Seeing Gu An'an's calm demeanor, the group regained their confidence.
Don't ask, because if you do, it's just blind worship.
Gu An'an glanced around, then walked towards the opposite side of the supply and marketing cooperative. Although the others didn't know what she was doing, they obediently followed behind without any complaints.
"Hello comrade, is this your home?"
The boy, who was about to close the door, turned around and saw a young and beautiful girl smiling at him. A blush immediately crept up his ears.
"Um, yes, comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's like this..."
Gu An'an explained their predicament and requests, "So I'd like to borrow your land for a bit. Don't worry, whether our deal goes through or not, I'll give you five bars of soap."
These days, you need money and coupons to buy things. Although soap isn't as expensive as watches or bicycles, borrowing a place is like getting it for free. Anyone would be tempted, especially when it's such a beautiful girl making the request.
"Um, okay, then you guys come in first."
As soon as they entered the house, an old voice rang in their ears, "Xiao Liang, you're back?"
"Yes, Grandma, I'm back."
As soon as she finished speaking, an elderly woman with a cane came out of the room. She was a little confused to see so many people in the house all of a sudden.
"Xiao Liang, is this your friend?"
Although the old man's eyes had begun to yellow and his health seemed poor, he had a kind face. Gu An'an stepped forward and explained her purpose.
"It's alright. Since Xiao Liang has already agreed, you can just use it."
The old man didn't ask any more questions. He sat in the corner with his cane, watching them work. His eyes were filled with a rare calmness and peace.
"Sister Gu, what should we do now?"
Gu An'an looked directly at the young man and said, "Could we boil some water at your place? Don't worry, we'll make up for the cost of the firewood and water."
The young man waved his hand, "No need, no need. It's nothing valuable. You can use it directly."
Upon hearing that they were going to hold a free laundry service, the young man even offered his own laundry tub.
Once everything was ready, Gu An'an asked Ma Jianbin to go out and promote the event on the street: a manufacturer's promotion offering free trials of Rose brand soap and washing two pieces of clothing for each household.
These days, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if they could only help wash two pieces of clothing, people who heard the news still thought it would be a fool not to take advantage of the situation, so they rushed home, grabbed two dirty pieces of clothing, and ran over here.
Within two minutes, a long queue had formed at the entrance.
"Comrade, do you offer free laundry services here?"
"Yes, each household washes two items. The main reason is to let everyone know about our factory's new rose soap."
Gu An'an held up a bar of soap with a rose pattern and showed it to everyone. "This lady came first. Lady, give me your clothes and I'll wash them for you."
Seeing that there were many people, the young boy took out two more wooden basins. Not only that, but seeing that they were all busy, he also helped boil two more pots of water.
With three wooden tubs, three people can work together, greatly reducing the pressure on the team.
The older sister brought out her youngest son's coat. For a child who only likes to play on the ground and gets covered in food while eating, it's easy to imagine how dirty the clothes would be.
With hot water available, the clothes weren't too cold to wash. After soaking them in hot water, Gu An'an carefully lathered them with soap before scrubbing them.
Gu An'an was very confident in the soaps she had made. After all, she had found the soaps and bar soaps available at the time to be unusable, which was why she had gone to the trouble of making a batch herself.
So when she gently rubbed and washed the clothes, the dirt on them decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Wow, this Rose brand soap is really good. I usually have to put in a lot of effort to wash these two pieces of clothing, but you only scrubbed them a couple of times and the stains came off so much."
"Of course, this is our factory's exclusive formula, and its stain removal ability is stronger than that of products on the market."
Gu An'an carefully washed the clothes and spoke gently, which made her older sister like her even more.
"Why go through all this trouble to promote such a good product? Why not just provide it directly to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Nowadays, free trade markets are all underground. Generally, goods produced in factories are directly supplied to supply and marketing cooperatives, which then sell them in a unified manner.
Therefore, most people still couldn't understand why Gu An'an and her group were making such a big fuss about it.
“We are a new product and we don’t have the brand recognition of other products. So, if we don’t approach the supply and marketing cooperatives to discuss cooperation, they won’t pay any attention to us.”
Gu An'an wouldn't hide anything for the other party. "However, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the north will start distributing the goods tomorrow. I just wanted to let everyone know about our Rose brand soap. If you have time to go there, you can buy some while you're there."
As they spoke, the two pieces of clothing the woman had brought were washed and cleaned. The woman was genuinely pleasantly surprised to see the clothes restored to their original condition.
"They don't even want something this good? What are they thinking?"
Seeing that a lot of people had come, Ma Jianbin stopped shouting. He had just entered the house when he heard this, and immediately said, "They have products to sell, and they don't even want to pay attention to us."
That tone was definitely emotional.
"The stuff they sell is nowhere near as good as this. With their stuff, you have to use a whole tube of it and apply it several times to get my child's clothes clean. Unlike this, you can get them clean with just one application."
Although it's still a bit stubborn and old-fashioned, it's so much better than when she washed it herself before. Most importantly, it saves her time and effort.
