Chapter 181 Propaganda
Pushing open the door of the warehouse, I saw the ground filled with molds. Walking closer, I saw one side was light yellow and the other side was light green. I could also smell a faint scent on the light green side, like the scent of bamboo.
"Sister, are these the new things?" Sanmao asked.
Xiao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, I made it these past two days."
"What's your name?" Sanmao asked.
"This soap is used to wash clothes. It washes clothes very cleanly, especially removing grease stains. The effect is very good." Xiao Caoer said.
"Well, sister, this tastes good, I like it." Simao pointed at the soap with bamboo leaf water and said, and then he wanted to poke it with his hand, but Xiaocaoer quickly slapped him.
"It's just been made, and it hasn't solidified yet. It needs to be left for ten days before it can be truly made into a product. If you poke it with your finger, can this piece still be used?"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Simao said, touching his beaten hand.
“Does it take so long? It will take more than ten days for the product to solidify. This cycle is a bit long. We need to make more in advance, otherwise production will not be able to keep up with sales.” Sanmao had learned a lot about business and could see the problem right away.
"Third brother, you already know that the products will sell well even though they haven't even been sold out yet?" Simao said as he watched. Now his third brother can think of business aspects of anything he sees.
"Then tell me what's so hard to sell about the things your sister makes? There's a reward for you." Sanmao asked.
Sanmao really thought about it seriously, and finally shook her head and said, "Well, it seems that I haven't found it yet. Sister, you have to work hard, don't let me find it. Brother San said that there will be a reward if I find it. I will supervise carefully for this reward."
Xiao Cao gave him a blank look and turned away ignoring him.
"It's a pity that big brother is about to leave, otherwise the first piece of soap would definitely be given to him." Xiao Cao'er said to Damao.
Da Mao smiled and touched Xiao Cao'er's head and said, "It's okay. When the product is ready, you can put it away. It's the same if you write to me in the future and send it to me."
"Okay, I'll remember this first." Xiao Cao'er also said with a smile.
"Is this soap difficult to make? Are the materials needed easy to find? If you need anything, tell me and I will get them for you." Sanmao asked.
"At present, the materials used are only these two types and are simple. When we make high-end products, we may really need Third Brother's help." Xiao Caoer said bluntly.
"What can big brother help with? You never contribute to the family's business. If there's any need for me, you two must be polite to me." Damao said to Xiaocao'er and the other two.
"Brother, I really wanted your help, but now you have to go to the capital, so this is really difficult to do." Xiao Cao'er said regretfully.
"Tell me about your plan." Damao also became interested. It was so hard to find someone he could help with, so he had to try his best.
The brothers and sisters sat down on the chairs nearby. Although this house was temporarily used as a warehouse, it had all the necessary tables and chairs.
"Here's what I thought. There are two flavors of soap here. One is original, which means it has no smell. The other is with bamboo leaves added. After it's made, it has a light bamboo scent. I think you scholars will like this scent." Xiao Cao'er expressed her original plan.
"Indeed, this smell is good now, I like it too." Da Mao agreed. Literati like elegant things, one of which is bamboo.
[The breeze from the bamboo forest blows across your face, filling your heart with a light and elegant fragrance. The bamboo shoots are fragrant and fresh, and the lingering bamboo rhythm is intoxicating. ]
"If you had continued to stay in the Fucheng Academy, you could have used my bamboo-scented soap to wash clothes. After the clothes were dried, they would still have a faint bamboo scent, and you scholars would definitely like it. So you could help me promote the soap among your students, and wouldn't that boost sales?"
"It's a pity that you are going to the capital now, and I haven't done it yet." Xiao Cao'er said regretfully again.
"Aren't there more students in the capital? Wouldn't more people pay attention to my brother using this soap in the capital than in the provincial capital?" Sanmao asked puzzled.
"There are many people in the capital, but my brother just arrived in the capital, so he certainly won't meet too many people at the beginning. The speed of achieving the publicity effect will be slower than in the provincial capital." Xiao Caoer explained.
"There is one more thing I don't know if you have thought of, Third Brother. Damao went to the capital. According to the social circles of Mr. Zheng and Brother Hua Ming, isn't Big Brother also in contact with people at this level?
What new things have the rich and powerful families not seen? You just hold the soap and get smallpox, dragon and phoenix, but if you make a name for yourself outside, wouldn't it be easier to besiege the capital? "Although Simao is also a scholar, he has read a lot of miscellaneous books with Xiaocaoer, and his mind is very flexible. He knows more about these things than Damao.
"However, if you want to rely on Brother Hua Ming's power, it will be easier." Simao continued.
Xiao Caoer heard Simao talking about his elder brother all the time, and never thought that he himself was also going to the capital, so why was he not included in the promotion?
"Brother, you are going to the capital too, why don't you help me promote the soap."
"Yes, why didn't I promote it?" Simao was also confused for a moment. Why didn't he think of himself? I also went to Beijing with Mr. Zheng and Brother Hua Ming. Why did they always let the big brother do it? Why didn't I have a share?
Is it because I think of myself as a great hero and don't care about the smell of my clothes? But I also want to be a great scholar. Should a great scholar pay more attention to appearance than ordinary scholars?
For a moment, it was Simao's turn to start thinking about random things, but he was pulled back by Xiaocao'er's question.
"Young man, it seems like you are more suited to business. Would you like to consider doing business with Third Brother?" Xiao Cao'er teased Simao.
"No, I don't want to compete with you in the business world all day long. I'd rather continue to be a great scholar. It would be so pleasant to be an unknown hero while being a great scholar."
Well, as long as you like it, the brothers in the family all have their own clear goals anyway, and the youngest brother’s ambition is also very clear.
Should I follow him and become a ranger then?
"Or you can ask Brother Xingyun for help when the time comes, Third Brother. Even though he's not in the capital, it won't take him long to help you." Simao continued to give Sanmao suggestions.
