Chapter 48: Chinese New Year's Eve

Le Xuan's hands were dipped in water, she picked up the soap and kept rubbing it in her hands, making a bunch of foam and wondering: "It's strange, why can't I wash it cleanly, there will be so much foam?" ”

Chen Siye saw that Le Xuan had been rubbing and rubbing the soap, and couldn't help laughing: "No, no, you can put the soap down, and you can wash your hands with just the foam on your hands." ”

Le Xuan suddenly realized, put down the soap, washed her hands in the basin, only to feel that her hands were extremely refreshing, raised her hands, only to feel a faint fragrance coming to her face, and the ink just stained was gone, and she couldn't help but say strangely: "This is soap?" ”

"How is Sister Le Xuan? Isn't this soap much cleaner than bath beans? ”

Le Xuan nodded lightly and said, "Little Peach, you can try it too." ”

Xiao Tao was already surprised, and when she heard this, she also dipped her hands in some ink, and then washed it clean with soap, and said strangely: "It's true, it's very refreshing after washing." ”

Chen Siye said proudly: "This soap can not only wash the ink, but also wash the oil stains, which is very easy to use." With long-term use, the skin can be white and delicate. Yan'er, who was standing on the side, was also moved when she heard this, which woman doesn't love beauty?

Le Xuan motioned for Yan'er to pour out the water, sat down and asked curiously, "How is this soap made?" Where did you learn it? What is the cost? ”

Chen Siye said in his heart that Le Xuan was really shrewd, and he asked the cost as soon as he tried it, and after a little thought, he said: "This soap-making method was passed on to me by my master, and I have always used soap to wash my hands before." I came to Mingyuelou every time I washed the dishes, my hands were greasy, and I couldn't wash them clean with bath beans, so I wanted to make soap. "Anyway, it's all the things that can't be explained to the unwarranted master.

Le Xuan covered her mouth and smiled, smelled the fragrance on her hand again, and joked: "Your master is really a master in the world, omnipotent, and it is really condescending to let you stay in Mingyue Tower to wash dishes." ”

Chen Siye noticed Le Xuan's small details, and a trace of pride arose in his heart, and he said modestly: "Sister, don't laugh." This soap is only a trial production, there are only a dozen pieces in total, and it needs to be placed for a month before it can be used, because it is a trial production, otherwise you can use molds to make exquisite shapes. Moreover, this soap has high plasticity, just add a variety of spices and petals to make different kinds, different fragrances, add sulfur can also be made into sulfur soap, dandruff and itching, very versatile. ”

Le Xuan heard so many benefits, and said with interest: "Then how much does this piece of soap cost?" ”

Chen Siye: "This soap is mainly made of grease and alkaline water, and I added some milk spices, only the oil is more expensive for these materials, and the rest are very cheap, spending more than one or two silver in total, and the cost of this piece is about 100 yuan." ”

One hundred wen is not a small amount, and it is only a cost, which is destined to not be used in ordinary people's homes, but can only be regarded as a luxury. Unless the price of raw materials is lowered, but it is also difficult, the current process of pressing vegetable oil is still more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Le Xuan listened to what he said, the head was the Tao, and the organization was clear, and she only felt that she had picked up a treasure, so she said: "Xiao Yezi, are you willing to stay by my side, I see that you are awe-inspiring, and you may be able to help me a lot along the way in business." ”

Le Xuan didn't hide it from him, and directly said that she wanted him to help with business, and Xiao Tao seemed to be happy when she heard this.

Chen Siye's mind changed rapidly, if he stayed by Le Xuan's side, it would be beneficial to enhance the relationship, but it was only a master-servant relationship, if it was more difficult to go further, it would be safer to become a partner.

