Chapter 40: King Fu Yan will laugh too
"The girl is asking these pancreatic soaps?" The merchant brought a piece of brown and gray pancreatic soap and said, "There are big and small, big fifty wen, small thirty wen." ”
Hua Qingxue was slightly stunned, she never thought that pancreatic soap would be so expensive, and a small piece would cost thirty yuan.
The merchant saw the surprise in her expression, and said with a smile: "If the girl wants, I can sell it cheaper, and reduce it to five yuan, but it can't be lower, this thing will not be cheap when it is received." ”
Hua Qingxue nodded clearly, took a piece of pancreatic soap in her hand and looked at it carefully.
In this era, there was no soap laundry detergent, and ordinary people mainly used alkaline soil, honey locust, and pancreas.
Pancreas is a kind of cleaning product mixed with pig pancreas and plant ash, because the pancreas contains lipase and protease, it is very similar to the modern enzyme laundry detergent, which can be regarded as the ancient enzyme low-foam multi-functional detergent, which is relatively high-end.
Wealthy people will also use those pancreatic soaps mixed with osmanthus and roses, which are fragrant and very fashionable.
"I have some pancreatic soap at home, better than this, can you take it?" Hua Qingxue asked.
The merchant looked embarrassed, "That's not a coincidence, the pancreas collected this time are enough, girl, you also know, this pancreas is not as easy to sell as those snacks, ordinary people don't use this thing, or buy a piece for several months, I collect these pieces, I don't know when it will be sold out." ”
If you think the snack tastes good, you will buy it every three days, but soap, no matter how good it is, you can't buy it every day.
Hua Qingxue understood this reason, she originally asked casually, and she was not disappointed when she was rejected, and smiled and put the rest of the dorayaki on the merchant.
The dorayaki was sold out, the crispy egg rolls and popcorn were quickly sold out, and there was still a lot of tea left.
Hua Qingxue sighed, it seems that it is very unrealistic to want to open a drink shop in ancient times, which is closely related to the consumption concept of the times.
The business of dorayaki, crispy egg rolls, and popcorn can't be done for a long time, because there is not much butter left, and the border between Daqi and Daliao is not stable, and there will be conflicts from time to time......
Alas, she was going to have to think of something else again.
Hua Qingxue took the stall home and checked the butter.
At the beginning, there were only two pieces of butter like bricks, but now there is only a small piece left, in fact, this also shows that her snack business is too good, otherwise, the butter would not be consumed so quickly.
Hua Qingxue tried to make a pot of popcorn without butter.
Only white sugar is added, and the sweet and crunchy ones are also delicious, but they are less mellow and rich, and a little bland.
Sure enough, it still doesn't work without butter......
Forget it, just keep it for yourself.
Hua Qingxue returned to her room, and there were all kinds of large and small porcelain bowls in the corner of the room, and inside were the soaps that had been made in Renqiu before.
After leaving it for so long, these handmade soaps are almost cooked, and they can be cut-
She took the knife and cut the soap into a uniform size.
A total of more than 30 pieces were cut, and there were still a lot of leftovers, which could not be wasted and could be given away as gifts.
But it's a bit too casual to sell it directly, Hua Qingxue decided to go to the street tomorrow to buy some materials and pack it a little by herself.
The next day, Hua Qingxue went shopping.
She first went to the same grocery store where she had bought butter last time to try her luck, but it turned out to be just as she had judged before, because of the tense situation on the border, it had been a long time since she had bought goods from herders.
Hua Qingxue was a little disappointed, but she could only accept the reality. She bought a knife of plain white grass leaf paper in the grocery store, and bought pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and prepared to go back.
As a result, I was surprised to find several stalls selling popcorn on the way.
Popcorn is easy to make, as long as you eat it a few times and find that there is unexploded corn in the popcorn, it is easy to guess the method, and it is only a matter of time before someone learns it.
Hua Qingxue bought a small packet and tasted it - well, only white sugar was added, no butter, and the fragrance was a big difference.
Also, she can't buy butter, and no one else probably can't buy it, or they don't even know how to add butter.
Hua Qingxue walked around for a while and found that there were also dorayaki for sale, but the crispy egg rolls didn't find it, presumably they didn't have a relationship with custom frying pans?
Business is not easy to do, after all, the food she is making now is relatively simple, whether it is the recipe or the method, it is easy to be guessed.
But it's complicated to eat......
Well, she has a recipe for a tiramisu cake? Hehe, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!
- And she is really not a good woman, she has tried this simplest dim sum many times, and only after she is proficient does she dare to sell it......
Hua Qingxue can only pin her hopes on the pile of handmade soap now.
……
After the Lantern Festival, it is the market day of Panshui City, which lasts for seven days, and is the most lively time in Panshui City after the New Year.
For this day, Hua Qingxue got up before dawn and went to work in the kitchen.
Aunt He also got up earlier than usual, and the two met in the kitchen, both laughed, and then went about their work.
