Chapter 081 Selling Soap
Yuqing didn't care much, but instead taught He and others that women should not place happiness on men.
Men are reliable, sows will climb trees.
After hearing her strange and strange talks, He was both angry and funny.
"Let me tell me, how can a woman live without a man?"
Yuqing retorted: "Does he jump into the fire pit to get married?"
He said seriously: "This family is not good. If we choose another family, how could I push your elder sister into the fire pit?"
Seeing that He had misunderstood, Yuqing explained: "I didn't say that my mother would push my elder sister into the fire pit."
She means that you cannot get married for the sake of marriage, you should get married for the sake of happiness.
Yuqing continued: "The flowering period of a girl is very short. I am afraid that my elder sister will miss the flowering period and cannot find a good family. Will my mother marry her? If this is true, will the elder sister be happy?"
He heard this and was silent for a long time before sighing: "It's just that our family is in trouble, Rujiang... Your father is alive, or your elder sister has a promising brother, it won't even be like someone like Mrs. Li's niece-in-law~"
Yuqing knew what He meant. If she was a real young man, she would be able to study and take the exam.
If she passed the exam, her sisters would have a higher net worth. At that time, it would not be someone else who chose her sisters, but her sisters who chose others.
But the question is, she is a young lady, how can she take the exam for fame? If the court knows that she disguises herself as a man, she will be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
She would be beheaded, but I am afraid that He and others would not end up being much better.
So even if she wants to take the exam for fame and fortune, it is too risky, let alone if she doesn't like reading, she wants to take the exam for fame and fortune, she would rather eat shit on a live broadcast.
"Mom! What are you talking nonsense?" Yuchun said dissatisfied.
It’s not unclear about Yuqing’s gender, and she doesn’t mean to blame her for being useless.
But Yu Yuchun didn't know that he thought He was complaining about Silang's lack of success, so he was unfair.
He smiled: "I didn't say I asked your brother to take the exam for fame."
Yuqing spread his hands and said, "I have been dressed as a man and have not read much since I was a child. Now I am afraid it is too late to read it."
You can't count on me for the exam for fame and fortune, but I can still make a fortune.
When our family has money, I can prepare a generous dowry for several sisters. With the sycamore tree, I am afraid that I will not attract the golden phoenix?"
Her sisters blushed and moved.
After seeing each other, Mrs. Li had not replied to her, but Mrs. Zhang, who had not seen each other, had the attitude of the Fu family.
However, it was not Mrs. Zhang who came to tell Yuqing's family in person, but sent a slave to pass on the message, saying that Mrs. Fu felt that the two families were not in a good position and did not want to get married.
A wife from the seventh rank chief clerk of the Imperial College, actually felt that the two families were not in line with each other, and He was so angry that his chest hurt.
Yuqing felt uncomfortable, but she had the right to be unwilling to do so, what could she do to her?
Instead of sulking, it is better to bury your head and make two more pieces of soap and earn more money, so that you can earn more dowry for your sisters, so that they can marry into a good family.
Yuqing turned anger into motivation and made a hundred pieces of soap with Hanshan. The master and servant went to deliver it to the "Hongzhuang" rouge shop together.
Because it was the second time to make soap, I had more experience. In addition, red plum petals were added to it, soap turned into soap.
Moreover, there are a few red plum petals floating in the translucent soap, which looks very good.
So this time Yuqing raised the price, one tael and five cents a dollar.
The shopkeeper naturally bargained with her, saying that even if the price increases, the increase would not be so large. He was too unkind and was willing to buy it for one or two or three yuan per dollar.
The two were in a stalemate, and a middle-aged man wearing a brocade cotton robe walked in.
He looked at Yuqing in surprise first, and then asked the shopkeeper arrogantly: "Did the soap I bought from you before the New Year come?"
The shopkeeper winked at Yuqing and warned her not to speak.
Then he nodded and bowed to the middle-aged man, "Master Hu Er, you know that those soaps are imported from the West. How can you say that there is goods? But you didn't run away this time, and some goods came."
As he spoke, he showed him a few samples of red plum soap that Yuqing showed him to Mr. Hu: "The soap I brought back from the West this time is better than the last time, so I can't sell it to you at the price last time. This soap costs at least three taels and two cents a dollar."
Master Hu Er picked up a piece of red plum soap and looked left and right, and smelled it again, and the fragrance of the plum blossoms was scented.
He clearly showed satisfaction in his eyes, but he raised his face and said to the shopkeeper: "How dare you ask me for three or two cents of silver? Just three or two cents of silver!"
The shopkeeper pretended to behave: "Master Hu Er, you are so cruel. How do you make money when you ask me to do it?"
Master Hu Er glanced at him sideways: "Just tell me if you sell it."
"You have made a big name, do you think I dare not sell it?" The shopkeeper's expression was very good, helpless and unwilling to accept it.
Anyone who saw it thought that he hadn't made much money on this soap, otherwise it wouldn't be the expression.
Yuqing thought to himself, if this guy wears it to the modern era, he will be a perfect actor.
Mr. Hu Er asked the shopkeeper how many pieces of soap there were in total.
The shopkeeper stretched out a finger: "A hundred yuan, can you eat all of it?"
Master Hu Er said unhappily: "Didn't you underestimate our Duke's Mansion? Of course you can eat it!"
The shopkeeper was in great joy and the profit of 150 taels of silver was obtained.
"But I only have these samples on my hand. I will send you a hundred pieces of soap to your house. What do you think?"
Master Hu Er pointed to the sample soap: "It must be exactly the same as the samples I saw, otherwise I will let you go without eating!"
The shopkeeper quickly promised: "There is a different part and you smashed my store!"
Only then did Master Hu leave with great pride.
The shopkeeper Jian Yuqing witnessed the price of his soap, and she was tactful and didn't interrupt.
Therefore, without waiting for Yuqing to speak, he agreed to buy her soap at the price she offered.
While counting the basket of soap handed over by Hanshan, he said to Yuqing: "If you produce soap again, please send it to me directly."
Yuqing said lightly: "I can't agree to you this."
The implication is that he thinks he is not kind, and he can sell it at such a high price, but he insists on reducing her price.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Look at the store I am as big as I have to pay rent, I have to hire a friend, the expenses are high, I will definitely lower the price when you raise the price. Isn't the business done in bargaining?"
Yuqing said: "Such good soap is not easy to make, and it is not easy to find pig pancreas. If you suppress my price, why would you be willing to sell you?"
What she said was the truth. Making a hundred pieces of soap requires one hundred pig pancreas.
Last time, because the Chinese New Year was almost over, I could buy one or two pig pancreas at one time.
After the New Year, it was difficult to buy the pig pancreas. In order to get a hundred pig pancreas, Han Shan’s legs were almost broken.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "If I buy pig pancreas for you and you only sell your soap for me, would you think it's okay?"
Afraid that Yuqing refused to agree, he added: "The price is easy to talk about, I won't let you suffer."
