Chapter 40: Fu Yan will laugh too

"The girl asked these pancreas soaps?" Huo Lang took a piece of brownish gray pancreas soap and said, "There are big and small, big fifty, and small thirty."
Hua Qingxue was stunned for a moment, she never thought that pancreatic soap would be so expensive, even a small piece would cost thirty essays.
The salesman almost saw the surprise in her expression, and said with a smile: "If the girl wants, I can sell it cheaper, lower the price, but it can't be lower, it's not cheap when the goods are received."
Hua Qingxue nodded clearly, took a piece of pancreatic soap and put it in his hands to take a closer look.
In this era, there was no soap washing powder, and ordinary people mainly used alkaline earth, acacia, and pancreas.
The pancreas is a kind of washing product made by mixing pig pancreas and plant ash. Because the pancreas contains lipase and protease, it is very similar to the modern enzyme-added washing powder. It can be regarded as an ancient enzyme-added low-foam multi-function washing The agent is relatively high-end.
Rich people will also use the pancreatic soap mixed with osmanthus and rose, which has a scent and is very fashionable.
"I have some pancreatic soap in my house, which is better than this. Do you accept it?" Hua Qingxue asked.
The salesman's face was awkward, "That's not a coincidence. The pancreas collected this time is enough. You know, girl, this pancreas is not as easy to sell as those snacks. Ordinary people don't use this thing, or just buy one. It took me several months to collect these pieces, and I don't know when they will be sold out."
Snack snacks can be bought at the end of three days if they feel good, but soap, even if it is easy to use, cannot be bought every day.
Hua Qingxue understood this reason. She originally asked so casually. She was not disappointed when she was refused. She smiled and burned the rest of the gong to Baolang.
After the dorayaki was sold out, crispy egg rolls and popcorn were quickly sold out, and there was a lot of tea left.
Hua Qingxue sighed. It seems that it is unrealistic to want to open a beverage shop in ancient times. This is closely related to the consumption concept of the times.
The business of dorayaki, crispy egg rolls, and popcorn cannot be done for a long time, because there is not much butter, and the border between Daqi and Daliao is not stable, and there will be conflicts from time to time. Herdsmen in the northwest rarely come over and travel in Daqi The scope of activities of the merchants has also been greatly restricted. I want to buy butter again, but I don’t know when...
Alas, she wants to think differently.
Hua Qingxue took the stall home and checked the butter.
At the beginning, there were only two small pieces of butter like bricks, but now there is only a small piece left. In fact, this also shows that her snack business is too good. Otherwise, the consumption of butter will not be so fast.
Hua Qingxue tried to make a pot of popcorn without adding butter.
Only the white sugar is added, the sweet and crunchy is also delicious, but the richness is lacking and a little light.
Sure enough, there is no butter...
Forget it, just keep it for yourself.
Hua Qingxue returned to his house. A variety of large and small porcelain bowls were placed in the corner of the house, which was filled with soap made in Renqiu.
After being left for so long, these handmade soaps are almost cooked and can be cut-
She took the knife and cut the soap thinly and uniformly.
A total of more than 30 pieces have been cut, and there are many leftovers. These can not be wasted, and can be sent as gifts.
However, it was a little too casual to sell directly. Hua Qingxue decided to buy some materials on the street tomorrow and pack it a little.
The next day, Hua Qingxue went shopping.
She first went to the grocery store where she bought butter last time and wanted to try her luck. The result was just like she had judged before. Because the situation at the border was tense, she had not bought the goods from herders for a long time.
Hua Qingxue was a little disappointed, but could only accept reality. In the grocery store, she bought a blade of white straw paper, a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., ready to go back.
It turned out that several stalls were selling popcorn.
The production of popcorn is simple. Just eat a few times and find that there is unpopped corn in the popcorn, it is easy to guess the method, and it will be sooner or later.
Hua Qingxue bought a small bag and tasted it—well, only added sugar, no butter, and the flavor was a lot worse.
Also, she can't buy butter, others can't buy it, or they don't even know they need to add butter.
Hua Qingxue strolled around for a while and found that there were also dorayaki. Crispy egg rolls were not found. Presumably they have no relationship with custom pans?
The business is not easy to do. After all, the foods she makes now are relatively simple. Regardless of the recipe or practice, it is easy to be guessed.
But complicated eating...
Well, she has a recipe, a tiramisu cake? Ha ha, a clever woman can't cook without rice!
And she's really not a clever woman. I tried this simple dessert many times, and only dared to sell it when I was skilled...
Hua Qingxue can only pin his hopes on that pile of handmade soap now.
...
After the Lantern Festival, Panshui City's market gathering day lasted for seven days, and it was the busiest time in Panshui City after the New Year.
For this day, Hua Qingxue got up before dawn and went to work in the kitchen.
