Chapter 79 Old Soap
"But you've already made it on the counter. If they really want to use it, it's not impossible. You can just sell it at the sky-high price."
"The size must be controlled at that time. It must not be larger than the glass on your counter!"
"I understand. Desire is hard to satisfy." Fu Chenan smiled bitterly.
"That's right," Xiao Yingchun glanced at him appreciatively, "Anyway, you have many ways to make money now, and the later you can get the glass, the later it will be. But this one, you can prepare to sell it..."
Xiao Yingchun went to the shelf and picked up an old piece of soap.
This old soap is more than twice the size of the soap sold before.
It's not pretty, but the effect is the same.
"You can cut one piece into two pieces and sell them, and each piece can be sold for only one tael of silver."
"Ladies and ladies from aristocratic families can use it to wash their clothes, shoes and socks. It is more convenient and cleaner than using any soap locust."
Fu Chenan took a look at Old Soap, he was really big.
Even if it is cut into two pieces and sold, it is still larger than the small soap sold before.
Although it doesn't look good, it is enough for wealthy households to wash clothes, shoes and socks.
Fu Chenan nodded: "Can you please buy some for me? Can I take some back to sell first?"
Xiao Yingchun directly gave him all the inventory in his supermarket.
"I'll give you this box. I'll give it to you later when I get it back."
There is only one box in total, and there is no outer packaging. The boxes are neatly arranged.
Fu Chenan put the box of old soap on the cosmetics box, then put the food box on the soap box, and carried it away one by one.
Xiao Yingchun shouted to his back: "Come here tomorrow to get a stab-proof vest and stab-proof gloves!"
Fu Chenan: "Okay..."
In Tao Taoji's cosmetics shop, it was the third time for Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to come. She was tall and straight, looking arrogant and reserved: "What good things are there today?"
Ruyi received her personally: "Madam, you bought pearls last time, but this time there are several new lipstick colors. Can you take a look?"
As Ruyi said, he took out four new lipstick boxes, which were light haze blue and smoky powder porcelain boxes. After opening them, one box was red to purple, and one was red to black.
Mrs. Shangshu frowned on the spot: "This color is too dark!"
Ruyi calmly took out a small brush and began to test the colors on Madam Shangshu.
"Madam, this color, if you apply it lightly, the color will be just right. If you need to wear the imperial uniform, apply it a little darker and it will be more majestic..."
On the back of Ruyi's fair hand, he used a brush to make two marks of lipstick, one deep and one shallow, and handed it over so that Madam Shangshu could see clearly.
She nodded reservedly: "Then give me a try."
"Okay ma'am."
Ruyi first washed off the lipstick on the back of her hands with old soap, dried her hands with a handkerchief, and then used a brush to try on Mrs. Shangshu's mouth.
After trying both colors and usages, Mrs. Shangshu pointed to the two porcelain lipstick boxes: "Give me five boxes of each color."
"Okay, madam..." Ruyi immediately brought her a new one with her hands and feet, wrapped it in a gift box, and handed it to the grandma who was waiting next to her.
Mrs. Shangshu pointed to the old soap that Ruyi had just used to wash her hands: "Is this different from the soap I bought before?"
Ruyi took out half a piece of old soap from under the counter: "The color of this soap is not as good-looking as the soap, but it is excellent for washing hands and women's intimate clothes and shoes."
"One piece is only one tael of silver."
Madam Shangshu was immediately moved: "Give me fifty yuan."
Ruyi did not say "Okay, madam", but said with an apologetic smile: "Madam, this kind of soap is a new product sent by Boss Sith when the shipment of lip balm came this time. Only a few dozen dollars.”
"Originally, our General Fu said that we would buy one or two yuan for customers to try out first, and let a few more people try it out."
"I can only give you five yuan at most. I'll give you more when the Sith boss supplies us with a large quantity next time, okay?"
From a maximum of two yuan to a maximum of five yuan, Mrs. Shangshu knew that this was considered a favor given to her by General Fu, so she nodded.
The nanny next to me paid the check, took ten boxes of lip balm and five pieces of old soap and left. "Madam, you came to buy these things in person. If you want me, just ask them to deliver them to your door." As soon as she walked out of the shop, she whispered to Mrs. Shangshu.
Mrs. Shangshu said calmly: "Talk too much."
Grandma didn’t dare to say any more.
Ruyi and Qiuyue looked at each other: they heard it too.
These words reached Fu Chenan's ears after the shop closed in the evening.
"General, why didn't Mrs. Shangshu ask us to send them to their home for them to choose? Instead, you deigned to come and choose them yourself?"
Fu Chenan smiled: "Since he is the Minister of Rites, he naturally pays more attention to rules. Maybe there are some different rules in his family."
Are there any special rules?
It was just because all the important officials in the imperial court knew that the emperor was afraid of the Fu family and his son.
They would rather work their legs and come here in person than be pigeonholed by the emperor in his mind as belonging to the Fu family.
However, some ordinary wealthy merchants and some small officials do not have such scruples. They will ask their family stewards to come to the shop from time to time to ask if there are new goods.
If there are new goods, the female shopkeeper of Tao Tao Ji will come to their door with the new goods to serve them to try them out.
So the remaining maids who were not at Tao Tao Ji's powder shop had work to do.
Fu Chenan bought a few maids who knew some martial arts to escort them to the client's house. After patiently trying on the makeup for the ladies at that house, he came back after selling the items.
Money is rolling in...
The shops of the aristocratic families who had previously purchased the goods bought this kind of Western goods, and they sold well for a while, which also boosted the sales of other goods in their shops.
As a result, they became more and more dissatisfied with Fu Chenan's "low price".
Fu Chenan is too bad at doing business!
Who gets exclusive products but only makes 10% profit?
Isn’t this holding a golden bowl and begging for food?
So the six aristocratic families who had received supplies from "Boss Sith" came to Fu Chenan one after another and asked Fu Chenan to increase the price.
Fu Chenan simply invited them all to the Marshal's Mansion.
In the Marshal's Mansion, there was a newly renovated living room that smelled of lacquer, old ebony furniture, and various ornaments that were expensive but not in complete sets, all exuding the aura of the poor suddenly getting rich.
Everyone sat down one after another, looked at each other, and made assumptions in their hearts.
General Fu has probably been poor for too long, so as soon as he has some money, he wants to take care of his family, right?
Fu Chen'an was dressed in light green Liuyun Brocade and came in a hurry with a showman's look. As soon as they met, he grinned and clasped his fists at the young men of the aristocratic families present: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time! I'm sorry, sorry..."
"General Fu, you're welcome!"
They all responded with smiles and sat down one after another.
Most of the concubine sons were second-generation ancestors who were just waiting to die. The family resources did not favor them, and they were basically not qualified to enter the court.
By chance, I went to Zuihong Mansion with Fu Chenan, but I didn't expect that I would get the opportunity to cooperate with the boss of Sith.
They had actually discussed it in private and figured that Fu Chenan must have helped. Otherwise, with so many people coveting Boss Sith's Western goods, why were they the only ones who could get it?
Therefore, they have been particularly enthusiastic about Fu Chenan recently.
Two updates are coming today.
Regarding the heroine's handling of her grandmother and aunt's family, some readers felt that it was not refreshing enough.
Let’s just say: the heroine is a human being, not a god, and cannot be perfect.
She also has character weaknesses that need to be overcome and grown up.
After all, in her native family, her mother was very eager for family affection and recognition. She had a "pleasant personality" and was rather clumsy.
She needs time to get through this influence from her mother.
Xiao Yingchun: Dear parents, can you wait patiently? People will get better and better.
Please!
