Chapter 114 The 1st Income
What's the reason not to use this?
Shopkeeper Zhang immediately slammed the table and said: "Well, I will buy it later when you produce something specifically for washing dishes, but for now, please sell me some of this soap. I think it is also very suitable for washing dishes."
The money was delivered to the door, so there was no reason not to accept it. Zhao Qiqi was of course willing to accept it. This soap does not contain any chemical products but only natural ingredients, so it can naturally be used to wash dishes.
In such a confused manner, Zhao Qiqi signed his first big order, two hundred bars of soap.
Two hundred bars of soap, each bar costing twenty-five cents, or five taels of silver.
Zhao Qiqi walked out of Zuixianju. The two hundred yuan seemed like a lot at first glance, but it turned out to be only five taels of silver in reality. Of course, five taels of silver was not too little, but it was less than what she had spent. You have to know that from raw materials to labor, and workshop, one or two hundred taels of silver were all invested. The main reason was that it was expensive to build the workshop, and there had been no profit, so they had been producing continuously, and a lot of soap had piled up in the warehouse. If she didn't start selling, her house would soon be full.
Yes, the original warehouse was already full, so some finished products were placed in the old house.
The workshops were completed one by one, the rooms became bigger, more workers were hired, and production increased. The initial expenses and investment were also a lot. If she didn't go out to sell soap, the money she would have would become less and less.
But fortunately, this time he made eighty taels of silver by selling dried chili peppers. After deducting the cost paid to Li Yuzhu, he made fifty taels of silver.
"Mom, how is it, Shopkeeper Zhang, do you think this soap is okay?"
Zhao Qiqi deliberately frowned, shook his head and sighed.
"It's okay. Anyway, we didn't plan to sell it to these restaurants today. We just mentioned it in passing."
Gu Yanyan thought that Manager Zhang did not agree with the cleaning ability of soap, so Zhao Qiqi reluctantly took out a signed form from behind and gave it to him.
"Hold it, don't drop it."
Gu Yanyan blinked his eyes. Two hundred yuan! Mom was just teasing him!
Zhao Qiqi got into the carriage swiftly, leaving behind Gu Yanyan and Gu Yansui who had just reacted.
Gu Yansui couldn't read and didn't know what was written on it, but as he saw his brother gradually relax, he knew it was good news.
He also breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously: "How about it, Third Brother, what does it say?"
"Brother, today we sold 200 bars of soap in Zuixianju alone and earned 5 taels of silver!"
Although Gu Yansui couldn't understand the words, he still took the list, looked at it carefully, and then laughed.
The two brothers were laughing foolishly in the street.
Bang Bang
Zhao Qiqi knocked on the carriage window: "What are you doing? Why don't you get up quickly?"
The two of them hurried up, and Gu Yansui drove the carriage towards their real destination today.
Flower Shop
It is the largest brothel in Qixian Town.
This is located at the corner of the street next to two large restaurants. Unlike Zuixianju and Penglai Pavilion, which are located directly on the most prosperous street in the center of the town, it also has a huge flow of people because it is on the street after all.
There is also some obscure and mysterious color about the half-covered face of Pipa. Several meters away from the Xunhua Shop, the strong scent of rouge and powder is already overwhelming and lingering.
Many ladies who were dressed gorgeously and had beautiful faces were leaning against the railings, with a few strands of black hair scattered and handkerchiefs in their hands fluttering in the wind. They stood there delicately as if they had no bones. They picked up the handkerchiefs and smiled at people, staring at you straight in the eyes, then lowered their heads and chuckled, gently wiping their beautiful red lips with the handkerchiefs.
When they see someone coming, they stay still but their eyes wander around. If someone can actively attract the guest to their front, then that person will be hers, so the beauties try their best to win the young man's money.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Xunhuafang. Seeing such a luxurious carriage, the beauties thought that some distinguished guest had arrived. They lost their reserve and looked around, waiting for the person in the carriage to get off.
Gu Yansui helped Zhao Qiqi down, and the expressions of several people suddenly became a little subtle. Maybe this person went to the wrong place? What was the woman doing in Xunhuafang?
Seeing another young man coming down, everyone turned their attention back to him. Although he had a good appearance, he looked like a poor scholar, so their expectations were in vain.
Zhao Qiqi walked forward and someone stopped her. It was a servant hired by the local community, who was specifically responsible for dealing with guests who caused trouble.
"Madam, this is a brothel, don't go to the wrong place."
The beauties behind him also laughed out loud. What kind of women would come to a brothel?
"Please inform them that I want to discuss business with your mother."
Yuehong came out and said, "Madam, you are already thirty-five years old. Even if you want to sell yourself to our mother now, she won't want you, haha."
Hearing such teasing, others also started laughing. The beauty's laughter made people who passed by linger.
Zhao Qiqi was not angry. It was indeed a bit strange to disturb him so rashly in such a place.
"What business are we talking about? Mom is so busy. If she has to come out to everyone who wants to see her, she can just stand here at the door every day." Another person grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Standing here affects her ability to attract customers, which is really troublesome.
After hearing her words, the servant stood in front of Zhao Qiqi with dissatisfaction and said, "Madam, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise, I will be rude to you."
Zhao Qiqi couldn't help but frown. It's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with little ghosts.
"Oh, this is unheard of. There are actually women visiting brothels."
A woman who looked like a regular customer of Xunhuafang came over holding her big belly and looked at Zhao Qiqi with curiosity and a bit of ridicule: "Why don't you, Madam, also join this Xunhuafang? I think you still have your charm."
He looked at Zhao Qiqi with his lustful little eyes, and a sticky and uncomfortable feeling suddenly surged up.
Yuehong came up and glared at Zhao Qiqi, then separated the two of them with an offside move, and nudged Zhao Qiqi. Yuehong looked at the guest with seductive eyes, climbed on him, and lingered on him with her fingers: "Sir, you haven't come to see me for a long time, and you actually fell in love with such an old and ugly woman. I'm so hungry. It's a waste that I keep thinking about you every day."
The regular customer's eyes were a little confused, his eyes were glued to Yuehong, and he pinched the warm part: "You coquettish girl, you think about men every day, okay, I will treat you well today."
The two of them went in affectionately, leaving behind Gu Yansui and Gu Yanyan with shy faces, and Zhao Qiqi with a curious look.
It’s true. It’s my first time visiting a brothel, and I’ve learned a lot. The man has a big belly and a face full of fat, and the beautiful women are really suffering.