Aunt He also got up earlier than usual, the two met in the kitchen, both smiled, and then they were busy with each other.
Aunt He still makes all kinds of buns.
There are many people in the market, not only people in the nearby villages will come to the city, but also many merchants. These people are busy doing business and can't afford to eat. They are generally willing to buy some buns and buns to satisfy their hunger.
Hua Qingxue first cooked the tea, then made popcorn, crispy egg rolls, dorayaki with the little remaining butter, and finally took her soaps and pulled the cart out.
She used to borrow auntie's cricket before going out to set up stalls. After a long time, she also felt that she was strangely cheeky. Now she is looking for a carpenter to make a new one.
A wooden pole is added to the left and right sides of the new board car, which can be erected or folded down. A piece of cloth on the wooden pole is a signboard, which is very convenient.
Aunt Cao is not here today. During the New Year, Aunt Cao dragged her family back to her family and will not come back next month.
Hua Qingxue used Aunt Cao's booth and started trading in a variety of ways.
As the sun rose, more and more people on the street. This is the first time Hua Qingxue has participated in the fair. It feels very fresh and has a particularly high traffic! More than ten times the usual!
The most important thing is that these people are here to buy things!
Even if there are people on the street, they may not necessarily buy things, but the people who catch up the market have a very simple purpose, all are: buy, buy, buy!
Hua Qingxue first experienced money collection and soft hands!
The food on her stall is selling fast, and even the tea that few people usually like, sells dozens of bowls of tea one by one!
There are also many people watching her soap.
Hua Qingxue's soap has a much more beautiful appearance than the pancreas that is now commonplace.
The cream is smooth and smooth, without any trace of debris, and the square is placed on the straw paper, just like a pastry.
Because Hua Qingxue sells other things as food, many people treat soap as a snack. After Hua Qingxue explained, everyone was surprised and asked for the price.
Hua Qingxue actually has no business acumen and is also confused about the pricing. From her selling popcorn and dorayaki, it can be seen that the butter is almost gone, I have not thought about price increases, and I have never thought of selling recipes to restaurants in the past. .
This time selling soap, she thought that the pancreas there was thirty articles, so she also said thirty articles.
After all, it's something I haven't seen before. Although it looks good, it doesn't know how to use it. Besides, the price is not cheap. Ordinary people will naturally not want to spend money on it.
Hua Qingxue didn't take it seriously, and took out the scraps that were cut off before, and gave them as gifts to those who asked about soap.
"I think it's easy to buy again." She said with a soft smile.
Hua Qingxue was gentle, and it was easy for people to feel good. A lady-in-law who frequented her was very trustworthy. After taking the gift, she bought another piece of soap.
When the sun was setting, the food and tea at the Huaqingxue stall were sold out.
But the soap only sold one piece, but all the cut-offs and gifts were all sent out...
Aunt He looked at her and couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, "You are too solid-hearted to send so much. They got it with gifts, who will buy it."
Originally pancreatic soap was a kind of thing that was bought for a long time.
Hua Qingxue didn't care to laugh, "I'll think of a way."
...
Fu Tingye committed acacia in the military camp.
Holding Hua Qingxue's comb in his hand, he slowly rubbed his head and thought: What is that woman doing now...
The two of them are almost half a month away. Why is there no news at all?
...She is so shy, even if she wants to express herself, it is estimated that she will have scruples...
Fu Tingye thought of her shyness and tenderness in his arms, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
Anyway, he is a man, would he have to worry about this with his woman? She was embarrassed, then he took the initiative.
Fu Tingye pondered for a moment, walked to the table and wrote a letter.
"Come here!"
The soldiers outside the door lifted their curtains in and saluted.
"Send this letter immediately." Fu Tingye handed him the letter.
"Yes!"
The soldier took the letter and led his life back.
It happened that Qin Lao Wu came in menacingly
He was about to speak, but Fu Tingye was laughing!
laugh? !
Fu Yan will laugh too?
Could it be that he was dazzled!
Qin Laowu was even more surprised to see Fu Tingye holding a woman's comb in her hand! Dumbfounded at Fu Tingye, he suddenly forgot what he was doing!
Fu Tingye glanced at Qin Laowu standing in a camp daze, frowning unpleasantly, while retreating the wooden comb into his arms, he reprimanded: "Why do people who march to war frighten? What do they look like?"
Qin Lao Wu: Let me go! Are you sure about me? ! Who's in a trance? Hey!
Fu Tingye said in a deep voice: "Stop, what's the matter?"
Qin Laowu turned his head back and corrected himself, saying aloud: "There is a team of Liao soldiers wandering near Wulidi from here. We suspect that they are Liao people's forward spies."
Fu Tingye's eyes showed disdain and disgust, and ordered coldly: "Take five hundred hussars to suppress them."
