Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 143 Selling things is also particular (seeking a monthly ticket!!!)

Afterwards, Qin Liushi brought Qin Hao to the study together, screened off the servants, and Qin Liushi couldn't wait to say.

"Where did Brother Hao learn the method of soap?"

Qin Hao said nonsense: "I saw it in a surviving ancient book, but unfortunately it was lost later."

Qin Liu's face was filled with disappointment, as if he saw countless copper coins flying away from his eyes.

Qin Hao couldn't help being amused, and pointed to his temple: "Could it be that mother has forgotten that children have the ability to never forget, and those ancient prescriptions are all here."

"That's great." Qin Liu clasped his hands together, kept making bows, and still muttered: "God bless, Dongchang Hou Mansion is saved."

Qin Hao said sternly, "How does mother plan to sell soap?"

Qin Liushi blinked in confusion: "Isn't it just sold in a shop? How else can I sell it?"

Qin Hao shook his head, fortunately he asked a question.

"Mother, how do you think this soap works?"

Qin Liu said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is excellent and has a wide range of uses. Once this product comes out, no one will use saponins for clothes."

Qin Hao nodded, and guided: "Such a good thing, if it's just to make hard money, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

"This..." Qin Liu sat down and looked at Qin Hao: "I'm a stupid mother, since Brother Hao already has a plan in mind, don't play charades anymore."

At this time, the Qin Liu family no longer treated Qin Hao as a child.

Qin Hao smiled and handed Qin Liu a list: "Actually, apart from soap, my child also has a secret recipe that can make soap into more beautiful and scented soap. Your family has used this kind of soap, will the folks follow suit?"

Extravagance was prevalent in the Song Dynasty, and many things were popular from top to bottom, from the emperor to nobles to officials, then to those merchants, and finally to ordinary people.

If it’s the other way around, it’s going to break down at most when it comes to merchants, nobles don’t look down on folk things, these noble gentlemen think all day about how to be extravagant, how to be different and how to be different.

Seeing Qin Liu's dazed expression, Qin Hao continued to follow the instructions: "Mother might as well make a batch of soap first, and then make a batch of exquisite gift boxes, and send them to some nobles in Bianjing City. But, and tell them that it is not easy to make this kind of soap, and the name of the soap will naturally spread throughout Bianjing City, and then we will sell it, how to set the price is not up to us?"

Qin Liu's eyes lit up: "Wonderful, this method is very wonderful."

In Qin Liu's mind, the appearance of those wealthy and noble family members trying to curry favor with her for a piece of soap, Qin Liu felt proud when thinking of this, she wanted to show those who looked down on her before, she Qin Liu Shi also has a day to stand up!
"Mother, this soap and the method of making soap must be kept in a safe place. I have already dismantled the production process. Mother had better arrange for trustworthy people to master one of the processes separately. In this way, even if someone can buy one of them, they cannot reproduce it. All the procedures." Qin Hao reminded.

In ancient times, there was no protection of intellectual property rights. As long as the secret recipe is known, it can be imitated immediately. Confidentiality is the key.

Although there is a lot of chemical knowledge in the process of making soap, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. As long as you get the secret recipe and continue to experiment, even if you don't know the principle, you can imitate it.

Qin Liushi solemnly kept the secret recipe close to her body: "Brother Hao is still thoughtful, this secret recipe is the heirloom of our Dongchanghou Mansion, no one can steal it!"

On the same day, Qin Liu's family secretly summoned a group of servants from the Hou's Mansion, and directly cleared a small courtyard in the backyard.

Three days later, Qin Liushi handed Qin Hao a piece of light red soap, and looked at him expectantly.

Qin Hao lowered his head and smelled it. There was a faint peach blossom aroma. The taste was a little weak. Since there was no essence, he could only use plant spices to provide the source of aroma. The advantage is that the smell is relatively elegant and not too strong. It can't be stored for long when exposed to the air, so Qin Hao asked Qin Liu's to prepare a beautifully sealed box for sale.

"Not bad." Qin Hao washed his hands with soap and nodded in satisfaction.

Qin Liu was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Is it possible to build a workshop for production?"

