Chapter 113 Promotion of Soap Step 1
Qixian Town
Zhao Qiqi brought Gu Yanyan and a large pile of goods into the town, including soap that had been dried and ready for sale, as well as dried peppers from their family and Li Yuzhu's family.
First, deliver the dried peppers to Shopkeeper Zhang's Zuixianju. These dried peppers are much more convenient than freshly picked peppers. Not only can they be preserved for a longer time, but their weight is also reduced a lot after drying, making them convenient to transport and store.
Sending the chili peppers was secondary this time. The first priority was to sell the soap. Zhao Qiqi sat in the private room of Zuixianju drinking tea, waiting for Manager Zhang to finish his work and come over to discuss business.
In about a cup of tea's time, Shopkeeper Zhang arrived. Now that Zhao Qiqi was his benefactor, he naturally did not dare to neglect him. If he had not had an urgent matter, he would have come over as soon as the servant informed him.
"Aunt Zhao, long time no see. During this period of time, thanks to the chili peppers you provided, we have developed many new dishes at Zuixianju. There is an endless stream of people coming to our restaurant, and the dishes are in short supply. Just now, some urgent matters happened downstairs and I had to deal with them. I am a little late. I hope Aunt Zhao will forgive me, forgive me."
The chefs at Zuixianju are not just there to eat for free, their cooking skills are impeccable. Chili pepper is just the icing on the cake. If the seasonings are more complete, who knows what even more delicious dishes they can come up with.
Shopkeeper Zhang was in high spirits, as if he had finally achieved his goal. His brows were filled with joy and his heart was blossoming with happiness.
Zhao Qiqi put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I came here first to deliver the goods. I also brought the soap made in our workshop. Shopkeeper Zhang can try it first."
"Oh, what is soap?"
How come he had never heard of it before? And when did Aunt Zhao start a workshop? It was incredible.
"This is mainly used for washing clothes, but it can also be used for washing hands. We will launch products specifically for washing hands in the future. Shopkeeper Zhang might as well give it a try."
They had always used soap nuts to wash clothes, but now this snow-white thing could actually wash away dirt? Shopkeeper Zhang became interested and immediately asked someone to bring over the kitchen wiping cloth.
This cloth is used to wipe grease in the kitchen, and there are a lot of black grease stains on it.
Zhao Qiqi: Hahaha, Manager Zhang, you really think highly of me.
Zhao Qiqi was also sweating. Although he had used it before, he had never used it to wash such dirty things, especially oil stains, which were the most difficult to clean.
She watched Shopkeeper Zhang's actions nervously. Following the instructions taught by Zhao Qiqi, Shopkeeper Zhang put the dirty cloth in the water, slightly wet the soap and wiped the cloth.
"Just a little, not too much soap."
Originally, a lot of soap nuts were needed to wash clothes clean. People like them had to buy soap nuts to wash clothes in order to maintain their dignity. The cost of soap nuts in a year was not small.
Shopkeeper Zhang rubbed the dirty cloth back and forth with his hands, and actually washed out a ball of black foam. His hands were no longer greasy. It was really good. He still had to rinse it with water to see what it was like.
Shopkeeper Zhang put the clothes that had been washed with soap into the water and rinsed them. Suddenly the water was no longer clear, but turned gray and turned into dirty water.
He looked up at Zhao Qiqi in disbelief. He had washed the cloth himself, but he had not expected the effect to be so good. If he had not washed it himself, he would still have been skeptical. Now he had washed the dirty cloth so clean without any effort.
Zhao Qiqi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the effect had been achieved. Her main purpose today was not to sell soap in Zuixianju. This was not her ideal supply place. Except for Manager Zhang himself, most other people in the restaurant could not afford it and there was no need to spend so much money to buy a bar of soap.
"If Shopkeeper Zhang thinks it's okay to use, I'll give you these bars of soap I brought. Later we'll produce things for washing hands and dishes. If you're interested, I'll send them to you later."
But hand sanitizer can be provided to guests, and of course it can be used in the private rooms. The guests who come here are more distinguished and wealthy. If a good experience can attract them to visit Zuixianju more often, then the hand sanitizer is naturally worth it.
Not to mention dishwashing liquid, restaurants need this thing the most. As long as the price is lower and it can be supplied in large quantities, we can achieve small profits but quick turnover.
Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes lit up again and again. If there was a soap with such strong cleaning ability, then there would be no need to worry about washing dishes. Washing dishes was quite a hassle for them. They had to boil water to scald the dishes, and then wash them with wood ash, which made the dish look extremely messy, and the cleaning ability was also average.
If you are in the county or a higher-end restaurant, you will use soap nuts for cleaning. This is not only convenient, but the cleaning effect is also better. However, the cost is relatively high. It's not that they can't afford it, but relatively speaking, it's more cost-effective to use hot water and wood ash.
If it were an ordinary household, it would be easier to clean with less oil and water, but they are a restaurant and they use a lot of oil, so the dishes are also difficult to clean. Based on its cleaning ability, it is more convenient to use than soap nuts, but I don't know how much it costs.
Seeing that this soap is so easy to use and does not require crushing to make foam like soap nuts before washing, I guess it must be expensive.
"Aunt Zhao, I wonder how much this soapberry costs?"
If it was cheap, he would buy it and use it to wash dishes. If soap nuts could wash dishes, then soaps with stronger cleaning power than soap nuts could also wash dishes. If it was expensive, he would buy some, firstly, he could use it to wash clothes in his own house, and secondly, it could be considered as supporting Aunt Zhao's business.
"We sell a bar of soap for thirty cents. If you buy in large quantities, we can reduce the price to twenty-five cents a bar."
A bar of soap is about 100 grams. Even if you buy lard at the market price of about 16 cents per pound, after removing the lard residue and water, it takes five cents of lard to make a bar of soap. The artificial addition of wood ash and so on is not worth much, so it is only two cents. This is because she spent a little more money to take care of the villagers. The molds can be reused, and this commercial soap does not require packaging, which saves money, so she can still make a lot of money by selling it for twenty-five cents.
Shopkeeper Zhang asked uncertainly, "Is it really twenty-five coins?"
You know, each soapnut costs one cent, and it takes several soapnuts to make bubbles to wash a piece of clothing. Just now he used that piece of soap and it was done with a light rub, and there was not much loss, which shows that it can be used many times. At the price of twenty-five cents, you can only wash five pieces of clothing with soapnuts, but if you use soap instead, you can wash dozens of pieces. It is obvious which one is more cost-effective.
