Chapter 233
At the end of August, because of the proximity to the temple fair, all shops wanted to take this opportunity to get a good time. So before the settlement was settled, they first rushed to order a lot of beauty soaps and beauty soaps from the Lin family's workshop.
Now who doesn't know, this thing is scarce, regardless of whether it is to go to the family or to support the façade, it is excellent.
Therefore, all the shopkeepers with some brains know that whoever hoards more goods at this time will be able to win.
Because of the fear that the Lin family's workshop would not be able to supply goods, Liulin Town and even nearby merchants and sellers have increased the number of purchases. This made the number of orders for the workshop suddenly doubled.
Even if the workshop is working day and night, the soap blocks and beauty soaps produced, as well as some rouge gouaches, are a little unable to catch up with the orders of various shops.
There is even a shopkeeper who knows that the items in the workshop are in short supply, and he sends his guy to wait in front of the second room in Taoxi Village early every morning, thinking about getting more goods than others.
Taoxi Village, which has not been lively for a long time, is now more lively than when all relatives walked around during the New Year.
Because of the large number of people who came, there were also many sellers from all over the country, so that some daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law in the village made more small objects and embroidered objects.
It wasn't until the beginning of September that the workshop, which had been busy for a while, was a little more relaxed. But Rao is busy like this, and Aunt Lu is still happy to work in the workshop.
As for outsiders, even if they say cool words, it is difficult to hide the envy in the sour words. After all, everyone knows that the second room has a few people's food and drink these days, and I heard that when the second year of junior high school was too busy, the Wang family also wrapped a big red seal for the people in the workshop.
No, in the market of Liulin Town on the seventh day of the first month, those families who worked in the Lin family's workshop, every family cut meat and bought wine. At a glance, there is really a surplus in his hand, you know, in the past years, who was willing to suffer such a fee.
The days passed very quickly, because the previous businesses were very smooth, and the Lin family specialized in supplying the Liu family's shop with the blessing of beauty soap and soap, so after Lin Baoru accepted the Liu family's industry, she was quite handy.
Of course, Lin Baoru didn't forget to buy the mountain. Before entering September, Lin Lizheng brought a letter, saying that the price of the mountain in front of the village could be said to be 240 taels.
It just so happened that Lin Baoru also inquired, and in the past, there were rich and noble families who bought fields and mountains with good feng shui, and most of them cost four or five hundred taels of silver. Now it is a barren mountain, and there are few people who ask, so the price is directly halved.
In this way, Lin Baoru felt that the two hundred and forty taels of silver in the front mountain was also cost-effective. As she said, even if the afforestation is not successful in the end, at least the place is still its own.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if she saves enough silver in the future, it is not impossible to build a Zhuangzi. After all, she looked at the Zhuangzi raised by the Liu family everywhere with stable income, but she was envious.
Therefore, as soon as it was September, she took Liu Shulai and followed her back to the village, and then asked Lin Lizheng to go to the yamen to sign the paperwork of buying the mountain together. Since then, she can be regarded as a person with private property in her name.
Although this is not private property, according to the laws of this dynasty, if you reconcile and leave in the future, these properties need to be decided by the husband's family to keep.
For this point, Lin Baoru really feels that the egg hurts, even if it is said that because it is purchased after marriage, it is better to share it equally with the divorced husband and wife.
But she didn't dwell on this for too long. After all, to buy a mountain, Liu Shulai paid back two hundred taels of silver. Even if he didn't care about it at all.
Now Lin Baoru's life is not uncomfortable, and Mrs. Liu does not restrain her very much. And since she handed over the seal to Lin Baoru, she really doesn't interfere in everything, every day is to drink tea and listen to the play, or have a small gathering with the lady next to her.
Fortunately, Lin Baoru is also competitive, and she has the Lin family's workshop to rely on, but she didn't let people pick out too many unpleasant words.
As for her background, although some people say, they can't stand Mrs. Liu's shortcomings. After a few rounds, who will look for mold. Besides, when these women get together, which one doesn't compare? And now, what they love to compare the most, in addition to those jewelry heads, is not Lin's unique soap block and various skin care makeup!
As for Liu Bai's and Li's, Xu lost face before, so no one came to her to look for her trouble in the past two days.
But even so, Lin Baoru didn't feel that the second uncle and the third uncle of the Liu family, who had been cut off from their thoughts, would really accept their fate in peace.
After all, judging from the description of those people by their mother-in-law and Liu Shulai, they are by no means the kind of people who can be easily dismissed.
It's just that before a few uncles came to the door to find faults, the shops in Liulin Town exploded again because of a piece of news - by the way, the grocery store also researched soap beans and beauty soap, and the price was lower than that of the Lin family's workshop and Liu's shop......
As soon as the soap beans and soap bars in the grocery store were put on the market, they were sold out. As for some beauty soaps, they are in short supply because the price is half lower.
Many people say that the beauty soap that comes along is no different from the Lin family's workshop. Whether it is washing hands and faces, or washing clothes and hair, they are very stain-free and fragrant.
