Chapter 66: A good start! Family status soars
"You can try them first and see which one you like." Su Tang took out a piece of the goat milk soap and rose soap that were drying in the sieve as a trial.
Yu Miaomiao had already drawn clean water, and the two of them cooperated very well.
A beautiful finished product for trial? How can that be possible?
Old Lady Mu said quickly: "Just use the scraps to try it out, don't waste the finished product."
"Mom, tomorrow when we go to the county town to sell soap, we have to offer trial samples so that the finished product will look good." Su Tang said.
Mrs. Mu: …
She was only given scraps, and she was told it was a finished product after people tried it? How outrageous!
Tailor Wang tried it out and laughed, "Mrs. Mu, your two daughters-in-law are good at business."
"You have to give to gain. You are so stingy that we are afraid that the soap will fall off when we smell it." Aunt Zhou teased.
Mrs. Mu was embarrassed: "Try it!"
The trial effect is very good. With a light touch, fine foam comes out. It cleans very well and is gentle and non-irritating.
Tailor Wang generously took out 25 cents and said, "I want a goat milk one."
"I want the rose one. My eldest daughter likes this flavor." Aunt Zhou paid two cents.
"Okay!"
Su Tang went to find a rag to pack the soap.
"Oh, you two sisters-in-law are so capable and know everything. It's such a blessing for the second and third sons to marry you." Aunt Zhou sighed.
Old Mrs. Mu was unhappy.
It is obvious that they are able to marry into the Mu family, and their ancestors’ graves are filled with joy!
Yu Miaomiao has already accepted Qin Xian as her master, and will no longer sell pictures to Tailor Wang. But she was able to succeed today because she took advantage of Tailor Wang.
So, she took the initiative to say: "Aunt Wang, Teacher Qin came to my house today..."
"We all know about this." Tailor Wang interrupted her, "After my senior sister left your house, she also went to my place. Xiao Yu, you are very capable. You should learn well from my senior sister in the future!"
"Aren't you angry?" Yu Miaomiao hesitated.
After all, a source of income was cut off.
Tailor Wang smiled and said, "What's the big deal? For someone as talented as you, I just hope you get better and better."
"Thank you..."
Yu Miaomiao was touched.
The competition in the acting department is very fierce, both openly and secretly. She has seen all kinds of people during her time in school. They will do anything to get money and get ahead, even stepping on their friends to climb up. Few people really wish you the best.
Tailor Wang’s attitude is simple and upright.
When Mrs. Mu heard that her daughter-in-law had officially become a disciple, her cloudy eyes suddenly brightened and she asked Mu Jingyun, "Is Teacher Qin really here?"
"Um."
Mu Jingyun was depressed.
His wife is both an apprentice and a businessman, which makes him seem like he has nothing to worry about!
As a result, Old Mrs. Mu was overjoyed and continued to poke his lungs.
"Oh my, our Xiao Yu is really capable. He will make a lot of money with Teacher Qin in the future!"
"Our Mu family is so lucky to have married such a powerful daughter-in-law. Do we still have to worry about not having a prosperous life? Hahaha..."
Mu Jingyun: ………
Tailor Wang and Aunt Zhou laughed for a while and then left.
Old Lady Mu immediately looked for Yu Miaomiao: "Xiao Yu, I brought these people here. I sold two bars of soap today!"
"Well, hang up."
Yu Miaomiao found the small calligraphy book in which she drew the pictures and recorded the sales volume.
We have sold four bars of soap before the products are officially put on sale. The prospects are bright!
If the sales in the county town are good tomorrow, I will hurry up and make a few more batches of soap.
"Second sister-in-law, this small regular script book only has a few pages left. Remember to buy another one when you go to the county town tomorrow." Su Tang said.
"Okay, help me remember this."
Yu Miaomiao turned to another page and started to record the total.
