"Gospel, I know that you are a good person, and you don't forget the people in our village even after you make money. I also know that you asked me to hire five-guarantee households to work, and you are also sharing the burden for our village. Otherwise, every day in Hulu Village Every household has to pay a few pennies to buy some thick rice noodles for these five-guarantee households to spend the winter." Li Zheng laughed and praised Lin Gospel first.
Lin Fufu also gave a haha evaluation in his heart.
"But good news, apart from these five-guarantee households, some people in this village are having a hard time. You said that the work in the town is so good, can you ask for a few more people?" Li was stroking his goatee, tightly Staring at Lin Fufu's face.
No matter how busy Lin Fufu was, calling ten people there was already enough, adding a few more would be white hair wages.
And according to Li Zheng, the people he wants to add must be his relatives or something. Lin Fufu hates this kind of behavior, but he can't offend Li Zheng. Even if he doesn't want to add a few people according to his request, but You still have to speak well.
Suddenly she thought of Liu Qin. Liu Qin once said that the restaurant business of their family is a little lighter now than when the new dishes first came out, but it is not true that there are fewer customers, it is just that many customers see the cold weather Yes, especially I don't want to come out for this meal at night.
That is to say, those who had a social event at night were not willing to go out to eat.
Lin Fufu thought of the modern food delivery service. In fact, the door-to-door service could also be developed in ancient times, but it cannot be like the modern food delivery service, even if it is a fast food.
Lin Fufu's mind was spinning rapidly. If Liu Ji Restaurant wanted to provide food delivery service, it would also serve those wealthy households, because those wealthy households would definitely order a lot of dishes if they wanted to deliver food. The restaurant would definitely make money, so send someone Food delivery is earned.
Because of the cold weather, insulation measures are needed. Lin Fufu thought of the technique of steaming buns and steamed buns, so he put the dishes that need to be delivered on the steamer, and put boiling water in a large iron bucket under the steamer. In this way, the temperature of the cooked dishes can be maintained in the winter.
The more Lin Fufu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. As long as Liu Ji Restaurant dared to introduce this method, the business in the cold winter would be much better than in previous years.
Then, we need food delivery staff. To be honest, it is quite troublesome to deliver a meal. It is estimated that two big men will be needed to deliver a meal. If Liu Ji Restaurant develops a meal delivery service, it will need a lot in one winter. In this way, the food delivery staff is exhausted.
Anyway, Lin Fufu's pretense is to recruit for the eldest son of the Liu family, so it's okay to agree to Li Zheng first.
But the ugly words must be said first, after all, it is winter to go out in the cold wind and snow, so there should be no complaints!
"Gospel, Gospel?" Seeing that Lin Fufu was silent for a while, as if he didn't hear the hint in his words just now, he felt a little displeased. The girl's eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking. So absorbed.
"Uncle Lizheng." Lin Fufu replied, squinting his eyes and asked him with a smile, "It's not impossible to add a few people to work. I don't know if Uncle Lizheng has a quota?"
"Yes, yes!" Lizheng saw that she agreed so happily, the previous displeasure immediately dissipated, and stretched out his hand to count, "Life is not easy for the orphans and widows of my third family, I want my nephew to follow, Qian Sanbao It's not easy at home, this year his family's wheat is running out, and he hasn't harvested a few catties of wheat. I'm afraid he won't be able to pay for the meal money for the New Year's Eve dinner this year, so let Qian Sanbao go with him. And Li Er The Niu family, the father of Li Erniu's family fell and broke his leg this year when he was a clerk, and he spent a lot of money to treat his leg, and he lived in a difficult situation. Li Erniu is one of them, and Wu Sanmei's family is also a widow. There are only two daughters, and the eldest daughter has not been engaged at the age of seventeen, because her family is poor and cannot afford to pay the dowry. Widow Wu is not willing to marry her daughter to those poor families, so she asks her eldest daughter to follow her to earn money. Some dowry money, sorry to see you."
Lizheng mentioned four people in succession. Among these four people, the first one was his nephew, Qian Sanbao was his neighbor, Li Erniu's mother was his wife's cousin, and the last Widow Wu had a close relationship with him, but Few people know it.
