Chapter 136: Door-to-door
Chapter 136: Door-to-door
In August, early in the morning of the first day of the new year, the eight carriages in front of the Lin family were full, covered with rain cloths, and the second kui started and headed towards Qingshui Town.
According to the agreement between Qiu Chen and Huichun Tang, the beginning of the month is the day of delivery, and the healing medicine and Luo Buma made in July will be sent. Although the Lin family now has eight horse-drawn carts, they can't carry a lot of goods, and they will have to be transported for two days one after another. And that's not even counting the soaps that are delivered with production.
Sure enough, Luo Bu Ma and the healing medicine were shipped for two whole days and were not delivered.
On the morning of the third day of the new year, six cars were full of six cars.
It's just that on this day, in addition to the cart that pulled the goods, there was also a van car that was replaced with cowhide.
After more than half a month of rushing production, at the end of July, gardenia soap, rose dew soap, jasmine soap, tea soap, citrus soap, clove soap six different fragrances, different shapes of soap have been sent to Fucheng at the end of the month. Yesterday, the letter brought back by the delivery car to Huichun Hall, Yun Er Gongzi invited Lin Niangzi to go to Fucheng to discuss the layout and sale of soap in the store.
The six trucks stopped when they arrived at Qingshui Town, and only Qingjiang drove the car, carrying Qiu Chen and Qingxing Yufeng, all the way to Fucheng.
Along the way, I only sat down in a tea shop outside Anping County, ate something, and set off again. ”
When Qiu Chen heard this, Qingxing, who had a lively personality, couldn't help but lift a curtain to look out: "Oh, it's really Fucheng...... This city wall is really high, much higher than Anping City! ”
Yufeng couldn't help but burst out laughing, pulled Qingxing, and whispered: "I thought when you were literate, and after a long time, you can see that the city wall is high!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Chen, who was leaning on the cushion and reading a book behind him, Qingxing hurriedly loosened the door curtain, gave Yufeng a grateful look, and sat down at the door of the car with his hands tied.
Qiu Chen had already noticed the small movements of the two girls, but after all, she was not used to enslaving people, and some of the two girls on weekdays were basically diligent and sensible, and they were more lively with Qingxing, and she was generally not restrained, thinking in her heart, after all, she was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and liveliness was her nature!
Just today, she heard Qingxing Maomao's words, and she also saw Yufeng's eyes, but she had no intention of reprimanding and correcting them.
I don't remember where I read such a sentence - what kind of master there is, there is no minion!
Now Qingxing and Yufeng are serving by her side, and her every line and every word is the standard for them to learn to imitate. Her likes and dislikes determine their preferences and judging standards. Some things are not urgent, and they cannot be seen overnight; Rather than teaching, scolding, or even scolding, she believes more in 'teaching by word and deed'.
And she is very confident in this, because she believes in herself, and because she knows that Qingxing and Yufeng are good in nature, and their brains are not stupid!
Seeing the two girls waiting quietly with bated breath, Qiu Chen crooked for a while, and when he saw that he was approaching the city gate, he threw down the book in his hand and sat up slowly: "Get some water, I'll wash my face, and then comb my hair!" ”
Qingxing and Yufeng agreed, Yufeng told Chengzi to stabilize the car across the carriage, and Qingxing took out a small but extremely delicate copper pot from the dark compartment of the carriage. He took the copper pot containing the water, poured a small half basin of water, and held it in front of Qiu Chen with both hands.
With such a condition, I will wash it a little and go to the tired color all the way. Qiu Chen wiped his face, patted a little rose dew, and patted a little homemade rose milk, and the tiredness and sleepiness on his face were swept away because of the car ride. Yufeng also took a comb at this time, combed Qiu Chen's hair again, simply curled it in a bun, and saved a little emerald silver hairpin...... But it looks much better than Qiu Chen's own combed hair. She will also curl her hair at the back of her head, and make a pattern on the top of her head, and she will not be able to do anything.
Yufeng's skillful hand made Qiu Chen very satisfied.
Before Yufeng, she didn't think how ugly her hair was, but after having Yufeng, she simply used Yufeng, a full-time hairdresser, for this hair combing work.
