"I heard that in ten days, "Yongxiangfang" will hold a laundry contest on the street in front of the county yamen, and every woman can go to participate, and each participating woman will wash a piece of clothing, and the fastest and cleanest person can get forty taels of silver. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" said a Xiucai at the wine table.

"Wow, forty taels, that's a lot of money, is this true, I'......ve been repairing for two years," a scribe-like man smacked his lips and said.

On the streets of the county seat, there is a great flow of people, and two farmers who carry the burden of selling vegetables are talking about the laundry contest while walking.

"Old Wangtou, "Yongxiang Zhai" is going to hold a laundry competition, your daughter washes clothes quickly, and cleanly, she usually helps people wash clothes at most two Wen wash one piece, you go home and ask her to try, if you win the forty taels of silver, your family can live a good life for a few years." The middle-aged farmer said with a smile.

Hearing this, the older farmer said with a smile. "What you're saying is to talk to her when I get back."

Ten days have come in a blink of an eye, thousands of women have gathered on the street in front of the county yamen, the women are rich and poor, the clothes they wear are good and bad, the poor women are here to participate in the laundry contest, and the rich women are to come to see the excitement, calling the mother and children, it is very lively.

In front of the women, a low platform was built out of wood, on which some hand-cranked fans and literati served as judges. Ten oil-stained white clothes lay on the ground.

The eight ingots of white silver on the table shimmered seductively in the sunlight.

"Oh... Oh oh ......" Boss Qian of "Yongxiang Zhai" walked up to the stage with a clear throat and looked at everyone. Seeing that the Lord was coming, everyone quickly quieted down.

Boss Qian bowed his hand to everyone, and then said: "The small shop has recently entered a new overseas commodity, this thing is called soap, very magical, in order to let everyone see its miraculous use, this laundry contest is specially held, there are willing to participate, you can go to the stage to see these dirty clothes, in order to decide whether to participate." After saying that, he stepped back and sat down to drink tea.

"I'll ...... I'll ......" A dozen women rushed forward, but when they picked up the clothes on the ground and looked at them, they were all discouraged. Because the clothes were so dirty, thick with oil and mud that they looked dirtier than a beggar's clothes.

"Boss Qian, aren't you fooling us, such dirty clothes can't be washed even if they are boiled in hot water." A middle-aged woman with a thin face and thin lips said dissatisfiedly.

"yes, how can you wash such dirty clothes?" The rest of the women chimed in.

Looking at everyone, Boss Qian smiled slyly, and then said loudly: "Bring five pieces of soap." ”

Hearing Boss Qian's shout, several guys from "Yongxiang Zhai" wore red ribbons, each took a palm-sized, square pale yellow item and walked onto the stage and stood neatly.

"Yo, what is Boss Qian doing?" Several scribes in the stands said to each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is soap, which is specially used to wash clothes, and it is fast and clean, and of course you can also wash your hair, and after washing your hair, there will be no clumps on your head. It's from overseas, and there is no semicolon except for a small shop. Boss Qian said with a smile.

"Boss Qian, are you telling the truth, this thing is really that magical?" Someone in the audience asked in disbelief.

Looking at everyone, Boss Qian smiled and said: "No matter how good it is, it's useless, everyone can come on stage to experience it, the dirtier the clothes, the better the effect." Whoever washes quickly and cleanly will be rewarded. ”

"I'll ...... I'm going to ...... "Women are the first to sign up......

In the end, the old farmer's daughter won the first prize of forty taels of silver, and the other two women won the second prize of twenty taels of silver each.

After the bonus was distributed, Boss Qian put on red and hung colors for them, which caused a sensation in the city.

"This soap is also damn amazing, I have seen it with my own eyes, soak such dirty clothes in hot water, rub it back and forth with soap a few times, and it will be clean when you rub it, and I will use soap to wash clothes at home in the future." A fat man in the restaurant said while drinking.

"Such a good thing, it must be expensive, I'd better wash it with soap." Said the man next to the fat man.

The fat man listened to the "plop", and the wine in his mouth squirted on the face of the man, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

got up and used a handkerchief to remove the wine on his face, and the fat man sat down again and said with a smile: "Your Liu Yusheng family is not without money, how do you smack your fingers on your buttocks, although soap is more expensive than soap, but it is easy to use, good goods are not cheap, when the time comes, we will all use soap, your family is still using soap, you are not laughed at." ”

"Yes, yes, you are a gift, you can't afford to use soap, this soap is only 300 yuan...... It's not enough for you to go to Widow Zhang's for half of the night's money......" Humpty Dumpty said obscenely.

"Okay, okay, listen to everyone, I'll go buy twenty quick soap tomorrow and come back." Liu Yusheng smacked his lips and said.

Since the laundry competition, the fame of soap has come out, every day there are three to five hundred people to buy soap in "Yongxiang Zhai", a buy is one or twenty yuan, with the sales are getting bigger and bigger, almost no one in the county uses soap to wash clothes.

