Chapter 296 Selling soap.
"Yes...we were mistaken."
"No matter who your majesty appoints as the imperial merchant, it is your majesty's decision. We... have no right to interfere."
"What we have now is enough. We dare not ask for more."
Jiang Xiang: "It's good that you think so."
As they were talking, a waiter opened the door from outside.
"Boss, Qin Shanghu and his men are here."
Qin merchant?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiang and other merchants stood up.
Jiang Xiang: "Please come in!"
"Yes."
Soon.
Qin Lou walked in with a few merchants.
"Brother Jiang..."
It was only when Qin Lou came in that he noticed that there were so many people in the room.
Although the other merchants were somewhat dissatisfied and unwilling towards Qin Lou and several foreign merchants.
But after what happened in Jiang Xiang, the tone has faded a lot.
At this time, the emotions have calmed down.
After everyone greeted each other, they sat down.
Jiang Xiang said to Qin Lou: "Congratulations."
"We have already known that His Majesty has named you as the Imperial Merchant."
Qin Lou and several merchants hurriedly spoke.
"Thank you very much."
"We just got the news, and we still can't believe it."
"I didn't expect that His Majesty would also make us imperial merchants?"
“This is really beyond my expectation.”
Jiang Xiang said, "I wonder what brings you here this time?"
Qin Lou said, "We are going to leave Xianyang tomorrow and return to our county."
"I came here today to say goodbye."
"Thank you for your care these days. We are very grateful."
When Jiang Xiang and a group of merchants heard Qin Lou say they were leaving, they were stunned.
"You guys...are going back now?"
"Yes."
Qin Lou said: "We have been delayed for quite some time on this trip, it is time to go back."
"I have a shop and business to take care of at home, and I can't be away from people for too long."
"We have already exceeded our quota for what we were supposed to do this time, so there is nothing more to do here."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Xiang also nodded.
"Okay, now that it has been decided, I will put it into practice for you today."
Jiang Xiang opened the door of the wing room and called in a waiter.
He was told to prepare some food and wine.
Jiang Xiang: "We won't see you off tomorrow."
"Eat and drink well later."
Qin Lou and several merchants: "Okay!"
............
Early the next morning.
Qin Lou and several merchants left.
Jiang Xiang, together with other merchants, started selling soap and perfumed soap.
Soaps are affordable.
Even ordinary people can afford it.
Soaps are high-end.
The pricing is extremely expensive.
As soon as the soap and perfumed soap were launched, they attracted many people to watch.
"Hey, what is this?"
"Why do you look so square and white?"
"Yes. And, do you smell a fragrance?"
"It smells a bit like peach blossoms......."
"Shh, listen to the introduction of the guy in front..."
"This is called soap, so it must be scented."
"That's soap. It should be unscented."
"I just don't know what these two things are used for? Are they something to eat?"
“It looks a bit like pastry.”
A man who looked like a waiter stood in the middle.
There is a table in front of me.
There were two basins of water on the table, as well as a bar of soap, a piece of scented soap, and several towels.
The man picked up a dirty handkerchief.
"Everybody, look!"
"Is this handkerchief dirty?"
"dirty!"
someone shouted.
The man said, "This handkerchief is so dirty. I can put it in water and it will be clean."
"Do you believe it or not?"
“I don’t believe it!!”
The onlookers sneered at what the waiter said.
Many people have washed their clothes.
How could such a dirty handkerchief become clean after passing it through water?
Isn't this obviously a lie?
The clothes they wear on a daily basis, when they get dirty, they are rubbed and washed, but they may not be able to be cleaned.
The handkerchief looks like it has black and green patches.
How can it be washed clean?
"Then let's make a bet."
The waiter said: "If I can make this towel clean, you will have to shout three times, "Jiang's soap is the cleanest way to wash clothes!"
"Ok?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
bet?
Still want to use Jiang's soap to wash clothes the cleanest?
Someone shouted, "What if you lose?"
"I lost?"
The guy said, "If I lose, I'll give you this soap!"
"I'll give each of you one piece!"
Yo?
Send soap?
"Is this true? Is it free?"
"Really? It's free!"
Upon hearing this, the people watching became excited.
If you have free stuff, don’t miss it.
"Row!"
"We made a bet with you!"
"If you lose, give each of us a bar of this...that...soap!"
"Don't you dare cheat!"
"I'll remember you!"
Guy: "Okay, okay, don't worry."
"I keep my word."
"Besides, there are so many of you surrounding me, where can I run to?"
"Come on! Let's look! Look here!"
The guy held up the dirty handkerchief and showed it in all directions.
Then he picked up the soap from the table.
"I just put the soap on the rag and rub it back and forth like this... Hey, rub it twice."
"Then I rubbed it again and again... Look, there are bubbles on the handkerchief."
"Then put it in the water........."
The guy pinched one corner of the handkerchief with two fingers.
Soak the towel completely in clean water.
Swing back and forth a few times.
"Come on! Everybody, look at it."
"Open your eyes wide and don't blink!"
The guy slowly pulled the handkerchief out of the water.
The originally dirty handkerchief unexpectedly became clean.
The people who had been staring at the scene with wide eyes suddenly opened their mouths in shock.
“What…what on earth is going on?”
"How come the handkerchief became clean in the blink of an eye?"
"Yeah, just shake it in the water twice, and it will be clean when you take it out."
"How on earth is this done?"
"Could it be that there is a clean handkerchief hidden in that basin?"
"Yes, there must be a handkerchief in the basin!"
The guy also heard this, but he was not panicked at all.
"I said there's a handkerchief in this basin. Come, come here and look into the basin."
"Put your hand in there and feel around to see if there's any more towels in this basin."
