Chapter 146: Abacus beads broke on the face

Camellia has a strong fragrance, but when mixed with goat milk, it has a unique flavor. The flavors of the two are neutralized together, and the taste is elegant but not heavy.

Use it for washing hands and bathing, it can leave a long-lasting fragrance on the skin.

Because almond oil and goat milk are both moisturizing to the skin, the almond oil repeatedly soaked in camellia has been completely assimilated by the fragrance of camellia.

Su Wan felt that selling it at twenty-five cents a piece was already too cheap on the market, and he should add another five cents.

Floral-scented goat milk soap is originally a mid-to-high-end product. Ordinary goat milk soap and dyed ones are enough for washing clothes.

This floral fragrance series is mainly for moisturizing, cleansing hands and bathing.

So, after seeing the boss lady's reaction, Su Wan changed his mind temporarily.

She has to pay interest of twenty-five cents a piece.

"This is great. I'll keep a few for myself. I wonder how much the Goddess of Wealth wants for it?"

The boss lady immediately fell in love with this camellia goat milk soap and wanted to keep a few pieces for herself.

"Thirty cents, please. This soap took a lot of work, so the price can't be too low. I'll take twenty-five cents, and you'll make five cents a piece."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

The boss lady doesn't bargain anymore, as long as she can make some profit, it's fine.

She immediately went to calculate the silver cost of these soaps. One hundred and fifty pieces of the first generation goat milk soap were eighteen taels, one hundred and fifty pieces of dyed goat milk soap were twenty-four taels, and the new camellia goat milk soap was twenty-five taels, totaling sixty-seven taels.

Including the deposit she received before, the proprietress can make about fifteen or sixteen taels, which is pretty good.

"This camellia and goat milk soap is limited to 100 yuan. It will be gone once it's sold out. Camellia is out of season and we have no raw materials. But next time, I will release a 100-yuan camellia-scented hair soap, and also a peach-scented one. You can spread the word first. The price is 38 cents a piece. First come, first served. You will get 6 cents a piece in interest then." Su Wan first told her about the new models that would be launched next time and asked her to spread the word first, using hunger marketing.

"Okay, got it."

The proprietress's eyes lit up at the thought. Following the goddess of wealth to sell goat milk soap, the money she earned each time was equivalent to her shop's net revenue for a month.

Her grocery store sells a variety of daily necessities that are not worth much money. It's just a small business. How can she make as much money quickly as selling goat milk soap?

After taking the silver, Su Wan first went to a grain and oil shop and bought all the almond oil in stock in the store at once.

There are a total of 300 kilograms of almond oil, which can produce a total of about 2,500 pieces of soap. Excluding the cost, it is roughly estimated that the profit is at least 500 to 600 taels.

Moreover, these three hundred kilograms of almond oil only cost twenty taels of silver, plus all the miscellaneous costs, goat milk soap is a highly profitable business.

The owner of the grain and oil shop thought he had been taken advantage of. This girl bought so much almond oil every time she came. Almond oil was not easy to sell and did not taste good when used in cooking. So he would not order much each time. In the end, this girl bought it all.

When paying, Su Wan asked him about the supplier of the almond oil. The owner of the grain and oil shop definitely did not press the oil and sell it himself. The almond oil must have a supplier.

"Boss, I'd like to ask you where you buy this almond oil?"

Su Wan wondered if it would be cheaper if he could find the source supplier directly.

It is estimated that this grain and oil store buys almond oil from the source supplier for only five or six cents at most, but it sells it for eight cents. If Su Wan directly finds the source supplier to supply him and pays the factory price, wouldn't it be more cost-effective?

Have them deliver the oil regularly so you don’t have to buy it yourself.

But the owner of this grain and oil shop is also a shrewd man. This girl's large order of almond oil must be useful, but if she finds the supplier of the oil, then wouldn't he make any money?

"Miss, you must have a purpose for all this almond oil. How about this, if you order almond oil from me regularly, I'll give you seven cents per pound?"

The shopkeeper's abacus beads were about to hit her face, but Su Wan was not going to be fooled just for a penny.

Su Wan didn't say anything, but just left the Su family's address and asked the people from the grain and oil shop to help deliver it.

Anything over 100 kilograms can be delivered to your door, saving Su Wan and his third brother the trouble of transporting it back. Items weighing 300 kilograms would take up space, and the carriage would not be able to carry it all.

If Su Wan wanted to find out, she didn't have to ask him. She didn't believe that she couldn't find a family that specialized in making almond oil in Qinghe County.

Anyone who has been doing this business for a long time must have a lot of apricot trees planted at home. There is no wall that is impenetrable.

"No need, boss. I'm just asking. Please deliver the item to me."

Putting down the pen, Su Wan smiled and refused the shopkeeper's offer.

The shopkeeper saw that Su Wan was not helped and shrugged indifferently. It didn't matter. His grain and oil shop was the most profitable and he didn't care about the small profits at all. It's just that people who do business are subconsciously trying to make profits for themselves.

"Don't worry, girl. I will definitely send it home safely."

In addition, Su Wan also bought 200 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of flour.

There are a few more people to feed at home, and the rice harvested last year is not enough.

My uncle's family doesn't live and eat for free. He helps with all the housework.

Su Wan bought only glutinous rice and fine noodles, and the money he earned today was almost gone.

The next step is to go to Jishan Hall and talk to my second brother about the soapberry.

Soapberry is rarely used as medicine. Su Mu has collected all the soapberries stored in Jishan Hall, leaving only a few dozen kilograms for the medicine hall.

There were a total of 150 jin of soapberries, and they were sold at two cents per jin, so Su Wanjie only needed to pay three liang of silver.

There were also several other pharmacies that contributed several hundred kilograms.

These nearly 500 kilograms of soapberries can be boiled into juice to make about 2,000 pieces of hair soap. For the time being, there is no need to worry about running out of soapberries to make hair soap.

If it is not enough, I can go to other counties to buy it back. It is not expensive anyway. The net profit of making a piece of hair soap is thirty cents.

By piecing together the harvest here and there, you can always make it to autumn. After a new round of soapberries mature and fall off, you don't have to go around collecting them.

Now, Su Wan’s flower fields have not yet produced any flowers, so Su Wan has to go to the state capital to find a flower supplier.

Many rouge shops in the state capital need a large amount of flowers to make rouge, and there are flower farms that specialize in delivering flowers to door-to-door.

To make floral soap, Su Wan also needs a lot of fresh flowers to soak the oil and extract the pure dew. This floral goat milk soap is the code to wealth, so it must be supplied for a long time and cannot be out of stock.

Finally, there were so many soapberries that they could not fit in the horse-drawn carriage, so they hired two ox carts from the county to help deliver the goods.

Su Wan also bought a lot of dried flowers to grind into powder for dyeing. She was also worried that there was not enough paper, pens and paints in her fifth brother's room, so she bought him a few stacks of drawing paper, some paints and brushes.

This time, all the money he earned from selling soap was spent, not a penny left.

But the total profit of these purchased items can reach one thousand taels of silver.
