Chapter 155
The remaining Cairu and Caihe Xiaoshan are three small ones, who can do their work but can't be the masters.
And the one who works in front of the family is still having a good afternoon dinner, and he can't leave someone who can take charge of things.
So after discussing, Lin Baoru stayed at home by herself. As for the few Cairu, they naturally followed the Wang family, which was considered to be a lively one.
If it had been placed in the past, Xu is Wang would have been a little worried.
But now that they are living a smooth life, their own Baoru is an assertive person who is not afraid of others, plus there is Xiao Hei at home, and there are many villagers who work, and the Wang family is not afraid of the bad luck of someone coming to find their own family.
Of course, some of the people she was thinking about were not the old mansion that she didn't dare to make trouble more and more!
But she didn't know that the old mansion that was now silent was Ansheng, but Lin Chengcai, the second nephew who gave birth to her man, was still thinking about things in the dark like bedbugs.
Lin Chengcai is now living a ghost because of the debts owed by those prostitutes and gambling, and the only person he can think of who can help him turn over is probably the young master of the Liu family.
Now he feels that the young master of the Liu family looks down on his cousin, and he has heard too much about the young master of the Liu family who is rumored to be drunk in the restaurant every once in a while. Lou Painting Boat. He felt more and more that the speculation of others was good, the young master of the Liu family must have been disgusted with his cousin at the beginning, otherwise how could he not give the Lin family face like that?
not only found trouble at the door of the Lin family, but even in front of his grandmother Liu, he could make a big fuss and faint to death.
If the young master of the Liu family really wanted to marry the Lin family, how could he be so stingy?
After thinking about it, he felt that the only way to please the young master of the Liu family was probably to help him solve his cousin.
To tell the truth, now he looks at the blue brick house built by the second room of the Lin family from a distance, and he is going crazy. Those things should have been his, if it weren't for the second room and the family, wouldn't these things be in the hands of the old mansion now?
Lin Youcheng secretly wiped his face, feeling resentful and jealous in his heart. He resented that the second room was unsympathetic, and only cared about building a house by himself to live a good life, and he was unwilling to pull him.
is even more jealous of the second room, which should be poor and hungry, and one day becomes the proud person of the village. In the past, it was clear that their big house was enviable, three brothers, the eldest brother had to study to test his fame, although he was not promising, he could not worry about food and clothing, but the third brother was young but his grandmother's heart and liver.
At that time, the second room mother was in front of them, let alone talking, but they didn't even dare to let go of a fart. But whenever he does something wrong or gets into trouble, just blame it on his cousin, anyway, it will never be himself who will be punished in the end.
But in the blink of an eye, the world was turned upside down, and his good life was gone.
Lin Youcheng gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and in a trance remembered the fortune teller he met when he was just down. That fortune teller is really a god, and he counts his business eight. Nine is not far from ten, and even calculated that he has an uncle and cousin who is the obstacle of their family.
said that the roadblock can devour the road, he should have been a craftsman, and he will open a shop as the owner in the future, which is not good. partially, that bit of good luck was swallowed up by the roadblock, which made him more and more depressed, and the roadblock became more and more fat.
Now that I think about it, isn't it his weird cousin?
Since beating his cousin for being sick, he has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and he always makes his grandmother and mother deflated......
The more Lin Youcheng thought about it, the more unbalanced his heart became.
Those good days should have been his. The blue brick house, as well as the workshop and shop, should all be his.
At this time, Lin Youcheng secretly wondered how to deal with the roadblock unknowingly, and a man with thief eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes in Chunxiang Building in the town nodded and said this to a young man with a blue face and a pale face under his eyes.
"Young Master Zhao, that's done, I watched Lin Youcheng go to Taoxi Village with my own eyes......"
A man wrapped in tattered clothes at the bottom also grinned and said, "Yes, yes, before he returned to the village, he asked me to wait for the letter, saying that there was a good thing!" ”
If Lin Youcheng was there, he could probably see at a glance that these two people with obvious malice were the gentleman who told him fortunes, and the other was a middle-aged beggar who was begging with him every day.
