Being asked such a straightforward question, those female customers who tried it but never bought it became a little embarrassed, and they all blamed Mrs. Cheng for not having a backache while standing and talking, and not everyone is as good at it as her man is. Money earners.
Not everyone can afford a box of twenty-eight taels of incense powder.
But among the female customers who didn't buy it, there are also some silver, which is reluctant to part with pure pieces.
Mrs. Qin obviously knew the thoughts of all kinds of customers very well, so she smiled at everyone: "Then let me tell you first, this time the goods are only a few dozen boxes, and I don't know when the next time I will buy them, so I will just buy them." If you want to enter, it depends on whether the master is willing to spend a lot of effort to do it."
"Oh, Mrs. Qin, why didn't you say so earlier? Then I'll buy another box!" After hearing what Mrs. Qin said, Mrs. Cheng immediately asked the maid who accompanied her to pay for more money.
Those female customers who had money and were reluctant to buy it heard this, so they gritted their teeth and bought it first.
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she immediately sold more than a dozen boxes of jasmine powder. The delighted Mrs. Qin couldn't see her teeth.
In the end, the rest were ordinary female customers who really couldn't afford a box of incense powder with dozens of taels of silver.
Just this time, nearly twenty boxes of jasmine powder were sold, which is already a very impressive achievement.
Lin Fufu pursed her lips and smiled happily. After there were fewer customers, she went up to say hello to Mrs. Qin and left her makeup shop.
This time she was going to the doctor's clinic at Dr. Li's house.
"Fufu, why are you here?" Seeing Lin Fufu coming, Li immediately walked out from behind the traditional Chinese medicine cabinet and looked at her in surprise.
Lin Fufu greeted him with a smile, and then said, "I want to buy a batch of the best fresh ginseng, which doesn't need to be too old. I'll also ask for a batch of dried astragalus, angelica, codonopsis, and sealwort."
"These are all tonics? Gospel, what do you want them for?" Li Yi looked at her worriedly, "You also know how to heal, and you know that your body can't be supplemented randomly..."
Seeing that Li Yi misunderstood, Lin Fufu covered his mouth and laughed, looking at Li Yidao: "Don't worry, I'm not using it to make up your body. Didn't I tell you last time that I want to make rouge powder? Bought for materials."
Li Yi is a good person, and he cares about her like a big brother. He always thinks of her, and she doesn't want to hide it from him.
Although there is no need to tell her the specific steps of making rouge and gouache, it is better to tell him what she is doing.
"Make rouge powder? Use these medicinal materials?" Li Yi's eyes widened, and then he laughed again, "Gospel, what kind of whimsical ideas do you have in your head? Last time you said that clear oil can be used to make rouge powder, now Are you going to use herbs again?"
There was no other meaning in Li Yi's tone, but a little helpless and doting.
Lin Fufu glanced at him, and said softly: "In fact, the one that uses clear oil has already been made, and the popular snow melting ointment is now on sale."
"Ah? Xuerong ointment?" Li Yi's eyes widened, and he said in a daze, "I also use Xuerong ointment. It's very good for wiping hands in the cold weather. I even bought it for my master and my eighth uncle." It's a box."
Lin Fufu smiled and asked, "Is it easy to use?"
"It's easy to use! Your hands are no longer chapped." Li Yi laughed cheerfully, without any doubts about Lin Fufu's words, "Oh, then why didn't you tell me when you finished it? Hey, that's not right..."
Seeing that he finally came to his senses, Lin Fufu couldn't help bending over and laughing, "There's nothing wrong with it. After I made it, I partnered with others to start the snow melting cream business, so you didn't see me doing it again."
"So that's how it is." Li nodded, and said without further ado, "Since you want it, then I'll send a letter to our ancestral house and ask them to bring you the best herbs. Take your pick."
Li Yi's righteousness moved Lin Fufu very much.
"It's a good feeling. When I make a new rouge powder, I will give Brother Li the best one." Lin Fufu said happily.
When Li heard that she was going to give him rouge powder, he couldn't help laughing, "What do I, a big man, want rouge powder for? Just give me a few more boxes of snow melting cream."
Lin Fufu smiled, "That's no problem."
