Chapter 70 The advent of soap
Xu Qingying actually wants to use the Fang family the most. They are well-educated, sensible, obedient, and easy to use. Unfortunately, the old man of the Fang family is obviously showing signs of recovery, so it is naturally difficult for him to get involved in business affairs.

During the conversation with Qian Zhenniang that day, Xu Qingying finally managed to cultivate two loyal people, so she naturally wanted to make the best use of them.

Qian Zhenniang has a soft temper and is still a little unable to stand up, so she needs some time to slowly train her.

But Feng'er was courageous and quick-thinking. Perhaps because of his relationship with a weak master, his personality was rather aggressive.

Therefore, Xu Qingying brought Feng'er with her this time, hoping that she could see more of the world, broaden her horizons, and become independent more quickly.

But Xu Qingying was still upset. There were still too few people available. Whenever she needed people, she always felt stretched.

Especially for this soap business, she didn't have to worry about money, but she could only use the manpower from Team Leader Zhao.

But Bantou Zhao will go back when he arrives in Qianzhou, so she must cultivate her confidants as soon as possible, otherwise she will not be able to do anything else.

It's a pity that the ones in the big room can't stand up. The first cousin Xu Huijia likes to cheat and play tricks at work, but also has a glib tongue.

The second cousin was very pedantic in reading, and he was so pedantic that he was told to leave by just opening his mouth.

The third cousin is about the same age as her, and seems to be a little impulsive in doing things, but it's hard to tell yet.

As for those in the second bedroom, given the power struggle between her and Xu Deyuan, it was best not to move.

As for the fourth bedroom, Xu Anping is a personal choice. He has a calm temperament and is more meticulous in his work. Maybe he can be cultivated?

The Xu family didn't know it yet, but Xu Qingying had already evaluated all their labor and value.

The group of troops divided into several groups, and Xu Qingying led the team to Henan Prefecture. When she saw the towering city gate of Henan Prefecture and the three characters "Henan Prefecture" with gold trim, Xu Qingying couldn't help feeling aroused in her heart.

Today, she finally accepted her fate.

She is no longer Xu Zhenying, but Xu Qingying of the Zhou Dynasty.

No matter where she is, no matter what her status is, she will not live up to Old Man Xu's expectations, and she will live a good life.

Feng'er looked at Xu Qingying from time to time.

Xu Qingying had naturally observed Feng'er and saw that although she was a maid from a small family, she knew how to advance and retreat, and had a bold and cautious personality. In this situation, she was not like other people who wandered around and looked around, so she was really a good prospect.

But at this moment she seemed to hesitate to speak.

Xu Qingying asked: "Ask if you have anything. Don't be afraid. I like people who ask questions to prove that they are thinking."

Feng'er stopped being coy and said, "Girl, since we are here to sell soap, why do we only bring two pieces of soap? How will customers know how good our products are? If we come across something we sincerely want to buy, we can't bring it out on the spot. What should I do with the goods?”

Xu Qingying said with a smile: "You should observe this issue for now, and you will know it in the evening."

Feng'er agreed, but she was murmuring in her heart.

She has also seen other people selling things. People like them who have no connections can only sell things on the street. Why is Miss Xu Liu's method different from others?
What's more, 6000 yuan of soap filled a carriage. How could such an accumulated amount of goods be emptied in one day?
Not to mention Feng'er, even those who followed Xu Qingying into the city were in panic.

The initial joy faded away, and everyone began to feel anxious as they watched a carriage of soap.

Everyone is thinking, what if this doesn't sell?
But seeing Xu Qingying calm and unhurried one by one, they gradually became less panicky.

At this point, there is no way out, just do it and it’s over!

"Team leader, Miss Xu!" The group of people walked to the city gate, and someone was already there to greet them.Ming Xiaoshuang was assigned by Xu Qingying to investigate the situation in Henan Mansion two days ago. At this moment, he ran over wearing regular clothes, saluted to Team Leader Zhao, and reported the situation in the city with a happy face.

"Team leader, Miss Xu, I have checked the situation in the entire Henan Prefecture in the past two days and found that almost most of the grocery stores and rouge shops in the city already know about soap, but no one has seen what soap looks like with their own eyes. I also inquired privately, saying that the rumor came from Pingyang County, and now it has been spread that soap is a royal item in the palace, and only a few noble ladies can afford it. Moreover, this soap has been blown away There are things in the sky and on the earth. It is said that the wife of the governor has come to ask if there is such a thing several times. Now these people are like flies asking about soap. I can guarantee that as soon as our goods enter the city, they will definitely Everything was robbed!”

