Chapter 108 Soap



The old woman was overjoyed, thinking about her son's promise.

Little did you know that your own son was about to embark on a path of no return.

...

Su Muyao has been trying and trying in her space recently, and finally managed to make the soap.

The raw materials used are soapberries from the mountains.

Grandma Su looked suspiciously at the yellow things her precious child had taken out.

"Sweetie, what's this?"

"Grandma, this yellow thing is soap, it's specially used for washing clothes."

"Soap?" Grandma Su was completely baffled and had no idea what it was.

"This color is called soap, but I haven't finished making it yet, so let's sell soap first."

Upon hearing this, Su Laosan, who was standing nearby, quickly moved closer to his daughter and asked, "Are we going to get some new gadgets again?"

Su Sanlang was still thinking about the money he made each time he sold braised meat a while ago.

But his youngest daughter said that the restaurant was willing to pay two hundred taels of silver to buy the recipe, so that his family wouldn't have to work so hard.

At the time, the whole family disagreed with the little girl's insistence on starting a workshop.

Su Sanlang brought Su Muyao to the market. It happened to be a big market day, and the town was bustling with people.

"Don't miss out! This is a cheap sale on laundry products that are only available in Beijing."

When the butlers of many wealthy families heard that something came from the capital, they all gathered around to see what it was.

"Boss, what's the use of this soap you mentioned?"

Su Laosan took out a dirty cloth and said, "You have a good question, sir. This so-called soap is something that only high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital use to wash their clothes."

Everyone saw Su Laosan rub the dirty cloth with soap, then casually wash it in the water.

Soon the water in the basin became murky and filthy.

Su Laosan took out the cloth and said to everyone, "Everyone, please see that this cloth has been completely washed clean by me."

Moreover, this stuff is great for oily or dusty hands. Just rub a little on your hands, then wash them and they'll be incredibly clean and smell wonderful.

Everyone watched as that small, dirty cloth was cleaned up so easily with just a simple poke.

"My God, there's something this amazing! But boss, you don't have some inside information, do you?"

"Oh my, if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. Whether you're washing your own hands or any dirty cloth, you'll know once you try it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a female voice suddenly came from the side.

"Oh, is it that amazing? Then I'll give it a try."

"Miss, please."

At this moment, people in the crowd saw the approaching woman and quickly made way for her.

This is Miss Nangong; the Nangong family owns nearly half of the town's businesses.

"Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you try it. If it's false, then don't try to deceive people here in the future."

Nangong Qing hates swindlers and cheaters the most. Not long ago, he caught someone at the market who was using oracle bones to deceive people.

The other onlookers were also quite curious: if it wasn't the person selling the product who tried it, would it have the same effect?

The soap that Su Laosan handed over was taken by the maidservant next to Nangong Qing.

"Miss, let me try. My hands are used to working all year round."

As the maid spoke, she showed her mistress her dark, black hands.

"Okay, give it a try."

Just as Su Laosan had instructed, the little girl put her hands in the water to wet them and then rubbed the soap on them a couple of times.

I noticed that black had already started to appear on my hands. After washing them briefly in clean water, the water in the basin quickly turned black.

The little girl took her hands out of the basin, and all the black stains that had been under her fingernails and in the crevices of her hands from years of labor were gone.

"Miss, look, it's really clean now."

Wow, miss, this smells delicious!

The onlookers began to whisper among themselves.

"This stuff is great! We won't have to go through so much trouble washing clothes anymore. We can just scrub them a few times and they'll be clean."

"That's for sure, it will save so much trouble."

Seeing how useful the product was, Nangong Qing was finally relieved, realizing it wasn't a scam.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Su Muyao started shouting in her childish voice.

"Dear brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, everyone has seen the results. If you need it, you can buy it now, first come, first served. There aren't many items."

"Boss, how much is this?"

"It's not expensive, it's only 100 coins."

When everyone heard that the little dumpling would cost 100 coins, they all gasped in shock.

This deterred many people; spending 100 coins just to wash clothes is too expensive.

The next moment, many servants and stewards from wealthy families crowded to the front.

"Boss, I want one, please wrap it up for me."

"Boss, I'll have one."

"Boss, I want two."

Soon, those who were complaining about the price were pushed to the back.

Su Sanlang was stunned when his youngest daughter said one hundred coins. His daughter had never told him the price, and he thought it was only a few coins, or at most ten or twenty coins.

Who would have thought that the little girl would ask for 100 coins? I thought no one would buy it, but to my surprise, so many people were scrambling to buy it.

Su Muyao's business is doing very well; she sold out in just one morning.

I was completely stunned. My sweet child had brought 100 yuan with him, but he sold it all in one morning.

Su Laosan had no idea how he got back, only that the rare things his beloved child had made had all been sold out.

Just as I was about to leave, someone behind me heard the news and came to buy a can. It was sold out, and they even asked when I would come to reserve a few pieces.

All the way, Su Laosan was thinking about how 100 coins would equal 1000 coins, which is one tael of silver.

He sold 100 pieces of it, in just one morning!

Those who knew them thought they were going to town to sell things, but those who didn't might have thought they were going to rob the town.

After returning home, Su Laosan went to his room to report his victory to his mother.

Su Muyao stared at the little boy next door, "What are you doing in my house again?"

"What's wrong with your memory? Didn't I say I wanted to eat at your house a while ago?"

"Oh, okay, I forgot."

Long Yuan looked at the little milk ball wiping its hands with a small yellow piece, and found it quite strange.

What is this?

Su Muyao looked at the thing in her hand, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she looked up at Long Yuan.

The little boy suddenly took a step back and asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

Then, the chubby little hand put Longyuan's hand directly into the basin of water and then washed his little hand with a small yellow piece.

After washing it clean in water, he said, "Isn't it a good treasure? How about we work together?"

Long Yuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he instantly realized that this was a good thing.

In the capital, people only use Xiangyizi to wash clothes, but that stuff is worlds apart from this.

This thing certainly won't fetch a high price in this small town, but if it were transported to the capital...
