Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 404 Qujiang Tea Party 2
"Papapa..." The sound of slapping faces came to mind in the hearts of those present, but the ladies who were actually slapped turned their faces away and said in a low voice, "These are really good cities. ,Humph……"

At this time, another sedan chair was put down, and a woman came out carelessly, glanced at everyone, and immediately scolded the bearer: "You guys, I tell you to go fast, go slowly!" Cursing, the woman walked away. When he arrived in front of Concubine Wan Gui, he reluctantly made a bow, saw Xun Xueer and the others, and asked to squeeze together with them.

Those who read the joke became interested again, who is this?It's Cheng Yaojin's wife, and so is Cheng Tiehuan.This is a talent who can rob houses on Zhuque Street. His wife is afraid to avoid him. Now that she has her eye on Xun Xueer's seat, isn't that a good show?

But they didn't expect that Xun Xue'er just smiled, looked at Xu Qi, and said to the visitor: "Mrs. Cheng, come here, please sit here?"

Xu Qi was sensible, so she hurriedly gave up her seat, stood aside, and occasionally sat on Huang Shimei's body.But Mrs. Cheng sat obediently next to Xun Xueer, preferring to sit at the same table, without any complaints.

"Well, it's Mrs. Cheng here, right?" A noble lady quietly asked her companion, who replied, "Yes, it's Mrs. Cheng, but Mrs. Cheng seems a little weird today, what's going on?" ?”

Before everyone could figure out the situation, Concubine Wan Gui coughed and said, "Everyone, today's tea party is to make up for the failure of the last time."

Those imperial concubines, Xun Xueer and the others also stood up and returned: "Thank you for your kindness..."

"I invite everyone to come here today. In addition to drinking tea and enjoying the spring scenery, there are actually some rare things for everyone to see." Concubine Wan Gui picked up a piece of soap wrapped in floral paper on the table and said: "Everyone also has a piece of soap on the table. Such a thing, this thing is called Xianzao, and it was invited from the fairy mountain in the East China Sea."

"Oh?" Everyone picked up the little soap on their table and looked at it.

Concubine Wan Gui told the origin of this soap, what kind of fairy, all in one brain, but Xu Qing quietly missed this part.Everyone heard that the soap was amazing, and they couldn't help being clouded. Finally, Concubine Wan Gui said: "This thing is a bath bean for bathing, but it can leave fragrance on the body and last for many days, just like holding a sachet."

Everyone was amazed and asked Concubine Wan Gui how to use it.At this time, the eunuchs brought a basin of clean water and put it on everyone's table.Concubine Wan Gui demonstrated the method of using soap on her case, and everyone imitated cats and tigers and wiped their hands with soap.

Seeing Concubine Wan Gui's washing hands covered with bubbles at the beginning, those noble ladies were already eager to try it, and now they are even more delighted when they wash themselves.Smelling the fragrance in his hands, he couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of bath beans is really easy to use, even more fragrant than the sachet I prepared."

"Well, that's right. Although mine has a weaker scent than the sachet, if you wash your whole body, it will definitely have an extraordinary effect."

After everyone finished washing, they looked at their own hands, which were cleaner than before. Because of the fragrance, the ladies held their hands and looked at them non-stop, and could not smell enough.Seeing this, Concubine Wan Gui smiled and said, "Big fellow, do you think these things are useful?"

All the noble ladies put down their palms and thanked one after another: "Thank you, Concubine Gui."

Some people also said: "It's just a pity, this thing is so precious, we can only see this side, after today, I can't find it anywhere."

Hearing this, all the noble ladies sighed, and some people said: "If this thing is sold in the market, and this nail is bigger, I would also like to buy it with a tael of gold. It's a pity that there is no market for the price."

Everyone nodded. For noble ladies like them, they usually stay at home without leaving the door, and their husbands are not interested in them, so they just take care of their sons, and it is a bit fun to scold the servants.If there is any more fun, it is to dress up, rouge, gouache, etc., and spend a lot of money without blinking an eye.

Hearing this, Concubine Wan Gui was overjoyed, coughed lightly and said: "I just said that the key to this fairy soap lies in the fairy bath bean tree, and the fairy bath bean grows in this mortal soil, and it needs too much to consume. A lot, but the harem is running out of money, so there is no way to give it enough fertilizer."

"Oh? That is to say, the bath beans can be produced more and grow faster?" Everyone asked, "Imperial Concubine, what else do these bath beans need to grow?"

Concubine Wan Gui put on a show and sighed: "This bath bean needs to use pearls far away in the South China Sea as fertilizer, but these pearls are not bad, there are many in the harem. But the things of immortals are naturally more demanding, so they can only be used from the sea. Dig out real pearls that are not older than one month, and use the honey of a hundred flowers as a primer, so that they can grow faster and produce more knots."

The people present gasped, everyone knew where the South China Sea was.The land of Guangdong and Guangxi is already a notoriously smoggy place, with no human habitation for more than ten miles. From where in the South China Sea is it necessary to pass the pearls, and it will take a month. The money spent on it is more than tens of thousands?

But the treasure that is right in front of you, how can you let it disappear?The hearts of all the noble ladies froze, and someone took the lead and said: "Imperial concubine, how much does this soap need to cost to produce more. The harem is tight on money, and the concubines are willing to use their own private money to help with it, just tell me!"

"That's right, Concubine Wan Gui is in charge of the harem. She must not be willing to do such a waste of people and money. Why don't you let us help you?"

"As long as Concubine Wan Gui can make fairy soap, and everyone uses it, why do you still care about the private money?"

"Concubine Wan Gui, just speak."

Concubine Wan Gui pursed her lips and smiled: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will tell you the truth. This two tael-sized soap can be used for two months, but it also costs an average of 50 tael. Stop it, it’s really too big.”

"Only 50 taels?" Everyone whispered to each other: "It's not expensive, but 50 taels, everyone can afford it."

"Why is the imperial concubine still short of 50 taels? Could it be, could it be that what the imperial concubine said was 50 taels of gold!"

Concubine Wan Gui slightly nodded her head and said: "That's right, but well, it's not enough to feed this fairy tree too much, and it has to be fed enough to produce more. People present, 50 taels is actually not enough, 80 taels is enough. But, if everyone If the sisters can ask a few more people to come out and share the money, wouldn't it be less?"

Huang Shimei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help nodding in her heart, Jiang is still old and spicy.In this way, the source of customers is expanded, and there is no need to design tea parties to attract people like today.What kind of fairy tree and what kind of pearls are just made up by Concubine Wan Gui temporarily. How much money will be charged at that time, isn't it just arbitrarily determined?

The rest of the ladies also agreed with Concubine Wan Gui's words and nodded in agreement.
