Zhao Ping didn't know all this.
When I woke up in the morning, I did some Tai Chi first, and then went to check the condition of my soap.
It is found that it has condensed into lumps and can be removed from the mold.
Zhao Ping carefully collected the soaps and put them in boxes.
The box was also made by Lu Xiu and his son. Although it was a little rough, it was better than nothing.
After the market is opened, we will create new packaging.
After all, Zhao Ping had done research and found that soap had never appeared in the entire Dawei Dynasty.
Nobles from aristocratic families and even the royal family would at most use some bath beans when washing their faces and hands.
The key thing is that it is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
In other words, the soap he makes has no competition.
It’s not too late to open up the market first and then work on packaging.
Of course, you still have to experiment first.
Zhao Ping woke up Liu Mengru who was lazy in bed.
The general had been tortured for most of the night. At this time, his legs were still a little weak and he needed Zhao Ping to support him when he walked.
I couldn't help but feel a little angry about getting up, and said angrily: "Mr. sir, what time is it now? Why did you wake me up so early?"
"The soap is ready."
Zhao Ping said: "I promised you before that you would be the first person to experience it, so you should keep your word."
Bah!
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Liu Mengru kissed Zhao Ping on the face.
She said shyly: "My husband is so kind."
Zhao Ping moved his other face closer.
Liu Mengru understood and kissed her again.
Zhao Pingxiao could hardly keep his eyes open. He was waiting for Liu Mengru to get dressed, which required a lot of licking.
After everything returned to normal, Zhao Ping handed her the loving soap, "I made this specially for you, do you like it?"
"It's actually Momoshata!"
Liu Mengru held the soap and couldn't put it down.
"This is not Momo-shaped."
Zhao Ping corrected: "This is a heart shape."
"I gave you my love, you must take good care of it."
"kindness."
Liu Mengru nodded shyly, her face already blushing to her neck.
not bad.
After this period of training, Liu Mengru has gradually been able to accept such earthy love words, but she is still a little shy.
The most gentle thing is the gentleness of the lowered head, like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot bear the cool breeze.
That poem was performed vividly by her.
Zhao Ping enjoyed it very much.
No wonder so many kings don't go to court early. This ancient woman is Run.
If he hadn't had great ambitions, Zhao Ping would have wanted to be with them all the time.
After a few words of teasing, Zhao Ping taught Liu Mengru how to use soap.
Rub it on and wash it off.
very simple.
After washing, Liu Mengru immediately amazed Zhao Ping.
Originally, Liu Mengru looked good.
It was just that he was treated harshly by his original owner and worked hard all year round. Not only was he skinny and hungry, his skin also showed a malnutrition-yellow color.
After this period of time will be raised.
The meat and white rice are delicious, plus Zhao Ping's body-conditioning decoction prepared with ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.
Liu Mengru has gradually become plump.
Not fat, not thin, very well proportioned.
There is a lot of the ingredients that should be used, and the bulges and curls are eye-catching.
The skin also changed from the original yellow to snow-white.
At this time, after being washed with soap, coupled with the shy touch just now, the skin is white and rosy, and it is so tender that water can be squeezed out.
It's really like a hibiscus.
"How about it?"
Liu Mengru was a little flustered by the gaze, covering her face and asked, "Is it ineffective?"
"No, the effect is amazing."
Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "Mengru, I didn't expect that after washing with soap, you would look like a different person. You are so beautiful."
"It's so embarrassing."
Liu Mengru's face turned redder.
Turn around and run back to the house.
He quickly took out the bronze mirror and looked at it.
Then she herself was surprised.
Touching the fair and tender face, Liu Mengru couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was herself.
So beautiful!
No, I'm not that beautiful.
It must be the soap.
How can I have such a good thing to myself? I must let girl Wen Hui use it too.
After making up her mind, Liu Mengru ran to the kitchen and called Wen Hui out.
"Sister Mengru, why are you so anxious to drag me out? I haven't cooked yet..."
Wen Hui couldn't continue talking.
Looking at Liu Mengru's face, her mouth formed an O shape in shock.
It took a long time to come back to reality and said in disbelief: "Sister Mengru, you, you, why did you suddenly become so beautiful?"
"It's all thanks to my husband."
Liu Mengru said with a smile.
"Thanks to my husband's contribution?"
Wenhui looked sideways at Zhao Ping, still doubtful, "I have also been nourished by my husband, why didn't I become like you?"
"Is it because I moisturize too little?"
"No, from now on the elder sister will have to give way to the younger sister, and the younger sister will take care of my husband more."
"Damn girl, where are you thinking?!"
Liu Mengru's face turned red and she patted Wen Hui on the head.
Then he took out the soap and explained: "The credit I'm talking about is the soap made by my husband. Just wash it and it will turn white."
"And the skin has become quite delicate and smooth."
"Hurry up and try it."
Liu Mengru forced Wenhui to try the soap, and the cooking job naturally fell to Zhao Ping.
Wenhui became very fair after being washed with soap.
I looked in the bronze mirror and couldn't believe my eyes.
But she was not surprised for too long. Instead, she quickly grasped the business opportunity and rushed to the kitchen to ask Zhao Ping, "Ms. sir, besides making people whiter, does this soap have any other effects?"
"Can soap make people whiter?"
Zhao Ping was a little shocked.
Looking at Wen Hui, I found that she was indeed whiter than before.
Is there something wrong with the soap I developed?
Has a mutation occurred?
Isn't this thing a decontamination thing?
When did it have the function of whitening?
Even if future generations have such mature technology, they can't make soap that whitens the skin?
"yes."
