Chapter XVI Inspections

"We also have to have corresponding punishments and rewards for these big treasurers, like those who cannot be promoted or who have made small mistakes, we speak directly with silver. Deduct their dividends on a monthly basis, correspondingly, if the store they manage makes a good profit every month, they will naturally be given dividends. ”

"The ledger should be settled daily, every ten days, every month, and every quarter. We have to check these account books regularly, and if the big shopkeeper does a good job, he can also change them in the branch, and wait until we spread the handicap. Calling the big treasurers of these places to each other on a one-year or two-year basis can also prevent them from secretly colluding and doing some deceptive things. ”

Lin Wan'er's face became more and more serious when she heard this, "When the water is clear, there are no fish." If we can catch the typical examples, punish them severely, and make them have scruples, it will naturally reduce a lot of trouble. It's just that it's too hard to avoid it completely. ”

Xia Qingqing also nodded, "Indeed, it is not easy to find people who are obedient and can do things, and are not greedy for money, we do our best to formulate the system more reasonable and perfect, after all, it is still a troublesome thing that can be avoided." ”

"Don't be stingy in terms of monthly money, give a little higher than the market price, so that they will also have some scruples. When the monthly salary is high and the promotion system is clear, there will naturally be people rushing for this job, and they will be nervous all the time. ”

Lin Yuan'er nodded, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the two of us don't have to worry too much about me." When these things really happen, it's not too late to think about measures. ”

"It's okay, just take your time, and my grandfather and my brother will take care of us on the left and right."

"Yes, I've been thinking about the system in detail for the past two days, and I've compiled these into words and submitted them to Brother Lin Qing's side."

"To put it bluntly, let's look at the balm I made, if you usually want to make your clothes fragrant, you can only do it by smoking fresh petals. If you add the juice of flowers to the lipstick you usually use. Once it has solidified, it can be made into balms of different scents, which can be applied to the wrist or neck. ”

"I can't say that the aroma lasts, but it definitely lasts longer than the sachet."

Xia Qingqing continued to write and draw on the paper, "We use different styles of flowers to carve each balm box, so that we can pass on our impressionist concept." In the subsequent sales process, if the customer wants roses, Xiao Er can also accurately pick out the goods from a pile of goods.

"This greatly reduces the occurrence of errors and leads to happier transactions, which also helps us to make money."

"Indeed, it's a great idea." Lin Yuan'er praised this.

"It's just that the usual mouth paper is applied to the lips, and it will bring some color, and if you make this balm, if you bring the color to the clothes, how can it be good?"

Xia Qingqing obviously thought of this question as well, and her brows furrowed tightly, "Then is it possible to apply this balm directly to the corresponding brightly colored clothes?" ”

This is not appropriate, not to mention that the nobles usually need to be clean and tidy, and the old clothes worn by the common people for many years are also very clean. If you dye your clothes in the process of applying balm, it will be troublesome. Lin Yuan'er nodded without nodding.

"Then let's think differently."

Xia Qingqing continued, "Since this thing will definitely have a color, why don't we match it with an extra mold when we sell it." ”

Xiao Er can also directly demonstrate to the buyer when selling, take out some of this balm from the small box, brush it carefully on the mold, and then directly print the mold on the wrist or ankle. The colored balm molds can be carved directly into corresponding patterns, such as roses, or moon flowers, or irises, so that they can be used as a decoration even if they are printed on the face. “

"With the different places of printing, or the different patterns, the mold of the depicted flowers must be changed in every way."

Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up, and the more she spoke, the more brisk her tone became, "In this way, Bai Yutang has added another market." ”

"Indeed, I think this is also very good, the ancient emperor got up in the morning to paint the eyebrows and add makeup to the beautiful woman, and it became a good story when it was passed on to the people. In this way, we also avoid the embarrassment of making a mistake in drawing the eyebrows. ”

"Okay, since my sister-in-law agrees, then we'll do it."

"When selling balm, we only have one mold, and if we want to print it in different places, we have to spend money to buy the corresponding mold, so that we have an extra income." Xia Qingqing's smile climbed to the end of her eyes, and the whole person smiled very happily.

"It was as if I had seen gold and silver speeding towards us. In the future, what kind of gold silk nanmu is used to carve beams and paintings in people's homes, we can directly use gold and silver to make houses, make dishes and chopsticks, and also detect that it is toxic and non-toxic by the way. Xia Qingqing began to talk nonsense.

"You, you, your mouth is full of gold and silver, and you don't want to think that you are all people who are about to get married."

"When the three princes were hunting in the autumn, they only appeared for a short time, and I didn't even have a chance to take a closer look later, and I don't know what kind of life you will live when you marry in the future?" Lin Yuan'er gently stroked Xia Qingqing's face.

"This! I didn't see it clearly," Xia Qingqing emphasized, panicking in her heart, it's not time yet, she can't tell her family that she and the third prince have reached an agreement, and they are trying their best to withdraw from the marriage.

