When Mother Shen heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
He came out with 300 yuan all at once and said he didn't come prepared. What a liar.
But knowing that Tang Xiaobei was deceiving her, Mother Shen could only hold her nose and admit it.
"Then give me thirty yuan."
"Mother Shen, wait a moment, I'll have someone make arrangements."
Tang Xiaobei took two steps, then turned around and asked: "By the way, Mother Shen, there are several scents of soap, which one do you want?"
"The smell is still different?" Shen's mother asked in surprise.
"Yes, there are osmanthus, jasmine, gardenia, orchids, plum blossoms..."
Tang Xiaobei pointed out the scent of the soap with his fingers: "The one Miss Luliu brought back yesterday was scented with osmanthus."
"Can I smell it?" Shen's mother's curiosity was also aroused.
"Of course," Tang Xiaobei said to Alan who was standing aside: "Sister Alan, go and get a copy of each soap."
"Okay miss."
Alan agreed and went out.
After a while, a row of small boxes was placed in front of Mother Shen.
"Well, this is from osmanthus... This is from jasmine, it smells good... This is from gardenia, it smells so good..."
Mother Shen opened the boxes one by one, identifying them one by one, and the expression on her face became more and more exciting.
If there is only the scent of osmanthus, then thirty boxes are enough. With so many scents, how many boxes of each kind should not be included?
Women are not naturally resistant to scents. The more Mother Shen smelled these scents, the more she liked them. She finally got a little addicted and ordered eighty boxes in one go.
When I left, I was still a little bit unsatisfied. I felt that I didn’t have enough money today, so I should buy more. It would be better if I could cover the entire three hundred yuan.
Tang Xiaobei stood at the door, watching Mother Shen's leaving figure, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.
She knew that her plan had succeeded!
After Shen's mother returns, the soap's influence will further expand.
But what Tang Xiaobei didn't expect was that the influence of soap through Jiaofangsi was much greater than she expected.
After Shen's mother returned, she handed out the soap.
And depending on the girl’s personality, the soap given out is also different.
Those who are lively and cute will be given soaps with strong scents such as osmanthus and gardenia, while those with a cooler personality or those who are more artistic young women will be given soaps with cooler scents such as plum blossoms, orchids, and jasmine.
Under the encouragement of Mother Shen, the news that every girl in Jiaofangsi used soap quickly spread throughout Fengyuefang.
The name of the soap has long spread throughout Guangyuan County, but because of Tang Xiaobei's deliberate control, not many people have seen it.
The more this happens, the more people are interested in soap.
In an era when entertainment was scarce, it was rare for everyone to have fun. That night, the door of the Jiaofangsi was almost crowded by the admiring guests.
In just one night, Jiaofangsi's sales exceeded the total of the previous six days, far exceeding the cost of buying soap.
There are only so many people visiting brothels in the county. There are more customers from Jiaofangsi, but there are fewer other brothels.
How can other brothel madams still sit still?
Mother Zhou from Chunfeng Tower ran to the inn that night.
As soon as she saw Tang Xiaobei, Zhou's mother wiped her tears and began to cry: "Xiaobei, my life has been sad since you left Chunfeng Tower. Now I have finally recovered a little bit, and you are doing this again. How can you let mom live?"
Mother Zhou was not pretending this time, she really shed tears.
To put it bluntly, she is just a migrant worker, and behind Chunfeng Tower is a wealthy gentry in the county.
She worked hard to cultivate Tang Xiaobei, but rumors about Ye Mei arose, which affected Chunfeng Tower's business, and the wealthy gentry behind her were already dissatisfied with her.
Now, finally relying on the soap, Chunfeng Tower was gradually improving. In the end, Tang Xiaobei turned around and sold the soap to Jiaofangsi.
When I first heard the news tonight, the madam wanted to rush into the inn and tear Tang Xiaobei alive.
"Mom, what happened?"
Tang Xiaobei asked pretending to be confused.
"How can you sell something as good as soap to Jiaofangsi?" Zhou's mother wiped her tears and said, "Is that old bitch named Shen worthy of soap?"
"So that's why mom came here?"
Tang Xiaobei made a sad face: "My husband, in order to redeem me, emptied all his family's money. Now I'm almost out of money for food. I have no choice but to sell some soap to support my family..."
When Zhou's mother heard this, she almost jumped up with anger.
Letting Jin Feng spend just over a hundred taels of silver to redeem Tang Xiaobei was the biggest pain in the Madam's heart. She regretted it for several days and couldn't eat anymore. Tang Xiaobei's words were tantamount to exposing her scars again.
But now there was a request from Tang Xiaobei, and even if the madam wanted to bite Tang Xiaobei to death, she did not dare to take action.
Wiping away her tears, she asked with a stern look on her face: "Xiao Bei, how much soap do you have here? Can you give Mom a few dozen more?"
"Dozens of boxes?"
Tang Xiaobei almost sneered.
How dare you open your mouth!
If she didn't need to find a way to open up the market, she wouldn't have given that box to the madam.
Now that the reputation of soap has spread, the madam still wants to take it for free, which is simply a dream.
Tang Xiaobei had to endure a lot of hardships at Chunfeng Tower, so it was a good thing that she didn't have to increase the price.
"Mom, you also know that my husband has a eldest lady who is looking after me at home. The soap materials are too precious. Giving my mother a box is already a way of honoring her. If there are more, I will not be able to explain to the eldest lady when I go back."
Tang Xiaobei said: "Mom, you can't bear to watch me being beaten to death by the eldest lady when I go back, right?"
"That can't be done."
Seeing that Tang Xiaobei and his wife had moved out, Zhou's mother had no choice but to ask: "How much does a piece of soap cost?"
"Five taels of silver."
Tang Xiaobei replied calmly.
"What?"
Mother Zhou couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up: "Why is it so expensive?"
Tang Xiaobei smiled and was too lazy to explain.
Now that the soap market has opened, if Chunfenglou doesn't buy it, he can only watch the customers go to Jiaofangsi.
So she wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Xiao Bei, you are my most beloved daughter, so you must give me a cheaper price. Five taels of silver a piece is too expensive."
Mother Zhou once again played the emotional card.
"Mom, I'm really sorry. This is the price set by the eldest lady. I can't pay even a penny less."
Tang Xiaobei shook his head and said, "Mother Shen from the Jiaofang Division came to buy it, and it's the same price. If you don't believe me, ask her."
Zhou's mother spent a long time grinding, and finally saw that Tang Xiaobei was about to get angry and said she wouldn't sell it, so she reluctantly paid for forty boxes.
After seeing off Mother Zhou, Tang Xiaobei called Da Liu: "Brother Da Liu, let Brother Tiezi go to the innkeeper to discuss it. Let's borrow the stall facing the street of the inn for a few days tomorrow and ask how much the inn costs! "
"Oh, Miss Xiaobei, you are finally willing to let go."
Da Liu patted his thigh, turned around and ran away.
There were so many people asking about soap these days, but Tang Xiaobei never sold it, and he was almost dying of anxiety.
