Because of Yang Chendong, the toilet came out first, and most of the officials' homes in the capital have already used it. Now toilet paper has become a supporting product. Although it seems inconspicuous, it is indeed the beginning of another civilization.
Not to mention what was said in the early court, but after the court was dispersed, most of the important officials hurried back to the mansion.It didn't take long, butlers from all the mansions got on their carriages and left the city, heading straight to Yangjiazhuang, fifteen miles south of the city.
Because there are a lot of potatoes grown in Yangjiazhuang, which is currently the only one in Daming.For its safety, people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei took turns guarding the outside of the villa to prevent anyone from making trouble. When the housekeepers from various government came here, they were all blocked outside.Unable to do so, they had no choice but to hand it to the housekeeper Yang Neng with a note from the adults in the family, explaining their purpose of coming.
Regarding this, the new housekeeper, Yang Neng, had already received the order from the Sixth Young Master, and facing the housekeepers who came to ask for toilet paper, he clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. My Sixth Young Master said that toilet paper is shipped by sea." Here, the output is really limited. Before I took those out, it was based on the idea that it is better to be alone than to be happy, but now, there is really no stock in hand. If everyone really wants it, then wait for Tianwaitian trade After the store opens, go there and buy."
Yang Neng had a smile on his face.The so-called slap does not slap a smiling face, people have said so, these butlers can do nothing, so they have to return to the mansion one by one in a hurry.Since there will be no new products in a while, the toilet paper delivered yesterday should be saved. Except for the adults and the eldest wife, other people should not think about it.
Of course, some officials thought that Yang Chendong was too stingy, but it was just some unremarkable toilet paper, and he had to find a trading house that he had never heard of before to sell it. How much would that stuff be worth? For this reason, can opening a shop earn back the capital?
To say that these people's ideas are not wrong, after all, toilet paper is not something worthy of the table.And it must be without it.When there was no such thing before, shouldn’t everyone do it or how to do it?If things like this are expensive, not many people will be able to buy them.But if it is sold cheaply, I am afraid that even the rent money for renting the facade will not be able to get back.
This is the normal way of thinking, but what is going on in Yang Chendong's mind, how can people in this era be able to guess?
You say that toilet paper is worthless, it's all right.But Yang Chendong firmly believes that once people are used to it, it is obvious that they will not be used to it if you ask them to use wood chips and bamboo chips.More importantly, he intends to sell in the form of hunger marketing, which is to sell in a fixed amount for one day.In line with the idea that things are rare and expensive, once things are in short supply, the price will naturally rise.At that time, if other adults use toilet paper, do you still have the nerve to use bamboo slices?I am afraid that even if the price is higher, many people will flock to it.
Jingshi is no different than other places. There are many rich people and powerful people here. Even if the price of a small piece of toilet paper is more expensive, it is completely acceptable. This will also become one of Yang Chendong's sharp tools to make money.Although it can't be big, it's not in the long run!
Hu Fu.
Xiaoqing was lying on a wooden bed with a very painful expression.
Two sticks hit her ass, making her tender skin feel as if she was about to die.
"Xiaoqing, how do you feel? Does it hurt?" With tears on her face, Hu Yan at this moment made people truly understand what it means for a woman to be made of water.
She has been crying since returning to the courtyard last night after Xiaoqing was beaten twice. It has been a night, but the tears are still flowing out. I really don't know where she came from so many tears.
"Miss, don't cry, your eyes are swollen, so ugly." Xiao Qing forced out a smile, enduring the pain in her buttocks and feeling sorry for Hu Yan.
The lady is the master, and the maid is the servant. In this feudal society with strict hierarchy, Xiaoqing still dares to make fun of his lady like this. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good to a certain extent.
"I don't care, I don't care if I'm ugly, I just want to cry, cry to show my father, see how hard he hits." Hu Yan shook her head vigorously, looking extremely wronged.
"But miss, my lord has already beaten me. It's useless even if you cry. It's better to find some medicine for Xiaoqing to apply to the wound." Xiaoqing shook her head helplessly. Miss is really cute at this time, but her butt really hurts.
"Ah! Do you need to apply medicine? Xiaoqing, does it hurt? Don't worry, I'll go out and look for medicine." Hu Yan also got up at this moment, and then wiped the corner of one eye with her sleeve. Tears, and then strode out of the house.
