Chapter 0045 Smell the Fragrance

It's not that Li Ruoshui is not smart enough, it's just that compared with Zhang Shuye, his social experience is somewhat insufficient, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty can't understand the laws of the economy so easily without decades of experience.

As a person who came over, Zhang Shuye also understood the door because of Qian Heng's reminder.

The truth is not unclear, this is the truth.

Zhang Shuye asked, "Qingqing, let me ask you, what do people value most when they buy those daily necessities?" ”

Li Ruoshui hurriedly responded, "Naturally, it is a high-quality and inexpensive item!" ”

"Yes, then let me ask you, what do they value most to those princes, nobles and scholars who are not short of money?"

Uncle Zhang stared at Li Ruoshui at night with a little smile in his eyes.

Although Li Ruoshui is not a prince or nobleman, he is not far away from the scholar, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's nothing more than that you have the heart of comparison that I have!" At least I know that several ministers of the dynasty were proud to be able to get the inscription of the official family! ”

Uncle Zhang laughed, "Yes, this is what Qingqing said, but you are only half right!" ”

When Uncle Zhang said this, he beckoned Qian Heng to pour a glass of fruit wine, and only after drinking it dry did he say, "You have me too, of course, it will make people feel that they can sit on an equal footing, but what if you have me or not?" ”

Hearing Zhang Shuye's words, Li Ruoshui's face changed slightly, thinking of his own money, if his wife and concubines had to use a piece of soap every month, it would be nearly ten yuan of expenses. Isn't that anything? But if it is left in the house of a prince and nobleman with many wives and concubines, or a group of female dependents, it is a huge expense.

Li Ruoshui is still very clear about the truth that scarcity is precious.

What's more, Li Ruoshui knows very well what the wind of comparison in Tokyo Bianliang is, so whether it is Li Ruoshui or Zhang Shuye, you can imagine how much movement this soap will cause you once it is sent to Tokyo Bianliang.

Because of this, Uncle Zhang said that he would also make a share in this soap business, where is there still a bit of the so-called literati.

Even if the literati of the Great Song Dynasty looked down on businessmen who did business, they still couldn't maintain a safe state of mind in the face of huge profits.

Qian Heng naturally will not refuse Uncle Zhang's stake in soap, which is a good thing, especially if Uncle Zhang can be involved in the future Xiangye, it will naturally be of great benefit to Qian Heng's business and future development.

What's more, Uncle Zhang has already taken a stake in the fruit wine business, and now that the soap business is spreading, he will be in the same boat at that time, at least he can protect this business from being snatched away by other bigwigs.

After finalizing many matters, Huang Shang waited for three more days before leaving Shouzhang County, taking several carts of soap to Bianliang, Tokyo.

Thinking about so many valuable goods, Uncle Zhang used his connections at night to arrange a team of people to escort Huang Sheng and his party.

Zhang Shuye heard that in order to support Zongze, Qian Heng not only purchased a large amount of alkaline soil in Dengzhou, but also sent a large number of sorghum seeds, so after Huang Sheng left, he also said goodbye to Qian Heng and rushed to Dengzhou, wanting to see what was going on.

After sending away the first batch of soap, Qian Heng began to get busy again.

In addition to the daily scientific research homework, Qian Heng also had to go to the pig farm to supervise the production of soap.

After the soap was produced, especially after Zhang Shuye's analysis, Qian Heng also realized that once this soap was launched in Bianliang, Tokyo, it would inevitably attract a rush, in order to prevent the supply from exceeding demand, Qian Heng immediately arranged to start mass production of soap.

The process of producing soap is not complicated, and the only thing that worries Qian Heng a little is the acquisition of spices.

In the fact that Huang Shang took away the batch of soap, most of the medicinal materials such as cloves and osmanthus in the major pharmacies in Shouzhang County had already been collected by Qian Heng.

Nowadays, when it comes to producing more finished soaps in large quantities, the acquisition of fragrances has become the biggest constraint.

In order to circumvent the restrictions of this spice material as much as possible, Qian Heng collected all the materials that could be used as soap and spices.

Lilacs and osmanthus at first, and roses, orchids, and irises that were later screened, can be used as spices.

Although irises are also common in the north, there is no place for special cultivation, and most of them are collected by herb pickers as medicinal materials, and the stock is not large.

Compared to irises, orchids and roses are cultivated on some scales.

Orchids are known for their gentleman's flowers, especially the Song people, and they are a symbol of noble and elegant gentlemen.

With the large demand of this literati, the large-scale cultivation of orchids is reasonable.

Especially in Qian Heng's opinion, if the soap with this orchid ingredient is pushed to the literati of the scholar clan, it is enough to make people rush to it.

Thinking of the look of surprise when Uncle Zhang saw the osmanthus scented soap, Qian Heng could imagine how popular it would be among the scholars once this soap with a faint orchid fragrance was launched.

One is to have a few pots of orchids at home to show gentlemanly spirit, and the other is to have a faint orchid fragrance on the body, and the gap between the two is obvious.

It can be said that this orchid-scented soap is a sharp weapon prepared for those scholars and literati.

Roses are one of the few choices for contemporary women to make sachets, especially in Dongping Province, where there are many flower gardens that specialize in planting roses for a living.

In addition to grinding dried flowers into powder and mixing them into soap, this rose can also be extracted from rose essential oil and used to make other cosmetics.

With Qian Heng's means in front of him, there is no way to refine rose essential oil. However, for the Da Song woman, even just a soap with the scent of roses is enough to leave a faint rose fragrance on the skin.

It is conceivable how crazy the temptation of slippery muscles will make those rich women crazy.

As soon as he thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Qian Heng's mouth, and even Lu Zimo, who was busy beside him, was a little curious.

"Brother Heng, what good thing did you think of?"

Only then did Qian Heng realize that he was thinking too much and was a little out of shape.

However, for Lu Zimo, there is nothing to hide, "I just thought of this rose and orchid-scented soap, if it is placed in Bianliang, Tokyo, how happy it will be!" ”

Lu Zimo smiled slightly, "Brother Heng, Zi Mo actually secretly used a little rose-scented soap, that kind of fragrance Zi Mo likes very much, I don't believe Brother Heng smells it." ”

Lu Zimo quietly approached Qian Heng, and Qian Heng involuntarily took a deep breath.

"It really smells good!"

The moment Qian Heng lowered his head to smell the incense, his eyes fell on Lu Zimo's neck as white as an onion.

The shallow collarbone, under the fair and tender skin, looks so slender, for a while, Qian Heng couldn't help but be stunned!
