Lin Fen and Lin Fang stood up immediately after hearing what Lin Fufu said. Lin Fen hadn't recovered from the shock of Lin Fufu asking her to be the big shopkeeper of the newly opened restaurant, and her face was a little dazed.
But Lin Fang said directly: "It's not going to work, my sister and I didn't pay a tael of silver, how can we get any shares? No way..."
Lin Fen finally came back to his senses, and kept waving his hands.
10% of the stock is 10%, Lao Liu asked for 10%, Lin Fufu thought that her family must also take 10% to be fair.
Because Lao Liu let her and Liu Qin play the signboard of Liu Ji Restaurant, he can take up 10% of the shares without paying any money. But how could it be so easy to open a new restaurant? During this period, she and Liu Qin should trust Lin Fen and Lin Fang the most, so Lin Fen and Lin Fang are destined to spend a lot of effort on the new restaurant, so why can't each share Half of the shares
Besides, with such great benefits, Lin Fen and Lin Fangna will definitely devote themselves to their work, which is what she wants to see.
Seeing that Liu Qin was thinking about it, Lin Fufu didn't bother him, but waved at Lin Fen and Lin Fang to signal them to stop talking.
Lin Fen and Lin Fang looked at each other in panic. They were really frightened by Lin Fufu.
Where in this world is there such a good thing
But the fright that followed was even greater.
"Well, Sister Fang is quick-witted. During the days when I worked with me, she didn't make any mistakes. It would be great if she could go to our new restaurant to help us. Sister Fen is the shopkeeper that you personally identified as Gospel. , If you can think about it for me, then you will understand." After Liu Qin thought it over, he smiled, looked at Lin Fufu, and then at Lin Fen and Lin Fang, "I agree."
Therefore, Lin Fen and Lin Fang thought that Mr. Liu was crazy.
"No, brother Liu, in fact, I don't know how to be a shopkeeper at all?" Lin Fen was anxious. It wasn't that she didn't have confidence in herself, but that she couldn't do it at all.
"It's simple, you just go to our Liuji Restaurant to learn from my shopkeeper from tomorrow." Liu Qin thinks this is not a problem.
After all, he is the one Lin Fufu likes, so how can he be out of his wits
Besides, he felt that the old Lin family was really weird, and all the younger generations were not bad.
He deliberately went to the private school in the town to ask. Although Lin Sanlang was a late enlightenment, he is really a talent for reading. The book is very good, and now several teachers in the private school like him very much.
It is said that according to his current diligence and savvy, he may be able to take the test next year.
If you pass the examination as a scholar, what's the deal? There are many scholars in their twenties, but those in their fourteenth and fifteenth years are rare.
There is also that Lin Dalang, although his character is not very good, but his brain is also considered good. If his character is better, then the old Lin family may really make a fortune.
Liu Qin thought a little enviously, could it be that the ancestral graves were buried well, and the ancestral graves were about to smoke.
How wonderful would it be if...you could marry the gospel as your wife
Seeing a strange look in Liu Qin's eyes, Lin Fufu didn't know what he was thinking, so he reached out and touched his elbow, "Hey, what are you thinking? You're back to your senses!"
"Oh? Oh... I didn't think about anything, I didn't think about anything!" Liu Qin returned to his senses, but his face blushed suspiciously, but at this time everyone had their own thoughts, and no one cared whether he blushed or not.
"Okay, since you agree, then please ask someone to write a deed at that time, write down the shares that Uncle Liu, you and I, my sister Fen and sister Fang deserve, and put their fingerprints on each of them." Lin Fufu said neatly. Said.
Liu Qin had no objection, nodded and said: "This is what it should be. I am familiar with these things, and I will prepare them. When the time comes, you can read the gospel, and then it will be a matter of fingerprinting."
Regarding this point, Lin Fufu trusted Liu Qin.
"Then we have to get ready. The first thing is the location of the restaurant." Lin Fufu thought for a while, looked at Liu Qin and asked: "Brother Liu, I see that you are also very familiar with Qinglian County, and there are many brothers and friends here. Over there, the location of the restaurant is also handed over to you."
Liu Qin nodded, but asked a question, "Gospel, if the restaurant is selected, should we lease it or buy it?"