Qing Xing held the jewelry box, looked at Qiu Chen's ears and wrists were bare, then lowered her eyes and began to arrange her clothes, as if she was no longer wearing anything...... Qingxing couldn't hold back, and asked, "Madam, can you choose another bracelet?" ”
Qiu Chen glanced at Qingxing, waved his hand to signal her to put it away, and said with a smile: "Your wife is rich? Expensive? ”
She asked, Qingxing bit her lip and shook her head, and after shaking her head, she wanted to explain: "Madame......"
Qiu Chen raised his hand to stop her, and said, "Since your wife and I are neither rich nor very expensive, even if you change your whole net worth for jewelry, you may not be able to catch up with one of those real daughters, why should we slap a swollen face and become fat, and do such a meaningless thing?" What's more, don't forget, our family hasn't been out yet! ”
The previous call, not to mention Qingxing, even Yufeng was confused, but both of them understood the latter sentence, it was a big mistake to make a mistake in the etiquette rules! The two of them looked abrupt at the same time, got up and knelt down to plead guilty: "Madam, it's the slaves and maids who are wrong!" ”
Qiu Chen frowned with a little headache, waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, I'm just saying a ...... Just remember some of them later! ”
Qingxing Yufeng hurriedly agreed, and only then did she get up after kowtowing, re-packed the basin, mirror box and other things, and hurriedly brushed her slightly messy hair, and the car had already arrived at the door of the Yunlai Inn and stopped.
As soon as Qiu Chen got out of the car, a young man saw it with sharp eyes, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, and at the same time, he did not forget to report to the shopkeeper Cheng Zhishen.
Cheng Zhishen is still the shopkeeper of the Yunlai Inn, but the Yunlai Inn has more than doubled to the side, and now this Yunlai Inn is no longer the original second-class inn, and has surpassed Lao Xiangshun and become the premier inn in Anyang Mansion. Yes, today's Cheng Zhishen can be regarded as having a straight waist and high spirits.
"Lin Niangzi, long time no see, long time no see, please come in, please come in!" As the facilitator of the cooperation between the Lin family and the Gao family, he has naturally been paying close attention to it, and he naturally knows the news that the soap is about to be listed. From this, it is logical to launch the purpose of Lin Niangzi's coming to Fucheng.
"Shopkeeper Cheng is becoming more and more energetic now...... The business is getting more and more prosperous! Qiu Chen also smiled and greeted, "When did this inn expand?" The action is fast enough, and when I come back, there are still some small shops next to it! ”
"Ashamed, ashamed!" Cheng Zhishen arched his hands politely, but the joy on his face did not show the slightest shame.
Qiu Chen was no longer polite to him, and Shi Shiran walked into the inn.
Cheng Zhishen personally led Qiu Chen to the second floor, and still entered the room where Qiu Chen came to live last time.
The general layout of the room has not been moved, and the bedding on the bed has been replaced with a new one. If you look closely, the tea sets and small furnishings on the table are far from being compared with the previous guest room furnishings.
Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Zhishen, who said with a smile: "This is the second master's personal order, and this house will be reserved for Lin Niangzi alone!" No one else ever came in! ”
"Hehe, then I have to say thank you when I see the second son!" Qiu Chen sat down on the drum stool in the room with a smile, and said to Cheng Zhishen, "Trouble the shopkeeper Cheng to send a message to the second son, just say that I have arrived!" ”
"Okay, okay, although Mrs. Lin can rest assured, Xiao Ke will go down and arrange for someone to deliver the letter!" Cheng Zhishen said, and the young man Zhuangzi ran up with a steaming big teapot.
After entering the door, he bowed to Qiu Chen and Cheng Zhishen respectively, then quickly brewed the tea set and made tea, and said to Qiu Chen with a smile: "Madam, did you send you hot water first?" ”
Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, and casually took out a small silver horn from his purse and handed it to Zhuangzi: "Well, if you are busy, just lead my two girls to boil water!" ”
Zhuangzi held the silver and thanked him repeatedly, "Not busy, not busy, now the back kitchen of our inn is not very hot day and night, hot water is convenient, the small one will be sent to you!" ”
Cheng Zhishen scolded with a smile: "I said that you little monkey is so eye-catching today, it turned out to be a reward from Lin Niangzi!" ”
Zhuangzi smiled, bowed his waist, and quickly retreated.
