Chapter 25: Start selling paper

These papers turned out to be more expensive than masks, and Zhou was worried that they might not be able to sell them.

"Don't worry, my price is very reasonable, and many people will definitely buy it." Gu Xiaoyou said with confidence, ten cents is equivalent to two yuan, and fifty pieces of toilet paper for two yuan is enough.

Very cheap.

Mrs. Zhou was still a little worried, so Gu Xiaoyou simply taught Ms. Zhou the shouting words she had thought of.

The three of them divided the rest of the toilet paper and then dispersed under the moonlight.

The next day, Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou came to the store early and hung a string of firecrackers at the door.

Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the time on her phone and said to Ms. Zhou, "The auspicious time has come. Sister Zhou, please light the firecrackers."

"Okay." Mrs. Zhou covered her ears with one hand, held an incense stick in the other, and lit the firecrackers.

The crackling of firecrackers sounded, attracting the attention of the neighbors.

When the sound of firecrackers went out, Mrs. Zhou took care of Xiao Youjiao, took a few pieces of toilet paper, waved it at the door and shouted: "This is the softest and most comfortable toilet paper in this dynasty, don't miss it when you pass by..."

The soft toilet paper swayed in the wind. Sure enough, someone came over curiously and asked: "How soft can the softest toilet paper be?"

Zhou quickly took out the sample. Gu Xiaoyou took the sample and introduced it loudly: "This is paper made in our Gu's workshop. We call it toilet paper. Toilet paper can not only be used as toilet paper, but can also replace hand towels.

Wiping the face does not hurt the skin, and can also be used as a substitute for a handkerchief to wipe the mouth and blow the nose, which is convenient and hygienic..."

Gu Xiaoyou spoke vividly, and people passing by the store were gradually attracted, and soon a group of people gathered around him.

Seeing that there were more people, Gu Xiaoyou took out a few pieces of toilet paper and distributed them: "Everyone can touch it and feel the softness of the toilet paper."

People who got the toilet paper tried it one after another and were amazed by the magical touch of the toilet paper. They all exclaimed: "It's so magical. It feels so comfortable in your hands. It's really soft..."

The people at the back heard this and shouted: "Those in front pass the paper around, we want to try it too."

"Don't worry, anyone who comes today can try it."

Mrs. Zhou handed over a few more pieces of paper, and the onlookers touched the toilet paper in twos and threes, and discussed in a low voice: "Why is this paper? It is much softer than straw paper. It must be very comfortable if you go to the latrine."

"Yes, but it shouldn't be cheap. After all, paper is expensive."

“I want to buy it because it’s so expensive. It’s so amazing.”

"Hey, is that Dr. Gu? She said it's good for the skin. I think it's very credible."

"Yes, yes, it's Divine Doctor Gu. Then she must be right. She also invented the previous mask."

"Then let's ask about the price."

They discussed it for a while and asked Gu Xiaoyou: "Doctor Gu, how do you sell this toilet paper?"

Gu Xiaoyou picked up a stack of toilet paper and said loudly: "Fifty pieces for ten cents."

"So expensive?" After hearing this, some people immediately gave up. A stack of papyrus cost only three to five cents, but she actually doubled it.

But seeing such good paper, some county residents didn't care about the price and waved their hands: "Bring me five stacks."

When Zhou saw the business coming, she immediately wrapped it neatly in brown paper and handed him the toilet paper. The county citizen took out fifty cents and left happily with the toilet paper.

After the first one bought it, others started buying it one after another.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer of them, several county residents discussed it, pooled their money, bought one portion, and shared it aside.

Others followed suit, and soon the store was sold out of toilet paper.

Zhou didn't expect that this kind of paper would be so easy to sell, so she secretly pulled Gu Xiaoyou aside: "Xiaoyou, this paper is so easy to sell, do you want to take out the paper and sell it?"

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head: "Let's do this for today."

After finishing her words, she turned around and said to everyone: "Today's toilet paper is all sold out. If you need it, please come back tomorrow."

Although Mrs. Zhou didn't understand the reason, she had already made a lot of money today, so she obediently closed the store door happily and returned to the backyard with Gu Xiaoyou.

The two of them came to the small room in the backyard. Gu Xiaoyou poured all the money received that day on the table, and he and Mr. Zhou counted it in piles.

"One, two... two hundred, five hundred, one thousand, two thousand... two thousand eight hundred and five." Zhou counted it twice and said excitedly to Gu Xiaoyou: "Xiaoyou, we

Today we actually sold it for 2,850 silver coins."

Gu Xiaoyou smiled slightly, her expression very calm. After all, she had seen five hundred taels of gold.

"It's only 2,850 yuan. This is just the beginning." Today she was just testing the waters and waiting for these people to bring her customers. If it was really sold, it would cost more than this.

"What do you mean, this money is enough for ordinary people to live for a month." Zhou said angrily, Xiaoyou is good at everything, but he doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

Gu Xiaoyou stuck out his tongue: "It was really not easy for people in ancient times to make money."

"Of course it's not easy to make money. I used to do embroidery for a month..." Zhou said earnestly, hoping that Gu Xiaoyou would understand how hard it is to make money.

When Gu Xiaoyou saw that Mrs. Zhou was about to talk a lot, she quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Zhou, let's collect the money first and take it to the bank to exchange for silver coins later."

"Okay, let's keep some of it and save the rest..." Mrs. Zhou said nonchalantly and carefully put away the money.

Seeing that the topic was successfully changed, Gu Xiaoyou couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

She helped Mr. Zhou collect the money and deposited the money according to Mr. Zhou's wishes. The bank boss issued a note to them.

Gu Xiaoyou glanced at it and put it in Zhou's hand: "Sister Zhou, you are in charge of the money in our house."

"What's wrong with this? You earned all the money, so I just gave you a little help."

As if receiving a hot potato, Mrs. Zhou put the bill into Hui Xiu Xiaoyou's hand.

"Just keep it. You know the prices of things here better than I do, and you are more considerate than me. I can rest assured if I leave it to you."

Gu Xiaoyou simply stuffed it into Zhou's arms. Zhou couldn't resist her, so she had to put the note close to her body.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of the money." Zhou solemnly promised, her eyes shining with emotion.

She will definitely not betray Xiaoyou's trust and take care of everything for her.

"Sister Zhou, let's have a good meal today. I've been so busy these days that Liang'er hasn't even eaten well."

"Okay, I'll cook today. You can eat whatever you want."

"That's great, I want to eat..."

Gu Xiaoyou named several dishes in one breath. Zhou was very generous this time and bought all the ingredients she mentioned.

The two returned home happily, and Zhou made a table full of meals.