Lin Fufu knew that he had selfish intentions, but when she saw that he had told everyone about their difficulties, it was fair to her, so she didn't say anything.
But those three men were okay, the last big girl was a bit difficult to deal with, if it couldn't be done, she was asked to replace Lin Fang, and she asked Lin Fang to follow her to learn how to do business.
Lin Fufu made up his mind and said with a smile: "From what Uncle Lizheng said, the lives of those few families are indeed not good, so they are all from the same village, and they can help."
"I just know that you are good!" Li Zhengle's fangs were out of sight.
Lin Fufu said sternly: "However, before I go back to the village to find someone, the eldest son of Liuji Restaurant has something to say beforehand. Fufu thinks it is necessary to speak to Uncle Lizheng."
"Okay, the eldest son of Liuji Restaurant has something to say first, so hurry up and say the good news." Li Zheng urged.
"It's like this. These people in the village used to work. The wages are six yuan a day, including food and housing, but people have to obey the boss's orders and have to work hard. Even if it's a heavy snow day, the boss will let them go out to deliver goods or something. You can't refuse." Lin Fufu thought of so much first, but in fact, he had to listen to his boss, and he had already said that he was very thoughtful, and then she added, "But work should not be considered a job for the elders. Heavy work, and it's all in Qingyang Town, so I won't go far."
Lizheng laughed when he heard it, "Gospel, look at what Mr. Liu said, isn't it right to use people's money to do things for others? What is it to go out to deliver goods in a snowy day? Even if they are asked to dig iron ore, as long as It’s okay if the price is right! The farmers are used to suffering, so don’t worry!”
Seeing that Li was expressing his position in this way, Lin Fufu nodded in satisfaction.
"What kind of work does the woman do? It's like delivering goods in a snowy day. Women can't do it." Li was thinking of the eldest girl of Widow Wu's family, and couldn't help frowning.
If Widow Wu hadn't pestered him several times to ask him to find a good house for her eldest girl to be a maid to earn money, he wouldn't have found Lin Fufu to push her over.
That Widow Wu is a stupid, ignorant, and ignorant woman! Is it a good thing for a girl to be sent to a rich family as a maid
As for the beauty of her big girl, after a few months of raising her to be white and tender, if the master sees her, how can she get it? It's better to follow Lin Fufu to earn some money. Even if it costs three pennies a day, it's almost a tael of silver a month. It's no better than being a maid at someone else's house, beating and scolding. .
As a concubine, the family has been looked down upon in the village all their lives.
Seeing that he was worried about the daughter of Widow Wu's family, Lin Fufu changed his mind about this place. Among other things, at least this place is doing practical things for the people of Hulu Village, and it is also for the sake of the villagers.
Although there is a distinction between intimacy and estrangement in his heart, it is also human nature. Just like her, the people she invited were her second uncle's family first, and then her neighbors, the Qian family's family.
"That sister, I will make proper arrangements." Lin Fufu said, but Li really planned for the eldest girl of Widow Wu's family, and specially told Lin Fufu about the situation of the eldest girl, hoping that she would help the child. Ask someone to find a good relative in the town.
Lin Fufu glanced at Lizheng strangely, why did he feel that Lizheng's entrustment was a bit unusual
She understood what he meant, and felt that Li Zheng was doing the right thing. It is very likely that a pretty girl who goes to work as a maid in a wealthy family will not get a good death, so if she can help that big girl, she is also willing to extend her hand .
But Lizheng's worried expression, and his behavior planning for her everywhere, is like that big girl's father.
"I can't promise you about the marriage." Lin Fufu said clearly, "That big sister has a mother, and her marriage should be discussed with her mother."
Lizheng blushed when he heard the old man, and he was worried too much, so he nodded quickly, "Gospel is right, I am also worried that her stupid mother will kill her for the rest of her life. Hmm... Gospel can take her and give her a whole life." It’s good to eat a bowl of rice, and I don’t dare to expect too much.”
Lin Fufu said to himself: It's good that you know, I can't fight with these people, let's see if I can help you in a village, don't use your nose to climb on your face.
