Chapter 28: Never Really Part of Your Family?

Su Mu didn't go inside. He was slow to warm up to people and hardly had any conversation with Su Guan on the way. Su Guan had asked him to carry in the goat milk soap, and after completing the task, he went out again.

His second brother was quite cold in nature, probably the most difficult to get along with.

The shopkeeper glanced at the goat milk soaps, which were already packaged. Each package was wrapped in oil paper with various beautiful, simple designs, including pictures of ladies and flowers, very exquisite and pretty.

"Wow, this oil paper folding is really pretty, and the flowers on it are lovely. I can see you put a lot of effort into this!"

Of course, how could she not put effort into earning money? Su Guan thought to herself, feeling the pressure.

"You count them, there are a total of 120 pieces. I'll deliver the remaining 180 pieces in a few days."

"Alright!"

Seeing the careful packaging of the goat milk soap, the shopkeeper agreed and paid the money readily. Fourteen taels and forty coins.

"Now that we've made a deal, I think it's necessary to sign a contract. You can't do business with others, and I'll take all the soap you deliver. How about that?"

The shopkeeper was cautious, not wanting to lose out on the deal. "Okay, you write it!"

Su Guan agreed readily. It was just a contract, and she could read and write.

The contract was written simply and clearly, stating that she couldn't do business with others. After reading, she just needed to press her handprint and sign.

Su Guan's calligraphy was terribly bad, almost painful to the eyes.

The shopkeeper saw her signature, then looked at her appearance and her cleverness, finding it hard to correlate the two.

After taking the silver and leaving, Su Guan quickly went to buy materials. She bought ten jin of pig lard, then went to the grain and oil shop. She saw almond oil, which could also be used for soap making. It doesn't have a strong scent and can be mixed with floral oils to create a variety of colors and fragrances, making real face soaps.

Almond oil is not tasty for cooking, so it's not expensive. It costs only eight coins per jin. She bought five jin, then purchased many dried flowers to grind into powder for coloring.

She just wished she knew where to find fresh flowers to extract floral essence.

Almond oil is odorless and not suitable for cooking, but it's great for making essential oils. The ancient method of steam distillation for extracting flower oils might be hard to master, but she could make infused oils.

Adding some Chinese herbal ingredients beneficial for the skin to the soap would make it even more upscale.

She spent one tael and forty coins in total, leaving thirteen taels. When she delivers the next 180 pieces of goat milk soap, she will have the complete thirty taels.

"Second Brother, look, we will soon have thirty taels, with some to spare. We can go to the carpenter to make more molds of different designs!"

Her smile was brilliant as she proudly showed a bag of silver. Su Mu was infected by her enthusiasm and couldn't help but smile.

All this silver was her effort alone. As her brother, he felt somewhat ashamed for not being able to help much.

"Right, you're amazing!"

Though Su Mu's praise was somewhat perfunctory, Su Guan felt satisfied. Gradually, she thought, she would win the affection of all her family members.

"Out of the way!"