Zhao Li covered his nose and glanced at the kneeling beggar on the ground with disgust, and threw a broken piece of silver over with a disgusted face, "Since there is something good, you just wait." After a pause, he said again, "It doesn't matter if you are a master next to you, you have to have the ability, and going to Taoxi Village to be a son-in-law is also a creation." But the spicy girl of the Lin family has a grudge against Lao Tzu......"
The beggar got the word and kowtowed again and again. As for the meaning of Young Master Zhao's words, although he didn't understand everything, he could understand some of them.
Lin Baoru didn't know that Lin Youcheng, who had disappeared for a long time, was actually coaxed into having such thoughts.
Now she is concentrating on drawing all the tools she needs in her workshop. Copper pots, casseroles, all kinds of porcelain that can be used for distillation, and hand stoves, she gritted her teeth and bought them all.
Now in the small workshop, except for the three rooms where they live temporarily, the rest of the place has long been played by her and the Wang family.
Of course, because there are many people nowadays, she still hides many things, so she doesn't reveal any letters.
In addition to the placement of the workshop, Lin Baoru also used the soap horn sent by Mrs. Liu to make a lot of pearl soap and peach blossom powder soap with spices and skin Chinese medicine.
After Zhang Luo had an early meal with the big guy and sent away a few people from the Wang family who rushed to the market, Lin Baoru picked up the pickup, inserted the door of the workshop and went to the drying room in the West House.
She looked at the rice noodles that she had dried, and thought that Li Xianglang said that the gouache had sold very well before, so she simply soaked a small pot of rice. If it's hot today, the rice soaked to make foundation will be sour in just two days, and if it's too much, I'm afraid she and the Wang family won't be able to make it.
After soaking the rice, she carefully rubbed the soap blocks that had been dried and dried, and saw that it was almost there, before putting them into the white porcelain boxes prepared in advance. 000 Literature
She looked at the white porcelain boxes sealed with Lin's imprint paper, and squinted her eyes with satisfaction. To tell the truth, now she looks at these objects, just like seeing white flowers, if they are sent to Liu's shop and sold smoothly, they can produce more than a dozen taels of silver by the end of the month.
After removing the capital to be calculated for Mrs. Liu, she can also share three or four taels of the remaining profits.
After the affairs of the West House were busy, Lin Baoru went to the East House to boil soap. After she boiled the last handful of honey locusts into the pot, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Now is not the season for the honey locusts to grow, even if Mrs. Liu asked people to collect some of the last year's savings, but in the end it is limited, if you can't find it today, I'm afraid that the method of boiling soap base with soap meat will have to wait until October to continue to use.
To be honest, the amount they produce now is not large, but it is precisely because the supply exceeds the demand, which makes her improved beauty soap and soap beans more and more sought after.
It is also Mrs. Liu who makes people find a small gathering of ladies and ladies from various families, and she will hype up a beauty soap that can "have a face like snow for ten days, and skin like clotted fat for twenty days". even intentionally or unintentionally revealed the reason why he was more and more radiant, that is, he used the beauty soap produced by the Lin family in Taoxi Village.
Regardless of whether Mrs. Liu's skin is really to the point of condensing fat, at least after a few small gatherings, the reputation of the Lin family's beauty soap has spread through the mouths of the ladies and girls of various households.
In recent days, Lin Baoru has added atractylodes, cloves and sandalwood incense and other spices and traditional Chinese medicine powder beauty soap, which has directly become a hard-to-find existence.
And ordinary people can't afford to buy more and more expensive beauty soap, but soap beans that can not only remove stains but also clean the dirt/filth on the body have become fragrant and sweet.
Even when the business was at its most prosperous, soap beans almost became the testimony of those top-notch mothers-in-law and women who proved that their lives were good. Evenly, a few pieces of soap beans or beauty soap will be added to the marriage of the married daughter, in order to show the importance and distress of the mother's daughter.
