Chapter 12 - What NPCs Won't Face
In fact, the next step is simple and simple, but it needs more people and more flowers. Another problem at the moment is that her production method is not too complicated, and if other stores want to imitate it, they can immediately understand it by looking at the backyard tools by a random person.
So the most important thing is to make something that no one else can do. But Lu Mengqi only takes the lead of modern people, and there is still a lot of lack of research and development, and it is good to gather talents in incense making.
Although she has made some money in the past few days, it is not enough to pack a flower field, if the supply of flowers is insufficient and the sales volume cannot go up, she can only earn a part of the money, which is still far from what she has to do.
And the current flower water is a compound type of multiple flowers, and there are not enough single flowers, so there is no way to make only one fragrance, which is also the biggest factor that troubles Lu Mengqi.
Business is getting better, and it's time to launch something new. Modified toothbrush and tooth powder.
When Lu Mengqi was in Lu Mansion before, he found someone to remodel the toothbrush and tooth powder, which were only used by himself and his family at that time, so only a small part was made for replacement.
Now it seems that it is going to be mass-produced, and although other stores are also selling toothbrushes and tooth powder, the fineness and cleanliness are a little insufficient, and the fragrance is not long-lasting enough, and there is always some bitterness after brushing.
Lu Mengqi also used flower water to thoroughly renew the tooth powder, and after using it, the smell exhaled was floral.
But mass production always takes time, Lu Mengqi doesn't have so much money, and it's not easy to use the money she saves directly, so she can only pay a little every day, modify a little bit of the account, make the income look a little bit more, and then find a nursery to buy flowers.
In ten days, the money earned by the incense shop and the money invested by Lu Mengqi were enough to make toothbrushes and tooth powder in batches. After talking to the shopkeeper Wang about this, the other party also agreed very much, and even admired, after all, he only did the incense shop business, and the money he made was always limited.
Lu Mengqi hired craftsmen and spent another twelve days to make the first batch of toothbrush tooth powder, but Lu Mengqi learned smart this time, toothbrushes were sold normally, and the daily quantity of tooth powder was limited, and the price was raised.
When the rich people saw that Wang Ji Xiangpu had launched a new product, they came to watch or buy, and the tooth powder was sold out in less than an hour, and there was only one trial for people to watch and smell
The signboard of Wang Ji Xiangpu also spread all over the streets and alleys, and the limelight even overshadowed the merchants who had just arrived in the Western Regions.
Lu Mengqi had no time to take care of anything else, and even left the martial arts practice behind, so that Xu Jie pounced every time he came to the Gu Mansion, embarrassed to collect the monthly money, and Lu Mengqi couldn't say anything, after all, he really didn't study anymore.
But I feel that Xu Jie is a little pitiful, after all, he promised the other party at the beginning, Xu Jie didn't look for other jobs for a month, and without this money, I'm afraid that he will be hungry, he is hungry, Lu Mengqi is not so weak-hearted, but his mother at home is also hungry, she can't do such a thing.
Therefore, when Xu Jie came to the door to prepare to repay the monthly money, Lu Mengqi asked Xu Jie to stay in the incense shop to do chores, on the one hand, he could take care of the incense shop, and on the other hand, he could prevent other shops from stealing the craft, killing two birds with one stone.
And this month, Lu Mengqi and Gu Ruihan have also communicated more, but they have seen Gu Yuanqing a lot less.
"Yuan Qing, look! I've made a lot of money~ It's a lot, you borrowed my money at the beginning, I can pay you back with interest, and I can also give you some dividends. Lu Mengqi took a small money bag containing broken silver, and took out a large box containing dozens of copper coins.
"I also sent some to the second lady today, and she also helped a lot at the beginning, I hope I can post some household use. Your family is really..."The three words Lu Mengqi opened her mouth and didn't say it, after all, it's not good to laugh at others, Prime Minister Gu Cheng has a clean breeze on his sleeves, how can he talk about whether he has money or not.
"Kiki, isn't it hard for you to do this every day?" Gu Ruihan asked the question he had been bothered by, in reality, Gu Ruihan's father was also like this, making money every day, working every day, except for the occasional break, he could have a meal with himself, and he usually didn't even see each other.
"It's hard, but when I see the money, I'm very happy." Lu Mengqi took out the money again and counted it, and allocated some monthly money that was ready to be distributed, as well as the share of the shopkeeper Wang, the share of the sister-in-law, and the part that was ready to continue to invest.
There weren't too many silver coins and copper plates left, but it was enough for Lu Mengqi to be happy for a few days.
"Isn't it good to have enough money? Why make so much? "Gu Ruihan didn't know grains since he was a child, and he didn't need to make money when he came to the story, Prime Minister Gu Cheng was responsible for eating and drinking, and he didn't have the desire to buy things, so he didn't have any concept of money.
"yes, wouldn't it be enough?" Lu Mengqi said, the smile on his face disappeared, "I also thought so at the beginning, just make some money enough for your own use, but the more money you make, the higher everyone's expectations for you, and there are workers waiting for you to pay them monthly money, 30 yuan this month, and 29 yuan next month, so I earn more and more." ”
Lu Mengqi said, although her face was a little tired, she was given high hopes by everyone, and this mood was also very good. "Everyone looks at you, they are looking at hope, you not only need to make money, but also need to be worthy of everyone's efforts. Don't want to disappoint them. ”
"Isn't it good to find some ordinary livelihood? It's also good to be an ordinary person. Gu Ruihan said this, as if he was saying it to Lu Mengqi, and it seemed to be talking to others.
"Okay, it's also good, but since I know that I need to pay Xu Jie for a month, for Li Rourou for a month, and for my own expenses, I can't be an ordinary person." Lu Mengqi put down the copper plate that was still counting in his hand and wrote down a number on the paper.
She turned her head to look at him across the table, "You are the eldest son of the Gu family and the only son of Prime Minister Gu, you don't know at all, how much money you need to pay every month to take care of such a family, I don't know at the beginning of Qichu, I know a lot after talking to the second lady a lot." ”
Lu Mengqi didn't really want to mention these things in front of him, but she wanted to say it again, and wanted him to know, "You don't need to think about this, it's because someone thinks about it for you, you don't need to worry about whether you will have food today, it's because someone is worried about you, but it doesn't mean that these problems don't exist, it's just that you haven't faced them." ”
"I didn't face it?" After Gu Ruihan listened, although he understood, he couldn't understand it.
"You might as well try the feeling that from tomorrow onwards everything will be paid for by yourself, but you won't do it." After Lu Mengqi finished speaking, he didn't know where he got angry, and he felt that he was talking to an NPC about what he was doing so much.
"Forget it, go to sleep. It's useless to think so much. "Anyway, as an NPC, you're never going to face that.
Lu Mengqi was lying on the bed, and Gu Ruihan was lying next to her, "Qiqi, can I hug you?" ”
Lu Mengqi didn't know if he was too sleepy or tired, so after Gu Ruihan said this, he moved to his side, lay down in his arms, and slept peacefully.