Then it was agreed that these people would wait under the big pagoda tree at the head of the village tomorrow morning, and Mr. Liu would send a donkey cart to pick them up.
In fact, Lin Fufu hired a donkey cart to pick up people in the village at his own expense.
After the matter was settled, Lin Fufu and Li Zheng said goodbye.
After returning home for lunch, he settled down on some things, hugged Xiaobao and Xiaobei for a while, Lin Fufu gave some instructions to Grandma Li and Nanny Qin, and took the donkey cart to the town again.
After getting off the donkey cart, she walked to her own house, and passed Madam Qin's powder shop, and found Madam Qin standing helplessly in front of the shop door, holding an open face cream box in her hand. Go up and say something.
Lin Fufu was surprised. Half a month ago, Mrs. Qin's cosmetics business was doing very well. Mrs. Qin's face was all rosy, but how long did it take to come out to solicit customers
With curiosity, she walked over and called out, "Miss Qin, what are you doing?"
Seeing that it was her, Mrs. Qin gave a wry smile, and threw the facial fat box in front of her, "Miss Lin, you see, I am soliciting guests, but I have been busy all afternoon, but I did not attract five guests. The shop is probably going to close down."
Lin Fufu was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you get to this point? All the things you buy here are from Caizhizhai."
Mrs. Qin smiled wryly, and stopped soliciting customers, she directly dragged Lin Fufu into her shop, "Miss Lin, I'm suffering, it's just in time for you to come, talk to me."
It doesn't matter whether Lin Fufu is busy or not, it can be seen that Mrs. Qin's business really has a big problem.
Lin Fufu hurriedly followed her in. She only made Xuemelt cream now, and this business was handed over to that man Huangfujin, but she will study other products later on, especially cosmeceuticals. The price is high, yes For high-end products, most of her target customers are the rich in Wei, so it is definitely beneficial to befriend Qin Niangzi, who knows the way.
But now that she is in trouble, if she goes to send warmth, the friendship will naturally be deeper.
"You sit." Mrs. Qin took her to the back hall, and handed over the business to Xiao Er to greet her. Anyway, there are not many customers at this time, except for customers who buy eyebrow cream, lip balm and face powder.
Lin Fufu sat down as promised, Mrs. Qin brought her tea, and then sat across from her. As soon as she sat down, she complained, "It's because of the Beirong people that I can't sell my noodles here!"
"Blame the Beirong people?" Lin Fufu murmured, his heart moved, and he understood something, but heard Mrs. Qin continue to complain, "Isn't it! It's all their fault! Most of the rouge gouache came from our Great Wei Dynasty. Especially the nobles of Beirong used the rouge gouache from Caizhizhai of our Great Wei Dynasty, and they simply couldn’t make such good things as ours.”
Lin Fufu nodded, waiting for her to continue.
"It's also a ghost. Just three days ago, Qingyang Town flowed a large amount of facial fat called Xuerong Paste from Beirong. The noodle fat is still inferior. But the noodle fat is cheap! It only sells for 18 yuan a box! And the worst batch of noodle fat in our Caizhizhai costs 30 yuan a box. Compare?"
It really is Xuerong Ointment, it really is Huangfujin's handwriting!
Lin Fufu's eyes flashed brightly. That man moved really fast. In less than half a month, he promoted the mass production of Xuemelting Cream to Dawei, squeezing out the business of Caizhizhai.
Lady Qin suffocated her words quickly, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Miss Qin, don't worry, the sales of facial fat have been affected here, right?" Lin Fufu lowered his eyes, looked at Lady Qin and asked.
Mrs. Qin sighed, thinking that this is not an insider and she can't see the way.
Then he explained: "Miss Lin, you don't understand. In fact, the best selling product in this powder shop is facial fat. For older girls and daughter-in-laws who want to keep their skin fair and supple, facial fat is always indispensable. Use it The quantity is still very large, so generally speaking, a box of facial fat will be used for less than a month, and a box of facial fat will be used up in half a month."
