    "Brother Wanrong, where do you plan to sell it?" Wu Jing asked straightforwardly.

    Chen Wanrong had his own plan for this matter, saying: "I want to go to Ning County first and then try Chang'an."

    Wu Jing shook his head and analyzed it for Chen Wanrong: "Brother Wanrong, with all due respect, I think there is no need to go to Ning County, just go to Chang'an. Based on Brother Wanrong's current situation, the soap should be sold directly  Give it to customers, rather than selling it to businessmen. In a situation like Brother Wanrong¡¯s, do those businessmen still have the right not to lower the price? If that were the case, wouldn¡¯t Brother Wanrong have to work harder and earn less?¡±

    In modern society, it is common for good technology to not be sold at a good price. The reason is that businessmen have money but people who develop technology have no money. They are in urgent need of money and have to sell it at a low price.  Those businessmen can make a lot of money just by changing hands, much more than those who develop technology. What Wu Jing said is really on point. Chen Wanrong admired it from the bottom of his heart and asked for advice:  "Please also ask Mr. Wu to come up with a good idea."

    "Brother Wanrong said something serious. It's just a few opinions for Brother Wanrong to consider. I don't dare to give any good advice." Wu Jing was still so polite and continued: "In my opinion, Brother Wanrong will give you some advice on March 3rd."  If you go to Chang'an to sell it, you will definitely get a good price."

    Isn¡¯t March 3 just a day for spring outing?  What's so special about this?  Chen Wanrong was not familiar enough with the social customs of the Tang Dynasty. He did not know that the Shangsi Festival on March 3 was one of the most important festivals in the Tang Dynasty. In the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, the Shangsi Festival could be postponed but not cancelled.

    I heard Huang Boming high-fiving him and saying, "Brother Wu, you have a brilliant idea. The Shangsi Festival on March 3rd is so lively. There are people both inside and outside Chang'an. There are huge crowds of tourists, high-ranking officials and rich businessmen."  Wealthy businessmen gather here, and if Brother Wanrong's soap appears in Chang'an, it will definitely cause a sensation and become a scene in Chang'an."

    Chen Wanrong had heard about it during the Shangsi Festival, but he didn't know how important it was to the people of the Tang Dynasty. When he heard this, he immediately realized that he had almost missed a good opportunity and regretted it. He was about to thank Wu Jing when Wu Jing had already taken over and said: "  Brother Huang has said it before. On the day of Shangsi Festival, tourists go to the shore of the Weishui River to recite poems, drink wine and sing. It is very lively. But it is not the most lively place. The most lively place is the shore of Qujiang River.

    "Every Shangsi Festival, the banks of Qujiang River are overcrowded. People who have never met each other will meet here. Not only scholars, tourists, wealthy businessmen, and courtiers of the Tang Dynasty will go there, but even the emperor will go. The emperor has decreed that on the night of Shangsi Festival, we will meet each other here.  A banquet was given to the ministers on the bank of Qujiang, and there were hundreds of operas to add to the fun. Therefore, this year's Qujiang Festival is much more lively than before. Brother Wanrong, on the day of Shangsi Festival, go to the bank of Qujiang, rent a shop, and put your soap on it.  It¡¯ll be sold out in less than half a day.¡±

    The Shangsi Festival originated in the pre-Qin Dynasty. On March 3rd, people went to the waterside to pray for blessings, which was called "exorcism".  Chang'an is adjacent to the Weishui River. Every Shangsi Festival, there will be crowds of people on the Weishui River. People rush to pray for blessings and it is very lively.  The Wei River is far away from Chang'an, and its scenery is not as beautiful as the Qujiang River. Therefore, although the Wei River is the main waterway in Chang'an, it is not as attractive as the Qujiang River.

    The reason why Qujiang is called Qujiang is because of the bending of the water flow. It is a place with excellent scenery and is a good place to enjoy the scenery in spring.  During the Kaiyuan period, water from the Yellow Canal was diverted, pavilions, terraces, pavilions and pavilions were built, and roads were built, making Qujiang green with green bamboos, thousands of spring flowers and trees, and blue waves, which is equivalent to a modern "scenic spot".  From the emperor down to ordinary people, everyone visited, and it became a flourishing place.

    Du Fu praised the prosperity of Qujiang on March 3rd in "Beautiful People's Journey", "The weather is new on March 3rd, and there are many beauties by the waterside of Chang'an." Even the sister of Yang Guozhong, who has the most power in the world, came here. You can imagine the excitement here  .