Su Tang knew what she meant at a glance and said, "Keep a record every day. Keep a clear account of how many soaps you have, how many you have sold, and how many are left."
The implication is: I know how many there are, don’t steal!
Old Mrs. Mu rolled her eyes: You two little rascals, just be on guard against her.
Just as he was about to curse, Old Man Mu shouted, "Come in, I have something to tell you."
Only then did Mrs. Mu notice the big red apple on the windowsill: "This is..."
"Teacher Qin brought an apology gift, and they specially gave one to you. They also gave one to Li Lan." Old man Mu's angle of speech changed.
Old Lady Mu looked at Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao in surprise, and went back to the house to close the doors and windows. She didn't know what the two old ladies said inside. When Old Lady Mu came out, her attitude changed 180 degrees.
"Oh, the apples that Teacher Qin brought from the provincial capital are delicious. They are crisp and sweet."
"Xiao Yu, when you go to the county to study in the future, take a look at what dishes are available at home and bring some to Teacher Qin."
"Su Tang, just follow along for a while and learn more. Don't think about working in the fields anymore."
“…”
Su Tang: ………
When did she ever think about working in the fields? Not once!
"Okay, let's fry the bacon tonight." Old Mrs. Mu went back to the house and took out a piece of bacon as big as her palm. "Xiao Yu, you can do whatever you want."
Yu Miaomiao blinked in confusion.
What happened to Mrs. Mu?
Mu Jingyun sneered, he was well aware of his mother's tricks: she used to look down on people who couldn't work, but now that she can make money, she tries to flatter them!
"Second brother, let's go back to doing carpentry work!" Mu Jingzhou said in a low voice.
If I can save one dollar after a day's work, it should be much more than what my wife earns from selling soap.
"No." Mu Jingyun snorted, "I want to stay at home and take care of my wife."
Mu Jingzhou: ………
"Old Third, are you willing to sleep outside?"
"No."
Mu Jingzhou now loves to sleep with his sweet and soft wife in his arms!
But how can you make more money if you don’t leave home?
"After work, we can go into the mountains to hunt and sell them in the free market." Mu Jingyun has already thought it through.
Although hunting is risky, it allows you to make money and stay at home with your wife!
Mu Jingzhou readily agreed: "Okay!"
…
The next day, the handmade paper was finally dry.
It's not very white, but slightly yellow. The fine sieve made by Mu Jingyun is not delicate enough, and the paper filtered out is thicker, so one layer is enough.
The fiber of the plant affects the flatness, creating a natural sense of concavity and convexity. The colorful flowers dotted here are full of literary style.
Early in the morning, Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao began cutting paper and packaging soap.
Li Lan walked around half of the village yesterday but didn't sell a single bar of soap, so she took the initiative to help with the packaging.
The three of them worked all morning and finally packed all the soaps and stacked them neatly in the house.
The goat milk soap is dotted with yellow and red flowers.
The rose soap is dotted with blue and purple flowers.
After breakfast, they carried twenty bars of soap in bamboo baskets to the county town to sell.
In order to facilitate customers to try the products, basins and clean water were also provided.
Li Lan hadn't been to the county town for a long time and wanted to go: "Second brother and sister-in-law, I'll go help you!"
"The journey is bumpy, sister-in-law, you'd better stay at home and take good care of yourself!" How could Yu Miaomiao dare to take her with her?
If something goes wrong, who is responsible?
Li Lan touched her belly and felt for the first time how inconvenient being pregnant was.
"Then, I'll help you sell it at home. Maybe someone from the village will come to buy soap." Li Lan still arranged a "job" for herself.
Su Tang thought about it and it made sense, so she went back to the house and counted out ten bars of soap and placed them on the windowsill: "Sister-in-law, they are all here. Be careful when you collect the money, don't collect the wrong one."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Li Lan smiled.
She didn't realize that she had actually been infected by Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao's ambition to succeed.
The seed of wanting to earn my own living took root in my heart.
