Chapter 29 Best Sellers
"Oh, this soap is so clean!"
The women surrounded the river in surprise, holding their washed clothes in their hands and looking at them over and over again, even looking at the light from time to time. The more they looked, the more they became, the more happy they became.
“This is really clean.”
"If you don't want to say it clean, the most amazing thing is that you don't need a wooden hammer to wash your clothes. Your arms are so tired that you feel..."
"No, now it's great. With soap, you'll always save yourself from getting tired of your arms!"
"You smell it, not only clean it, but it smells so good..."
The woman who was overjoyed said with a smile.
"No, the most important thing is to avoid getting the clothes damaged. Especially last year's old clothes are getting worse and worse. If they can't pass a year, they will have to put the soles of their shoes..."
The woman next to her also smiled:
"Oh, Sister Tao, I was wondering if this soap would be more expensive. After you said this, I understood. If you put it in one end, you will wear this piece of clothing for half a year, and you will be back for more than ten cents... No, I have to buy a piece of it now, so I can't beat the clothes to pieces!"
...A similar scene was staged in the next half month by the river in Nanjing. Among them were the "salesmen" hired by Shi Yiwen, and more were the women who showed off among relatives and neighbors after using soap. In just ten days, the yellowish "unity soap" became something that everyone knew about the streets and alleys of Nanjing.
For a time, soap that was twelve cents a piece of soap even sold as "Luoyang paper is expensive". Many stores actually increased by three cents in vain, and sold for fifteen cents.
But even so, it cannot stop people's enthusiasm.
The weather is getting warmer.
The wind blowing from the sky was gone and the weather finally warmed up. The weeping willows on the Qinhuai River were all green. On the banks of the Qinhuai River, there were more and more scholars. They called their friends to go out for a trip. Of course, they would definitely bring the singing girls in the Qinhuai River pleasure boat during the outing.
However, most ordinary people do not have this kind of leisure and leisure. Most of them have to work hard for their livelihood. Those scholars who are not touching the spring water know the hardships of ordinary people.
The streets are divided into quietness and alleys are divided into rich and poor. In this narrow alley, people often live in poor people. As for the alleys of rich families, they are roads that can pass by cars and horses. The alleys more than two feet wide are hard to enter, and the damp walls are covered with green moss. These dark and humid alleys are on both sides of the residences of most ordinary people in Nanjing.
At noon, the sun finally became dark alley, and it was at this time that there was a little light in the alley. At the entrance of the alley, the elderly man sat on a small bamboo chair, leaning on the corner of the alley, enjoying the warmth of spring. The elderly man who seemed to be dozing occasionally open his eyes and greeted the pedestrians who came over.
"Three, after dinner? Are you going to work?"
Tian San, dressed in short-skinned clothes, immediately smiled silly as he listened to the old man at the entrance of the alley.
"After eating, are you always warming up here? You can't do it now. If you don't work for a day, you will have to go hungry tomorrow."
"That's right, if you don't want to be hungry, you have to work by yourself. You can't beg for food with a shame, right? Today is a good day. I guess there should be many people taking a bus out of the city for fun."
"I hope."
Tian San used a cloth towel to wipe the car in the corner of the wall, and then wiped it clean before pushing the wheelbarrow and running on the street. While running, he was drinking.
"Do you want a car?"
"Do you want a car? Master."
...
In the city, in addition to being diligent in mouth and legs, you also need to have eyesight. You must know that you should look at people, look at people’s clothes, and whether they are carrying things in their hands. If someone carrying things in their hands runs up and shouts for a few words, the person will definitely get in the car.
Since leaving the house, Tian San has not been idle. Although not everyone cares about the 20 to 30 cents of money for the bus, after more than an hour of busy work, the business has also faded.
However, Tian San was already tired and sweating all over his back. However, he didn't dare to stop. He could earn one more. It was not until he had been in the city for two hours and felt that he had sold enough strength, so he stopped by the Qinhuai River and took a rest. He didn't want to run away anymore and had no strength. He rested for a while and waited for the darkness before he could take the order to buy and sell home.
As he took a break, Tian San, who was tired and tired, sat in the car and yawned. Although he was exhausted, he felt even more bored. There were no other coachmen and chatting here, passing the time, looking left and right, women washing clothes could be seen everywhere by the river, and occasionally there would be coachmen who would make jokes a few words far apart, but this was probably the case.
"My sister of the Chen family, why do you still use a laundry wooden hammer? Let your man buy a piece of soap, which saves effort and cloth, which is much easier than using laundry wooden..."
"No, just wash it with soap, and you won't feel tired even after washing it for a long time..."
"Hey, don't mention it, didn't you buy it? If you buy soap, you don't need to knock on your clothes without a stick, right? This cloth can't stand a few times."
Soap?
What is soap?
Haven't heard of it before.
He was puzzled, and before Tian San could take the lead to ask, someone got into his car.
“Go to the dock.”
"Okay!"
When the business came, Tian San naturally responded with a smile, shouted, pushed the cart and ran towards the dock. However, in just a cup of tea, he sent the guest to the dock. He put dozens of cents in his pocket. Before he could stop, there was another guest coming to the city there.
After jogging all the way into the city, the customer wearing silk was generous and took a piece of silver, which cost about a sum of money.
"Thank you for the reward..."
With thanks in his mouth, Tian San's face was already smiling. If he could meet such a guest all day, it would be very developed.
While sitting in the car and resting on the roadside, the sound of the grocery store on the roadside reached my ears.
"Shopkeeper, Chengyehao has brought the soap, but only three boxes."
"Three boxes? Why are there so few? Don't we want ten boxes?"
"Shopkeeper Fang said, there is no way. If we hadn't taken care of us, we could only get one box at most. Only these three boxes would have been made evenly."
"That old guy, just said that, put the soap on it quickly..."
The conversation between the shopkeeper and the clerk in the shop surprised Tian San.
Is it so rare to achieve soap?
Thinking about the words of the woman by the river before, he thought of his wife's thin body, and thinking about the difficulty of her constantly tapping her clothes with the washing wood while washing clothes. Without thinking, Tian San went into the shop.
"The shopkeeper brings me some soap."
When they got home, it was already very dark. Tiansanjia was a small courtyard with a tide and old house. Before they could enter the courtyard, they heard the sound of hammering clothes in the courtyard. With the light, they could see a woman of sixteen or seventeen years old holding a laundry hammer in her hand and was washing clothes.
"Xiaoping, stop using a hammer, see what this is."
Tian San showed off and took out the two pieces of soap he had just bought.
"ah!"
Seeing the yellow square bricks in Tian San's hand, the woman loosened her hands and said in surprise.
"Isn't this soap? Third brother, you bought it from there and bought two more yuan. Now, the neighbors are talking about this. It saves effort and fabrics. I have bought it for two or three times, but I just haven't bought it..."