Everyone cheered, not expecting to hear such good news just after entering the city. Team leader Zhao swept away the worry on his face, looked at Xu Qingying with joy, and suppressed his heart beating wildly, "Miss Xu, this That’s good news!”

Xu Qingying nodded, "This is taking advantage of the information gap. News from the Zhou Dynasty lags behind, and people are used to spreading lies, and even these falsehoods can become true. By the way, tell me about the situation in the city, which shopkeeper is worthy of our cooperation? "

Ming Xiaoshuang hurriedly told all the details he had found out. It turned out that there were dozens of large and small grocery stores in Henan Province, but the largest ones were Fengqige and Zhaoji Grocery.Ming Xiaoshuang personally prefers Zhao Ji because the quality of Zhao Ji's goods is good, the owner is said to have money, and his reputation has always been good.

Seeing that the two of them were almost done talking, Feng'er whispered: "Girl, is this the hype you mentioned before?"

Leader Zhao suddenly patted his head, as if he was a bit belated, and now looked at Xu Qingying in awe, "No wonder Miss Xu only promoted and did not sell when she was in Pingyang County. She waited for these rumors to ferment. , stir up our soap to the sky!"

Xu Qingying smiled and said meaningfully, "Sometimes if you cover up the news and let it fly, you can get twice the result with half the effort."

Ming Xiaoshuang also hurriedly flattered: "Miss Xu is really strategizing. Even if she is not in Henan Prefecture, she can still set off a storm of soap buying in Henan Prefecture!"

Leader Zhao finally couldn't help it this time, and pulled the person back, "What are you waiting for? Let them bring the soap into the city to sell it. It would be a pity to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Xiao Shuang, we are going to make a fortune——"

"Don't worry. Our identity is sensitive. The introduction of large quantities of soap into the market will inevitably cause panic and make buyers doubt the source of the goods." Xu Qingying stopped Team Leader Zhao, who immediately sobered up from his frenzy.

Yes, they are exiled prisoners after all. The introduction of soap into the market will definitely attract the attention of interested people. If they are followed and investigated, wouldn't everything be exposed?

Leader Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the calm Xu Qingying, and suddenly felt that his life for decades had been in vain, and he was not as calm as a little girl.

But then I thought about it, is Xu Qingying's movie about an ordinary girl?

This is not a girl, she is clearly a money-splitting boy!
If Xu Qingying hadn't been a girl and an exiled prisoner, Team Leader Zhao would have really wanted to have a good fight with her!
Xu Degui said: "That's true. Qingying, do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course there is a way. But..." Xu Qingying looked at Ming Xiaoshuang with a smile and hesitated, "I just have to aggrieve Mr. Xiaoshuang."

Before Zhao Ban could say anything, Ming Xiaoshuang had already slapped her chest, "Miss Xu, what do you call me Guanye? You don't have to call me Shengfen. How many years am I older than you? Just call me Xiaoshuang." Brother, I feel uncomfortable when you call me Guan Ye. I always feel like I’m going to be struck by lightning the next moment.” Xiaoshuang’s words made everyone laugh.

But some people marveled at Xu Qingying's ability.

It had only been a few days, but the entire relief team had gathered together like their own private army, and every one of them just wanted to go through fire and water for her.

"Besides, it's a great honor to serve Miss Xu. All of our escorts are jealous. How can I say I'm wronged?!"

Xu Qingying smiled, "In that case, I won't be polite."

Xu Qingying whispered a few words to Ming Xiaoshuang, who made Ming Xiaoshuang's eyes roll. Then Xu Qingying patted his shoulder and said, "Go. Bring soap and remember to wear more clothes."

Ming Xiaoshuang cupped his fists and accepted the order and left.

For some reason, Team Leader Zhao actually envied Ming Xiaoshuang at this moment.

In the largest grocery store in Henan Prefecture, there was not much business because it was morning.Shopkeeper Wang lay leisurely on the chaise longue, sipping tea, putting a piece of pastry into his throat, and then let out a sigh of comfort.

Soon, the boy who was sent to run errands came back dripping with sweat. Before he had time to drink tea, shopkeeper Wang pulled him over and asked with a stern look on his face: "How are you doing? How is the situation?"

"Forget it, I've asked several surrounding counties, and no one has seen that soap. Shopkeeper, could it be fake news?"

