Chapter 308
Loft was reluctant to sell the berry wine he exchanged here last time, and kept it all for himself.
Compared to his love for gold coins, he loves fine wine more...
It's not like he hasn't had wine made by a fifth-level brewer, but this is the first time he's tasted wine of this flavor. It's very fresh, and even though he tried to drink it sparingly, he finished the whole can quickly.
Unfortunately, the weather was not what he wanted, and he was so anxious that he got blisters on his mouth.
The Black Map Tribe is no longer dispensable. It has become another partner of the Xilen Caravan. Not only for the fine wine, but also for the person who wants to stay here. Either of these two reasons is enough to elevate the status of the Black Map Tribe in Loft's heart.
Yu Sui was secretly happy. Partners had a higher status than mere consumers. At least the members of the Xilen caravan would no longer look down on his people.
Although the tribesmen do not care what humans think, just as they do not like humans.
But Yu Sui still hoped that his people would not suffer any injustice. He really didn't like the contemptuous looks from the members of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Okay, thank you very much." Yu Sui did not refuse any more.
He moved the snacks aside to make room in the center, and placed the goods he brought on the table one by one.
Loft originally thought that this time, apart from furs and magic cores, he would at most gain a few cans of berry wine or the highly acclaimed candy. However, he did not expect that the items on the table would overwhelm him, as he had never seen any of them before.
He picked up a cube out of curiosity. The pale yellow block looked very much like candy, but the taste was really not good.
Thinking about the sweet and fruity candies that Yu Sui brought last time, Loft tried to take a bite out of disbelief. Fortunately, Yu Sui saw it and quickly stopped him from taking a bite.
"This is not edible!" He almost broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't add any spices to this first batch of handmade soap (the tribe didn't have such high-end things). This kind of soap was called stinky soap in his hometown, so you can imagine how it tasted.
But he didn't expect Loft to actually try to taste it. Yu Sui said with a smile: "This is the soap I made for washing clothes. It has a strong cleaning ability. It is very useful for ordinary people to wash clothes."
Usually, the magicians in the Chamber of Commerce take turns to perform cleaning magic on Loft, and there is also a special person to wash his clothes. He has been pampered since he was a child and has never washed clothes by hand.
However, he had seen maids washing clothes. They used high-quality shell ash bought from the sea people to wash the clothes, and then dripped fragrant dew on the clothes. As for how ordinary people washed clothes, he really didn't know.
Putting down the cube in his hand awkwardly, Loft gave a dry laugh. "Is this something for washing clothes? I've never seen that before."
Yu Sui was also curious and asked, "What do humans use to wash clothes?"
Loft said, "My family uses sea creature shell powder for laundry. As for the common people, they should wash their clothes in the river?"
It seemed that the lifestyle of the people here was similar to what Yu Sui had expected, or perhaps even a little rougher. But at least they didn't use urine to wash. He remembered reading in an encyclopedia magazine that people in ancient Europe used urine to wash clothes, and there were even people who specialized in collecting urine to sell...
Ugh, just thinking about Yu Sui makes me sick. I don’t know how the ancient Western people came up with so many anti-human methods, such as high heels to avoid stepping on poop and wide skirts to make it convenient to urinate and defecate at any time. He is also drunk.
Yu Sui pointed at the soap and said mysteriously, "President Loft, please have someone find a piece of dirty clothes and test the soap's ability on the spot. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
Seeing his expression, Loft also became curious. If what the cub said was true, then this thing would be easy to sell.
He called in a servant, "Use this to wash your dirty clothes. Wash them right here."
The servant didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't dare to resist his master's order. He obediently brought a basin of water, took off his clothes that were covered in dust from the journey, and put them in the basin.
The servant didn't have a magician to perform a cleansing spell on him, so the original color of his cotton clothes could no longer be seen, and the water in the basin turned gray almost instantly.
Loft could hardly hide his disgust, but for the sake of the effect of the block, he stood there and watched.
This is because he often travels with people. Other nobles would have stayed away from him long ago.
In contrast to him, Yu Sui was very happy. The dirtier the clothes were, the more effective the soap would be. He handed the soap to the servant and said, "Put this on the clothes and rub it back and forth. Rub it a few more times before washing."
The servant obediently followed his instructions and rubbed the clothes back and forth with soap several times before starting to wash. Unexpectedly, the clothes in his hands began to produce white foam like waves. The water, which was originally gray, turned black after the servant rubbed it a few times.
This scene was like a miracle. The servant looked at the clothes in the basin in shock. The clothes he washed with river water before were all stains and could not be cleaned at all. Every time he came home, his wife would scrub them with burnt ashes, which was cleaner than just rinsing them with river water. However, it was never as fast and clean as it was now. The dirt was almost melted away in an instant.
Loft didn't care about the dirt at this moment. Seeing the effect, he knew that the opportunity to make money had come. "Nord! Nord! You must be outside. Come in and take a look!"
He called out to the outside of the tent.
Nord, who originally wanted to wait for Loft to finish his business and then exchange some wine for him alone, walked in reluctantly.
"Show him again!" Loft ordered the servant.
The male servant was ecstatic. He was the first one to use such a good thing. It turned out that he was the most trusted servant of the president!
He quickly fished out the clothes, changed the basin to clean water, put the mostly clean clothes into the water, and repeated the previous process.
Nord's eyes widened in shock. He accidentally pulled out a tuft of his beard with too much force. Ignoring the pain in his jaw, he quickly walked over, picked up the wet square object, and exclaimed, "What is this! It's so effective!"
In fact, when he saw it, the servant's clothes had already been washed once, and the effect was not as obvious as when they were just put into the water. Even so, Nord was still surprised.
The methods used by humans in other worlds to wash clothes are still quite poor. Nobles and royal families usually use magicians to keep clothes clean, and the cost of each operation is quite high.
In addition, the shell powder of the sea creatures is relatively cheap and ordinary people cannot afford it, so most people still use wood ash.
Those who are a little richer will fumigate it with spices, while those who are even richer will add a little scented dew.
In this case, soap simply stands out.