So he quickly opened the topic, "After all, you don't have to think about these things now, sister-in-law, when the weather is sunny in two days, let's go to Kuanzhai Alley to see the progress of the construction." ”

After a period of rainy season, Xia Qingqing and her fourth sister-in-law Lin Yuan'er made an appointment to go to Kuanzhai Alley today to see how it was built.

As soon as Lin Yuan'er got into the carriage, she heard, "It's my sister-in-law, come in and try it, this is a pastry made by Xiaoqingxin." ”

"Glutton, I just had lunch, and I ate these snacks again, and I'm not afraid of accumulating food."

"Don't be afraid, this rose cake is delicious, the filling has removed the original rose leaves, added salted egg yolk mixed with rose juice, and the bite is full of the aftertaste of roses. Sweet but not greasy, you can taste it. Xia Qingqing's mouth was full of pastries, and she couldn't speak clearly.

"Little gluttonous cat, you asked Xiaoqing to make these things, and I don't know how much effort it took her."

As he said this, he took the pastry handed by Xia Xing in his hand and took a bite. "It's delicious, it's good."

While the two were eating, Lin Yuan'er asked again, "Why don't you see you putting the pastries in the White Jade Hall to sell?" This should also make a lot of money. ”

Xia Qingqing was embarrassed in her heart, and she couldn't directly say that she had already given the recipe for the pastry to the third prince, and she also promised to share the account with her. It's not good to sell these pastries in the shop by yourself.

coughed and responded, "Our Bai Yulou is taking the high-end route, only making clothes and jewelry, if you add food, I'm afraid that the kitchen is not big enough, and you have to be careful about the things at the entrance." Many aristocratic families also did not have the habit of eating outside. It's cheap, and I'm reluctant, so let's put this idea on the go, it's good to use it as a gift after all. ”

"That's true, it's cheaper, and I don't agree with it." Lin Yuan'er swallowed the pastry in her mouth and quickly took another piece.

The two talked and laughed, and Xia Qingqing continued to introduce the rest of the food to Lin Yuan'er.

"Miss, we're here."

The two got off the carriage with the support of the maids, Xia Qingqing looked up and saw that the originally slightly narrow wide and narrow alley had been expanded to a avenue that could be entered and exited by two carriages at the same time, the wall at the end of the road had already been demolished, and the ground of the entire street was paved with bluestone slabs, and the ground was tamped and flat, even if it was walking on a rainy day, it would not splash the clothes full of mud spots, and it looked clean and convenient for action after days of heavy rain.

The two of them continued to walk inside, and all the buildings were made of gray tiles and white walls, and the walls of the tall gatehouse were delicately carved, and the carved roofs were even more delicate and beautiful.

The originally crowded shops have long been merged into several, the clean and tidy big store, the big shopkeeper who has been waiting for a long time trotted all the way over, "Participate in the two nobles,"

"Get up." Xia Qingqing said.

"Yes, little Lin Jin, I was ordered to lead the nobles around first."

According to the nobleman's assumption, there is a teahouse in the middle, and the second and third floors are private rooms. The first floor of the whole street is almost completely opened, and the clothing, supplies, and sub-areas are divided into affordable and expensive at the same time, only this is separated by a wall, and the rest are all separated by screens. ”

Xia Qingqing and Lin Yuan'er walked into the lobby, and everyone immediately knelt down, "The grass people see the two nobles. ”

"No need to be polite, please get up quickly." I have to rely on you a lot, I have a lot of rewards for doing a good job, if there is, black-hearted stealing chickens and dogs, we will never tolerate it. ”

"Yes."

"Okay, let's all disperse, my sister-in-law and I will go around by ourselves."

The two walked out, and Lin Jin followed behind.

"This Lin Jin, Lin Yin, Lin Qian, and Lin Cai are all orphans. When I was a teenager, I was picked up by my brother from the street, brought back to the house to feed them, taught them skills, and now they can also take charge of themselves, so I sent them out to you. ”

"Gold and silver money, Brother Lin Qing, this way of naming is becoming more and more unique." Xia Qingqing said with a smile.

"He's been out recently, otherwise, he'll have to come over and help you do it himself."

He opened a few new shops along the coast, and he specialized in transporting the goods inland, and this time a large ship sailed back from the sea. It's that a lot of rare wild fish have been caught. When he heard this, he rushed over with someone. ”

"Brother Lin Qing's business is really getting bigger and bigger, and I hope that our Bai Yutang can also open stores in various places as soon as possible."

Take your time, everything will be fine.

"Seeing that this is ready to be installed soon, when are you going to set the opening date?"

Xia Qingqing said in a chattering voice, "The opening day is very important, we had better ask a fortune teller to help us see which day is the auspicious zodiac day." ”

"At the door, I think there is also a jade cabbage, which means that all fortunes are beckoned." Xia Qingqing pointed to the middle of the hall.
