Chapter 272: The Soap Business

An Suiyu buried his head deep in Wang Huaqiang's chest, his face was full of happiness, his spring-like jade fingers caressed Wang Huaqiang's chest, blowing like an orchid, and said softly: "It's full, I haven't seen you for more than four months, can't you leave these business matters and official affairs to think about it at another time?" The spring night is short. ”

Wang Huaqiang's body gradually became hotter, he gently stroked An Suiyu's silk underwear, the tentacles were smooth, and a fragrant fragrance entered his nose, which came from An Suiyu's hair that had been scattered, it was a burst of rose fragrance, refreshing, intoxicating, and Wang Huaqiang's hand also began to unconsciously touch An Suiyu's back with this strange fragrance, and An Suiyu seemed to enjoy this feeling, his face was flushed with red red tide, and his mouth began to murmur involuntarily.

In the midst of the lightning, Wang Huaqiang suddenly thought of something, grabbed An Suiyu's shoulders tightly, and asked urgently: "Ayu, why are you so fragrant?" ”

An Suiyu's face turned red with shame all of a sudden, and she said angrily: "You are a big man, how can you be embarrassed to ask such a question." It's really shameless. ”

Wang Huaqiang hurriedly asked: "Ayu, this matter is very important, it is related to our business, let's talk about it quickly." ”

An Suiyu suddenly lost her mood, gently broke away from Wang Huaqiang's hand, pouted, and said: "This silk dress is smoked with spices, naturally it has always been very fragrant, and it is full, when were you bored enough to ask about these daughters' families?" ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "No, I'm not asking about clothes, but about your hair, why is your hair also fragrant?" Is your hair also scented with fragrance? ”

An Suiyu smiled slightly: "It's not." This hair is something I have to take care of every day when I take a shower. Wash it at least three times. With those rose-scented soaps. ”

Wang Huaqiang came back to his senses suddenly, and secretly scolded himself for being too negligent before, sitting back and watching an excellent business opportunity float past him, he smiled: "Yes, we can make money by producing soap in large quantities, Ayu, if I remember correctly, the soap in Daxing City is now." It seems that it costs two or three hundred dollars to buy a piece. ”

An Suiyu nodded: "Yes, a piece of soap mixed with floral fragrance costs two hundred and forty yuan, and one stone of rice is only more than a hundred yuan, which is enough for an adult to eat for a year." This soap is not something that ordinary people can afford, and when it comes to this, it is too extravagant for you to let the servants and slaves in this mountain village bathe with soap every day? ”

Wang Huaqiang happily paced back and forth, rubbing his hands constantly. smiled and said: "Ayu, why do you think about this soap for so expensive?" ”

An Suiyu hooked the corners of her mouth. said: "Because when making this pancreas, you need to use the pancreas of a pig, and the pancreas of a pig can't make two pieces of soap. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled "hehe": "Here in our Central Plains, unlike the prairie, you can raise so many livestock, you are used to eating meat every day on the grassland, but you can rarely eat it when you come to the Central Plains, even in the family of a rich person like us, it is impossible to eat beef often, because you know that according to the law of our dynasty, it is a very serious crime to slaughter and eat cattle privately, and you will be beaten and imprisoned." ”

An Suiyu smiled: "Yes, I was not used to it when I first came to the Central Plains, it was really difficult to swallow without meat, but fortunately I could still eat mutton, even then it took almost a year to get used to it." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "That's it, in your grassland, killing cattle and sheep is a common thing, and things like pancreas, often you also throw them away directly, and you won't eat them, but we lack a lot of this pancreas that can be used to make soap here in the Central Plains, we can buy a large number of pancreas from cattle and sheep in the grassland, and then make them into soap, so that they can be sold in large quantities." ”

An Suiyu's eyes widened: "Cow pancreas can also be used to make soap?" ”

Wang Huaqiang had been a worker in a factory specializing in the production of washing chemicals before the crossing, and he still knew a little about the working principle of this soap, and knew that the foaming and decontamination ability of soap mainly relied on enzymes, and in the case that there was no biological and chemical technology in ancient times, some people could think of mixing pig pancreas and fat together, adding alkaline carob powder, to make this kind of soap, which is already a genius idea, but there is no large-scale animal husbandry in the mainland, and even pigs are very few, so the soap made of pig pancreas as the main raw material, naturally it can be sold at a sky-high price.

But there are a lot of livestock in the Turkic steppe, and even small tribes with only a few thousand tents kill at least dozens of cattle every day, and the pancreas that can be used to make soap are thrown away as garbage.

Whether it is the grassland or the Central Plains, the smell of incense is the nature of people, the health and bathing conditions of this era are far less than that of later generations, even if you are the emperor, you may not be able to take a bath every day, even the grassland flowers like An Suiyu, when you just followed yourself, you also had a smell of mutton eating too much, and then it was a diligent bath and I don't know where I learned some aromatherapy and other methods, so I made myself fragrant, in this way, if the soap mixed with pollen and spices is sold in large quantities in the Central Plains or Turkic, That's going to make a lot of money.

Wang Huaqiang's eyes unconsciously began to glow with green light, An Suiyu saw him like this, and knew that he had thought of a way to make money again, and shook his head with a smile: "Xingman, as long as you think of making money, you can let go of everything, but let me remind you, if you want to collect cattle pancreas, you have to send someone to stay in the Turks, can the court promise you?" Also, if you make soap in the Turks, then soon this skill will also be learned, and the Turks are not stupid, they will only stupidly watch you make money and not learn it. ”

Wang Huaqiang was reminded by An Suiyu like this, nodded, and said: "Ayu, you have a point, I listen to you, when the time comes to make soap, pay attention not to let the Turks learn it." ”

Now a piece of soap can be sold for more than 200 yuan in Daxing because a soap is hard to find, but if it is really sold for tens of thousands of pieces of land every month, then soon a piece of soap in Daxing City will be worthless. This thing is equivalent to the luxury brand of later generations, sometimes it is not about how much the thing itself is worth, but it can open up the grade gap between people through high prices, so that rich people feel more noble and noble.

Just like the wine he is selling now, the large-scale trafficking in the past two years has reduced the price of wine in Daxing City from more than 100 yuan per barrel to more than 30 yuan per barrel now.

Wang Huaqiang suddenly felt that this business should not be too urgent, not such a large-scale traffic as wine, otherwise once the street is all over the street, it will also depreciate sharply, the method of wine storage and transportation, now many people have learned, and they are also engaged in this transportation, maybe now their most profitable business can only last for four or five years, so they must find a new economic growth point.

Wang Huaqiang sighed and said: "Wine is only afraid that it won't be able to make a lot of money for a long time, and now your method of transporting wine, several wineries have learned it, and it will take about two or three years, these merchants will sell the wine of the Western Regions to the entire Central Plains and Jiangnan, Ayu, do you have any way to deal with it?" ”

As soon as An Suiyu heard this, she frowned: "I'm also worried about this." When we first started this business four years ago, we could sell a barrel of wine for five yuan in Gaochang for forty yuan in Liangzhou and one hundred and twenty yuan in Daxing.

But now even the best wine can only be sold for less than forty yuan in Daxing, which is still the price of summer, and it will only be cheaper in winter, considering the cost of transporting this wine all the way, if it drops to less than twenty yuan, we will have nothing to earn.
