Chapter 257 Lemon Juice (Part 2)
Some women were shocked when they heard this.
"Your husband is a scholar, yet he's willing to let you do business in the public eye?"
"Yes, does your husband mind this? They scholars value reputation the most."
"Miss Jiang, don't keep it in your heart even if you've been wronged. No one will laugh at you."
Everyone looked at Jiang Zhiluo and listened to what she had just said. They obviously didn't believe her and thought she was lying.
Scholars pay the most attention to reputation, especially the classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. The status of merchants is very low.
If her husband passed the imperial examination, his wife would be laughed to death by her classmates and colleagues for being a businessman in the public eye.
Such scholars would rather tighten their belts and live a frugal life than do business in such a public way.
Not to mention selling things while shouting.
Jiang Zhiluo felt a little amused when she saw everyone's eyes burning with gossip.
She felt that even if she explained, it would be useless because no one believed her at all.
But this also shows that Cui Hejin is a good person.
In this era, it's already very good that he can respect her ideas and let her do what she wants.
After all, this era is different from the modern era.
Here, she is Cui Hejin's nominal wife.
What she did represented Cui Hejin's reputation.
But when she thought about it this way, she felt even more emotional. Mrs. Cui was also very nice.
Never find fault.
Cui Qingci reacted and hurriedly got off the ox cart, holding a palm-leaf fan and fanning Jiang Zhiluo.
"Sister-in-law, are you hot? Let me wipe the sweat off your face."
As she spoke, Cui Qingci hurried to wipe the sweat off Jiang Zhiluo's face, fanning her with one hand without stopping.
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's not hot, no need."
"Sister-in-law, that won't do. Mother and big brother are so worried about you. If you go out, they are worried that you will be tired and hot. If you hadn't insisted, mother would have come over to help."
Cui Qingci felt that she had to save face for her sister-in-law.
We can't let others make random guesses and look down on my sister-in-law.
Jiang Zhiluo was so stunned by Cui Qingci that she couldn't recover for a moment.
At this time, the women came to their senses.
They looked at Cui Qingci with even more surprise.
"You...you are Miss Jiang's sister-in-law?"
Cui Qingci nodded and said sincerely, "Yes, I like my sister-in-law very much, so when she goes out, I have to follow her."
Seeing how nice the sister-in-law was, everyone stopped gossiping.
However, some people felt sad when watching this scene.
It’s hard to describe how many people get along with their sister-in-law.
But look at my sister-in-law, she's really nice.
He was so diligent in fanning his sister-in-law.
Doesn't she feel hot?
But now someone noticed the palm-leaf fans in their hands.
"Hey, this fan of yours blows quite strongly and looks quite useful. Do you sell fans?"
Some old ladies noticed that the fans in their hands did not seem to be as effective as the fans in the girls' hands.
Cui Qingci paused.
No way?
They came to sell soap, but everyone was eyeing their palm-leaf fans.
Cui Qingci didn't say anything, she looked at Jiang Zhiluo.
Anyway, this was written by her sister-in-law, so she listens to her sister-in-law.
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Sell it, ten cents each!"
“Then I’ll buy it!”
An old lady took out ten cents and bought the fan from Cui Qingci.
The old ladies in the neighborhood are used to comparing with each other and have a herd mentality. If they see others have something, they want to have it too.
“I’ll buy it too!”
Jiang Zhiluo also handed another palm-leaf fan from the ox cart to the old lady.
The two old ladies fanned themselves with the candles in their hands.
"Don't say it, the wind is really strong, and it's very light to hold."
“Yes, it does work.”
After the two of them said this, everyone around them borrowed it to try it out.
I feel it is easy to use, and although it is not an embroidered fan, it looks pretty good.
"Your fan is really good, better than any woven fan at the market, and it looks nice too. I'll buy two too!"
Jiang Zhiluo twitched her lips and said, "It's sold out now. If you want to buy some, you can tell us and we'll do some counting and send it directly to you tomorrow."
Is this possible?
Everyone was stunned for a moment and said the number.
Jiang Zhiluo counted and found that about twenty-one fans were needed.
It's quick to weave a fan, so she should be able to finish it by the time she comes tomorrow afternoon.
So Jiang Zhiluo readily agreed.
But she did not forget that she was here to sell soap, and continued to promote soap to everyone.
He even took out a linen cloth, deliberately made it dirty on the ground, and then washed it for everyone on the spot.
"This is just dirt, and it's very easy to wash. It can clean clothes with oil stains or very dirty clothes at home. You can see it from the foam..."
This on-site demonstration method allows everyone to feel the usefulness of soap more intuitively.
“It can really be washed clean!”
"We still have some soap at home, and we haven't used it up yet."
"We usually use soap nuts at home, so you can use them."
Everyone was hesitating whether to buy it.
At this time, a young woman happened to come over and saw this scene. She quickly squeezed in from the crowd and asked, "Sister, can I ask if that dyed cloth can be washed?"
The young woman was very young, and she looked and dressed very well.
When she asked the questions, she looked a little anxious, and when she looked at Jiang Zhiluo, she also had an expectant look.
A woman nearby recognized the young woman and said, "Isn't this Qiu Niang? You're also inexperienced. The cloth you have was caught in the rain, and some of it faded, staining the others a little."
"Just this one thing ruins the whole piece of cloth."
"Who makes clothes with mixed colors on them?"
When the woman heard this, her eyes turned red.
Someone sighed nearby, "Qiu Niang and her husband had it tough. They finally managed to buy a shop and start a fabric business, but they never expected it to end like this."
"Some of the cloth is even moldy!"
"We are very careful when washing clothes. Clothes that are fading must not be placed with light-colored clothes. Once the stain is there, no amount of expensive soap can remove it."
Everyone was talking at once.
Jiang Zhiluo understood what was going on immediately and thought for a moment before saying, "How about this? Bring me a piece of cloth. That should be enough."
When the woman heard this, she suddenly became excited and said, "Okay, I'll go back and get it right away."
The woman ran very fast and returned in a flash.
When I came back, I took two pieces of cloth.
One was a moldy cloth, and the other was a light pink cloth with blue stains on it.
This is quite abrupt.
Jiang Zhiluo took it, put white soap on it, and then soaked it in a basin of water.
She made the white soap later. Although she did not add flower juice or mugwort juice, she added citric acid juice.
Spiritual spring water is also added, so the effect will be stronger.
After soaking for a quarter of an hour, scrub vigorously and the mold spots and stained areas will be washed clean.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Everyone stared blankly, suspecting that their eyes were blurry and they were hallucinating.
