7. Chapter 7

Military Camp

Qin Fang didn't need anyone to call him today. When the time came, he came out of the tent by himself.

"Boss Qin, your wife hasn't come to deliver food today."

"Boss Qin, you are so lucky. Your sister-in-law comes to deliver food to you every day."

"Boss Qin, what will your sister-in-law deliver today?"

Qin Fang: "Go eat your food. You will know when you get a wife soon."

The soldiers chuckled.

Qin Fang walked to the back door of the military camp. He sat on the stone where he had eaten yesterday for a while, and then he saw the annoying woman coming with a basket. He quickly got up and ran over.

Yang Haiyan was a little surprised: "Why did you come out?"

Qin Fang: "Is it heavy? I'll carry it."

Yang Haiyan heard that the man knew how to care for you, which was a good start. She gave the basket to Qin Fang and said coquettishly: "It's heavy. My hands are sore from carrying it."

Qin Fang: "..." What to do? Give money to buy ointment? "Then don't come tomorrow, have a good rest."

Yang Haiyan: "It's okay, I'll send you something simple tomorrow."

Qin Fang: "Then go get some ointment to apply on your hands tomorrow." Qin Fang wanted to hit himself again.

Yang Haiyan: "It's okay, just take a rest."

The two came to the stone, Qin Fang opened the cloth on the basket first, and inside was a small earthenware jar and a large lunch box. The amount of rice was not as much as the noodles yesterday, because there was also a jar of soup.

The soup exuded a strong smell of fried fish, and the soup was thick and white. Even if there was only one dish, Qin Fang tasted the red and prosperous taste. He thought to himself, this woman's cooking skills are really good.

But, this is fish and tofu, is the money enough to spend?

Qin Fang was eating, and Yang Haiyan also asked curiously: "Husband, when you finish your duty this month, do you want to invite your boss and colleagues to your home for dinner?"

Qin Fang paused.

Yang Haiyan: "We should also invite people to drink a cup of wine at our wedding?"

Qin Fang: "Okay, I'll notify people and tell you in advance." With this woman's craftsmanship, it must be good. However, it will cost money again. However, when others got married, they also invited him to dinner, which is indeed what he should do. He didn't think about it before, but now that she mentioned it, he couldn't pretend not to know.

Yang Haiyan returned to the town and went to the carpenter's shop first. The wooden soap model she ordered was ready. When she returned home, the soap she made early yesterday morning had become solid.

So Yang Haiyan cut the soap. Because the bowl is round, the soap is also round, so she cut it according to the tic-tac-toe pattern and cut it into nine small pieces. A total of 150 grams, each piece is about 15 grams.

After cutting, Yang Haiyan used the newly baked soap to wash her hands. The soap with a little rose scent was very satisfying to use. The cost of these nine small pieces of soap is only five cents, and each piece does not cost a cent, but if you sell it, it is no problem to buy five cents for each piece. This soap can be used for washing hands, bathing, and washing face.

In addition to reselling pig intestines, Yang Haiyan thought of this method. She decided to find a marketing point, thinking that Qin Fang's monthly allowance was indeed not enough to support her, so she had to make money. The marketing point is naturally a rouge shop, so which one should she choose?

This is Yongzhou, Yongzhou is ruled by Yonghe Hou. Half of Yonghe Hou's family members are in the capital, and Yonghe Hou, the prince, and the prince's wife are all in Yongzhou. The prince is the next Yonghe Hou, so he must also be here to cultivate this responsibility from an early age. After the prince inherits the title, the old marquis will return to the capital. If the prince's wife already has a legitimate son, that is, the next prince, then she must also return to the capital, leaving the next prince here.

To put it bluntly, it is to return to the capital as a hostage.

In the novel, the heroine Yang Dahua caught the eye of the prince's wife, and the hero also became a thousand households from a hundred households, and later a general because of the prince's wife's pillow talk on the prince's side.

But Yang Haiyan didn't care about these, and she wouldn't deliberately snatch the heroine's opportunity. Even if Qin Fang was a centurion for his whole life, they just needed to live in peace. What she was thinking now was that Yongzhou was the territory of Yonghe Marquis's Mansion, so naturally there were properties of Yonghe Marquis's Mansion, and the Crown Prince's wife married to Yongzhou, so Yongzhou naturally had her private property.

Women's private houses are mostly shops.

The Crown Prince's wife is the heroine's noble lady, and Yonghe Marquis's Mansion is the hero's noble lady. There is no need to be suspicious of the noble's character, so... she wanted to put the marketing point of soap in the Crown Prince's wife's shop.

It is described in the novel that the Crown Prince's wife gave the heroine her own shop to thank her for helping her. The shop sold rouge and powder. The money was not much, but it was enough to live. So... she sent the soap there, and it became the heroine's shop in the future, and her business was also booming.

Yang Haiyan found this shop, and the shop was called Yongji. It's easy to remember, Yong in Yonghe Marquis's Mansion.

When Yang Haiyan walked into Yongji, the waiter came up to her and said, "Madam, do you need to buy anything? Let me introduce it to you." One look at Yang Haiyan's hairstyle showed that she was a woman.