Outside Miss's courtyard, Hu Changning gave Hu Yan a foot restraint order, and Captain Gao Sheng was guarding here.
When he came out, he happened to see Gao Sheng dressed in Jin Yiwei, and Hu Yan was furious.She believed that it was because of this person's complaint that she, Xiaoqing, and Captain Sun Chuang all suffered.
"Miss." Seeing Hu Yan coming out, Gao Sheng puffed out his chest and greeted her.Although he knew that what he did was arranged by adults, it was a fact that he offended the young lady.
As soon as Hu Yan walked to the front of the courtyard, she deliberately looked at Gao Sheng with an angry look on her face.But maybe this gaze was too harmless, Gao Sheng's complexion remained unchanged, still showing neither humble nor overbearing.
"Do you have trauma medicine?" Hu Yan, who wanted to get angry and ignore Gao Sheng, couldn't hold it any longer. Thinking of Xiao Qing who was in pain in the room, she had to bow her head.
"Yes." Hearing that he didn't want to question himself, but wanted trauma medicine, Gao Sheng immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it over. "One dose can cover the wound, three times a day."
Chapter 80 Father Hu bows his head
Reaching out to take the porcelain bottle, Hu Yan angrily turned around and left without even saying thank you.
Gao Sheng seemed to be used to being treated like this, he just smiled and stood where he was again.But at this time, a coughing sound suddenly sounded from behind him, he turned his head vigilantly, and when he saw the person coming, he hurriedly saluted respectfully, "My lord."
"Huh? What did Miss ask you for just now?" It was Hu Changning who came, and he was looking constipated.
It's not for anything else, but because he was called over by his mother Hu Yushi after he went to court, saying that he wanted him to find a way to get some toilet paper. At this moment, Hu Changning was stumped.
It turned out that after the Yang family sent the toilet paper yesterday, Hu Wang, who was in charge of the backyard, was going to put it in the warehouse at home, but Hu Yan who was rushing to take it away, and then she used it, and the effect was indeed very good Well, I gave the rest of the things to my mother and grandma Hu Yushi.
With the recommendation of his granddaughter, Hu Yushi asked people to verify the magical effect of this thing, and sent the rest of the toilet paper to his relatives in the city.This is also the way the old lady has always acted.Perhaps because of his humble background, Hu Yushi has always attached great importance to his relatives, and once he has something good, he will send it to him immediately.
The toilet paper is the same, except for a small package, the others are given away.The eccentric Hu Mei came back from the court and asked the old lady about the toilet paper.The old lady, who was out of stock, had to hand over the task to her son, and said that she would get more, and some relatives did not share it.
In Hu Yushi's eyes, his son is Jin Yiwei's envoy, and there is nothing that can hinder him.
After Hu Changning took over the task, he was indeed not in a hurry, and sent the housekeeper of the mansion to Yangjiazhuang, fifteen miles south of the city, to ask for it.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be empty-handed.According to the butler, not only the Hu family, but also many ministers in the court sent butlers, but none of them brought back a pack of toilet paper.
Hu Changning, who had already agreed to his mother, became anxious.Thinking that since the things were filially given by the daughter to the old lady, she should have some stock in her hand, so she had to bite the bullet and come to the door.
If it was usual, Hu Changning promised that his daughter would agree to such a thing if he asked, and the relationship between their father and daughter has always been very good.But this time he had no confidence in his heart.He just punished him yesterday, so he is really not sure about opening his mouth now.
Even though he was not sure, Hu Changning, who had always been extremely filial, decided to give it another try. He couldn't disappoint his mother, no.
While Hu Changning was still thinking about how to speak, Gao Sheng, who was standing in front of him, had already replied: "Your size, Miss asked me for trauma medicine."
"Trauma medicine? Is Xiaoqing seriously injured? It's just the two army sticks." Hu Changning said indifferently.
When Gao Sheng heard this, he couldn't help thinking that it might not be a big deal for the two armies to beat the soldiers with sticks, but for Xiao Qing, who was delicate and tender, and was very cared for by the lady, it was already a heavy punishment.
Thinking like this in his heart, he really couldn't say that, so he could only say with a solemn expression: "It's the first time that young girl has been subjected to military sticks, and the two sticks don't have any moisture, so it's okay to get hurt." Inevitable."
