Shen Yi was talking about the soap made yesterday, which was poured into the mold and placed for a day before it was formed today. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info As for what he did today, it was just soap.

When Lu Cheng and Zuo Guoji heard this, they immediately got up and followed Shen Yi to look at the soap.

When he saw the soap that had just been removed from the mold for the first time, Zuo Guoji couldn't believe his eyes, this thing used for bathing and cleaning can be made so beautifully?

"Brother Xianchun, is it ready to use now?"

Shen Yi couldn't wait to ask. If Lu Cheng hadn't told him how to use it, I'm afraid that this piece of soap would have been ruined by him.

Lu Cheng shook his head and explained: "This soap has just been formed, and it needs to be left for more than a month before it can be used. ”

"So long?"

Shen Yi's face was full of disappointment, and he said: "I thought that as long as it was formed, it could be used, no wonder you put away all the things you made earlier." ”

"What are you anxious about?"

Lu Cheng replied, and then smiled at Zuo Guoji: "Brother Zuo, what do you think of this thing?" ”

"Not bad! Brother Lu's soap should be no problem if it is sold for ten taels of silver. ”

Zuo Guoji got closer to look at the soap formed on the table, and saw a mark printed on the top, which was similar to the seal covered by the inscription when painting, and the word "Yayun" was written on it.

Ten taels of silver and a piece of soap is a price that Lu Cheng has set in his heart a long time ago, and if it is lower, the money he will make will be much less. If you sell ten taels, it is estimated that there will be a profit of six to seventy percent.

This is not because the production cost of soap is too high, but the whole process from production to sale is calculated by calculating the rent of the shop and the cost of hiring people.

This business is a tripartite cooperation, if 60% of the profits, Zuo Guoji and Shen Yi will share 20%, and as for the excess, it will all go to Lu Cheng.

Of course, for Shen Yi, this is really not a big deal. He originally didn't plan to ask for these two percent of the profit, but Lu Cheng insisted on giving it, so he had to accept it.

Although Li Lian's family background is very ordinary, he is not very interested in doing business and making money, and he only wants to study and gain fame. He couldn't help too much, so Lu Cheng didn't pull him into the gang.

This is a shop to do business, naturally Lu Cheng and others will not come forward to be the shopkeeper, Zuo Guoji will hire other people.

In fact, ten taels of silver is indeed a sky-high price for ordinary people. But soap is already a high-end product at this time, and no one knows how to make it.

Pancreatic soap, which is similar to soap, is not something that ordinary people can afford, and even families like Zuo Guoji are not qualified to use this luxury, let alone a soap that is more advanced than pancreatic soap?

In fact, this price can be increased further, but Lu Cheng hopes that the sales volume will be larger, so he lowers the price. Otherwise, it will only be reserved for the nobility and the rich land.

If it is ten taels of silver, many gentry in the city can afford it, so there is no need to worry that there will be too few people to buy.

To be honest, Lu Cheng's current life is not too bad, he doesn't have to worry about food or clothing, and there is no need to focus on studying and making money.

It's just that before that, he followed Shen Yi and others to the big restaurant for dinner, and then went to the Qinglou after corruption, so that Lu Cheng had a lot of knowledge. Don't look at yourself as famous now, but compared with Shen Yi and Zuo Guoji, he is indeed a poor teacher.

Not to mention anything else, just drinking flower wine in Wanhualou that night, the cost reached hundreds of taels. This is indeed a huge amount for a poor scholar like Lu Cheng.

You must know that the expenses of him and his mother for a month add up to only about four dollars of silver, which is about four or five hundred dollars. This is still when he spends more money "lavishly", so much will be used.

In fact, in terms of food and clothing, Lu Cheng is really not a very particular person. Most of the money he spent was to buy some of the four treasures of the study, that is, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which were used in teaching and practicing calligraphy.

In this era, it is really difficult for poor people to afford to read, and even if there are really those hard-working poor children, most of them can only be admitted to a show, and there are really not many people who can be promoted.

In each scientific examination, most of the people who can win the gold list are children of families, or scholars in gentry and landlord families. It can be said that there are very few ordinary people who can be admitted to the Jinshi family, and there are very few.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already started teaching and had a lot more money than before, how could he dare to spend so much money?

