Soap is indeed very popular, once Duke Eberlock was worried about what to do if no one bought it, after all, there are always some stinky men in this world who don't take a shower for months, and don't wash fleas in their hair and beard, let alone wash their clothes, and you don't expect him to buy soap when you meet this kind of person.
However, it turns out that this kind of person does exist, but after all, it is a very small minority, after all, no one likes to contact sloppy guys, and a normal person is more or less clean, unless it is too unsociable, otherwise basically everyone will pay attention to the appearance.
As a result, the barefoot merchants sold it for a few moments in the villages of Alwyn, and it attracted the attention of the nobles, and the noble ladies and ladies who were very clean by nature were very interested in this thing, and although the soap was a little rougher, and the fragrance was not the kind that the public liked, they still bought a lot of it, and used it for washing clothes, and bathing it, and some of them thought it was fresh, and even bathed several times a day, and this attracted a large number of followers.
Commoners will always be influenced by the nobility, this is a kind of yearning for the spring and snow of the lower riba people, the popular things of the nobles will always be regarded as a fashion, so many people know the name of the soap, but unfortunately this batch of soap is too little, just about a thousand pieces, most of them were bought by the nobles, and there are not a few pieces that have been passed on to the commoners, and as more and more nobles also know about it, they all want to buy it and see, and it is said that the soap in Stormwind City has been copied to the extent of a silver piece in just a few days.
"Want to get the exclusive franchise?haha, as far as I know, didn't you all wear the same pants before?" The merciless mockery caused the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce to be very embarrassed.
They also all know what Zhang Li meant, yes, they have always united to lower the price and eat Duke Eberlock to death.
"Ahem, this lord, you can't say that. The bald old man said, "You know the situation here, there are spiders and wolves everywhere along the way, and there are ogres and Defia robbers, and we have to take a lot of risks to do business here, but there is nothing else here but food, so we can't come here in fear, and in the end we only earn two hard-earned money, don't you say?"
Then another person said: "That's right, and if we hadn't taken the risk of transporting all kinds of supplies, the people of the dukedom would not even be able to continue their normal lives......"
Zhang Li: "Yes, you are a great hero, you have pushed the price of grain so low, causing many free people to go away from home without this price, and the dukedom is becoming more and more dilapidated, this credit is really not small." ”
"How can you blame us! It's all those ogres and Defiah......
"Okay!" Zhang Li waved his hand indifferently and said, "Let's not talk about these haves or not, let's talk about soap." ”
At the mention of soap, everyone cheered up.
"Before I get into that, I'd like to ask about the sale of soap in Alwyn Forest, how many families can accept soap as a substitute for honey locusts and animal ashes, and whether they can accept the current price, and how much do you think the soap can be sold each month when this turmoil settles down?"
The representatives of the Chamber of Commerce looked at each other, and then the old man Martin replied: "To be honest, we don't know if the common people can accept this price, and we haven't personally seen the situation there, but we have suddenly received a letter from the master's family, asking us to try to seize the monopoly of soap. ”
“......”
"According to the old man, soap is very popular with the noble ladies, who often attend some banquets, and their clothes are often stained with wine and stains, and their clothes are very expensive, and if they are not clean, they can only be thrown away, which is a pity, and the second ......" The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said: " Secondly, the main reason why it is popular, according to the messenger, is because there is a young lady who washed her face with soap, and found that the blackhead on her face was actually gone, this discovery made her extremely excited, and the result was not half a day, and the entire Miss and Mrs. of Stormwind City knew about it, but the blackhead disappeared This situation will only last for dozens of minutes, and the blackhead will grow after dozens of minutes, so they began to wash their faces frequently, and they can use up a piece in almost a day......"
"Yes. At this time, another representative of the Chamber of Commerce also spoke: "Our young lady is too, but in addition to washing her face, she also likes to use soap to bathe, and the fragrance of flowers in the soap can last for a long time, and she likes this fragrance very much." ”
"......" Zhang Li's expression quickly turned into a confused expression, and then suddenly shouted: "That thing must not wash its face!"
Soap is strongly alkaline, and it is nothing to clean the body, but the delicate skin of the face, if you wash it too many times, it will hurt the skin!
"The kind of soap we distribute is a rough product for the common people, it is specially used for laundry, if you use that kind of thing to wash your face, at least your skin is sensitive, and at worst you are at risk of disfigurement!"
As soon as Zhang Li's words came out, everyone present was shocked.
"And it doesn't really do anything to blackheads. "Blackheads are too big to say that the pores are too big, and all kinds of dirt are piled up in them, although it looks like the blackheads are temporarily disappeared when washed with soap, but Zhang Li estimates that it is just the reason why the pores are stimulated and temporarily closed, and the dirt on the surface of the face is washed off, and then the pores are closed, and the result looks white and clean, and when the pores are opened again, the dirty things inside will still appear.
"This ......" The representatives were all a little stunned, because most of the bosses behind these chambers of commerce were nobles, and their young ladies and wives were also using soap, so they couldn't sit still one by one, but fortunately, Zhang Li's next words comforted them.
Zhang Li continued: "But nothing will happen in the short term. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it was okay to be okay for a short time.
Zhang Li continued: "In the future, we will distribute a high-end product specifically for the aristocracy, which I call soap, which is specially used to wash hair and body, but it is still not allowed to wash the face frequently. ”
After all, it seems that the biggest consumers of soap are aristocratic women, and according to the feedback they get, the two main reasons why those women will buy soap are because they can remove blackheads, and the second is the aroma, but the aroma is really not worth mentioning.
"But I can offer a great way to get rid of blackheads and pimples. ”
"What is it?!" Zhang Li's words can be described as a turning point, and those representatives of the Chamber of Commerce who had originally developed a contemptuous attitude were once again aroused.
"I can't tell you yet, I want to sell it, so let's talk about it today, and you go back and write to the ladies and tell them not to wash their faces with soap anymore, and then you will come here again in three days, and then I will show you some good things. ”
Zhang Li smiled mysteriously, and no longer cared about these curious businessmen, he left here directly, and after opening the door, he also found that the duke was actually eavesdropping, they smiled awkwardly at each other, and then Zhang Li left.
The first thing he did after he left was to go straight to the blacksmith shop, where he was going to build something.
This exchange also made him understand one thing, regardless of whether the soap could be sold or not, he now had other ideas, because he remembered a very popular saying in the Celestial Empire.
Women's money, it is better to earn......
