Chapter 23: Pretending to Be a Pig to Eat a Tiger

To test the effect, Su Guan deliberately applied it to her face. The milky fragrance smelled pleasant, and after washing, her face felt smooth without any tightness, very refreshing.

Taking it in hand, applying it on the face, no issues there. The foam was fine, and the fragrance was good. Now, let's see how it works on clothes.

She called all her brothers over, giving each of them a small piece of soap to use on their faces, hands, and clothes, to evaluate its effectiveness.

It was their first time seeing something so novel, and Su Yun was the most enthusiastic, trying it out repeatedly.

"Seriously, this stuff smells really nice. After washing, it feels so fresh!"

Su Mu was more direct. He tested its cleaning ability directly, taking some dirty clothes to wash. After using the goat milk soap to scrub, he felt that it cleaned very well, leaving a smooth texture. The water that came off was dirty, and compared to clothes washed with other soaps, it was indeed much cleaner.

It was easy to rinse off, and the foam washed away quickly.

"It cleans clothes quite well, not bad!"

At first, no one knew what this was and felt it was unreliable, even a waste of resources. But now they understood what Su Guan was selling.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Su Guan knew it was a success, and her confidence grew.

"Yeah, brothers, if ordinary people have access to such a good thing in their daily lives, wouldn't it be very popular? It's affordable and effective!"

From the beginning, Su Guan had a plan for what to do next to make money. She just lacked the initial capital, so she decided to start implementing it now.

The main goal now was to build good relationships with her older brothers. Getting them to look at her differently was a shortcut.

Su Guan was right; along with a good product, the price had to be reasonable for people to buy it in large quantities.

"Guan Guan, this is indeed a good thing. You're very clever!"

Suddenly, Su Jing felt that his youngest sister, at her age, knew a lot.

"Guan Guan, how did you learn to make this? Did the Gu family teach you?" Su Yi smiled with narrowed eyes, looking harmless, but his question was the most direct and accurate.

After all, the Gu family had been in business for generations. With such a great business opportunity as goat milk soap, if they knew how to make it, they wouldn't have missed this chance.

How did it end up being made by Su Guan?

Su Yi is indeed a sly one; he is very perceptive.

"Well, Fifth Brother, I usually have a lot of free time and enjoy tinkering with these things. It was by chance that I discovered that mixing plant ash with oil can create this soap. Then I had a whimsical idea to add some goat milk to it, and here we are!"

Su Guan explained, her face neither blushing nor skipping a beat, emphasizing her sincerity.

"Well, Guan Guan, you certainly have a clever mind!" Su Yi didn't press further and seemed to believe her.

"Of course, all my brothers are gifted individuals, very clever. I, as their sister, can't afford to disappoint you all!"

Su Yun was quite pleased with this statement; he considered himself talented in cooking and unconsciously felt a surge of pride.

Su Mu curled his lips into a smile and raised an eyebrow, thinking that his sister was acting like a tiger in sheep's clothing.

But it couldn't be denied; she was truly intelligent.

"Alright, it's getting late. Guan Guan, let's get going. Second Brother, take them to dry the grain. Be mindful of the weather; we don't have much time before it rains!"

Su Jing observed that the time was running out, and Old Hong probably couldn't wait much longer. These past few days had been quite hot, and there were signs of rain.

Su Guan took ten bars of goat milk soap with her; this time, she had produced a total of eighteen. She wanted to test the market.

Before leaving, she handed a drawing to Su Yun and gave him some copper coins from her purse, instructing him to find the village carpenter to make a few molds.

Goat milk soap not only needed to be effective but also needed to look appealing. She had drawn up the design for the molds a few days ago.

"What's this?" Su Yun looked at the well-drawn drawing with detailed patterns and found it quite impressive.

"These are molds for making goat milk soap. Fourth Brother, please make sure to tell the carpenter that the patterns inside should be well done. Thank you for your hard work. Bring some delicious food when you come back!"

It was like placating a child, and Su Yun didn't realize it. He tucked the drawing into his pocket, as he was now quite optimistic about this goat milk soap.

Su Guan carried a small basket filled with goat milk soap, and she already had a marketing strategy in mind.

The busy farming season was nearly over, and these days, many people from the city were visiting. Everyone was curious to see the Su siblings, especially Su Guan. She answered all their questions seriously, with a sweet smile. She was easy to get along with, and her words were sweet. Most of the passengers on the carriage were rural women, sharp and savvy. Those with sons had already taken a liking to Su Guan, mainly because of her good looks and refined upbringing. She was a delightful presence, and all you could hear on the way were the joyous laughter and conversations of the women.

Su Jing's mood was also good, and when Yue Yue was around, she didn't like to chat with these women, finding them gossipy, so her popularity in the village wasn't very good.

Once they arrived in the county, they went to a restaurant first. The stir-fried mushrooms with wood ear mushrooms were selling well there. Last time, the mushrooms Su Guan brought were sold out in a few days. The restaurant owner thought that if Su Guan didn't come soon, he would have to go to the market. He said, "Waiting for you for a long time. If you didn't come, I would have found someone else!"

Su Guan replied, "How could I not come? I've been keeping track of the time! Is there any reason not to make money? Does the price we agreed on last time still stand, three wen per jin?"

This time, Su Guan estimated that she had around forty jin of mushrooms, and she should have earned quite a bit in the past few days. Three wen per jin, at most, amounted to a small sum.

Having made money, the restaurant owner was naturally easygoing. He nodded with a smile and said, "I'm in the business, and a promise is a promise. Whatever we agreed upon last time still stands. After selling this batch, the freshness will have worn off, so we'll have to wait until next year!"

After the season for pine mushroom passed, they wouldn't continue selling them, focusing on a new sense of freshness.

They called someone to weigh the mushrooms, forty jin at three wen per jin, which amounted to one or two silver taels and twenty qian!

It was less than the last time, but it was still enough, and Su Jing was easily satisfied. She said, "Thank you, sir. May you prosper!"

The restaurant owner praised her, "Little girl, you're quite clever at such a young age. I like doing business with people like you. Next time, if there are fresh mountain goods, you can also bring them over!"

He had started to hold this girl in high regard, seeing that she had a sharp mind.

"Alright!"

Su Guan happily put the silver into her little purse and smiled contentedly.

Su Jing watched her handle these matters with ease, thinking to himself, "Did she really grow up as a sheltered young lady in the Gu family, knowing nothing about the world?" But then he thought again, "Old Master Gu is a businessman himself, so it's only natural for her to learn and adapt."
