Chapter 13 Feminine Products
Xia Zhu was accustomed to Shu Yu's strange names and words, and only regarded it as a different civilization in a foreign country, seeing that the proprietress did not react, he hurriedly reminded the silent proprietress on the side:
"Shopkeeper, our young lady called you!"
The proprietress heard Xia Zhu's reminder, so she reacted and said: "Hehe, forgive me, I don't know if it was Miss who called me, I thought it was you who were talking, it was the first time I heard such an interesting name, I didn't react for a while, it was rude." The proprietress saluted Shu Yu and walked over.
"Hehe, doesn't Miss recognize what this thing is for?" The proprietress saw the long cloth in Shu Yu's hand, stared at Shu Yu's chest again, and teased.
"I just asked you if I didn't know, and why did I ask you if I knew!" Shu Yu was very curious about what the proprietress meant, and she didn't react for a while.
Xia Zhu also saw the thing in Shu Yu's hand, recognized the thing, and whispered to Shu Yu: "Sister Yu, you are holding a breast cloth in your hand, which is generally used by women after the ceremony, aren't you useful?" Xia Zhu also glanced at Shu Yu curiously, and kept looking at her body.
Shu Yu found Xia Zhu's strange behavior, raised his hand and played Xia Zhu's brain, and couldn't help but break a sentence:
"You little girl, where are you looking?"
Xia Zhu was suddenly flicked in the head, stuck out his tongue, and withdrew his obscene gaze, Shu Yu didn't really hit Xia Zhu, so Xia Zhu didn't feel pain.
This makes Shu Yu, who grew up abroad, very puzzled, why women should wrap their breasts after the ceremony, you know, breast wrapping has a great impact on women's development, many breast cancers are because women wear inappropriate underwear and lead to **deformation, resulting in cancer, that breast wrapping is the easiest to deform, the best way to find suitable underwear, or not to wear it is the best.
Shu Yu knew that it was useless to say these words to them now, so he didn't explain, but asked the proprietress instead: "How much does this cloth cost." ”
The proprietress took Shu Yu's wrapping, saw that the material was not of the highest quality, and said, "Eighty copper plates."
Shu Yu was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand how much the eighty copper plate was, and she didn't have that concept, she didn't know what the current price was, so she could only quietly ask Xia Zhu: "How much silver can be exchanged for eighty copper plates." ”
Although Shu Yu does not understand the current prices, but no matter which dynasty, which period, gold and silver are common currency, including in the 21st century, it is also a truth, although there is paper money as a circulating goods, but the bank still has to see how much gold is saved.
It's just that there is a shameless country M, relying on the strength of its own country, to exchange its country's issued currency for the same amount of gold and put it into circulation all over the world. And little by little, the gold of the world is being eaten away by them.
Last night, I knew that Shu Yu was not from the Song Kingdom, and Xia Zhu was also accustomed to what Shu Yu didn't understand, Xia Zhu explained:
"1000 copper plates are 1 tael, 3 taels can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and 10 taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold."
"Oh! That's equal to 3,000 copper plates to exchange for one tael of silver, and your current salary in the Shizifu is a few taels a month. Shu Yu continued to ask.
"Sister Yu, what is the salary." Xia Zhu scratched his head again in confusion,
"Oops! It is how many taels of silver the Prince Mansion will give you a month. ”
Shu Yu is also helpless, too many words are not compatible, and it is really a bit troublesome to communicate.
"The Shizifu gives a lot of money, we are D-level maids, we can get 60 copper plates, and the housekeeper is Class A, we can get 1,000 copper plates per month. Like the guards around the prince, he can get 1 tael of silver every month.
Xia Zhu understood what Shu Yu meant, and not only told him his salary, but also the salaries of other levels in the mansion.
"The difference is so big..... Shu Yu looked at Xia Zhu in shock, this Ding-level maid is actually more than ten times the salary difference between the housekeeper, which makes these maids how to live.
