Chapter 174
Because he is in the county seat, he is the earliest to do the Lin family's business, and the seller next to him always has to get the goods from him, so he can earn a lot of money every moonlight by relying on the soap beans and beauty soap in the second room.
If he does this for a few more years, he will be able to set up a shop with a backyard. When the time comes, I take my mother to live in the shop, and I often think about the old lady at home when I go out.
Li Lang wiped the sweat on his face, and handed the small cloth bag to Lin Baoru with a smile, "Some time ago, there was a seller in our county who went to the next county, so there were more sales." In May, I even took the shipment and sold it to myself, and I took two taels of soap for you, and you counted ......."
In fact, long before Li Shanglang came, Lin Baoru had already gone through this month's accounts. Now it's not as much as it was when the account book was written, but if that's the case, it seems to be a raw matter.
Wang beckoned Li Lang to drink two bowls of mung bean soup, originally thinking that he would leave him for a meal, anyway, there are carpenters working in the yard now, and he is not afraid of outsiders gossiping.
However, Li Lang was reluctant to delay the business, so he took a hundred or so soap cubes and drove the mule cart away.
As soon as he left, the shopkeeper of Liu's shop came.
Of course, Liu Shulai also came over, he didn't come here for any kind of business, but purely to show off. Of course, that's another story.
The shopkeeper of Liu's shop has been coming up for less than two months, and he is from Wujia Village. He's a man who can see things, and in the beginning, he wasn't the shopkeeper. When the former shopkeeper was there, he was just a guy in the shop.
The former shopkeeper was contemptuous of Lin Baoru at that time, and always felt that even if she could make something as a rural village girl, it would not be a good object. Even if Mrs. Liu personally opened her mouth and asked the shop to sell the Lin family's soap blocks, the former shopkeeper didn't care.
even often said, the daughter of the Lin family is definitely not a good one, the picture is to climb up to the young master of the Liu family, so that her things that are not on the table can be sold at a good price in the eyes of rich people.
And those soap cubes and the like that she sent to the shop were all shelved by the former shopkeeper, and even if someone asked, they didn't recommend it.
He is also more clever, every time he encounters the absence of the former shopkeeper, he will study the soap bar, and then recommend it when someone needs it. As he came and went, more people went to him to buy beauty soap.
In the beginning, he just wanted to earn a few more pennies. But how can I think that two months ago, Mrs. Liu suddenly withdrew from the former shopkeeper and handed over the work in the store to him.
Since then, this little man has become the shopkeeper of Wu with those soap blocks.
It's been two months, and he still feels like a dream when he thinks about it.
However, this did not prevent him from seeing Lin Baoru, just like seeing a nobleman.
"This is the account of our store this month about the Lin family's workshop, girl, look, if there is no problem, I will settle the account with you today?"
Lin Baoru looked at the smiling shopkeeper Wu, and hurriedly beckoned people to go to the north room to rest for a while.
Now they haven't moved to the front yard yet, and the east and west wings of the workshop are occupied, so except for Lin Mancang who went to the front yard to watch, the rest of the mothers are all crowded into the north room studio to make do.
Fortunately, it's hot now, and I don't feel cold. In addition, the north is a large house, so it does not seem crowded even if it occupies a few more people.
The Wu shopkeeper of the Liu family's rouge shop didn't dare to take it big, not to mention the best items sold by the rouge shop now, and he had to rely on the Lin family.
Just put aside this layer, just look at the familiar appearance of his eldest young master, and know that he must have a friendship with the Lin family. Besides, the young master of the owner is in front of him, even if he wants to make a pose, he doesn't have the guts.
"Auntie, don't be busy, I'm here to see if it's empty, and I'll have to rush back to inventory in a while." Seeing that the Wang family was going to pour water, the shopkeeper Wu hurriedly called out to her, and then said happily, "Don't tell my aunt that the sister of the Lin family told me that the rose soap we sold in front of us was actually better than the hibiscus soap, and even the rose water that I thought was too expensive before was sought after by the women of all families......"
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh happily, "Guess how much you can get from the rose soap and rose water alone?" ”
When Lin Baoru saw his appearance, she knew that the method of extracting essential oil and adding it to the soap cube this time was indeed much better than simply adding spices before. According to her understanding of the new shopkeeper of the Liu family, if it weren't for the excellent price, he would definitely not be so sold.
The shopkeeper laughed for a while, and when he saw that Lin Baoru and the Wang family had seen it, he simply took out a cloth bag from his arms and spread it on the table, "It's eight taels of silver!" It's a pity that the amount is too small, and yesterday someone from the state city came to ask about the rose soap, saying that it was a piece outside for the price of two taels of silver, and I couldn't buy it......"
As he spoke, he shook his head regretfully, "If we can have more soap cubes like this that can both keep fragrance and nourish the skin, then don't worry that our business can't be an instant hit." ”
As for the original basic soap beans and beauty soaps, for the shopkeeper, now they are just piggybacking on a sale. The real big head is naturally still a beauty soap bar that ordinary people can't afford to use, and it is luxurious enough but can attract all the ladies to buy it.
Lin Baoru thought about it in her heart, now that she can extract rose essential oil and rose hydrosol, it should be no problem to extract seeds and peels with higher essential oil content. In addition, compared to roses, the cost of peels and seeds is lower, especially in the summer when the melons and fruits are abundant. Not to mention, every household doesn't know how much grape seeds to throw away every year.
