Chapter 028: Never considered your family?
Su Mu didn't go in. He was a slow-tempered person and didn't have any conversation with Su Wan along the way. Su Wan asked him to bring in the goat milk soap, and he went out again after he finished.
This second brother has a very cold personality and he is probably the most difficult one to get along with.
The proprietress took a look and found that these goat milk soaps had been packaged, and there were various beautiful simple patterns, pictures of ladies, and various flowers on the oil paper of each package, which were very delicate and beautiful.
"Wow, this oil paper is folded beautifully, and the flowers on it are pretty too. I can see you put a lot of thought into it!"
Of course, how can you make money without putting in the effort? The knife is on my neck, I am very anxious, Su Wan thought.
"Just count it. It's one hundred and twenty yuan in total. I'll send you the remaining one hundred and eighty yuan in a few days!"
"OK!"
Seeing that the goat milk soap was packaged so carefully, the proprietress accepted it and paid the money happily.
Fourteen taels and forty coins.
"Since we've already made a deal, I think we need to sign a document. From now on, you can't do business with other companies, and I'll accept all the soap you gave me. How about that?"
The proprietress was worried that someone else would make the money.
"Okay, go ahead and write it!"
Su Wan agreed readily. It was just a contract, and she was not illiterate.
The document is also written very simply, very clear and easy to understand. However, you cannot do business with other people. Just read it and sign it with your fingerprint.
The calligraphy of Su Wan was extremely evil. The chicken-like characters were an eyesore.
The boss lady looked at her signature, then looked at her appearance and her cleverness, and they didn't seem to match?
After taking the silver and leaving, I hurried to buy the ingredients, ten pounds of lard. I went to the grain and oil store and took a look around. I saw almond oil for sale. This oil can also be used to make soap. The smell is not too strong. If mixed with floral oil, it can have a floral scent. It can be made in many different colors. Add a little other ingredients and it will be a real facial soap.
Almond oil doesn’t taste good when used to cook food, so it’s not expensive. You can buy a pound of it for eight cents, so I bought five pounds and then bought a lot of dried flowers, which I ground into powder to use for color adjustment.
I just don't know where to find fresh flowers. It would be great if I could pick some to make floral dew.
Almond oil has no taste and is not good for cooking, but it is very good for making essential oil. It may be difficult to master the traditional distillation method to extract floral oil, but it can be used to make infused oil.
You can also add some Chinese herbal ingredients that are good for the skin into the soap, which will make it more advanced.
I spent one tael of silver and forty cents in one go, and there are still thirteen taels left. Next time when I send one hundred and eighty pieces of goat milk soap, I will have thirty taels left.
"Look, second brother, we're almost there, and we'll even have some left over. We can go find a carpenter to make some more molds!"
Watching her take out a bag of silver as if she was presenting a treasure, she smiled so brightly.
Su Mu was infected by her and couldn't help but smile.
This money was all her credit. As her brother, I feel a little ashamed that I couldn't help.
"Well, you're awesome!"
Although Su Mu was a little perfunctory, Su Wan was very satisfied. Slowly, she would win the love of all of them.
"Go, get out of the way!"
As I was walking on the road, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves from behind. A man wearing a fang mask and a purple robe was riding his horse on the street.
Ordinary people on the street and vendors doing business were affected, and things were scattered all over the ground in the chaos.
There were several horses chasing him from behind. The men in black, wearing black turbans, were chasing them hard and had injured several civilians.
When Su Wan turned around, she saw a man on a horse about to hit her. Su Mu quickly pulled her to his side, and the masked man immediately grabbed the reins, not wanting to hurt innocent people.
The horse's hoof was about to land, and Su Wan was shocked. Before she could react, the masked man had already whipped himself away again.
The people behind were still chasing after him, holding scimitars and swords in their hands.
"You're crazy! Riding a horse in the street will land you in jail!"
It is mentioned in the original book that the state of Jin does not allow riding horses in the streets, as it is easy to accidentally injure the lives of civilians. Once it is done, those with serious circumstances will be imprisoned.
"Are you okay?" Su Mu asked her from behind.
Su Wan turned around and shook her head, she was fine.
"It's okay, second brother. Let's go out of town and go home. Can we walk back today?"
It was still early and the work had been done. Old Hongtou would not be back until the afternoon, so I could only walk home first.
"I'm going to the clinic first to ask something!"
He worked as an apprentice in a medical clinic, and thought about what herbs were still lacking. When he had time, he would go to the mountains to pick some herbs to sell to supplement his family income.
So the brother and sister went to the clinic where Su Mu worked to ask about it. He had a month's leave for the busy farming season, but it wasn't time yet.
After learning that the current shortage was for herbs like Saposhnikovia divaricata, Panax notoginseng, and Bletilla striata, he had a clear idea in mind.
Before leaving, Su Wan took him to eat noodles. The Su brothers rarely spent money on eating outside. Sometimes when they had noodles, it was just a bowl of vegetarian noodles, but Su Wan ordered a bowl of meat noodles for her.
"No, plain flour will do!"
"What's so good about vegetarian noodles? Boss, I want meat noodles!"
Vegetarian noodles are only five cents, but meat noodles are eight cents, and there is not much meat in them.
"Brother, we're making money now, can't we treat ourselves? I'm treating, don't save money for me!"
"It's not easy for you to earn some money, but you still have to think about paying off your family's debts. We can't help you in any way, and it's not appropriate for us to spend your money."
He was still very unfamiliar, and his distant tone made Su Wan feel uncomfortable.
"Brother, we are a family, aren't we? Why do we have to talk about different things? Or, in your heart, I have never been considered a family member?"
Su Wan's tone was lost, and these words made Su Mu's heart skip a beat.
I can’t describe the feeling, I just feel a little nervous.
"No, don't think too much about it!" He didn't intend to explain and just brushed it off lightly.
The meat powder was served, and the brother and sister ate it in silence, then walked out of the city and went home.
…
In the woods, Jiang Yu was chased all the way, with all kinds of hidden arrows attacking him, almost every move was intended to take his life.
While dodging, his horse's leg was shot and he was forced to fall off the horse. Several men in black appeared in front of him and together with several men in black riding horses behind him, they surrounded him.
With no way forward and no way to retreat, the only option is to fight to the death.
"Who sent you here, Jiang Yan or Yu Wushang?"
"Don't care who it is, they are here to kill you!"
After saying that, several men in black jumped off their horses and rushed towards Jiang Yu together with the ones in front.
The only sounds in the woods were the clash of swords and the sound of flesh being cut.
Those who came this time are all top masters. How much does the person behind the scenes want him to die?
