Chapter 188 I'm just a douchebag

Bypassing the mirror, there are various soaps, towels and washbasins sold next to it.

Soap has existed since ancient times, but it is very, very rough. In fact, it was not popular after the Ming Dynasty. Now it is far less exquisite than Xu Ping's alkaline, and it has added various fragrances. The most advanced ones are even high-end products such as rose water, which smells fragrant and has a delicate and cute shape.

As for the towels, thanks to the woman Sun Qilang brought back from Yongzhou, she was a barbarian and had been spinning Jibei cloth since she was a child. When she arrived in Xuping Village, there was ready-made cotton, so she picked up her previous skills and spun some cotton cloth for household use. Now that the output is limited, Xu Ping simply packed it up and made towels for sale.

Xu Ping naturally knew the role of the cotton spinning profession in promoting industry, but he had been an official in Lingnan for many years and did not have the energy to spend on textile tools and craftsmanship. After returning to Beijing, there was no time now. The population of the Central Plains was still small in this era, and the linen textile industry was developed, and the demand for cotton cloth was not as large as imagined. There were already people selling cotton cloth in the capital, and they were shipped from places like Yazhou. The prices were extremely high, no less than high-end silk. If you want to develop the cotton weaving industry, you must lower the price and compete with linen cloth, which requires more energy.

The most eye-catching thing is actually washbasins, all of which are enamel basins. This era has begun to have enamel technology, but it is very immature and is still in the early stage of development. When Xu Ping was in Yongzhou, he had already changed the steel process. The casting quality has been improved much, which is enough to ensure the success of enamel firing. The exquisite porcelain effect, the lightness and sturdy metal, and the price is much cheaper than the commonly used copper basins, and it is extremely competitive.

When they arrived at the stage, several officials asked the servant behind the counter to show him the basin. Even Li Zhang squeezed in front of him, looked left and then, choosing the style he liked.

First, I took this gift back to respect the elderly and left one to please my wife. The price was also appropriate. Almost everyone who entered the shop today bought it. There were special personnel in the shop to deliver the goods. When I left, I asked them to take them home together, so I didn’t have to worry that I couldn’t get it.

Xu Ping stood aside and watched with a smile on his face. This scene reminded him of the people from remote rural areas who entered the city in his previous life, and was dazzled. He wanted to move the entire store home if he wanted this or that.

After a while, everyone chose the style they wanted, paid the money to the supervisor on the side, and held the letter in their hands, and were all satisfied.

There are many people in the capital who read and read, but there are still few people who can settle accounts. Xu Ping thought of the solution. According to the appearance of the shopping mall in his previous life, there were one or several supervisors who settle accounts at each counter, which was barely possible. This is the Sansi, which holds a lot of human resources in his hand. It is not easy for people to open such a shop.

When a few people came back, Xu Ping asked with a smile: "How is it? How much did it cost?"

Uncle Cao Ying sighed: "It's a pity that it's inconvenient to carry copper coins. If you spend a few chunks of money, the bag will be empty."

"Don't worry, this shop has already had countermeasures, and you can collect money together when delivering goods to your door. As long as the family has money, it's fine. But how much can you carry with you?"

Looking at the crowded people around, Xu Ping had no choice. He always had more than six kilograms of copper coins, how much could a person bring? If you buy a large amount of goods, you can either only bring gold and silver, or you can only collect money from your doorstep. It is not feasible to pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand.

Although there are gold and silver shops under the Three Divisions next to it, it is very inconvenient. It seems that if business is to develop, it is not possible to not issue paper money. However, there are many problems involved in issuing paper money, and we have to slowly make long-term plans.

After taking the statute, the copper coins on his body were almost spent, and the few people became more relaxed. After losing money on his body, the money suddenly became much smaller, which was also a relief.

Fang Xie looked around and asked Xu Ping: "I have heard that there are fish hooks and fishing lines in this shop, so I don't know where it is?"

