The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 182 The soap boom begins

Chang'an City has a reputation of eight waters surrounding Chang'an. Three canals, "Longshou Canal", "Qingming Canal" and "Yong'an Canal", were built in the Sui Dynasty, and then the Yellow Canal and the Cao Canal were excavated in the Tang Dynasty. There are 5 water canals running through Chang'an City.

Around these main channels, they are divided into some tributaries, and the entire water network is formed.

In addition to canal water, well water was also very developed in Chang'an City at that time, and there were wells in every neighborhood.

Daily drinking water is mainly from well water.Especially in Chang'an City at that time, many palaces were surrounded by wells, which could provide drinking water on the one hand, and fire protection and emergency emergencies on the other.

Of course, in addition to this, there are other water supply models in cities, such as lakes.The Chang'an water canals extending in all directions form a larger lake after gathering together, so that the entire city of Chang'an can rely on water supply.

With the combination of canal water, well water, and lake water, the water supply problem of a large city with a population of 100 million has been successfully solved by relying on the canals with vertical and horizontal water networks, wells everywhere, and lakes with pleasant scenery. A world's largest and most prosperous metropolis is formed!

Every morning, as soon as the gates of each workshop are opened, there will be a large number of women, each carrying a wooden basin filled with clothes and a mallet, and they will go to the nearby canal to wash their clothes in twos and threes. clothing.

Very few people wash next to the well water because the space is too small for so many people to spread out. Also, they are worried about contaminating the well water. You must know that the well water is for drinking and cannot be contaminated.

The sun rose early today. I carried the wooden basin to the edge of the canal. I could still feel a little sweat on my head. I put the wooden basin down, each found a position, and started washing the clothes. Even while washing clothes, the gossips about Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang also started to chat.

"Hey, do you know?"

"What?" One aunt started with this classic quotation, followed by other aunts asking questions one after another.

"It's Erzhu's house in the front yard of my house. I bought a Persian cat as my daughter-in-law yesterday, and his wife was so mad that she got into a fight, but Erzhu wants this Persian cat."

"Hey. Persian cat. I heard that Persian cats have body odor. How would these two pillars like such a woman?"

"Who says it's not, Er Zhu's wife is a pretty good person, except that sometimes she beats Er Zhu up, she doesn't do anything bad, she even gave Er Zhu two children."

"By the way, isn't Erzhu's wife's family running a martial arts gym? Has her family come yet?"

"That's right, that's right. He runs a martial arts gym, and everyone who can come has come. Erzhu was almost beaten to death, but even if he wants to marry a Persian cat, he won't let go."

"Oh, isn't it the Persian cat that's been possessed?"

"I don't know, but Lady Erzhu is ready to divorce."

"Reconciliation is not a small matter."

The gossip was one after the other, and the aunts were also chatting enthusiastically, chatting about the work at hand. At this time, the clothes were washed in the water, and when they started beating, an aunt took out a plastic bag from her arms. The soap wrapped in straw paper was smeared on the clothes of the men and children at home.Soon, bubbles appeared on the clothes. As soon as the bubbles appeared, the aunts began to become uneasy.

"Hey Yanzi mother, what's going on with your clothes? Why are there still bubbles in them?" an aunt asked in surprise.

At this time, Yanzi's mother smiled and replied: "This is soap. Yesterday Yanzi went to Dongshi to play. The old rock candy shop gave this soap as a gift. She said that soap is like bath beans, and it is very good at washing clothes. Dirty, Yanzi and that boy from my family each took a piece back.

Not to mention, it is really clean. Not only can it be used to wash clothes, but it can also be used to wash your face and take a shower. "

After Yan Zi's mother finished speaking, all the aunts came over curiously to watch. Watching Yan Zi's mother wash the foam on the clothes in the water, and then reveal the clothes. Mi Tai's clothes instantly became clean, and the aunts were all surprised. Everyone showed surprised expressions.

Soon the aunties started asking when the soap would be delivered.They also wanted to get one. Yan Zi’s mother smiled and told everyone that this soap is given away at the entrance of Dongshi or other shops, but it is only given for today. If you want to use soap next time, you can only buy it. .

"This soap is as good as bath beans. Isn't it expensive?" an aunt asked worriedly.

Yanzi's mother chuckled: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive. There are exhibits next to it. It's three yuan larger than what I got for free, and the price is only five cents. Originally, I was going to buy a few more yuan in advance, but who knows what others said We won’t sell it until we use the free soap and feel better.

Oh, this human nature is really good! "

"Yes, yes, among those selling things, who doesn't want to sell their things as soon as possible? This one is better. They also have to let you use it for free first, and then sell it to you after you have used it."

"Haha. This is because they have confidence in their things and know that their things are good. Hey, I won't wash my clothes yet."

"Hey Mommy Taozi. Why don't you wash it?"

Everyone was surprised, but Yanzi's mother burst into laughter: "You are all not as smart as Taozi's mother. She went to find a place that distributes free soap. The free soap is also limited in quantity. It's first come, first served." .”

As soon as these words came out, all the women who were washing clothes here were not calm. They all picked up their wooden trays. The clothes will not be washed today, so they must get the free soap.

The decontamination ability of the soap was confirmed, and the price was also recognized by the people. Therefore, in the following days, people queued up to buy soap at Tianruixinjian Shop in Dongshi. 20 pieces of soap were sold every day. All of them were sold out, and the supply was still in short supply.

A piece of soap is five cents, 20 guan is a profit of [-] guan, and the cost is about [-] guan, which means that Li An will earn [-] guan in a day from selling soap, [-] guan in ten days, and [-] guan in a month. Through.

This number is very gratifying, but Li An will not really put so much money in his pocket. After all, the soap is still starting now, and 20 yuan a day is only in Chang'an City. If the soap business Send it to the public, then a million yuan or even 200 million a day is easy, and because Ang Lee's soap business still needs to find a backstage.

Forget it this time, Li Zhi and Li Mingda, Li An wants to find the bigger one this time. Of course, Li An has no way to find it now, because Li An has already passed through the mysterious cave before the soap became popular. , back to modern times.
