After buying the lard suet and refining it, the whole family became so busy that they forgot about themselves.

Except for Cheng Mingyi, everyone else is focused on money. As long as they do more and sell more, it will be money; their family has just settled down and built a house, so it can be said that they are resting on their laurels.

There are no jobs to be found on other people’s land, and even going out to work in the middle of winter is a tough job.

This time there was work at home, work that could make money without having to go out and suffer serious crimes. They were very enthusiastic and worked with great energy. They learned from Mingyi how to combine pork suet and the prepared lye, basically There is no need for Mingyi to take action.

Mingyi was finally liberated from it.

In order to make soap, Cheng Dazhu and others built a new stove overnight in the utility room next to the large kitchen. There were no iron pots, so they went to Fucheng and bought three iron pots specifically for making soap liquid.

I was so busy that the twentieth day of the first lunar month passed by before my eyes.

Mingyi squatted in the courtyard of the big kitchen, looking at the sky, nibbling snacks, bored.

Cheng Mingli and Cheng Mingyi were busy making solid soap under the eaves, and were very worried about their sister's condition. "Sister, if you get bored, come over and help brother make soap together."

"I'm not going." He kept his head still and continued to look at the sky.

Cheng Minglian shook his head in amusement, not understanding what was wrong with Mingyi, and joked: "What is Yiyi looking at? Can a flower grow in the sky?"

Mingyi moved her neck, turned around and glanced at him, slightly pursed her lips.

"Yiyi wants to go skating?" Cheng Mingyi asked.

Cheng Mingxin sighed when he heard about skating, "The skates are a bit expensive. If we had the money to buy the skates, we wouldn't have to make soap and sell them."

Cheng Mingzhi glanced at his brother as if he was mentally retarded.

"Brother, what do you think I'm doing?"

"Use your brain. Making soap is not to buy you skates, but to make a living for the family."

Cheng Mingxin looked indifferent, "If I hadn't pestered dad to buy skates, could Yiyi help me think about the soap business?"

"Fourth cousin, a man wants his face and a tree wants his skin. The sky doesn't know how thick the earth is, and the earth doesn't know how high the sky is."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Mingxin looked at Mingyi who was speaking in confusion.

Mingyi looked at the sky again, not wanting to pay attention to him at all.

Cheng Mingzhi and Cheng Mingyi were thinking, but they didn't understand the meaning of her words.

Cheng Minglian didn't think too much and just opened his mouth.

"Yiyi, why are you so difficult to understand when you speak?"

"Is Yiyi scolding me?" Cheng Mingxin had a bad intuition, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Cheng Mingli couldn't help but laugh, and the four brothers' eyes turned to him in unison.

Cheng Mingyi asked: "Why is my little cousin laughing?"

"Nothing!" Cheng Mingli suppressed a smile, and the four of them looked at each other. Cheng Mingzhi was the first to react, "Could it be that my little cousin knows the meaning of Yiyi's words?"

Cheng Mingxin quickly ran over with the mold box and asked while prying it open, "Mingli, tell me what Yiyi means. Who can have the dignity of a tree and the skin of a tree?"

"Really want to know?" Cheng Mingli asked uncertainly, fearing that he would be hit. "I definitely want to know. Not only do I want to know, but my three brothers also want to know." He took it for granted and immediately pulled the three brothers into the water.

Cheng Mingli nodded, "Okay, I'll explain it to you in detail; what Yiyi said is that a person needs face and a tree needs skin, so you don't have to be sentimental automatically. Even if it's not for skates, sooner or later you will come up with the method of making soap. To make money for the family. As for the sky not knowing how deep the earth is, and the earth not knowing how high the sky is, I’m telling you not to have any wishful thinking. This matter will only happen a few days later or a few days sooner.”

Don't get involved in the soap thing with his thing.

She wouldn't bother buying skates for Cheng Mingxin. She had already thought about the soap. She decided to buy it for her family. They definitely didn't have much money and couldn't expect them to hunt to support the family.

Therefore, the family must have a profitable business.

You don’t want to do it in the long term, you must see considerable benefits in the short term.

The two brothers and sisters have been together for a long time, and what they say to each other has been assimilated; Cheng Mingli is deeply affected, and his mind works very fast. He can react quickly to whatever his sister says.

"Am I wishful thinking? Am I automatically passionate?!"

"That's not true." Cheng Mingli didn't beat around the bush with him and spoke bluntly, "My sister always does things in an orderly manner, and she will think about it before doing anything. Do you think she comes up with ideas to make money for the family just for you? Then you are thinking too much. .”

Good deal.

This time the brothers all understood.

Cheng Minglian laughed arrogantly, "Fourth cousin, look at how impressed you are for nothing."

"Third cousin's smile is so ugly, how can I be so moved in vain? When the soap is sold, I will have skates. I don't care what the starting point of the ceremony is, anyway, my skates can be seen." "Cheng Mingxin blushed and bravely attacked him.

"Hahaha." Cheng Minglian didn't argue with him at all, and smiled openly and wantonly.

Cheng Mingyi shook his head and laughed, "We still have to think about what Yiyi said. We can't keep up with her thoughts."

The rhythm is different, and there’s nothing you can do if you can’t keep up.

Cheng Mingzhi nodded and just glanced at Cheng Mingli. He felt that the two children in this family were smart. They were much smarter than them. When they really wanted to curse, none of them could hear what they were saying.

Mingyi didn't listen to their murmurs, her thoughts had already drifted away.

In the next few days, in addition to eating and sleeping, everyone worked non-stop, almost throwing up. They made more than 7,000 pieces of soap, and the pig suet at home was replenished several times, and it has only been used up today.

"Yiyi, we have accumulated so much soap at home. Tomorrow my grandfather will take your father to Fucheng to sell it. If you can sell it faster, tell me about it." Everything is ready and all we need is the east wind, and this east wind is what Cheng Dazhu sees. Come on Mingyi.

Mingyi glanced at the soap piled up in the small kitchen. Each piece was wrapped in oil paper and stacked neatly.

"If you want to sell faster, you can go to restaurants, brothels, inns, restaurants, and grocery stores." That's all she could say.

Cheng Yuanxi thoughtfully said, "There is a large flow of people in these places, so forget about brothels; that place is not suitable for us to go, but other places are fine. There are many guests in restaurants and a large number of cleanings; the same is true for inns; the scale of the hotel is not large enough, and the flow of people is still It's okay, it's a place where ordinary people can go to eat; the grocery store has a complicated business, so we can talk to the boss and see if we can cooperate with him."

After saying this, everyone started thinking about it.

There are more than a dozen grocery stores in the four areas of Fucheng, southeast, northwest.

"Then it can't be just me and the third child. The eldest brother, the second child, Mingyi and Mingzhi will also go. We will go to a few more places that Mingyi said, Mingyi and Mingzhi. Each of you should bring a hundred pieces of soap in your backpack." Let’s go and ask while selling.”

Cheng Dazhu asked how to transport the soap at home, "We have a trolley at home. The boss, second, and third have one cart each, and each of them pushes a cart. If the soap is piled up at home, it is better to sell it early. How much can it be sold at the big market? How much to sell.”

Targeting the several ideas provided by Mingyi, that is the big one.
