I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 278 Hot Soap
"Wow, look, my hands are really clean, and they're still very smooth after washing..."

The person who tried it first showed his hand to everyone, and said while showing it,
"It's so miraculous, no wonder it came out of the palace, it's such a treasure!"

After two experiments, the spectators finally understood the usefulness of this thing.

Someone couldn't help but said enthusiastically,
"Brother, you just said that this thing was handed down from the palace, isn't that very expensive!"

The guy in charge of publicity saw that someone had already started asking about the price, and knew that their desire to buy had already arisen.

Hastily said,

"The empress said that this thing is specially given to the people of the world to relieve the pressure on the women.

Therefore, this item only charges basic material and manufacturing costs, and each piece is only sold for [-] cents! "

Fifty words are not expensive, and cheap is actually not too cheap.

In this era, even the average monthly income of ordinary people in the capital is less than two taels, that is, two thousand yuan.

Even if calculated on the basis of [-] renminbi a month, he would only earn about [-] renminbi a day.

And the fifty coins are needed to feed a family.

Hearing that this palm-sized piece of cleansing soap costs fifty cents a piece, many people immediately retreated.

The guy probably also expected this situation.

Quickly said, "Do you still think it's too expensive?"

"Of course it's expensive. This palm-sized piece is neither edible nor drinkable. Fifty Wen is too expensive."

The guy explained calmly,

"The reason why you think it's expensive is because you haven't really recognized the preciousness of this thing."

"Then I will explain it to you again."

"First of all, this thing was bestowed by the queen empress to the women of the world, just for this, isn't it worth ten cents!

Secondly, although this thing is small, if it is used sparingly, it will be enough for a month.

Calculated, the daily cost is only more than one penny, less than two pennies.

Furthermore, I believe you all know how much time this item can save in washing clothes.

After saving so much time, no matter what to do again, wouldn’t it be possible to earn back the penny or two! "

After some explanation of this job, everyone was a little moved.

"Yes, with this thing, it would take half a day to wash clothes once.

But now it only takes less than an hour to finish, which really saves a lot of time! "

"Based on this, fifty Wen is really not expensive!"

Someone felt sorry for his wife, and immediately said,
"A mere fifty renminbi is just a day's wages. If you can use a day's wages, you can get a lady who doesn't have to work so hard for a month. It's really worth it! I want one of these things."

Seeing that some people started to buy it, those women who came out with their husbands thought about it, and felt that this good thing that can save a lot of time is simply too cost-effective.

So he pestered his husband and said,

"You see, everyone knows that they love their own wife. If you don't buy it for me, then you can wash all the clothes at home, and my wife won't serve you anymore."

Those husbands who could bear this kind of threat quickly said,

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you, and I'll buy it for you for my husband!"

There was also a woman who learned that this thing was made by the empress who was sympathetic to all the women in the world, she was so grateful that she almost burst into tears on the spot.

"The empress made this specially for us, even if it wasn't for the daily hard work.

But we can't live up to the whole heart of the empress, I want this thing too. "

The scene suddenly became hot amid the fermenting of everyone's sentences.

"Isn't it just fifty cents? At worst, I'll just go to work while I'm resting. I bought it!"

Those who watched the fun were not only ordinary people, but also many wealthy families who were not short of money at all.

Someone saw that there seemed to be more exquisitely packaged soap in the store, so they couldn't help asking curiously,

"What are those? They're also soaps!"

At this moment, the man quietly pulled the interrogator aside, and whispered,

"The guest officer has really good eyesight. To be honest, although those inside are also a kind of clean soap, they have another name called 'fragrant soap'."

"Soap, what is that!"

"Soap, as the name suggests, is clean soap with a scent!"

"It has a fragrance. Are you joking? Things that are used for cleaning can also have a fragrance."

The guy was not angry when he saw that he didn't believe it, but explained to him with a smile,
"I don't blame you, you don't believe it, but the ones sold outside are not authentic palace supplies at all, but defective products that have been deleted, otherwise how could they be sold so cheaply!

And the soap is the authentic product used by the imperial court! "

Hearing what the man said, this man who can be regarded as a little bit of money immediately believed most of it.

I thought to myself, "I am also a person of status, how can I use the same things as ordinary people!"

"I don't know the price of this soap!"

"It's not expensive, it's only two taels of silver!"

The man thought that the guy was trying to trick him, so he shouted excitedly,

"What, two taels is not expensive! That's dozens of times more than ordinary soap!"

The guy hastily interrupted him,

"Guest officer, you get what you pay for, you have to know, how can there be cheap things that are used in the palace.

Besides, our kind of soap really has a fragrance, it's not a literal rhetoric.

If you take a shower with it, it will keep you smelling good all day long.

As for the price of the spices, you know the price in your heart, a good sachet costs five taels of silver.

With less than half of the money, you can get a whole body of fragrance for a month or two. Isn't that expensive! "

The man thought for a while, and suddenly became a little moved.

"Bathing with it will really have a refreshing fragrance!"

The guy quickly asked someone to bring a piece of soap and handed it to him,

"Guest officer, if you don't believe me, you can experiment on the spot."

As he spoke, he helped him open the box of soap.

The moment the box was opened, a fresh fragrance rushed into the man's nostrils.

"Hmm... smells good, it really smells good."

After washing his hands twice with water mixed with soap, the man put his hands under his nose to smell, and sure enough there was still a strong fragrance left on his hands.

He suddenly said excitedly, "It really is a good thing, it is indeed something used in the palace!"

"Here, this is two taels, I want this thing!"

After buying the soap happily, the man ran towards his home impatiently.

While walking, I thought, "The last time I went to Yihonglou, I was disliked by Xiao Taohong for my smell, which made her boss unhappy. Let's see what she has to say this time."