Shu Yu looked at Xia Zhu speechlessly, and asked, "That means that you can't even afford this little strip of cloth for a month's work?" ”
I thought that this world was really unfair, and these ordinary people were exploited by high-level people layer by layer, and they simply ate people without spitting out bones.
"Sister Yu, don't entertain Xia Zhu. This Ruyi Building, which one of us can afford to buy, don't look at this little cloth, it should be the cheapest item in Ruyi Building. Besides, Xia Zhu was sold into the Shizi Mansion, and there are still 60 copper plates to take, which is already very satisfying. Some girls with a hard life, if they are also sold to other big families, they haven't even seen copper plates! Xia Zhu seemed to be very satisfied with his fate, and said as a matter of course.
Seeing the two of them muttering for a while, the proprietress left herself aside, and asked with a smile, "Miss, do you need this thing?" ”
Shu Yu found that the proprietress was still on the side, and when she heard the proprietress ask, she suddenly looked embarrassed, not to mention that she didn't have a penny in her pocket now, and she didn't come to buy anything today, but just to investigate the market.
Shu Yu eased his expression, and said:
"I don't need this for the time being, I'm just curious, by the way, old ....... Shopkeeper, do you sell perfume here? ”
Shu Yu was just about to call the proprietress, but found that it was better to follow the local customs, so she changed her name to the shopkeeper.
"Perfume? What is perfume? What is the use of not hearing of it? ”
The proprietress has been in the store for so long, she has never heard of this term, and she doesn't know what perfume is, so she quickly asked.
"And how do you get the scent on you?" Shu Yu walked into the side of the proprietress and sniffed her nose, obviously smelling a floral scent, isn't it perfume?
The proprietress raised her sleeve and sniffed herself, and replied with a smile:
"This is naturally a floral fragrance, and every time I change clothes and bathe, I sprinkle some flower petals on the bathtub, and it naturally has a fragrance."
Shu Yu then remembered why Xia Zhu would sprinkle flower petals in her bathtub when she took a bath last night, it turned out to be this reason, and at that time she thought it was just the habit of their ancients! It turned out to be for the sake of fragrance.
Shu Yu asked a few more women's products, but didn't buy any of them, pulled Xia Zhu and left in a hurry, she probably had a bottom for prices and products, for people in this era, there are still many things they haven't used, and there are many bad habits, Shu Yu feels that this is a huge market, and now I have to find out, whether there are corresponding raw materials.
Thanks to Shu's Group used to operate women's products, so for raw materials, Shu Yu still has contact, knows the raw materials of many products, as long as the raw materials are found and processed into products, then there is absolutely no worry about sales, Shu Yu now wants to do the first thing is to manufacture sanitary napkins and toilet paper, these two products in this era, the decisive is the existence of explosive products.
The proprietress watched the strange two leave depressedly, Shu Yu and Xia Zhu walked around, asked around, and finally left without buying anything.
Out of Ruyi Building, Shu Yu was trying to ask Xia Zhu to take her to other places to see if there were any other raw materials or the like, and was talking, but unexpectedly, at the corner of the street, two big men suddenly came out.
Behind the two big men, there was also an old bustard in the Qinglou, who bought Lu Shuang'er's old bustard.
Shu Yu was suddenly stopped by two big men, and he froze for a moment, and then saw the old bustard behind him to know what was going on, Shu Yu hurriedly pulled Xia Zhu behind him and said, "Xia Zhu, you run quickly, go back and tell the prince to save me."
Xia Zhu didn't know why, he didn't realize Shu Yu's meaning, and when he saw two big men blocking the way, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, he protected himself behind Shu Yu and pulled it away, walked to the front and said to the two big men: "Who are you, get out of the way, you know that we are the ...... of the world" Xia Zhu just wanted to say that it was from the Shizi Mansion, but before he finished speaking, he was knocked out by a knife from one of the big men.
