Su Wan used the knowledge and methods he learned in school to make a simple distillation equipment and extracted two bottles of peach blossom hydrosol with a fragrant aroma.
There were four hundred bars of soap in total. I invited Jiang Sheng and his wife to come over and learn how to pack them, as well as my uncle’s family. They learned quickly and packed the soap neatly.
Su Wan wants to customize a seal, which is specially used to be printed on the oiled paper after packaging, as an exclusive seal.
However, she didn't know which pattern would look better, so she asked Brother Wu to help her design one.
After briefly telling Su Yi her request, Su Yi took a pen and paper and started drawing after pondering for a moment.
Su Wan said that the seal should be round, and the pattern must be elegant and elegant. It is best to be representative and be remembered by people at a glance.
An hour later, Su Yi drew several versions of the pattern and handed them to Su Wan. After reading them, Su Wan thought they were all very good.
Fifth Brother's design is mainly about flowers, and the flowers in each pattern are different. It is really difficult for Su Wan to choose.
"Fifth brother, why don't you choose one? To me, every pattern is very beautiful. I can't choose."
Su Wan is really embarrassed because she really thinks everyone is beautiful.
"You don't have to choose. In my opinion, it's better to order several seals for each one. I painted hibiscus, peach blossoms, thorn roses, and roses. I think the flowers planted in your flower field are all based on this. There are mainly several kinds of flowers. They will be made into soaps in the future and stamped with seals with corresponding patterns. It can also be easily distinguished, so that people who come to buy soap can choose their favorite fragrance according to the patterns.
Camellias are not common, and you can only make a hundred pieces in total. I can draw the patterns of camellias one by one, which is not troublesome and can also practice my skills. "
Fifth Brother's mind is exquisite and thorough, which Su Wan did not expect.
As he said, different floral soaps use the same seal. Not only do they have their own characteristics, they are also easy to distinguish.
Moreover, custom-made seals are not expensive. You can order several of these patterns for later use.
"Fifth Brother is still thoughtful, so I'll make three of each pattern according to Fifth Brother's idea."
Su Wan was willing to accept Su Yi's suggestion. Of course Su Yi was happy and laughed happily.
"Wan Wan, actually I have one more thing I want to tell you, and I don't know if I can do it. And I just want to tell you alone. Can you give me some advice?"
Su Yi has always had an idea in his heart. He is not sure whether to do it or not, but he knows that Su Wan will definitely give him some inspiration.
Therefore, he was only willing to tell Su Wan.
"What are your thoughts? Fifth brother, please tell me." Su Wan asked excitedly. After hearing him say that he only wanted to tell her his thoughts, could she not feel any fluctuations in her heart?
"It's just... I want to paint my own paintings and sell them on the street, because I want to see if my paintings can be liked by the world, but I'm afraid that after doing this, if no one cares about me, I will Give up on yourself.”
Su Yi has thought a lot during this time. The brothers have all found the goals of their efforts, but he is the only one who is still confused and doesn't know where to work towards.
After much thought, he came up with this way to improve himself, affirm himself, and prevent himself from being inactive all day long and unable to find a goal to strive for.
"This is a good thing, Fifth Brother, you can be so brave to prove yourself, what's wrong with you?
Moreover, Fifth Brother’s painting skills are wonderful and he can make portraits come alive. Even if I look at the painting you painted for me last time, I will still be amazed.
So I fully support Fifth Brother's intention to set up a stall to sell paintings, but I suggest that Fifth Brother can specialize in painting people's portraits. Fifth Brother's paintings of people are vivid. I believe there must be many people who are willing to give it a try. Wait until others see you. After your strength, why worry about no one paying attention?
Moreover, there are all kinds of life and all aspects of life. I think the face of a person is the most difficult to describe. Even twins are always different. Fifth Brother can not only make money through portraits, but also improve his own level. Why not? Why not? "
The more Su Wan talked about it, the brighter the light in Su Yi's eyes became. He, who had always been steady and gentle, couldn't help but feel excited when he heard what his sister described.
Regarding his dream, the uncertainty and lack of confidence he had felt for many days was cured by Su Wan in an instant.
"Well, listen to Wan Wan. In the future, I will set up a stall and specialize in painting people's portraits. I will make a wish to paint a thousand portraits. Then I will see how far I can improve."
Hearing this, Su Wan nodded happily.
…
Early the next morning, four hundred soap bars had been packaged. Su Chen hitched up the carriage early in the morning, loaded all the soap onto the carriage, and went to the county with Su Wan to deliver the goods.
Goat'ao is not far from the county, and only one horse is needed.
The proprietress of the grocery store was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally the person she was looking forward to came to her.
After the beginning of the new year, many people came to ask about soap, but Su Wan never came, and she had nowhere to look.
Now that it has been two months since the New Year, she thought that Su Wan would not come, and she didn't know if he would do business elsewhere instead of coming to Qinghe County.
Just when she thought there was no hope, Su Wan came and brought four hundred bars of soap at once.
But this time, there was a different surprise.
"Lady Boss, long time no see, I miss you so much!"
Su Wan stepped into the shop. The landlady was wiping the counter. When she heard Su Wan's voice, she turned around excitedly.
"Hey, who am I thinking I haven't seen you for a long time? It turns out that my goddess of wealth is here to keep me waiting."
The landlady quickly made tea and served snacks, and also invited Su Chen in.
"You don't know. There have been so many people asking about soap in the past two months. I barely managed to cross my threshold. But I can't wait for you and I'm almost bored to death, especially your hair soap. Rich ladies from several companies sent people to ask. It cost several yuan to order. I also used it. The hair that came out of the shampoo was fragrant and smooth. It worked so well. Have you done it this time?"
The landlady is also thinking about the hair soap, and she likes it too.
"The hair soap is not available this time, but it will be available next time I come over. It is a new formula, which is easier to use and smells better. But this time I made a camellia-scented goat's milk soap."
The goods were all in the carriage, and the proprietress asked the waiter to move them down. The first-generation goat milk soap and dyed goat milk soap were old friends. These two products were particularly popular among ordinary people, mainly because they were cheap and easy to use.
The white goat milk soap is square, mostly bought and used by rural people. The dyed soap is also made into a square shape, but it looks much more refined when dyed. It is used by people in the county, and it is only more expensive than the white one. Five articles.
Although the previous osmanthus soap and hair soap were not in large quantities, they were the favorites of many young ladies and ladies.
This time, the lady boss opened one of the camellia and goat milk soaps on the spot to look at it. After smelling it, it was absolutely amazing.