So he refused without modesty: "Sister Le Xuan, I'm used to being a casual person, if I keep doing the same thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, and in the future, my sister will know that I can help you in every way." ”

Before Le Xuan could speak, Xiao Tao's eyebrows suddenly rose, only to feel that these words were arrogant and disrespectful, and reprimanded: "Chen Siye! Who do you think you are, to dare to talk to Miss like this! ”

Le Xuan smiled, waved her hand to stop Xiao Tao and said, "Oh? So confident? So in your opinion, what are my shortcomings now? ”

Chen Siye's face was calm, and he thought for a moment and said: "I know the autumn in a leaf, this time I went to Yongning Mansion, through the matter of the Seven Star Gambling House, I guess that my sister has many businesses, although I don't know how my sister gathered it, but the disadvantages are also obvious." ”

Le Xuan didn't avoid Xiao Tao, and said strangely: "Let's talk carefully, what are the drawbacks." ”

"The first point is that these trade names are mixed with different names, and in my opinion, these trade names should be unified, and the names should be unified, and the design of unique signs is a trademark. The second point is that there is not much in the fine, the direction of development should be determined, as the saying goes, greedy and chewy, although my sister has different industries, she will do everything, but this will only do nothing well. It's better to abandon the others, specialize in one, and establish a reputation. ”

Le Xuan's face was different, "What else?" Go on. ”

"The third point is that although some people are attached to Sister Le Xuan, they are contrary to the yin and yang. It seems that this should be decisively discarded, so as not to be discredited. All businesses should be managed in a unified manner, establish a responsibility system, and assign trustworthy people to manage them, so that they can grow. Chen Siye casually said some modern business concepts that he knew, as for whether Le Xuan listened to it or not, it was her business.

Le Xuan nodded slightly, noncommittal. After pondering for a while, he said: "Pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, but is it a novelty like soap?" ”

"yes, that's it."

"But how can there be so many novelties?" Le Xuan frowned slightly.

"I know a little more, but I can't do it on my own. This requires great rewards to encourage innovation, and there must be brave men under the so-called heavy rewards, and there will always be smart people who offer strategies. ”

Le Xuan's brows furrowed, "You really surprised me." ”

Chen Siye smiled slightly, but did not answer, showing the temperament of a master.

"Tell me about the recipe for this soap and what conditions you want."

Chen Siye secretly said to the point, coughed and said: "In the future, for every piece of this soap sold, I will ask for 20% of it." ”

Le Xuan smiled: "Oh? Really shrewd. ”

Two percent is not a lot, he doesn't have to do anything, he doesn't have to think about any cost sales channels, just sit and take the money.

And the purpose of this is to gradually change from the current employment relationship to a cooperative relationship, so that he can slowly shorten the distance between him and Le Xuan, otherwise how could he let Le Xuan marry him just as a handyman.

Le Xuan thought for a moment and agreed, "Yes." But this recipe can't be given to anyone else. ”

"This is natural, and in the future, this soap will be exclusively owned by Sister Le Xuan. My sister also asked a trusted craftsman to learn. ”

"In that case, let's sign a contract." Le Xuan seemed to be in a good mood.

Chen Siye was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Le Xuan to say that he would sign a contract, thinking that a verbal agreement would be enough, which is relatively rare in this era.

Le Xuan drafted an agreement, handed it to him, and after a closer look, there was no problem, Long Feifeng Wu signed his name and pressed his handprint, and Le Xuan also signed his name and stamped his seal. Le Xuan's words are gentle and delicate, and they are very good-looking.

"When is it time to start making soap?" Chen Siye was a little impatient.

"We'll talk about that in a few years. Do you know what my father told me in this reply? Chen Siye was a little puzzled, why did he suddenly get to the reply.

"And the king of fathers said, This son will be a great man, and he wants me to be kind to you." Le Xuan said with a smile.

Chen Siye couldn't laugh or cry, King Zhennan just saw that he was good at painting, and heard that he only said this as a miscellaneous worker, Le Xuan really misunderstood, probably because he thought that he could speak and argue, and remembered to reply again, thinking that her father was prescient.

Chen Siye didn't explain, this misunderstanding was quite good.

After saying goodbye to Le Xuan and Xiao Tao, Chen Siye left the county lord's mansion, and Xiao Tao did not send him this time, which made Chen Siye feel very lost.

On the way back, he ran to many places to buy pork and cabbage, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, most of them went home to prepare for the New Year, and there were very few stalls to sell.

Originally, they were supposed to make pork and green onion stuffed dumplings, but a few of them didn't eat irritating foods such as onions and garlic, so they had to settle for the next best thing and make pork and cabbage stuffing.

When I arrived at the door, I happened to meet Xiao Wu going out again, and I was about to go back with an empty food box, Xiao Wu saw him with a smile on his face: "Brother Ye has a good New Year!" ”

Chen Siye said in an old-fashioned manner: "Xiao Wu hasn't gone home yet?" ”
