Don't let it out

"We need to find something smooth and of an attractive shape to make a mold out of. If we make the soap oval-shaped and flower-shaped, it'll look pleasing to the eye, right?" Ye Jiu stroked his chin thoughtfully before adding, "And we should carve some wooden boxes to store the finished soap in. It's only when they look nice that they will be able to move upmarket and catch the eye of the wealthy. Otherwise, with these homely shapes, we could at most sell them for a few coins to farmers like our family. Then we wouldn't even make back our initial investment!"

Ye Gaosheng wanted to say that even selling the soap for a few coins apiece would still be profitable.

But on second thought, his little sister's idea made more sense. Making it more aesthetically appealing could fetch a higher price, and who wouldn't want to do something that could earn money without much extra effort? Especially since their family's finances were still tight.
