【】Chapter 9 【Part 5】
In 1920, the big city on the river bank:
[As an example of 2-text copper plates, cheap soap, 11≈≈12 copper plates, expensive, 22≈≈24 copper plates. At that time, the currency types were too complicated and they could not be too detailed]
The family income is OK, no problem:
[But for poor people, it is called "luxury goods". Even if the small-degree auxiliary coins are used to fill their stomachs and wash their faces, right?]
Many families also use soap beans and hibiscus leaves to soak in warm water:
[Rice washing water, straw, straw, ash ginseng water. The process of tofu shops produces yellow water, which is also shampooed by the neighbors]
Basically all Gentile tooth powder, expensive:
[For those who are poor in the family, salt water, rice washing water, or even straw ash to brush their teeth. In order to save money, they don’t even buy toothbrushes. For example, if you use your fingers instead, rub them a few times. The best way is to find a long-handled and small-sized bristle brush. Use light force, and one brush for the whole family is enough. In the 21st century, bristle brushes are usually used to brush leather shoes and floors. The most difficult thing is to give up brushing your teeth. Take warm water at will and shabu the mouth]
Gentile tooth powder was dumped in China at that time:
[For low-income people, it is called "luxury goods". Iron box, silver horn 5 corners. Bag, silver horn 2 corners 3. How can poor families be willing to give up?]
There were tooth powder produced in other provinces in China. It was not famous at that time:
【But good quality and low price. Zong Xiaowei's mother took it back to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River through her friends.
A friend who studied abroad taught how to make soap:
[People's guidance and wrote a lot of papers in detail. Then this friend came forward and contacted the lowest price of sodium hydroxide. Until March 1920, the Chinese sodium hydroxide market was still monopolized by Gentile companies]
Oil, sodium hydroxide, Zong Xiaowei's mother made soil soap by herself:
[Very good. The location of the clan family, a big city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Even so, many things are still lacking (sodium hydroxide, commonly known as alkali)]
Zong family's soil soap, and even small animal shape molds:
[At that time, when the children saw animal soap radiating their eyes. Adults liked it very much, it was cheaper than Gentile imports and quickly recognized. The soap workshop was relatively simple and there was no investment in building factories. It was only famous locally and the sales volume was already very considerable]
Zong Xiaowei came this time and got a big cloth pocket:
[It's better to put it in. I made soap and made it into my heart. I also gave me some tooth powder and put it in a beautiful wooden box. My relatives were very moved and I had a long time gurgling]
Wear regular casual clothes and tin pot:
[Get to the entrance of the alley to carry a pot of boiling water. The wooden floor in the pavilion is very annoying to the dampness. The back of the house brings a wooden bench and a brass wash basin. Go to the yard downstairs to wash your face (the yard is in the local dialect ‘pattern’)]
The girl next door saw the young man:
[I have to say that according to the aesthetic standards of the 21st century, Zong Xiaowei is definitely a tough guy. He has been very nutritious since childhood, and is about 1.76 meters tall. During the Republic of China period, he was really tall. He practiced martial arts hard since childhood, and his physique was super strong. His shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, his muscles were bright and bulging. His two thick eyebrows were mighty, his eyes were moderate in size, and his single eyelids. His jaw bone was obvious, so he looked very tough]
Do you remember that I said before, A house:
[The girl next door, from another province, the young family came to Jiangan City]
I can eat at home, and I am very polite to everyone I meet:
【All-body royal blue coarse cloth clothes, white cotton socks, handmade black cloth shoes】
The girl next door saw the young man:
[I have to say that according to the aesthetic standards of the 21st century, Zong Xiaowei is definitely a tough guy. He has been very nutritious since childhood, and is about 1.76 meters tall. During the Republic of China period, he was really tall. He practiced martial arts hard since childhood, and his physique was super strong. His shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, his muscles were bright and bulging. His two thick eyebrows were mighty, his eyes were moderate in size, and his single eyelids. His jaw bone was obvious, so he looked very tough]
In the whole alley, Zong Xiaowei's appearance is absolutely outstanding:
[I am a heroic and unyielding person. When I came over the day before, many neighbors were stunned when they saw it. No matter how I couldn't think of how a rich man would come here]
I don't have the time to explain to anyone, and I don't have the brain at all:
[Several businesses at home: restaurants, soap and soap, local groceries from all over the country. Each neighbor talks about his journey, that's not Zong Xiaowei]
The girl subconsciously touched her ear and smelled the soap:
[I am really envious of rubbing and sweating, and I feel so envious. I want to open my mouth, but my mouth opens slightly, and I can't help but let go of my thoughts. I grab the door frame with my left hand, gently slide my fingertips over the wood, and I can't think of the specific reason. I can't help but feel sad in my heart]
After washing his face, the young man looked at the girl silly:
[I can't figure out the reason for this for a while. I asked: My name is Zong Xiaowei, I am from the building. Do you... do you need help?]
The girl was a little embarrassed. She finally mustered up the courage to smile:
[Pi Soap Lao Xiang...Happy Geze Midao (Jiangan Dacheng dialect. Pi Soap: Soap. Geze: This. Midao: Taste, smell)]
Zong Xiaowei grew up in other provinces, and he had only a few understandings of local dialects:
[I was confused in an instant. I must not reply in a blunt way: I don't know... I understand very much, can you speak slowly?]
The girl laughed and tried to speak Mandarin as much as possible:
[The young man couldn't help laughing, but he realized instantly. He made soap and soap at home, but he didn't feel it when he used it, and he knew the cost very well. Ordinary people could only buy it, but they had no choice but to be cheap and expensive. I heard from my mother that poor families were reluctant to let it go. If you do a cool labor, where can you clean it up]
Just as I was about to reach out and hand it over, I saw the girl's expression of loneliness:
[Reaching your hand immediately. What is this? It shows the girl's family background and is reluctant to buy it. After using it for half a day, it is like leftover food, how can I give it to others?]
But there was no more consideration, just say:
