Chapter 10: The First Pot of Gold

Liu Yan, Chen Xun, and Wang Yue came to the open space in the pier, only to see that Liu Dayu had already packed his luggage, and after seeing the three of them, he came over and said: "Qiyu Jiachang, my subordinates want to take leave and go back to Wangjiazhuang for a while." ”

At this time, Liu Yan had already heard Wang Yue talk about Liu Dayu's preparation for transfer, and now he naturally understood what Liu Dayu thought, so he pushed the boat down the river and approved the leave, Liu Dayu didn't say anything, glared at Wang Yue, and left Dapandun with his luggage.

When Liu Dayu packed up his things and left Dapandun, except for Liu Yan, Chen Xun, and Wang Yue, no one else came out to see him off.

Liu Yan immediately assigned the four dun troops under Liu Dayu to his command.

At the beginning of March, the big pan pier.

"Today is a day to remember!"

Liu Yan stood in the open space in the pier in a comfortable mood, Chen Xun was carrying the finished soap with his four dun soldiers, Chen Jiang and the other five dun army family members stood on the side with proud faces, and the rest of the dunjun family members around were surrounding a few people, chattering and asking questions, words and expressions were full of envy and compliment, so that Chen Jiang's family was very useful.

After a month of production and placement, the first batch of soap was produced, and a total of 1,200 pieces of soap were produced, all cut into small pieces of the same size, about the size of a palm.

Liu Yanpai sent people to buy some very good quality kraft paper and packaged these soaps, which not only made the soap look better, but also ensured that unnecessary loss occurred during the transportation of soap.

Wang Yue looked at the people in full swing, his heart was sour, making soap was already a well-known thing in Dapandun, except for Wang Yue's team, almost everyone else participated, which made Wang Yue feel that he was still treated by Liu Yan alone, and he felt very uncomfortable.

It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world, and Wang Yue never imagined that Liu Yan would become so capable one day, and the situation of this big plate would become what it is now.

Soon Chen Xun and the others finished loading, for the sake of insurance, Liu Yan asked several people to be fully armed, each of them took a spear, and Chen Xun even brought his own three-eyed gun.

Today is the first delivery, and it is also the first time to trade with Wang Weizhen, so Liu Yan is ready to follow Chen Xun and his party, and after the first transaction is successfully completed, both parties have the basis for cooperation, and Liu Yan can let Chen Xun deliver alone.

Two days ago, after Liu Yan sent someone to notify Wang Weizhen, the officer of the management team, he set the delivery time for today.

At this time, Liu Yan called Wang Yue to him, only to see Wang Yue smiling all over his face, and running over.

"I'll go with me this time, and you will take someone to stay behind."

"Yes, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely be optimistic about their family."

Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the four dun soldiers under his command to let a few people cooperate with Chen Jiang's people to collect hay and other materials to prepare the grass and wood ashes needed to make soap this month.

After all the deployments were completed, Liu Yan, Chen Xun and his entourage set off with an ox cart. The group arrived at Wangjiazhuang before noon, and after coming in, they went straight to the Baihu official hall.

When Wang Weizhen heard Jia Hongyu's report, he said in surprise: "What? Liu Yan brought that soap here! ”

Jia Hongyu said with a smile: "It's here, the master of the management team should go to the main hall to take a look, Liu Zongqi has already brought someone to bring the soap in, and he is waiting in the main hall." ”

"Haha."

Wang Weizhen said while changing his clothes: "It's been a month, I thought that Liu Yan had been deliberately delaying, but who would have thought that it was sent today." ”

After changing his clothes, Wang Weizhen greeted Jia Hongyu and said, "Let's go, let's go together to see what the final soap looks like." ”

A moment later, Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu came to the main hall, Liu Yan and Chen Xun stepped forward to salute, and the rest of the dun army also saluted.

"Hehe, get up, it's all your own people, you don't need so many courtesies."

Then Wang Weizhen's eyes were attracted by the ten wooden boxes, and asked, "Liu Zongqi, this is the soap you said?" ”

Liu Yan said: "Master Mingjian, this is soap. ”

As he spoke, Liu Yan opened the nearest wooden box, Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu both approached, only to see that there were many soaps neatly stacked in the box, all of which were wrapped in brown paper, as if they were bricks the size of their palms.

Jia Hongyu counted them, and saw that there were twelve pieces of soap in this wooden box, so he asked, "Liu Zongqi, how many pieces of soap are in this box?" ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Back to Brother Jia, there are twelve pieces of soap on the first floor of such a box, and there are ten layers in total. ”

"One hundred and twenty dollars in one box, and ten in that box is one thousand two hundred!"

Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu were taken aback, they didn't expect that the output of this soap was really a lot, Liu Yan smiled secretly in his heart: "This is still my capital is too small, I can't buy too much soybean oil and rosin, otherwise I will do my best to produce, let alone 1,200 pieces of soap a month, even if it is 12,000 yuan, it can still be produced!" ”

Jia Hongyu opened another box and looked at it, and sure enough, each box was a neat one hundred and twenty pieces of soap, and the packaging of each piece was very exquisite. When all the boxes were opened, the 1,200 bars of soap smelled of rosin, which was very good.

Wang Weizhen is also a person-like person, such a quantity, such a quality, if the soap is really as easy to use as Liu Yan described, then the value of ten boxes of soap is too great, and he can really make a lot of money from it!

So Wang Weizhen smiled and said to Liu Yan: "Well, it's very good, Liu Zongqi is really good." Is it just that this soap all works the same? ”

Although Wang Weizhen has already used soap, it is a semi-finished product, and he still hesitates a little when he sees these beautifully packaged finished products.

