Chapter 257: Lemon juice (second update)

 Some women were startled when they heard this.

“Your husband is a scholar, but he is still willing to let you do business in public?”

"Yes, your husband doesn't mind this? They scholars value reputation most."

“Mrs. Jiang, don’t keep it in your heart if you feel wronged. No one will laugh at you.”

Everyone looked at Jiang Zhiluo and listened to what she just said. They obviously didn't believe it and felt that Jiang Zhiluo was lying.

 Scholars pay most attention to reputation, especially scholars, peasants, industry and merchants. How low the status of merchants is.

If her husband had obtained a degree, his wife would be a public business person, and she would not be laughed at by her classmates and colleagues.

Such a scholar would rather tighten his belt and live a life than be so public about doing business.

 Let alone shouting and selling things at the same time.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at everyone's eyes burning with gossip, and felt a little funny in her heart.

She felt that even the explanation was useless, and no one believed it at all.

 But this also shows that Cui Hejin is very good.

 In this era, it is already good that he can respect her ideas and let her do what she wants to do.

 After all, this era is different from modern times.

 Here, she is Cui Hejin’s nominal wife.

 What she did represents Cui Hejin’s face.

But thinking about it this way, she felt even more emotional. Mrs. Cui was also very good.

  Never find fault with others.

Cui Qingci reacted and quickly got off the bullock cart. She held a cattail leaf fan and fanned Jiang Zhiluo next to her.

“Sister-in-law, are you feeling hot? Let me wipe your sweat.”

With that said, Cui Qingci hurriedly wiped Jiang Zhiluo's sweat, fanning the wind with one hand without stopping.

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said: "It's okay, it's not hot, no need."

“Sister-in-law, that’s not possible. Both my mother and eldest brother feel sorry for you. When you go out, they are worried that you will be tired and hot. If you hadn’t insisted, sister-in-law, my mother would have come to help.”

Cui Qingci felt that she must save face for her sister-in-law.

  Don't let others make random guesses and look down on your sister-in-law.

Jiang Zhiluo was so confused by Cui Qingci that she couldn't even come back to her senses.

 At this time the women came back to their senses.

 They looked at Cui Qingci with even more surprised expressions.

"You...are you Miss Jiang's sister-in-law?"

Cui Qingci nodded and said with a very sincere look: "Yes, I like my sister-in-law, so when she goes out, I have to come with her."

Everyone stopped gossiping when they saw how good my sister-in-law was.

However, some people looked at this scene and felt sad.

Many people have an indescribable relationship with their sister-in-law.

 But look at my sister-in-law, she is really good.

How he fanned his sister-in-law so diligently.

 Doesn’t she feel too hot herself?

However, someone also noticed the cattail leaf fans in their hands.

“Hey, this fan of yours is very powerful and seems to be very useful. Do you sell fans?”

 Some old ladies noticed that the fans in their hands seemed not as useful as the fans in the hands of other girls.

Cui Qingci stopped moving.

 Isn’t it?

They came to sell soap, and everyone noticed their cattail fans.

Cui Qingci said nothing, she looked at Jiang Zhiluo.

  Anyway, my sister-in-law made this up, and she listened to her sister-in-law.

Jiang Zhiluo said: "Sell it for ten cents each!"

 “Then I bought it!”

An old lady quickly took ten cents and bought the fan in Cui Qingci's hand.

 Old ladies in the neighborhood are used to comparing themselves to each other and have a herd mentality. If they see what others have, they should do the same.    "I'll buy it too!"

Jiang Zhiluo also handed the other cattail leaf fan on the ox cart to the old lady.

The two old ladies held it in their hands to fan themselves.

"Don't tell me, the wind is really strong, and it's very light to hold."

 “Yes, it’s really useful.”

 When two people said this, the people next to them borrowed it and tried it out.

I feel it is easy to use, and although it is not an embroidered fan, it looks pretty good.

“This fan of yours is really good. It’s better than the woven fans at the market. It looks better too. I’ll buy two of them too!”

Jiang Zhiluo twitched the corner of her mouth and said: "It's gone now. If you want to buy it, you can tell us. We will do the statistics and send it directly to you tomorrow."

 Is this still possible?

 Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all said the number.

Jiang Zhiluo counted and found that about twenty-one fans were needed.

 The fan can be knitted quickly. She should be able to knit it when she comes over tomorrow afternoon.

 So Jiang Zhiluo readily agreed.

However, she did not forget that she was here to sell soap and continued to sell soap to everyone.

They even took out a linen cloth on the spot, made it deliberately dirty on the ground, and then washed it on the spot for everyone.

“Only dirt is very easy to wash. Everyone has oil-stained clothes at home. Very dirty clothes can be washed clean. You can tell by looking at the foam..."

This kind of live demonstration allows everyone to feel the usefulness of soap more intuitively.

 “It can really be cleaned!”

“We still have fragrant rice noodles at home, but we haven’t used them up yet.”

“We usually use saponin at home, so you can use it.”

 Everyone is hesitant whether to buy it or not.

At this time, a young woman happened to come over and saw this scene. She hurriedly squeezed in from the crowd and said, "Sister, can I ask if even that kind of dyed cloth can be washed?"

 The little woman is very young and looks well dressed.

　　When she asked, she looked a little anxious, and when she looked at Jiang Zhiluo, she also looked expectant.

A woman next to her recognized the little woman and said, "Isn't this Qiu Niang? You are also inexperienced. Your batch of cloth was soaked in the rain, and some of the cloth faded, dyeing other cloths a little. "

“At this point, the entire cloth is wasted.”

“Whoever makes clothes has mottled colors on them.”

When the woman heard this, her eyes turned red.

Someone nearby sighed and said, "It's not easy for Qiuniang and her husband. They finally found a shop to do some fabric business. Who would have thought that this would happen."

 “The other cloths are all moldy!”

“We are very careful when washing clothes. Colored clothes must not be put together with light-colored clothes. Once dyed, no expensive soap can wash it off.”

 Everyone was talking in a hurry.

Jiang Zhiluo understood what was going on as soon as she heard it. She thought about it and said, "Well, just bring a piece of cloth over and it should be fine."

When the woman heard this, she became excited and said, "Okay, I'll go back and get it right away."

The woman ran very fast and ran back in a flash.

　　When I came back, I took two pieces of cloth.

One piece is a moldy cloth, and the other is a light pink cloth stained with blue.

This is quite abrupt.

Jiang Zhiluo took it and put some white soap on it, then soaked it in the basin.

 The white soap was made by her later. Although she did not add flower juice or wormwood juice, she did add citric acid juice.

They also contain spiritual spring water, so the effect will be stronger.

 After soaking for a quarter of an hour, scrub vigorously and the mildew spots and stained areas will be washed away.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Everyone stared blankly, suspecting that their eyes were dazzled and that they were hallucinating. (End of chapter)