As a result, sellers from ten miles and eight towns flocked directly. And the Lin family's workshop was directly deserted in less than three days, that is, those shops that were said to be good with the Lin family's workshop in the past have turned to the Shunlai grocery store. Peerless Tang Gate fo
Now, only Liu's shop and Li Xianglang, as well as several shops of the Chen family, still insist on ordering from Taoxi Village. The rest either turned their heads directly to the grocery store to buy goods, or they were still waiting to see the situation.
In the past, the laundry that cooperated with the Lin family's workshop was very harmonious, but in order to save money, it also abandoned the Lin family's workshop. It's like when they went to the grocery store to make trouble, it never happened.
In this way, just entering September, the Lin family's workshop, which was lively in the past, was completely cut off by seven or eight points.
If it's just like this, a few shops that have hoarded a lot of beauty soap and beauty soap for the temple fair, come to the door every day to make a fuss about returning the goods, or let the Wang family make up the difference.
At the beginning, Wang was still biting his bite and not letting go. It's just that later, the shopkeepers of several shops directly asked their mother-in-law to come to complain, crying and begging, and the Wang family said that he was a little soft-hearted.
It doesn't matter if Wang's relent, there will be many shops and sellers who will come to the door in the next day. It can be said that now outside the second room and workshop of the Lin family, except for those who are spoofing, they are crying and begging, which directly forces Wang Niang to dare not open several doors.
Lin Baoru, who got the news, did not panic at all. It wasn't until she heard a letter from her mother, saying that there were so many people who went to the door every day to return goods and make trouble, that she explained to Mrs. Liu and went back to Taoxi Village.
Mrs. Liu, who was not flustered at all and was still in order, made Mrs. Liu, who was a little anxious and even ready to sell a few private properties to fill the holes, was inexplicably relieved.
Knowing that his own black heart lotus met a big. The troublesome Liu Shulai has provoked a lot of talk in the past few days. Somehow, Liu Shulai, who was even said by many to be a prodigal son, was soaked in various gambling houses and cockfighting rings for seven or eight days in a row.
Not to mention helping Lin Baoru, it was simply not even face-to-face, which made many people start to wait to see the joke again.
In just a few days, all kinds of rumors about the young master of the Liu family outside have spread again.
In the end, Zhang Xunsheng and Chen Rong couldn't stand it anymore, and they rushed their brother home several times. However, Liu Shulai didn't listen to it, and still dragged the two of them to Hulai.
However, Lin Baoru saw that he didn't make any trouble, so he didn't care about it. It's just that the little goodwill that was born because of the tacit understanding between the two of them before has slowly dissipated at this time.
Although she didn't plan to rely on Liu Shulai, she never thought that after he encountered something, he would not care at all, and still only cares about playing.
But on the day she returned to Taoxi Village, Liu Shulai did not leave early in the morning for the first time. But the dead beggar had to go back with him, and he didn't look like he had a few days ago.
Lin Baoru was worried about the affairs at home, and she was not in the mood to make trouble with him, so she just let people follow the carriage with a cold face.
Probably as soon as he saw Liu Shulai, he remembered what he had done in the past few days, which made Lin Baoru feel more and more blocked.
In the end, she just turned her head and looked through the accounts of her workshop, thinking about how to take advantage of this incident to directly push the Lin family's workshop to a new height.
Liu Shulai climbed into the carriage in a hurry, "Oh, it can be regarded as a day of peace, I almost didn't tire Lao Tzu out a few days ago." ”
As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of water, and looked at the hot water, and he felt a little happy in his heart.
Since Hei Xinlian knew that she was going to see sweet, she would prepare some sweet water in the carriage every time she went out.
Liu Shulai has not drunk sweet water, but he always feels that the black heart lotus is better than others, although it is sweet, it is not bad in the throat.
He thought as he picked up the teacup and poured a large sip into his mouth. But before he could show a pleasant expression, his eyes widened in horror, and then he squirted out of the water as if he was frightened.
"It's too bitter...... Liu Shulai frowned tightly, and he hurriedly wanted to find a snack to taste bitter.
Fortunately, on weekdays, he likes to let people prepare some snacks and dried fruits on the carriage, which is just right for now.
Lin Baoru glanced at him expressionlessly, and then turned his gaze to the ledger in his hand, "I've been angry lately, so I changed the water to Coptis water, you don't have an opinion!" ”
At this moment, even if Liu Shulai no longer has emotional intelligence, he can still hear the awkwardness and depression in his black heart lotus's tone.
"Not happy?" Liu Shulai was stunned, and while eating preserved fruits to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth, he said vaguely, "Don't be upset, how can anyone who opens a workshop and a shop make sure that he doesn't lose money!" ”
Lin Baoru glared at him angrily and didn't say anything.
There are profits and losses in business, she naturally knows, and from the day she opened the workshop, she never expected to be able to really make a unique one.