"Oh, by the way, if Brother Li sees jasmine seeds, no matter if they are white jasmine or purple jasmine seeds, buy them all for me. I need a lot of them." Lin Fufu warned again.
"Okay." Li Yi hurriedly agreed.
At this time, an apprentice came to call Li Yi, and Li Yi agreed. Seeing that he was really busy, Lin Fufu thanked him, said a few words, and left.
When she returned to her house, Lin Fen and Lin Fang had already ground the remaining nine catties of jasmine seeds into powder, and boiled several catties of dried sweet-scented osmanthus to make an extract.
As for the rest of the steps, I had no choice but to wait for Lin Fufu to come back.
Seeing their high enthusiasm, Lin Fufu couldn't help laughing.
According to the steps of making jasmine powder for the first time, the nine catties of jasmine powder were made into jasmine powder and placed there.
"Gospel, does Mrs. Qin like our jasmine powder?" After coming out of the laboratory, Lin Fang couldn't wait to ask.
"Guess." Lin Fufu made a fool of himself.
Lin Fen laughed, pointed at Lin Fufu's face and said, "Seeing how happy you are, it's hard to guess? It must be that Mrs. Qin likes our Mogui powder very much!"
"Actually, I just came back now to see Mrs. Qin selling our jasmine powder." Lin Fufu frowned, and under the expectant eyes of Lin Fen, he said with a smile: "I just watched half a cup of tea." Well, nineteen boxes of jasmine powder have already been sold!"
"Ah! That is to say, our jasmine powder is very popular with the guests?" Lin Fang jumped up, then turned around and held Lin Fen's hands tightly, both of them were so happy that they almost shed tears.
Seeing the exaggeration of these two people, Lin Fufu couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed. "The guests like it very much. Our jasmine powder is always good."
"Yes, that's right!" Lin Fen also nodded excitedly, "The jasmine powder made by Gospel is really good! It sells so well, why don't we make more?"
Lin Fen anxiously asked Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu shook his head with a smile, "Besides, I'm so old today, more than a month is enough. Face powder doesn't work as quickly as face fat, and I can do other things during this time."
"That's good too." Lin Fen nodded.
Their sisters are now sisters with Lin Fufu, so they naturally hope that the Gospel will get better and better.
Lin Fang seemed to think of something at this moment, so she looked at Lin Fufu with bright eyes and asked, "Fufu, how much money should we give Miss Qin?"
Following Lin Fufu in the following days, Lin Fang's vision has broadened, and her thoughts have become much bigger. She doesn't even think about a box of incense powder worth tens of pennies.
In her mind, as good as the incense powder made by her family's Gospel, it should cost at least ten taels of silver a box.
Seeing that Lin Fen was also looking at her, Lin Fufu said a few words silently: "A box of twenty taels of silver."
"Wow!" Lin Fang and Lin Fang cheered, even happier than New Year's Eve.
"It's really like the Gospel said, this jasmine powder really sold for dozens of taels of silver a box!" Lin Fang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
"This time, the porcelain bottle of incense powder contains sixty-eight boxes of incense powder, totaling 1,360 taels of silver. Mrs. Qin has already paid me in advance, and promised to pay the silver in advance for the previous batches of incense powder. Give it to me." Lin Fufu told them this, which also meant to give them confidence.
After hearing Lin Fufu's words, sisters Lin Fen's eyes lit up.
"So, you see, these difficulties are temporary, as long as you are willing to use your brain, you can definitely find a way." Lin Fufu said again.
These words are actually to motivate them, so that they will not give up easily no matter what difficulties they encounter.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she has lived two lifetimes and still has thousands of years of cultural essence stored in her mind, she probably would have been helpless.
But her words really inspired Sister Lin Fen, and the two of them had a look of fortitude in their eyes, and then they nodded heavily.
"Okay, let's wait and see tomorrow." Lin Fufu waved to the two, "Now let's go to the shop to have a look at the fresh broad beans and bean sprouts."
After arriving at the shop, everything was in order. When they saw the three sisters coming, the villagers of Hulu Village greeted them kindly.
Seeing that everything was fine, Lin Fufu took the two sisters to the workshop that Liu Qin rented.
