Chapter 201 How many types of soap do you have? I want it!
This thing doesn't look big, and the price is probably not that expensive, so many people are tempted by it.
Kang Ruolan was waiting for them to ask, her smile still warm.
"Before I tell you the price, you might want to take a look at another of our products: soap."
He Dongxue happened to be standing next to her holding a soap box with the lid opened.
The soap looks much more delicate than the soap. It is in the shape of beautiful petals and is light green in color.
This is a mint-scented soap. As soon as the box is opened, it emits a light mint fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Many girls and women were attracted to it at once. Just by looking at the exquisite workmanship, they knew it must be a good thing.
Then I heard Kang Ruolan say with a smile:
"This is soap, mainly used for washing hands, face, and bathing. It's no less delicious than the bath soaps used by the rich."
"But ours is more exquisite and beautiful, and the price is cheaper. There are more styles and varieties, and they are divided into different floral and medicinal scents."
"The one I have in my hand has a mint scent. It's perfect for summer. Washing your hands and taking a shower with it will make you feel dry and refreshed. Is there anyone willing to try it?"
She glanced at the crowd. Some people were eager to try it, but some seemed to be afraid to step forward because of the exquisite beauty of the thing, for fear of breaking it.
"Can I try it?"
After a while, a young woman finally spoke.
The woman looked to be in her early twenties. Her light purple silk dress made her look pretty and charming. She was both beautiful and intelligent. One could tell at a glance that she came from a wealthy family.
"Isn't this the mayor's daughter-in-law? She's actually here to watch the fun."
Soon someone recognized the young woman and called out her identity, revealing a hint of surprise and envy.
Kang Ruolan suddenly realized that she was the mayor's daughter-in-law. She naturally knew the mayor, Liu Cong. The second young master had worked as a servant in their family before.
From what the lady said, this family has good character.
If someone from the mayor's family helped with the experiment today, the results would definitely be better.
So she smiled even more warmly: "Madam, please come this way."
The young woman was Liu Cong's daughter-in-law, named Jiang Yao.
She heard two days ago that Ms. Xiao, who sells spicy sesame oil, was going to open a new store, and out of curiosity, she came to take a look today.
She didn't expect that the other party was selling cleaning products, and she immediately became interested.
Although she didn't wash clothes, she knew the hard work of the servants in the house who used soapnut powder to wash clothes.
If I can switch to this soap in the future, the cleaning effect will definitely be much better.
But what really moved her was the soap. This soap really touched her heart. It was so delicate and beautiful, and she also liked the mint scent.
She used bath beans for bathing, but they were too expensive, costing one or two taels of silver each, which was less than one-fifth the size of this bar of soap.
She has silently decided that as long as this soap works as well as the bath beans, she will switch to soap in the future.
After trying it, I was delighted. This soap is actually better than bath beans!
"Boss, how much is this soap?"
Jiang Yao couldn't wait to ask, with a hint of urgency. She had already made up her mind to use this soap to wash her hands, face and bathe in the future.
The onlookers were immediately curious when they saw her like this. How could this soap be so good that even the mayor's daughter-in-law wanted it?
But it does smell nice. They can smell the faint minty scent even from such a distance, and it seems that the cleaning effect is also very good.
If the price is not expensive, maybe they will buy it and try it. Didn’t the shopkeeper say that this thing is comparable to the bath beans used by rich people?
They can't afford bath beans, but maybe they can use soap.
After introducing both things, Kang Ruolan no longer kept the topic in suspense.
"I'm sure everyone knows the effects of soap and soap. Now let me talk about the price."
"A bar of this simplest soap costs only 15 wen. There are also soaps in different shapes, with patterns, and packaging. These are a little more expensive, ranging from 50 to 100 wen."
"There are two types of soap. The one the lady just used is only 300 wen per piece. There's another more exquisite one, packaged in huanghuali wood, which costs between 800 wen and 2 liang."
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd was in an uproar, and the laughter and joy that had just been there faded away.
"The simplest soap costs 15 cents? You're selling it too expensive!"
"That's right. We only buy a box of soapnut powder for 5 cents. Although its cleaning ability seems to be a little worse than your soap, it can still clean well."
"I'd better go buy some soapnut powder. I can't afford these things that only rich people use."
"Forget about the soap. I can still afford 15 cents, but your soap is ridiculously expensive. I originally wanted to buy a bar to give to my wife. Sigh..."
Most people condemned the price, saying it was too expensive.
They are just ordinary people. Soapnut powder will do anyway, so why use such expensive soap?
On the contrary, Jiang Yao was different. When she heard that the soap she had just used only cost 300 Wen, she was surprised and delighted. This price was too cheap!
She wanted to rush into the store and buy ten or eight yuan worth of things, half for her mother-in-law and the other half for herself.
No, no, the father-in-law and husband should also have one, and the daughter should also have her own soap.
As for the price of the soap, he didn't care at all. As long as it worked, what did it matter if it cost a few cents more?
Kang Ruolan saw everyone's reactions, but she was not panicked at all. It was obvious that she had expected this.
"Everyone, please don't worry. Just listen to me." She smiled. "I heard that meat buns on the street are three cents each, and plain noodles with minced meat are seven cents."
"In other words, you can buy a bar of soap with two bowls of plain noodles."
"Two bowls of plain noodles may not be enough to fill a full meal, but a bar of soap used by the whole family can last for a month or two."
"Although soapnut powder is cheaper, it's not as durable as soap, nor as convenient as soap. One bar of soap is worth at least two boxes of soapnut powder."
"You can do the math yourself. Is 15 cents a bar of soap really that expensive?"
"To be honest, we at Yingfengxiangfang also have a shop in the county town. A bar of soap like this costs at least 20 wen. My wife set the low price for us out of consideration for the folks in Hongye Town."
"If you don't believe me, you can always go to the county town and ask if soap costs 20 wen a piece."
After hearing these words, the onlookers looked at each other in surprise, and then started talking, thinking that what Kang Ruolan said made a lot of sense.
"When you calculate it this way, it doesn't seem expensive at all."
"I only had two bowls of plain noodles yesterday, and I was only half full. I felt like I might as well have bought a bar of soap."
"Is a bar of soap really worth two boxes of soapnut powder? If so, it's not really that expensive. After all, it's really better than soapnut powder."
"I want to buy one and try it. I always feel uncomfortable taking a bath with soapnut powder."
Jiang Yao couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how many types of soap do you have? I want to see them all."
Kang Ruolan smiled knowingly, and seeing that the time was almost right, she said:
"Today is the grand opening of our Yingfengxiangfang. All purchases today will receive a 20% discount. If you purchase more than three taels of silver, you can become a VIP user and receive a VIP card. With this VIP card, you can enjoy a 10% discount on all future purchases."
"Everyone, welcome to Yingfengxiangfang. Please come in!"
