Chapter 141: Supply Exceeds Demand
A thousand small bars of soap were distributed in less than an hour.
Then, the name soap and its function spread like wings in the streets and alleys of Guide.
Soap, soap!
There is an old well at the westernmost end of Kosumi Shou Street.
It is said to have been left over from the Song Dynasty, surrounded by railings and a huge shade canopy.
The inhabitants of the western part of the city depend on the water from this well every day.
The well water is not only sweet and clear, but also has a characteristic: warm in winter and cool in summer.
It is suitable for cooking, drinking, and more suitable for washing clothes in winter.
Early in the morning, more than a dozen women came from all over with pots, just like the New Year.
It was too much trouble to fetch water, so they usually brought the clothes over to wash them when they did the laundry.
The province came to fetch water again and again.
"Sister Chunlan, so early?"
"Sister Hua, you're early, hey, Sister Hua, aren't you going to wash your clothes today?" Chunlan looked at Sister Hua strangely.
"Wash!"
Sister Hua smiled and said, "I'm carrying such a big basin, it's full of dirty clothes, why am I here if I don't wash my clothes?" ”
"Why didn't you bring your mallet?"
Sister Hua smiled again, put down her clothes a little mysteriously, groped out a piece of yellow soap from her arms, and whispered: "I don't need a mallet, I have soap." ”
"What? Soap? ”
"What's soap?"
Sister Hua was even more proud: "You don't know about soap, so do you know that we are returning to the little Zhuge of Defu?" ”
"Little Zhuge ah!" Chunlan put the basin on the ground, straightened up and said, "Of course I know, isn't it Mr. Su, it's Mr. Su who is pulling an iron ball in the Vulcan Table, I heard that he is omnipotent." ”
"yes!" Sister Hua put away the soap in her hand and said, "Mr. Su made this kind of soap, as long as you apply a little and rub it on your clothes, all the brain oil on it can be washed off, and you don't need to beat it with a big stick and mallet, and you don't need soap horn powder and pot bottom ash." ”
After speaking, he smiled mysteriously: "This is specially given to me by Mr. Su!" ”
"Yike...... Mr. Su specially sent it to you! Chunlan's eyes widened: "Did Mr. Su take a fancy to you, when did he marry you?" But he already has a serious lady in his family, or Miss Yu, you can only be a concubine if you go! ”
Sister Hua's little face was red, and her waist was twisted very charmingly.
"Fart......
A chubby woman next to her also came out with a basin, and when she saw Sister Hua, she scolded: "You, your man will have a spring when he dies, and he still wants to be a concubine for Mr. Su, why don't you pee and take care of yourself?" ”
After the woman finished speaking, she put the basin on the ground, and also groped for a piece of soap from her arms: "Mr. Su sent soap is not fake, yesterday I sent a thousand handfuls on Xiaoqi Street, where is it specially given to you, prodigal hooves!" ”
Sister Hua blushed and didn't dare to refute, this woman was none other than the aunt of the man she had died.
"Third aunt, do you have it too?"
Chunlan leaned over.
"Is that not it?"
"Is it really that amazing?" It was the first time Chunlan had seen this thing.
"You watch!"
The third aunt went over and fetched a bucket of water and put it in the basin, picked up a piece of swarthy clothes, and rubbed it vigorously with soap on the neckline a few times, and the white brain oil juice on it was removed, and the oil stain was removed by rinsing it with water.
Chunlan was stunned, and her mouth was speechless when she grew up.
"This ...... Is this a wash? ”
After many years of old oil, it can't be washed clean for half a day with a big stick mallet and ash at the bottom of the pot, and it is still exhausting to death, but this thing in the hands of the third aunt can be used casually, and it will be clean.
"yes, that's it!"
"Oh my God, this works better than soaphorn cream!"
Several women surrounded them, including the Chen family's maid Xingxing.
After reading the star, he decided to get a piece back and use it, and asked, "Where did Mr. Su send it?" Do you want to send it today? ”
"Not today!" The third aunt shook her head and looked at the soap in her hand that was thinner after using it once: "I will sell it from today, saying that it can be as big as ten like the one in my hand, fifty yuan a piece." ”
"So expensive?" Stars are shocked!
"It's not expensive!" Sister Hua next to her interjected again: "Mr. Su said that a piece can be used for more than half a year, not to mention the labor and effort, the clothes saved are enough." ”
"Okay, I'll buy two later!"
"I'll go too, let's go together."
"I'll talk to our young lady and go buy some too."
……
It's still on Xiaoqi Street!
Su Baiyi came again, this time bringing more people than yesterday, in addition to Hou Fangyu, there were five or six students.
These five or six students were all transferred from Chulun's measurement team, because there was only one set of measuring instruments, and many people couldn't get their hands on it, so Su Baiyi simply transferred them out to sell soap.
"Mr. Su is here, and he's here to sell soap!"
"Let's go, let's go, I'm going to buy a few more, keep two for my own use, and buy some for my father-in-law."
"I have a niece who married into Xiayi, and she is angry at home, so I bought her two yuan."