This is also a question that needs to be considered, because the matter was decided hastily, and Lin Fufu didn't think it through for a while.
She looked at Liu Qin, then at Lin Fen and Lin Fang, "I want everyone to think about this together. It's better to buy it or lease it."
"I think this restaurant may not be able to do well, if not, let's rent it." Liu Qin said.
Lin Fang thought for a while, and said, "Although I don't understand that, I think Brother Liu's words are very reasonable. If the business is not doing well, it's better to change the location and start again."
Lin Fufu looked at Lin Fen, "Sister Fen, what do you think?"
Seeing Lin Fufu looking at her, Lin Fen was a little dazed, but she came back to her senses for a moment. She blushed slightly and said, "Actually, if I have money, I think it's better to buy it. Since I'm going to open a restaurant, it's all right." I went with the intention of being able to drive it, how could I be afraid that it would not work before I started?"
After hearing Lin Fen's words, Lin Fufu laughed.
But I heard Lin Fen continue to say: "Besides, the restaurant has opened and the business is booming. I'm afraid it will be troublesome when renting it? So, if you have money, buy it, and if you don't have money, you can rent it."
"Yes, I think the same as Sister Fen." Lin Fufu smiled, and then looked at Liu Qin, "If you like it, I can pay all the money from the shop."
Liu Qin thought for a while, although what Lin Fen said was reasonable, and he now agrees, but it would cost a lot of money to buy a big three-story wooden shop in Qinglian County, and he had to prepare for it. Part of it was kept for his brothers, so they couldn't move it.
Liu Qin thought about it, and was also worried that Lin Fufu would not be able to come up with so much money, so he looked at Lin Fufu, "Fufu, do you know how much it will cost to buy a restaurant as big as my restaurant in Qinglian County? "
"Brother Liu, tell me, how much money can your restaurant sell now?" Lin Fufu asked back.
"This number." Liu Qin compared one hand to Lin Fufu, that is, five fingers.
Lin Fufu nodded, "Five thousand taels of silver?"
Five thousand taels of silver is actually nothing to the current Liu Ji restaurant, but it is still a large amount to the current Lin Fufu.
Besides, the price of shops in Qinglian County is not only twice as high as that in the town
"Looking at Gospel, we want to buy a restaurant that is bigger than my family's, for example, as big and elegant as Yueke Restaurant. Without this amount, we can't do it." Liu Qin gestured towards Lin Fufu again.
Lin Fufu nodded. Liu Qin estimated that a restaurant as big as Yueke Restaurant would cost at least 20,000 taels of silver. Lin Fufu really couldn't afford it.
But now Liu Qin obviously doesn't want to show it.
In fact, if Liu Qin had more money, he would be willing, but he has just been in the business of fresh broad beans and bean sprouts for a short time now, even if he still has to hand over half of the money he earns to Lao Liu, so speaking of it, he is also Not enough silver.
What's more, even if it is really bought, it has to be redecorated, which is a lot of money.
After trying to understand this, several people fell silent.
"Okay, it's not like going to the county to buy it now, but we have to inquire about it, and we won't go until the next year." Lin Fufu said to them, and comforted them, "We still have business in the meantime, and we still have to do business. You can earn a lot of money, so don’t worry.”
"Well, anyway, I'll write to Chang Ning to ask Chang Ning to help us find out, and get ready first." Liu Qin said.
Lin Fufu nodded.
Liu Qin looked up at the sky outside, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, and there's nothing to do in the second half of the day, you all take it easy."
Stand up after speaking, lift your feet and walk.
Sisters Lin Fufu and Lin Fen stood up to see him off.
"I didn't know at first, I thought it would be a great thing to open a restaurant, but when I really started to prepare, why is it so difficult?" After sending Liu Qin away, Lin Fang looked at Lin Fufu helplessly.
Lin Fufu looked up at the blue sky and saw a few white clouds drifting away leisurely, but his heart was peaceful.
Then he turned his head and smiled at Lin Fang, "Don't worry, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. There is always a way. There is an old saying that the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, so we should do the things at hand well first. "
"That's the reason." Lin Fen nodded with a smile, and stretched out her hand to pull Lin Fang, "Stop whining, Ah Fang, let's take it step by step."
