Chapter 333: The Hammer Bearing Heavy Responsibilities
"Don't you worry about me doing things? That afternoon, the city gate was not closed and people left. Two people and six horses must rush back as quickly as possible."
Han Feng replied, turned around and sighed and said: "If I had known that the new soaps were so easy to sell, we wouldn't have sold the old ones, but only the new ones."
Even Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei didn't expect that because of Chen Ji's praise, the new soap would be so popular in the capital. Therefore, when they arrived, most of the dozen carts of soap they brought with them were old models.
As a result, only a few dozen yuan have been sold, and the rest have been thrown away.
"This is what I want to say," Luo Lan said: "We have traveled thousands of miles to bring the soap to the capital. No matter whether it is new or old, we have to sell it."
"But if no one wants to buy it, can we still sell it hard?" Tie Zhui asked.
"Of course that won't work," Luo Lan shook his head and said, "Didn't the two brothers realize that the brothel in the capital didn't come to buy soap?"
"Yes, there is also a brothel!" Tie Chui's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Nowadays in Guangyuan, the craze for women to buy soap has passed. Except for daily consumption, few people go to buy soap anymore.
However, each brothel has become a big consumer of soap, bringing a large amount of money to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce every month.
"The reason why brothels in the capital don't buy soap is because they don't know how to use soap," Luo Lan looked up at Tie Hammer, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble my two brothers about this."
"Sister Luo Lan, why do you look at me like this? Brother, I am a serious person. I have never been to a brothel. I don't know how to use soap." Tie Shui quickly denied.
"Say, keep talking." Han Feng squinted his eyes and said, "I just like to see your serious nonsense."
"Who are you talking nonsense? When did you see me going to a brothel?" Tie Zhui said stubbornly, still holding his neck.
"Hey, I don't know if Miss Liu'er or Miss Narcissus will be sad when they hear what you say."
Han Feng sighed: "By the way, there are also Miss Queer and Miss Xiaoquan..."
"You old Han, you're actually following me?!"
Tie Zhui's eyes widened: "Sir and Brother Liang gave the alarm to you to collect intelligence, not to follow your own people!"
"You're overthinking it. You only have so much guts. Do I need to send someone to follow you? Drink some wine and vomit all of it."
Han Feng curled his lips and said: "Who in the entire Xihewan Village doesn't know about your troubles in Guangyuan? Even a three-year-old child knows about your brilliant record of visiting four brothels in one night."
"Okay, Old Han, stop talking, Miss Luo Lan is still here."
No matter how thick-skinned Tie Hammer was, he couldn't bear it anymore, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
"Tch, why do you think Miss Luo Lan is looking for you?" Han Feng asked with squinting eyes.
Luo Lan covered her mouth and laughed: "Brother Iron Hammer, this matter really troubles you. After it is completed, I will ask your husband for credit, and I will reimburse you for all the money I spent."
"Hammer, what a great opportunity, I'm a little excited." Han Feng joked.
"You are really going too far!"
Tie Zhui was so angry that his beard was shaking, he pointed at Luo Lan and asked: "Sister Luo Lan, can you really retaliate?"
puff!
Han Feng spit out the tea he just drank: "Old man, are you really going?"
"Sister Luo Lan is right. We traveled thousands of miles to bring the soap from Jinchuan. Of course we have to sell it. It's nothing for me to sacrifice for my husband."
Iron Hammer said solemnly.
"Old man, I never noticed before that you can be so thick-skinned, I admire you!"
Han Feng gave a thumbs up to the hammer.
"As long as Brother Iron Hammer can make the soap famous in the brothel, the money will be rewarded." Luo Lan smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, sister Luo Lan, I can complete the task in five days at most!"
Iron Hammer patted his chest and said.
"Brother Han, it's just a joke, you are here to help Brother Hammer and shout." Luo Lan said.
"I see."
When it came to business, Han Feng immediately put away his smile and became serious.
That night, Tie Chui, who shouldered the heavy responsibility, started his mission of promoting the brothel.
In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Iron Hammer worked hard and refreshed his previous record that night. When he came back the next morning, his legs were a little trembling.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Iron Hammer and the encouragement of Han Feng, the popularity of soap in Guangyuan brothels once again happened in various brothels in the capital.
The brothels in the capital are much richer and richer than those in Guangyuan, and the madams are also more discerning.
In just a few days, all the old soaps accumulated by the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce were sold out by brothels.
The brothel that had not been snatched felt regretful and sent people to guard the door of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce every day.
In other stores, customers only pick and choose in front of a lot of goods. Only Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce has customers waiting for the goods to arrive.
The owners of other shops around were jealous, but unfortunately they didn't know how to make soap, so it was useless to be jealous.
"Miss Luo Lan, our old soaps are also sold out now. We open the door every day, so we can't sell nothing, right?"
Han Feng looked at the maid and scholar guarding the door with a look of pain on his face.
"This time it is true that we were not prepared enough and underestimated the purchasing power of the capital."
Luo Lan said helplessly: "Originally, Black Sword could have lasted for a while longer, but it's a pity that the Ninth Princess took them all away."
The ninth princess they talked about was the daughter of Chen Ji and Concubine Qing. She was the ninth among the princesses. She was eighteen years old. In the feudal era, she should have gotten married long ago, but Chen Ji liked this very much.
The daughter has remained in the palace and has never been betrothed.
Perhaps inheriting the genes of the Qing family's generals, the Ninth Princess is particularly fond of military affairs and political affairs.
The other princes and princesses were particularly afraid of Chen Ji testing their knowledge, but the Ninth Princess never tired of it. When Chen Ji was approving memorials, she would often accompany him, serving tea and water for grinding and grinding.
Maybe this is why Chen Ji likes her.
The Ninth Princess prefers the main fighting faction. She used to admire her cousin Qinghuai the most. After the victory in Qingshui Valley, she also started to pay attention to Jin Feng.
As their understanding deepened, the Ninth Princess became more and more curious about Jin Feng, but as a princess, she could not go to Xihewan to find Jin Feng like Qing Mulan.
After learning that Tie Hammer and the others had arrived in the capital, the Ninth Princess immediately ran back to Qing's house to see what was so special about the soap and black knife in Qing Mulan's letter.
Then I fell in love with the black knife at a glance.
The black knife and the box brought by Iron Hammer and the others were taken away by the Ninth Princess...
"I used to think that Miss Mu Lan was tough enough, but I didn't expect that her cousin was even more ruthless than her."
Tie Shui slumped on the chair and said feebly: "I don't know why a girl wants so many black knives? If she doesn't pay, isn't this a robbery based on her identity?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in fine clothes walked slowly into the room.
He didn't say anything, he just looked at the hammer coldly with his bright eyes.
The hammer dropped like an ice cellar, and he suddenly jumped up from his chair.
