Chapter 8 - All my private money is for you
I still have to continue to invest money to buy materials and tools!!
Lu Mengqi wants to make soap, which requires pig pancreas and trona, but she found that these things are really.... It's all so expensive!!!
Lu Mengqi had no choice but to find his own cook and collect some unwanted pig pancreas, and he couldn't afford to buy trona, so he could only go to the back mountain and cut some bamboo and burn it to ashes, so he could make do with it.
The tools that should be tossed are all done, and the materials that should be collected are almost the same, Lu Mengqi is also relatively familiar, so naturally he can't miss his experience of making soap in a soap shop to send to his ex-boyfriend.
Lu Mengqi started early this day, pushed Xu Jie, and gave Xu Jie a day off, when he finished it, it was already afternoon, and he only made four pieces of soap, which still looked like that.
"Miss... You...."Li Rourou looked at the things made by Lu Mengqi, and it was a little difficult to speak.
"What's wrong? Impressed by me? Try it quickly, it doesn't work. Lu Mengqi picked up a piece of leftovers and handed it to Li Rourou.
Li Rourou had no choice but to use it. "It's easy to use....it's just..."Li Rourou was vague and didn't continue.
Lu Mengqi, who was in a hurry, hammered Li Rourou's arm, "If you have something, say it quickly, do you want to say that it is not good-looking?" Dark? Or do you want to say that we are selling too expensive? ”
"No, Miss, you dare to do it, you dare to sell, no one dares to buy it." Li Rourou said it with an embarrassed face, and after speaking, he looked at his eldest lady's reaction.
"Why doesn't anyone dare to buy it? Isn't that great to use? It's just that the color is a little darker, but many of the colors of the bath beans are not good-looking. It doesn't affect. Lu Mengqi was still immersed in the excitement of making her own soap.
"It's not because it's not good-looking, it's because, you're similar to the tribute in the palace." Li Rourou paused and continued.
"You just sell it for four yuan, and you don't have a shop yet, who dares to buy it, if you buy it, you will be arrested as a thief, but it is a big crime to lose your head. If you put it out, someone might get it gone. Li Rourou was timid, holding his shoulders, and the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
"Huh? Tribute in the palace? Wouldn't it have been made? Lu Mengqi was a little surprised, she had tossed for so long, and she only made four pieces, thinking that she couldn't sell it too cheaply, otherwise she would be sorry for her labor. Outcome....
"I've only heard of it, maybe it's different." Li Rourou has no confidence at all when he speaks, how can it be different, the royal family has announced the recipe, but the production method has not been announced, and what is really made will still be paid tribute to the palace, where do ordinary people dare to use this.
Lu Mengqi gritted her teeth and thought about it, it is indeed true, if it is really the same as the royal thing, then there is indeed no way to sell it.
Lu Mengqi is like a frosted eggplant, the wilted ones can't be wilted anymore, and there is nowhere to sell these things, so they can't all be used for themselves, and it seems that they are more like they were stolen from the palace.
Lu Mengqi sat in the courtyard, her head drooping and about to reach the ground.
"Why is Kiki here?" Gu Yuanqing looked at Lu Mengqi, whose head was on the stone table, and walked over to care.
"You see, I did it today, but Rou Rou said that these are similar to the things in the palace, and I originally wanted to sell them and make some money, but now I can't do it." Lu Mengqi took the soap in front of her and showed it to Gu Yuanqing.
"So you've been busy with all these things lately, that's it? Bath beans? Gu Yuanqing picked it up and looked at it, took some leftovers, and tried it, it was indeed very clean, and it felt much better than common bath beans.
"It's really like something in the palace, Kiki don't sit here, let's go back to the house and talk." Gu Yuanqing seemed a little uncomfortable standing up, so he could only pull Qiqi to the study.
"You're good enough to do this." Gu Yuanqing praised Lu Mengqi from the bottom of his heart, and Lu Mengqi blushed a little when he heard it. What's amazing, it's not a shortcut to modern people.
"But I can't sell it, I originally wanted to make money, I wanted to open an incense shop, but I didn't have the capital, I could only make something to sell, but I didn't expect it to be sold." Lu Mengqi was lying on the desk, his head resting on his arm, and playing with the tea cup in front of him with one hand.
"It's not difficult to solve this problem, but if you toss for so long, you only make four yuan, even if you take it out and sell it, I'm afraid that no one can afford to pay the price." Gu Yuanqing touched Lu Mengqi's head, as if to comfort an injured little animal.
"Yes, forget it, the price is really expensive, and I just saved some money by taking the pig pancreas that the cook didn't want when he killed the pig, not a long-term solution." Lu Mengqi actually converted the cost, the price of a piece of soap is really too high, but she thought that there would always be someone who would pay for something she hadn't seen, just four yuan, which should be easy to sell.
But I didn't think that everyone might not buy this thing because they were afraid of prison, and I didn't think about what to do with the soap after it was really sold, the cost was high, the production time was long, and it was not cost-effective to save money for a shop.
"If Kiki wants to open an incense shop, I heard that there is a shop in the west of the city, which is not doing well and is about to close, why don't you try it? The shopkeeper hasn't sold the contents of the shop yet, so you can try it. ”
"But I don't have the money to make a shop, if I have money, I don't have to make these things." Lu Mengqi was a little embarrassed, she obviously had money, but she couldn't take it out, she was really aggrieved.
"The shopkeeper still has half a month, you can talk to him, the money for renting the shop will not be returned to the shopkeeper after all, if you run well for half a month and make money, maybe the shopkeeper can allow you to operate together." Gu Yuanqing comforted Lu Mengqi.
In fact, as early as when Lu Mengqi began to collect materials everywhere, Gu Yuanqing sent someone to inquire privately, and he got some answers from the side, and as soon as these contents were integrated, he could understand a thing or two about what Lu Mengqi was going to do, and then sent Chen Jing out to inquire about the situation of a few incense shops.
I learned that there was a shop facing closure, so I chatted with the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper also agreed that in the last half a month, it could be handed over to someone else to operate, and the dead horse should be used as a live horse doctor.
So after Gu Yuanqing got the news, he came to the yard to find Lu Mengqi, and then he had the next thing.
Seeing that Lu Mengqi, who was usually full of interest and vitality, suddenly dimmed, Gu Yuanqing had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he wanted to help.
"This is the money I saved, you can use it." Gu Yuanqing took out a box from the cabinet, and after opening it, there were some copper plates and a few broken silver cars inside, and after counting, it should be enough for half a month.
"You always have to pay some money to hire people, and the store also needs to be cleaned, so you can transfer the people in the house, just talk to the housekeeper." Gu Yuanqing took out the silver money and handed it to Lu Mengqi.
Lu Mengqi's face was full of guilt and happiness, the guilty thing was that he was obviously rich, but he still let Gu Yuan, who had no money, clear his capital, and he was happy that such a big problem was finally solved.