The three sisters looked at each other and smiled.
But because of the money issue, Lin Fufu still has thoughts after all.
Liu Qin has already said that the price of fresh broad beans has dropped, just like bean sprouts, the income will gradually decline, but the Chinese New Year is just over a month away. Less than twenty thousand taels of silver.
It seems that I have to find a way to earn money.
Lin Fufu thought of her cosmeceuticals again.
These days, every time she has free time, she is thinking about cosmeceuticals.
If you think about it carefully, in fact, if you want to make cosmeceuticals, you can basically use the method of making rouge gouache by the ancients and the extracts of Chinese medicinal materials extracted by modern technology.
But she hasn't done it yet, so she doesn't know if it will work.
Lin Fufu thought of the sweet-scented osmanthus stamens that he and sister Lin Fen had collected in autumn, so he wanted to try it out.
Anyway, she's been thinking about this for a long time, and now she just needs to prepare some necessary tools.
On the second day, Lin Fufu began to prepare tools. First, he took out a small cloth bag of dried osmanthus stamens, bought a large iron pot, bought a jar of white wine, a few clay pots and a few piece of rope.
First: Weigh a pound of dried osmanthus stamens, clean them, put them in a pot and dry them over low heat, and then put the dried osmanthus stamens in a newly purchased large pot. Step 2: Weigh out ten catties of water and put it into a large iron pot, then heat it up until it boils. After holding on for an hour, a layer of extract appears at the bottom of the pot. Put it in a porcelain jar.
Extracts generally refer to spice products extracted from spice plant tissues, such as flowers, leaves, branches, stem bark, roots, fruits, etc.
Step 3: Weigh another ten catties of water and put it in, heat it to boil again, and continue for an hour.
The extract obtained by heating for the second time is less than the first time. Scrape it up again and put it in a large porcelain bottle.
the fourth step:
After scraping up the extract obtained for the second time, Lin Fufu put another ten catties of water into the cauldron and heated it for another hour. When the time was up, Lin Fufu lifted the lid of the pot and saw that there was less extract this time, so he scraped it up and put it in a large porcelain bottle.
The extracts added up three times are already quite a lot, Lin Fufu put these extracts aside to cool down.
Lin Fang went to the shop to do business in fresh broad beans and bean sprouts. Lin Fen was at home watching Lin Fufu hide in the room she specially carved out for a whole noon, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
When she entered the room, she smelled the strong sweet scent of osmanthus, and she asked in surprise, "Gospel, what are you doing?"
"I'm making a face powder." Lin Fufu smiled mysteriously, "I'm making a face powder that is good for the skin. When it's ready, you can use it first."
Lin Fen looked at the cauldron and the firewood on the ground, and asked worriedly: "Is this going to work? Could it be that you want to make sweet-scented osmanthus scented powder?"
"Yes." Lin Fufu nodded, "It's almost half done, and it should be done today. Sister Fen, come and help me after lunch."
Although Lin Fen was very skeptical, he agreed to Lin Fufu without asking any questions.
After Lin Fufu and Lin Fen finished their lunch, they brought Lin Fen into her "laboratory".
"Sister Fen, help me grind these jasmine seeds into powder." Lin Fufu handed the ten catties of jasmine seeds newly bought today to Lin Fen, "You can use a scale to weigh out one catty and grind it into powder."
"Okay, this is simple." Lin Fen took it, and then went outside to find a stone mill.
It also happened that there was a stone mill in Lin Fufu's house.
On the other hand, Lin Fufu poured the white wine into the cooled osmanthus extract and stirred it up. After the stirring was almost done, he put it there again to let it settle.
After a while Lin Fen came over with a big bowl full of jasmine powder.
Lin Fufu rubbed it with his fingers, and it turned out white and even, and rubbed it on the back of his hand, and it became fair and moisturizing.
"This powder is really good. I got some on my hands, and it's really comfortable to wipe on the back of my hands." Lin Fen said, and then said with a frown: "It seems that you can really make a face powder for Gospel, but if you want What are you doing with osmanthus?"