Wen Hui didn't know what he was thinking. She nodded and said excitedly: "Look at whether Sister Mengru and I have turned white after using soap."
"It really is."
Zhao Ping said: "But the function of this soap is only to remove dirt. It may be because there is too much dirt on your face."
"Shouldn't it?"
Wen Hui wondered: "We wash our faces several times a day, how come there is still dirt?"
"That's because our skin has so many pores that they're hard to see with the naked eye."
Zhao Ping explained: "The dirt is hidden in it. Even if you wash it with water many times, it cannot be washed away. You can only use facial cleanser, facial mask, etc."
"Facial cleanser? Facial mask?"
Wen Hui was surprised: "What is that?"
"It's just something to wash your face with."
Zhao Ping said.
But I felt a little moved in my heart.
Do you want to make some?
Although he does not understand the production process, his family was a family of Chinese medicine in his previous life. He has been exposed to it since childhood. He is not proficient in Chinese medicine, but he also knows the most basic identification of medicinal herbs, their effects, etc.
In addition, when he was in college, he studied pharmacology.
It took several years of study to study for a bachelor's degree and a master's degree together.
I can't make a facial cleanser as fine as my previous life.
However, whitening, cleansing, and skin care ointments made from traditional Chinese medicine can still be achieved.
It is also a completely natural product without any additives.
It should be popular, right?
Of course, Zhao Ping quickly suppressed these thoughts.
After all, he can hardly support the current stall. If he goes to work on something else, he will take too big a step and it will easily break his balls.
What's more, he has no one available.
Let’s promote the soap and frosting first, wait for the talents to be trained, and then gradually develop other products.
Wenhui continued to ask, "Ms. sir, do you have it?"
"The production process is a bit complicated, and I haven't developed it yet."
Zhao Ping shook his head.
"That's just right."
Wen Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the soap is here, it will be enough for us to make a fortune."
"When others learn the soap recipe, we will launch the facial cleanser, facial mask and the like you mentioned."
"By the way, sir, is the cost of our soap high?"
"How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"The cost is very low."
Zhao Ping said: "This soap is made from pig pancreas and plant ash. The pig butcher gives us pig pancreas for free when we buy pork. We have more plant ash."
"It just wastes some firewood. It takes some time to dry and package it into boxes."
"One pig's pancreas mixed with some lard can make thirty pieces of soap. Including our labor cost, it probably only costs about ten yuan."
"The price is two cents per dollar, and we can make a net profit of fifty cents."
"Two cents a dollar?"
Wen Hui was shocked, "Isn't that too cheap?"
"Such a useful thing, it can not only remove stains, but also make people whiter. It only costs one or two silver."
"I also want to sell it for a tael of silver."
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and said, "But we ordinary people can't afford it."
"I make soap, partly because I want to make money, and partly because I want to improve the quality of life of people in Yun'an County."
"It's too expensive, they can't afford it, and the quality of life still can't be improved."
Wenhui rolled her eyes, thought for a while and said, "Ms. sir, how about we sell it for eight cents a piece?"
"The wages you pay workers are four or eight cents a day, which is their two days' wages. Everyone can afford it."
"no!"
The one who objected was not Zhao Ping, but Liu Mengru who was following behind.
"The effect of this soap is very similar to the bath beans I used before, but it is much more effective than the bath beans."
"And bath beans cost one tael of silver per dollar, and our bar of soap costs twenty taels of silver anyway, so the price should be 20 taels of silver per piece."
hiss!
Wen Hui took a breath of cold air.
Looking at Liu Mengru, she said in disbelief: "Sister Mengru, if it costs twenty taels of silver a piece, not many people in Yun'an County can afford it?"
"Well, let's divide the soap into different grades."
Zhao Ping suggested: "The lowest one is sold for eight cents a piece and is specially provided for ordinary people."
"If you have a family member who works in our factory, the internal price is four cents per piece."
"The one with a slightly higher level sells for 2 taels of silver a piece, and the one with the highest level sells for 20 taels of silver a piece."
"The target customers for twenty taels of silver a piece are the noble ladies of the county, girls from the Jiaofang Department, etc., while the twenty taels of silver a piece are transported to the state capital, the capital and other places."
"Mr. Sir, our soaps are only of one type. How can we classify them into different grades?"
Wen Hui asked curiously.
"Simple."
Zhao Ping snapped his fingers, "First, work on the packaging."
"The cheapest kind is just a bar of soap without any packaging."
"The ones worth twenty taels of silver are packed in this kind of wooden box. For the ones worth twenty taels of silver, let's make the boxes more exquisite, preferably painted in different colors."
"The second is the difference in efficacy."
"I can add some spices or Chinese medicinal materials to the soap to make the soap have the effect of retaining fragrance and nourishing the body."
"Long-term use of our high-grade soap will not only leave a long-lasting fragrance on your body, but it can also fight against diseases."
“Can soap still have so many benefits?”
Liu Mengru was surprised.
"kindness."
Zhao Ping nodded, "As long as I want, I can make any type."
"This is the first test. It's the simplest. You two will use it first."
"When we make high-end soap later, I will replace it for you."
"Mr. Sir, who do you plan to put in charge of the production and sales of soap?"
Wen Hui asked.
"this……"
Zhao Ping was choked.
He really doesn't have any suitable candidates.
Wenhui is in charge of the winery, buying wine tanks and building boilers, and is too busy to take time off.
Liu Mengru is in charge of the textile factory.
Now she has two machines, and she is training the employees she has appointed, so she is very busy.
It seems that he is the only idler.
Zhao Ping sighed, "I will take action myself!"
