Military Camp
Qin Fang didn't need anyone to call him today. When the time came, he came out of the tent by himself.
"Boss Qin, your wife hasn't come to deliver food yet."
"Boss Qin, you are so lucky. Your sister-in-law comes to deliver food to you every day."
"Boss Qin, what will your sister-in-law deliver today?"
Qin Fang: "Go and eat your food. You will know when you get a wife soon."
The soldiers chuckled.
Qin Fang walked to the back door of the military camp. He sat on the stone where he had dinner yesterday for a while, and then he saw the annoying woman coming over with a basket. He quickly got up and ran over.
Yang Haiyan was a little surprised: "Why did you come out?"
Qin Fang: "Is it heavy? I'll carry it."
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she knew that the man knew how to care for her, which was a good start. She handed the basket to Qin Fang and said coquettishly, "It's so heavy, my hands are sore from carrying it."
Qin Fang: "..." What to do? Give money to buy ointment? "Then don't come tomorrow, you should have a good rest."
Yang Haiyan: "It's okay, I'll send you something simple tomorrow."
Qin Fang: "Then go get some ointment to apply on your hands tomorrow." Qin Fang wanted to slap himself again.
Yang Haiyan: "It's okay, just take a rest."
The two came to the stone, Qin Fang opened the cloth on the basket first, and inside was a small earthenware jar and a large lunch box. The amount of rice was not as much as the noodles yesterday, because there was also a clay jar of soup.
The soup exuded a strong smell of fried fish, and the soup was thick and white. Even if there was only one dish, Qin Fang tasted the red and prosperous taste. He thought to himself, this woman's craftsmanship is really good.
But, this is fish and tofu, is the money enough?
Qin Fang was eating, and Yang Haiyan also asked curiously: "Husband, when you finish your duty this month, will you invite your superiors and comrades to your home for dinner?"
Qin Fang paused.
Yang Haiyan: "We should also invite them to have a drink at the wedding banquet, right?"
Qin Fang: "Okay, I'll notify everyone and tell you in advance." With this woman's craftsmanship, it must be good. But, it costs money again. However, when others got married, they also invited him to dinner, so this is indeed what he should do. He had not thought about it before, but now that she mentioned it, he could not pretend not to know.
Yang Haiyan returned to the town and went to the carpenter's workshop first. The wooden soap model she ordered was already ready. When she returned home, the soap she made early yesterday morning had already become solid.
So Yang Haiyan cut the soap. Because the bowl is round, the soap is also round, so she cut it in a tic-tac-toe pattern and cut it into 9 small pieces. A total of 150 grams, each piece is about 15 grams.
After cutting, Yang Haiyan used the freshly-made soap to wash her hands. The soap with a hint of rose scent was very satisfying to use. The cost of these 9 small pieces of soap is no more than 5 wen, and each piece does not cost 1 wen, but if you sell it, it is no problem to buy each piece for 5 wen. This soap can be used for washing hands, bathing, and washing face.
In addition to reselling pig intestines, Yang Haiyan thought of this method. She decided to find a marketing point, thinking that Qin Fang's monthly allowance was indeed not enough to support her, so she had to make money. The marketing point is naturally the rouge shop, so which one should she choose?
This is Yongzhou, where the Yonghe Marquis is seated. Half of the Yonghe Marquis' family is in the capital, and the Yonghe Marquis, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's wife are all in Yongzhou. The Crown Prince is the next Yonghe Marquis, so he must also be trained here to take on this responsibility from an early age. After the Crown Prince inherits the title, the old marquis will return to the capital. If the Crown Prince's wife already has a legitimate son, who is the next Crown Prince, then she must also return to the capital, leaving the next Crown Prince here.
To put it bluntly, it is to return to the capital as a hostage.
In the novel, the heroine Yang Dahua caught the eye of the Crown Prince's wife, and the hero also rose from a hundred households to a thousand households, and later to a general, because of the Crown Prince's wife's pillow talk on the Crown Prince's side.
But Yang Haiyan didn't care about these, and she wouldn't deliberately snatch the heroine's opportunity. Even if Qin Fang was a centurion for his whole life, they just needed to live in peace. What she was thinking now was that Yongzhou was the territory of Yonghe Marquis's Mansion, so naturally there were also properties of Yonghe Marquis's Mansion, and the Crown Prince's wife married to Yongzhou, so Yongzhou naturally also had her private property.
Women's private properties were mostly shops.
The Crown Prince's wife was the heroine's noble, and Yonghe Marquis's Mansion was the hero's noble. There was no need to doubt the character of nobles, so... she wanted to put the marketing point of soap in the Crown Prince's wife's shop.
The novel describes that the wife of the prince gave the heroine her own shop to thank her for helping her. The shop sold rouge and powder. The money was not much, but it was enough to make a living. So... she sent the soap there, and it became the heroine's shop in the future, and her business was also booming.
Yang Haiyan found this shop, and the name of the shop was Yongji. It was easy to remember, Yong in Yonghe Marquis's Mansion.
