The Dong family, the Wang family and the Luo family are all big families in Wangjiang County, with many people in their houses.

So, when they opened their mouth, they all had twenty pieces of soap.

However, Nirvana Soap Shop has set a strange rule, that is, each person can buy no more than two pieces.

In order to buy a sufficient quantity, their housekeeper or purchaser had to bring a few more people from the house.

Thirty people crowded into the small shop, which suddenly seemed overcrowded.

Just when Lin Jinglei was fretting, a clear voice sounded, "Don't crowd, please line up at the door. Come in on the left side of the door, go to our shopkeeper Lin to pay the money, and then go to our right side to get the soap from shopkeeper Wen." .”

Luo Yuji stood up and shouted to the crowd.

While shouting, he also directed the crowd, forming a long queue at the door.

Perhaps it was because they were, after all, young masters of a wealthy family in Wangjiang. These people were all servants of other households, so they were quite cooperative and respectful.

As a result, order suddenly became better, and the queue stretched from the door of the soap shop to the street.

"Did you see that the newly opened soap shop is booming?" In the alley behind the street intersection, several women gathered together.

"Yes, there was no one there at the beginning. Why are there so many people now?" Mrs. Wang murmured while looking in the direction of the soap shop.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you've been staring at this all morning. Why, don't you go buy a few pieces?" someone nearby asked.

"To be honest, I'm really excited. It's just that thirty cents a piece is a bit expensive. The man in our family only earns a dozen coppers a day..." Mrs. Wang showed a troubled look.

"Sister-in-law Wang, you must have made a mistake in your abacus!" the woman next to her said again, "the soap worth thirty cents a piece is as big as the soap I gave you a few days ago, a dozen or so large. You Think about it, how long will it last? With the two of you, even if it can't last half a year, it will take at least three to five months! It only cost thirty coins for several months, do you still think it's expensive?"

"Yes! Sister-in-law Li, when you say that, that's really what happened!" Sister-in-law Wang nodded.

"Sister-in-law Wang, think about it again. We usually rub our clothes with our hands and beat them with sticks, but they can't be cleaned very well, and the clothes are easy to get rotten." Aunt Li nodded, "If we use this soap, it won't be as clean as Washing clothes doesn’t have to be so laborious or tiring, and the clothes will last for a few more years.”

"Sister-in-law Li, you are so talkative, why don't you buy a few pieces yourself?" Sister-in-law Liu on the side couldn't help it.

"You don't know this!" A mysterious smile appeared on Mrs. Li's face. "There is a relative in our family who works in the Lin Mansion. When Master Lin brought this soap back to the Lin Mansion to try it out, we learned from the relative. I took a small piece back. No, I know this thing is very useful. When Lin's Cloth Store held a giveaway event, the couple of us went there more than a dozen times and stocked dozens of small soaps at home. It is estimated that these two It’s enough for a month.”

"Sister-in-law Li, you are so awesome!" Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Liu next to them both showed horrified expressions. "I knew this thing would be useful so early. If I had known better, we would have gone to get more when the Lin's Cloth Store held activities. How many servings?"

"Oh, we didn't think much about it at the time." Sister-in-law Li smiled, "No, it's just a saving of dozens of coins."

"Also, I have something to tell you. Please don't tell it." Suddenly, Sister-in-law Li looked around nervously to make sure there was no one else. She looked at the two of them with a shy face and said softly, "Since I used I use this soap to bathe, and my wife always says that I always have a scent on my body. I do it every night these days, but I work much harder than before! I came here several times last night, and I almost can't stand it. "

"Really?" When Mrs. Liu heard this, her eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

"I told you, you've been so sexy these days!" Mrs. Wang also showed a bad smile, "No, it seems I have to buy a few pieces..."

"A few pieces, I'm afraid you can't buy them!" Sister-in-law Li shook her head, "I heard that Master Lin's soap shop is special. One person can only buy two pieces at most at a time."

"Ah, there is no business here?" Mrs. Liu frowned.

"Go quickly, it will be too late if you don't go." Sister-in-law Li continued, "I heard that they only sell a maximum of 500 yuan a day, and after time, they will be gone."



When it first opened in the morning, Lin Jinglei was still complaining about the lack of space and lack of business.

But at this moment, he began to complain. There were too many customers, and the threshold was almost broken.

He couldn't remember how many times he collected money or how many copper coins he counted.

Not only him, Ye Ziqi, who was helping him count the money at the moment, was almost numb.

The sun has climbed to the top of the head, but the long queue outside the store is much longer than in the morning.

It stretches all the way to the corner of the street with no end in sight.

"Brother Lin, we only have the last fifty pieces of soap." Just when his back was aching, Wen Zixuan, who was in charge of distributing soap, said loudly.

"Ah, so fast?" Lin Jinglei was surprised.

But within one morning, all five hundred bars of soap were sold out before I knew it.

"Brother Ye, go and say hello. We can only receive the last twenty-five customers." Lin Jinglei threw the number of copper plates into the drawer and turned to Ye Ziqi.

Ye Ziqi nodded and led Luo Yuji towards the queue.

"Everyone, the soap in the shop has been sold out immediately, and it can only satisfy the last twenty-five customers." Ye Ziqi shouted loudly, "Come on, let's start counting from this eldest brother, and we can continue with the next twenty-five. From now on, please come back tomorrow!”

"Mr. Ye, this is not righteous! We have been waiting in line for a long time, why can't we buy it again?" A man at the back of the line shouted, "My mother-in-law is waiting for me to bring soap back!"

"Brother, I can sympathize with your mood." Ye Ziqi looked at the man with a smile and said, "Brother loves his wife. This is a natural thing. But there is nothing we can do if the store is out of stock, right? We only have Five hundred bars of soap, you won’t be able to change it even if it’s sold out, right?”

"But didn't you let us come here in vain?" The man looked very unhappy.

"It's not in vain, it's not in vain! Everyone, please listen to what I have to say." Ye Ziqi suddenly laughed again, "If the guests who queue up here today do not buy our soap, they can receive a free small soap as a gift. .Brother, it doesn’t cost money, and my sister-in-law can use it at night, wouldn’t it be better?”

"There is also a gift!" The man was overjoyed when he heard this. "When I gave it to Lin's Cloth Store last time, I didn't know it was so useful. I still regret it. If I had known better, I would have gone there more times to get it!"

"Yes, we queued up today, but customers who didn't buy anything will get a free piece of soap." Ye Ziqi nodded, "But the store only has 500 pieces of soap every day. If you want to buy it, you have to rush early tomorrow." !”

The people in line were immediately in an uproar.
