Chapter 236
It is also thanks to Lin Baoru's special moisturizing water and rouge gouache that are still in style, and they have not been inspected inside, so that several official wives have not abandoned the Liu family shop because of the price.
Otherwise, I am afraid that this will cause the Liu family to lose, but it will be a real big deal.
Mrs. Liu, who hadn't waited for her daughter-in-law to come back for most of the day, couldn't help but go around the house.
She is not afraid of losing money, she is afraid of the many troubles caused by this incident, and she is even more worried that after this fight, it will be difficult for Baoru's girl to convince the public when she is in charge of the shop.
In addition, those who were once scolded by themselves and did not dare to come to the door to find fault, took this opportunity to start belittling their daughters-in-law again.
Not only did the outside start laughing at the daughter-in-law married by the Liu family, but they really couldn't get on the stage, and ridiculed her for being short-sighted as the master of the house.
If this is light, then the heavier one, but the patriarch and the second uncle and the third uncle have come to the door one after another. The purpose of their coming was not to embarrass Lin Baoru like the Bai family and the Li family, but to rely on their own identities to "help" the Liu Mansion through the difficulties.
said that it was a foil, but it looked like it was like asking for guilt and fighting for power. A few people didn't like to hear what they said, so they almost pointed to Mrs. Liu's nose and said that her woman's kindness was going to ruin the foundation of the Liu family.
But after figuring it out, I don't expect to rely on Mrs. Liu in the clan anymore, this time I was hard-hearted, and I sent people away in a few words. As for their desire to see their daughter-in-law, let alone think about it.
Although Mrs. Liu is full of confidence in front of outsiders, she still holds her daughter-in-law between words. It's as if the crisis in a few shops is not a problem at all.
But when she returned home, she was inevitably anxious.
She has been in business for more than ten years, and she knows better than anyone that if she comes to the grocery store to master the recipe for making soap, what it means to the Liu family's spice and rouge shops. To put it mildly, it is the Lin family's workshop and the Liu family. To put it more seriously, I am afraid that I will cut off the way of making money from the Lin family and the Liu family.
Otherwise, why would he push the price to the point of losing money as soon as he made a move?
Thinking of the consistent style of the owner of the Shunlai grocery store, it is no wonder that Mrs. Liu can rest assured.
In fact, if it had been before, she would not have been so anxious. But now, the capital is in turmoil, and she also intends to give up the connection with that side, that is, to give up the mining intentions of the government. In addition, Liu's timber shop and ready-to-wear shop have been sold off.
Therefore, what is left in Liu's hands is only a grain store, a restaurant and a rouge spice shop.
And because of Lin Baoru's joining, she has already tilted the focus of her business towards the latter. It can be said that this is a risky gamble, once lost, even if the Liu family will not hurt their muscles and bones and it will be difficult to turn over, it will also hurt their vitality.
So, when she was eating on this day, she looked at her daughter-in-law and stopped talking.
Not only Mrs. Liu, but also Liu Shuyan, who is used to not caring about the family's business, and Liu Shulai, who is not reliable, looked at her with some worry.
It can be said that at this time, except for Lin Baoru, who has been calmly taking care of business step by step, no one is not worried. It's not just the worries about the work in the Lin family's workshop, but also the guys in the Liu family's shop, Li Xianglang and a few shopkeepers who still insist on doing business with the second room, are a little at a loss.
In the end, Lin Baoru couldn't stand their worried eyes every day, so she simply asked someone to bring a basin of water, and then went back to the house to get two pieces of beauty soap with similar appearances.
"Mother, you try these beauty soaps first, and feel the difference between them." Lin Baoru had a smile in her eyes, and she put the soap cubes in her hand one by one with a confident look, and then motioned for Liu Shulai to try it with Liu Shuyan.
Mrs. Liu was puzzled, but it could be seen that her daughter-in-law looked like an old god, and she couldn't express her worries.
She sighed, and said in her heart, after all, it is her own family, and she will follow her daughter-in-law's will first. If you really can't go back to the sky, it's a big deal to help her stand up by yourself.
Thinking of this, the expression on her face became a little calmer, and she wet her hands with the water in the basin, and then began to scrub the soap cubes one by one.
But after a while, her eyes widened in astonishment, "The first two pieces are no different from the ones that my mother usually takes back from the shop, but the two pieces in the back are ......" She paused, and said a little in her heart, "The last two pieces, I didn't feel it when I first used them, but after washing, I felt that my palms were dry...... It's not comfortable. ”
"The fragrance is strong, but it smells carefully, but it is not as refreshing as the one sold in our own shop."
Mrs. Liu frowned, and after carefully distinguishing it, she shook her head and said, "I'm not good at using spices, but I just feel that the last two pieces are okay to use at first glance, but if they are more detailed, they are a little unsatisfactory." ”
It's not just unsatisfactory, it's simply disappointing. Little Snail Chinese Network
Although she is not proficient in perfumery, she has been pampered for many years, and she can still judge the good of the things she uses. According to her feelings, use the two pieces of beauty soap on the back. When the time is short, I will only feel that my hands and face are dry, and once it is a long time, I am afraid that there will be problems.
