Chapter 026: God chases and feeds me
"Come on, everyone, try it and see if it works!" Su Wan generously shared his soap with everyone.
They were all people who loved to take advantage, so of course they wouldn't refuse and took turns scrubbing the clothes with goat milk soap.
A lot of bubbles are rubbed out, and the feeling of washing clothes is particularly good. You can clearly see the yellow bubbles produced by washing clothes.
"Wow, this thing is so useful, it cleans so well!" an aunt said honestly.
We are all savvy people who live frugally, and we all want to know about useful things.
"That's right. My goat milk soap can also be used to wash your face. My face is greasy and sticky in the summer, and flaky and dry in the winter. Using this to wash your face can beautify your skin."
She successfully got along well with a group of middle-aged women, and used her eloquence to coax them into a trance.
Everyone is asking where I bought it.
"How about this, I still have a few pieces. Aunties, come to my house and I'll cut a small piece for each of you to use. If you like it, I'll find a way to get more for you. It can be cheaper. When I bought this, it cost me more than ten coins a piece!"
Su Wan just said one thing: You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.
The aunties wanted to make some money as it was a bargain, so after washing the clothes, a large group of them followed Su Wan home with wooden basins to get goat milk soap.
She also called He Jiaolan to join her. He Jiaolan thought that Su Jing was also at home at this time, so she wanted to go over and see him.
Several brothers were drying millet, boiling lard, and making alkaline water at home when they saw Su Wan coming back with so many people and distributing goat milk soap to them.
Each person cut a small piece and left. That small piece was only enough for a few days at most. She was calculating with the abacus so hard that the beads were about to fall on their faces.
"Aunties, if you need this, remember to come to me. I'll give you a friendly price, absolutely affordable!"
"Okay, sister Su, we'll come to you when we need you."
The aunts left happily. He Jiaolan and Chen Yinghong were both there and cut a small piece for them as well.
The two of them came to see their loved ones. He Jiaolan took the goat milk soap and went to talk to Su Jing, asking some random questions.
Su Jing acted very cold and intentionally kept his distance from her.
He Jiaolan was not so shameless as to refuse a favor, so she left in disappointment.
Chen Yinghong rolled her eyes at Su Wan while holding the goat milk soap:
"You're such a spendthrift! How could you give away something you've spent money on for free? If it were Yueyue, she wouldn't be like you. She's the most frugal person!"
She was a typical example of someone who was soft-hearted and always found fault with others. Su Wan was unwilling to indulge her and snatched back the goat milk soap.
"If you don't like it, give it back to me. Goodbye, I won't see you off."
She walked away with her head raised proudly, which made Chen Yinghong very angry.
She also liked that small piece of goat milk soap. It felt good and smelled good. But it was just talk. She had to give it a try.
…
In the afternoon, she went to get the molds back. There were three sets of molds in total, and each mold could be sold for twenty yuan. The molds had to be removed every three days. She planned to go to the grocery store in six days.
I guess the boss lady was getting anxious by then.
This time, ten kilograms of lard can produce two hundred pieces of goat milk soap, which are made into square shapes. The patterns are the kind with auspicious words, and in the middle are engraved with three words: wealth and prosperity, flowers in full bloom, and everything goes well.
If you have a seal that you made yourself, just stamp it on.
I bought a stack of oil paper. After removing the goat milk soap from the mold, I used the oil paper to fold it neatly and beautifully, just like wrapping a gift box.
Several older brothers came to help. They didn’t know how to fold it at first, so Su Wan taught them one by one.
"The goat milk soap folded like this is really beautiful, but the oil paper is too ordinary. It would be better if it could be a little more fancy!"
This is Su Yi's feeling. He always feels that it is quite neat and tidy when wrapped like this, but it is too monotonous.
"If you have any ideas, feel free to bring them up!" Su Wan probably guessed what he was thinking.
In the original novel, the fifth brother was an excellent painter and later became a master of painting. Each of his paintings was worth a fortune and had a very high collection value, to the point where it was difficult to find one.
He must want to draw something on it!
"I think I could paint some simple pictures of ladies on it. That way, it would have a tasteful feel and look more expensive!"
"If Fifth Brother likes it, then draw it. Just follow what Fifth Brother has in mind!"
Su Wan's direct support made Su Yi feel a little insecure.
"Sister Wanwan, do you think I can draw well? What if the painting is ruined?"
"It's okay, Fifth Brother. If the painting gets damaged, just rewrap it. We have plenty of oil paper!"
Su Wan smiled brightly, and it didn't look like she was deliberately saying nice things to coax him.
"Sister Wanwan trusts me so much?"
"If my own family doesn't trust me, who else can I trust? Fifth Brother, just do what you like. Life is short. If you can't even do what you like, then it's too boring!"
Su Yi felt warm in his heart after hearing what Su Wan said, and he laughed from the bottom of his heart.
"I'll go get some brush and ink. I've seen Lao Wu's paintings. One day he casually drew a plum blossom on my paper. It was so lifelike, it's obvious he's talented!"
Su Jing stood up and went to the room to get pen and ink. Su Yi felt that it was a really good feeling to be unconditionally supported by his family.
He began to paint on the goat milk soap, simple ladies, simple outlines, sometimes a peony, sometimes a peach blossom, and sometimes a lotus bud about to bloom.
However, he painted each one very vividly, just as Su Jing said, lifelike.
For the first time, Su Wan understood what it meant to write like a god. This must be a gifted talent.
"Fifth brother, this is God's gift. Not everyone has this kind of talent. If you cultivate it, you will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Su Wan's words made Su Yi pause again. He suddenly remembered that before, he drew a dragon on the ground with a branch. Yueyue was watching from the side and praised the painting for being so good.
"Fifth brother, do you like painting?"
Su Yi nodded. He loved painting since he was a child. He would draw everything he liked on the ground. He was self-taught and his painting was very good.
It’s just that my family is in financial difficulty and literacy has become a problem. How can I have the spare money to buy quality paintbrushes?
"Yeah, I like it!"
"But Fifth Brother, our family is so poor that we can't even afford paper, pens, and paint!"
"I know, I just like it, but I won't eat it!" Su Yi felt a little disappointed when he heard this.
If you are poor, you cannot do the things you like.
"Fifth brother is so smart, he will be great at other things in the future!"
After all, Gu Yue grew up in the countryside and had a narrow vision. She thought that painting had no future and no potential.
