Queen Mother's A Scientist

"Is the girl asking about these pancreatic soaps?" The salesman took a piece of brown gray pancreatic soap and said, "there are big and small, big fifty Wen and small thirty Wen."

Hua Qingxue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that pancreatic soap would be so expensive. A small piece would cost 30 Wen.

The salesman saw the surprise in her expression, smiled and said, "if the girl wants, I can sell it cheaper and reduce it by five Wen, but it can't be lower. It's not cheap when receiving goods."

Hua Qingxue nodded clearly, took a piece of pancreatic soap and put it in his hand to have a careful look.

In this era, there was no soap and washing powder. Ordinary people mainly used alkaline earth, soap pods and pancreas.

Pancreas is a kind of washing product made of pig pancreas and plant ash. Because pancreas contains lipase and protease, it is very similar to modern enzyme added washing powder. It can be regarded as an ancient enzyme added low foam multifunctional detergent, which is relatively high-grade.

Rich people will also use those pancreatic soaps mixed with osmanthus and roses. They have a fragrance and are very fashionable.

"I have some pancreatic soap at home. It's better than this. Do you accept it?" Hua Qingxue asked.

The salesman looked puzzled. "That's not a coincidence. There are enough pancakes this time. Girl, you know, these pancakes are not as easy to sell as those snacks. Ordinary people don't use them. Otherwise, I'll buy one and use it for many months. I don't know when I can sell it out."

Snacks will be bought in three or two days if they taste good, but soap can't be bought every day even if it's easy to use.

Hua Qingxue understood this reason. She asked casually. She was not much disappointed when she was rejected. She smiled and burned the remaining gongs to the merchant.

After selling out of gongs, crispy egg rolls and popcorn were soon sold out, and there was still a lot of tea left.

Hua Qingxue sighed. It seems that it is unrealistic to open a beverage store in ancient times, which is closely related to the consumption concept of the times.

The business of gongs, crispy egg rolls and popcorn can not be done for a long time, because there is not much butter, and the border between Daqi and Daliao is unstable, and there will be conflicts from time to time. Herdsmen in the northwest rarely come, and the scope of activities of tourists in Daqi is greatly limited. When they want to buy butter again, they don't know

Alas, she's going to find another way.

Hua Qingxue took the stall home and checked the butter.

At the beginning, there was only one small piece of butter like two bricks. In fact, it also shows that her snack business is too good. Otherwise, the consumption of butter would not be so fast.

Hua Qingxue tried to make a pot of popcorn without butter.

Only white sugar is added. The sweet and crisp ones are also delicious, but they are less mellow and rich, and some are light.

Sure enough, I can't do without butter

Forget it, just keep these for yourself.

Hua Qingxue returns to her room. In one corner of the room are all kinds of porcelain bowls, which are made in Renqiu before.

After so long, these handmade soaps are almost cooked and can be cut——

She took a knife and cut the soap to a uniform size.

A total of more than 30 pieces have been cut, and there are still many leftover materials. These can not be wasted and can be sent out as gifts.

However, it's a little too casual to sell directly. Huaqingxue decided to buy some materials on the street tomorrow and pack it a little.

The next day, Hua Qingxue went shopping.

She went to the grocery store where she bought butter last time to try her luck. As she had judged before, she had not purchased goods from herdsmen for a long time because of the tense border situation.

Hua Qingxue is disappointed, but she can only accept the reality. She bought a knife of plain white grass leaf paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the grocery store and was ready to go back.

As a result, I was surprised to find several stalls selling popcorn on the road.

Popcorn is easy to make. If you eat it a few times and find that there is corn in the popcorn, you can easily guess the method. It will be learned sooner or later.

Hua Qingxue bought a small bag and tasted it - well, it only added white sugar, no butter, and the smell was a lot worse.

Also, she can't buy butter, and others probably can't, or they don't know how to add butter at all.

Hua Qingxue strolled for a while and found that they also sold gongs. They didn't find crispy egg rolls. Presumably, they didn't have a custom-made pan?

It's hard to do business. After all, the food she's cooking now is relatively simple. It's easy to guess whether it's formula or practice.

But complex eating

Well, she has a recipe for a tiramisu cake? Hehe, a clever woman can't make bricks without rice!

——And she is really not a clever woman. She has tried this simplest dessert many times and dared to sell it after she was proficient

Hua Qingxue can only place her hope on that pile of handmade soap now.

……

After the Lantern Festival is the market day of Panshui City, which lasts for seven days. It is the busiest time in Panshui city after the new year.

Hua Qingxue got up before dawn to work in the kitchen for this day.

Aunt he also got up earlier than usual. They met their heads in the kitchen, smiled, and then worked hard.

