Chapter 25: The Effect of Soap
Yue Yingying washed her hands according to Su Li’s instructions. After washing them, she did not know if it was a psychological effect or if it was really effective. She really felt that her hands were much smoother.
Su Li smiled and said, “Sister, smell your hand.”
Yue Yingying raised her hand and sniffed under her nose. The fragrance of flowers wafted towards her.
“How fragrant!” Yue Yingying could not help but exclaim.
Su Li explained, “There’s the fragrance of flowers inside. If it’s used for bathing, there’s also the fragrance of flowers on your body. It’s like your own body fragrance.”
Yue Yingying took a closer sniff. The more she smelled it, the more she liked this smell.
At this moment, a woman who was strolling in the shop was bumped by a shop assistant. Her clothes were dirtied by the things in the shop assistant’s hand.
The woman looked down and realized that her clothes were covered in oil. She screamed in anger and pointed at the shop assistant.
“Are you rushing to reincarnate? Your eyes are so big that they can reach the sky. You dirtied my most precious clothes. I think you don’t want to live anymore.”
The shop assistant was shocked when he saw the woman’s clothes. He was so frightened that he kept bowing and apologizing to the woman. “Madam, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose! I was in a hurry just now, so I didn’t see you walk out.”
He was walking well just now, but who knew that the woman would suddenly barge in? The food in his hand was packed from outside, and some soup had spilled on the woman just now.
The woman spat at the shop assistant. “You think it’s over just because you said you didn’t do it on purpose? This is the first time I’m wearing this dress today. Moreover, the meaning of this is different from ordinary clothes. If you can’t wash it clean, it won’t be enough even if you use your life to compensate.”
“To think that your shop is so famous. These workers are useless. They’re worse than beggars on the streets.”
The shop assistant had no temper at all after being scolded. He lowered his head and allowed the woman to scold him.
When Yue Yingying heard the commotion, she walked over. After understanding the situation, although she had scolded the shop assistant a hundred times in her heart, she still had to resolve this matter with a smile.
“Madam, it was the shop assistant’s fault. I apologize to you on his behalf. We’ll give you a 20% discount for all your expenses in the shop today. In addition, we’ll compensate you with a new set of clothes. Don’t be angry.” 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The woman placed her hands on her hips and said, “Who cares about your discounts and tattered clothes? Do you know how precious my clothes are? This is my husband’s birthday gift to me.”
“If you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t bother doing any more business. Just close down.”
She was really unlucky today. Her husband had finally given her a set of clothes. She had wanted to wear it out today to show off, but who knew that it would be dirtied by this blind thing?
From the looks of it, it would be difficult to wash it clean!
The people who were originally shopping in the shop stopped shopping and walked over with gossipy gazes.
There were more and more onlookers. Everyone was watching the commotion. Some people were even making sarcastic remarks at the side.
Yue Yingying frowned. She wasn’t sure if she could clean the stains on the woman’s clothes. If she let the woman continue like this, it would definitely affect their business.
“Madam, let’s talk upstairs. We can discuss anything.” Yue Yingying wanted to invite her upstairs so that she would not disturb the others downstairs.
The woman refused. “Pfft, let’s talk here. Who knows what tricks you’ll use after inviting me upstairs? I don’t want to be harmed by you!”
Yue Yingying explained patiently, “Our Exquisite Pavilion is famous in the vicinity. We definitely won’t make things difficult for anyone for any matter.”
The woman curled her lips in disdain. “In any case, I’m not going up. You guys settle the matter here today. Otherwise, I won’t let the matter go.”
Did she really think that she was stupid? If she went upstairs, she would definitely be at their mercy. At that time, it would be difficult for her to fight against four people with two fists. Who could she defeat?!
Su Li glanced at the woman’s clothes and said to her, “Madam, I don’t think the stains on your clothes are very serious. I have something here that can remove the stains on your clothes.”
“Really?” The woman’s eyes lit up.
This dress meant a lot to her. It would be best if she could wash it clean.
Su Li gave Yue Yingying a look.
Yue Yingying took the hint and said, “I will get someone to prepare new clothes for you. Why don’t you change out of them and let us wash this dirty dress?”
The woman said, “Don’t go anywhere. Just wash it here. If you can’t wash it clean, don’t even think about leaving today.”
Yue Yingying glanced at Su Li and asked for her opinion. After all, she was not sure if this shirt could be washed clean. If Su Li was bragging, it would be difficult!
Su Li nodded and said, “Sure, no problem.”
Actually, it was the same no matter where she washed it. It was just a piece of clothing!
Yue Yingying looked at the onlookers and wanted them to disperse. She even instructed the servants to bring out the new products in the shop to attract people.
However, everyone wanted to watch the show. They had no interest in anything else. They still gathered at the side and waited to see the final outcome.
The clothes were so dirty and usually such stains could not be washed off. They wanted to see how the Exquisite Pavilion handled it. Could it be that they were bluffing?
Yue Yingying wiped the sweat off her forehead. This matter could be big or small, but from the looks of it, if it was not handled well, it would really be a big deal.
Yue Yingying leaned close to Su Li’s ear and asked softly, “How confident are you?”
Su Li turned to look at her and said with a smile, “Sister, don’t worry. The soap in my hand has a very strong decontamination effect, and it won’t hurt the clothes.”
The woman changed her clothes and handed the dirty clothes to Su Li.
Yue Yingying got someone to fetch a basin of water. Su Li took out some soap and rubbed it on the stains.
Everyone’s eyes were on Su Li’s hand.
Seeing that it was about time, Su Li placed the clothes into the water.
“Everyone, take a look. The stains on the clothes are gone. It’s no different from new,” Su Li said.
“My clothes are clean. They’re really clean!” The woman looked at the clean clothes excitedly. The anger on her face was gone.
The onlookers chimed in, “That’s right. If it were any other time, the oil on that dress would definitely not be washed off. I thought that the dress would be scrapped just like that!”
“I saw that girl washing her clothes with something in her hand just now. Did that thing work?”
“It must be. Otherwise, that shirt would definitely not be washed clean.”
“That thing is amazing. I wonder what it is.”
Su Li smiled when she heard the discussion. She held the soap and explained to everyone, “This thing is called soap. It’s very good at removing dirt. If there are dirty clothes, wash them with it. It’s not troublesome at all. I’m sure everyone saw the effect just now.”
