"Don't reply to them now. We'll wait until Mother Zhou comes over to ask me."
Tang Xiaobei replied.
Girls in brothels are also poor people, their status is worse than that of domestic slaves. Ninety-nine percent of the money they earn goes to the boss behind the scenes, and very little falls into his own hands. Tang Xiaobei can't bear to make money from them, and he sees
Not on.
If you want to sell it, just sell it directly to the madam, just like rouge and gouache.
The rouge and gouache in the brothel is not bought by the girls themselves, but purchased by the brothel and then distributed.
Tang Xiaobei's ideal is to make soap the same as rouge and gouache, a must-have for every brothel. Without it, it would be impossible to operate.
After playing around in Sister Ting's room for a while, Tang Xiaobei made sure that neither of them cared too much about using them, and then left.
"Miss Xiaobei, several girls came to ask me if I could sell soap to them."
Da Liu, who was waiting at the door, saw Tang Xiaobei coming out and asked in a low voice: "When should we start?"
"You have to be calm when doing business. Now is not the time."
Tang Xiaobei shook his head.
She had to wait until all the brothel madams could no longer sit still.
I thought I would have to wait for a few more days, but when I returned to the inn, the waiter told Tang Xiaobei that the oiran, Miss Luliu, had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Green Willow?"
Tang Xiaobei's eyes lit up slightly, sensing that the opportunity had come.
In the same small courtyard, Tang Xiaobei received Lu Liu from the Jiaofang Division.
"Miss Xiaobei, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are even more charming."
Lu Liu put down her tea cup and looked at Tang Xiaobei with envy in her eyes.
In recent days, Tang Xiaobei has become a famous figure in Fengyuefang and even the entire county's aristocratic circles, completely overshadowing her, who has been the oiran for four consecutive years.
However, this was not what she envied most about Tang Xiaobei. What really made her envious was that she could feel that Tang Xiaobei was filled with vigor and energy at this moment.
This is something that no other brothel woman has.
If possible, she would be willing to use her position as courtesan, otherwise she would be willing to sacrifice everything in exchange for being ransomed by Jin Feng.
"Miss Luliu is joking. She has been the oiran for four consecutive years, but I was eliminated in the first round. How dare I talk about my style in front of the girl?"
Tang Xiaobei flattered him, and then went straight to the point: "I wonder if Miss Luliu wants to see me for anything?"
If it were before, she would have chatted with Luliu for a long time, complimenting each other before getting down to business.
But after spending a few days with Jin Feng, she gradually learned Jin Feng's character of getting straight to the point, and felt that being polite to people she didn't know well was a waste of time.
Of course, this is also the courage that Jin Feng's trust brings to her.
"Miss Xiaobei is really straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush."
Luliu smiled and said: "I want to buy some soap from Miss Xiaobei."
"Buying soap?"
Tang Xiaobei still kept a faint smile and asked: "I wonder if Miss Luliu wants to buy it herself, or is she asking for it on behalf of the Jiaofang Secretary?"
"Is there any difference?" Luliu asked.
"If the girl comes to buy it herself, I can make the decision and give her a piece."
Tang Xiaobei said: "But if the girl represents the Jiaofang Division, then ask Mother Shen to negotiate by herself. After all, soap is not cheap."
"oh?"
Luliu's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.
Tang Xiaobei said it's not cheap, which means it can be bought.
Then her mission here today will be considered completed.
As the saying goes, those who know you best are not necessarily your friends, but your enemies.
As a competitor, Chunfenglou has been in the limelight recently, and it is impossible for Jiaofangsi not to pay attention to it.
Since the soap appeared, the values of Sister Ting and Xiao Ru have doubled several times, but many wealthy men still pay to make reservations, which illustrates the popularity of the soap.
Now it's just Sister Ting and Xiaoru, so the impact is not big, but who doesn't know that Tang Xiaobei comes from Chunfeng Tower, what if Tang Xiaobei supplies a large amount of soap to Chunfeng Tower?
The Jiaofang Division could not sit idly by and ignore this matter, so they sent Lu Liu, who had some friendship with Jin Feng, to check out Tang Xiaobei's story.
"In that case, I will report to Mother Shen and ask her to come see Miss Xiaobei when she has time."
Luliu stood up and bowed: "Then I won't disturb the girl."
"Girl, wait a moment."
Tang Xiaobei turned around and took out a wooden box: "Xiao Bei's absence has made the girl wait for a long time. This soap is Xiaobei's apology. Please accept it."
"How is this possible? It's too expensive." Luliu refuted.
But the longing in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.
"My husband had a very good impression of Miss Luliu at first, and he still remembers her when he returned home. He always praised her for her good dancing, good figure, and beauty."
Tang Xiaobei said with a smile: "Next time my husband comes to the county, he will definitely go to the priest's square to visit the girl. I hope the girl can take good care of him then."
"If your husband goes to the Jiaofang Division, I will try my best to satisfy him. This is my honor."
A flash of excitement flashed through Luliu's heart, but she still refused to accept the soap.
Jiaofangsi is the largest brothel in the county, so it is natural to buy soap. However, Tang Xiaobei has no acquaintances in Jiaofangsi, so he cannot send samples in.
If you give it away forcefully, you will be inferior.
The arrival of Luliu just solved her problem.
How could Tang Xiaobei let her go back empty-handed?
Deliberately pretending to be unhappy, she said: "The girl refuses to accept it. Could it be that she is dissatisfied with my husband and is unwilling to entertain him?"
"No, Miss Xiaobei, you misunderstood." Luliu waved her hand quickly.
"Since it's not the case, then girl, just accept it." Tang Xiaobei forcefully forced the wooden box into Luliu's hand.
When he took his hand back, he couldn't help but glance at Luliu's towering chest.
"Then I would be disrespectful."
Luliu had no choice but to accept the soap.
Watching Luliu's carriage leaving the inn, Tang Xiaobei couldn't help but smile.
She knew that the madams could hardly sit still.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Mother Shen, the old madam of Jiesifang, went to the inn to find Tang Xiaobei.
Yesterday, she had studied the soap that Luliu brought back and was impressed by its ability to remove oil and stains.
What satisfied her most was that after taking a bath with soap, her body would indeed smell good.
It is simply a toiletry product tailor-made for brothel girls.
But Mother Shen knew that she couldn't be too proactive, otherwise she would be at a disadvantage before the negotiation even started, so after meeting Tang Xiaobei, she didn't talk about buying soap, but just chatted casually.
Tang Xiaobei naturally understands this truth. She went straight to the topic with Luliu yesterday because she knew that Luliu couldn't make the decision. At most, she was here to inquire about information and was too lazy to waste time.
You can't treat Mother Shen like that.
So Tang Xiaobei was not in a hurry and just chatted with Shen's mother. Anyway, this is her current job.
Jiaofangsi was such a big stall. It was almost noon, and Mother Shen finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked:
"Miss Xiaobei, it's getting late. I won't be polite to you anymore. How do you sell the soap? You can set a price."