"Well, mother decides everything." Qin Hao, a dog-headed military strategist, can also abdicate. After all, he is a scholar, so it's better not to get involved in such things.

Qin Liu's family was full of enthusiasm, and soon took down a workshop, and built a soap workshop with a little modification. At the beginning, because the workers were not familiar with the operation, a lot of materials and time were wasted. The soap produced on the first day was only one. Hundreds of dollars.

On the third day, the benefits of the assembly line came into play. The output increased tenfold, and 1000 yuan of soap could be produced a day. The only trouble was that there was a shortage of raw materials for spices, which required bulk purchases.

After getting the first batch of soaps, Qin Liushi gave them as gifts, and the first one to enjoy this treatment was Xiao Qinshi.

Xiao Qin was very satisfied with this gift, and sent someone back with a generous gift.

Soon the news spread in the family circles of noble families in Bianjing. According to Qin Liu's publicity, this kind of soap can not only decontaminate, but also make the skin smoother, which is basically the same as taking a bath with milk , There is no scientific basis, but women are convinced.

Women are afraid of ugliness, and it has been the same since ancient times. What's more, in ancient times, there were groups of noble wives and concubines, and women were under great competition pressure.

As a result, the Marquis of Dongchang began to become lively, and Qin Liu's family also changed from a fringe figure among the honored women in Bianjing to a hot favorite, and received many banquet invitations from various names every day. , What she wanted was naturally the soap in her hand.

Qin Liushi's mood recently is quite comfortable. How long ago could she be treated like this?
But apart from this, Qin Liushi was also a little worried, because according to Qin Hao's instructions, the soap workshop had been producing, but not selling. A lot of money was spent, and there was no income. She was always uncertain.

Qin Hao said with a smile: "It's not the time yet, and at the beginning, we can't sell it openly. We only sell soap for 500 yuan a day, and don't sell more than one piece! The price of each piece should be set at ten yuan. It is said that it is not easy to make , Rare things are more expensive."

"That makes sense, but if that's the case, why do we produce less?" Qin Liushi asked suspiciously.

Qin Hao shook his head: "This situation will only last for a while. After the novelty wears off, it will be impossible to sell at such a high price. At this time, we must increase the volume and quickly occupy the market."

"The cost of soap is still too high. After soap is almost popular in Bianjing, we can start making soap to seize the lower-end civilian market."

After being shocked, Qin Liu paid more and more attention to this son. She even believed that her son was really the reincarnation of Wen Quxing. Otherwise, how could she know so much?
"By the way, mother brought me some soap. The class will start tomorrow, and I will also send some to the Sheng family and Zhuang Xueyuan." Qin Hao said.

Qin Liushi immediately sent someone to pick out the best quality batches and send them over. Compared with making money, she cared more about her son's studies, which had a bearing on the future of the entire Dongchanghou Mansion, so naturally she couldn't be sloppy.

The next day, Qin Hao bought a car and came to Sheng Mansion with gifts.

When he came to the school, Sheng Changbai was already shaking his head and doing his morning reading. With outstanding talent and hard work, it is no wonder that Sheng Changbai was able to pass the Jinshi exam in one fell swoop.

Not long after, Ru Lan, Mo Lan, and Ming Lan also came, and Qin Hao gave them an exquisite small box.

Ru Lan exclaimed, "Ah, it's soap."

Both Mo Lan and Ming Lan looked at her suspiciously.

Rulan raised her chin proudly: "This is a novelty item, which is rare for ordinary people to see. The day before yesterday, my mother and I went to Yongcheng Bo's Mansion to attend a birthday banquet. Put some water on it, and the soap will become extremely smooth, if your hands get oily, you can rub it off with a light rub, and your skin will become tender and smooth after washing."

"Unfortunately, it's not easy to make this soap. The Marquis of Dongchang only made some for gifting. It's rare for ordinary people to see it. I'm right, brother Zihan?" Rulan looked at Qin Hao earnestly.

Qin Hao is delighted, as expected, brain supplements are the most deadly. In order to show their status, these honorable families have made soap so high by themselves. It seems that the effect of hunger marketing is better than imagined.

