Chapter 202 Scented Soap



Xiao Lei replied.

"Alright then, everything should be fine. You should wash your faces and feet and get some rest."

Now that the weather is cold, people don't shower every day anymore; they only shower every two or three days.

The next morning, Wei Yuyan saw the two children off and then took out the scented soap from yesterday, intending to pour it out to see if it had worked.

"Sister-in-law~".

Before I even opened the door, Sister-in-law Xiuhua arrived and knocked on it from the outside.

"Hey, you've come at the perfect time, Sister-in-law Xiuhua. Do you know why I called you here today?"

Wei Yuyan smiled.

"I don't know, I guess it might be something delicious."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua came in but didn't forget to close the door.

"Haha, there's nothing good to eat today."

Wei Yuyan pointed to the bamboo tube on the table.

"What's this?".

Sister-in-law Xiuhua also sat down.

"Fragrant soap".

Wei Yuyan took out a kitchen knife and prepared to split the bamboo tube.

"What, scented soap? No wonder my Xiaoya said she washed her hands with scented soap yesterday, is this it?"

Xiuhua's sister-in-law was curious about why the scented soap was inside the bamboo tube.

"No, the soap I bought was for washing their hands yesterday. I made this."

Wei Yuyan explained.

"Oh, you can even make scented soap?"

Sister-in-law Xiuhua was even more shocked, looking at Wei Yuyan in disbelief.

"This is my first time making it, and I don't know if it's successful, so I asked you to come and take a look."

As they were talking, the bamboo tube was already opened.

Wow, so white!

Sister-in-law Xiuhua stared wide-eyed at the long, white bar of soap.

"Let's cut it open and try washing our hands and clothes."

Wei Yuyan thought the texture was pretty good, but she didn't know if it would work well. She used a kitchen knife to cut the soap into five pieces, each about three fingers thick.

"I'm going to fetch water."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua went to fetch warm water.

Then, the two of them started washing their hands. The condition of the Xiangyizi hand sanitizer after washing was about the same as the one she bought yesterday.

The layer of grease effectively removes dirt and is easy to rinse off; it seems to have been successful.

"Sister-in-law, I never knew you could make scented soap. You're really amazing."

No wonder you said last time that you were quite good at eating; it turns out it was true.

"Sister-in-law Xiuhua sighed."

"Hmm, smell it, it has a fragrance."

Wei Yuyan smelled her hands; they had a faint scent of gardenias.

"Ugh...!"

Before Xiuhua's sister-in-law could even smell it, she suddenly started gagging.

"What's wrong, Sister-in-law Xiuhua? Even if this doesn't smell very good, it shouldn't make you want to vomit."

Wei Yuyan joked and immediately poured a glass of water for Sister-in-law Xiuhua.

Xiuhua's sister-in-law touched her chest and took a few deep breaths before feeling a little better.

"I think I ate something bad this morning. I ate leftovers from yesterday, and I feel a little unwell."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law took the water, drank a sip, and was fine afterward.

"It's best not to leave any leftovers, Sister-in-law Xiuhua, I have to talk to you about this."

Meat dishes can be kept for two days in this weather, but vegetable dishes should never be kept overnight.

Wei Yuyan looked at Sister-in-law Xiuhua seriously.

"Okay, I understand. I'm still used to being frugal. I used lard to fry it yesterday, and there was a little left, so I couldn't bear to throw it away."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua wants to cook less food in the future to avoid leftovers and stomach upset.

"I'll make some rice porridge when I get back."

Wei Yuyan wanted to give some advice.

"Okay, it's nothing really. By the way, are you planning to sell this scented soap?"

Once Sister-in-law Xiuhua recovered, she started talking about the fragrant soap again.

"I had this idea, but I could only find gardenias on the mountain, and there weren't any other suitable flowers."

Wei Yuyan took out the remaining flowers and showed them to her sister-in-law Xiuhua.

"This isn't a gardenia, is it? Isn't this a camellia?"

Xiuhua's sister-in-law was surprised, wondering where gardenias came from at this time of year.

Gardenias are usually in spring, so where would you find them in winter? Turns out they're camellias.

"Ah, I thought this was called gardenia, but it turns out it's called camellia."

Wei Yuyan suddenly realized that what she had picked was a camellia, which looked very much like a gardenia.

"Hmm, this camellia also has a particularly refreshing fragrance."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua smelled the scent of soap on her hands.

When Wei Yuyan heard Sister-in-law Xiuhua mention refreshing things, she thought of something good: mint leaves.

If you add mint leaves to soap, it will definitely feel very comfortable after washing.

"If we were to sell them, how much do you think would be a suitable price per piece? I bought one yesterday for twenty coins."

Wei Yuyan was a little conflicted about whether to sell it for ten or fifteen coins.

"Isn't fifteen coins too expensive?"

Xiuhua's sister-in-law thought that if she wanted her business to be good, it would be better to have small profits but quick turnover.

"How about selling it for twelve coins?"

Wei Yuyan thought that ten coins were still too little.

"The price depends on whether you want to sell it from a stall or rent a shop."

If Sister-in-law Xiuhua wants to set up a stall, she can have ten or twelve coins.

"Too".

Wei Yuyan thought that she would definitely set up a stall to sell at first and see if anyone would buy.

"Then you'll sell them yourself?"

Sister-in-law Xiuhua asked with a smile.

"I won't sell it myself, maybe I'll have my brother-in-law sell it, what do you think?"

Wei Yuyan originally wanted to suggest that her sister and brother-in-law sell steamed buns in their own town, but now she also felt that selling steamed buns was too hard work.

You have to get up so early, but making scented soap is different; you can eat and sleep regularly. My brother-in-law can do it all by himself.

"But I heard your brother-in-law isn't very talkative, will this sell?"

If Sister-in-law Xiuhua wanted to sell steamed buns, she could sell them without saying a word, but selling scented soap would require some introduction, right?

I had previously heard my older brother say that my sister-in-law's brother-in-law was not very talkative.

"That's true, my brother-in-law's mouth isn't as good as my sister's. Maybe I should let my sister sell herself?"

Wei Yuyan thought it would be good for her brother-in-law to take care of the child while her sister went to sell the soap.

"Should we sell it over there, or here?"

Sister-in-law Xiuhua thought that they actually lived quite far away.

“It’s best to sell here. If there are any problems, I can provide timely guidance, but the choice is in their own hands.”

Wei Yuyan wasn't sure if her sister and brother-in-law wanted to leave their hometown and come here to make money.

Alternatively, they could sell here for a year, master the production methods and sales techniques, and then return to their original location to sell.

"Are you selling this year? You've been really busy this year."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law thought that there was only a little over a month left in the year, and her younger brother and sister-in-law were moving to a new house, so she was afraid that it would be too late.

"We probably won't be able to sell them this year, mainly because they don't have much fragrance."

Wei Yuyan was thinking that there would be quite a lot to do if she moved to her new house next month.

"Or, if we don't want to sell them, we can prepare them and store them, then sell them directly next year. What do you think?"

Xiuhua's sister-in-law suggested.

"Hmm, that's a great suggestion."