Xu Ping pointed to the counter on the left in the distance of the hall and said, "Where are you, let's go and take a look together. Xun Xiu Jinmingchi went out for a trip! The fish there have been raised for a year, and it is the time to be plump!"

Since the third day of March, Jinmingchi has been open to the public, and people in the city can go in and have a special fishing area to the south of the pond. However, this fishing area is not free, you have to pay money first and get the sign before going fishing. In the end, the fish you caught were taken next to you, and someone was there to process it, make stew and soup, or barbecue, and enjoy the spring while eating.

This rule is actually similar to the urban leisure fishing in Xu Ping's previous life. However, it was in the royal garden, so it naturally had a different feeling and the business was quite prosperous.

The editorial institute has been busy since the New Year, and now it is a little free, so naturally it cannot let down the spring scenery. By the end of the year, everyone had already made an appointment to visit Jinmingchi. That was also the day when the imperial examinations were released this year, and it was particularly lively.

In this shop, fish hooks, fishing line and bait, and even the small chairs you sit on during fishing, are sold in a set. Naturally, Xu Ping learned from his advanced experience in his previous life. Such related things can be sold together to promote sales.

When I arrived at the platform, I saw a group of officials gathered there. Needless to say, they all had the idea of ​​asking for You Jin Mingchi.

Several people stepped forward and saw the favor with the person they knew from the officials who came first.

When Xu Ping saw Wang Su also stood here with a servant, he was a little surprised and said to him: "Long time no see, why haven't you seen you these days? What have Zhongyi been busy with recently?"

Wang Su said: "It's nothing, I'm just idle at home. I've just been out for a walk recently. By the way, this shop in Sansi is really incredible. There are all kinds of things in it. The Song Dynasty has never seen such a place before!"

Xu Ping said a few words casually, but he felt a little proud. It is indeed amazing to be able to run a department store and let the people in the capital experience the fun of one-stop shopping. Financial resources, material resources, connections, goods sources, etc., except for Sansi, who have this ability, let alone other merchants, no other government office can do it.

The servant brought a few fish hooks over. Wang Su looked at them casually, picked up one and asked, "What's the special thing about your fish hook here than elsewhere? You know, there is no shortage of fishing experts in the capital."

What is the most common in the capital? It is not officials, but various idle men, many of whom have a skill. As for fishing, there are quite a few famous people in the capital, claiming to be able to catch any fish. True wealthy families have such idle men when going out for a trip, and everything is done by people with expertise.

Wang Su grew up in wealth, so there were naturally a lot of idle helpers around him. It was just a whim when he came to buy it today.

The servant saw Wang Su's demeanor and knew that he was not an ordinary person. He smiled: "When it comes to official information, the fish hooks here are different from other families. Just say that the steel used is made of hard work and water and fire, no matter how big the fish is, they are not afraid of them being able to escape. And official information, this is a powerful tool for catching fish. If there is a barb on it, it cannot be removed if it is hooked. This is the only skill of this family, and there is absolutely no other place. This hook is divided into three types: large, medium and small, and can catch all kinds of fish."

Xu Ping smiled while the servant could just bloom in his mouth. The steel used by Sansi is naturally good, but the fish hook does not pick much about steel. Usually, it does not rely on quenching technology, but on work hardening. However, Sansi is naturally much more advanced, so it is really good to use steel and overheat treatment, but it is not like the servant.

Wang Su didn't know what the servant meant? He just felt comfortable when he heard it, so he put down the hook in his hand and said casually: "Take a few of all kinds of things for me and wrap them together."

Xu Ping nodded secretly. This is a rich man. But he was a little surprised. There are many people like Wang Su who have a wealthy capital in the capital, so why are there not many people today? Should they wait until there are fewer people tomorrow before they come? It shouldn't be. They are all people who are used to being at the limelight, so how can they be willing to fall behind others?
