Chapter 035: Su Wan is mature at a young age
The medicine in the jar was still warm. Su Wan assisted Su Mu in feeding him the medicine. She did not care about the rest of the things. But before leaving, she looked at him a few more times and was reluctant to look away. She was really impressed by his handsome face.
The author did not lie to me, Jiang Yu was exactly as described in the book.
The second brother Su Mu is also very handsome. It should be said that all the members of the Su family are handsome guys, and they are pleasing to the eye every day.
Jiang Yu lay in a coma on the sickbed for four or five days, with repeated fevers every day. He was only fed with rice soup to fill his stomach. In just a few days, he became visibly thinner.
The Su brothers couldn't sleep well every night, especially Su Yun, who was so resentful that he was almost bursting with anger.
The 180 pieces of goat milk soap have been made and will be ready for delivery to the county grocery store after being packaged.
There are also thirty-five pieces of goat milk soap made from almond oil, dyed and round in shape, with lotus prints on them, which are exquisite and beautiful.
Believe it or not, no girl can refuse it, right?
Moreover, almond oil and goat milk soap is gentle and non-irritating when used to wash the face. It is better than lard and goat milk soap and has a higher value. So it is sold at a higher price, twenty cents a piece, but sixteen cents a piece is enough for her.
The brothers wrapped the goat milk soap with oil paper, and Su Yi painted patterns on it, lotus and peony.
His painting skills are really not exaggerated. After painting with red paint, the overall look is much more upscale.
Sure enough, goods can only be sold at a high price if they are well packaged!
…
The next day, the paint was dry. This time, Su Chen and Su Yi accompanied Su Wan to the county. The two brothers each carried a portion of the goat milk soap. Su Yi was not as strong as his brothers, so he carried less. The three siblings took the ox cart together. This time, Old Hong took the three of them.
The owner of the county grocery store had been looking forward to Su Wan's arrival for a long time, and finally she did.
Her goat milk soap is a novelty. It can wash clothes cleanly and wash hands and face smoothly. The first batch of people who bought it gave it high praise after using it.
As neighbors spread the word, the 120 pieces of goat milk soap were sold out in no time.
There were also several young ladies and ladies from landlord families who loved it very much. The servants in the mansions went out to buy it and try to please their masters. The masters liked it after using it, so they sent them to buy more. However, when they came back again, it was out of stock, so they could only make reservations.
The proprietress collected a lot of deposits out of thin air, and the deposit for one piece was two cents. She made a net profit of several taels of silver in the past few days.
There are also several other grocery stores in the same industry who come to her to inquire about business opportunities. How can she cut off her own source of income?
They had signed the document at the beginning. In this county, she was the only family with the channel.
When the three Su Wan siblings came over, the proprietress became even more enthusiastic and entertained them with tea and snacks.
"Good girl, you're finally here! Your goat milk soap is in such high demand now that it's in short supply. I've already ordered all 180 yuan worth of it and am just waiting for you to deliver it. Come on, let's exchange the money for the goods. I've got all the money ready for you!"
The total is twenty-two taels, and the extra forty wen is the deposit I collected these days. I'll make it an even number for you, please count it!"
She stuffed the silver directly into Su Wan's hand, and her eyes were wrinkled with smile.
"Boss, why don't you check the goods first?"
She was not in a hurry to collect the money. She wanted to check it first to avoid being blamed if something went wrong later.
"Okay, let me take a look!"
The proprietress happily lifted the cloth of the basket and looked at a few pieces at random. They were similar to the previous ones. She was not an expert, but she smelled them and the fragrance was ok, so she considered it a test.
"Wait, why are the ones here different from these?"
The proprietress soon discovered that there were dozens of round packaged soaps mixed in with the goods.
"Madam, this is a new product. I modified it and it is a goat milk soap specially used for washing your face. It is more comfortable and smooth when used on your face. You might as well open it and take a look." Su Wan immediately went along with it.
The proprietress couldn't wait to open a piece. She was attracted by the beautiful and exquisite pink goat milk soap at first sight and was very happy.
After smelling it, the goat milk smells even better. Those soaps made with lard have somewhat affected the smell of goat milk, but the smell of almond oil is very light, and the original scent of pollen used for coloring makes the smell even better.
There is also a lotus mark printed on it. Women like these fancy things. Not to mention the customers, she likes it herself and has to keep a few pieces for herself.
"I'm afraid if I make too much, it won't be popular, so I only made thirty-five pieces this time. Because there are more raw materials and the workmanship is more complicated than before, this soap will sell for twenty cents, and I'll take sixteen cents a piece. What do you think, Madam?"
"How could it not be popular? The ladies will love this soap. Just as you said, twenty cents a piece. I'll calculate the price for you right now!"
It's not her who does it anyway, and she can earn an extra penny, so why not do it?
Moreover, this round soap is smaller than the square one, and it has colors and is made more delicately. There is also a lotus mark on it. The ladies of wealthy families like beautiful things, and I am afraid they will not buy it.
The proprietress has been in business for so many years and is quite shrewd. She knows in her heart whether something is good or not and whether it can make money.
Besides, there is no business without losses, and she made a profit anyway.
Thirty-five pieces of almond oil and goat milk soap were sold at sixteen cents each. The proprietress paid her five taels of silver and sixty cents.
This time, he received twenty-seven taels of silver and sixty coins.
With the more than four taels they had left, they could take out three taels to make up for the difference and go directly to Boss Zhang to pay off their debt.
This time, Su Wan was fully prepared to go out. She even brought the receipt with her. She also called him "Third Brother" because she thought that he had martial arts skills and if Boss Zhang dared to do something weird, she would be able to escape unscathed.
The first master's apprentice has studied for so many years, and it's easy for him to beat a few minions.
Su Chen and Su Yi saw with their own eyes today and witnessed another side of Su Wan. He was mature and experienced when talking about business. When standing together with the shrewd lady owner of the grocery store, he had the upper hand and was treated like a god of wealth.
To be honest, the Su family has never been treated like this wherever they go.
The one-month deadline has not yet arrived, and only twenty days have passed. Su Wan has already earned thirty taels with his wisdom and skills.
If Jiang Yu hadn't happened in the middle of the process, she would have had more left!
I have to say that when it comes to doing business, you have to admit that he is really smart. The Su brothers are gradually changing their views on Su Wan.