Hearing this, Mo Lan hugged the box and was reluctant to let go. At the same time, she looked at Ru Lan with jealous eyes. She has looked down on Ru Lan since she was a child. In terms of appearance and intelligence, Ru Lan is not as good as her in everything, but she was born by a big lady. , taking up the title of prostitute, any good lady in the family will hold on to Rulan, and she can only get some benefits by crying to her father.

She is not reconciled, why?They are all father's daughters, so she will be inferior?
Minglan also looked at the soap in the box with some surprise, and smelled the faint fragrance. She thought that she would be very happy to bring it back for her grandmother to use later.

Seeing that Minglan was so surprised by a piece of soap, Qin Hao was even more sure that she was not a "hometowner".

While talking, Qi Heng also came: "Hey, why is it so lively today?"

Like Lan presenting treasures, like Qi Heng showing soap.

Qi Heng asked Qin Hao in amazement: "Is there any surplus, brother Zihan? Also let me take a piece back to please my mother."

"Haha, if someone else asks, there is no one. If Yuan wants it, don't worry, go to the carriage to get two pieces of soap." Qin Hao laughed and ordered.

Qi Heng was overjoyed, and bowed his hands in salute: "Thank you, Brother Zihan."

At this time Zhuang Xuexue also came, and Qin Hao also gave him two pieces of soap. Zhuang Xuexue thought it was very novel and smiled at Qin Hao.

"Zihan has a heart, and he doesn't have to worry about ink stains on his hands when writing in the future."

After chatting, Zhuang Xuexue started class, but Ru Lan and Mo Lan were obviously not in class, their eyes drifted to the soap box in the handmaid's hand from time to time, and then to Qin Hao from time to time.

After class was over and Qin Hao and Qi Heng left, Ru Lan, Mo Lan, and Ming Lan couldn't wait to return to their respective courtyards.

Rulan held the soap and wanted to show off to her mother, but when she entered the room, she heard Wang Ruofu playing with a piece of soap fondly.

"Mom, why do you have this?" Rulan Nuzui asked.

Wang Ruofu gave her a blank look: "Of course it was sent by the young master, otherwise?"

"Ah." Ru Lan suddenly felt that the soap he was holding was not so fragrant.

Wang Ruofu also saw through her thoughts: "You, it's better to give up as soon as possible, the young master didn't give it to you alone, it doesn't matter."

Rulan pursed her lips, and said unconvinced: "That didn't leave me behind either."

Wang Ruofu felt tired for a while, but after thinking about it, if Qin Hao was a talent like him, if he was a girl, he would also like it, right?
Helpless, he could only sigh and ignore Ru Lan's nympho.

At the same time, in the forest dwelling pavilion.

Lin Xiaoniang listened to Mo Lan's explanation of the efficacy of the soap in amazement, wishing she could grab it with her hands, but Mo Lan hugged her tightly, only willing to show it to her, and would not let her touch it.

Lin Xiaoniang said a little depressed: "Poor aunt is not a real lady, she can't show her face in public, and she has never even heard of such novelty objects."

Mo Lan also said angrily: "Ma'am, it's really unfair. They are both daughters of the Sheng Mansion. Why can Ru Lan participate, but I can't? Xiao Niang, you have to talk to Dad, you didn't see Ru Lan today. Lan's complacency made me mad."

Lin Xiaoniang nodded: "Well, I want to talk to your father, how did you gain knowledge when you stayed at home all day? How can you marry into a wealthy family in the future?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaoniang suddenly took Mo Lan's hand again, and said softly, "Mo Lan, how does Xiao Niang treat you?"

"Of course it's good." Mo Lan hadn't reacted yet.

Lin Xiaoniang said with a pleasant smile: "That's good, you are still young, this soap has no effect on you, so give it to Xiaoniang, with it, Xiaoniang will be able to win your father's favor and speak for you. !"

Mo Lan was dumbfounded. The soap she finally got was snatched by Lin Xiaoniang before it was warmed up, and she rushed out of the yard crying.

The maidservant at the side, Mrs. Zhou, said worriedly: "Miss won't."

Lin Xiaoniang played with the soap and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, this girl crawled out of my belly, how can she deny me as a little girl just for a piece of soap? Besides, besides me, who else can she rely on in this family? Do you expect the eldest lady to raise her like her own daughter?"

