Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 170 Soap and Perfume

Seeing that Gao Jinda's heart had already flown to the county town, Liu Feiyun could only joke, "You, you! Look how anxious you are! Then hurry up and leave! Remember to use the method I told you to open the business, promote it, and sell these goods!"

"I know, I know! Prince, please go back soon. I'll leave first! Come on! Let's go!" Gao Jinda sat on the first carriage first and urged the team to set off quickly!

Liu Feiyun smiled and shook his head, then shouted "Remember to come back in ten days" before returning to the valley.

More than a dozen carriages slowly drove out of the valley and headed towards Anping County.

In Anping County, Gao Jinda, who had disappeared for nearly a month, reappeared. While gathering with his friends, he announced that he was going to open a shop to do business! He hoped that all the dandies present would help build momentum! Naturally, everyone agreed.

In one day, the news that Mr. Gao was going to open a store spread quickly throughout the county, causing many people to be curious and discuss:

"Have you heard? The son of the county lord, Mr. Gao Jinda, is going to open a shop!"

"Is this true? Such an uneducated guy can open a shop and do business?"

"Who said it wasn't true? But! I heard that he didn't open this shop by himself, but it was opened by Prince Liu and him in partnership! The prince didn't want to spend the family's money all the time, so he opened this shop to earn some pocket money for himself!"

"Prince Liu! Which Prince Liu?"

"How many other Liu Shizi can there be in Anping County? Of course, it's the Liu Shizi of the Le Anbo family! According to that tall young master, the goods sold in this new store are the new gadgets that the prince has figured out himself! No one has ever sold or used them before!"

"Really? Then I'll definitely go and see the excitement when it opens tomorrow! I want to see if this tall young master has really changed his personality? What on earth has the prince figured out?"

On this day, a store called Yunliu Commercial House opened in an inconspicuous corner of Anping County.

After a long round of beating of drums and gongs, one of the owners of the business, Mr. Gao Jinda, slowly walked towards them from a distance.

What was strange was that he not only came by himself, but also brought his dozen concubines with him. It was just that for some reason, his concubines came one by one on foot, wearing long skirts that dragged on the ground. Because the shop was a little far from Gao's house, and it was almost noon, under the autumn sun, these gorgeous women had already been sweating profusely after walking all the way here, and their clothes were also stained.

When they arrived at the gate of Yunliu Trading Company, Gao Jinda asked these dozen concubines to line up in a row, and then announced in public that he, Master Gao, would mend his ways from today on and would never do those things that bully men and women again!

As soon as he finished speaking, his friends began to cheer loudly and echoed each other.

But he quickly changed the subject and loudly rebuked his concubines: "You brainless women, don't you know you have to come to support me today? Why do you all make yourselves dirty and smelly? It's really embarrassing for me. Why don't you go to the bathhouse next door and wash yourself?"

As soon as he said this, his concubines blushed with shame and hurriedly ran to the bathhouse next to the Yunliu Trading Company.

"Wait! Are you two going to wash like this? There are no fragrant flower petals for you to use! Take the fragrant soap sent by the prince! One for each of you, go!" Gao Jinda suddenly said. After that, he ordered several maids who followed him to go to the store to get ten small wooden boxes and accompany these concubines into the bathhouse.

For a moment, the people watching the excitement were also surprised and curious, wondering why Gao Jinda did this.

Of course, some smart people also grasped several key points in Gao Jinda's words:

"It was sent by the prince!" "Wonderful fragrant soap!"

After the concubines entered the bathhouse, Gao Jinda seemed to remember something and ordered the remaining dozen or so maids to go and get the concubines' newly bought clothes and their changed dirty clothes.

Before those who were getting new clothes came, the maids who were getting dirty clothes left the bathhouse first. Gao Jinda ordered several large wooden basins to be brought in, and in front of everyone, they washed the dirtiest long dress.

It was not so easy to wash these long skirts quickly, so Gao Jinda, who was impatient, asked three of the maids to fetch some soap to wash them. As expected, the three maids washed the long skirts in the wooden basin in a few strokes, while the rest were still being scrubbed laboriously.

At this point, how could the onlookers not understand that the goods that Yunliu Company was going to sell today were most likely this thing called soap.

As expected, Gao Jinda took the opportunity to promote the various benefits of this soap: how it saves time and effort when washing clothes! How it is good quality and cheap! How it is easy to store and transport! And so on.

Moreover, he announced that those who came to watch the fun could send ten people to take dirty clothes and try it out for themselves. As expected, whoever tried it would find it effective, and there was another round of praise.

"Everyone, you've made the right decision to come and beat me up today! This laundry soap is not expensive, but it's not too cheap either! Today is the grand opening of our store, so I'll give out one thousand pieces for free so that everyone can try! If you think this soap is useful, you can come and buy it tomorrow! Okay!" Gao Jinda said loudly again.

The crowd watching was now excited and burst into applause.

Then, under the command of Gao's servants and county government runners, everyone lined up in several queues and began to receive free soap.

Since each person was limited to one bar, the thousand bars of soap could not be distributed in a short time. Just after half of them were distributed, Gao Jinda's dozen concubines had finished bathing and changing clothes, and walked out of the bathhouse in new clothes and came to the door of Yunliu Commercial House.

The people queuing up in a crowded manner naturally did not dare to block the way and they all made way for a narrow passage.

The woman who was taken away by Gao Jinda to be his concubine was naturally pretty. She looked even more beautiful in her bright new clothes, and naturally attracted more attention from everyone.

However, when those women walked through the crowd, those with sensitive noses were the first to smell the faint fragrance emanating from them.

"Hey! What's that smell!"

"The fragrance here is not as strong and pungent as the scent of the sachet! It smells very natural and comfortable!"

"It's them. It's coming from Master Gao's concubines!"

"Ah! I remember now! Just now, Master Gao mentioned something about the fragrant soap given by the prince. Could it be that this thing made her concubine..."

Suddenly, discussions started again!
