Chapter 32: Picking Up Leaks
"I don't blame you, Brother Wenxuan," Wang Yingrou choked up, "It's only Fang Tian's slut who is too scheming, she deliberately raised the price to let us buy flowers, and blame that slut!" ”
Wang Yuanwai reprimanded: "What time is it now, what's the use of getting to the bottom of it, if you have time to think about this, it's better to think about how to deal with these orchids, you can't let them stop at home." ”
When Fang Tian took Lin Xiao home, it was already sunset, and the clouds in the sky were all dyed in stunning colors by the afterglow of the setting sun, and every time someone looked up, they couldn't take their eyes off it.
Fang Tian also couldn't take her eyes off, her previous life was spent in a concrete forest, and such a view could not be seen between the skyscrapers, she tried to open her eyes wide, greedily took in the sunset scenery, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful!" ”
Unlike her, Lin Xiao, as a native of this world, couldn't understand what was beautiful about the sunset, so he perfunctorily agreed.
"Hmph, I don't know how to appreciate it."
As Fang Tian was talking, he suddenly felt the same nose, and he actually sneezed twice in a row, as the saying goes, one sneezes two scolds and three cooing, these two sneezes came so suddenly, someone must have secretly scolded himself behind his back.
Calculating the time, Fang Tian knew who was chewing the root of the tongue behind her back, she didn't laugh angrily, just because she thought of Wang Yingrou's expression and words at this moment.
After all, she is a young lady from a big family, and she scolds and scolds, at most, just two or three bad words in a fixed format.
Fang Tian was very happy, and even gently hummed his favorite pop song in the past.
Lin Xiaoke couldn't understand what she was singing, those strange ballads that he had never heard before, and he had been together for a while, Lin Xiao had already figured out some of her hobbies, such as singing two songs that he didn't know when he was happy. She was happy, and Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Fang Tian lowered his head and asked.
"If my sister is happy, I will be happy."
So in Fang Tian's eyes, Lin Xiao changed from a poor precocious child to a stupid child, she nodded the tip of his nose and asked him with a smile: "Then do you know why I'm happy today?" ”
Lin Xiao's dark eyes rolled like pearls, and he actually nodded and said that he knew, Fang Tian was a little surprised, and asked him what he knew, Lin Xiao replied: "When you came to our village that day, I secretly took a look, it was that big sister who deliberately bullied you and robbed you of the orchid you wanted to buy." ”
"I recognized her when I saw her at the market today, and although I don't know why she was upset, I could see that she had suffered a big loss, so my sister was happy."
Lin Xiao said, squinting his eyes and laughing: "If my sister is happy, I will be happy." ”
Fang Tian laughed and scolded him for being stupid, and then hurried home with him.
She hurried home today to discuss with her family about orchids. She had already prepared the utensils for refining the flavor and jokes, but she didn't do it for a long time, because the raw materials were not enough, so she was delayed.
Fang Tian wanted to rely on this spice and flavor to help her family get rid of poverty and become rich, and she had been thinking about the opportunity, but now that the raw materials were close at hand, she wanted to discuss these things with her family.
Zhao Xiuqin is the most vocal person in this family, Father Fang is honest and gentle, and careless, he has never made up his mind, Fang Gang also follows his temperament, so everything in the family is planned by Zhao Xiuqin.
But it's different now, since Fang Tian woke up from a suicide attempt and changed her personality, she has a part in family affairs, and even Zhao Xiuqin's weight is heavier.
"You mean to say that you want to buy those orchids when the Wang family disposes of them at a low price? But what's the use of buying it back, this orchid has been left for so long and no one has taken care of it, it is not a valuable commodity in the first place, and now it is bought back and wants to sell it again, I am afraid it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”
Zhao Xiuqin said and sighed.
Fang Tian shook his head and said, "After I bought it back at a low price, I didn't plan to sell it directly, but to refine something else. ”
"Something else?" Hearing Fang Tian's words, the eyes of the four people in the room looked at her face in unison, obviously they couldn't understand what else she was talking about.
Fang Tian explained: "Women love to use rouge spices, everyone knows that most of the spices circulating in the market are shipped from the Western Regions or other places, and these things are very popular in fat powder shops, so I thought if I could extract things from orchids and sell them to fat powder shops." ”
The family listened to it in a fog, and it wasn't until they heard Fang Tian's summary that they understood what they meant, that is, they wanted to refine some spices and essences and sell them to the fat powder shop.
Rouge gouache is something that only big families can use, Zhao Xiuqin has lived for most of her life, and she saw it once on the dresser of the owner's wife when she went to help in someone else's house, those things are very expensive, she knows her family ability, so she has never had any illusions.
"Sounds like a great way to make money."
Fang Tian smiled and pointed to the room where he stacked the bronzes that could refine spices, and said, "I went to the blacksmith a few days ago to order all kinds of strange utensils, just thinking of making a fortune by this method. ”
I had never heard of anyone who could make a fortune from this before, but the Fang family couple and Fang Gang, seeing the smile on Fang Tian's face, couldn't bear to refute her mood, the girl who was depressed and autistic since she was a child and only preferred to grow orchids, now she has used her brain to seek benefits for the family, no matter whether her idea is feasible or not, whether it is wild or not, the family has decided to support him.