"What? Don't you have any moisture at all? I said you are too. She is a maid. It's not like you soldiers with thick skin and thick flesh. How can I treat them equally." Pretending to be very angry, he reprimanded Gao Sheng. , Hu Changning said casually, "Okay, let me go in and have a look."
Striding into the young lady's courtyard with big strides, Gao Sheng froze in place as he watched Hu Changning's leaving back.Why can't they be treated equally? If the two sticks have water and the beating is painless, I'm afraid I will say that I am favoritism later. This is really not a good job.
Let's say that Hu Changning strode into Hu Yan's courtyard.Before the person entered, he said loudly, "Is Yan'er there? I came in for my father."
As soon as the shout fell, Hu Yan, who still had an angry expression on her face, had already walked out from the main entrance. "Of course my daughter is here, but where can the grounded person go?"
"Hehe." Hu Changning smiled awkwardly when he heard the tone of his words, and then stretched his neck to take a look into the room, "Is your girl, Xiaoqing, okay?"
"Is it okay? I can't die for the time being." Hu Yan's answer was still cold.This time she was really disappointed with her father. It is true that she did something wrong, and the punishment of being grounded is also appropriate, but Xiaoqing shouldn't be beaten, and she was beaten so hard, and there was a lot of blood on her buttocks. She cried all night, and she was still in a trance at this time.
As soon as Hu Changning heard the words that he couldn't die, he knew that his daughter was still angry with him.But as a father, how can he just apologize casually, thinking about what to say, maybe there are some sarcastic words waiting for him, he simply stopped asking, but asked straightforwardly, "Yan'er , I ask you for my father, do you still have the toilet paper sent by the Yang family yesterday?"
Normally, Hu Yan would definitely ask why, but now she was so angry that she turned around and left without thinking.When he came back after a while, he put a small package of untouched toilet paper into Hu Changning's hands.
"Could it be that much?" Seeing that there was only this bag in his hand, Hu Changning felt that something was going to go wrong.
"My daughter only left two small bags, and the rest were given to my mother and grandmother. What's the matter? Could it be that father also took the half of the bag?" Hu Yan was really angry for a while.She thought it was her father's revenge, because she had made him angry, and now she was not even allowed to use the toilet paper, and had to hand it all over.
Hu Changning heard the resentment in his daughter's mouth, and knew that if he didn't explain it, it would probably become a pimple between the father and daughter.Then he said the matter again, "It's not that my father wants it. Yan'er knows who your grandmother is, but if there is any good thing, she must give it to her relatives in her natal family. That's right, as soon as the toilet paper comes, she will take it all." I sent them out, but it was still not enough, so I called my father to ask me to find a way. But the housekeeper in the mansion went to Yangjiazhuang, and the housekeeper of the sixth young master confirmed that the things were brought by sea, not our products of Ming Dynasty. He also has no stock in his hands, so if he wants something, wait for the Tianwaitian Trading Company to open and buy there. But your grandmother is impatient, how can she wait so long."
After speaking, Hu Changning spread his hands, expressing that he was helpless.
Originally, she was prepared to ignore her father, but when the matter involved Yang Chendong, Hu Yan forgot the decision in her heart, "The sixth young master is gone? If not, why did he send it to every family yesterday? It doesn't make sense."
"Yes, no one would believe that there is nothing left of the sixth young master. But it's not too long, it should be true. Otherwise, he wouldn't have refuted the face of so many ministers. It's just that he If you do this, the idea of getting toilet paper from there must be minimal." Hu Changning shook his head while talking.
After hearing that her father's analysis was the same as her own, Hu Yan did not hold the same opinion, but said seriously, "Since the Sixth Young Master has them, as long as the people who are sent out are suitable, they can definitely ask for some. Why don't you go with your daughter?"
I have always wanted to see what this Yang Chendong looks like, but I have no chance.Isn't now the time?This is to fetch toilet paper for grandma, which is a manifestation of filial piety, and even if other people know about it, they can't blame it.
Originally, Hu Changning was still worrying about this matter.The identity of the butler is not easy to use, do you have to go there yourself?But if you want to come, it's okay to say, otherwise it would be a big loss of face.