Liu Qin now spends most of his time in his workshop. After all, the scale there is much larger than hers, and there are many workers there, so they need to be guarded.
As soon as he came out of the shop, Doutou met Liu Qin who came in a hurry.
"Oh, where are you sisters going?" Liu Qin grinned when he saw them.
"Unfortunately, I was going to Brother Liu." Lin Fang replied first, and after saying this, she lowered her head, and her ears turned red before she knew it.
Today Liu Qin was wearing a brand-new royal blue robe. He looked capable and handsome, and he looked more and more romantic.
Lin Fufu did not notice Lin Fang, and raised his head and asked, "Brother Liu, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Liu Qin said: "Or my old man asked me to give you money in a hurry? I have to go to my workshop to watch after the money is delivered. Today, the brothers and their families are not feeling well, so they all went back. "
Lin Fufu hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with their family, can they see a doctor?"
Seeing that Lin Fufu related to his brother, Liu Qin was in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "Hey, the family is either an old man or a child. It's getting colder and colder, so it's getting sick? The poor family can afford a doctor. How much money do I give each person?" Ten pennies, and sent them to buy medicine for the sick at home."
Hearing this, Lin Fufu frowned, ignoring the doctor's random buying of medicines, this is not going to work.
"Okay, this kind of thing happens every day, you can't worry about it." Seeing Lin Fufu's frowning, Liu Qin knew that her habit of being a doctor had been brought out again, so he couldn't help persuading her.
In his eyes, there are a lot of pitiful people in this world, who can't be saved, so what is this serious illness and minor disaster
It is nosy that he can give a few tens of pennies to buy medicine for them.
After hearing what he said, Lin Fufu put the matter aside, looked at him and asked, "What money did you send me again?"
Liu Qin took out a new purse from his arms, "Didn't you ask my father to send someone to collect cabbage in your field? I went back and told him, and he couldn't wait to send someone there. Hulu Village found your second uncle and second aunt, took a big cart and came back."
Lin Fufu thought about it, so it was this matter. Although the white cabbage was also a rare item, Lin Fufu didn't expect to sell it for much money, so he didn't take it to heart.
"Hey, this is three hundred and eighty-four taels of silver. A total of 1,280 catties of cabbage was collected yesterday, and my father will still give you 30 Wen per catty." Liu Qin handed the purse to Lin Gospel, make the accounts clear to her.
"This catty of cabbage sells for 30 Wen?" Lin Fen subconsciously exclaimed, then felt that this question was not a good one, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Liu Qin said: "Isn't it thirty cents a catty? In normal times, no one would buy it for one penny and three catties, right? But who said it's already winter? When you go out, your breath freezes, where is it?" Can fresh vegetables not be frozen to death? Isn’t it the cabbage planted by the Gospel that is not afraid of freezing to death?”
Lin Fen nodded, she could think of this.
Rare things are more expensive.
Bean sprouts are the same as fresh broad beans.
"My father sells a plate of cabbage for one or two taels of silver. Giving you thirty cents a catty is not considered taking care of you, so you can accept it with peace of mind." Liu Qin said to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu was actually shocked by thirty Wen a catty. She thought it would be expensive even if she sold it for more than a dozen Wen a catty. Unexpectedly, what Lao Liu gave was thirty Wen a catty.
"Uncle Liu took care of me." Lin Fufu said sincerely.
Liu Qin sneered, glanced at the three sisters carelessly, and said, "You guys are thinking too simple, the businessmen are not so kind, my father plans to buy all your cabbage, so that our restaurant can The cabbage is sold, anyway, the cabbage will not go bad, he will keep it and sell it slowly, and he can sell it until the beginning of spring tomorrow."
This is true, but even if Lin Fufu knew that old Liu had other thoughts, she didn't think it was a problem. She was originally on the same boat, and she also hoped that everyone who was on the same boat as her would get better and better.
So she took the purse with a smile, and then shook the purse in Lin Fen and Lin Fang.
Lin Fen and Lin Fang smiled knowingly at her, that is to say, they bought a restaurant in Qinglian County with a few hundred more money.
