After applying for the ISBN, Gu Qingling began to prepare to use movable type printing to print books in large quantities.
She asked people to re-improve the papermaking technology based on the recipe she came up with, making the originally high-cost paper cheap, and also divided it into several different grades of paper.
One is for printing books, the other is for daily writing, and an unexpected bonus is toilet paper for using in the toilet.
As soon as toilet paper came out, Lu Qingling immediately spread it throughout the whole family and prepared all the toilets at home.
"This is paper?!" Mrs. Yao Er's eyes widened, looking at the soft silk handkerchief in her hand, she couldn't believe it.
Mr. Yao was so strong that he accidentally tore the paper in his hand.
Yao Anxin and Yao Anling, while testing the softness of the paper, put it in front of their noses and smelled it, and said in surprise: "It actually smells good!"
Gu Qingling said with a smile: "I asked people to put some spices in when making paper. Of course it is fragrant. I didn't use any particularly fragrant spices, just ordinary floral fragrances. If you have a favorite fragrance, you can register it.
When the time comes, remember that they will also make some other scented paper.”
"Old lady, paper is so expensive. Isn't it a bit too luxurious to use in the toilet?" I don't have much to use, but the problem is, the old lady asked the whole family, including the maids, to use this kind of paper. Isn't it too expensive?
pass?
Although Mrs. Yao Er doesn't care about the house now, she still feels a little distressed when she thinks about the consumption of paper.
Gu Qingling burst out laughing and said, "Don't worry, if it's too expensive, I won't let anyone put it in the toilet. This thing is very cheap to make."
She gestured with a finger.
Mrs. Yao Er was shocked: "So cheap?"
Gu Qingling nodded: "It's so cheap."
"Oh my god?! This is too cheap, old lady. If it is so cheap, then if it is sold, wouldn't even ordinary people be able to use it?" Mrs. Yao Er was suddenly excited and wanted to get some of her own.
Go to Baixiang Pavilion.
"Paper should be something that ordinary people can afford, but now no one has developed a more labor-saving method, which makes paper seem a bit expensive." Gu Qingling said, "Things that are scarce are more valuable.
, when this thing is no longer rare, it will no longer be expensive.”
When Gu Qingling asked people to produce toilet paper, he specially divided it into three types. One was the less white toilet paper that cost two cents per roll and was affordable for ordinary people; the other was the more expensive toilet paper, which cost a few cents.
But the toilet paper is softer and whiter; the third type is for aristocratic families, it is not only soft, but also fragrant.
Not to mention others, even Gu Qingling couldn't help but feel a little happy when she got such a soft paper unexpectedly after so many years.
This time, Gu Qingling asked Yao Anxin, Miss Yao Qi, and Miss Yao Ba to represent him and discuss the toilet paper business with Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao 2, and Mr. Yao.
When Yao Anling saw it, she was still a little unconvinced: "Why can't I participate? My eldest cousin can participate, so do I."
"Why are you so anxious? How old are you? In a few years, you will be as old as your eldest cousin. I will also give you a shop to practice." Mrs. Yao Er laughed. Before a lady from aristocratic family got married, which girl didn't?
Have you practiced with a shop in advance?
If she doesn't practice, who will take care of it for her when she brings so much dowry to her husband's house?
Give it to your in-laws?
Come on, if you meet someone who is more ruthless and wants to rely on your in-laws even if you have no one left, don't give it for free.
Yao Anling didn't agree, and she had to start practicing now. She also said that Yao Anxin was only a few years older than her, so her academic performance in the classroom might not be as good as hers, and neither could this shop.
Mrs. Yao Er saw how strong Yao Anling was, and her face was full of helplessness: "Ask the old lady. If the old lady agrees, then come to me."
"Old lady~" Yao Anling didn't say anything, she stepped forward and hugged Gu Qingling's arm and acted coquettishly.
Gu Qingling: "Okay, okay, stop being so shaky. If you want your mother to agree to you, you have to agree to a few conditions first. If you don't even ask your mother what conditions she wants, what's the use of just begging me?"
"My mother didn't ask for any conditions."
"Of course there are conditions." Gu Qingling said, "If there are no conditions, what if you make a loss in the shop and don't listen to your mother?"
Mrs. Yao Er heard this and quickly answered: "Yes, this condition is definitely required. For example, you can take care of the shop, but how to take care of it and what to do, you have to listen to your mother and me. If it is a shop
Even if a loss occurs, you have to listen to everyone's opinions and make improvements to make the shop profitable."
Yao Anling's face puffed up and she said, "I won't lose money. I'm so smart. The shop I run must be the most profitable shop in the world."
Everyone in the room laughed.
In the end, Yao Anling did get a shop, but as Gu Qingling said, if she wants to open a shop, she must first listen to Mrs. Yao's second wife.
My dear brothers, let us settle the accounts.
Gu Qingling was not polite to a few people. He cooperated as much as he wanted. Nothing was ever given for free. His family could earn less, but they could not lose all their capital.
In order to research this toilet paper, Gu Qingling couldn't afford a lot of costs upfront. Labor costs, material costs, and opportunities all had to be calculated.
The first store to start selling toilet paper was none other than Jinling Baixiangge.
That day, Mrs. Ye just walked into the shop, and the little girl who usually welcomed her smiled at her and told her that there were new things in the shop.
Mrs. Ye's eyes lit up and she quickly asked the little girl to recommend it to her.
The little girl smiled and invited her into the inner room first, and waited for Mrs. Ye to clean her hands. Then she took out a piece of snow-white stuff and carefully wiped Mrs. Ye's hands.
At first, Mrs. Ye thought this was some new handkerchief. It felt very soft when she wiped it. She even praised it.
The little girl suddenly laughed: "Mrs. Ye, this is not made of cloth, this is paper."
"Paper?"
"Well, this is the new product launched in our store. The one I just tried out for my wife is called 'paper towel'. It is used to replace the towel for wiping hands. It is a disposable product." The little girl said while taking the used paper towel.
The paper was thrown into something called a "trash can".
It means that this kind of disposable thing means that it can be thrown away after being used once.
She took out a whole pack of paper towels and told Mrs. Ye that this kind of paper towels is not only clean and tidy, but also very convenient. Unlike towels, they need to be washed, dried and kept clean after use.
Paper towels are disposable, just throw them away after use.
"The most important thing is that it is very clean and easy to carry. You see, you can put it in a bag like this, or put it in a carriage or somewhere at home like this..."
The little girl also gave Mrs. Ye a pack and asked her to touch it and give it a try.
Needless to say, the softness of paper towels, something that can be torn with just one force, is indeed very soft. Moreover, it also has a light fragrance, just like the incense that Mrs. Ye usually uses, it is light and smells good.
.
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but put it to her nose and smell it several times, and asked the little girl to pack a few bags for her and take them away later.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Ye, we have something else here, I guarantee you will like it too."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Toilet paper."
"Toilet...paper?" Mrs. Ye's expression was a little awkward, but this was the back room, and either her maid or the little girl from Baixiangge shop was in the room, so that was fine.
