"Master, I bought something back."

Not to step into the living room and carry things with difficulty to greet him.

"Order someone to prepare a carriage and take Uncle Cheng home."

As soon as Zhou Ting finished speaking, Cheng Yuanxi said firmly: "Caomin thanked the Master, but Caomin brought a cart, and Caomin's father and brother are also in the city. Caomin can go home with them, so I don't need to trouble you. "

"Alright."

Cheng Yuanxi stood up and said goodbye, "Thank you again for your hospitality, and I will leave."

"No, I'll send the things to Uncle Cheng's car."

"Here."

Unable to catch his breath, he hurriedly followed Cheng Yuanxi out the door. He personally escorted the person outside the palace, carried the roasted whole lamb and steak to the cart, and watched the other person push the cart away before turning around.

"Sir, Mr. Cheng is gone."

"Arrange the people who go to the Western Regions as soon as possible to bring potatoes, corn and other things back as soon as possible. Is there any news about the people sent out?"

Buwei shook his head, "No."

"That's all." Zhou Ting patted his forehead. He was thinking too much and his forehead was tight. "I'll go to Chengjiazhuang tomorrow and order a roast lamb and steak later. I want it early tomorrow morning. If you want it hot and fresh, don't stay overnight. Got it back."

"Well, I know this." He didn't dare to bring back something stale.

Fortunately, that family's barbecue was special, and it was grilled fresh every day; they only grilled fifty pieces every day, and they were gone when they were sold out, so he had to go and place an order early.

Cheng Yuanxi pushed the cart to the city gate, opened the soap cover on the cart, and immediately hawked at the city gate without looking for other members of the Cheng family.

"Soap, sell soap~big and convenient soap, used for laundry, hand washing, and bathing~~"

When the soldiers guarding the city gate heard the shouting, they couldn't help but take a few more glances. They didn't interfere with their duties of guarding the city. They were a little far away and didn't block the way of passers-by, so they didn't move forward to chase them away.

The common people who heard the sound, whether they were entering or leaving the city, would gather to take a look; within a moment, Cheng Yuanxi's stall was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

"Come on, come on, let's take a look at the soap. Should we use soap powder when we take a bath at home?"

"Yes, my family went to the mountains to find the saponins themselves and ground them into powder, saving a lot of copper coins."

"Boss, your soap can be used for laundry, hand washing, and bathing?"

"That's for sure, the effect is good." Cheng Yuanxi confirmed with a smile, "If you have dirty clothes and water by the way, I will take out a piece for you to try on the spot and let you see how good the effect is."

The onlookers were hesitant, and the one who lived near the city gate thought about it and thought it was a bustle. He immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Boss, wait for me for a while, I will go back to get the dirty clothes; I will be back in a quarter of an hour." , don’t leave!”

"Okay, then thank this guest officer for providing everyone with the opportunity to try." Cheng Yuanxi agreed.

The woman who spoke ran back, so fast that it didn't take even a quarter of an hour, and she came back with a small basin of water and a piece of dirty clothes in half of the time.

"Boss, we have dirty clothes and water." The basin filled with water and clothes was put on the trolley.

Cheng Yuanxi's smile remained unchanged, and he handed her a piece of soap, "Sister, try it. Tell me your feelings after you try it."

"Okay." The woman picked up the wet clothes and dug out the areas stained by heavy oil.

Everyone nodded when they saw the degree of oil stain; the stiff piece of cloth showed that it was really dirty and could not be cleaned even with soap powder.

"Put the soap on it, make a lather, and then scrub."

Whatever Cheng Yuanxi said, the woman knew how to do it; she applied a thick layer and rubbed it twice to create lather. The woman raised her head in surprise, and Cheng Yuanxi smiled at her. "Just wash your clothes how you usually wash them."

"Okay."

The woman rubbed her clothes vigorously, and the foam gradually changed color, which was the color of the dirt stained on the clothes after being washed away. The first time she couldn't wash it all off, so the woman followed Cheng Yuanxi's instructions and wiped it twice more before it was completely clean. Cleaned.

After washing, the clothes were dyed with a faint fragrance, not strong or unpleasant.

"Hey, it's really useful. Boss, how much does this soap cost?"

"Ten cents a dollar, one dollar can last about half a month to a month."

After Cheng Yuanxi finished speaking, the woman was overjoyed, "That's great, give me three yuan. I've never seen such a useful thing before; I thought this dress can't be worn out anymore. The thought of being washed so cleanly."

"Okay, I'll give you three pieces, a total of thirty pieces." Cheng Yuanxi handed over three pieces of soap.

The woman wiped her hands on her body, took out her money bag, counted thirty cash and handed it to him, "Boss, where can I sell it to you if I run out of soap in the future?"

"We will sell again tomorrow. From now on, we will definitely come to Fucheng every five days. If you need, you can take a look at the city gate more; sometimes we will go to the north of the city, and sometimes we will sell at the city gate."

"Yes, I'll remember it and I'll buy it from you next time." The woman responded with a smile.

Cheng Yuanxi smiled and nodded, "Then next time you come to take care of my business, the piece you used will be given to you."

"Really? The boss is very generous."

The woman poured the water out of the basin, put the used soap and clothes on one side of the basin, and the three pieces she bought on the other side, without interfering with each other. Then, she carried the basin and walked out of the crowd, not forgetting as she walked. As a favor to a bar of soap, please help spread the word.

"This thing is so good. I won't have to worry about dirty clothes at home anymore."

As soon as the woman left, the onlookers, all those with some financial means, gathered around the stall.

"Boss, give me two dollars, too."

"I want three dollars."

"I want a piece."

"I want four dollars."

There were so many customers that there was not enough soap left on the trolley to sell.

Seeing that the last bar of soap was sold, there were still many people waiting around. Cheng Yuanxi couldn't ask them to stop crowding, so he could only say: "I'm sorry, the soap in my car is sold out. If you don't mind, If you are waiting, just wait with me, there are people in my family selling soap in the city, wait for them to come over and see if they still have it."

"If you are in a hurry, you can leave first. We will come back tomorrow. We will bring more tomorrow. Thank you for your consideration."

Business people pay attention to harmony and wealth. Cheng Yuanxi, with his good education, makes the guests feel comfortable even if he does not have the nature of a businessman.

"Then I'll leave first. I have something urgent at home. I don't know if I can meet you next time I come to Fucheng."

"If you don't come to Fucheng often, you can go to Chengjiazhuang next to Yuzhuang to find me; my surname is Cheng, and my name is Cheng Yuanxi. When you get to Chengjiazhuang, you will know where to find me as soon as you ask."

"Okay, I'll go to your house to buy it tomorrow."

"I'm fine. It doesn't hurt to wait here."

"I'm fine, just wait. If you don't buy two pieces of such a good soap, you'll be at a loss."
