Chapter 19: The First Pot of Gold

"Well, the shopkeeper sits down and talks." Lin Zhuyu did it himself first and invited the shopkeeper to say.

"If Childe has something to say, you might as well say it directly." The shopkeeper said kindly as he bent down and sat down.

"Is the fat flour in the store made from chestnut rice flour? Include these? As he spoke, he pointed his finger around the fat powder in the pavilion of this day.

The shopkeeper avoided Lin Zhuyu's topic, did not say yes or deny, but took a sip of tea and said: "It seems that the little boy has a lot of research on fat powder!" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, but have nothing to do." Since he heard that the shopkeeper didn't want to tell him, Lin Zhuyu didn't want to ask again, so he only responded slightly.

There was a little embarrassment in the seat for a while, Lin Bai saw this, and said, "Childe, didn't you say that you want to come and see the high-grade fat powder?" ”

"I wonder if I can taste the new products in the store?" Lin Zhuyu said to the shopkeeper.

"It's nature!" At the same time, he beckoned slightly to the servant on the side, "Take the golden rose fat!".

The little guy was proud, and took out a series of sandalwood carved cloud trays from a black and ebony carved octagonal table in the corner of the house, put on white gauze gloves, and stepped forward to take down a palm-sized golden silk sandalwood box from the fat powder cabinet, which was the golden rose fat powder, and the little guy put the box lightly in the tray with both hands, and then placed the tray on the table in front of Lin Zhiyu.

"Childe, gloves!" The little guy presented a pair of white gauze gloves in both hands.

Lin Zhiyu took the gloves and thought to himself, this box of fat powder can be precious and can be looked like this, is it possible that it will be better than modern cosmetics? Wear gloves and get ready to pick them up and take a closer look.

Lin Bai saw that the little guy cherished this fat powder so much, and he also knew that this was a fine product, so he didn't dare to wait for his own lady to open it.

"Childe, look at this box of fat powder, are you still satisfied?" The shopkeeper naturally feels impeccable about his newly developed golden rose grin.

"Okay." Lin Zhiyu picked up the box with his left hand, the appearance was very exquisite, as if a red and gorgeous flower was painted with gouache, and the small character seal below was engraved with three golden characters of the Agar Pavilion, and the lid of the box had not yet been opened, it exuded bursts of floral fragrance, which seemed to be the fragrance of roses. With his right hand, he made a gesture on the lid of the box, and the wooden box opened.

"Ahem......" Lin Zhuyu turned his head and couldn't help coughing, and at the same time secretly changed his breath.

The fragrance is too strong!

It's still made of rice noodles!

The color is not natural enough!

Just as soon as he opened the box and glanced at it, Lin Zhiyu had these three intuitive feelings.

Why? First of all, as soon as the lid of the box was opened, a pungent fragrance choked Lin Zhuyu and coughed twice, there was no distinction between the top note and the medium and the back note, just the fragrance of blindly smoked people's brain pain, can such a thing be on the face?

In addition, the flour is not delicate enough, and it should not look like chestnut rice. Although it is much better than the boxes brought back by Lin Bai in the post house, the slight protrusion of the powder particles can still be seen from the side of the wooden box! From the perspective of Lin Zhuyu's modern people, the small private workshop of this fat powder is much better than this!

Finally, the color seems to be because of the addition of rose spices, and the purity of the spices is not enough, and there is a slight red silk in the fat powder white, obviously the quality inspection is not good!

Because, in my heart, I don't pay attention to this fat powder that is packed in such a beautiful box. I didn't pay attention to this small box of fat powder in my heart, so I naturally showed Xiàn in my hand, and I saw Lin Zhiyu stretching out his little finger with his right hand with white gauze gloves, and twisted a little fat powder at random, ready to see what kind of rice flour it was made of.

In the eyes of the other three people in the house, the unintentional action was simply an offense to this sacred fat powder, and the shopkeeper couldn't help it first: "Childe, this fat powder..."

"Ah, Childe, you can't sell the fat powder that you touched, and you have to let the boss know that the small job is gone." The little guy was anxious on the side.

"Little..."Sister Lin Bai didn't say anything, and paused urgently, "Little boy, this ......"

"What are you nervous about? I just look at this fat powder, how can I know if it works well without trying it? ”

"Don't worry, it's a big deal, I want this fat powder." Lin Zhiyu saw that the little guy panicked, and comforted him.

The shopkeeper had already put the fat powder on the tray, and said slowly: "I don't know if such a fat powder boy is still satisfied?" "I look very confident in my products.

Lin Zhuyu's left hand gloves were removed, and the fat powder twisted with his little thumb was smeared on the back of his hand, and when he pushed it away, he saw that his skin became more pink and smooth.

The shopkeeper looked at the little boy in front of him with white hands, thin and boneless, not at all like a man's hands, but he didn't say much.

"It's barely usable, except that the fragrance is too choking, the powder is not fine enough, and the color is not natural enough!"

Hearing Lin Zhuyu say this, the shopkeeper's face immediately turned pale, as if he didn't believe that the little boy in front of him would say such a thing.