The student opened the car, revealing yellow soap inside the cloth bag.
Just like yesterday, the only thing that is different is the size.
"This piece weighs half a catty!"
Su Baiyi held up a large piece to show everyone: "It's enough for a family for half a year, fifty yuan a piece, whoever wants to buy it, just line up!" ”
Two more students went over to maintain order at the scene, and a long queue was discharged in an instant, stretching from the side of the street in front of Sun Kee Restaurant on Xiaoqi Street to Bao Erhei's blacksmith shop.
It is two or three hundred meters long.
Broken!
As soon as Su Baiyi looked at this team, he knew that there were fewer things produced.
Yesterday, Hou Fangyu bought all the remaining silver from the raw materials, and a total of 1,100 yuan was produced, and there were more than 1,000 people in line.
And there was a steady stream of people coming from behind.
"This is a hundred yuan, I'll buy two!" A little girl blushed and sent a hundred yuan to Su Baiyi.
Su Baiyi pointed at Hou Fangyu: "Give him the money, and he will collect the money!" ”
Hou Fangyu put away the money, took out two pieces of soap and handed them to the little girl.
"Next!"
"I want ten dollars!" A big man grinned and handed over the five strings of money in his hand.
Hou Fangyu ordered ten pieces of soap for him.
Then, the third buyer was a maid again, and she directly threw out a tael of silver: "I want twenty yuan!" ”
Hou Fangyu was very happy.
But the people behind stopped doing it, and shouted one by one: "You can't sell her so much, won't we line up in vain after buying?" ”
"That is, you are not allowed to buy so much?"
"Leave us some!"
Su Baiyi could only smile apologetically: "Folks, it doesn't matter if you can't buy it today, there will be it tomorrow, I hope you will come and line up earlier tomorrow, and I will make more tomorrow." ”
"Mr. Su, you won't raise the price, right?"
Some asked him worriedly.
In the past, whether it was a grain merchant or a medicinal herb merchant, they would always take advantage of the famine year to raise the price of grain. Su Baiyi's soap is selling so well now, according to the ideas of ordinary people, it must be going to increase in price!
Su Baiyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the things produced by our Yuyuan will only drop in price, and will definitely not increase in price, you can rest assured."
Oh...... If someone resells, it doesn't count as my price increase! ”
Rare things are expensive, and scalpers are everywhere!
No one can guarantee that there will be no scalpers who buy soap!
When the 1,100 pieces of soap were sold, they got sixty taels of silver and five strings of money.
Hou Fangyu took the money and followed Su Baiyi to the academy, jumping up and down excitedly.
It's not that he hasn't seen money, on the contrary, the Hou family has been a giant family for generations, and it is ranked in the top three in Guide Mansion, Hou Fangyu was born with a golden key since he was a child, and he has seen more gold and silver than ordinary people have ever seen.
But these sixty taels of silver mean something different to him, this is the first money he earned.
"It's fun to see you, okay, hurry back and arrange the later production tasks."
Su Baiyi touched Hou Fangyu's head, and he was also very happy in his heart.
……
Guide to the Defu, the Mu family!
The Mu family is located outside the north gate of the city, not as good as those giants in the city, but the Mu family is not to be underestimated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the richest man in Guide Mansion.
At this moment, Mu Yongjiang, the master of the Mu family, was sitting in the warm pavilion, half-lying on a wide chair, with his eyes closed but not asleep.
A chubby butler-like figure stood beside him, a terrifying scar on his face extending from the center of his eyebrows to the left corner of his mouth, and the whole person was full of anger.
"Master, today Su Baiyi and his students sold more than a thousand pieces of soap." The scarface butler put a large piece of soap in his hand on the small coffee table: "This is very bad for us." ”
Mu Yongjiang opened his eyes, sighed, and looked sad.
He didn't know the disadvantage!
In the past, ordinary people used to wash clothes with mallets, and the cloth was naturally easy to tear, so the speed of replacement was much faster. But now it's good, everyone rubs it with their hands.
This will take the year of the monkey to change clothes?
The cloth shop is the lifeblood of the Mu family, if it is delayed by Su Baiyi's soap, then his Mu family will not be far from decline.
After all, the Mu family is just rich and has no power!
"Or, let the brothers go over and give him a heads-up." Scarface's pupils shrank slightly: "Last time, Renxintang didn't let you do it, but this time it's different, let's also let him know that this is Guide Mansion, not what he Su Baiyi wants to do!" ”
"Don't be confused!" Mu Yongjiang got up from the chair after Heiqiu, and said slowly: "Su Baiyi is different from ordinary characters, and the one standing behind him is Zhou Shipu, which provokes him and has no good fruit." Besides, the kid who was with him was Hou Sui's precious son. ”
"What then?" Scarface said viciously: "You can't let him go on like this, once this soap completely enters the lives of the people, our Mu family will have no way to live." ”
"Let's talk to him first!" Mu Yongjiang walked to the stove and stretched out his hand to roast the fire: "Find a reliable brother to ask him out and talk to him, unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to break the net with him." ”
