Chapter 21: Setting up a stall
After eating, Xiaocao kept reminiscing about the taste of the fish balls just now, she felt that she had never eaten such a delicious thing, but looking at Jiang Huaiyu's usual appearance, Xiaocao's simple heart suddenly gave birth to a feeling of worship.
Madame is too powerful!
At this time, Xiaocao didn't know that her exclamation, which she was embarrassed to say in the bottom of her heart, would surface from time to time in the future, and the more she said it, the more calm she became.
Jiang Huaiyu didn't rush to wash the dishes and clean up this time, she could see that if she really did this, the little girl would die in a hurry.
"I'll go to the east wing after packing up, and put everything in order tonight." After Jiang Huaiyu finished speaking, he walked through the corridor and walked towards the east wing.
She customized a row of cabinets in the pharmacy, stood by the wall, and dismantled the medicinal materials concocted by the buyers in turn and poured them into the small lattice in the cabinet.
It didn't take long for Xiaocao to come to help, she was nimble and thoughtful, remembering to put a bag in it, and cut out the names of the medicinal herbs written on it and pasted them with paste, although she was illiterate, she didn't make any mistakes.
Looking at the much neat room, Jiang Huaiyu nodded with satisfaction: "Tomorrow, when the flowers are delivered, I can make some bath beans first, and then boil butter." ”
When I went out today, I was going to buy some cow's fat and come back to boil oil, butter is not better than lard, it has an unpleasant smell without deodorization and smelting, and it is easy to make stomach trouble when used to cook and eat.
Therefore, other parts of the cattle are expensive, and no one wants the cheap price in this place.
Jiang Huaiyu thought about it and was still ready to have bath beans to be comfortable after rubbing the bath, and then go to boil butter, so as not to get rid of the smell, although the sugar bag guy is not making trouble, but his aggrieved appearance Jiang Huaiyu looked funny and distressed.
Xiaocao was subconsciously surprised: "What are bath beans?" ”
But after asking, she regretted it again, Madame looked like a fairy-like figure, would make delicious fish balls with endless aftertaste, it was normal to say something she had not seen, and she asked everything, what if Madame didn't like her because of this.
She was worried there, but Jiang Huaiyu didn't think too much: "Bath beans, it is a good thing that can make your whole body, including your face, soft and tender, clean and fragrant!" ”
The thing was not made, and Jiang Huaiyu didn't plan to say too much.
Xiaocao nodded as if she didn't understand, although she still didn't know what bath beans were, but as long as she knew that Madame was very powerful.
After packing up the things in the east wing, Jiang Huaiyu asked her to rest by herself.
Early the next morning, the man from the pharmacy brought over two large bags of flowers and some resin, and he was rewarded with a few pennies, and immediately worked happily to help move things in.
At this time, Jiang Huaiyu can start doing what she wants to do.
She combined the powder made of several dried flowers such as peaches, plums, and red lotuses with several kinds of medicinal materials that had just been ground into powder, and there were also a little pearl powder, jade shavings and mung beans, and more than ten or twenty kinds of raw materials mixed together and grinded carefully.
The process of grinding and sifting was repeated over and over again, and finally the finished product was filled with a palm-sized porcelain jar.
"Xiaocao, give me the candy packet."
It was already afternoon when the finished product was made, but Jiang Huaiyu didn't feel hungry at all, and when he raised his eyes, he asked Xiaocao, who was holding a small picture book, to try the effect of bath beans.
Xiaocao nodded, handed over the sugar packet that had grown a lot to Jiang Huaiyu, and then followed Jiang Huaiyu's command to scoop a spoonful of bath beans with a small spoon, cover the porcelain jar and go to the well in the kitchen courtyard.
Jiang Huaiyu brought a bucket of water up and poured it into the basin.
Xiaocao looked at her suspiciously: "Madam, how do you use this?" ”
Jiang Huaiyu said with a smile: "You dip some water to wet this bath bean, and then apply the face and rub it lightly, don't rub it too hard, and you can wash it off with water in about half a cup of tea." ”
Xiaocao nodded, and did so, the cool well water slightly moistened the bath bean powder, and she just put it on her face and let out a surprised whisper, the smell was really sweet, I couldn't tell if it was a floral fragrance or what, even if Xiaocao thought it was a floral fragrance, she couldn't tell what a floral fragrance it was.
I just feel a strange smell.
She still remembered Jiang Huaiyu's instructions, gently rubbed every part of her face, and after about five minutes, Xiaocao picked up the water and carefully washed away the muddy bath beans on her face.
Then he looked up at Jiang Huaiyu.
Jiang Huaiyu suddenly smiled, although the grass looked white after washing it the day before yesterday, but when he looked closely, his face was actually a little black and yellow, but the difference was too big at that time and he didn't notice it for a while.
This time, after washing my face with bath beans, it turned out to be a degree whiter, and when I got close to smell it, I could smell an elegant aroma!
Jiang Huaiyu waved his hand: "Tomorrow, let's go to a stall in the west of the city to sell bath beans!" ”
Xiaocao sniffed the fragrance and nodded heavily!
Of course, setting up a stall is not something that can be done casually, Jiang Huaiyu still has to go to Yaxing to ask for a document approved by the government, so that he can set up a stall in a specific area.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, although Jiang Huaiyu worked overtime yesterday to get three porcelain jars of bath beans, and woke up in the morning with a sore body, he still insisted on getting up early and went to the dental store to get a paperwork.
Then there was a stall on the side of the street in the west of the city where the flow of people was quite large, and the shops on both sides were selling some clothes and jewelry.
Today, Jiang Huaiyu is wearing a relatively simple and simple dress, a crescent-white cloth dress and a long skirt embroidered with simple honeysuckle patterns, and there are stalls on both sides of the road at a distance, but it is not that there are no women coming out.
