Chapter 081 Selling Soap
Yuqing didn't care much, but taught He and others that women should not pin their happiness on men.
Men are reliable, sows will go up trees.
He listened to her strange remarks, and he was angry and funny.
"Tell me, how can a woman live without a man?"
Yu Qing retorted: "Did you jump into the fire pit in order to get married?" ”
He Shi Zhengse said: "This one is not good, let's pick the next one, how can I push your eldest sister into the fire pit?" ”
Seeing that He had misunderstood, Yu Qing explained: "I didn't mean that my mother would push the eldest sister into the fire pit. ”
What she means is that you can't marry for the sake of getting married, you should marry for the sake of happiness.
Yu Qing continued: "The flowering period of girls is very short, I am afraid that the eldest sister has the wrong flowering period and can't find a good family, so will the mother marry the eldest sister too?" If this is the case, will the eldest sister be happy? ”
When He heard this, he was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "It's just that our family is in the middle of the road, Ruojiang is old...... Your father is alive, or your eldest sister has a promising brother, so that even people like Mrs. Li's nephew and daughter-in-law can't look down on your eldest sister~"
Yu Qing knew what He meant, if she was a genuine little Langjun, she would be able to study and test her fame.
If she wins the fame, her sisters will be worth a lot, and at that time, it will not be others who pick her sisters, but her sisters who will pick others.
But the problem is, she is a little lady, how to test her fame, if the court knows that she is dressed as a man, it is a crime of defrauding the king.
She will be beheaded, but I am afraid that the end of He Shi and the others will not be much better.
So even if she wants to take the fame test, it's too risky, not to mention that she doesn't like to read, let her take the fame test, she would rather eat live broadcast.
"Mother! What nonsense are you talking about? Yu Chun said dissatisfied.
Yuqing's gender is not unclear, and she doesn't blame her for being unproductive.
But Yu Yuchun didn't know, thinking that He was complaining that Shiro was not promising, so he was upset for her.
He Shi smiled: "I didn't say that you should let your brother go to the merit test." ”
Yu Qing spread her hands and said: "I have been pretending to be a woman since I was a child, and I haven't read much, and now I am afraid it will be too late to read."
You can't count on me for the test of fame, but I can still make a fortune.
Our family is rich, I can prepare a rich dowry for a few sisters, and with a plane tree, I am afraid that I will not be able to attract a golden phoenix? ”
The sisters she said were blushing and moved.
After seeing each other, Mrs. Li still hasn't replied, but Mrs. Zhang, who hasn't seen each other, has the attitude of the Fu family.
However, it was not Mrs. Zhang who came to tell Yuqing's family in person, but sent a servant to pass the word, saying that Mrs. Fu felt that it was wrong for the two families to be inappropriate, and she did not want to marry this family.
The lady of the head bookkeeper of the country who was only from the seventh grade actually felt that the two families were not right, and He was so angry that his chest hurt.
Yuqing is also uncomfortable, but people have the right to be unwilling, what can she do to others?
Instead of sulking, it is better to bury your head in making two more pieces of soap and earn more silver, so that you can earn more dowry for your sisters, so that it is possible for them to marry into good families.
Yu Qing turned her anger into motivation, made a hundred pieces of soap with Han Shan, and the master and servant went to send it to the "red makeup" rouge shop together.
Because it was the second time to make soap, I had more experience, and with the addition of red plum petals to it, the soap became soap.
And there are a few red plum petals floating in the translucent soap, which looks very good.
So this time, Yuqing raised the price, one or two or five dollars a piece.
The shopkeeper naturally bargained with her, saying that even if she raised the price, the increase could not be so big, and she was too unkind, so she was only willing to buy it for one or two or three dollars.
The two were at a stalemate when a middle-aged man in a brocade cotton robe walked in.
He first glanced at Yu Qing in amazement, and then asked the shopkeeper arrogantly: "Has the soap I bought from you a few years ago arrived?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Yuqing and warned her not to speak.
Then he nodded and said to the middle-aged man: "Second Master Hu, you also know that those soaps are imported from the West, how can you say that there are goods in stock, but you didn't run in vain this time, you came with a little goods." ”
As he spoke, he showed him a few samples of red plum soap that Yuqing showed him: "The soap I brought back from the West this time is even better than the last time, so I can't sell it to you at the last price, this kind of soap costs at least three taels or two yuan a piece." ”
Hu Erye picked up a piece of red plum soap, looked left and right, and sniffed it again, and the plum fragrance was fragrant.
There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes, but he straightened his face and said to the shopkeeper: "You dare to ask me for three taels of silver?" Just three by two! ”
The shopkeeper pretended to be a question: "Second Master Hu, you are too ruthless, how can you tell me to make money?" ”
Hu Erye squinted at him: "You just say whether you sell it or not." ”
"You have opened Chrysostom, do you dare not sell it?" The shopkeeper's expression was very good, both helpless and unwilling.
Anyone who saw it thought that he didn't make any money with this soap, otherwise it wouldn't be this expression.
Yu Qing thought to herself, if this guy wears it to modern times, he will be a proper actor.
Hu Erye asked the shopkeeper how many pieces of soap there were.
The shopkeeper stretched out a finger: "A hundred yuan, can you eat them all?" ”
Hu Erye said unhappily: "Don't you underestimate our Guogong Mansion, of course you can eat it!" ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and the profit of one hundred and fifty taels of silver was in hand.
"But I only have these few samples in my hand, and I'll send you a hundred pieces of soap to the house when I go back, what do you think?"
Hu Erye pointed to the samples of soap: "It must be exactly the same as the samples I saw, otherwise I won't let you eat and walk around!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly promised: "There is a piece of difference, you smashed my store!" ”
Hu Erye left majestically and high-spirited.
The shopkeeper saw that Yuqing had witnessed what price his soap was selling, and she had been interested in not interjecting on the side.
Therefore, without waiting for Yuqing to speak, he promised to be willing to buy her soap at the price she offered.
While counting the basket full of soap handed over by Hanshan, he said to Yuqing: "You have produced soap again, or send it directly to me." ”
Yu Qing said lightly: "I can't promise you this." ”
The implication is that he feels that he is not kind, and he can sell it at such a high price, but he has to suppress her price.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You see that I have to pay rent for such a big store, I have to hire a man, the cost is large, I will definitely reduce the price if you raise the price, isn't the business all done in bargaining?" ”
Yu Qing said: "Such a good soap is not easy to make, and pig pancreas is not easy to find, you press my price, how can you tell me to be willing to sell you?" ,”
She was telling the truth, it takes a hundred pig pancreas to make a hundred pieces of soap.
Last time, because it was almost the New Year, I could buy one or two pig pancreas at one time.
After the year, this pig pancreas will not be easy to buy, in order to make up a hundred pig pancreas, Hanshan's legs are about to break.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "If I buy pig pancreas for you, and your soap is only sold to me, do you think it's okay?" ”
Afraid that Yuqing would not agree, he added: "It's easy to say in terms of price, I won't let you suffer." ”
If so, what's not to do.
