Chapter 109: Let You Enjoy Happiness
The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley, Chang Mao's good reputation in the Qinhuai River helped Ma Du solve this problem, Pingzhang? Ma Du felt that he should be called "Liu Yong". x update the fastest those boudoirs with red cards, it is really a gold hole, and the wealthy businessmen who can enter here really don't care so much about whether the soap is five taels, thirty taels, or fifty taels.
One is to make the beauty happy, and the other is to make it fresh, when they bring the soap home, things seem to become out of control, the eldest wife wants it, the wife wants it, the eldest daughter wants it, and the daughter wants it. After the unbearable men arrived again, they found that the price of soap, which was originally only sold for fifty taels, had increased.
It's not that the girls are too greedy, it's really because Mrs. Mao, who has always had a lot of soap, suddenly disappeared, and the price of soap also rose slowly until it reached a box of 100 taels.
The shocked Ma Du himself was dumbfounded, he was not engaged in any hunger marketing, he really had no goods, the soap was enough, but his mother's soap box was still on the way, people relied on clothes and Buddha relied on gold, and goods had to rely on packaging.
In this way, the popularity of soap has increased greatly, and businessmen who have already smelled business opportunities have gone to find Chang Mao. The number of orders in Chang Mao's hands has added up to almost a thousand. Ma Du handed over the craft to a few loyal servants of the Chang Mansion, and the workshop had been moved to the Chang family, which was inconvenient in the Wu Mansion after all.
Ma Du was not worried about being learned by the people of Changfu to start anew, because he believed that Madame Chang was a shrewd enough woman not to be blinded by these benefits. And Mrs. Chang has a very good set of management subordinates, so she doesn't have to worry about the servants jumping ship, plus the name of the fierce god of spring, who dares to dig the foot of the wall.
Facts also proved that Ma Du was not wrong about Mrs. Chang, not only the workshop management was good, but the business was also carried out in an orderly manner, and Chang Mao had thirty percent of the orders in his hand, which were obtained when Mrs. Chang went to various houses.
After the soap boxes from Jiangxi arrived, 1,000 boxes of soap were immediately put on the market, and they were sold out in a blink of an eye. Who the hell there were no rich people in ancient times, is this still a troubled time?
Mado knew that after the initial freshness of the soap, the heat would definitely drop and the price would follow. At that time, more low-end markets will be his broader financial resources, but before that, it will not prevent him from making a lot of money first.
After two months of hard practice, Ma Du's calligraphy can finally be written horizontally and vertically, and finally has the confidence to ask Song Lian for leave, thinking that it will be difficult to do, Song Lian heard that he was going to visit poor relatives in the countryside, so he agreed.
For fear that Lao Song would regret it, Ma Du hurriedly took people out of the palace, the weather had begun to get cold, Ma Du bought a lot of things needed for winter in the market, loaded them in the carriage and swayed out of the city.
The carriage just drove into the yard, but he didn't hear the children's cheers, only heard the heart-rending cries and howls of the girls in the house.
The old man is in his fifties, and it is actually good to be able to live to be in his fifties in such troubled times, and the old man is usually in good health, how can he suddenly be bad? Ma Du's eyes were hot, and he got out of the carriage with a rub, and then he saw the fish, and ran out of the house crying barefoot, holding Ma Du and crying, "Brother, let's not be a big family, okay, woo woo...... Let's go back to the lake, it's not a big family......" body trembled with sobs, very pitiful.
Then the water chestnut also came out of the house, the same bare feet, and a slender linen belt was wrapped around the ankle, and the water chestnut hugged Ma Du and cried bitterly, "Brother, don't wrap your feet with water chestnuts, your feet hurt so much, don't wrap your feet with water chestnuts ......"
Ma Du immediately understood, it turned out that the old man was wrapping the feet of the three girls, no wonder he was crying so much, and a nameless karmic fire rose in Ma Du's heart inexplicably.
Foot binding existed in the Northern Song Dynasty, first the prostitutes in the ** in order to satisfy the ** habits of the literati, and then gradually spread.
Tu Xiang does not cherish the lotus to take steps, and the long sorrow Luo socks Ling Bo goes; I saw the dance back to the wind, but there was nowhere to go. stealing the palace is stable, and standing double falling; Delicate should be difficult, must be seen from the palm of the hand. is a very beautiful word, it is the famous Su Dongpo's "Bodhisattva Man" with his feet bound.
After the Song Dynasty moved south, the trend of foot binding gradually brought to the south, and foot binding has become extremely common in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the word "foot" has become synonymous with women. It's just that at this time, the foot binding is not as good as the three-inch golden lotus wrapped in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
After the Mongols settled in the Central Plains, they had an appreciative attitude towards foot binding, and the trend of foot binding continued to spread, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was already the concept of not binding feet, but there were still many people who did not bind their feet, especially in households or farmers, where women were an important labor force.
Foot binding has been prevalent in the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty can't ban foot binding if you want to, yes, the Qing Dynasty did prohibit foot binding, but it can't help it, and in the end it can only be laissez-faire, foot binding has developed to the extreme in the Qing Dynasty, and even many banner women have been taken to the ditch.
When I learned a text "Sun Yat-sen Breaks Bad Habits", because Sun Yat-sen saw the pain of his sister's foot binding, he was determined to overthrow the feudal dynasty.
Madu never imagined that the bad habits, which were so distant in his impression, would be so close to him. The two greased and powdered mothers-in-law rushed out of the house angrily, and were about to go to pull the girl and the water chestnut, but the two girls were so frightened that they hid behind Ma Du, like chickens.
"Get out of here!" Ma Du's voice was not loud, but his eyes were terrifyingly scary, Lao Liu and Zhang Wuliu cooperated very well and pulled out half of the knife, and the two mothers-in-law were immediately frightened and hid aside.
The old loach came out of the house, stamped his feet and said, "Don't frighten the two aunts, they were invited from the city by me for a lot of money." Then he said to the two girls with a tiger face: "You two come over to me to see if I don't break your ass." ”
The two of them buried their heads directly in Ma Du's waist, but they didn't come out, hoping that their brother could become their last guarantee.
Ma Du said to the old loach: "Grandpa, you don't care about this matter, leave it to me!" ”
"Okay!" The old loach smiled and agreed.
Madu approached the two women and asked, "Why don't you two bind your feet?" ”
The two old women lost the momentum they had just now, and they were as docile as sheep with low eyebrows, "The slut was born poor, and she has to run for life, so she naturally can't enjoy such blessings." ”
Ma Du sneered, "You two are going to run, and my sister deserves to stand on tiptoe at home, hasn't she never enjoyed happiness?" Ma Du took the strap on the ankle of the water chestnut and handed it to Lao Liu, "Let them enjoy the happiness!" ”