It's just that it is very rare for a person like Jiang Huaiyu to have a special temperament and sit there to be very eye-catching, and I don't know who I think is the young lady who came out to set up a stall.
In addition, she simply wrote the word bath beans on the board and briefly introduced its effects, and people passing by only saw three porcelain jars and a bunch of small porcelain jars, and a quarter of an hour passed, and no one cared about Jiang Huaiyu's stall.
Xiaocao held the sugar packet aside, Jiang Huaiyu thought carefully about how she could be a teacher today, but she didn't expect that a large part of the reason was that passers-by felt that they couldn't afford what she was selling, so they didn't even come forward to ask.
But she thought of other reasons, that is, the problem of publicity, passers-by did not know whether the things she was selling were fragrant or smelly, and whether they were eaten or used.
Jiang Huaiyu pondered for a moment, then let Xiaocao look at the stall, she walked to the small wonton stall at the intersection not far away, bought two bowls for two pennies and asked for some red-burning charcoal to come back.
The bowl containing the charcoal is placed under the other bowl, and then a spoonful of bath beans is scooped and sprinkled evenly in the bowl, and the temperature of the charcoal at the bottom rises, and the bath beans with all the raw materials fused together are immediately induced to produce a very rich aroma.
It's hard to say whether it's a gluttonous fragrance or a delightful fragrance.
The girls on the street were immediately attracted to attention, the fragrance was not so strong that the whole street could smell it, instead of inadvertently touching the nose, and was choosing a hairpin with her companions, the girls couldn't help but stop the sound of conversation, looking around for the source of the taste.
At this time, an extremely delicate and atmospheric sedan chair was carried by people, Jiang Huaiyu didn't pay attention to the plucking of the bath beans, until he heard a voice that seemed to be arrogant.
As soon as Jiang Huaiyu raised her eyes, the woman who walked towards the stall was dressed very simply, but if you looked closely, you could find that although the dress she was wearing was pixel colored, it was embroidered with gold silk of the same color, and the complicated and beautiful patterns could be faintly seen under the sunlight.
"How much does your incense powder sell?"
She opened her mouth to say this, and a maid hurried behind her, and her face was full of anxiety, as if she felt that this woman with a woman's sideburns should not condescend to ask the price in person.
Jiang Huaiyu shook his head and said, "I'm not incense powder, this small jar is eighty dollars a can." ”
"Oh? What is it if it's not incense? ”
Jiang Huaiyu noticed that the sight of this beautiful woman did not pay attention to herself until this moment, and she smiled: "This is the bath bean I made, which can be used to wash the face or hands to make the washed place white, tender and smooth, and it can also have an elegant and light fragrance." ”
He Linglong was a little surprised, she had seen this kind of thing before, but it was a fruit from a small country with an unknown name, and many bubbles could be made by peeling off the shell and scrubbing the seeds inside.
Some people have also tried to wash their faces, and then their faces are extremely dry and so they have spots, and after that, only people have used them to wash their clothes, and the effect is good.
But that thing doesn't have any special taste, unlike this thing called bath beans, the aroma is so special.
It's okay, but it's eighty yuan, and it's not bad to buy it back as an incense burn, she remembered the two incense sticks commonly used in the house, and the smell was dull after smelling for a long time.
He Linglong picked up a can, and the maid behind her had long been accustomed to her love of buying things on the streets, and took out two silver beads from a purse pinned to her waist and said: "One here is worth fifty Wen, if you don't believe it, you can find a shop for people to weigh it." ”
It seems that it is really a big family, and even the odd expenses have to be done so exquisitely.
Jiang Huaiyu took the two silver beads, and said with a humble or arrogant expression: "The two of you go slowly, if you use it well, you can buy it again next time." ”
He Linglong's hands were smoother than the porcelain jar, she ignored the rough touch of the porcelain jar, and lifted the lid when she sat back in the sedan chair.
She suddenly asked softly, "Ruyi, why did this palace look at the young woman just now with a little familiarity." ”
The voice of the maid outside the sedan chair was crisp: "Maybe it's the princess, you've seen it before, that woman is very good-looking, and it's not strange for you to be familiar." ”
He Linglong just mentioned it casually, but when she heard the words, she no longer cared, and looked at the bath beans in the porcelain jar.
On Jiang Huaiyu's side, there were gradually many girls and women coming around, and when someone was the first to eat crabs, they couldn't help but come over, wanting to see how this thing was, and some people actually bought it.
After answering everyone's gossiping questions, Jiang Huaiyu had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything.
Eighty yuan is not a price that anyone can easily spend, so as soon as Jiang Huaiyu mentioned the price of bath beans, he persuaded some people to quit, and the rest walked away again in doubt.
There were only six people standing in front of the stall, and they glanced at Jiang Huaiyu, who was snowy-skinned, and the other party's skin seemed to be transparent under the sun, as tender as a shelled egg.
In a sense, it can be regarded as advertising on itself, and then look at the grass with the child on its back, thin and thin, and it looks really white.
The women couldn't escape a love of beauty from beginning to end, they silently comforted themselves, anyway, this person left her household registration information in Yaxingding, if it really doesn't work, how can you find someone.
After some comfort, they all paid for a can each.
Jiang Huaiyu didn't expect that the sales on the first day could be so good, after all, this thing has never appeared in Shangjing, in the entire Great Cloud Country, only some similar but extremely ineffective appearances.
She was ready to fight for a long time, and even thought about how to promote it, but she sold seven cans at once.
It is calculated that it is five dollars of silver, although it is necessary to remove the cost of labor, but it is also a good start!
