Chapter 17 Visiting the brothel
…
Seeing Cai Shen lifting the magpie up and arching the magpie's face intimately, Su Niang wanted to open her mouth and say something!
But after the words came to his mouth, Su Niang swallowed back what she wanted to say, and then turned her head aside.
She is just an ordinary woman in this feudal society, an ordinary woman who must rely on men to survive.
Moreover, it is not difficult to accept with the trend, and it may even be better for her and her daughter Magpie.
Therefore, the smart Su Niang chose to ignore Xi Mai and Cai.
Cai still teased the magpie for a while and made her laugh, then hugged the magpie into the wing room.
Su Niang did not follow in - she stood outside the door instead of Xixi and refused to let anyone get close to the wing room.
As soon as Cai Jian and Xique came in, Yan Shun and Li He stopped their work and came over together.
Cai still let go of the magpie and asked, "How are you doing, how many kinds have you made?"
Li He replied: "According to what the young master said, we made fifteen kinds of essential oils, and then added various essential oils, milk, and honey to the soap solution. Now we have fifteen kinds of soaps."
After a pause, Li He said: "However, nine of them, Shunge and I don't think they are successful. Their fragrance is either too pungent, not obvious enough, or they don't smell good. There are four petals that are not easy to collect. It is difficult to make essential oils. Now they can be directly put into production, and there are only two types of them that are made in large quantities."
While talking, Li He and Yan Shun led Cai Jian to the soap they had made.
There are 15 plates in total, and Li He and Yan Shun have divided the numbers according to the number of two, four and nine.
Cai still dragged a plate from the "two" first, and then cut a small piece with a knife.
After smelling it, the fragrance of locust flowers came to my nose.
To be honest, this fragrance is far inferior to the fragrance emitted by the locust flower soap that Cai Shan sniffed later in life - its fragrance is a bit too strong.
However, even so, Cai still feels that it should have a market in this era, after all, there are not as many kinds of soaps as compared in later generations.
What's more, they can continue to develop and improve.
Cai still cut a small piece from another plate of soap and smelled it.
What surprised Cai was that the soap was actually emitting the fragrance of sandalwood.
Cai still doesn't remember teaching Yan Shun and Li He to make essential oils with things other than flower petals, "Is this what they studied by themselves?"
Li He quickly gave a answer to Cai Jian. He said: "This sandalwood essential oil was developed by Brother Shun himself. He crushed the sandalwood and soaked it in water. Then he put the soaked sandalwood into the still you invented. He got sandalwood essential oil."
Cai still looked at Yan Shun with a shy face and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that my cheap brother-in-law is actually a research talent."
Cai still encouraged Yan Shun and said, "I did a good job, but I didn't disappoint."
Yan Shun said timidly: "I...I just try it casually...I never thought...I never thought it would succeed."
Cai still said: "Dare to try is the most precious quality for developers, not to mention that you have another precious quality that developers must have - wonderful ideas. You can think of using sandalwood to make essential oils, which many people would never imagine."
Cai Shen said with the trend: "You will be responsible for the development of soap in the future. Don't be afraid of waste or make mistakes. I hope you can try it boldly and give me some surprises."
Yan Shun grew up so old, for the first time, someone praised him so much and asked him to take charge of such a big thing, so he was very excited. He said, "I will do my best... to do my best!"
Cai Shen patted Yan Shun on the shoulder and said nothing more.
Then, Cai still turned his head and ordered Li He: "Don't participate in research and development anymore. Go and do a few things for me."
Li He replied: "No."
Cai Shen said: "The first thing is to find a shop on Yu Street. The location should be good, the place should be large, and the decoration should be exquisite. It has nothing to do with renting or buying."
When Li He heard this, he understood that Cai was still preparing to sell soap, and he was likely to be the shopkeeper of the shop.
Li He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "No."
Cai still said again: "The second thing is to find a larger and more secret place in a place that is not too far from the shop. It will be used to produce soap, and other things may be produced in the future."
Li He said: "No."
Cai still continued: "Go and buy some children aged seven to ten, boys and girls. Remember, don't buy those kidnapped children, but those children who can't survive."
Children are much more controllable than adults, especially those who cannot survive.
Moreover, there is no saying that child labor is not allowed in this era. On the contrary, buying these children who cannot survive is accumulating good deeds, which is a manifestation of kindness.
Li He understood that Cai was still planning to use his children to produce soap. He said: "You don't need to buy such children. Jianghuai suffered heavy floods last year, and they were all displaced people. I asked my brother to go there and I will definitely attract a hundred suitable children for the young master."
Children from other places are obviously better controlled than those from local places. Li He obviously considers it more thoroughly than Cai.
Cai Shen nodded secretly and said, "Just do what you said. In a while, you can get a hundred pieces of money from Su Niang. As your brother's money for this trip, tell your brother that if he does this matter well, I will never treat him badly."
Li He said: "No."
Cai still said again: "You go find me some craftsmen, carpenters, cobblers, papermakers, and lacquers. The more you have, the better..."
...
A few days later.
The first generation of soap gift boxes designed and supervised by Cai Shen himself came out.
This gift box is still fully referenced by Cai, uh, well, it fully plagiarized a perfume packaging box from Chanel in later generations.
In order to make the gift box look more stylish, Cai still "wrote" another poem engraved on the gift box.
If life is just like the first meeting, what if the autumn wind is sad and painted a fan?
The old friends' hearts change easily, but the old friends' hearts change easily.
After the songs in Mount Li, the night is half gone, and the tears are raining and bells will never complain.
How can I be as happy as a man in a brocade and wish to be together on the same day?
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available.
On this day, for his own east wind, Cai still found Cai Tao and said, "Liangyuan sings and dances so well, and the wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. I remembered that I had fun for a young man, and the lights went up to Fan Tower late at night. It is said that Fan Tower is the first floor in the world, and Li Shishi is the first prostitute in the ages. Can the fourth brother take me to see it?"
Unexpectedly, when Cai Tao heard this, he laughed and said, "Sixth brother, sixth brother, I thought you were very serious and not good at women. I don't want you to go and visit the brothels too!"