When Lin Baoru heard this, she looked at Liu Shulai and Liu Shuyan, waiting for their opinions.
Liu Shulai touched the back of his hand, nodded and said to his mother: "It's really a bit rough, and the two pieces in the back are not easy to use." The taste is also cheesy, and there is a fight with the rouge gouache taste of Chunxiang Building, which is very ......"
Speaking of this, he was glared at by his mother fiercely, and then immediately thought that his words seemed a little inappropriate. So, he hurriedly explained: "When I go to Chunxiang Building, I let Chen Laosan drag me there, and when I go, I will drink some rose brew, and I haven't done anything else!" ”
Whether he has done anything else, Lin Baoru doesn't know, but with his crooked ability, it is enough to make people have black lines.
is obviously talking about business, but if he opens his mouth, he can pull it elsewhere.
Lin Baoru squinted at him, and said with a smile: "What are you excited about, I didn't say anything." ”
When Liu Shulai looked at her appearance, he remembered what happened when she first got married, and at that time she looked like she wanted to draw a line with herself. Therefore, he immediately became short of breath, laughed twice and said, "I'm just afraid that you will misunderstand, anyway, I really didn't do anything." ”
Lin Baoru said twice, not saying whether she believed it or not, "Well, I shouldn't be able to do anything else when I go to Chunxianglou." ”
"I'm really just drinking,......" Liu Shulai was aggrieved, pursed his lips and muttered, "It's a big deal, I'll take you with me next time, just drink a little wine and listen to a little song." ”
As soon as his words fell, Mrs. Liu, who had just wiped her hands next to her, was choked with a breath, and immediately threw the cloth towel in her hand with a smile.
"Let's go together, who are you as a Baoru girl, just like you?" As she spoke, she looked at Lin Baoru and admonished, "Baoru girl, if he messes around again, you will directly break his dog's legs, and if there is trouble, my mother will bear it for you." ”
In that way, I really don't look down on my own son.
Liu Shulai is not stupid, and suddenly reacted to the meaning of his words. He just has no heart anymore, and he knows that the daughters of good families can't stand to be compared with the girls in Fireworks Alley. So, he hurriedly said, "I don't mean that, and I don't like to go to those places." ”
Lin Baoru rolled her eyes and didn't say anything more.
Hehe, a man's mouth deceives people. It's not that he doesn't like those places, but he likes Chunxiang Building, but he prefers gambling houses.
However, although she was slandered in her heart, Lin Baoru didn't dwell too much on it.
After all, she made it very clear at the beginning, the past is over, as long as she is still in the Liu family, he can't ask for flowers and ask Liu to block her.
On the side, Liu Shuyan saw that his eldest brother was still a thief with no silver of three hundred taels here, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. So, he hurriedly helped his eldest brother to relieve the siege, "Sister-in-law, I feel the same way, and the latter two pieces are much worse in use." But looking at the appearance, it's also quite exquisite, and if the price is cheap, it can compete with those who come out of the groceries. ”
As soon as his words fell, Liu Shulai, who was still fried, couldn't care about showing his chastity anymore.
He shook his head and said disapprovingly: "If you really sell such soap bars, then it is appropriate to smash your own signboard." Anyway, if I saw that a shop that often went to buy soap bars began to sell such items to fool people, I would definitely not be happy to go again. ”
Lin Baoru saw that although he didn't care about the shop, every time he talked about something, he could always say some truth, so he didn't keep his face tight, and even had some smiles on his lips.
Liu Shulai raised his eyebrows when he saw Lin Baoru, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't it?" ”
"Yes, Xiang Gong is on the point." Although this person's brain is a little bright, Lin Baoru is also familiar with his usual temperament of praising and boasting, and now he will naturally not be stingy when he says good things.
"I didn't plan to make such a coarse bar of soap for beauty soap. Speaking of which, the two pieces used by the latter mother and the second brother of Xianggong are not even semi-finished products in our workshop, but they can only be regarded as broken and distributed to everyone, so that everyone can go home to wash coarse cloth clothes. Lin Baoru explained with a smile, "The first two pieces are sold in our shop, and they are also the most common and basic soap blocks. The first two pieces are the ones I let Xiaohua mix in the crowd and buy them from the grocery store......"
"After Xiaohua bought it, I tried it a few times, and each time it was dry, and the laundry was not dirty enough. The spices in it are full of ten, but they blindly seek to retain fragrance and richness, so they are inferior. And the soap in our house is filled with pure essential oils from flowers and fruits, which is skin care, and there are spices specially matched by spice ladies in various shops, which are better in all aspects of nature. ”
Lin Baoru explained: "Actually, when I used Shunlai's soap block for the first time, I felt that he was not an anti-dog. In other words, this is the most difficult method used to wash dirty fabrics when I first made soap beans. ”
Although it is generally true, there are many differences inside.