Yang Rui's family sells soap horn and poria paste, and most of the shops selling soap horn and poria paste in Yongxin County are his family's industry, "Yongxiang Zhai", which sells soap, which naturally has an impact on his family's business.

At noon that day, Yang Rui deliberately went to the vicinity of "Yongxiangzhai" to observe.

The sky was blue, the sun hung like a fireball, and the clouds seemed to have been burned by the sun, and they disappeared without a trace.

The guests who came to "Yongxiang Zhai" to buy things came in waves, and when they left, everyone was holding a large bag in their hands, and the lively scene made Yang Rui both envious and jealous.

"****'s money is Wancai, Lao Tzu will clean you up sooner or later." He cursed under his breath and walked away hatefully.

After returning home, I came to the backyard to discuss with my father about dealing with "Yongxiang Zhai", but I saw my stepmother Shen Yufeng's maid Chunmei walking to the outer yard.

Chunmei is the daughter of a hired farmer, fifteen years old this year, ordinary in appearance, honest and obedient, specializing in serving Shen Yufeng

Glancing at her, Yang Rui asked, "What about my father?" ”

"Oh. The old man was taking a nap in the gazebo in the garden. Chunmei said with her head down.

Yang Degui is afraid of heat, in order to escape the heat, specially built a small pavilion in the lotus pond in the back garden, which lays a soft bed, and the pavilion is surrounded by blue yarn on all sides.

Hearing this, Yang Rui asked again, "What about Aunt Shen?" ”

"She's taking a shower in the shower room, and I'm going out to buy her a box of incense." Chunmei Road.

Hearing that his stepmother was taking a bath, thinking of her snow-white plump body that she peeked at, Yang Rui couldn't help but feel dry for a while.

With a grunt of his eyes, he said, "Chunmei, you go, choose carefully, don't rush back." ”

"Yes. Young master......" Chunmei agreed, blessed with a gift, and walked out of the backyard.

After Chunmei left, Yang Rui walked lightly into the backyard, looked around, and tiptoed to the window of the bathing room.

Yang Rui licked a small hole in the window paper with saliva, and put his eyes to look inside.

The water vapor in the bath room was misty, Shen Yufeng was naked, soaking in the bluestone paved bath deep in the calf, scrubbing the snow-white body, the green silk drifted away, and the petals on the water surface were gently turbulent.

After a while, with a "bang", Shen Yufeng stood up from the bath and took a white silk handkerchief to wipe his drenched body. The jet-black green silk was wet and scattered, and a team of plump and towering snow-white breasts on the chest trembled with the movements, snow-white thighs, white and greasy back, thin waist and fat white ass outlined a beautiful arc.

This sultry spring scene, Yang Rui drooled when he saw it.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a sound of "knock knock" footsteps from the direction of the garden pavilion. Knowing that it was his father who had returned to the house from a nap in the gazebo, Yang Rui left the backyard lightly.

Since the soap was made and the market was opened, in order to open up the grade, Zhao Guohua made some soap into soap, boiled the soap with water to make a thick night body, added spices, and turned it into shampoo in a delicate small porcelain bottle. As soon as the two things of soap and shampoo were launched, they caused everyone to rush to buy them.

"Looks like we'll have to find another account room." Looking at the crowded rush in the store, Qian Wancai smiled and muttered.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and it is time for Zhao Guohua's soap business to count the harvest.

After lunch that day, the old boy in Fengming Village "crackled." Dialing the abacus and settling the accounts, Zhao Guohua sat on the side drinking tea and waiting for the results.

Because he was not worried about the people outside taking care of the accounts, Zhao Guohua was unwilling to deal with numbers, and Wang Delu, the old boy in Fengming Village, happened to be planning to make a plate, so the old boy Wang Delu became the accountant of Zhao's Chemical Factory, and Sun Fu was also the cashier. Sun Fu is the son of Sun Laohan, and Wang Delu only has one daughter in the village, so he is not afraid that he will have other thoughts.

After a while, the sound of the abacus stopped, and the old boy said in surprise: "Zhao Gongzi, this month, we earned 10,000 taels of silver......

"Ahh 10,000 taels, so many ......" Sun Laohan, Ding Shun and Sun Fu in the house were all surprised and delighted when they heard it, wouldn't it be a month and a year...... The more everyone thought about it, the hotter their hearts became, and the eyes that looked at Zhao Guohua were even hotter.

In the Ming Dynasty, ten taels of silver could basically make a family of five well-fed and clothed for a year, and 10,000 taels of silver could allow 5,000 people to live a year's worth of food and clothing.

"10,000 a month, only 100,000 a year, it's still too little......" Zhao Guohua counted the account in his heart, and couldn't help but say it.

"Shhh ......" the people in the room took a cool breath. The heart said that this Zhao Gongzi deserved to come back from overseas, and earning 10,000 taels of silver this month was too little, which shows that people had a good life before.

"This ...... This one...... Zhao Gongzi ...... earned 10,000 taels of silver this month, and according to the old man, there are probably not many businesses and restaurants in the entire Ji'an Mansion...... Son's ability to make money, the old decay is admired. The old boy said respectfully.