Aunt He still makes all kinds of steamed buns.
There are many people rushing to the market, not only people from nearby villages will rush to the city, but also many traders, these people are too busy to eat, and they are generally willing to buy some steamed buns to satisfy their hunger.
Hua Qingxue first boiled tea, then used the little remaining butter to make popcorn, crispy egg rolls, and dorayaki, and finally took her soaps and pulled the cart out the door.
I used to go out to set up a stall and always borrowed Aunt He's board car, and after a long time, she also felt that she was strange and cheeky, and now this board car is still newly made by her carpenter.
A wooden pole is added on the left and right sides of the new board car, which can be erected or put away.
Aunt Cao is not here today, and Aunt Cao dragged her family back to her parents' house during the Chinese New Year, and she will come back next month.
Hua Qingxue used Aunt Cao's stall and started trading in a good way.
As the sun rises, there are more and more people on the streets. This is the first time Hua Qingxue has participated in the market, and it feels very fresh, and the flow of people is particularly large! That's more than 10 times the usual amount!
The most important thing is that these people are here to buy something!
Usually, even if there are people on the street, they may not necessarily buy things, but the purpose of the people who rush to the market is very simple, all of them: buy, buy, buy!
Hua Qingxue experienced receiving money for the first time!
The food on her stall sold quickly, and even the tea, which is rarely talked about, sold dozens of bowls of tea!
There were also a lot of people watching her soap.
Hua Qingxue's soap is much more beautiful in appearance than the pancreas that everyone is used to seeing now.
The milky yellow color is smooth and smooth, without a trace of debris, and it is squarely placed on grass leaf paper, just like pastries.
Because Hua Qingxue's other things are food, many people use soap as a snack, and after Hua Qingxue explained, everyone was surprised and asked for the price.
Hua Qingxue actually has no business acumen, and she is also confused about pricing, as can be seen from her selling popcorn and dorayaki, the butter is almost gone, and she has never thought about raising the price, let alone selling recipes to restaurants.
This time selling soap, she thought that the pancreas in the merchant's place was thirty wen, so she also said thirty wen.
After all, it is something that has never been seen before, although it looks good, but I don't know how to use it, and the price is not cheap, ordinary people are naturally not willing to spend money on it.
Hua Qingxue didn't pay attention to it, took out the leftovers that she had cut out before, and gave them as gifts to those guests who asked for soap.
"If you think it's easy to use, let's buy it again." She said with a soft smile.
Hua Qingxue is gentle, it is easy for people to have a good impression, and an aunt who often comes to patronize her trusts her very much, and after taking the gift, she paid for a piece of soap.
When the sun was about to set, the food and tea on Hua Qingxue's stall had been sold out.
Only one piece of soap was sold, and all the offcuts were gone......
Aunt He couldn't help but shake her head and sigh when she looked at her, "You are too solid-eyed, you give it away so much, they get it with a giveaway, who will come to buy it." ”
Originally, pancreatic soap was the kind that was bought once and used for a long time.
Hua Qingxue smiled indifferently, "I'll think of a way again." ”
……
Fu Tingye committed lovesickness in the barracks.
Holding Hua Qingxue's comb in his hand, he rubbed it slowly, thinking: What is that woman doing now......
The two of them have been separated for almost half a month, why haven't they had any news?
…… She is so shy, even if she wants to express something to herself, she will probably have scruples......
Fu Tingye remembered her shy and delicate appearance in his arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
That's it, he's a man, is it possible that he still has to worry about these things with his own women? She's embarrassed, so he'll take the initiative.
Fu Tingye pondered for a moment, walked to the table, and wrote a letter.
"Someone!"
The soldiers outside the door opened the curtain and came in, clasping their fists and saluting.
"Get this letter out now." Fu Tingye handed him the letter.
"Yes!"
The soldier took the letter and was ordered to retreat.
It just so happened that Qin Lao Wu came in aggressively-
He was about to speak, but he saw Fu Tingye in front of him laughing!
Laugh?!
King Fu Yan will laugh too?
Isn't he dazzled!
Qin Lao Wu was even more surprised when he saw Fu Tingye holding a women's comb in his hand! looked at Fu Tingye dumbfounded, and forgot what he was doing for a while!
Fu Tingye glanced at Qin Lao Wu standing in the camp tent in a daze, frowned unhappily, and while putting the wooden comb into his arms, he reprimanded: "People who march and fight, how can they be in a trance? What does it look like! ”
Qin Lao Wu: I'll go! Are you sure you're talking about me?! Who the hell is in a trance, hey!
Fu Tingye said in a deep voice: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Qin Lao Wu came back to his senses, straightened his expression, and said solemnly: "There is a group of Liao soldiers wandering around here five miles away, and we suspect that it is the forward spies of the Liao people. ”
Fu Tingye's eyes showed disdain and disgust, and he coldly ordered: "Take five hundred hussars to kill them." ”