Seeing that Lin Fufu received the money, Liu Qin said again: "My father asked me to tell you that he sent a few carriages today to collect almost all the cabbages in your field. The rest of the money will come tomorrow." For you."
"Success." Lin Fufu agreed.
"I heard that there are still some small ones that haven't grown well, so can they grow up if they stay in the field?" Liu Qin thought for a while, and suddenly asked gossip.
"Why are you worrying about farm affairs?" Lin Fufu asked with a smile.
Liu Qin rubbed the back of his head, narrowed his eyes and said, "I was just thinking, if we can continue to grow up, we won't have to ask my father to buy it when we open a restaurant in the county in the spring."
After hearing Liu Qin's words, Lin Fufu shook his head and laughed.
This is really good for father and son.
But what Liu Qin said was right. When she returned to Calabash Village, she would go to the field to see if she could still raise it well.
"I'll go back to Calabash Village to look at the fields, so you don't have to worry about it." Lin Fufu smiled.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Liu Qin said goodbye to the three sisters.
Lin Fufu has nothing to do.
Suddenly, she remembered the idea of selling salted peanuts and spiced broad beans that she thought of last time at Mochizuki Tower.
Anyway, it's fine now, and Sister Lin Fen is by my side again, so I can do it now.
Although there was an accident at the Moon Tower last time, the common people in the town have no place for entertainment other than these places. So after the Moon Tower is repaired, there will be a lot of guests at the Goulan House.
"Sister Fang, how many dried broad beans are left at home? And last time I asked the big girls to collect dried peanuts and dried peas, are they still harvesting?" Lin Fufu asked Lin Fang.
Because Lin Fang was in the town with Lin Fang during this time, all these were left to Lin Fang to take care of.
Seeing her question, Lin Fang replied neatly: "We have a lot of dried broad beans and dried peanuts in our shop. These days, Da Ya and Da Ya Niang have been helping us collect them."
Lin Fufu nodded in satisfaction, looked at the two sisters and said, "Come on, let's go to the grocery store to buy some salt and seasonings."
"Don't you have more at home? What are you going to buy again?" Lin Fang thought that Lin Fufu was bored and wanted to go shopping.
On the contrary, Lin Fen looked farther, glared at Lin Fang, and said angrily, "Don't Gospel have her reasons for everything? You're the only one who talks too much."
Being offended by her sister, Lin Fang was not angry, stuck out her tongue at Lin Fen and stopped talking.
Lin Fufu took the two sisters to the grocery store and bought twenty catties of salt, two catties of star anise, two catties of cumin, two catties of cinnamon, one catty of fragrant leaves, one catty of Angelica dahurica, and one catty of fragrant slices.
Then I went to Li's Medical Center again to buy a few catties of licorice and a few catties of new astragalus.
Then Lin Fen and Lin Fang pushed several bags of dried peas, broad beans and dried peanuts from the shop back to the house with their wheelbarrows.
Lin Fufu ordered Lin Fen and Lin Fang to fetch well water and wash the dried broad beans, dried peas, and dried peanuts carefully.
After cleaning, beat it again with a mallet to break the dried broad beans and dried peanuts,
Then I went to boil several large iron pots of boiling water, scooped the boiling water into several empty water tanks in the yard, and soaked the washed dried broad beans and dried peanuts in the water tanks.
The cleaned and dried peas are boiled in boiling water, then picked up and drained, and put on the heated kang to dry.
Both Lin Fen and Lin Fang didn't understand what Lin Fufu did, but Lin Fufu asked them to remember this step by step.
The two sisters also vaguely knew that Lin Fufu was teaching them something again, and they both remembered to be serious.
Dried broad beans and dried peanuts need to be soaked for a long time, but the cooked dried peas have already been dried on the kang.
Lin Fufu smiled and called Lin Fang, "Sister Fang, move the lard pot at home to the pot, and I will make you some rare snacks."
Lin Fang was still young after all, and immediately went away happily after hearing the words.
Lin Fufu looked at Lin Fen again and said: "Sister Fang, I guess this jar of lard is not enough, you can buy some lard from the pork case, no matter how much you buy, and put the money in my room, you take it from the purse." Just go."
"Ah, no, what are we going to do? Can we get so much lard?" Lin Fen asked.