On the other side, Minglan also came to Shou'an Hall with a soap box in her arms.

But when she was about to hand over the soap box to Old Madam Sheng as if offering a treasure, Mother Fang smiled and said.

"Girl, the young master brought two pieces of soap to the old lady early in the morning. You should keep this one for yourself."

Minglan frowned, looking very shocked: "Ah, so so."

Old Madam Sheng and Mother Fang looked at each other and smiled, and were also moved by Minglan's filial piety.

The Duke of Qi.

As soon as Qi Heng got home, he couldn't wait to come to the backyard.

"Mother, look what I brought back for you."

Qi Heng's mother, Princess Ping Ning, was the only daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang before she married. origin.

The previous generation of Marquis of Xiangyang made great achievements, but unfortunately he had no heirs. In order to commend his meritorious service, the first emperor took his daughter into the palace to raise him for a period of time, and canonized her as Princess Pingning. With Qi Heng.

However, the Duke of Qi’s mansion is only superficial. In order to avoid being overwhelmed by high achievements, the first Duke of Qi took the initiative to relinquish his military power and let his family’s children transfer to learn literature. At this time, only Qi Heng’s father was leading the job of the salt envoy. It's a fat vacancy, but the nobles don't have military power in their hands, so they don't have the confidence.

Therefore, Princess Pingning pinned all her hopes on her son. Fortunately, his son was also upbeat, not only talented, but also filial to her.

"You kid, you're still so reckless at an old age." Princess Pingning said so, but it was very useful in her heart.

Qi Heng handed two pieces of soap to Princess Pingning as if offering a treasure.

"This is the soap I specially asked for from Zihan, has mother heard of it?"

Princess Pingning took it over with some surprise: "It's not just that I heard about it. Recently, the honorable families in Bianjing City are talking about it. Unfortunately, it is said that the output is too small, and there are very few people who can get it."

"Brother Heng has a heart, and mother likes it very much." Princess Pingning played with the soap with a smile, and a faint peach blossom fragrance refreshed her heart, and she liked this elegant smell.

"As long as mother likes it." Qi Heng was also very happy, could it be that his mother was so interested in something.

Princess Pingning suddenly asked: "Brother Heng, I always hear you mentioning this young master of Dongchang Houfu. Is he really as outstanding as the outside world says?"

"That's natural. Zihan not only has a good character, but also far surpasses Hai'er in knowledge. His theories are even admired by Zhuang Xueyuan. He also has calligraphy with facial features. Hai'er is even more ashamed of himself. Let's go with him." Learning, I feel that I have improved a lot and benefited a lot." Qi Heng praised.

Princess Pingning was a little surprised. She knew her son's character and would not flatter others at will.

"So the Marquis of Dongchang's Mansion is really about to rise." Princess Pingning muttered to herself, and then said to Qi Heng.

"Since someone gave such an expensive gift, we have to prepare a gift in return, lest people laugh at us for not being ignorant of the rules."

Qi Heng nodded: "But according to mother's arrangement."

That night, Princess Pingning brought Qi Heng to Dongchang Hou Mansion to visit.

Qin Liu's reception was naturally very warm: "Princess Pingning is too polite, but it's just two bars of soap, not worth anything."

Princess Pingning said with a smile: "I didn't come here today to return the gift. The main reason is that I have been hearing Brother Heng talking about your young master, and I just want to meet you today. He is indeed a handsome man."

Qin Liu's family is happy, as a parent, who doesn't like to hear people praise her children, not to mention that the status of Duke Qi's mansion is higher than that of Marquis Dongchang's mansion.

Qin Hao cupped his hands slightly: "The princess is absurdly praised, I'm ashamed to take it."

Then it was the time when Princess Pingning and Qin Liushi praised each other and exchanged education experience, while Qin Hao and Qi Heng hid aside and chatted, leaving the stage to them.

What Qin Hao didn't expect was that Princess Pingning, who had always been known for her arrogance, had become good friends with Qin Liushi since then.

Friendship between women is really unpredictable.

In a blink of an eye, another two months have passed, and the time has come to early summer. The free trial phase of soap has also come to an end, and it is time to officially launch the sale.
