Two days later, the osmanthus soap and mugwort soap were both dried. He Xianqiu tested the acidity and alkalinity and after finding out they were within the range for human use, she went to the county town to sell them.
Her plan was to sell the soaps and perfumed soaps produced by their soap factory in the county's shopping malls, and then promote them in provincial and city markets.
Ji Chenzhou also came back today. He Xianqiu was very happy as he hadn't seen him for several days.
Ji Chenzhou came back this morning. He Xianqiu was working in the office at that time. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. She lowered her head and said, "Come in."
The person who came in was Ji Chenzhou, who had not appeared for several days. She was instantly surprised.
"Why are you back?"
"I came back after finishing my work." Ji Chenzhou smiled.
As he spoke, he took out two boxes of peach blossom cakes from the bag and handed them to He Xianqiu.
"I bought this from the city. Here you are."
He Xianqiu thanked him, took it, opened one of the boxes, and took a small piece to try.
After taking a bite, her eyes lit up. This peach blossom pastry tasted very good, sweet and not greasy.
"Zhou Zhou, have one piece too, it tastes very good." He Xianqiu handed him the pastry.
Ji Chenzhou whispered "OK" and ate a piece.
The taste was indeed good. He saw many people buying them, and thinking that He Xianqiu also liked pastries, he went to buy them, and caught the last two boxes.
Ji Chenzhou wanted to buy other pastries at that time, but he didn't have enough pastry tickets, so he had to give up.
He Xianqiu ate one piece after another. Seeing that Ji Chenzhou ate one piece and didn't eat any more, she signaled Ji Chenzhou to eat quickly and join her.
Ji Chenzhou understood what she meant. He smiled, reached out to take a piece, and together with He Xianqiu, they finished the pastry.
He Xianqiu ate the last piece of pastry. She squinted her eyes. She was so happy. The pastry was so delicious.
Looking at He Xianqiu, who was like a cat that had eaten, run and drunk enough, with her eyes narrowed and the whole person looking very lazy, Ji Chenzhou really wanted to touch her head.
But thinking that this was inappropriate, I could only restrain my eager heart.
After He Xianqiu had eaten her fill, she told Ji Chenzhou that she was going to the county town.
"Zhou Zhou, the soap factory's perfumed soap and soap are ready. I want to go to the county to sell them now."
"Then I'll go too. I'm worried about you going alone." Ji Chenzhou said.
He Xianqiu thought that Ji Chenzhou had just returned and had no time to rest yet, but now he had to go out and run around with him. This was not a good idea, so she wanted to refuse.
But Ji Chenzhou saw through it, and he said, "I am also part of the soap factory, and I am not tired."
Ji Chenzhou’s attitude was so firm that He Xianqiu thought about it and agreed.
"All right."
When Ji Chenzhou saw that she agreed, he pursed his lips and smiled. After the two of them packed up, they took the letter of introduction and left the Qinggang Brigade.
The two men took a ox cart to the commune and then took a bus to the county.
There were all kinds of smells on the bus: sweat, smelly feet, duck shit, and chicken shit. The mixture of all the smells was hard to describe. It was almost like the smell of biological weapons.
He Xianqiu felt really uncomfortable after smelling the smell, so he covered his nose with a handkerchief.
There were a lot of people today and it was very crowded, so Ji Chenzhou protected He Xianqiu, fearing that someone would squeeze her or step on her.
Fortunately, after about an hour, the bus arrived at the county. He Xianqiu got off the bus and took a deep breath. At this moment, she felt that the air outside was really good.
The two came out of the station and went straight to the county shopping mall.
The county shopping mall has three floors and is quite large. It is noon now and many people are buying things in the mall, so the sales clerks are very busy.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou went directly to the shelves selling soap and perfumed soaps.
Soap and perfumed soap were in short supply, and workers had few soap coupons each month.
Moreover, the items on this shelf are relatively popular. Compared with other busy shelves, this one is very deserted at the moment.
So now the salesperson is sitting on a stool, knitting a sweater.
Seeing He Xianqiu coming over, he casually asked, "What do you want to buy?"
"Hello, we would like to promote the soap and perfumed soaps produced by our soap factory." said He Xianqiu.
The salesperson thought he had misheard and asked, "Selling soap and perfumed soap? Which soap factory are you from?"
"Yes, we are from the Qinggang Soap Factory." He Xianqiu nodded.
The salesperson was puzzled when he heard this. He had never heard of the Qinggang Soap Factory. He only knew that there was a brigade called Qinggang Brigade in the commune under the jurisdiction of the county.
Seeing the salesperson's confusion, He Xianqiu explained: "Although we are a newly established soap factory, the soaps we produce are all formally produced and of good quality."
When the salesperson heard that it was a newly established soap factory, he didn't want to deal with it. After all, he had never heard of it, so how could he know whether the quality they claimed was really good.
He Xianqiu also knew that their soap factory had just been established and few people knew about it.
It is inevitable that she would not believe in the quality, but she was not discouraged. She was very confident that she could sell them. After all, the quality of their soaps and perfumed soaps was really good.