She had an idea in her heart, and naturally nodded her head in response, "That batch of rose soap and rose water is just an attempt, if it can be sold at a good price, I will naturally be able to supply more categories and more quantities in the future." After a pause, she still smiled a little uneasily, "Of course, it depends on you how to sell to increase our value." "Le
Lin Baoru said this very steadily, not only pointing out her own concerns, but also elevating the shopkeeper of the Liu family.
And the shopkeeper saw that she and the Wang family were focused on business, as if there was no temptation on the table for the eight taels of silver that ordinary people had spent for a few years.
If it was just the two of them, even the two and a half children on the side didn't look half excited when they looked at the silver.
In this way, he nodded in admiration again and again. The shopkeeper also said that the Lin family must have wanted to cling to the Liu family, and they wanted to sell their own things cheaply before they responded to the family matter, but now it seems that the daughter of the Lin family is wronged by her own unobtrusive young master.
With this craftsmanship and bearing, are you worried about the lack of income at home?
Not to mention the side, just say that now there are many shops in the town and county with the state town, and how many shops are asking where the Lin family's soap industry is sacred. Now it is the workshop of his wife Lin family, once it is publicized in the future, there will be fewer people who come to the door to ask for business?
Thinking of this, he felt more and more that his wife was really prescient, and not only decided on this family business in advance. even built a workshop with the Lin family in advance, although it is the name of the Lin family, no matter how prosperous this workshop is in the future, the Liu family can sit and wait for the money.
The more the shopkeeper Wu thought about it, the more he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt.
While answering Lin Baoru's words, he asked the bookkeeper who came with him to take the account book and go out. The two items were reconciled, and seeing that there was no error in the numbers, they signed each of them to settle the accounts for May.
Nowadays, the trading of the workshop is not complicated, so Lin Baoru does not use any special bookkeeping methods like Mr. Bookkeeper. She now just remembers clearly who came to pick up the goods on which day and at what time, or how many soap bars her family went to deliver, in the account book, and when the account is reconciled, it is clear at a glance, and there is no need to worry about it.
But even so, the clear number is enough for the shopkeeper Wu to marvel.
After all, he is studious, and he works in front of the shopkeepers when he is small, so he sees more and learns more, and he is not illiterate. But even so, it is not easy to keep accounts and read the account books.
On weekdays, before he calculates the accounts, he will most likely rely on his own soil method, remember the goods in his heart, and mark them in a marking book every few days. Wait until the end of the month, and then check with the account room so as not to be deceived.
But now, looking at it, the daughter of the Lin family is literate, and she can still remember one by one in such detail, which makes him look down on the Lin family even more.
Not to mention anything else, how can there be anyone in these peasant families who are willing to send their daughters to study and read? is willing to pay, and I am afraid that I can't afford that expense. But at the moment, although the handwriting of the girl of the Lin family is not good-looking, it is clear that she is by no means ordinary.
If the Lin family never invited her husband, but she recognized the words with her studious ideas, it would be even more amazing. With this patience and energy, are you worried that you won't be able to succeed in the future?
At the moment, his attitude towards the second room of the Lin family became more and more respectful.
But later, when he found out that not only Lin Baoru and Wang, but even Cairu and Caihe could help the workshop reconcile accounts, and let the people who came to do business not mention the surprised appearance.
Of course, that's another story.
Wu's shopkeeper is honest.
Originally, Lin Baoru was still thinking that he had only set a preliminary price for his soap bar, as long as the Liu family sold it not lower than his own price. In the end, you can earn a lot of money.
But when she paid the account now, she found that the shopkeeper fried the rose soap for a full tael of silver, which was far higher than her price. But in the accounts, there is no concealment, let alone fraud.
It's not that she worries too much at all, in fact, the shopkeepers of various shops have not less than this kind of supplement their purses.
It's just that the new shopkeeper of the Liu family is different, firstly, he saw that the former shopkeeper was masturbated and fell to the point that he couldn't find a way to be a buddy, so he was naturally afraid that he would take a wrong step and be rejected by the owner, and then end up with the same fate as the previous shopkeeper. Second, now his wife attaches great importance to the rouge shop, and he will personally check the accounts every month, plus the relationship between the Liu family and the Lin family's in-laws, even if he gives him a guts, he will not dare to fool the future young lady.
Lin Baoru smiled and accepted the money, and originally wanted to say a few more polite words to the shopkeeper.
However, Liu Shulai, who was sitting next to him, was impatient, he frowned and glared at the shopkeeper who was still sitting steadily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, let's disperse when it's okay, I still have serious things to say!" ”
When the shopkeeper Wu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly gave his leave.
He didn't have the courage to provoke the young owner, especially the young owner who never played cards according to common sense, maybe he would have to be stabbed a few times if he said something wrong.
In the end, Wu's shopkeeper explained about the next delivery, and bought a good one in front of Lin Baoru, saying that now the rouge and gouache sent by the Lin family have also been placed in the most conspicuous position.
Lin Baoru sent people to the door, and saw that Liu Shulai didn't come with him, so he smiled and went to the broken silver sent by Li Shilang from his sleeve pocket, "Don't dislike the shopkeeper, our business in the future will be long-lasting, and there will be more places for you to worry about when the time comes." I didn't have a chance to tell you before, but in the future, if our Lin family's things are sold by you, the Lin family will collect dividends and give you half of the dividend. I won't give much of the knot in front of me, plus today's eight taels of silver, so I'll give you half a tael first, and I should just go back to add some tea and wine to you and the guys in the shop. ”