Father Fang and Fang Gang are both the same idea, they are men, they are the pillars of this family, what they want is to let Fang Tian make trouble, it's just a big deal that they are under more pressure and do more work to subsidize the family.
The support expressed by the family members made Fang Tian's eyes red, such an open-minded family member was something that the girl dreamed of in her previous life but couldn't ask for.
Zhao Xiuqin was careful, and when she saw Fang Tian's expression at a glance, she sighed, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "How old is this, why do you still like to cry so much, don't cry, cry again, even Ah Xiao will look down on you." ”
Fang Tian raised his eyes to look, just in time to see Lin Xiao's black and white eyes staring at him, he hurriedly raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said coquettishly: "Don't look at me!" ”
Lin Xiao answered vaguely twice, and when Fang Tian removed his hand, he really stared at the floor and didn't dare to look up.
"Since you have decided to do it, just let it go," Zhao Xiuqin said, she was still worried, "But the orchid you said about buying the orchids bought by the Wang family at a low price, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, you think, the Wang family has suffered such a big loss in this matter, how can they sell the orchids back to you, I'm afraid they won't even be willing to sell them to us if they put the flowers at home and rot." ”
Fang Tian had also thought about this problem before, and the best solution was to ask someone who didn't know the Wang family to pretend to be an orchid merchant from other places and go to the Wang family to buy flowers: "Don't worry about this, I have a solution, but I'm a little worried, where should I put the orchid after I buy it?" ”
Zhao Xiuqin thought for a moment and said: "Your aunt's house has a house that is not inhabited, and it is close to our house, so I will go and tell her, it's a big deal to rent it with some money." ”
It was already night, and the dark night enveloped the mountain villages on all sides, and the lights were scattered, which seemed a little warm. The warmest thing in Fang Tian's eyes was the lights of his own house, but a bean of light, occasionally when the night breeze came through the hall, the lights went on and off, as if they were about to go out, but it was never extinguished in the end, and Father Fang's slightly old body blocked the wind intentionally or unintentionally.
The hall was silent and no one spoke, waiting for Zhao Xiuqin to come out of the back room.
Just talking about the orchid business, and talking about the essence refining, Zhao Xiuqin said and said, suddenly remembered something, patted her head, and asked with flashing eyes: "Since you want to buy flowers, it must be the capital, girl, you calculate carefully, how much capital does it cost to buy orchids?" ”
Their family was not wealthy, and the family's expenses before relied on the fishing and hunting business of Father Fang and Fang Gang, and they didn't have much savings, so when Wang Yingrou deliberately made it difficult for their family to lose one hundred taels, they would be so embarrassed.
Zhao Xiuqin calculated carefully, the silver that she originally saved, plus the money left over from Fang Tian's sale of Damoran a few days ago, was more than a hundred taels of silver, put it in the past, this was a silver money that could make their family of four stable for a long time, but now it is different, Fang Tian said that he wants to do business, and he doesn't know if this money is enough?
Fang Tian thought for a moment and shook his head: "That day, when Wang Yingrou and he bought orchids, they raised the price nearly twice the price, and now the flowers can't be sold, and their family is not specialized in the orchid business, and it costs more money to hire someone to take care of it, so I guess that their family must feel that the longer the orchid is kept at home, the more it will be a loss, and the price they sell for orchids will definitely not be too expensive." ”
As for how much it will be sold for, Fang Tian herself really can't be sure, but she is sure of: "It won't exceed a hundred taels of silver." ”
Fang Tian's changes since this period of time, the Fang family has seen it, they know that Fang Tian is now a person with quite ideas, since the guess will not exceed one hundred taels, it must be about the same.
It's not difficult to say it, but in fact, a hundred taels of silver is too much.
Lin Xiao's black and white eyes widened, as if he had heard something terrible, in his eyes, one hundred taels was a sky-high price.
Fang Tian gently rubbed Lin Xiao's head, her tone was very gentle, but the words were clear, she said, "The money you spend now will definitely be earned back in the future." ”
She has this confidence.
As if taking a reassuring pill, Zhao Xiuqin listened, turned around and went to the back room to get the silver, she has always been a cautious and cautious person, and the money at home is placed in an inconspicuous corner of the cabinet, and it takes a lot of effort to take it out.
Just when Zhao Xiuqin took the silver, Father Fang in the house still didn't speak, just smoked in silence, he didn't mean to object to Fang Tian, he knew that his daughter was capable, so silence meant acquiescence, he was just a carpenter, he was a carpenter since he was a child, how much money to do, what Fang Tian said about the orchid spice fat powder business, he didn't understand, and he didn't understand the process.
He only understood that Fang Tian wanted to buy orchids as materials, and then do a business that no one else had done.
To do business, you need capital, and Father Fang's silence means that he is thinking about where to get those money.
Compared with his parents, Fang Gang understands Fang Tian's meaning better, he is a man, occasionally when he eats with friends, he will hear married people complain about the cost of his wife's fat powder at home, he knows that the spice fat powder business can make money, but he doesn't know how Fang Tian plans to start.
After all, their family is just a small farmer in a rural mountain village, where can they understand the method of spice refining?
Fang Gang thought about it and couldn't help but ask her, "How do you plan to refine the spice essence, do you know how to do it?" ”
