After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

It's not that Shi Nai doesn't want to be the agent of the capital anymore, who would think that he has too much money?Shi Nai couldn't do it anymore.

But he still refused.

Because, after he finished his filial piety, he must return to Beijing, and the matter of soap must be controlled by Xue Duan alone.Even these tribesmen in Jinling, they have never done business at all, and they have to rely on Xue Duan to lead them in all aspects?

He likes money, but he will not be desperate for money.He only takes what he should take, what he shouldn't take, and he doesn't ask for more.

Next, the two discussed the details, and Xue Duan almost couldn't wait to leave, and went back to try making soap.

"By the way, Brother Nai," he walked to the door of the study, and suddenly remembered something, "Can you disclose this matter to Brother Ding?"

Why did Xue Duan push Shi Ding away before taking out the box?

Brothers, settle accounts clearly.What's more, when the filial piety is over, the two Shijia brothers will inevitably separate.Xue Duan didn't know how their brothers' feelings were, so it was natural to be cautious.

Speaking of this, Shi Nai also hesitated.

Seeing this, Xue Duan understood what he was thinking, and suggested: "How about this, let's tell Brother Ding that I will give you [-]% of the profit, and Brother Nai will give him [-]%."

Shi Nai thought about it for a while, and thought it was feasible.

Xue Duan said again: "Brother Nai, don't worry, I will give each of you what you both deserve."

"That's work."

Xue Duan said, "Farewell."

He felt in his heart that Shi Nai was really too kind.This prescription originally belonged to Shi Nai alone, and their brothers had already started their own families, so even if he didn't want to share any money with Shi Ding, no one could say anything.But Shi Nai still shared a share with his younger brother.

However, Xue Duan felt more at ease with Shi Nai's character in his heart.

After all, a person who values ​​love and righteousness is always more trustworthy than a person with a cold temper.

Thinking about the Jia family and Wang family who took a lot of money from his family every year, but never did anything practical for their family, Xue Duan had already started to think about whether to cut off contact with the Jia family.

After all, the Jia family has been going downhill since Mr. Shan left.

******

About six or seven days later, Xue Duan came to the door again.Bring two boxes of soaps with various scents.

But this time, Xue Duan still asked Shi Ding to avoid him, but Shi Nai stopped him: "The third one listens too."

Shi Ding was startled, and glanced at Xue Duan, seeing that he also had a look of shock on his face, so he knew that what they wanted to talk about was very important, and he didn't need to be involved.

But the second brother still kept him, which moved him very much.

"Second brother?"

"Stay here, I was going to tell you about this too."

"Yes." When it came to this point, Shi Ding didn't refuse.

And from an angle that Shi Ding couldn't see, Shi Nai gave Xue Duan a grateful look, Xue Duan smiled back, and said nothing.

"Take a look, both of you." Xue Duan opened one of the boxes, and saw round cakes with a diameter of 12 yuan and two inches in diameter neatly arranged inside. Each one had a different color and a different fragrance. Same.

Shi Ding asked curiously: "What is this?"

Shi Nai was a little excited: "It's all money!"

"Huh?" Shi Ding turned to look at his brother.

Shi Nai didn't explain, but called Jin Bao outside the door and asked him to fetch a basin of water.

The water came soon, Shi Nai asked Jin Bao to go out, and said to Shi Ding, "Wet your hands."

Shi Ding stretched out his hand in doubt, and seeing his brother nodded in affirmation, he pushed his hand into the basin.

After his hands were wet, Shi Nai took a piece of sandalwood scented soap and put it into his hands: "Rub it in the palm of your hand."

Shi Ding complied.

Shi Nai took the soap away again, and instructed him to rub his hands back and forth, and after a while, lather was formed from both hands.When he rinsed off the foam and looked at his hands again, he couldn't help being startled.Then, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why are my hands so white?" He moved his hand to his nose and sniffed, "Well, it smells so good."

Especially compared with the unwashed wrist, the color is at least two degrees worse.Moreover, there is a rich but not greasy sandalwood fragrance on the washed hands.Shi Nai held up the piece of soap in front of him: "How much are you willing to pay for this one?"

"...one or two?"

——This sandalwood, isn’t it cheap?

Shi Nai and Xue Duan looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

Xue Duan asked: "Brother Ding, do you know how much my wife is willing to pay?"

Shi Ding thought for a while: "Well...women love these gaudy things, and I'm afraid they are willing to pay for it."

"Hahahaha..." Xue Duan laughed.