Cheng Zhishen also said goodbye with a smile: "Xiao Ke will go down and arrange for someone to send a letter to the second master, does Lin Niangzi have any other instructions?" ”
Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Trouble the shopkeeper Cheng to arrange two rooms for my girl and the coachman...... Well, it's better for the girl to stay close to me. Cheng Zhishen agreed and retreated.
Soon, Qingxing and Yufeng followed Zhuangzi upstairs, the two of them held Qiu Chen's burden in their hands, holding the makeup box, and Chengzi also moved a small box behind...... Although Qiu Chen only entered the city alone this time, he brought much more luggage than the previous time.
Zhuangzi quickly brought up the hot water and bathtub, and Chengzi also put down his things and let Zhuangzi lead him to his room.
Qiu Chen took a shower by himself, changed his clothes and came out, Qingxing and Yufeng had already cleaned the room inside and out, and the makeup box was also placed on the table.
After she finished washing, Qingxing and Yufeng cleaned up, and went back to their room to wash according to Qiu Chen's instructions.
It was still early, and Qiu Chen didn't have much interest in shopping alone, so he simply went to bed, dragged a pillow over and snuggled up, took a book that Qingxing put on the bedside, and looked slowly.
At two o'clock, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing came together. The three of them came to the newly arranged dining room on the side of the street, sat in groups, and talked about the sale and promotion of soap while eating.
Qiu Chen doesn't have much say in these things, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing are both business pride, more than her, a major engaged in scientific research. It's just that in the storage of some goods, Qiu Chen made one or two small suggestions, the soap has a strong taste, and try to avoid things that are easy to smell, such as grain, such as tea......
Yun Jichen nodded: "I wrote this down, and Ming'er will pass it on...... Also, Ming'er Lin Niangzi still went to take a look and see if there was anything wrong! ”
Qiu Chen nodded, and made another small suggestion: "The last batch of goods I sent is a batch of small samples, which are specially used for promotion. But it doesn't have to be in the soap shop where we sell...... Even if you are in this inn restaurant, you can put some, and if you eat more than how much, you can get a small sample of soap. Also, you can also put a piece on the basin rack of the Yunjia Inn Restaurant, and the guests feel that it is easy to use, so they may go to the shop to buy a piece of ......."
Yun Jichen smiled and said, "These two are good, but we don't need the second one yet." We don't expect ordinary people to buy this batch of soaps, they just do the business of rich and noble families......"
Qiu Chen frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but Liao Wenqing comforted beside him: "Don't worry, in fact, this batch of soap has already been ordered out, and there is still one for sale at this time, but it is just to attract popularity." ”
Yun Jichen also laughed and said: "Yes, don't worry, don't say that you make so little, even if you increase it by five times, you won't accumulate goods!" ”
After that, the three of them ended the topic of soap sales and turned to him.
As he spoke, Yun Jichen said, "...... The Qin general was seriously injured, and it is said that he did not recover for a month, and he often fell asleep...... However, fortunately, this Qin general is in good health, and the emperor has decreed that the use of the Tai Hospital should be supported from the palace...... to survive until now......"
Qiu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, and secretly sighed that it was a pity, and he didn't take it to heart.
As the saying goes, if the crockpot does not leave the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. Since he became a soldier and fought before the battle of a general, he should naturally have the consciousness of the horse leather shroud...... If you die on this, you will more or less deserve it!
Yun Jichen continued: "...... In this battle, the list of rewards for meritorious deeds also came out, and General Qin needless to say, he was crowned a marquis and named 'Marquis of Jingbei'. There are also many rewarders for soldiers at other levels. It turned out that Hong Zhanpeng, who was under the account of the general, was temporarily in charge of the northern garrison, and the other meritorious soldiers ranged from the second to the fifth rank! ”
Qiu Chen didn't care about these, and she was relieved to hear that it was Hong Zhanpeng who temporarily replaced Qin Zheng. The original healing medicine was set by Qin Zheng and Hong Zhanpeng together, and Hong Zhanpeng succeeded Qin Zheng, so it should not affect the business of the Lin family and the Rejuvenation Hall.
