Chapter 61 The First Batch of Soap

Xu Qingying looked at the soap that was slowly condensing in front of her. Some were fast, some were slow, and some were still liquid.

She carefully checked the dosage marked on each mold, controlled the variables, and tried to find the best mixing ratio at once.

If we continue at this rate, we should be able to see the final product in just two days.

Xu Qingying covered the things and suddenly saw a figure passing by the carriage. Only then did Team Leader Zhao come over and say, "Your aunt was strolling here just now. I guess she wanted to see what you were doing inside. I was The people were driven away."

"It doesn't matter. If there are people like this again, just drive them away."

Captain Zhao glanced inside the carriage, then withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help but ask: "How is it? The soap has been made, can I take a look?"

Xu Qingying smiled and said, "Captain Zhao, don't be impatient. It will take two days to solidify before you can see the final appearance. I have never made this recipe, but I am trying to make it. Please keep an eye on this carriage these two days, so as not to scream." People broke our stuff."

"I can take care of this naturally. But what are we going to do next? Just wait for the mold to be removed?"

Xu Qingying asked: "How far is it from the next county?"

"Go southwest for about three days."

"Very good, then we will purchase in large quantities again. This time we will mobilize more people. It is conservatively estimated that we will need to buy 5000 yuan of soap, and strive to capture the entire Henan market at once!"

Bantou Zhao's expression changed, and his throat rolled up. Looking at the confident Xu Qingying, he really wanted to ask her where she got the confidence to sell 5000 yuan of soap.

Henan Prefecture has a population of only a few hundred thousand, and with 5000 yuan... it takes over the entire Henan Prefecture market...

The initial investment alone must be several hundred taels.

Bantou Zhao suddenly felt that he was out of breath and dizzy. He was only worried and uneasy. It took him a long time to regain his consciousness and hesitantly persuaded: "Miss Xu, should we slow down and do this?" There is no need to rush business matters, you should go back and discuss it with Mr. Xu..."

Xu Qingying smiled and said: "Is Team Leader Zhao scared?"

Leader Zhao shook his head like a rattle, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm just worried that Miss Xu will lose everything..."

"I am still very confident in myself, and I ask Leader Zhao to give me more trust. We are in a special situation. Unlike other businessmen, we have to change places when we shoot. The key is to be unexpected. And this book You don’t have to pay any money, you get as much as I sell. Even if you are worried, I should be worried. I am not afraid, so what are you afraid of..."

One shot for another place?
This is quite heartwarming to hear.

That's the truth, but 5000 yuan is enough to fill several cars, right?
Why is Xu Qingying still so calm, as if this is just a small business.

You know, including the cost of raw materials and hiring people, it will cost at least several hundred taels to produce 5000 yuan soap.

"Miss Xu, with all due respect, 5000 yuan of soap is no small deal. Where did you get that much money? Don't forget that you promised to give us [-]% of the soap after it is sold..."

"Don't worry, Team Leader Zhao, my store is so big, I'm obviously going to do something big. It's said that you can't let go of your children but you can't trap the wolf. Once you see the soap with your own eyes, you won't have any doubts."

Team leader Zhao hesitated.

This soap sounds good, but 5000 yuan is not a small amount of money.

This is definitely different from ordinary small fights.Bantou Zhao even felt an inexplicable panic, mixed with a trace of imperceptible excitement. Let him think for a moment, if all the soap was sold, and the profit was calculated, it would be at least a few hundred taels?

Bantou Zhao was terrified and felt like he was drowned in a huge ecstasy, and his feet felt light.

But then he woke up again.

How can this business be so easy to do?

They can only stay in Henan Prefecture for a day or two at most, not to mention how to find a buyer who can swallow the 5000 yuan of soap in such a short period of time. Moreover, if the strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake, if it blocks someone else's fortune What about the road?
Anyway, Team Leader Zhao was getting more and more unsure, until two days later Xu Qingying invited him to see the soap being removed from the mold.

According to the old rules, the curtains of the carriage were drawn tightly to prevent prying eyes.

Xu Qingying called Zhao Bantou, Xu Degui, Miao and others, then took out all the molds and poured them straight out.

So, several people saw the legendary soap.

Xu Qingying observed while taking off the mold, "Mold No. [-] is not performing well, probably because there is too much alkaline water. Mold No. [-] cannot solidify, probably because there is insufficient oil. Mold No. [-] is good... look at this..."