Aunt he still makes all kinds of steamed buns.

There are many people going to the market. Not only people from nearby villages will come to the city, but also many vendors. These people are too busy doing business to eat. They are generally willing to buy some steamed buns to satisfy their hunger.

Hua Qingxue cooked tea first, then made popcorn, crispy egg rolls and gongs with the little butter left. Finally, she took her soap and pulled the scooter out.

Before she went out to set up a stall, she always borrowed aunt he's scooter. After a long time, she thought she was cheeky. Now she's looking for a carpenter to make this scooter.

A wooden pole is added on the left and right sides of the new scooter, which can be erected or put away. Pulling a piece of cloth on the wooden pole is a sign, which is very convenient.

Today, aunt Cao is away. During the Chinese new year, aunt Cao took her family back to her mother's house and won't come back until next month.

Hua Qingxue used aunt Cao's stall to start business.

As the sun rises, there are more and more people in the street. This is huaqingxue's first time to participate in the market. It feels very fresh and the flow of people is very large! Ten times more than usual!

Most importantly, these people are here to buy things!

Usually, even if there are people on the street, they don't necessarily buy things, but the purpose of the people going to the market is very simple, all of them are: buy, buy, buy!

Hua Qingxue's first experience of receiving money is soft!

The food in her stall sells very fast. Even the tea that few people usually care about sells dozens of bowls of tea every penny!

There were also many people watching her soap.

Hua Qingxue's soap is much more beautiful in appearance than the pancreas we are used to now.

Creamy yellow, smooth and greasy, without any sundries, it is placed squarely on the grass leaf paper, just like cakes.

Because other things Hua Qingxue sells are food, many people regard soap as snacks. After Hua Qingxue explained, everyone was surprised and asked the price.

Hua Qingxue actually has no business mind and is confused about pricing. It can be seen from her selling popcorn and Causeway. The butter is almost gone, and she has not thought about raising the price, let alone selling formulas to restaurants in the past.

This time when she was selling soap, she thought that the pancreas there was thirty Wen, so she also said thirty Wen.

After all, it's something I haven't seen before. Although it looks good, I don't know how to use it. In addition, the price is not cheap. Ordinary people are naturally unwilling to spend money on it.

Hua Qingxue didn't take it to heart. She took out the leftover material cut before and gave it as a gift to the guests who asked about soap.

"Feel good and buy again." She said with a soft smile.

Hua Qingxue is gentle and easy to make people feel good. An aunt who often comes to visit trusted her very much. After taking the gift, she paid for a piece of soap.

When the sun was about to set, the food and tea on huaqingxue stall had been sold out.

Only one piece of soap was sold, and all the leftover gifts were sent out

Aunt he looked at her and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, "you are too solid eyed. They sent so many gifts. Who will buy them?"

Originally, pancreatic soap belongs to the kind you buy once and use for a long time.

Hua Qingxue smiled indifferently, "I'll try again."

……

Fu tingye was lovesick in the barracks.

Holding Hua Qingxue's comb in his hand, he slowly rubbed it and thought: what is that woman doing now

They have been separated for almost half a month. Why don't they have any news?

... she is so shy that even if she wants to express herself, she may have scruples

Fu tingye thought of her timid and delicate appearance in his arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help laughing.

Well, he's a man. Is it hard to argue with his own woman about this? If she's embarrassed, he'll take the initiative.

Fu tingye pondered for a moment, went to the table, waved ink and wrote a letter.

"Someone!"

The soldiers outside the door raised the curtain and saluted with fists.

"Send this letter out at once." Fu tingye handed him the letter.

"Yes!"

The soldier took the letter and was ordered to step down.

It happened that Qin Laowu came in angrily——

He was about to speak, but he saw Fu tingye laughing in front of him!

Laugh?!

Will King Fu Yan laugh?

Maybe he's dazzled!

Qin Laowu was even more surprised to see Fu tingye holding a woman's comb in his hand! Staring at Fu tingye, he suddenly forgot what he was doing!

Fu tingye glanced at Qin Laowu standing in the tent in a daze, frowned unhappily, put the wooden comb into his arms, and scolded: "Why are people marching and fighting in a trance? Like what! "

Qin Laowu: I'll go! Are you sure you're talking about me?! Who is in a trance? Hey!

Fu tingye said in a deep voice, "what's up?"

Qin Laowu returned to his senses, straightened his face, and said solemnly, "there is a team of Liao soldiers wandering around five miles away from here. We suspect they are the forward spies of Liao people."

Fu tingye's eyes showed disdain and disgust. He coldly ordered: "take five hundred Hussars to suppress them."