Lala said a lot, and the three of them ate for nearly an hour before they withdrew the meal, Qiu Chen went back to the room, and Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing said goodbye and left.
On the second day, Qiu Chen went to a fat powder shop selling soap at the request, and saw that a soap box had been placed in the most conspicuous position on the counter. Compared with the relatively rough and simple packaging of products in this period, this exquisite and distinctive soap is still very eye-catching.
Qiu Chen didn't use Yun Jichen to accompany him, and took the two girls to stay in the fat powder shop for more than two quarters of an hour, picking up a few boxes of good rouge gouache, and just after a while, there were already several groups of guests asking about soap, and the guys in the shop took the trouble to take the samples and introduce them in detail, but they didn't want to buy it. Now this thing is in short supply, and I can only wait for the advance payment of silver. When the goods arrive, they can be numbered before they can be handed down.
Qiu Chen took a look at it, and came out of the fat powder shop with complete confidence. This is all in time for modern real estate developers to sell pre-sale, and there is nothing unpopular in this business! She doesn't have to worry about this sales, just go home and recruit workers to expand production.
Coming out of the fat powder shop, Qiu Chen took Qingxing Yufeng and Qingjiang to walk around in Anyang Mansion for a day, bought some things that were not available in Anping County, and had a meal with Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing in the evening, and simply handed over the packaging to Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing to be responsible.
Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing didn't pay much attention to these little things, as long as Qiu Chen drew the packaging design drawings of Lu, the rest of the purchase and customization and other things, naturally the two of them were in charge to do it, and they didn't have to worry about it too much.
The next day, Qiu Chen went back in a hurry.
At this time, she wondered if Yun Jichen thought that her production was too small, so he specially pulled her to see the sales situation, so she protested to her euphemistically.
Along the way, Qiu Chen didn't think about anything else, just thinking about how to recruit workers and expand the production of soap when she went home, but what she didn't expect was that she threw trivial things such as packaging to Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing in order to expand production, but many things suddenly appeared at home, which caught her off guard.
Unlike going to Fucheng, where he had no worries, Qiu Chen was in a hurry to go home at this time, and the speed on the road was much faster. Before the end, the carriage stepped back to Liujiaao, and when it stopped at the door of Lin's house, it was still lively outside the gate, and Luo Buma was naturally not able to go before it was sold, and some people who had finished selling it had not yet left, so they gathered outside the gate of Lin's house to talk and laugh, and there was a lot of noise.
As soon as the Lin family's carriage stopped at the door, Qingxing and Yufeng jumped out of the carriage first, and Qiu Chen then stepped on a stool and got out of the car.
As soon as she got out of the car, the people over there began to greet and talk to her, and Qiu Chen also smiled and responded one by one......
was in chaos, Junzi hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and saluted: "Madam, a group of people came to the house yesterday, saying that it was the old lady, the old aunt and the fifth lady......"
Qiu Chen was a little confused when she heard it, if Shunzi was talking about the old lady alone, she might still think that it was the Liu family who came back. But what kind of old aunt and grandmother, Fifth Miss, the Yang family doesn't have these people!
Frowning slightly, Qiu Chen asked, "Where did you come from?" Who recognized it? What about people today? ”
Shunzi looked up at Qiu Chen's face, and hurriedly lowered his head again and whispered, "You said you came from the north...... The old woman brought the seal...... The second master recognized it, and the person ...... The second master ordered and placed it in the east wing of the backyard. ”
Lin Xu and Junwen were all placed in the front yard, and since the Liu family left, there were only the three of them and Qingxing Yufeng in the backyard, but now Hulala has placed so many unknown people at once...... Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, frowned tightly, tried to adjust his emotions again, calmed down a bit, and then asked, "What about your second master?" Who's waiting in the backyard at this time? ”
"The second master went to the school, and at this moment, the Daxing family, the Qingjiang family and our family are all waiting in the backyard!" Junko replied one by one.
Qiu Chen took a deep breath, tried to calm his emotions, and waved his hand: "You are staring here, as soon as the second master comes back, you will let him go to the East Cross Courtyard to find me!" ”
------Off topic------
I made a mistake, Chengzi was in charge of making soap, and I couldn't leave home, so I changed it......
