In the Bai family, the knitting shop was open for a few days, and the business was not bad, Sister-in-law Laifu learned some simple bookkeeping methods from Bai Ruozhu, took the account books she kept and showed them to Bai Ruozhu, and handed over the silver received these days.

On the day of the opening, the business was the best, because they were all regular customers, and they basically bought things, like Yu Hongsleeve also ordered a hand warmer, Bai Ruozhu wanted to give it to her, but she didn't agree, saying that favors are favors, and business is business.

After that, some people went to Hua Xiangrong to buy small hats worn by children, and some made them ordered, all of which were Laifu sister-in-law and Wang Caiyue, who were in a hurry, and then Wu Wanqing gave a deposit of ten taels today, all of which added up to two hundred and sixty taels.

The whole family listened to Bai Ruozhu talk about the accounts, and their happy mouths couldn't close, with such an entry, did they still have to worry about not being able to gain a foothold in Beiyu City?

Bai Ruozhu calculated carefully and said: "We have just opened, and it is good if we don't lose money, but we have already covered this month's rent, taxes, and costs, and there is a surplus, which shows that it is already very good, after all, not many people know that we want to spend money." ”

Everyone nodded, but Sister-in-law Laifu said with some worry: "The income is the highest on the opening day, mainly regular customers, but it's not good to count on these regular customers all the time, right?"

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "So I have a task to give to you, let's make a batch of gifts for the New Year's Festival, to highlight the style of our flowers, but also to make the brand effect of flowers, and to give gifts to the New Year. ”

Bai Zepei was reading a book next to him, listening casually, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking: "What is an advertisement?"

"It's just to advertise it widely, and I'm in a hurry to say that it's simplified. Bai Ruozhu secretly stuck out her tongue, she forgot about it as soon as she was happy.

"It's a good idea. After Bai Zepei finished speaking, he continued to read his book.

Bai Ruozhu glared at him, can't he go back to the house and read? Why do you stay here and stare at it?

"Also, there may be a banquet in the month of the New Year, and I will bring my sister-in-law with me at that time, so that you can get to know more customers. Bai Ruozhu turned his head and said to Sister-in-law Laifu.

Sister-in-law Laifu nodded hurriedly, she had followed Bai Ruozhu to see Mrs. Ding before, and she felt that she had learned a lot, and this time she must learn from Ruozhu.

But she was a little nervous, can she do a good job of those ladies' banquets? won't embarrass Ruozhu, right?

"That person invited us, should we also have a banquet?" Lin Ping'er asked after thinking about it.

"Mother, when the time comes, you will purchase more ingredients, there may be a need, it depends on the situation. Bai Ruozhu said.

"Okay, I'll prepare all the ingredients in the next few days. Lin Ping'er nodded and said.

The family discussed what small objects to give away, and finally decided to make a batch of hand warmers, in the middle of the hook out of the flower want to look like the logo, fortunately, the logo is not troublesome, it is a blooming peony flower pattern, but also looks rich.

The Bai family is a character who does what they say, and everyone discussed the color pattern that night, and the fabric lining was also colored, and they began to make it.

Bai Ruozhu was also very happy to see that her family was so motivated, but she didn't hook the hand warmer, but took a pen and ink to sketch and draw.

She drew simple patterns, such as gloves that could be hooked, long scarves around the neck, and even half-sleeves and pants that could be worn over the clothes. Guests can choose different patterns, or decorate the jewels, depending on the needs of the guests.

She plans to make a picture album for customers to see, and will also make some samples for customers to refer to the real thing.

Just when the Bai family was busy for the New Year, a guest came from Anyuan Town, it was Lord Li and his wife.

Lord Li went directly to the side of the house, saying that he asked Mr. Xie, and Mrs. Li looked much better, but her eyes were still a little depressed.

Bai Ruozhu took Mrs. Li's pulse, and then said with a smile: "Most of the poison has been cleared, faster than I imagined, I will prescribe another side medicine, you insist on taking it for half a month and then take a look." ”

Mrs. Li nodded and said to Bai Ruozhu gratefully, "Thank you, otherwise my life would be lost." ”

Master Li also thanked Bai Ruozhu, and then he went to catch up with Bai Zepei, and Mrs. Li quietly glanced at Bai Ruozhu, meaning that she had something to say to Bai Ruozhu alone.

Bai Ruozhu understood and led her to his room.

"White girl, can you help me see what this is?" Mrs. Li saw that the door was closed, and quietly took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, and when she opened it, there were five or six small black pills inside.

The moment Bai Ruozhu opened the cap of the bottle, she smelled that something was wrong, and when she saw the pill, she immediately snatched the cork from Mrs. Li's hand and covered the bottle.

"Where did you get this?" she asked, staring at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was startled and said, "Is there really something wrong with this thing?" I found it from my mother-in-law's house. ”

"You don't want to keep this thing, women can't always smell it, otherwise they won't be able to conceive children, let alone take it. Bai Ruozhu said with a frown.

"What? Is it because I haven't been pregnant in the past few years because of this?" Mrs. Li immediately became nervous and stretched out her hand to Bai Ruozhu, "Doctor Bai, can you help me take a look again to see if I can't have children in the future?"

She said that her eyes were red, and her belly had not moved for several years since she gave birth to her little daughter.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head, "Don't think about it, you haven't taken this pill or inhaled this gas except for the chronic poison in it, I just checked the pulse and paid attention to your situation." As for how many years you haven't been pregnant, it may be a matter of fate. ”

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, that's probably because I'm too careful." She said with a look of shame and said, "What happened last time made me have some scruples, so I put eyeliner in front of my mother-in-law, I know it's not good, but I don't want to put myself in danger anymore, and I don't want my child to lose a mother at a young age." ”

Bai Ruozhu nodded, she could understand Mrs. Li's thoughts, it was good that Mrs. Li didn't seek revenge on her mother-in-law.

"Our yard was cleaned and inspected before, but my mother-in-law didn't check it too carefully after all, and then the maid said that she had a bottle of pills in her house, and she didn't know what it was for, and she didn't see the old lady eat it. I was scared, so I asked the maid to steal some two days ago, because there were a lot of bottles, and I don't think she would notice it. ”

"Have you seen other doctors?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

Mrs. Li hurriedly shook her head, "I didn't dare to find anyone else, in case it was really bad, it would not be good for my lord to spread it." ”