Yang Haiyan: "Hello, brother. I want to meet the shopkeeper. I have recently made some things that girls and ladies like. I want to discuss a business with the shopkeeper."

Yang Haiyan is beautiful, with a gentle and polite voice. The waiter was happy to hear that and immediately went to find the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked about 40 years old, with a pair of eyes that were a bit arrogant, but with a smile on his face: "Madam, please come in. I wonder what business you want to discuss with me?"

Yang Haiyan took out the soap: "This is called perfumed soap. The usage is the same as that of soap. As for the effect after use... the shopkeeper can wash your hands and try it first."

The shopkeeper picked it up and looked at it. The milky white soap looked very beautiful, and he also smelled a fragrance. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he took it and tried it.

Later, the shopkeeper talked to Yang Haiyan with shock: "Madam, how do you plan to negotiate this business?" He was the shopkeeper, of course he was smart, and he saw a business opportunity from this soap.

Yang Haiyan: "This is what I made myself. I plan to sell it to Yongji. How much do you charge for it?"

Shopkeeper: "Madam, you have a good craftsmanship. You can actually make this thing. Then..." He wanted to ask for the recipe, but he was not in a hurry. He decided to cooperate first and investigate the other party before making a decision. "Then how many pieces of such soap can Madam provide per month?"

Yang Haiyan could make as many as she wanted, but she didn't plan to make more. If she made too much, this thing would be worthless. So she said: "I can make 100 pieces per month. If the shopkeeper's price is right, I can promise that this soap will only be supplied to your family."

100 pieces is too little. Such a good thing, if the young lady of each family stocked up a few more pieces, it would not be enough for more than ten households. The shopkeeper said: "Make a little more every month, preferably 200 yuan, and I will buy it from you at 15 cents a piece."

Yang Haiyan was shocked. This thing is so expensive.

Seeing her expression, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile: "We at Yongji never take advantage of others, and the price we give to you is very fair. If you go to other places, you will definitely have to bargain. But your stuff is really good. Generally, an embroiderer embroiders a handkerchief in two days, and the most ordinary one costs four or five cents, but it's better to get something than your soap."

Yang Haiyan: "Then I will accept the shopkeeper's favor. Thank you very much."

Shopkeeper: "Madam, you can send things here, you must know the character of our Yongji. Then, Madam, can you deliver the goods according to the first, middle and last ten days of each month? One hundred yuan on the first day of the first ten days, eleven yuan on the middle ten days, and fifty yuan on the twenty-first day of the last ten days."

Yang Hai: "Today is August 28th, so I will deliver it on the first day of September, because I have some inventory at home."

The shopkeeper didn't ask any more questions, and smiled and said: "Okay."

Then, they signed two copies of the agreement.

When Yang Haiyan returned home, she made soap liquid with all the remaining lard. There were 1,400 grams of lard left, and after it was done, it was just poured into a soap mold. However, this soap mold was large, and each mold could hold about 100 grams of soap liquid, so it had to be cut into pieces, and there were 100 pieces after cutting.

On the first day of September, Yang Haiyan took the solid soap out of the mold. There were a total of 20 rectangular solid soaps. She cut each into five pieces. The original rectangular soap became a square after being cut into five pieces.

After cutting, she put it in a basket and covered it with a cloth. She went to Yongji.

The shopkeeper was waiting in Yongji early in the morning. Seeing Yang Haiyan coming, he was finally relieved. However, after Yang Haiyan went back, he checked Yang Haiyan's identity. Her husband was Qin Fang, the head of the hundred households, and was under the prince's command. He could barely be considered one of his own, so he was very relieved about her identity. After being relieved, the shopkeeper was more kind to Yang Haiyan.

"Mrs. Qin is here."

Yang Haiyan had no intention of hiding her identity from the other party, so she didn't doubt it when the other party found out. "Shopkeeper, I brought the soap, come and count the goods."

Shopkeeper: "Okay." It's one thing to be one's own people, but it's still necessary to be clear when doing business. After counting the total amount of 100 pieces, the shopkeeper paid 1 tael and 500 wen of silver.

Yang Haiyan: "Boss, I have a suggestion."

Boss: "Mrs. Qin, please speak."

Yang Haiyan: "You can ask someone to make a wooden box or a purse, and the soap can be put into the purse or wooden box, so that the selling price can be increased."

The boss thought about it and gave Yang Haiyan a thumbs up: "Mrs. Qin really has a business mind."

Yang Haiyan: "It's just that my ideas are not worthy of being accepted by the public."

After leaving Yongji, Yang Haiyan happily went to the vegetable market and collected 1 tael and 500 wen. With the remaining 1 tael, it is almost 3 taels now. Not only did Qin Fang get back the capital, but she also got more than 1 tael. Yang Haiyan was very happy.

So Yang Haiyan decided to supplement herself and Qin Fang. She bought soybeans, white rice, two pig's trotters, two catties of lean meat, eggplant, winter melon, and then bought some cloth. She spent more than 300 wen in total.

The vegetables and meat were taken home by herself, and the soybeans and white rice were bought together and sent to her.
