Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

The bath beans sold in the capital are very expensive. A small piece costs more than one tael.

Bath beans are something that only wealthy families in the capital can afford. I heard that those ladies and ladies from wealthy families have to use less than half of the bath beans in one bath, which is really a waste of money...

But look at the soap made by Jiang Xiaoxiao. All the more than 40 of them used it to wash their hands, and they didn't see that the soap had become smaller. It was much more durable than bath beans.

"Of course, how much do you want to buy?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.

She made a total of eight bamboo tubes of soap. Each bamboo tube was as thick as an arm and could be cut into more than ten small square pieces of soap. There were more than eighty pieces in total. One piece for each person was more than enough.

"Xiaoxiao, how do you sell this soap?" Master Zheng couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought about it and found that the cost of making this soap was almost nothing. The plant ash was taken from the stove and was not worth much. The lard was boiled from the pork in her mother's space. According to the meat in the town, The price is more than 20 cents for a pound of pork, which can produce sixty-seven taels of oil.

She spent less than fifty kilograms of fat pork in making these soaps, which worked out to more than one tael of silver.

In addition, she also added alcohol and coarse salt. High-purity alcohol is not available in this era. Even if it costs 100 yuan, a bottle of wine in the town only costs 70 or 80 yuan. As for coarse salt, it is even cheaper. Three pennies...

The average cost of each bar of soap is less than twenty cents.

By the way, she also added goat's milk to the soap. This thing is expensive, so the cost price should be doubled.

She opened her mouth and said, "I'm going to sell this soap for four hundred cents a piece."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, and even her mother-in-law looked at her in surprise.

Is this price too expensive?

"Xiaoxiao, you only sell such a useful soap for four hundred cents a piece?" The young apprentice next to Master Zheng couldn't help but come up to him. He gestured with his fingers and said: "Did you know that in the capital, baths cost one tael a piece?" The beans are not as big as your piece of soap, your soap is more durable than the bath beans, and the wash is cleaner than the bath beans, and you only sell it for 400 yuan?!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

She thought that ten times the price was already a huge profit...

"Xiaoxiao, give me a piece!"

"Hey, don't squeeze, Xiaoxiao, I want two yuan!"

……

For a time, more than a dozen young apprentices swarmed around Jiang Xiaoxiao. Some bought one piece, some bought two pieces, and even Master Zheng bought two pieces.

The farmers on the side looked at it with envy. Although they were very greedy for the soap, for farmers like them who could not earn two taels of silver all year round, it would take a long time to save four hundred coins, so they were really reluctant to part with it...

Qiu Lianniang also wanted to buy one, but thought of the tax that would be paid in a few days, so she held back.

However, before finishing work in the afternoon and leaving, Jiang Xiaoxiao still stuffed a piece of soap into her hand. For the sake of fairness, she also gave a piece to Sister Zhao.

"That's impossible!" Sister Zhao was so frightened that she quickly declined, "How could such a precious soap be wasted by country people like us? Besides, your mother also gave us wages, fifteen cents a day. This soap really can't be used. receive……"

"This is a benefit for helping our family." Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and pressed her hand, "It's hard for you to cook for so many people every day. You deserve to be paid. Washing so many bowls a day hurts your hands. Soap is a subsidy for you." "This is Xiaoxiao's wish, just accept it." Jiang Wei also stood up and said, "Our family still has something to ask you for help with."

"What's the matter? Xiaoxiaoniang, just say it." Qiu Lianniang said, patting her chest.

Jiang Wei glanced at the new house that was rising outside the courtyard, and said quietly: "Our new house is almost ready. Tomorrow Master Zheng will come and apply raw paint and then it will be almost ready to move in. According to the custom of the village, the new house We need to hold a banquet during the relocation, so I have to ask you to help me find a few wives who have experience in this area to help."

"Hold a banquet?" Sister-in-law Zhao was stunned. Every household is poor these days. Even if there is a happy event at home, the villagers just go to join in the fun and eat some wedding cakes. As for hosting a banquet, their village has not held a banquet in many years. …

"Our family is not planning to make a big party. When the time comes, all the folks from the village will come to have a meal." Jiang Weidao, "Qiulian, you two are both good at cooking. Then you can help our family cook."

"Okay, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by us."

After Qiu Lianniang and Sister Zhao left, Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao closed the courtyard door and returned to the house.

Jiang Xiaoxiao spread all the money she earned from selling soap today on the table. She sold a total of twenty soap bars and earned eight taels of silver.

This is simply more profitable than ice cream and ice cream!

Jiang Wei sat down at the table and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect you to make this soap successfully the first time."

She glanced at the neat piles of soaps on the table and added, "Tomorrow let's go to the town to see if the furniture we ordered is ready, and by the way, see if there are any shops for resale. "

"Okay!" Jiang Xiaoxiao beamed, her family was finally going to buy a shop in the town!

The next day, the mother and daughter got on the carriage with Old Zhao Chunmiao and went to Yong'an Town.

When they arrived in the town, the mother and daughter got out of the car at their destination, while Old Man Zhao and Chun Miao continued to drive the carriage to deliver the goods.

Across the street was a carpenter's shop, and Jiang Wei led Jiang Xiaoxiao and walked over.

The apprentice inside was doing carpentry work. When he saw the mother and daughter walking in, they immediately greeted them enthusiastically.

Jiang Wei directly explained his intention.

"Isn't it just a coincidence? Your custom-made furniture was just finished yesterday, and you are here today." The apprentice happily led them to the backyard to look at the furniture.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced over and saw that the dazzling array of furniture had been coated with tung oil and was being left to dry in the backyard.

Her custom-made tables, chairs, cabinets, mirrors, screens and other furniture are among them. They are all made of pure mahogany and look beautiful and grand.

There are too many furniture materials to choose from these days. If you are a wealthy family, they usually choose rosewood and huanghuali, which are better woods. Rosewood and chicken wing wood are also used.

As for ordinary homes, most of them use mahogany.

The poor families in the village mostly use common firewood, such as birch, poplar or pine, which are found on the mountains. You can find a lot of them on a trip to the mountains.

"The furniture you want is carefully crafted by several master craftsmen in the shop. The quality of the mahogany used is guaranteed to be first-class. It will last for decades without any problem!" the apprentice assured, patting his chest.

Jiang Wei naturally also saw that these furniture were made with care. In ancient times, unlike modern times, everything was made by machine. Instead, it was handmade bit by bit. After careful craftsmanship, the quality must be passable. The furniture of poor quality It will ruin the reputation of the master carpenter, and no one will come to him to build furniture again.