    Although Qujiang is not as beautiful and prosperous as it was during the Kaiyuan period, it is already a place where tourists gather.  Even on normal days, I don¡¯t know how many people come here, let alone on the Shangsi Festival, there is a grand event where the emperor gives a banquet. It is hard to believe the grand scene of Qujiang on the Shangsi Festival unless you have seen it with yourself.

    There are more than tens of millions of wealthy people gathered here. If Chen Wanrong really rents a shop here to sell soap, with Chen Wanrong's shrewdness and modern sales techniques, he will make a lot of money.  It¡¯s not Chen Wanrong anymore.

    "If you have a good product, you have to sell it. If you want to sell it, you have to find a good time and a good location. Wu Jing has taken all these elements of sales into consideration, which makes people convinced!"

    This is a golden idea. Chen Wanrong was very excited. He gave Wu Jing a fist and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your advice. If I didn't listen to Mr. Wu's words, I would have missed this opportunity!"

    Wu Jing responded with a smile and said, "Brother Wanrong, I'm just saying it. Brother Wanrong, you don't have to take it to heart." Wu Jing was a little humble, and then continued: "Brother Wanrong, I think if we can improve in two aspects  If so, the soap will be more popular.¡±

     "Please give me some advice from Mr. Wu." Chen Wanrong knew that a scholar like him would not talk nonsense. He said that if there was a problem, there must be a problem, and he hurriedly asked for advice.

    Picking up a piece of soap and sniffing it at the end of his nose, Wu Jing said: "In my opinion, Brother Wanrong's soap only has a pine scent, which is a bit monotonous. It should have more scents. People are different, and they like different scents.  Different, some people love roses, some like peonies, some like rosin, please think twice, Brother Wanrong."

    This is a serious problem. It¡¯s not that Chen Wanrong didn¡¯t think of it, but he just didn¡¯t have a better solution.  Chen Wanrong knew how to extract perfume from flowers, but it was February, where could he find flowers?  Even if he found it, he didn't have enough time to make it, and rosin was widely available in the market, so Chen Wanrong bought the scent as a last resort.

    If anyone else heard this, he would definitely be dumbfounded. Chen Wanrong reacted quickly. He suddenly thought that a university scholar like Wu Jing might have a solution, so he hurriedly asked for advice: "Mr. Wu, do you have a solution?  "

    "If Brother Wanrong can be trusted, I have several spice preparation methods here for your reference. I'm afraid it won't fall into Brother Wanrong's eyes. Brother Wanrong, please lend me a pen and ink." Wu Jing agreed happily.

    For Chen Wanrong, these words were like providing help in times of need. He couldn't help but said with joy, "Mr. Wu, please wait a moment, I will prepare it for you right now."

    Chen Zairong said, "Brother, I'll go." He rushed into the room as fast as he could, and when he came out, he had a stack of paper, a pen, an inkstone and an ink in his hand.

    After putting the things on the table, Chen Zairong rolled up his sleeves and began to study ink.

    After grinding the ink, Wu Jing held the pen in his hand, filled with thick ink, pressed his left hand on the paper, raised his wrist and waved the brush, and finished it with one swipe.  Putting down his pen, Wu Jing smiled and said, "Brother Wanrong, please take a look."

    Chen Wanrong took a closer look and saw densely written words on the paper, "Plum Blossom Fragrance: seven liang of agarwood, five liang of stacked incense, four liang of chicken tongue, two liang of sandalwood, two liang of musk, six qian of patchouli, and 2 liang of Lingling."  Pound four qian of incense, two qian of armor incense, and a little bit of dipterocarp incense into fine powder, refine and mix well, store it secretly, and use it until it tastes like plum blossoms."

    Two lines later, it is written: "Pistil fragrance: three liang of agarwood, three liang of incense, one liang of sandalwood, one liang of frankincense, half a penny of borneol, one liang of armor incense, one penny of musk, except borneol.  Add 1 penny each of charcoal peel powder, saltpeter, and raw honey, mix well, add heavy soup in a porcelain box and boil for ten times, take it out and let it simmer for seven days, and the taste will develop on its own."

    It turned out to be a spice formula. Looking down, there were nine kinds.  Chen Wanrong thought about adding fragrance, and using spices was the best way under the current conditions.  But I didn¡¯t know the formula. I wanted to make it but couldn¡¯t make it. It was too expensive to buy. It really stumped Chen Wanrong.

    Unexpectedly, Wu Jing actually gave the spice formula to Chen Wanrong without any reservation. Chen Wanrong was overjoyed, his head was burning, and he shouted in his heart, "This is a timely help!" (Remember this book)  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
