who is willing?" ”

Three young Confucian scholars immediately walked out of the crowd and looked at the gangsters coldly, and said in unison: "I am willing to guarantee the owner." ”

Li Ren hurriedly gave a salute to the three Confucian scholars: "The three brothers are invited, and the younger brother has thanked me here." The Confucian scholars greeted Liren one after another, walked to the table, and signed their names on the note.