After saying this, Mrs. Qin sighed again, "So, in the past, the most customers came to my powder shop to buy facial cream. Then, when they were buying facial cream, I would sell other products. Now, Even if there are customers who come to buy other products, but you have to know that lipstick is only used on the lips, eyebrow cream is only used on the eyebrows, and face powder is generally not used as long as you don’t go out to socialize or your complexion is too bad. Yes. So any one of these will take at least a month or more.”
After listening to her explanation, Lin Fufu nodded understandingly. Although she understood all these principles, it was not easy to understand if she was not in this business. So now she understood why Mrs. Qin sighed and looked sad.
"Then, can you also sell Bei Rong's Xuemelt Cream? Use Xuemelt Cream instead of facial fat, and sell Caizhizhai for the rest." Lin Fufu came up with an idea, but he knew in his heart that maybe Caizhizhai It was impossible to agree, she remembered that Mrs. Qin had told her that she had signed a contract with Caizhizhai, and that the rouge gouache was only sold from Caizhizhai.
Sure enough, Mrs. Qin shook her head with a wry smile, "If I can do this, I won't worry about it." After a pause, she said with an even worse complexion: "However, there are so many shops in Caizhizhai, just us in Qing The shops in Lian County are the most unlucky. The snowmelt cream is first distributed from our county. And their owners don't choose customers at all. Whether it's a big powder shop or a small traveler, as long as someone orders and pays, they will pay for it. To supply the goods. You go to our town for a walk, whether it’s the small stalls on the street, or the salesman’s burden, you can buy snow melting cream!”
Lin Fufu thought to himself: That's because Huangfu Jin listened to her suggestion. The direct result of such a strategy is that Xuerong Ointment became popular in Qinglian County of Great Wei at an extremely fast speed.
This is a great thing, after all, she is also the boss, half of the benefits can be divided!
However, at the beginning when she suggested that Xuerong cream be sold at half the price of Caizhizhai's lowest-grade facial fat, Huangfu Jin also took her suggestion. According to Mrs. Qin, those hawkers sold Xuerong cream for 18 cents They went, probably because Huangfu Jin stipulated that they were only allowed to earn three Wen a box.
The advantage of doing this is that if the price is fixed, it will avoid vicious competition. It is a protective measure for small traders. It seems that Huangfu Jin is really a conscientious businessman!
No, he is so handsome, he is not a businessman at all, Lin Fufu thought.
Also, from Mrs. Qin's mouth, she also got a piece of news that the snow melting ointment only flows into Qinglian County for the time being, and if it wants to flow into the wider Wei Dynasty, it may be difficult, or the amount of flow will not be too large.
After all, in Dawei, in addition to Caizhizhai, there are many brands that also make rouge gouache very well.
The competitiveness of facial fat in Wei is much higher than that of Bei Rong, which relies on imports from Wei.
Therefore, Xuerong Cream serves low-level customers, and most of the target customers are Beirong people. As for those high-level customers, there are more luxurious products waiting for them.
After the snowmelt paste flowed into Qinglian County, Lin Fufu strengthened his confidence in making high-end rouge powder.
But seeing Mrs. Qin in such distress, Lin Fufu thought about how to help her.
Just thinking about this in her heart, Mrs. Qin suddenly said quietly: "Because my makeup shop hasn't made much money in the past half a month, Caizhizhai sent someone to send me a letter to terminate the contract with me, and let me pay for it." I will no longer be able to sell rouge gouache in Caizhizhai. If my remaining goods cannot be sold out within a month, Caizhizhai will send someone to count them, refund the purchase price to me, and take away all the remaining goods .”
Lin Fufu was dumbfounded, no wonder Mrs. Qin said that she was afraid that she was going to close the shop. It turned out that Caizhizhai saw that the water flow here was not good, so she directly frightened Tong.
Lin Fufu squinted his almond-shaped eyes and tore up the contract when he saw that the flow of water was bad, and he only gave him one month to sell all the remaining goods, and took them back if he couldn't sell them all. , she really despises such ruthlessness.
"Caizhizhai is too impersonal." Lin Fufu curled his lips in displeasure. This is not a long-term way to do business. If she was asked to do it, she would never use such a stupid method. She glanced sympathetically Mrs. Qin, if she left Caizhizhai and started a new one, I don't know how Mrs. Qin would choose