Xu Qingying couldn't hide the surprise in her tone. Everyone followed her gaze and saw a piece of soap as big as a palm. It was white in color, with a hint of transparency, and the material was warm and moist. At first glance, it was of the highest quality.

Zhao Bantou has been sleepless these days. Although he has not invested any money, for some reason, he gets very flustered when he thinks of the 5000 yuan soap. He also doesn't know how the six girls of the Xu family fell asleep at night.

If it is really sold according to her pricing, five taels of silver per dollar, 5000 yuan, that would be 5000 taels!

Just thinking about this number, Team Leader Zhao has already begun to worry about gains and losses——

"This is soap?!" Team leader Zhao couldn't wait to grab a piece and held it in his hand. He played with it repeatedly and looked at it. He even bit the corner and almost spit it out. "Bah, bah, bah, it smells so bad..."

Xu Qingying could only say truthfully: "This has a bit of flavor. I'll see if adding some petals can avoid it later."

Miao took a whiff and said, "It doesn't stink, it has a bit of a smell, but fragrant soap also has a smell. From the appearance, it looks like jade. Let's see how effective it is after using it."

Xu Qingying said to Xu Huiming: "Brother, please go to the river to get some water."

Xu Qingying took out an iron pot from somewhere, with the bottom of the pot facing up. She looked around and smiled maliciously, "Come on, let's try the effect of soap."

"I'll do it!" Miao volunteered and rubbed the bottom of the iron pot with her hands. In an instant, her hands became full of dirt.

Xu Huiming has already returned from fetching water.

Xu Qingying said: "Mom, first dip your hands in some water, then touch the soap, and scrub it to see the effect."

Miao did as she was told, and then wet her hands with water first. As soon as she touched the soap, she felt slippery. When she rubbed it, it was full of moisturizing foam, and then rinsed it with some water. Her skin instantly became smooth and greasy.

"Huh?" Such a magical touch made Miao feel a little uncomfortable. She couldn't help but touch a handful of soap again. After washing it, she stared at her hands and was delighted. "It's amazing. This soap cleans the hands so well." Not to mention, it’s fragrant and smooth——”

"Let me try." Several voices sounded at the same time.

Bantou Zhao couldn't wait to try the soap, and immediately exclaimed: "My mom, what is this? Why is it so smooth and tender after washing?"

Xu Qingying took the opportunity to explain: "This soap can not only wash hands, but can also be used to wash clothes, especially for cleaning oil stains. It is very effective!"

"This is really a fairy product!" Zhao Ban's head jumped up, his face suddenly became very excited, he shouted for a few solutions to try it out, and kept saying, "Come and try it, this thing is really magical. Not to mention the oil on my hands has gone clean, and my skin seems to have become whiter... God, who would want to use scented soap when you have this thing? Not to mention women like to use it, even I, a man, think this thing is good. good--"

Team leader Zhao was a little incoherent and praised him three times, which caused everyone in the station to look over. Mr. Fang had been looking forward to the finished soap for a long time and was the first to come over. Everyone consciously moved out of the way.

Old Mrs. Fang first picked up the soap and observed it for a while, then put it down, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Girl Xu, let me try..."

Old man Fang directly grabbed a little oil on his hands, and then rubbed it on the ground. His hands were instantly black.

He glanced at Xu Qingying very proudly, like an old naughty boy, with a little provocation: "I want to see if your soap, which is so popular in the sky and on the earth, is easy to use. If it is not easy to use, I will But take back the carriage right away... Let's see where you go to cry..."

Xu Qingying also knew that Mr. Fang was teasing her, but thinking that she was a 30-year-old person, and she was teased like this by an uncle, she actually felt a little funny in her heart.

"Just try it."

"Girl Xu, can I try..."

"Yes, yes, I want to see this soap too..."

Xu Qingying is naturally open to anyone who comes. Anyway, this batch of hers is just a sample, used to find the adaptability ratio. The more people use it, the more timely they can get feedback, which is naturally better.

"This batch is all samples. Everyone can use it. If you have any comments or suggestions, please tell me so that I can improve."

As the pieces of soap were distributed, everyone came to try them out, accompanied by bursts of exclamations.

"Ah, why have you washed all the oil off your hands?"

