Chapter 75: Ying Yinman's Failed Gift
Ying Zheng began to think that Zhao Yi might have some unique insights in economics, so he planned to find an opportunity to find Zhao Yi to find out more.
In addition, before Luo Yu opened the shop, she consciously presented the first batch of top-quality soap to Ying Zheng, and also presented him the soap-making method.
After using the soap, Ying Zheng thought about Zhao Yi in his heart.
You have this kind of thing but you don't use it for yourself.
If it weren't for Yu Ji, Ying Zheng himself wouldn't know when he would have known about the existence of soap.
This guy is a bit hateful!
……
Sandhill County, 2 p.m.
The Jieyu Pavilion opened by Luo Yu was already crowded with people rushing to buy soap.
Some of them were servants, but there were also many family members of accompanying officials who came to buy in person.
At this time, a very sophisticated carriage passed by, with cavalry leading the way.
The passengers on it were Ying Yinman and Wang Yujia, who had just arrived in Shaqiu County after a long journey.
Since Jieyu Pavilion is located on the only main road in Shaqiu County, it is normal for Ying Yinman and his companions' carriage to pass by here.
In the car, Wang Yujia said worriedly: "Your Highness, it's okay that I didn't go to see my grandfather right away, are you sure you don't want to go and pay your respects to His Majesty first?"
Ying Yinman said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? I know my father's character. He actually hates traditional etiquette the most. So it doesn't matter if you don't go to see him."
"And don't you want to find out who Zhao Yi is in Shaqiu County first?"
Suddenly Ying Yinman heard a noise outside.
So she reached out, opened the curtains and looked.
Ying Yinman saw a long queue in front of a shop called Jieyu Pavilion, and even the wives of several officials she had met were among them.
Ying Yinman hurriedly said, "Yujia, come and take a look. What kind of store is this Jieyu Pavilion that has so many people queuing up?"
Wang Yujia looked out the window as she was told, and then she saw several people she knew.
"It's strange, what does this store sell? It has so many people queuing up." Wang Yujia said a little puzzled.
Ying Yinman suddenly became excited and said, "Yujia, why don't we go down and take a look. If the things inside are good, we can buy some as gifts for father and your grandfather."
Wang Yujia suddenly felt that Her Royal Highness the Princess’s suggestion was not a bad one.
"Okay, but Your Highness, you should still pay attention to your safety," Wang Yujia reminded.
Ying Yinman smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I have you, the granddaughter of Marquis Wucheng, here. Don't tell me you don't know a few tricks."
“I guess I know a little bit.”
So Ying Yinman ordered the servants to move the carriage aside to avoid causing traffic congestion, and then she and Wang Yujia got off the carriage and walked towards Jieyu Pavilion.
Luo Yu, who was now in charge of Jieyu Pavilion, quickly noticed the convoy that had stopped nearby.
She knew from the royal decorations on the car that the person in the car was a member of the royal family.
Then he saw Ying Yinman and Wang Yujia getting off the carriage.
As the leader of the imperial merchants, Luo Yu certainly had the opportunity to meet the Princess of Daqin from afar.
So she immediately recognized Ying Yinman.
Luo Yu was very confused.
Why did Her Royal Highness the Princess come to Shaqiu County instead of Xianyang?
Who is the other girl accompanying them?
However, although he had doubts in his heart, Luo Yu still decided to go out to greet Ying Yinman.
The people queuing outside were a little confused when they saw the boss Luo Yu coming out.
So they looked back and saw the royal carriage parked nearby.
Although they didn't know Ying Yinman and Wang Yujia, they recognized the royal decorations on the car.
No wonder the boss came out to receive people in person.
It turned out to be someone from the royal family.
I can only hope that this royal person will take less, so that I still have some chance to grab some soap. When Luo Yu was about to salute Ying Yinman, Ying Yinman raised her hand to stop him.
"Stop! You don't have to bow. It seems you know who I am. I don't want to reveal my identity. So you can just call me Miss Zhao. What is your name, sir?"
Luo Yu was a little speechless.
Your Highness, you haven't learned how to disguise your identity well. The decorations on the car have already exposed your royal identity.
I'm afraid everyone around you knows that you are a royal family member.
I suggest you go back and learn from His Majesty. He is very good at making incognito visits and his carriage has been modified.
"In reply to Miss Zhao, my name is Luo Yu, and I'm the owner of this Jieyu Pavilion."
Ying Yinman smiled and said, "Okay, Boss Luo. Can you tell me what you sell in your Jieyu Pavilion that so many people are rushing to buy?"
Luo Yu replied, "Ms. Zhao, my small shop, which has just opened for a short time, only sells one thing, and that is soap."
When Ying Yinman heard the word soap, she felt a little confused.
What is this?
I've never heard of the word soap.
"So, Mr. Luo, can you tell me what the soap you are talking about is?"
Luo Yu raised his hand and invited, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Please invite Miss Zhao and this lady to come inside so that you two ladies can experience what soap is for yourself."
"Ok."
Afterwards, Ying Yinman, Wang Yujia and Luo Yu walked into the private room of Jieyu Pavilion.
Luo Yu then took out a very exquisite box and opened it in front of Ying Yinman and the others.
Inside was a bar of the finest soap, into which Luo Yu had added some precious spices.
Ying Yinman looked at the yellow-white soap in the box and asked, "Is this the soap you sell?"
"Yes, it is an item used to cleanse the body. It is also very easy to use."
"You just need to rub it on your hands to make bubbles, then put down the soap and continue rubbing your hands, and finally rinse them with water." Luo Yu introduced.
"It's actually something used to clean the body!" Ying Yinman said in surprise.
Then she picked up the soap and rubbed foam on her hands.
When she was done, she commented, "This soap is really good. I've never felt my hands were so clean.
"
“Who researched this?”
Luo Yu replied: "I'm sorry, because the inventor wants to hide his identity. I can't reveal his identity to Your Highness."
"Oh, then bring me twenty bars of soap. I'll pay for it."
Ying Yinman didn't want to delve into the identity of the inventor. Since the store had just opened not long ago, her father definitely didn't have it.
It can be used as a gift to present to my father.
Luo Yu quickly packed twenty bars of soap and took them to Ying Yinman's car.
Looking at Ying Yinman leaving, Luo Yu was a little puzzled.
Why did Her Royal Highness the Princess have to buy the soap herself? It was clearly available in the palace. However, Luo Yu did not dare to ask too much.
After Ying Yinman and Wang Yujia walked around Shaqiu County for a while, they found nothing else interesting and did not find any information about Zhao Yi.
So the two of them went their separate ways to see their own relatives...
Ying Yinman walked into Ying Zheng's palace carrying soap, ready to present the soap to her father as a gift.
But she found that her father was washing his hands with soap.
"Hmm? Your Majesty, Father, how come you also have soap?"
Ying Zheng replied: "Of course, I will definitely use what Zhao Yi has created."
Ying Yinman was surprised and asked, "Ah?"
