Chapter 309
Yu Sui then said, "It's called soap. I didn't make much of this batch, and I didn't use a mold for the first time. Even if you can make it cheaper, when you come next time, in addition to this soap, we can also make scented soap."
Hearing that the number was small, Nord and Loft both showed regretful expressions. But when Yu Sui mentioned that it could also be made with fragrance, their eyes lit up and they asked in unison: "Is this true? Does it have the same effect as soap?"
As expected, humans are very receptive. They remembered the names after hearing them only once. Unlike the orcs, even after hearing them for several months, they still called potatoes and peanuts "big and small beans" from time to time.
Yu Sui smiled and didn't keep the secret. "I had planned to make soap a long time ago, but I was too busy with spring plowing and never got around to it."
In fact, there is another reason, that is, the weather was cold when the soap was made, there were no blooming flowers, and there was no fragrance.
Whether making perfume or gel, a large number of flowers are needed. Yu Sui can use natural magic to promote the growth of flowers, but firstly, there are no stored flower seeds, and secondly, the amount required is too large.
Lovett deeply regretted not coming earlier. He could have asked all his men and mercenaries to help with farming and making the soap!
How much can it sell for!
The feeling of gold coins flying away from his eyes was really unpleasant. Lovett felt like he had been hit by a heavy hammer. He covered his aching chest and said weakly, "Is farming more important than making soap? How much food can I buy with the money I earn from soap..."
Yu Sui smiled embarrassedly. He came from a big agricultural country and had the farming gene in his soul.
Besides, what our ancestors said was right. If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried. No matter where you are, it will not always be peaceful. When encountering war or natural disasters, gold coins alone cannot buy food. He has learned about inflation.
He always felt that food, such an important lifeline, could not have only one source. It would be best to be self-reliant. There was no country here that could protect the Heitu tribe. Even in the event of a disaster, there would be no shortage of food. They could only store more food so that they would not be afraid of encountering a crisis.
The benefits of such a policy are obvious. At least in his previous life, there were frequent riots abroad, but not in his country. Once people's most basic needs are met, they will not be easily provoked.
He had also experienced hunger and times when he couldn't buy food even though he had money. From then on, stockpiling food became his obsession.
He evaded the question by saying, "It was winter when I made the soap, and there was nothing to provide fragrance."
Loft grabbed his hand and shook it up and down, saying solemnly, "Please make it fragrant."
He had no requirements for the shape. He could find countless skilled craftsmen to carve it into any shape. As long as it could be used to make soap, and each piece was this big, he could carve out several beautiful and exquisite pieces. The nobles would definitely fight over them.
As a member of the pretentious aristocracy, no one understands the needs of the nobility better than Loft. The soap is not only loved by noble ladies, but also by those discerning men.
Nord weighed the soap lovingly, then went to the door, found someone at random, took off the person's coat, and washed the clothes with his own hands in the person's puzzled eyes.
"It's really easy to use and washes really clean!"
After rubbing a few times, a large amount of black water seeped into the basin. Far from being disgusted, Nord exclaimed in admiration.
Although soap and laundry detergents are positioned to be sold to the middle or lower class, they are necessities. Once the sales channels are opened up and everyone gets used to using them, even if the profit margin is small and the sales volume is quick, it is still a huge profit.
Yu Sui paused, holding his chin and said, "In fact, in addition to the soap for washing clothes, there is also a facial soap specifically for washing the face. It can deeply clean the dirt on the skin and improve the skin..."
Loft turned his head, his pupils seemingly transforming into the shape of gold coins in an instant. "Please make sure this is done. It's best if it's fragrant and elegant!"
Throughout history, anything related to skin care will be highly sought after.
How many ladies are addicted to milk skin care, dew facial masks, and various fruits, honey and vegetable facial masks. As long as it is related to beauty, they will do everything they can.
Especially in this materially poor alien world, the variety of skin care products used by the ladies is far less than what Yu Sui had seen in his previous life. There are milk soaps and coconut soaps specifically for washing the face, various essences, perfumes and facial masks. As long as one has money, their face will never be idle for a moment.
It's a pity that Yu Sui is not good at this. Before traveling through time, he only knew a little about it because of the overwhelming beauty advertisements. But he can definitely give it a try. Everything here is pure natural and pollution-free, and there are all kinds of spiritual plants containing spiritual power. The beauty products made here must be much better than those skin care products in his previous life that often added fluorescent agents.
He had not thought about these things before, but now he has undoubtedly found another business opportunity for the Heitu tribe, and it is a very profitable one.
He and Loft hit it off immediately and agreed that the next time the Xilen caravan came, they would trade large quantities of soap and make all the things he mentioned.
The Xilen Caravan comes to the Fantasy Continent to trade every year in late autumn. By then, the Black Map Tribe's autumn harvest is likely to be over, and they can still trade a large amount of agricultural products such as vermicelli and dried potatoes.
After agreeing on these things, Loft readily offered Yu Sui a price of one silver coin for each of the twenty or so bars of soap in his hand. For the sake of long-term cooperation, he was quite generous.
Yu Sui had the original owner's memories in his mind. Although the orcs traded in the form of barter, they also had a certain understanding of human currency. One gold coin was equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin was equal to one hundred copper coins.
In the previous life, soap could only be sold for a few dollars a piece, and one piece could be used for more than a month. If you save it, it would not be a problem to use it for a few months. The stinky soap made by Yu Sui could not be sold at all in the previous life.
Even though supplies are in short supply here, the value of soap has increased dozens of times, and the price is not bad. Yu Sui is very satisfied.
Lovett was also very satisfied. He picked up the soap and looked at it with satisfaction. He had already thought about how to brag about it and sell it for a good price after returning. He wanted to at least increase the price several times, and then lower the price a little when the quantity increased.
There are countless middle-class people in the empire who are potential customers of soap. When the price is lowered in the future, other civilians will definitely come to buy it, so there is no need to worry about sales.
This is also the reason why he was so willing to offer a high price. This young chief of the Black Map Tribe is a good helper who can bring him gold coins. If he gives up part of the profits to his partner, the return will only be greater.
No one understands business better than Loft. To retain a partner who can bring him profits, it is inevitable to pay a price, and this cub has a lot of good things in his hands.