Ji Chenzhou, who was standing by, saw the salesperson's unconvincing look and immediately lifted the cloth on the basket so that the salesperson could clearly see the soap and perfumed soaps in the basket.
The salesperson just took a glance, but she found that the quality of the soap and perfumed soap was really good. They looked very smooth and white, without any impurities.
She didn't dare to continue to be negligent, so she immediately put down her sweater, stood up and spoke.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get Director Wu."
After saying this, he left in a hurry, and soon Director Wu came over.
When Director Wu saw He Xianqiu, he asked, "Hello, comrade. Are you going to sell soap and perfumed soap?"
"Yes, hello Director Wu, take a look at our soaps and scented soaps..." He Xianqiu introduced the soaps and scented soaps.
Ji Chenzhou, who was standing next to him, showed Director Wu the soap and perfumed soap in the basket.
Director Wu took a look and was instantly surprised. He didn't expect that the soaps made by this brigade were so good.
Comparing it with the soaps and perfumed soaps on the shelves now, you can tell at a glance which one has better quality.
But it’s not enough to just look at the surface. What if it only looks good on the surface?
He Xianqiu saw what Director Wu was thinking, so he asked, "Can you get a basin of water over here? I can see what our soap and scented soap look like after washing."
Director Wu immediately asked someone to fetch a basin of water, and then took out the soap and perfumed soap from the basket.
Put it in a basin of water, rub it, and rich bubbles will immediately emerge.
The quality is really good, Director Wu thought to himself, it is very comfortable to wash your hands, and it feels like all the dirt on your hands has been washed away.
Thinking of this, Director Wu immediately asked, "What is the price of the soap and the soap?"
He Xianqiu saw that Director Wu was tempted, and immediately said, "The price of soap is 80 cents a piece, and the price of perfumed soap is 1.3 yuan a piece, but the mall buys them for the purpose of selling them, so we can give the mall a price that is 1 cent lower."
Director Wu thought about it and agreed that it was indeed a bit more expensive, two cents more expensive than the one on the shelf, but the quality was impeccable.
However, Director Wu still lowered the price: "Can it be much cheaper? Although the profit is only ten cents, considering other costs, you see..."
He Xianqiu was in a dilemma. He couldn't go any lower. After all, the soap factory still had to pay salaries and prepare raw materials.
At this time, Ji Chenzhou spoke up: "Director Wu, judging from the quality, you probably know that our production costs are not low. Not only the labor costs, but also the material costs and other costs are high, and there are also transportation costs, so we can't lower it any further, otherwise there will be no profit to be made."
Director Wu heard Ji Chenzhou's pertinent words, but he didn't know how to ask them to go down again.
Moreover, this man is really persistent. He wants to lower the price further, which should be impossible. It is good enough to make a profit of a penny.
Director Wu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, do you have a few more soaps and scented soaps here?"
"There are 650 pieces of soap, osmanthus soap and mugwort soap are 500 pieces each." He Xianqiu said.
Thinking of the shopping mall’s purchasing power and the good quality of the soaps and perfumes, beautiful girls would probably like them, so Director Wu waved his hand.
"We want them all."
"Okay, Director Wu, in order to protect the interests of both parties and to avoid unexpected factors, let's sign an agreement."
"Okay, then when can you deliver the goods?"
"Give us three days, and we will deliver the soap and perfumed soap within three days."
"OK."
Then the two signed an agreement, and Director Wu gave part of the money and tickets to He Xianqiu.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou counted the money and bills respectively, a total of 827.5 yuan and more than 800 bills.
After making sure that the amount of money and tickets was sufficient, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou put them away.
But they were not in a hurry to leave the mall. They had finally come to the county town, and He Xianqiu wanted to go shopping.
We are in the shopping mall now, so of course we can go shopping there directly.
There were a lot of things in the mall. He Xianqiu bought some snacks and went to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
This time they came out with a three-day letter of introduction, intending to sell their products in the county and then in the big shopping malls in the city.
In fact, He Xianqiu also considered looking for other factories to sell soaps and soaps, but this was too cumbersome, so it would be best to go directly to shopping malls.
After all, the mall needs a lot of soaps and soaps, and if the subsequent sales are good, then their soap factory will have loyal customers.
Moreover, this time when I came to the county town, I was very successful in selling soap and perfumed soaps and sold all the goods.
He Xianqiu became very happy when he thought of this. It seems that he needs to study more other soaps.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, they sat face to face, and Ji Chenzhou skillfully ordered the dishes that He Xianqiu liked.
Soon, the dish was ready. Ji Chenzhou went to the window to get it and paid for it.
The state-owned restaurant gave a lot of portions. He Xianqiu ate a little and then put down his chopsticks. Ji Chenzhou finished the rest of the dish alone.
Ji Chenzhou is still growing, so he eats a lot. In a short while, he has finished all the food.
After the two of them had eaten, they went to the guesthouse, and Ji Chenzhou took out the letter of introduction and gave it to the front desk clerk at the guesthouse.
The girl at the front desk glanced at them and said, "You two young couples, do you want to book a room?"
Ji Chenzhou was stunned for a moment, and blushed, "We are not husband and wife."