But after all, he has seen the world and worked as a shopkeeper for decades, and he comes back to his senses quickly: "Listen to the meaning of the little boy, but I have seen a better fat powder than this golden rose fat?" ”

"I've never seen it, but maybe I can try to make a better fat powder than this!" Lin Zhuyu is confident, he has read a related novel, in addition to this chestnut rice powder, the novel also details what lead powder, red and blue powder, jade girl peach blossom powder, etc., it should not be a big problem to take one or two things to use by yourself.

"This ...... Is this boy serious? This golden rose grease was developed by the master of our shop for more than ten years after more than half a year of research. "The shopkeeper seems to have heard something rare, and he can't believe it!

"That childe's fat powder can be sold?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Naturally, it's true, selling is selling, but can you bother the shopkeeper to answer one of my questions!"

Since the shopkeeper heard Lin Zhuyu say that he could make better fat powder, he already worshipped the little boy in front of him as a god, so he naturally said yes again and again.

"Shopkeeper, as far as you know, the fat powder in Jiangnan is made of rice flour?" Lin Zhuyu repeated the previous question, but instead of chestnut rice noodles, he asked rice noodles.

Shopkeeper Zhang naturally heard that Lin Zhuyu didn't need to draw the two sentences before and after, and secretly said in his heart This little boy, no, it's the young lady who is really a god, just a look at the twist to know that the golden rose fat is not made of chestnut rice flour, and he didn't dare to look at the woman in front of him first, and he spoke with more admiration.

"This is natural, don't say Jiangnan, even in the capital, most of the fat powder is made of chestnut rice, and even this golden rose fat method is also the only one in our Agar Pavilion." The shopkeeper is half hazy and does not reveal the golden rose grease practice.

With the words of the shopkeeper, Lin Zhiyu put his mind at ease, he was not afraid that there would be no new things, but he was afraid that he would finally get a new thing out and it would be pirated.

"That's good, I said that the fat powder I made was good for storage, and I don't have to worry about selling it first." Lin Zhuyu is very confident, since this shopkeeper is so rare and this good fat powder, there is no way out if he makes it.

"That boy is going to respond to this good fat powder, and the first one will be on the shelves of my agar pavilion!" The shopkeeper Zhang pulled up the posture of negotiation.

"Childe, the shopkeeper in front of me ...... yesterday" Lin Baishen mysteriously didn't know whether he was talking to the shopkeeper Zhang or Lin Zhuyu.

"Little boy, please rest assured, this money is convenient for our Agar Pavilion and naturally won't be short of Childe!" The shopkeeper seems to be well versed in negotiation.

"Businessmen are profitable, but I am also a loving man, if the Agar Pavilion does not treat me badly, I will also repay the shopkeeper Zhang."

"That's it, the little boy knows the righteousness! I'm going to go back to the boss and try to get a good profit for the little boy. ”

"Then it's decided, I'll be here in three days......" Lin Zhiyu said and got up.

"Little boy, wait a minute, there is no basis for what you say, let's make a note." The shopkeeper said, and at the same time said to the waiting servant: "Pen and ink are waiting." ”

"Good!"

"Three days is fixed, if the fat powder is high-quality, it must be sold in the agar pavilion first, and a deposit of 20 taels will be paid first!" The shopkeeper said, writing on a piece of paper.

"Does the little boy have any objections?"

"Nope!" picked up the pen and signed the word Lin Bai, thinking that this shopkeeper was interesting.

took the 20 taels of deposit offered by the little servant, Lin Zhuyu was happy in his heart, making money is so simple?

"Then it's a deal!" The shopkeeper also got up to send him off.

Out of the Tianju Pavilion, Lin Zhiyu only felt that he was in a sunny mood. "Let's go, go to the pharmacy." I don't know if this pharmacy sells lead powder.

Behind him came the conversation between the shopkeeper and the little guy just now:

"Shopkeeper, that box of golden rose balm ......"

"That's it, take it down, get a new one!"

"That's a tael of silver!" The little guy was very painful.

Stepping out of the vermilion gate of the Agar Pavilion, it was already noon, and the people in the store seemed to have changed several batches, and the woman with the basket was paying at the counter.

"Childe, now go to the pharmacy?"

As if he suddenly thought of something again, Lin Zhiyu touched his stomach and said, "No, eat first!" Do you know what's good to eat around here? ”

"Eh, Childe, I know there is a special noodle restaurant, which is on East Street." Lin Bai didn't know what delicious food was, he used to be a lonely beggar, and he hadn't even eaten a few full meals. The last time I came out to do errands, I ate a meal of noodles at the noodle restaurant, Lin Bai thought it was delicious and not expensive, so the young lady asked if it was delicious, and naturally came out.

"Okay, then eat noodles!" Lin Zhuyu talked about a big business, and he was happy, and jumped all the way to East Street.

"That's what you're talking about?" Looking at the dilapidated door in front of him, it was obviously not on the same level as the tavern next to it.

"Yes, the noodles are delicious!" Lin Bai testified.

"Forget it, Miss is happy today, I'll take you down to the restaurant!" As he spoke, he pointed to the big hotel next door.

"Miss, don't break the bank, right?" Lin Bai, who was used to being poor, felt that it was too wasteful, and refused to step forward in contradiction. I guess I want to pay for the previous year, right?

"Not bad money!" led Lin Bai into the hotel next door.

I don't know that the conversation between the two has already been listened to by all the guests sitting in the private room facing the street in the tavern next door.
