Zhu Zhen had long expected everyone's reaction.
In fact, the cost of the twenty pieces of soap in the stall was less than one tael of silver.
Even if they sold it for 100 wen, they could still make a lot of money.
However, there was a saying that a man would not be rich without a windfall, and a horse would not be fat without grass at night.
What's the point of earning one tael or two taels of silver by shouting for half a day?
Since the soap was positioned as a luxury product, it was naturally not based on sales to make money, but on deception.
"Everyone, this is your fault.”
"I'm the only one in the whole world who sells such precious items.”
"Even the imperial consort in the palace doesn't have this kind of soap.”
"How can you call it expensive if it's only sold for one tael of silver?”
"Think again, what is this place?”
"This is the Qinhuai River. There are so many beautiful ladies in the pleasure boat, and there's also that rare beauty.”
"No amount of money can buy a smile from a beauty.”
"If you buy a piece of soap made by a master here and give it to the girls in the pleasure boat, I guarantee that you will be proud of yourself.”
After hearing Zhu Zhen's words, several people dressed in luxurious clothes and merchant attire were tempted.
"Give me a piece."
Finally, one of the fat young masters with a big belly opened his mouth.
"Alright, you have good taste.”
Zhu Zhen took a bar of soap and handed it over.
"Thank you for your patronage. Five taels of silver."
Fatty's face twitched, but he did not take it." I want one tael of silver."”
Obviously, he felt that five taels of silver for a bar of soap was too expensive.
Zhu Zhen sized him up, only to see his soft skin and trembling chin.
In this era, how rich must one be to raise such a fatty?
There was no need to say anything else. He was definitely a fat sheep.
"This young master is handsome and handsome. It's obvious that he's deeply liked by the ladies.”
"The lover of that pleasure boat is also the top lady. Only this soap made from top-grade expensive spices is worthy of you.”
"Otherwise, when the ladies hear that you bought one tael of silver, how embarrassing would that be?”
The fat young master scratched his head and thought that it made sense. He immediately took out five taels of silver and handed it to Zhu Zhen. He took the soap and happily went straight to the pleasure boat.
When doing business, one was afraid of not opening a business. Once it opened, business would come.
"Since Young Master Wang is buying it, let's buy one too. Don't be outdone later.”
"Give me a piece too. I want five taels of silver.”
"I want one piece, one tael of silver."
"I want one too…"
The other rich young masters also bought them.
Even some of the noble ladies who passed by paid for it.
Not long after, Zhu Zhen had more than twenty silver taels in his hands.
This was not a small amount of wealth.
Zhu Zhen's face was filled with joy.
However, the price was indeed a little high. There were many people who were watching the show, but only a few could afford it.
The crowd slowly dispersed.
Zhu Zhen was not in a hurry. There were so many rich people in the capital city, so there would definitely be fat sheep.
At this moment, a tender voice was heard." I want a bar of soap."”
Zhu Zhen took a look and saw that it was a five or six-year-old, very beautiful, and delicate little loli.
"Little girl, do you want to buy soap?"
The little loli pursed her lips." Can't I?”
Since they were all guests, Zhu Zhen naturally welcomed them. He smiled and said,"Of course. Do you want one tael of silver or five taels of silver?”
The little loli suddenly raised her tender white hand, holding a carrot in her hand.
"I don't have money. I'll exchange it with carrots."
Zhu Zhen's smile froze.
Carrot for soap, you really dare to think about it?
Which brat was this? Why did he come here to cause trouble?
At that time, he wanted to give her a roasted chestnut.
"What the hell? You're using a carrot to exchange for a bar of soap that I sell for one tael of silver?”
If not for the little loli's fair and tender appearance, Zhu Zhen would have really attacked!
The little loli leaned closer to Zhu Zhen and waved her little fists."Do you want to change or not? If you don't, I'll tell everyone that you're the sixth prince…"
Zhu Zhen felt his entire body go numb.
"What?"
The little loli puffed up her pink cheeks and said in a childish voice,"One carrot for two pieces of soap…"
Zhu Zhen looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that no one was paying attention to him.
Fortunately, no one heard him.
Seeing that Zhu Zhen did not agree, the little loli spoke again," One carrot for three…"
Zhu Zhen reacted quickly and covered his mouth with his hand.
"I agree. Two yuan it is.”
"I'll change, alright?"
As he spoke, he quickly took two pieces of soap and handed them to the little loli.
Unexpectedly, the little girl pouted again." Five taels of silver for two pieces!”
Hiss!
This little guy really knows his stuff!
Zhu Zhen was afraid that she would expose his identity as a prince, so he could only agree.
He stuffed two pieces of soap into her hands and sent her away as if he was sending her to hell.
"Here you go. Hurry up and leave."
The little loli giggled.
He threw the carrot on the stall and held the soap with both hands as he skipped toward the corner of the street not far away.
There was a carriage waiting there.
When the little loli walked to the front of the carriage, the curtain was lifted, revealing a graceful figure in a light green dress…
Zhu Zhen looked at the carriage as it drove away, his face still in a daze.
After a long time, he came back to his senses.
He thought to himself that he was unlucky. He did not know which acquaintance he had met that actually recognized him.
Moreover, he even extorted two pieces of soap from her.
Who was he going to reason with?
However, Zhu Zhen could not do it.
Because he had sneaked out of the palace, he could not be discovered.
If the prince was discovered to be out of the palace, those censors would report it to the emperor.
Although his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, had always been protective of his children and would not go so far as to kill him, a beating was inevitable.
Moreover, it was not Mr. Ohmoto's board.
It was a big slap on the butt.
After a beating, his skin and flesh were torn apart, and he could not get out of bed for several days.
"I clearly disguised myself. How did I get recognized?”
"Who is this little girl? Who is the figure in the carriage?"
"Since you dare to scheme against me, I'll definitely get back at you later.”
Zhu Zhen muttered hatefully.
He pulled his hat even lower.
He couldn't let anyone else find out about his identity.
It seemed that the next time he sneaked out, he would have to put on some makeup and put on a mustache.
As for this time, it seemed that the people in the carriage had no ill intentions.
Otherwise, she only needed to quietly leak the news to the censor.
There was no need to send a little girl over to extort his soap.
This was equivalent to alerting the enemy.
After figuring out the key point, Zhu Zhen relaxed again.
He began to focus on setting up his stall again and continued to look for fat sheep.
On the other side, in the carriage.
The little loli gently sniffed the soap in her hand, and a pure smile rippled on her tender little face.
"This soap smells so good!"
"Big Sister, you're so smart. You actually thought of a way to exchange a carrot for two pieces of soap.”
"Just now, the Sixth Prince sold it for five taels of silver.”
Beside her, the person called Big Sister was a stunning woman in a light green dress.
