Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 131 The final word

Yun Xi held the gold ingot soap in the palm of her hand. From a distance, it looked like a real ingot.

But if you look closely, you'll see that it's very transparent and beautiful.

The people around stared with wide eyes.

"How about it? Do you think this is okay?" Yun Xi asked.

"Yes, that's great, little sister." Yun Yan clapped his hands and said excitedly.

Ying Tianchen also showed a hint of appreciation and approval in his eyes, "It looks very nice, and the meaning is also good. It will definitely be very popular."

Yu Fengfeng also nodded subconsciously and said "yes". This time he really felt that what their little prince said was right.

Ying Tianchen tilted his head slightly and glanced over, and Yu Fengfeng quickly closed his mouth.

Yun Xi smiled with her eyebrows curved, "I also think this has a good meaning. If we make a high-end packaging box, it should be even better."

"Miss Yun, do you have any good ideas?" Ying Tianchen asked.

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "I think a brocade bag or a wooden box would be fine. What do you think?"

"Can this be put in a brocade bag?"

"Yes, but it has to be dried thoroughly. If it is dried, the soap will become hard. It's fine to put it in a sachet. But I think a box is more upscale, but it will probably cost a lot more."

After saying this, Yun Xi felt that everyone was looking at her in a strange way, even Ying Tianchen and Yun Yan.

Yun Xi blinked and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Yun Yan replied, "Little sister, are you wrong? This wooden box obviously costs much less than a brocade bag. It only costs a few coins to make a palm-sized wooden box. But it's different for a brocade bag. Good silk fabrics are not cheap. Although a brocade bag doesn't use much fabric, it will be expensive if it has embroidery or something. It will cost at least a few hundred coins, or even more."

"Yes, a better-made embroidered bag will cost a few taels of silver," Ying Tianchen added.

Yun Xi really wanted to cover her face. She really didn’t know this.

After they reminded her, she understood instantly that embroidery in this era was much more valuable than carpentry.

A better brocade bag must be made of fine silk. Fine silk itself is not cheap, and with embroidery, it becomes even more expensive.

But wooden boxes are different. The wood is basically cut from the mountains. In everyone's opinion, this raw material is worthless. A wooden box costs a few coins, which is basically the labor cost.

Nowadays, it only costs a dozen silver coins to buy a common wooden stool. This palm-sized wooden box can't be harder to make than a wooden stool.

So the cost of wooden boxes is really not high.

Unlike later generations, you can make a small cloth bag with a sewing machine in just a few clicks. If you want a pattern, some fabrics already have nice patterns, and even if they don't, printing is also very convenient.

Anyway, the cost is definitely much less than that of a small wooden box.

She smiled awkwardly, "Haha, I just made a slip of the tongue. What I meant was that the cost of using the brocade bag is too high, so we should just use a wooden box. Then we can ask a carving master to carve the same pattern as the soap on the lid of the wooden box."

Ying Tianchen nodded, "Okay, this is a good idea."

“Then we need to find a carpenter with woodworking skills and a carving master next.” Yun Yan said.

Yun Xi nodded. "Yes, we can first ask in the village if there are any people who know how to do carpentry and carving. We can also look for people in nearby villages, or ask the brokers in the city. We need to find more people."

"Then Second Young Master Yun can ask around in the village and nearby villages. We can stop by the human traffickers on our way back to the city." Ying Tianchen really thought that this was just something that could be done casually.

"Okay, let's do it this way." Yun Xi made the final decision.