Yang Haiyan walked into Yongji, and the waiter immediately came up to her: "Madam, do you need to buy anything? Let me introduce it to you." As soon as you saw Yang Haiyan's hairstyle, you knew she was a woman.
Yang Haiyan: "Hello, brother. I want to meet the shopkeeper. I have recently made some things that girls and ladies like. I want to discuss a business with the shopkeeper."
Yang Haiyan is beautiful, with a gentle voice and polite manner. The waiter was happy to hear her and immediately went to find the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked about 40 years old, with a pair of eyes with a bit of sullenness, but with a smile on his face: "Madam, please come in. I wonder what business you want to discuss with me?"
Yang Haiyan took out the soap: "This is called soap. The usage is the same as soap. As for the effect after use... Shopkeeper, you can wash your hands and try it first."
The shopkeeper picked it up and looked at it. The milky white soap looked very beautiful, and he also smelled a fragrance. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he took it and tried it.
Afterwards, the shopkeeper was shocked and talked to Yang Haiyan about business: "Madam, how do you plan to negotiate this business?" He was the shopkeeper, of course he was smart, and he saw a business opportunity in this soap.
Yang Haiyan: "I made this myself, and I plan to sell it to Yongji. How much do you want, shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper: "Madam, you have great craftsmanship, you can actually make this thing, then..." He wanted to ask for the recipe, but he was not in a hurry. He decided to cooperate first, and then investigate the other party before making a decision. "Then how many pieces of soap can you provide per month?"
Yang Haiyan could make as many as she wanted, but she didn't plan to make more. If she made too much, this thing would be worthless. So he said: "I can make 100 pieces per month. If the price is right, I can promise that this soap will only be supplied to your family."
100 pieces is too little. Such a good thing, if the young ladies of each family stock up a few pieces, it will not be enough for more than ten families. The shopkeeper said: "Make more per month, preferably 200 pieces, and I will buy it from you at 15 cents per piece."
Yang Haiyan was stunned. This thing is so expensive.
Seeing her expression, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile: "We never take advantage of others, and the price we give to you is very fair. If you go to other places, you will definitely bargain. But your things are really good. Generally, an embroiderer will take two days to embroider a handkerchief, and the most ordinary one will cost four or five cents, but the things she gets are not as good as your soap."
Yang Haiyan: "Then I will accept the favor, thank you."
The shopkeeper: "Madam Since you can send things here, you must know our Yongji's character. Madam, can you send goods every month in the first, middle and last days? 100 yuan on the first day of the first month, 50 yuan on the 11th day of the second month and 50 yuan on the 21st day of the last month. "
Yang Hai: "Today is August 28th, so I will send it on the first day of September, because I have some stock at home."
The shopkeeper didn't ask much, and smiled and said, "Okay."
Then, they signed two copies of the agreement.
Yang Haiyan returned home and made soap liquid with all the remaining lard. The remaining 1,400 grams of lard was poured into a soap mold after it was made. However, the soap mold was large, and each mold could hold about 100 grams of soap liquid, so it had to be cut open, and there were 100 pieces after cutting.
On the first day of September, Yang Haiyan took the solid soap out of the mold. There were 20 rectangular solid soaps in total. She cut each into five pieces. The originally rectangular soap became square after being cut into five pieces.
After cutting, she put it in a basket and covered it with a cloth. She went to Yongji.
The shopkeeper had been waiting at Yongji early in the morning. When he saw Yang Haiyan coming, he was finally relieved. However, after Yang Haiyan went back, he found out Yang Haiyan's identity. Her husband was Qin Fang, the head of the hundred households, and he was under the command of the prince. He was barely one of them, so he was relieved about her identity. After being relieved, the shopkeeper became more friendly to Yang Haiyan.
"Mrs. Qin is here."
Yang Haiyan had not intended to hide her identity from the other party, so she did not doubt it at all when the other party found out. "Shopkeeper, I've brought the soap, come and count the goods."
The shopkeeper said, "Okay." It's one thing to be one's own people, but doing business should be clear. After counting the total amount of 100 pieces, the shopkeeper paid 1 tael of silver and 500 copper coins.
Yang Haiyan: "Shopkeeper, I have a suggestion."
The shopkeeper: "Please speak, Madam Qin."
Yang Haiyan: "You can ask someone to make a wooden box or a purse. The soap can be put into the purse or the wooden box. This will increase the selling price."
The shopkeeper thought about it and gave Yang Haiyan a thumbs up: "Madam Qin really has a business mind."
Yang Haiyan: "It's just that my idea is not worthy of being accepted by the upper class."
After leaving Yongji, Yang Haiyan happily went to the vegetable market and received 1,500 coins. Together with the remaining 1,232 coins, she had 2,732 coins in total. Not only did she get back the 1,300 coins that Qin Fang gave her, but she also had 1,432 coins more. Yang Haiyan was very happy.
Yang Haiyan decided to supplement herself and Qin Fang. She bought 5 jin of soybeans, 10 jin of rice, two pig trotters, two jin of lean meat, eggplant, winter melon, and some cloth. She spent 353 wen in total.
She took the vegetables and meat home. She bought the soybeans and rice from the same place and had them delivered.
