560 Soap
Looking at the exquisite wooden box in Viona's hand, the young master swallowed his saliva, which seemed to be, but he couldn't wipe his face.
At this time, it was time for the attendant next to him to stand up.
"Yo? What are you? If it's generally tattered, our young master won't be able to look at it! ”
Viona, the red-haired girl, smiled slightly.
"I'm a good thing! It's called soap! ”
As she spoke, the girl opened the box, and suddenly an indescribable scent of flowers wafted out.
The young master, who was still holding the shelf, saw the beautiful carved soap in this box at this time, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's... What is soap used for? ”
Viona smiled slightly: "This can be used to wash clothes, wash hands, take a bath..."
As she spoke, Viona waved her hand, and immediately a small servant next to her brought a basin.
There was a dirty rag next to the basin, and Viona threw it into the water.
When the rag was soaked, I picked up the soap and rubbed it on the rag continuously.
Then a surprising scene happened, the originally black rag was quickly washed.
Even from afar, you can smell the originally dirty rag, exuding a fragrance.
At this time, even if this young master usually doesn't do laundry himself, his eyes widened at this moment.
That's amazing, isn't it?
If the clothes you wear in the future have the fragrance of this soap, then ......
He came to the basin in three steps and two steps, not caring that the water was dirty.
Reaching out, he took the soap, rubbed it in his hand, and washed it in water.
After taking it out, I put it under my nose and smelled it: "Well, sure enough, my hands have become fragrant!" ”
He looked at the bar of soap that Viona was holding, and his eyes lit up.
"Do you sell this thing? How much is a piece? ”
"What are the specifications?"
Viona was already smiling.
"This son, don't worry, we can divide this kind of soap into many kinds!"
"For example, this is a high-end soap, which is called Skincare, which is used for nobles to wash their faces, hands, hair and baths."
"And there are a lot of different scents, such as roses, locust flowers, vanilla..."
"This common soap is specially used to wash clothes, there is no fragrance, it can only be used for laundry, to remove dirt..."
Viona smiled and introduced the boy.
And the transactions that happened here all fell into the eyes of Yang Yinuan who was behind.
Yes, yes, the market! Isn't that how it was developed step by step?
Since he came to this world, he has also found that cleanliness and hygiene are definitely a big problem in this world.
Especially for their Qianshan City, which itself is rich in cattle and sheep.
Therefore, the diet of the local people is also based on meat, supplemented by grains.
Even the diet of the entire Beijing area is about the same.
But this brings a problem, that is, if you eat too much meat, people's hands are easy to get all kinds of oil.
The locals, on the other hand, didn't have any good hygiene habits before, and they didn't care much if they had oil on their hands.
Often, just touch it casually on the body and it's done, but as a result, a piece of clothing often doesn't last long, and it becomes oily and twisted.
When the locals wash their clothes, most of them use soap horn or rice water, which are natural substances to wash them.
It's a pity that the effect of these things to remove the stain can be said to be very bad.
So he came up with soap, and fortunately he took the soap, which was very difficult and very easy to make.
After he went back to check some information, he came back and opened a soap factory with the cooperation of Yang Yuanqing.
It's very simple to make, take some fat, put it in a large pot and boil, and mix animal fat and vegetable fat together.
These things, they have never lacked in Thousand Mountain City.
After it is cooked to a liquid state, a mixture of soaking liquid and alcohol of plant ash is dripping into the liquid grease according to a certain proportion.
Then stir well and finally place there.
After cooling, there will be a yellow sediment that settles at the bottom of the container.
Speaking of these yellow sediments to take out, this is the most basic soap.
This thing's ability to take out the oil stain is pretty impressive.
Then use this kind of thing as the base material, melt it, add various flavors, pigments, and press it into the mold, then you can make a variety of high-end soaps with beautiful taste and beautiful shape.
And these soaps and soaps are a batch of special commodities that he specially prepared when he came to Yanyun Sixteen Cities this time.
It's a very low-cost thing, so he's prepared a lot of different versions.
For example, the base plate soap without deep processing, which is aimed at ordinary people.
And those with flavor and pigment are specially prepared for those who are rich.
And this Viona's first recommendation obviously attracted the young master's attention.
In the end, the young master directly bought a whole box of soap.
For this reason, he left a full ten taels of gold!
By the afternoon of that day, most of the ten truckloads of goods they had brought had been sold.
Flour and thirsty foods, novelty foods, are the most popular commodities.
After all, these things are used by everyone for daily eating and drinking, although they are a little expensive, but ordinary people can accept them.
Most of those woolen ready-to-wear suits were also sold.
It's not that ordinary people don't like it, but everyone really can't afford it, and a set of this kind of clothes costs a few silver dollars, and the money converted into the cost of the land costs a few taels of silver.
Ordinary people feel that it is not a big deal to endure and wear their own linen clothes.
However, the cart of woolen fabrics and woolen yarn they brought with them was very popular.
After all, the price of this thing is not high, and some local fabric firms have come to purchase a lot.
Ordinary people also bought a lot, those ready-to-wear clothes are so expensive, they can't afford them, but this woolen fabric can still be afforded.
It's the same when you buy it and find a clever tailor to make it yourself.
Buying a piece of fabric is enough to make a set for a family, and the price is only about the same as that set of ready-to-wear clothes.
As for the wool, you can buy it back and knit your own sweater, which is also very convenient.
Both of these prices are not expensive, so a truckload of goods is sold out just after noon.
As for those ready-to-wear garments, although they didn't sell out, they sold well.
In the morning, hundreds of sets were sold, and these alone earned them hundreds of taels of silver.
There was also another cart of leather boots, belts, and saddles.
Once launched, it was also very popular and received enthusiastic pursuit from the local people.