"The skin is still tender and smooth. It's better than the sesame oil before."

"Miss Xu is really capable. I want to buy a piece of this thing. I wonder if it is expensive..."

"That's right, the Xu family girl also said that soap can not only wash hands and bathe, but also wash clothes. Don't mention it, this thing is much better than Kexiang Yizi——"

Some people even brought a basin with water and washed their clothes in front of everyone in the camp. As they screamed one after another, Miao felt distressed. She pulled Xu Qingying and said, "Ying'er, we only have a few dollars in total." , they all have to be sold for money..."

Xu Qingying consoled her: "Mom, these pieces are just trial items, and they don't look particularly good. Giving them to everyone to try out is considered as publicity for us."

Miao's heart trembled, and she said a little bit: "That's only five taels of silver per dollar..."

Xu Qingying smiled, "That's nonsense to outsiders. How can it be sold at such an expensive price? I have just calculated the cost price, plus raw materials, labor and transportation costs, each bar of soap is less than this amount."

Xu Qingying drew a number.

Miao covered her mouth in shock, then pressed Xu Qingying's hand, looked around carefully and said: "God, don't tell anyone... We earn five taels of silver for something worth dozens of pennies... This is really... It’s really…”

Miao wanted to say "black-hearted", but thinking that so much money was hers, she couldn't say it.

"Mom, you can really sell it for five taels of silver. It's just a hype."

"What is the hype?"

"It just makes everyone think that five taels of silver is very expensive, and that I am crazy to pay this price. But it will also arouse people's discussion, so that the news of the soap will spread quickly. Real buyers will also know We have something like soap in our hands."

Miao suddenly realized.

"And you can't just look at the cost. We haven't calculated the price of the prescription yet. Do you know how much this prescription would cost if sold?"

Miao covered her chest and asked tremblingly: "How much?"

"I guess someone should buy at least tens of thousands taels."

Miao almost fainted, but fortunately Xu Degui beside her caught her in time.

Xu Degui had a look of blame on his face, but he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips, "You're worthless! What's wrong with this..."

"This...this...when we were in Bianjing City, no matter how good the business was, we could only earn a few hundred taels a month, and all we earned was hard-earned money. How could we just buy a few pig testicles? A mold and plant ash are all ready-made, and I can only earn so much... Boss, please pinch me quickly to see if all this is true?"

Xu Degui immediately raised his hand and pinched Miao. Miao let out an "ouch" and cried out in pain.

"Hey, Mrs. Xu San!" Someone had already sneaked over to the camp and asked hesitantly, "Um...how much does your soap cost? Can I reserve a few first?"

Miao recognized this person as a daughter-in-law of the Fang family. When the Xu family ran out of food, the Fang family had helped them. Now that her benefactor was speaking, Miao couldn't refuse.

But if this family gives it and that family doesn't, it's inevitable that someone will give it to them.

Miao subconsciously went to see Xu Qingying, waiting for Xu Qingying's idea.

"Madam, the Fang family has given dry food to the Xu family several times. Logically speaking, I shouldn't refuse. But as you can see, I have just sorted out the recipes, and I have to go to the city to find out more, and then decide on the price according to the market conditions. . If you don’t mind it, I will give you a trial piece later, and you can use it first. The soap I will make later will only be more exquisite and detailed. You can come and see it later."

Xu Qingying said with a smile while taking a piece of soap and handed it to her.

The Fang family's wife smiled happily and left with great satisfaction.

Miao hesitated and said: "I think there will be people coming to ask for soap later. They are all people who went to Qianzhou together. They can't see each other when they look up. If the East family gives it to the West family, I'm afraid they will be punished. People poke in the spine.”

Xu Qingying said: "In this life, only mediocre people will not be criticized. Mother, don't be afraid. The Fang family has been kind to us. Let's reciprocate the favor. What right do others have to make irresponsible remarks? Besides, after we start the soap business, , there must be some people who are jealous and greedy, and can say any number of unpleasant things, so we just have to be honest and do things with a clear conscience."

Xu Degui couldn't help but relax physically and mentally after hearing this, but then sighed, "I think this soap business is bound to be profitable, but it's a pity that we don't have enough capital. We are still more than ten days away from Henan Prefecture. If we can increase production on the way, , we are determined to make a name for ourselves in Henan Prefecture!"