Liu Yan laughed, directly took out a piece of soap, and after unpacking the kraft paper, he looked around, and saw an oil stain on Wang Weizhen's cuffs, so he pointed to the oil stain and said, "Please order someone to get some water." ”

Wang Weizhen raised his left hand and smiled, and then ordered someone to fetch the water.

I saw that Liu Yan first wet the soap and the oil stains on the clothes with water, and then began to soap, and soon a layer of white fine powder appeared on the oil stains of the clothes.

The local soap made by Liu Yan is actually very rudimentary, and cannot be compared with the industrial soap of later generations, and naturally does not have the rich foam of the soap of later generations. At this time, there is only a thin layer of white fine powder to use, but the effect of dirt is not bad, the oil stain on Wang Weizhen's cuffs was gently rubbed by Liu Yan, and it quickly dissolved, and after a few clicks, it was as clean as ever.

"Ahh

Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu were taken aback when they saw this, the cleansing power of this soap was really outstanding, and it seemed to be better than the semi-finished soap before. If you use soap horn to clean it, the effect will never be so good.

"It's a good thing!"

Wang Weizhen didn't care about the wet cuffs, raised his hand and smelled it, a faint rosin fragrance still remained on the cuffs, which immediately made Wang Weizhen happy.

"Okay!"

Seeing this, Liu Yan also laughed, and at the same time rewrapped the used piece of soap and put it back in the box.

Joke, such a piece is priced at three dollars of silver, even if it has been tried, it must be counted on Wang Weizhen's head.

At this time, Wang Weizhen didn't care about this, took Liu Yan's hand and sat down, and said with a smile: "Okay, these soaps are really easy to use, and they will definitely be sold for a big price." ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then there is an adult of the labor management team, and the subordinates will rush back after receiving the money, and hurry up to prepare to make this month's soap." ”

"Haha, you, I said what are you good about!"

Wang Weizhen laughed and said, "Liu Zongqi, don't worry, there will be no mistakes in what we say is good." ”

Jia Hongyu on the side also said with a smile: "Mr. Liu doesn't know, the master of the management team has prepared the silver in advance, and he is waiting for Mr. Liu to deliver it." It's just that I didn't expect so much soap to be produced, so I prepared a little less. ”

Without waiting for Liu Yan to speak, Wang Weizhen beckoned Jia Hongyu and said: "In this way, Jia Zongqi calculated how much silver was needed for these soaps, and immediately went to prepare them, and made up all the silver that was missing." ”

"Yes."

Jia Hongyu was ordered to hurry to prepare the silver, and Liu Yan was indispensable for thanking him.

Wang Weizhen said with a smile: "Liu Zongqi, don't worry, I know that these soaps also cost money." Besides, it is our first time to trade, and the rules of money and goods must be kept, otherwise how will we do business in the future? ”

Hearing these words, Liu Yan's evaluation of Wang Weizhen also increased by a few points, although Wang Weizhen was also greedy, but he was a rule-abiding person, he would not do anything for the sake of silver, and he was an object that could be cooperated for a long time.

Here, Wang Weizhen sat with Liu Yan and Chen Xun for a while, and Jia Hongyu rushed back with people, and the two servants behind him carried a small wooden box.

"Just put it on the table."

The two servants put the small wooden box on the table, and Jia Hongyu opened it in front of Liu Yan, and inside was white flowers and silver.

"Liu Zongqi counted it, 1,200 pieces of soap, one piece is worth three coins of silver, a total of three hundred and sixty taels."

At this time, Liu Yan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, pretended to be casual and picked up two silver ingots and looked at them, this is the first pot of gold he earned, and it is the capital he started.

Chen Xun on the side did not have Liu Yan's concentration, and he was completely dumbfounded at this time. Chen Xun was already poor and afraid, and suddenly saw three hundred and sixty taels of snow-white silver, his two eyes were already straight, and the whole person was already stunned.

If Liu Yan hadn't noticed Chen Xun's appearance and secretly hit Chen Xun's left hand to wake him up, I don't know what gaffe Chen Xun would do.

"That's right, there's Brother Laojia."

"Haha, they're all brothers, what's polite."

Wang Weizhen said with a smile: "I'm happy today, Liu Zongqi and Chen Xiaoqi will stay for dinner, let's have a drink, how about it?" ”

Liu Yan naturally knew that Wang Weizhen was just polite, so he said with a smile: "The kindness of the master of the team is appreciated by his subordinates, and his subordinates should go back, the materials for making soap this month are still a lot worse, and the subordinates have to go back and supervise them." ”

"Oh? Don't know what you need to make this soap? ”

Wang Weizhen asked seemingly casually, Liu Yan naturally understood in his heart, so he said: "It's plant ash, a lot of plant ash, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, so it takes time." ”

Liu Yan picked up the ashes of the grass and trees and said it, as for the rest, Wang Weizhen didn't need to know.

"Oh."

Wang Weizhen said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will not be reluctant." Mr. Jia sent Mr. Liu and them for me. ”

"Yes."

Jia Hongyu led Liu Yan and the others out, and Chen Xun was holding a small wooden box containing silver alone, although it was very heavy, but it seemed to have inexhaustible strength, which made Liu Yan just funny.

When he arrived at the door of the Baihu official hall, Jia Hongyu said goodbye to Liu Yan, and suddenly Liu Yan remembered something, so he took five taels of silver from the small wooden box and handed it to Jia Hongyu.

"Hehe, this is a little bit of my brother's heart, Brother Jia will definitely accept it."

"Oh, how is this good, it's useless, my brother is too polite."

Liu Yan smiled and whispered: "Don't let Brother Jia take it for nothing, it's just that if there is something good in the future, Brother Jia should remember my brother." ”

Jia Hongyu comprehended, smiled and whispered: "Brother, don't worry, brother, I must remember that once there is something here in the Baihu Official Hall, I will notify my brother as soon as possible." ”