"Sister Fen, I've seen you and Sister Fang squeeze honey out of clay pots, and now you can help me squeeze the osmanthus honey I made out of clay pots." Lin Fufu said.
"It's easy, I'll help you." Lin Fen was naturally happy to help Lin Fufu.
She poured the sweet-scented osmanthus extract into the prepared clay pot, and handed it to Lin Fen. Lin Fen neatly tied one end of the rope to the pot, held the other end of the rope, and swung the pot quickly. .
This is the wisdom of the ancients, which is the original use of centrifugal force.
In the end, Lin Fufu got the purest sweet-scented osmanthus extract.
Of course, the production process is still very complicated, but the final result is good. With the experience of successfully extracting the sweet-scented osmanthus extract, she can replicate this successful experience and extract the extracts of other spices and Chinese medicinal materials. .
Although it requires a lot of labor, as long as it is successfully extracted once, it can be used for a long time.
For example, to make a pound of face powder, she only needs to add a few drops of sweet-scented osmanthus extract.
"Gospel, is this all right?" Lin Fen asked excitedly.
Lin Fufu shook his head and said with a smile, "There is one last hurdle."
She poured the jasmine powder ground by Lin Fen into a large porcelain bottle, then added a few drops of sweet-scented osmanthus extract, boiled the white wine with water, poured the evaporated white wine into the large porcelain bottle, and then poured half of the bottle Cool boiled water and continue to stir.
When the stirring was almost done, Lin Fufu put the big porcelain bottle aside and let it stand.
"Gospel, this face powder is so troublesome to make, no wonder such a small box costs tens of pennies." Lin Fen sighed.
Lin Fufu smiled, "A small box of incense powder worth tens of pennies? That is the worst. There are also good incense powders worth tens of taels of silver in a small box."
Lin Fen nodded, thinking of the good news, why did he think of doing this? Dai Mei frowned slightly, looked at Lin Fufu and asked: "Hey, Fufu, why did you think of making face powder? There are still several boxes of the face powder you gave me and A Fang, you need me to bring it to you. "
It was the incense powder that Mrs. Qin gave Lin Fufu last time. Lin Fufu felt that he was young and didn't need to use those at all, so he gave all of them to Lin Fen and Lin Fang.
"I don't want to use face powder, I want to earn money." Lin Fufu winked at Lin Fen, "I didn't add any bad things to the face powder I made, on the contrary, I added good things , so for such a small box of incense powder, I have to sell it for a dozen taels of silver, which is the lowest."
"Gospel..." Lin Fen gasped, looked at Lin Fufu, and then at the large porcelain vase lying aside. A small box of more than ten taels of silver?"
Lin Fufu nodded confidently, "I said yes."
"Then...then how do we sell it?" Lin Fen frowned sadly, looked at Lin Fufu and said, "We have no customers at all."
Hearing this, Lin Fufu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, yes, I've already found someone to help me sell incense powder."
"who is it?"
"Miss Qin." Lin Fufu's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lin Fen with a smile.
Lin Fen blinked, and suddenly remembered, "You mean, that Mrs. Qin who specializes in selling Caizhizhai rouge powder?"
"It's her, she no longer sells Caizhizhai's rouge and gouache." Lin Fufu's eyes were shining, he looked at Lin Fen and said: "I have already agreed with her, when I make a new rouge powder , take it directly to her store to sell, and she will not buy other cosmetics, and only sell my family's cosmetics."
When Lin Fufu said this, Lin Fen gained confidence, no wonder...
"It turns out that you have already thought about the gospel and prepared it." Lin Fen was very excited, this is another very profitable way.
If the business is really successful, wouldn't it be dozens of times more profitable than the bean sprouts and fresh broad beans business
"Gospel, no wonder you don't worry about buying money from restaurants..." Lin Fen cried with joy.
Lin Fufu walked over and hugged her, "Why are you crying? As I said, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. I originally planned to go to Qinglian County to stabilize it before doing this, but now I am in urgent need of money, so I made it now .”
Lin Fen also hugged Lin Fufu and nodded fiercely.
Lin Fufu tightly clenched his fists, as long as he is willing to use his brain and try, there is nothing difficult.
She looked at the big porcelain vase quietly placed on the table and smiled, she will have something to gain in the morning...
