Chapter 4: Caught in the Pit (Part I)

"You can rest assured, only rush to buy it, don't worry about no one to buy it, tomorrow you go back to the king's mansion, and find your steward to sell him the soap, but you can't say that you made it yourself."

If you know a trustworthy merchant who can also sell to them, we sell to them, not retail. Zheng Chen smiled lightly.

"Little brother, are you sure you can really do it?" Zheng Xu still couldn't believe it.

"Trust me, if it doesn't work, we'll find another way." Zheng Chen said confidently.

Seeing that his little brother was so confident, Zheng Xu was also infected, and he only agreed to give it a try, but thinking that he was kicked out, the housekeeper explained that he would not let him go to the palace again, and listening to the housekeeper's tone, the eldest brother might also be dismissed after he came back.

"Little brother, I know one of the merchants, as for whether I can stop going to the palace, I have already been dismissed......" Zheng Xu said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, since we've been fired, then we don't want to cheap them, and by the way, let the eldest brother quit his job too, it's a big deal, let's spend some money." Zheng Chen knew that these two cheap brothers had signed a long-term contract with the palace.

The royal government can dismiss them unconditionally, and they must pay a certain amount of money if they want to quit the job.

"Let's wait until we make money, the eldest brother has been in the palace for eight years, and he also has a certain feeling, plus the work at hand is not something that can be released, let's talk about it after a while." Zheng Xu has no confidence in the price that Zheng Chen said, if he can't sell it at that time, he will still have to reduce the price, and he won't be able to turn around much, and it is so easy to make this soap, he doesn't need so many people, and there is no need to let his eldest brother quit his job.

"Okay, rest early, I'll go with you to that merchant tomorrow." Zheng Chen also saw that he had no confidence in himself, and he didn't say anything more, and proved it with practical actions tomorrow.

The next morning, when he got up and had breakfast, Zheng Xu took Zheng Chen to a rouge shop in the town, and the shopkeeper recognized Zheng Xu, but his attitude was not so good, and he was even more disdainful when he heard Zheng Xu say that he wanted to cooperate with them.

Zheng Chen had no choice but to take out the soap and hand it to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, look at our things, they are definitely worth the money, you can use them to wash your hands, wash your clothes, and take a bath, if you don't believe it, you can try it first." ”

"We sell rouge gouache here, not soap horn, you want to sell it to the grocery store, don't bother me here."

The shopkeeper didn't look down on the two Zheng Chen brothers at all, if it weren't for the fact that Zheng Xu was the king's foreign minister, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to it.

Seeing that Zheng Xu still wanted to beg the shopkeeper, Zheng Chen immediately pulled him out of the store.

"Little brother, why are you pulling me out, I may agree to ask Lu again, I don't know any other merchants except for Lu's shopkeeper." After Zheng Xu finished speaking, he wanted to go in and beg the shopkeeper Lu.

Zheng Chen pulled him back again: "Second brother, we don't have to ask for help, when he regrets it, he doesn't want it to be his loss." ”

"But if we go to a stall and sell something so expensive that no one wants, let's beg him again." Zheng Xu felt that Zheng Chen was a scholar and refused to ask for help, but he was different, and it was not the first time that he had a low status and begged for someone.

"Second brother, you can believe me once, I will definitely be able to sell the soap." Zheng Chen said with a straight face.

"Well, I'll believe you once." Zheng Xu had already planned in his heart, and he would let Zheng Chen go back first, and then he would go to ask the shopkeeper Lu again.

Just as Zheng Chen and Zheng Xu were about to leave, a maid walked past them and entered the Lu family's rouge shop, Zheng Chen had a plan and stopped and did not leave.

Zheng Xu walked a few meters away only to find that Zheng Chen didn't follow, and when he looked back, he found Zheng Chen standing in place, thinking that he was for the sake of face, and wanted to wait for himself to leave before going in to beg the shopkeeper Lu, he shook it and walked back, he felt that it was better to do this kind of thing by himself.

When he walked to Zheng Chen's side, Zheng Chen just stopped a maid in the Lin Mansion, she should have come to get rouge gouache, and heard Zheng Xu talking to her.

I saw Zheng Chen say to the maid: "Little sister, wait, I have a good thing for you." ”

"What a good thing, I'm from the Lin Mansion, if you want to lie to me, it's best to inquire about the relationship between the Lin Mansion and the county master." The girl said arrogantly.

"Don't say that you are from the Lin Mansion, I don't dare to lie to you for the sake of you being so beautiful."

This maid is average-looking, not pretty, Zheng Chen comforted himself: For the sake of money, just endure it.

"You say I'm pretty?" Xiao Yun's face turned red all of a sudden, it was the first time someone said this, and the eyes that looked at Zheng Chen were different.

I was still thinking in my heart: this person is quite handsome, but judging by his dress, he should be from a poor family, and he must not agree to her pursuit.

"Of course I'm talking about you, this is my ancestral secret recipe to research the soap, which can be used to take a bath, after bathing, it is not only refreshing, but also has its own fragrance. It can also be used to wash clothes, and the washed clothes will be like new and will also have a little fragrance. In order to prevent this maid from pestering herself, Zheng Chen directly took out the soap and introduced it to her.

"How much?" Xiaoyun's face was slightly red, and he felt that he wanted to pursue himself, although he didn't like it, he should also be given a chance.

"You don't need money, this piece is for you, and you will definitely be appreciated if you take it back to your wife or young lady." Zheng Chen believes that as long as these rich people use it, they will let people buy it.

"No, I don't think it's easy for you, so you have to give some more." Xiaoyun is now 100% sure that Zheng Chen is pursuing her, but she doesn't want to live a hard life with Zheng Chen.

"I really don't need it, you take it back, you think it's easy to use, and I'll give you money next time."

"Well, if it's true, I'll come to you next time." Xiaoyun didn't insist anymore, and he didn't bring any money when he came out to help the dominatrix get rouge gouache.

"I'll come back in three days, and we'll be waiting for you at the gates."

After the agreed time, Xiaoyun left, and Zheng Xu also walked over: "Little brother, why don't you take money?" Wouldn't it be a loss to give it to her directly? What if she doesn't come in three days? ”

"Second brother, don't worry, as long as her wife or young lady uses it, she will definitely come to us, let's go shopping again." Zheng Chen didn't bother to explain, this kind of sales method that the ancients didn't understand, especially this honest second brother who explained to him, he wouldn't understand.

"Are we going back to get the goods and set up a stall now?" When he came out before, he only brought a few pieces, but now that the cooperation cannot be negotiated, Zheng Xu is ready to set up a stall to sell, but only two or three pieces of stall is obviously not suitable.

"No, let's go shopping first." As soon as Zheng Chen finished speaking, he saw a person, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over......