Looking at the Yayun brand soap, Zuo Guoji's hands were itching, and he reached out to touch it.

"Brother Zuo can't!" Lu Cheng hurriedly stopped his behavior.

"Why is that?" Zuo Guo Ji Nahan Road.

Lu Cheng wanted to tell him that the surface of this soap still contains high alkalinity and cannot be touched with his hands, but he doesn't know how to explain the word "alkaline".

He had tried before, and he talked to Shen Yi a lot, but he couldn't explain the matter clearly, and finally had no choice but to give up and warn the other party not to touch it with his hands when making it.

"Anyway, you can't touch it now, and you can start using it after you put it for more than a month." As Lu Cheng spoke, he put away the soap and took it to his study for storage.

In the following time, Lu Cheng discussed with the two of them about putting into production, as well as promoting sales.

According to Lu Cheng's plan, a quantity of 100 yuan was made in advance and put it in the shop for sale.

After all, he is a modern person, and if Lu Cheng wants to do business, of course, he has to think about how to advertise first, so that people in Kaifeng Mansion know that there are such good things in order to attract people to buy them.

However, the only thing he can think of now is to use places such as Qinlou Chu Pavilion to promote and publicize his soap. After all, in these years, few people can go to the land of Goolan to consume, and few people can't afford to use soap.

At this time, people have no concept of advertising, as long as they can give some benefits to the red girls in the Qinglou, and then borrow a good song for them to sing, these red girls are naturally willing to serve.

Lu Cheng didn't even plan to give out the money, just send the soap quickly.

Now that there's no facial cleanser, who of the girls doesn't like this?

Although soap is used for bathing, it is no problem to occasionally use it to wash your face, and you don't add any additives to it, so it can theoretically be used to wash your face.

People who can wash their faces are actually mostly made of plant ash. As for the Qinglou woman, she should use some traditional Chinese medicine formulas for beauty to wash her face, or pancreatic soap.

Lu Cheng felt that his soap was definitely better than pancreatic soap. As for the guests who bought soap, he didn't bother to bother to pay attention to whether they would take soap to wash their faces when they returned.

In his previous life, he had already tried to wash his face with soap, not to mention that it was still the Ming Dynasty at this time?

The soap you make yourself is also a luxury.

For such a promotion plan, Zuo Guoji and Shen Yi agreed, and asked him to write a poem on the spot.

How dare Lu Cheng agree?

What level do you have, you know best in your heart, it's okay to copy the first word, let me compose the lyrics myself? Pull it down!

Lu Cheng asked Zuo Guoji to go to Li Lian for help, make the first words about soap, and then go to the Qinglou to find someone to sing.

In terms of candidates, it's even simpler, just go directly to Jinyun for help.

As long as Jinyun sings this song for a few days, other brothels will definitely be willing to follow suit. When the time comes, it will be much easier to come to the door with this poem and ask the girls for help.

In this regard, Zuo Guoji was puzzled, and said in his heart that this Brother Lu is talented and has excellent poetry, why don't you make the first words yourself, and you have to fake others?

After thinking about it for a long time, he came to a conclusion - Lu Cheng is too modest!

(PS: Thank you for the tip!) Keep asking for referral votes!

Explain: Some readers said that the children of merchants can't take the imperial examination or anything, I don't know where I heard this from the statement. First of all, the Ming Dynasty did not have a "business registration", which was briefly mentioned earlier.

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You can directly arrest those businessmen who are not engaged in production and specialize in the end of the business!" ”

In other words, merchants are illegal, and it is impossible for the imperial court to give them any "business status". Therefore, when businessmen make money, they usually buy land and land, and their household registration is basically attached to the people's register, and the so-called businessmen are actually large landowners.

The Ming Dynasty only stipulated that prostitutes, elites, subordinates, pawns and their descendants were not allowed to enter the examination and donate to prison, and there was no saying that the children of merchants could not take the imperial examination. And Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu, Ma Ziqiang and other Jinshi were all from salt merchant families. The Jinshi who were born in the family of merchants were numerous in the Ming Dynasty. ）
