Chapter 41 Leopard Soap
Xiaolan poured water to soak her clothes, then soaped them according to Wu Song's method, rubbed them for a few times, and was filled with foam. Then washed with clean water, and the oil was gone.
"Wow, this effect is so good, just like soap powder." Xiaolan said in surprise.
"Of course, there are five yuan here. You can try it with the women in the village. Remember to tell me the effect afterwards." Wu Song said.
After arranging Xiaolan's test soap, Wu Song went to train with his brothers again. The shouts on the training ground were shocking. The team members were very enthusiastic, wearing a helmet with rattan armor, holding a rattan shield in his left hand and a short stick in his right hand. Under the command of the team leader, Li Kui surrounded Li Kui with a big wooden axe and rushed left and right, but these dozen shield players were very clingy, hiding behind the shield, and constantly hitting Li Kui with sticks. Li Kui was defeated.
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It's still my brother who said it right. Fighting requires cooperation, and we can't just show off our abilities."
Li Kui said, "This is a fight, I dare not use force. If I really fight, these ten people will not be enough for me to kill. But this vine armor is very useful, so I want to find my brother to wear vine armor."
Seeing that Wu Song was coming, Li Kui mentioned the matter of the rattan armor. Wu Song said: "It is inconvenient to wear the rattan armor on his body. He only made vest-style protective armor, a piece of rattan armor in the front and a piece of rattan armor in the back. He will wear it when encountering a battle. The squad leader and above all levels have double-layer cowhide armor, but the cowhide has not arrived yet. Once the goods arrive, we will do it for everyone. Go back and continue training. Your fist skills need to be strengthened more, and you should teach Ruan Xiaoqi more."
Li Kui said: "No problem, I never hide my own private matters."
Li Kui has no great skills in punching and kicking, but he is still much better than Ruan Xiaoqi. The two often discuss and teach ordinary guards at the same time, so that they can make progress very fast.
Wu Song's focus was on the modao and bows and arrows. He conducted a lot of shooting exercises every day, and he was very strict with himself. After lunch, everyone sat in the haystack in front of the house to rest. Liu Daniu came over and said, "Xiaolan looked for her brother and said you'll arrange her affairs."
Wu Song said: "You will train on time later, I have something to do."
Wu Song left the training ground, and Xiaolan was waiting at the door. Her hands were frozen red, but she couldn't help but feel happy and said, "Baozheng's soap is so easy to use, and the laundry is very clean."
Wu Song said: "I am determined to promote you to be a general manager, how about it?"
Xiaolan was shocked when she heard Wu Song say this: "Where is a female manager? I'm afraid that the manager will not come."
"I'll ask you to pack and produce this soap. You can go to Wujiazhuang in the village to find six reliable female workers. We will start tomorrow morning." Wu Song said.
The newly established soap factory is in a wooden house in the backyard of Dachexing. The factory building is not small, with more than 200 square meters. In fact, it is just a semi-finished product processing and finished product packaging workshop.
The reaction between lime and alkaline surface was arranged in Wujiazhuang. The generated alkali was transported to the refugees' nest. There was a large tent factory there, and several guards guarded it. The reaction between alkali and oil was carried out here to produce soap paste. Then it was put into a mold to make a rectangular soap of half a pound, and Liu Xiaolan led someone to wrap it with colored paper. In order to establish the brand, the colored paper was also marked with a leopard with a seal, with the leopard brand soap written on it.
Liu Xiaolan arranged for people to go to the county car shop to send a batch to the store for sale.
The three-story building of Tongda Dache Store in Qinghe County has been renovated. The first floor is an exhibition hall, which sells agricultural tools, hardware, etc. made by the iron factory, and now there is more soap. Of course, this place is mainly for display for merchants, and retail is just the second floor. The second floor is the office of the car shop, and the third floor is the restaurant.
At the door of Tongda Big Cart, several women suddenly came, holding large basins and washing clothes there. Many people came here to see them. Of course, the ones who were most interested were the housewives, they were all washing clothes.
"Those who come from the south and go north come and take a look. Leopard brand soap, a magic tool for washing clothes. No matter how dirty the clothes are, you just need to apply them gently, then rub them twice and then clean them. Believe it or not, come and take a look." This waiter has already had experience selling other things. When he shouted loudly, many people came and watched soap wash clothes.
A sister-in-law asked, "How much does this soap cost?"
"The price is not expensive, the original price is 30 cents per dollar. Today, you can get a special offer, and you can only take one yuan for ten cents. There will be no such price tomorrow."
Ten cents can be considered as buying two kilograms of rice, and the price is quite reasonable. Several people immediately tried to buy one and left. Of course, most people were just watching the fun. After all, this is a new thing, and some people are unwilling to believe it is understandable.
But soon, the magical effect of the leopard brand soap spread in the small Qinghe County town. It is said that this is a magic tool for washing clothes. Whether it is a young wife or an old lady, they have to buy one in the store. As a result, everyone found that the price had increased, twenty cents a yuan, and one big boy would not sell it. However, even so, the sales were still very popular. The purchasers lined up at the request of the store’s shopper, and they all bought soap with money.
Wu Song, Shi Tiehan, and Mao Chi stood on the roof of the third-floor restaurant and looked down, especially the Shi Tiehan, who was surprised and said: "It's okay not to accept it. It's hard for us to make a penny. Brother, he just needs to queue up to buy anything he wants."
Wu Song said: "The gross profit of selling twenty cents is not more than eight cents. If the shipping is far away, the selling price will be increased."
However, Qinghe is a small county after all, and it has been very popular for three consecutive days. After selling it for more than 3,000 yuan, it will never become popular again. After all, the soap weighs half a pound, and you can use it several times to wash clothes.
On the fourth day, Wu Yixin heard good news. Tongda Cart Shop opened outside the west gate of Yunzhou City. He bought an inn in the county and changed the brand and opened.
Wu Song said: "Liu Daniu, prepare the vehicle and bring 10,000 pieces of soap to Yunzhou City."
Wu Song wrote a letter to Wu Yong, and a salesperson from Qinghe went with him to Yunzhou City to open up the market. Yunzhou City is one level higher than the county city, and the sales popularity is very different. It costs 10,000 yuan and sold out in three days.
The soap plant is busy. A few days ago, there were only six women. There are now 60 female workers, some of whom are responsible for making soap molds, some are responsible for cleaning molds, some are responsible for resting and recuperating soap, and some are responsible for packaging. A standard box is 100 yuan, and the wooden box is not enough.
Liu Xiaolan Yanran, a big shopkeeper, has a very different momentum than the previous few days.
"Xiaohong, don't worry about your work first. Go and notify Carpenter Liu, who is responsible for making wooden boxes, and rush to get a hundred sets of wooden boxes as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go right away." said a female worker named Xiaohong.
The wooden boxes packaged are all rough. In order to facilitate loading and unloading of soap during transportation, the goods are customized from the carpenter shop. At the beginning, I didn’t expect the soap to be sold so quickly. At the beginning, the business in Qinghe County and Yunzhou City was sold out.
