Chapter 10: Guys' Affairs
On Monday, in the most prosperous section of Huangcheng East Street, a lipstick shop called 'Xiang Nayer' officially opened, and there was an endless stream of rich ladies who came to cheer.
Many ordinary people were attracted by this lively scene, gathered around the roadside to watch, and for a time the crowd was full of voices, and the scene was extremely lively.
In just half a day, the goods in the store were sold out, and the turnover was as high as 1,300 taels of silver!
Although they had expected that business would be good, they didn't expect it to be so hot, so Zhao Dabao hurried back to the factory in a hurry, posted notices to recruit people, and expanded production capacity.
Li Sitong was busy in the store, greeting the endless flow of customers.
And Zhang Tian sat at home and practiced swords without hurry...
If it was not Liu Sitong who took the lead today, but Zhang Tian, with his reputation in the city, it is estimated that there would never be such a hot scene.
Until Wednesday, the factory's production capacity was increased to 600 pieces per day, but the supply still exceeds demand, but in order to ensure quality and quantity, this can only be the case at this stage.
"Sitong, I'm here to deliver the goods!"
Zhang Tian carried the package and came to her small courtyard again.
"Childe, you're here, those sisters are about to kill me!" Li Sitong complained, obviously annoyed enough.
Those rich people will naturally not be attracted by the bargains in the store, and only high-end goods from Zhang Tian's hands will make them willing to pay.
"Hehe, didn't I just come here, by the way, I won't take the lipstick in copper packaging in the future, put it in the factory and let the coppersmith produce it slowly,
From now on, I will only accept orders for gold and silver shells, twenty taels for silver and fifty taels for gold! ”
Li Sitong nodded, "Then I'll ask the next person to ask them if they have changed the order, and in the future, let them go to the store to try their luck in the copper ones!" ”
"Uh-huh, business in the store is stable, right?"
"Stable, the lipstick that can be produced by the factory will not be sold, and the daily income will be more than six hundred taels!"
As soon as he talked about business, Li Sitong suddenly became interested.
This matter is also of great significance to her, the first time she did business, and she did it so successfully, and now the people outside are about to blow her into the sky!
Those people don't know that in fact, Zhang Tiancai is the big boss behind the scenes, and she and Li Dabao only account for 10% of each of them.
"Well, don't be too tired, just leave some things to the next person to do!" Zhang Tian smiled comfortingly.
Seeing a trace of blush floating on her face, Zhang Tian was relaxed, "Sitong, will you teach me to paint in the future?" ”
"Why did you suddenly become interested in painting?" Li Sitong was surprised.
"As the saying goes, you don't have to press your body if you have a lot of skills..."Zhang Tian scratched his head.
The system in his body needs drawings to make items, but he has to talk to her about it, so he can only be sloppy.
"Okay, you come twice a week in the future, I'll teach you how to draw, and I'll let you learn it as soon as possible!" Li Sitong chuckled, she was still very confident in her painting attainments.
Since then, Zhang Tian has come to the house every few days to learn painting from Li Sitong, from the beginning of nothing, to the later painting is good, he only took two months.
During this period, Master Li Sili's attitude towards Zhang Tian also changed, he naturally knew who the owner behind the lipstick business was, and Li Sitong would not hide it from him.
From not being welcome at the beginning, to turning a blind eye to today, Zhang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
The rumors about the two in the city also spread completely, and at that time, Li Si chased Zhang Tian a few streets with a broom, but many people saw it.
Naturally, this matter also reached the ears of the two parties, and the two knew it, but neither of them broke the window paper.
In the past two months, Zhang Tian earned 28,000 taels by making lipstick, plus the remaining more than 1,000 taels before, as well as the dividends of the store, his worth exceeded 50,000 taels!
In terms of swordsmanship, Zhang Yi also occasionally instructed him, which was a lot better than before, and he became more and more proficient in the use of sword qi, almost sending and receiving freely, but the power was far less than Zhang Yi.
In the Weiguo Mansion, Zhang Tian sat cross-legged under the old locust tree, silently running the sword technique, and slowly opened his eyes as a burst of spiritual power fluctuations spread in his body.
A smile crept up the corner of his eyes, and his cultivation broke through to the fourfold level of Qi training!
"Young master, you broke through!?" Shaochun, who was guarding the side, said in surprise.
"Hmm!"
Zhang Tian sighed a little, since the last time the body quenching spirit liquid was used up, he would go to Tongbao Building every week to have a look, but unfortunately, the elixir to enhance cultivation has been out of stock, otherwise he would have broken through, it would have taken so long.
Now he has a lot of money in his hand, but the quenching fluid has become an unattainable treasure, which makes him want to get the formula of the spiritual fluid more and more.
After chatting with Shaochun for a while, Zhang Tian returned to the house and took out a piece of black metal ore, a piece of brass, a packet of black-gray pungent gunpowder, and a small packet of gray powder from a drawer.
Zhang Tian's eyes were a little excited, what he was going to build now had been preparing for more than two months!
The most important thing is that because of the small packet of gray powder, which is the explosive primer used by the quarry to blow up stones, mercury thunderate.
The properties of mercury thunderate are very unstable and easily explosive, but this thing can be used as a primer for bullets!
This is what he stumbled upon when he went to purchase materials.
It took Zhang Tian nearly a month to draw a drawing of a pistol, and the reason why he was able to draw it was precisely because Zhang Tian had been with the gun all day in the army before the crossing, and he knew the structure of each accessory by heart.
Coupled with the use of mercury thunderate as a primer for bullets, the plan to build a pistol for self-defense began to be implemented.
It wasn't until yesterday that I finished drawing the drawings of firearms and bullets, and this morning I received this piece of iron essence booked in Tongbao Building, and the plan officially began!
Wake up the system interface in my mind, select the pistol blueprint, my mind moved slightly, most of the iron essence disappeared in an instant, half of the spiritual power in my body disappeared, and a black pistol appeared on the table!
Zhang Tian hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, the shape was exactly the same as the one he used in the army, but the weight had increased a lot, but with his cultivation, it would not have any effect.
Then Zhang Tian made another 30 bullets and two magazines, and the iron essence was completely used up before he gave up.
Loading the magazine, Zhang Tian hurriedly ran to the yard, opened the safe, aimed at the big stone not far away and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang, accompanied by a puff of black smoke, and the bullet came out of the chamber, hitting the big stone, and immediately punched out a hole!
"Ahem..."Zhang Tian coughed chokingly with black smoke, and the bullets used before crossing were all smokeless black powder, but there was no one in this world at all, so he could only use ordinary black powder instead.
Fortunately, the power is not bad, I'm afraid that the powerhouse of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation will have to overturn if he is hit coldly!
Zhang Tianmu was overjoyed, with the guy to defend himself, he suddenly had confidence in his heart, next time that Xu Wei dared to provoke trouble again, he would shoot him!
"Oh my God, what happened? Why all of a sudden? ”
Zhang Yi rushed into the small courtyard and looked at Zhang Tian with a puzzled expression.
"Well, I don't make it either!"
Putting the pistol in his pocket, Zhang Tian said with puzzlement on his face.
