Chapter 256: Maintenance (first update)
“How can there be so many bubbles?”
“No, I couldn’t make so much foam using soap locust before.”
On weekdays, their family uses either plant ash or soap locust to wash clothes.
Of course expensive clothes are made with spices, which are made from spices. After washing the clothes, the clothes will have a faint fragrance.
However, Xiangjizi is very expensive, and I’m reluctant to use it even after buying it.
The two old ladies looked at it carefully and were full of doubts in their hearts.
Jiang Zhiluo simply scrubbed, then poured water, and then scooped up clean water to wash.
After washing it about twice, the clothes are now clean.
Jiang Zhiluo took it out and showed it to the two old ladies and said, "Madam, take a look, the clothes are clean."
The two old ladies were shocked.
They brought their own clothes, and they couldn’t tell how dirty they were.
The clothes that Miss Jiang washed in front of them were definitely not fake.
It can only mean one thing, that is, the soap she got really works.
“Is this really clean?”
“I remember that there were a lot of oil stains on my sleeves, and they were also dirty. Hey... they will really be gone now!”
The two old ladies checked the clothes to make sure they were really clean and the oil stains had been washed away. They were amazed inwardly.
The old lady said: "Ms. Jiang, your soap is really easy to use. Isn't it expensive?"
A piece of fragrant soap costs several taels of silver. Using fragrant soap is a symbol of the rich. I don’t know how expensive such a useful soap is.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "A piece of soap costs fifty cents!"
Jiang Zhiluo had thought about it before. The price of soap should not be set too high, but it would also be uneconomical if the price was too low.
Because this thing is scarce, washing clothes is very clean, and everyone will understand after using it.
And this is a unique secret recipe, others don’t know how to make it.
So as long as you take it out, you don’t have to worry about other substitutes.
In the eyes of everyone, fifty cents is a very cost-effective thing.
“For fifty cents, this piece of soap can last for several months. If you wash a lot of clothes every day, it can also last for a month.”
Old ladies naturally don’t need to wash a lot of clothes every day. They just wash their own clothes when they are dirty. One piece can be used for several months.
When the old ladies heard this, their eyes lit up.
“Fifty cents a piece?”
They couldn’t believe it.
This soap looks good, it is green and has a light fragrance.
The soap produced by G. philodendron comes in white, red and green colors.
The green one is added with mugwort juice, the red one is added with flower juice, and the white one is added with citric acid juice.
But the price is the same.
They are all easy to use.
Some people like it with a smell, and some people don’t like it. It depends on what kind of food you buy.
And when she wrapped it in oil paper, she also marked it.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Yeah, fifty cents a piece."
"These things are all shipped from the capital. We don't have much in hand. Once they are sold out this time, they will be gone."
“There is chaos outside now, the cost of shipping goods is high, and we don’t know when we will have such a batch of goods on hand again.”
Upon hearing this, the old lady hurriedly bought two pieces each.
They thought that two bars of soap would last at least half a year.
It is enough for the time being.
Comparing soap with Xiangjizi, they think soap is not expensive.
The most important thing is to wash your clothes cleanly. There is no need to throw away clothes that are made of good fabrics and can be washed cleanly.
Otherwise, it would cost dozens of taels of silver to make a set of clothes, and it would be a pity to just throw them away.
In comparison, fifty cents for a piece of soap is really cheap.
Such a practical thing naturally cannot be compared with the price of food.
Jiang Zhiluo sold four of them at once and made two hundred cash, which made her feel very happy.
It feels like selling soap is much easier than selling bread and chili con carne.
Soap can be stored for a long time and can be made when you have time.
And a piece of soap is enough to make about ten loaves of bread, and a lot of chili con carne.
If the soap business goes well, she plans to sell soap in the future.
Selling something like this on a small scale should not cause a sensation.
Besides, it’s chaotic outside now, so no one can care enough to pay attention to this kind of thing.
The first thing everyone thinks about right now is to save their lives.
Hearing the commotion outside, someone also opened the door bolt and came to the street to take a look.
“Sister Lin, what’s going on?”
An old lady came out and asked.
The old lady who bought soap smiled and said: "I bought two soaps for washing clothes. They are very useful."
The old lady came over curiously and asked, "Is it useful?"
Jiang Zhiluo didn't need to explain anything, the two old ladies helped explain what happened.
And showed the old lady the washed clothes.
The old lady certainly didn’t suspect anything.
“Then I’ll buy two pieces too, and I’ll go back and get the money.”
The old lady went back to the house and took a hundred coins and handed it to Jiang Zhiluo and bought two bars of soap.
Jiang Zhiluo is very happy that no one comes out of this alley for the time being.
She and Cui Qingci drove the bullock cart around in the surrounding alleys.
While spinning around, he shouted, "Soap is on sale. It's cheap and easy to use. You can try it for free to wash your clothes..."
Jiang Zhiluo's voice is relatively loud, and when she shouts, people in the surrounding houses can hear her.
Lately, because we are afraid that someone will cause trouble and fight outside, and the weather is hot, everyone stays at home when they have nothing to do.
As soon as someone shouted, many people opened the door out of curiosity and came out to take a look.
It’s true that everyone is so exhausted staying at home every day. Even if they don’t buy anything, they still want to come out and watch the excitement.
So soon, some people who were idle at home came out.
“Soap, what kind of soap is it? Is it the same as soap?”
"It's not very expensive. Although our family is in good condition, we don't use soap. Just use soap locust. It's cheap and can be cleaned by scrubbing it a few times."
“But is the soap she’s talking about the same as soap? What kind of thing is it?”
“Oh, isn’t this Mrs. Jiang? We are all familiar with her. The things she sells should be pretty good.”
“Let’s go over and ask.”
Suddenly, more and more people gathered around their bullock cart.
Some women were holding embroidered fans in their hands, fanning themselves while talking, "Miss Jiang, it's not easy for you. You used to buy bread, but now you sell soap. Where is your man? If your man If you can make money, you don’t have to show your face in the hot weather!”
Cui Qingci's face changed when she heard this. Sister-in-law, don't have any objections to your eldest brother!
Jiang Zhiluo didn't care what others said and said indifferently: "My husband is a learned man and gives me all the money he earns. I don't want to do some business by myself. My husband is very supportive of me and feels that I As long as I’m happy, I don’t need to be constrained by rules.”
“And he dotes on me very much!”
Jiang Zhiluo will never allow anyone to say anything wrong about Cui Hejin! (End of chapter)