Nowadays, in addition to the grocery store by the way, almost all the other grocery stores and sellers who have dealings with Lin Baoru have got the sweetness, and they are even more interested in selling soap beans and beauty soap.
As for the shopkeeper Sun who came to the grocery store, it is not that he has not looked for Lin Baoru again.
It's a pity that they have repeatedly resorted to means in front of them, so that a few mouthfuls in the second room have no good impression of them.
After coming and going, Shopkeeper Sun also saw the meaning of the second room of the Lin family, so even if he saw that other people's businesses were more prosperous with soap beans and beauty soaps, it would be difficult for him to come to the door again.
The current shopkeeper Sun is simply repentant, and his intestines are green, you must know that he was the first to do business with the second room of the Lin family, but he.
If he didn't have a ghost mind at the beginning, then what a situation in the shop should be now! Even if he can't compare to the Liu family, at least he won't be compared to the shop next to him.
Although at the beginning, it was Mr. Dongjia who thought about it and made him refuse to communicate with the Lin family. But now the reputation and reputation of the grocery store have gone downhill, and even the business has fallen by 30% in previous years, but when the owner mentions it, he will only be blamed.
Shopkeeper Sun was annoyed in his heart, but he could only endure it when he was angry.
Fortunately, when he set up Lin Youzhi, he forcibly sold many items, and now he can barely paste them into the profits. Otherwise, I am afraid that if the owner does not scrape him alive, he will have to abandon him completely.
When it comes to Lin Youzhi, I have to talk about his marriage.
Whether it is a rich fortune or a daughter-in-law, now the debts he owes are all paid by the Yue family. Because of this, he completely lost his face and status in front of his daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door.
But fortunately, after finishing those rights and wrongs, he returned to the school smoothly. Of course, when he came back this time, he was much more silent and withdrawn. But whenever someone gathers to talk, he always hides far away, lest everyone talk about him in secret.
On the contrary, when the master saw that he had put his mind on reading, he was slightly satisfied, and reminded him from time to time......
But I just don't know if he really repented or was temporary. After all, he has not been without pretense of changing his mind in front of him.
Of course, when these conversations reached Liu Shulai's ears, he snorted twice with disdain, and did not attract any attention from him.
If you have the kung fu to care about the turtle grandson, it is better to go to the painting boat and listen to a little song.
No, Chen Rong muttered to him, saying that Qingyun Painting Boat came to a famous corner that floated from the capital, and the voice was like a yellow bird, and a smile could crispen a man's bones.
Today, the woman showed her face for the first time, and she would probably be looking for a guest to enter the curtain, so Chen Rong was pulling Liu Shu to occupy a seat with great interest.
Liu Shulai listened to what he said, and sneered: "You said that you are also a leader in the stalk, a woman who sings, as for making you so virtuous?" ”
Chen Rong didn't believe it when he saw that he came to brother, and hurriedly said: "Brother Lai, you are superficial." I heard that there are many kings and nobles in the capital who buy her a smile, but if her little hand is touched, that person can not walk for several days. ”
Liu Shulai rolled his eyes, "That's a soft-footed shrimp, Lao Tzu has been in Chunxiang Building for several days, but he hasn't had a weak leg......"
Chen Rong couldn't help but get anxious when he saw that his brother hadn't moved yet, "What kind of goods is Chunxianglou, those who throw dice one by one can't throw a rope, how can they compare with Mei Niang!" Not to mention Mei Niang's posture, it is the good wine and wine she brought in the capital, and smelling it can make people drunk for two days. ”
Liu Shulai listened to what Chen Rong said, and his heart was itching, he mixed up a lot of voices and colors, but he had never met a woman who made people feel crisp when he smiled.
Of course, I have never encountered a fine wine that can make you drunk just by smelling it.
To be honest, the sweetest drink he has ever drunk so far is probably the rose brew from Chunxianglou. If there was a better ......
Damn, he's really like trying.
