Chapter 93: Flushing Toilets Are a Hit

Seven days later.

The toilets sold at the old Sun's Ceramics Workshop were exceptionally well-received.

Many people still don't know how to use a toilet.

The people asked all sorts of questions:

"This looks good, but how do you flush it?"

"Exactly, I think this thing is inconvenient at all!"

The shopkeeper explained how to use the toilet:

"We built a wooden frame above the toilet to hold a large-capacity water tank, and connected it to the toilet inlet with bamboo pipes. If you want something even better, you can use ceramic pipes."

"We've already filled the water tank with water from the well and water vat. Using the water pressure generated by the difference in elevation, we open the wooden plug or valve at the bottom of the tank, and the water flows into the toilet through the pipe to complete the flushing."

"It uses flushing water to carry away the feces."

Upon hearing this, the people's eyes lit up: "Oh, it's that simple! You mean after we poop, we just press this water tank and the waste is taken away?"

Manager Sun nodded: "That's right, this is both environmentally friendly and hygienic."

"Simply put, everyone just needs to fill their own water tanks or reservoirs."

“This irrigation canal has been modified by Magistrate Su, so it’s very convenient for us.”

As he spoke, Manager Sun demonstrated it again and again.

Many people think it's inexpensive and convenient.

"Especially for pregnant women, it eliminates the hassle of squatting and prevents them from falling in winter. It's a must-have for every household."

"So please feel free to buy. If you have any problems with after-sales service, you can contact Sun's Ceramics Workshop."

Some people, upon hearing that it was for pregnant women and that it was indeed good, bought it.

Shopkeeper Sun beamed with joy: "Not only can pregnant women use it, but it's also suitable for elderly people in their seventies. They can just sit there and relieve themselves whenever they want, without worrying about numbness in their legs or being unable to get up."

The people were overjoyed:

"Then I need to get one for my parents."

For a time, Sun's ceramic workshop was packed with people.

From a distance, a large group of people could be seen entering.

Flushing toilets are very popular among the people.

Some people are short of money but love it very much and have no choice but to give up.

Manager Sun had previously taken Su Jingge's advice.

He shouted, "Those who place orders in the first three days will get a 10% discount!"

"Installment payment is available, up to three installments!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

"Huh? What's a discount? What's a 10% discount?"

Manager Sun repeated the sales pitch that Su Jingge had taught him:

"What originally cost 1000 copper coins can now be bought for only 900 copper coins!"

The people nodded upon hearing this: "Oh, so it's cheaper?"

"Yes, it's a benefit for ordinary people."

"If you pay in full, you'll also receive a free gift!"

The people kept crowding forward, asking, "What kind of free gifts are there?"

"Um..." Manager Sun hurriedly picked up the inventory list on the counter: "For example, this fragrant... floral, ocean-scented, lavender-scented, water purifier, just throw this little round thing into the water tank, and the water that comes out will smell fragrant!"

Many women, especially those who love cleanliness, fall in love with a clean toilet and a pleasantly fragrant bidet.

Manager Sun then recalled the second sales pitch Su Jingge had taught him:

"First come, first served! There aren't many of these flushing pumps left. Once they're all gone, we can't be sure what we'll get next. It's all random!"

This attracted a scramble among the young women.

Manager Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was extremely busy.

"So what did you mean by installment payments?"

Manager Sun explained, "The money for this toilet can be paid in two or three installments. You can pay me 300 coins, then another 300 coins next time, and finally the rest."

Upon hearing this, the common people's eyes paused briefly: "That's great! This avoids the problem of us not being able to come up with the money all at once. In other words, I can get this toilet by paying 300 copper coins now, right?"

“That’s right, that makes sense, but you need to register here first.”

"If you take the things and run away, how am I supposed to find you?"

"That's what Manager Sun said."

The man smiled and said, "Everyone says Manager Sun has poor eyesight, but he's got a lot of cunning!"

"Hahaha."

This caused everyone to burst into laughter.

For a time, Sun's ceramic workshop was filled with laughter and joy.

Watching as the flush toilets were sold off one by one.

Manager Sun received the money and couldn't stop smiling.

I never imagined that this workshop, which was almost closed down, would run out of ceramics and become a hit with its toilets.

Who can I reason with about this?

He was extremely grateful to Su Jingge for her radical renovation of his ceramics workshop!

Meanwhile, in a street corner alley not far away.

Zhao Liu was with his servants, taking inventory, when he happened to witness this scene.

His eyes darkened: "What flush toilet? Su Jingge only knows how to make those weird and crooked things."

"They were repairing the land a while ago, and now it seems like they're going to plant crops in the west of the city again. Xie Mo, you've even had to ask Shanggu Zhai for seeds."

"They installed another flush toilet today. She won't stop until she's turned this county into a complete mess."

He kicked the servant next to him, annoyed, and said, "What are you looking at? Get back to work!"

Kong Huai, an advisor, crossed his arms and leaned against the wooden frame by the door, a half-smirk on his lips. He sneered, "You don't know this, do you, Zhao Liulang? I just saw that flush toilet. It's definitely better than the stinky latrine you're squatting in."

"Just think about it, summer is almost here, and there will be rows and rows of tiny white creatures crawling over your feet and your buttocks in that cesspool. Tsk tsk tsk~ Doesn't that disgust you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liu covered his mouth and almost vomited.

He chuckled softly: "Ah! So, if I use his toilet, those little bugs will disappear?"

"So you're not going to climb on the ass hook anymore?"

Zhao Liu looked completely unconvinced.

Kong Huai shook his head, slightly helpless: "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. Go see for yourself, it's right across the street."

Anyway, I bought it.

After Kong Huai finished speaking, he left.

Zhao Liu watched Kong Huai's retreating figure, his brows furrowing slightly. Kong Huai was always arrogant and confident, looking down on everyone.

It's rare for him to praise something.

He glanced at the Sun's Ceramics Workshop across the street. So many people?

They're not afraid the store will be overcrowded.

He glanced around, then decided to go over and see for himself.
