Chapter 232 Dumbfounded

Early the next morning, there was an extra stall in front of the Zhao's Inn.

"Selling soap, Mr. Jin's exclusive soap! It smells of osmanthus and plum blossoms!..."

Liu Tie and several men stood at the stall and shouted loudly.

Dakang people do not have the habit of sleeping in, and the vegetables delivered from outside the city are also the freshest. Many maids from wealthy families come out to buy vegetables with vegetable baskets.

The soap is not only famous in Fengyuefang, but also among wealthy people thanks to the promotion of the county governor's wife.

Many ladies learned that the soap was now on sale and sent their maids over to buy it.

And it's not just one or two boxes. Basically, the maids who come here will buy at least one box of each scent.

The maid who had the most bought sixty boxes directly, packed a large box, and the handyman took it away in a horse-drawn carriage.

There were four domestic slaves accompanying him to protect him, just like escorting money.

Tang Xiaobei only planned to release 300 boxes of soap in the first batch. Jiaofangsi bought 80 boxes and Chunfenglou bought 40 boxes. There was not much left.

In less than half an hour, several large wooden boxes containing soap were empty on the table.

Even so, maids kept coming to ask questions and then left in fear.

My mind is already thinking about how to explain to the master when I go back.

"There are so many rich people!"

Da Liu sorted out the empty boxes and sighed.

He couldn't understand how anyone could spend five taels of silver to buy something for bathing.

"The gentleman said that 90% of the world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of less than 10% of the people. Maybe the money spent by the landlords and gentry on entertaining their friends is enough to feed the people of a village for a year."

Tang Xiaobei said: "We only sold a total of more than a thousand taels of silver today. Not to mention Guangyuan County, even Jinchuan County, any wealthy gentleman can easily come up with it. For them, spending dozens of taels of silver to buy one

What’s fresh?”

"Yes, we should make money from them." Liu asked cheerfully: "Then are we robbing the rich and giving to the poor?"

"Of course. There are so many children in the village who cannot survive. Aren't they all raised by my husband?"

Tang Xiaobei nodded slowly.

"I used to feel guilty about selling a piece of soap for five taels of silver. Miss Xiaobei, when you said that, I suddenly felt that it was cheap."

Da Liu said: "We have to make money from rich people, and then use this money to help people who can't survive."

"There are so many people in the world who cannot survive. How can you, sir, help them?"

Tang Xiaobei sighed: "My husband once said that it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish, which means that it is better to teach others how to fish than to just give them a few fish to eat. That's why he opened a textile factory."

"Sir, you are really kind-hearted." Da Liu nodded and said, "Meeting your husband is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in this life. If it weren't for him, my whole family might not be able to survive this year, and one or two of them would starve to death."

"So we all have to do a good job to repay sir." Tang Xiaobei said with a smile.

"Yes, follow your husband to rob the rich, give to the poor, and benefit the world!"

Da Liu suddenly felt excited.

The wives of wealthy families received the news of the soap sale, and the brothels in Fengyuefang who had been paying attention naturally also received it.

But at this time, those shrewd bustards were not in a hurry.

In their opinion, once it goes on sale, isn’t it possible to buy it with money?

Going too early would make Tang Xiaobei aware of his urgency, which would be detrimental to bargaining.

Therefore, the madams waited until mid-morning before lazily riding the carriage to Zhao's Inn.

They all thought about how to bargain with Tang Xiaobei.

However, when they arrived at the place, the madams were all dumbfounded.

out of stock……

Now the madams are all anxious.

"Miss Xiaobei, why is it out of stock?"

"Miss Xiaobei, just tell me how much you want. I will never bargain."

"Miss Xiaobei..."

The madams surrounded Tang Xiaobei, all of them as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Brothels are not like other businesses. Many customers fall in love with a certain girl and will keep going to support her.

After all, people have feelings.

Jiaofangsi and Chunfenglou have soap, but they don’t, so why don’t all their business go to Jiaofangsi and Chunfenglou?

Even if they buy it later, the customer may not come back.

"Dear moms, I'm really sorry, it's sold out."

Tang Xiaobei said: "But I will send people back to Jinchuan as soon as possible. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be delivered at noon tomorrow. Everyone, please come back tomorrow."

The old bustards knew that it was useless to say anything now, so they had no choice but to leave with sighs.

"Miss Xiaobei, we obviously brought so much soap, why don't we sell it to them?"

Da Liu asked in confusion.

"Sir, he said that things are more valuable when they are rare. Once there are too many of them, they are worthless."

Tang Xiaobei said: "The teacher said that the highest level of sales is for customers to queue up with money and wait for the merchant to open. In this way, not only can you sell at a high price, but you can also sell more."

"Amazing!"

Da Liu extended his thumb in admiration.

In fact, he didn't understand it, but he just thought Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei were so powerful.

"Brother Liu, please send someone back later to tell Mr. the good news."

Tang Xiaobei explained: "Also, sir, please be sure to keep an eye on Tiegun Mountain and never let outsiders get close."

"OK."

Da Liu nodded quickly.

No matter how stupid he is, he can now see that soap has become a cash cow and must be protected.

"By the way, have you bought all the things I asked Brother Tiezi to buy?"

Before coming to the county town, Jin Feng asked Tang Xiaobei to buy some materials and go back. He also said that if the experiment with Wan Niang was successful, he would be able to prepare more scented soaps in the future, and the concentration of the scent would also be improved.

"I've bought them all. According to the girl's instructions, I arranged for the brothers to buy the iron pieces separately so as not to attract other people's attention." Da Liu replied.

"Then let someone send him back together." Tang Dongdong said.

"Okay." Da Liu agreed and ran out to make arrangements.

Soon, a cavalry team set off from the county town and returned to Xihewan.

The war horse galloped, several times faster than walking. At seven or eight o'clock that night, Monkey and the others returned to Xihewan.

Jin Feng had already taken a bath and was ready to go to bed. When he learned that the monkey was back, he quickly put on his clothes again and came out.

"Monkey, how are you doing in the county?"

"That's great. You don't even know, sir, that the soap is selling like crazy in the city. There are so many people trying to grab it with their banknotes but they can't even buy it..."

Monkey excitedly told what Tang Xiaobei had done in the county town.

Of course, he didn't forget Tang Xiaobei's reminder.

"Xiao Bei is indeed a good businessman."

After hearing this, Jin Feng also laughed happily.

He thought that Tang Xiaobei could sell the soap for three taels of silver, which was pretty good, but who knew he could actually sell it for five taels.

The cost of soap is very low. This time alone, Tang Xiaobei helped him earn 1,500 taels of silver.

And Jin Feng knew that this was just the beginning.

"Yes, Miss Xiaobei is simply amazing."

The monkey smiled and said: "There are obviously so many soaps, but Miss Xiaobei doesn't sell them anymore, and she even asked us to come back specially."

"When you act, you have to do the whole thing."

Jin Feng said with a smile: "Then you can make another trip tomorrow and bring a few more empty boxes to cooperate with Xiaobei's tricks."

"Yes!" Monkey clasped his fists, turned around and walked away.

Jin Feng didn't sleep either, so he called Zhang Liang to make arrangements to strengthen the defense of Iron Can Mountain.



Guangyuan County.

Tang Xiaobei originally thought that the madams would not come until noon, but as soon as she got up in the morning, Alan told her that all the madams were waiting at the door of the inn.
