Chapter-64: this soap is the favorite of noble ladies in capital
Wendy Lark was not at all stage shy and she confidently took the samples and introduced them. "This soap is used to wash clothes and hands. It is clean after one use. Anyone who uses it will know it."
"This soap is used for washing the face and bathing. It makes the skin smooth and tender. It is the favorite of the noble ladies in Capital. They all say it is good after using it."
She is very friendly and has a sweet smile, which makes people feel good about her and can't help but believe what she says. Is it the favorite of Capital noble ladies? It sounds very high-end and expensive, right?
Wendy Lark raised her hand, and Master Jeff brought a basin of water and a few dirty pieces of cloth, "Who wants to try it for themselves? We will give you a small gift."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Can we try it ourselves? None of us had ever seen such a scene before, so we were a little confused. Wendy Lark glanced at the crowd and gave a wink.
A woman in sackcloth came out from the crowd, timid and a little reserved, "What do you want to give me?"
"A steamed bun…." The sackcloth-clothed woman's eyes lit up and she became excited. "Let me try." For a steamed bun, she used soap to wash the dirty cloth in front of everyone. It was clean in one wash.
The woman couldn't help but praise it again and again, "It's easier and cleaner than wood ash, and it's more convenient. Things in the capital are good."
She kept praising it, and everyone could not help but marvel at it as they had seen it with their own eyes. They were so eager to try it out that they could not help but go forward and try it out. "How much is this one?"
Most people can't read, so they won't understand even if it's written. Wendy Lark looked very painful, and was particularly unwilling. "The original price was one hundred bronze coins, and the current price is fifty coins, which is equivalent to buying half and giving half away."
It's actually half the price, which makes me even more tempted. I feel like I'll be missing out if I don't buy one. Wendy Lark smiled warmly and spoke in a very gentle and clear voice, "This is very durable. The clothes for a family of four can be used for a year."
Everyone did the math in their minds and decided that fifty bronze would last a year, which was not bad, just like eating less meat. The woman in sackcloth picked up the soap again and fell in love with it at first sight.
She took it to her nose and sniffed it. When she heard that she could try it as well, she happily washed her face with the soap. She stroked her face and smiled happily, "It smells so good, and my face feels so smooth and tender, so comfortable."
The beautiful women gathered around and touched her face. "Really…? It's very smooth. How much is it?"
"The soap originally cost two hundred coins, but now costs one hundred." The women hesitated, but the sackcloth-clad woman liked it more and more. She gritted her teeth and trembled as she took out her purse from her bosom.
She was obviously reluctant to give it up, but she still didn't want to miss it. "I want a bar of soap, a bar of scented soap. My daughter is getting married soon, and I want to take care of her skin."
After you have the first one, you will have the second one. If you have enough money, you will buy one. But not many people buy soap because it is a bit expensive. At this moment, a delighted voice suddenly rang out.
"Hey, is this the most popular soap in Capital? How did it appear in such a small place? It's incredible." Several men dressed as merchants came over, looking puzzled. "What? It's only a hundred coins? It is so cheap…? Half the price of the capital... What's going on?"
Wendy Lark repeated the reason just now, and the businessmen's eyes lit up with excitement. "You can't even buy it in Capital even if you queue up, but you can find it here. I want 20 bars of soap."
"I want fifty bars."
"Give me a hundred bars."
The onlookers were stunned. Is it really that good? "You don't need so many, do you?" Wendy Lark was not in a hurry to ship the goods. Instead, she gently advised, "It will take forever, so it's better to buy less."
The onlookers thought that she was a rare good person. Although she was young, she was kind. The businessman looked like he had made a fortune and was extremely happy, but he still had to keep calm.
"It's a rare opportunity. This thing is for home use, so it's more decent as a gift. I can also buy it to make my daughter look up to me, so that my husband's family will think more highly of me. I don't buy it every day, only once a year."
"Yes, it's very honorable to give gifts during festivals."
"We can also resell them..."
The businessman seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words, "Ah, no… no… no…, I mean, give them away everywhere."
They waved their silver coin bills to buy, scrambling for the chance to buy, fearing that all the soaps would be snatched away. Seeing this, Wendy Lark was very touched. "How about this, buy twenty dollars and get one free, as a thank you for your support."
The merchants were as happy as if it was New Year and bought more. This scene deeply aroused everyone's desire to buy, and they all joined the rush to buy.
They would be sorry for not grabbing such a good thing. It's a rare item, it's on sale, and there are gifts. How many people can withstand such an onslaught?