Shopkeeper Wang hit the boy on the head with a fan and cursed: "Bullshit, I can tell you exactly what that thing looks like. Someone must have seen it. You don't understand. I heard that that thing costs four or five taels." A piece of silver, how can ordinary people afford it, and how can ordinary people have access to it? If we don't be vigilant, if this soap is overtaken by Fengqige opposite, the boss will have our heads! "

"But is that soap really so magical?"

"You don't care if it's magical or not. It doesn't matter whether the thing itself is valuable or not. What's important is that the ladies think it's valuable. Then even if it's stinky shit, you still have to sell it for a sky-high price! What do rich people want? , let’s just sell whatever—”

The boy also knew that the matter was of great importance, "Some people say that soap came from the capital. How about we send someone to the capital to have a look? Maybe there will be good news!"

The two of them were whispering when they suddenly saw a figure sneaking his head outside.

Shopkeeper Wang thought he was a guest and was about to greet him with a smile when he saw that the man was dressed slovenly and looked sneaky. He looked around from time to time as if someone was chasing him.

Shopkeeper Wang's heart skipped a beat. He was most afraid of encountering trouble when doing business.As if facing a formidable enemy, he winked at a few boys and was about to drive the person out of the door, but the person had already rushed in quickly, lifted up his clothes at him, and lowered his voice and yelled: "Shopkeeper, do you want to accept the soap?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked shocked, but his eyes were already staring at the thing in his arms.

I saw that they were two pieces of jade paste as big as a palm, and the whole body was as transparent as snow. Shopkeeper Wang wanted to take a closer look, but the man had already taken it away and packed it up. He said in a panic: "Shopkeeper, this is soap." , it came from the capital and has been sold for three taels of silver. Do you want it?"

Shopkeeper Wang's heart skipped a beat. Just when he was talking about soap, soap appeared.

The boy beside him didn't care about anything else, and secretly pulled the shopkeeper Wang frantically.

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes flashed, and he wanted to take it immediately, but the man's talk made him hesitate, so he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Soap, I've seen it before, it's not a rare thing——"

"Okay, if you don't want it, I'll go take a look at Fengqi Pavilion next to it."

It turned out that shopkeeper Wang thought that this person had an unknown origin and had to pretend to be a bit pretentious. Unexpectedly, the person left immediately, wrapped up the soap and ran out, as if he was being chased by someone.

Shopkeeper Wang quickly winked at the boy, and several boys stepped forward to block the man's way.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man trembled and said: "You...what do you want to do?!"

"Oh, little brother, why are you in such a hurry? This business always needs to be negotiated slowly. You are so anxious, could it be that you did not get the soap through legitimate channels?"

"You fart, I brought this soap from the capital. I have bought all the soap produced in the capital. Do you dare to say this is fake?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the man's evasive expression and felt a little confident.

This person's things were probably stolen from somewhere.

No wonder there was no soap flowing out of Henan Mansion. It turned out that all the soap was taken away——

This man is so generous!
"Okay, it's business. As long as it's good, I don't care where your stuff comes from. At worst, I'll turn a blind eye, but you have to let me inspect the goods first."

The man seemed to hesitate, but after thinking about it, he only took out one piece and handed it over, "Okay, you can inspect the goods here, hurry up!!"

"Okay. Go get a basin of water." Taking advantage of this gap, shopkeeper Wang immediately began to tell the news, "How much soap does the little brother have in his hand? I bought them all."

"There's not much left, just these two pieces!"

Shopkeeper Wang had sharp eyes, but said with a smile: "Did you steal it?"

The man puffed up his chest and said, "Why are you asking these questions? Hurry up and inspect the goods! If you keep dilly-dallying, I'm leaving!"

"Hey, don't worry." A boy brought a basin of water. The use of soap has been spread to pieces, but in short it is for washing things. It can be used to wash your face, hands and clothes.

Shopkeeper Wang first squeezed a little oil onto his hands, then dipped them in water, and then washed his hands with soap. Rich and soft foam suddenly appeared, and his hands felt extremely tender and smooth.

Even the boy on one side couldn't suppress his exclamation!

This wash is so clean!
The more shopkeeper Wang washed, the more frightened he became. If he thought soap was a bit of a myth before, but now that he used it, shopkeeper Wang's many years of experience immediately told him that soap would change the entire Zhou Dynasty! !

He couldn't help but tremble, but he washed slower and slower, while his mind was making crazy calculations.

I learned from this kid that someone in the capital produced a batch of soap, but someone bought it all.So where is this man, and where is he going to sell the soap?
If he could get to know this person, he would be willing to spend more money to buy it from him. If he couldn't buy it, he would send out his boss, even if it means robbing him!
 There is an update tonight
