Chapter 171 Heavy snowfall
When Gao Jinda saw that the people around him were talking again, discussing the fragrance of his concubine, he was not angry but smiled slightly.
After signaling everyone to be quiet, he said loudly: "Although this laundry soap is useful, it is only used by village women and servants. It is really vulgar! The real good thing in our store is the fragrant fat soap that my wives used when they took a bath just now! As for its wonderful uses, I can't say more in public! Anyway, if you have some spare money, buy it back and give it to your wives or sisters. I think they will be very happy."
At this point, Gao Jinda paused, but said meaningfully: "But! This fragrant soap is not cheap! Because it contains the fragrant medicine prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, it not only makes people fragrant, but also protects the skin and nourishes the complexion, which is really wonderful! This tiny piece costs one or two taels of silver, which is enough to buy dozens or hundreds of soaps! If you have money and love your wife and your sisters, you can buy it back and try it! Similarly, today is the opening day of our store. Although we can't give away one piece for free, we can sell 100 pieces at a price of 100 coins. Each person is limited to one piece! Everyone, first come first served!"
After saying that, he did not forget to add, "Because aromatic medicine is difficult to prepare and soap is even more time-consuming to make, this time I only brought one thousand yuan, and I will only sell one hundred yuan a day. After ten days, if you still want it, you will have to wait for the next batch in ten days!"
Suddenly there was another round of noise among the crowd.
Ten days later, in Ming Valley, Liu Feiyun and Gao Jinda sat opposite each other, eating and chatting.
"Prince! You are amazing! You didn't see the situation a few days ago! The door panels of our Yunliu Commercial Company were almost squeezed off by people! Just these one thousand bars of soap were sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver! Tens of thousands of taels of silver!" Gao Jinda said happily while gnawing on a chicken leg.
Liu Feiyun was a little bit unbelievable: "That's not right! I remember the price was one tael of silver per piece! How could it be sold for nearly ten thousand taels of silver! Brother Gao, you didn't make a mistake in your calculations, did you?"
"How could I have calculated wrong? It was nearly ten thousand taels! But because I saw that there were unexpectedly many people buying soap, I changed the rules after three days of selling. The limit of one piece per person was lifted, and each person can buy a maximum of twenty pieces, but it requires bidding, and the highest bidder wins! That's why I sold it for so much more money!"
“You…you…you…”
"What's wrong with me! Did I do something wrong?"
"Wrong! What's wrong with you? Brother Gao did nothing wrong! I was just stunned by your talent! Brother Gao did a great job, it was beyond my expectation!"
Liu Feiyun laughed as he ate. He had never thought that just some broken fat and some spices could sell for so much money! At first, he was worried that the price was too high and he wouldn't be able to sell a few pieces. Now it seems that he was not ruthless enough!
Liu Feiyun then asked with a smile: "Brother Gao, you suddenly changed the sales rules, aren't you afraid that people will cause trouble for you?"
"How dare they! Don't they see whose territory Anping County belongs to? However, it would be great if the production of this soap was as much as that soap!"
"What are you thinking about! The output of this soap cannot be greatly increased in a short period of time! It is even more impossible to produce as much as soap! Soap is currently taking the upper-class route, and things are valuable because they are scarce. As for soap, we can further expand production capacity, increase sales, and seize the market! Okay! You don't have to think about it for now! During the more than 20 days of waiting for the soap to be shipped, just focus on treating your illness and learn more useful things from me!
After saying that, Liu Feiyun put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and went to the Iron Guard camp.
"Learn something useful..." Gao Jinda chewed on a chicken leg, thinking.
As autumn ends and winter arrives, the cold wind starts to blow. The dead leaves fall and the first snowflakes appear.
Before I knew it, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month. Snow fell one after another, every three to five days, and the snowflakes became bigger and bigger, and the amount of snow became more and more abundant. By the time of the Little New Year, it had snowed five times in the twelfth lunar month.
Liu Feiyun stood on the Phantom Tower, looking at the not-so-tall mountains around him, the river channel that converged into the Linshui River, and the six snowfalls since the twelfth lunar month. Somehow, he recited the words of a great man from another time and space: "The scenery of the north, a thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of drifting snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is only wilderness; the great rivers have lost their roar. The mountains dance like silver snakes, the plains gallop like wax elephants, trying to compete with the sky. It must be a sunny day to see the red dress and white snow, so enchanting."
Zhou Banxia, who was standing by, couldn't help but praise after hearing this: "What a good poem! What a good poem! I didn't expect that you, who are young and have not read much, could come up with such a good poem! Boy! You really have extraordinary ideas! With just these few lines of poetry, you can have a place in the so-called literary world!"
Liu Feiyun smiled and said, "Zhou Banxia, you said I am not very old, which is an acknowledgement. But if you said I didn't read much, then you are lying with open eyes! How many books have I read in the past few months! Didn't you see it? Are you blind?"
Zhou Banxia was not angry. He drank a sip of wine and chuckled, "You are so proud of yourself just because I praise you a few times! What a shame! Besides, you said my name is Zhou Banxia, and you still want to talk about whether I am blind or not! Besides, although your poem is good, it seems to make people feel unsatisfied! It seems that you are just like this!"
Liu Feiyun shook his head but continued to smile: "I haven't finished reading this poem yet, of course it will make people feel unsatisfied! Zhou Banxia, how about listening to the second half of my poem!"
"Oh! Really? Then just keep making it up!"
"Zhou Banxia, listen carefully.
The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes. Unfortunately, the emperors of Wu and Qin were slightly inferior in literary talent; the ancestors of Qi and Qi were slightly inferior in charm. The great hero of his generation, Ye Yu Khan, only knew how to bend his bow and shoot eagles. All the past is gone, and the heroes of today are still to be seen. "
After Liu Feiyun finished reciting the poem, he turned his back to Zhou Banxia, looked out at the snow-covered mountains in the distance, and waited for his evaluation.
But after a long time, there was still no comment from Zhou Banxia.
Liu Feiyun was not only curious, but also turned around to look at Zhou Banxia, only to see that he was holding a wine glass, but it was shaking non-stop, and most of the remaining wine in the glass was spilled. His eyes were staring at him blankly, and he seemed to be muttering something!
Liu Feiyun listened carefully and finally heard clearly what he whispered: "The past is gone, and the heroes of today are still here! Still here! Still here..."
Liu Feiyun was stunned and shouted, "Zhou Banxia! Zhou Banxia! What's wrong with you? Even if my poem is good, you don't have to be so shocked!"
