After the canned mutton is sold out.
Shi Qingluo asked someone to bring out some canned fruits.
"This is canned fruit. Let's have a taste today for free."
“But we don’t make a lot of canned fruit, so we don’t sell it.”
These words made the people who had finally calmed down a little confused.
"What? Fruits can be canned?"
"What's so good about canned fruit? Can we just stuff the fruit into a clay pot?"
"It shouldn't be that simple, otherwise why would Madam bring it out for us to taste."
"Look, the can of fruit is open."
Shi Qingluo asked someone to take out the prepared green leaves and roll them up into a shape like a container.
"It's still one spoonful per person, everyone line up to taste it."
As soon as she finished speaking, people present quickly rushed to line up.
Then they tried canned grapes, peaches and apricots.
"Oh my god, this is so delicious. This canned juice is so tasty. It must have sugar in it."
"So this is canned fruit. We were wrong before."
“It’s delicious, better than fresh grapes.”
"I also think it tastes better than fresh peaches."
"This canned juice is especially delicious."
"Nonsense, how can it taste bad if you add sugar?"
Everyone was savoring the food and exclaiming in various ways.
Overall, I was surprised again. This canned fruit is really delicious.
The reason for this effect is mainly because sugar is expensive now and not many people are willing to eat sugar.
Moreover, the taste of canned food cooked with sugar and secret recipe is something that the ancients had never tasted before, so they felt amazed.
After all, in modern times when there is no shortage of sugar or fruit, there are many people who like to buy canned fruit.
This shows that the audience is very high.
Someone asked, "Madam, how do you sell these canned fruits?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and replied, "60 wen a can. When we start selling it, it will be half price. Then for the next month, the limit will be 40 wen a day."
"So expensive." someone exclaimed.
In their minds, it's just some fruit, why is it sold so expensively?
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Not only does it contain fruit, but it also contains sugar, which is not cheap. It is made with a secret recipe, so it is expensive."
"And there's a rubber ring in the bottle cap, and there aren't many of them in the whole beam now, so it's very expensive."
"If you buy canned food and don't want to use it to store things, you can bring the bottle cap and the rubber ring to our workshop and we will recycle them for six cents a bottle cap."
It is not expensive to produce pottery jars yourself, but the expensive part is the rubber shipped from the capital.
The emperor is not given for free, and the settlement will be made according to the market price when the time comes.
But the emperor was very kind in agreeing to continuously transport rubber to supply the canning workshop.
After all, rubber is really hard to buy even if you have money now.
However, when the rubber flowers are harvested next year, the cost can be reduced.
She recently asked people from the county government to collect rubber flowers. Anyone who finds them can pick them and sell them, which will bring in extra income.
Moreover, the main sales group of these canned fruits is not the people in the county, but the wealthy families in Beijing and other places.
After hearing what she said, everyone thought it made sense. After all, sugar is expensive, and no one knows how much sugar is put into the can to have the current sweetness.
The rich people thought that when the canned fruits started to be sold, they would buy some more to take home and eat.
After tasting the canned food, Shi Qingluo asked someone to bring out the candles, scented soap and soap.
“These are the candles, scented soaps and soaps made in our other workshop.”
Many people ask: "What are soap and soap?"
Although Xi Rong opened many rouge shops, she did not have any in northern Xinjiang.
Many vendors bought goods from rouge shops in the capital or the south and brought them to the north to sell, so the dignitaries and city dwellers in the north knew about soap and perfumed soap.
But almost no one knows about Heyang County, which is remote, backward and poor.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "It is used for bathing, washing hands and doing laundry."
Then she waved to a big man with dirty hands who was working, "Come and show everyone."
The big man worked in a workshop, so he didn't feel embarrassed.
The big man wet his hands with soap and rubbed them in the water.
Then many people crowded over to watch.
Then I saw that the water suddenly became dirty. After the big man finished rubbing his hands, he took them out of the water and wiped them dry with a towel.
Everyone noticed that his hands became clean.
"This soap washes your hands really clean!"
“Yeah, that’s good stuff too.”
"Can you still do laundry?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Of course."
Then a servant came forward with a dirty white garment.
He changed the basin of clean water again, and the servant squatted down and rubbed the dirty spots on the clothes with soap.
Everyone was surprised to see that the place became clean very quickly.
"This is amazing, it can be cleaned so easily."
"It's much more useful than soap nuts."
"It's not even comparable to wood ash."
"Oh, with this soap, it will be much more convenient and cleaner for us to wash clothes."
"Yes, this thing is really good."
Men are somewhat interested in washing hands, but not in washing clothes, after all, they don't do any work at home.
But the women who had come to join in the fun were getting agitated, and desire was evident in their eyes.
Then Shi Qingluo asked a maid and a boy to bring out soaps of different scents and place them in the middle.
“Everyone can come up and try the soap for themselves. It not only cleans your hands, but your hands also have a light fragrance after washing.”
After hearing what she said, many people rushed to try it.
This time they were much more self-conscious and took the initiative to line up.
After trying it, even the poor people want it.
This soap is really useful for taking a bath. Not only does it make your body clean, but it also leaves your body smelling nice after washing.
Soap is also good for washing clothes.
"Ma'am, how much are these soaps and soaps?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Uncarved soap costs three cents a piece, the cheapest carved soap costs ten cents, a set costs more than thirty cents, and the best set costs more than a hundred cents."
"Uncarved soap is five cents a piece, but there are only two scents to choose from."
"The carved ones depend on the different scents and packaging. The cheapest one is 20 wen, and the complete set starts at 50 wen. The most expensive one is more than one tael of silver per set."
The latter is mainly aimed at the powerful and wealthy families.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this; the price difference was too big.
A piece of soap costs three cents, a piece of perfumed soap costs five cents, and people with a little bit of means are willing to buy them.
And they also thought that even though they only spent a few cents, the effect was the same as the expensive ones bought by the rich.
It’s just not that delicate and pretty. Although there are only two scents to choose from, it’s still fragrant when used.
It seems that the gap between them and the powerful and rich is not that big.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are these soaps for sale?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Sell it. Today is the opening celebration of our county government workshop, so all candles, scented soaps and soaps are half price."
"Limit to four dollars per person per item."
Hearing this, everyone was excited. They didn't expect that this thing was half price today.
So what are you hesitating about? Buy, buy, buy!
This time, not only people in the county town bought the products, but even many wealthier families in the villages couldn't help but join the buying craze.
The workers in the workshop were all dumbfounded when they saw everyone buying things as if they were robbing.
All the worries I had before are now gone, replaced by excitement and excitement.
If the workshop's business is good, they can continue to do it.
And they are all very proud, because in addition to wages, the workshop gives each of them a bar of soap and a bar of scented soap every month as a benefit.
When they have rested, they will take it back for their wives and families.
Just thinking about it makes me feel more and more hopeful about the future, and I feel so happy.