"Why, I guessed wrong?"

Xue Duan didn't speak, just stretched out a palm.

Shi Ding was shocked: "Five taels?"

Xue Duan nodded.

Shi Ding gasped: "This woman... is really crazy!"

Xue Duan thought: That's because you don't know the specific cost, otherwise, you can even think she is crazy.

Sandalwood is very expensive, in addition to sandalwood, there are several kinds of spices used in soap are also very expensive.But when it comes to real soap, not much spice is actually used.

However, the buyer does not know.

"This box uses precious spices." He said, and opened another box. "This box uses floral fragrances, and there are 36 kinds. Relatively speaking, the cost is lower."

Shi Ding finally had time to ask: "Brother Xue brought these, what do you mean?"

——Could it be that you want to borrow our family's influence?But today's Bowling Marquis Mansion doesn't have much potential to borrow, right?

Xue Duan laughed and said, "Brother Nai gave me the recipe for this soap. Brother Nai is Gao Yi, and he only asked for a [-]% profit."

Shi Ding looked at his brother in surprise, wondering how he could have such a good thing?

Shi Nai explained in a paradoxical way: "I originally wanted to wait until the old man separated us before taking it out."

Shi Ding understood in seconds, and he was very understanding.

——It’s not been a day or two since their old man has been eccentric, and he is so ruthless that he can’t wait to grow his heart into his armpit.

Anyway, with the old man, all the benefits should belong to their eldest brother.If the second brother had brought this thing out earlier, the brothers would not have benefited at all, and it would have been cheaper for their eldest brother.

Shi Nai said again: "You know the situation of our family. Except for the inheritance of the Marquis Mansion, the treasury is almost empty. When the family is separated, both of us will suffer poverty. We are brothers, I can't see You can't get rid of the pot. So, I will share [-]% of the profit here, and you will share [-]%."

"Second Brother." Shi Ding was very moved, and said anxiously, "Isn't this [-]%...too much?"

This belonged to the second brother, if the second brother didn't give it to him at all, although he would feel uncomfortable, it didn't matter.But the second brother gave him a [-]% profit all at once, and he felt embarrassed again.

Shi Nai said: "Don't rush to refuse, I have something to talk to you later."

Shi Ding shut up.

Seeing this, Xue Duan knew that their brothers had something private to say, so he said goodbye tactfully.

After Xue Duan left, Shi Nai asked Shi Ding: "My third son, what do you think of the 30 taels of silver our family owes the royal family?"

Shi Ding was stunned: "Second Brother means to pay it back?"

"That's natural." Shi Nai took it for granted, "In this world, there is no reason not to repay debts?"

Shi Ding thought for a while and said, "I don't know the twists and turns here. But I listened to my second brother. It's just that the rafters in the early years are not easy to make, but second brother has a way to deal with it?"

Shi Nai smiled: "What do you think, how about using the old man's name?"

If the old Hou Ye asked their brothers to pay back the money before his death, as sons of man, would they still violate their father's will?

Shi Ding's eyes lit up: "Good idea! Since the second brother has thought about it, let's pay it back."

"That's good." Shi Nai nodded, "Then I'll just say it straight. Here's what I think: we have 25 left in our warehouse. I've already told your sister-in-law that nothing can be said about the 15." Move, when the filial piety is done, part of it will be returned first. For the remaining [-], when the imperial decree comes down, those who have won the title will pay another [-], and those who have not won the title will pay another [-]. What do you think? "

Shi Ding nodded: "I have no objection. It's just that the money is hard to come by, isn't it?"

Shi Nai squeezed a piece of soap and comforted his younger brother: "Don't worry, this is all we need. Let's be more frugal. It won't take a few years, and we will have enough."

"This can earn so much?" Shi Ding was a little unconvinced, "The price is so expensive, not many people are willing to pay for it?"

Shi Nai smiled: "My third brother, it seems that you don't know much about the merchants in Jiangnan."

In order to show off their wealth, how many salt merchants sprinkled gold leaves into the river?Although other merchants are not as crazy as the salt merchants, what is the money for buying soap to them?It's drizzling!

What's more, Xue Duan made not only scented soaps for rich people, but also a kind of scentless soaps, which cost only a few pennies a piece and were sold to ordinary people.

And in this world, the most common people are ordinary people.If you add up, you will earn more money than soap.

"The most profitable thing in this world is never a luxury item. Right, System Immortal?"

"According to the data analysis, it is completely correct."
