No matter what, Lin Fufu felt that Mrs. Song was definitely not thinking of her, and must have her own purpose.
But the official's wife has already talked about this, if she still doesn't agree, it will appear that she doesn't know how to flatter her.
"Okay, Mama Qiu thanked Madam for me!" Lin Fufu hooked the corners of his lips. Although the old man was very upset, she came to give her a red envelope, so he reached out and took out a couple of them. The broken silver ingot sent her away.
Mother Qiu didn't expect Lin Fufu, a country girl, to offer a tael of silver as a reward, her old eyes flickered.
It seems that not only her, but also her master underestimated this girl, and she must tell Madam when she goes back that the reward in the red envelope is still short...
After sending Qiu's mother away, Lin Fufu opened the thin red envelope and took a look. Inside was a fifty-two denomination bank note.
The corner of her lips twitched again.
This Mrs. Song is not generous, but fifty taels of red envelopes for her delivery is not a small amount, but it is not enough if you count life-saving ones.
But Lin Fufu is not someone who cares about this, she just sees certain qualities of Mrs. Song through the red seal.
Lin Fufu put the red sleeve into the inner lining of his wrist, then turned and went out. Just as she was locking the door, Mrs. Qin came running in a hurry.
Seeing her running so fast, Lin Fufu smiled.
Mrs. Qin came here in such a hurry, so she naturally came to her to ask for jasmine powder.
She reopened the gate, and stood by the gate to wait for Mrs. Qin.
"Gospel, gospel... It's a good thing you haven't left yet!" Mrs. Qin started yelling before she approached, regardless of the occasional passers-by who looked at her in surprise.
"Ms. Qin, please slow down." Lin Fufu smiled, then let her into the yard, stretched out his hand and led her into the house, "But the jasmine powder is sold out again?"
Mrs. Qin took a deep breath, frowned and said: "Isn't it! This time, no customers have bought bulk goods, but everyone has bought three or two boxes, and I don't know if I may not be able to buy them in the future. Or because I want to send someone I like to go.”
"It's selling pretty fast." Lin Fufu nodded and asked, "Then Miss Qin, do you know which wife is the one who buys the jasmine powder?"
Mrs. Qin nodded, "Many of them are returning customers, and most of them are wives of merchants."
"That's it. The wife of the merchant's family bought jasmine powder as a gift." Lin Fufu thought of this, and the smile on his face deepened.
This is a good sign, the wives of those merchants must not be gifted by simple people. In this way, it will be very beneficial for her to launch cosmeceuticals in the future.
At least this first step has been taken.
"If it's true what Madam said, then I'll wait for this jasmine powder to be sold to the whole of Wei." Mrs. Qin smiled until her eyes narrowed into lines.
Lin Fufu said confidently: "Of course, when I make more useful rouge and gouache, Miss Qin, just wait until you get cramps while counting the silver."
"Okay, I'll wait!" Mrs. Qin replied cheerfully, then looked at Lin Fufu and said, "Then you have to give me a big bottle of jasmine powder now!"
Lin Fufu still had eight big bottles at home, so he said straightforwardly: "Here are two big bottles for you, you can carry them back by yourself."
"Of course, I'll go back with two big bottles today. I'll come back tomorrow." Mrs. Qin knew that she still had them at home as soon as she heard Lin Fufu said so easily, and she was very happy.
Lin Fufu nodded, and said honestly, "I still have eight large porcelain vases at home. You can come and get them if you are convenient these few days, or ask the waiter in the shop to get them."
"Don't! I'll do it myself. If I let them do it, who will I cry to if it breaks it rashly? Well, I'll get it by myself tomorrow." Lady Qin squinted her eyes and smiled, then told Lin Fufu : "Gospel, you have to hurry up and make more for me. I reckon that in the next few days, those noble people will think it is good, and it may not be necessary to buy in large quantities."
Lin Fufu nodded, calmly reassuring Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin remembered something, and said to Lin Fufu: "Hey, yes, Gospel, two shopkeepers who opened a rouge gouache shop came to my shop yesterday to inquire about the source of jasmine powder. Let me tell you, After I sell it for another month, you can make more, and you can sell it to other makeup shops."
These words warmed Lin Fufu's heart. Mrs. Qin was really thinking about her.
"Let's talk about it. I really want to sell it to other makeup shops. I will also sell this product to them in your shop, but I will add silver to the price of each box. If I sell a box, I will give you another tael of silver." Lin Fufu said that she had thought about these things before.
Mrs. Qin has made a lot of money from Lin Fufu's jasmine powder in the past few days, and now she is even happier to see Lin Fufu trusting her so much.
"Success, when the time comes, I'll sell it for you, and I promise to make you a lot of money!" Lady Qin said with a smile.
Lin Fufu nodded with a smile, and then Mrs. Qin took out a banknote of three thousand taels of silver from her body and handed it to Lin Fufu, "There were seventy-two boxes of powder in the big porcelain vase yesterday, I'd better give you some more first." Yinzi, I can't let you lose."
Lin Fufu thought about it, and then took it. This time, she didn't refuse, but said, "Then you don't need to add money to the next few big bottles."
Mrs. Qin also had the same thought, so she smiled and said: "Then if there is more, it will be cheaper for me. If it is less, I will not lose money. Anyway, the money I have earned these days makes me want to wake up from my dreams."
What Mrs. Qin said is not an exaggeration, the main reason is that the good reputation of this jasmine powder has gradually spread, and the guests come here because of the reputation, so there is no need for her to spend more money to promote it.
Lin Fufu thought that Mrs. Qin would take out several thousand taels of silver, and without blinking her eyes, she knew that although she was alone, she must have a lot of silver in her body.
Thinking that she will move to Qinglian County next year, she naturally wants to bring Mrs. Qin to the county, at least let her also buy a house and shop in the county.
In this case, it is to let a talent like Mrs. Qin who can manage the rouge and gouache business take root in the county, and then help her promote her cosmeceuticals...
After Lin Fufu thought about it carefully, he said to Mrs. Qin: "I'm planning to move to Qinglian County next spring. I've already bought the house, and I'm saving up money to buy a shop. I want to ask Mrs. Qin, do you Would you like to go to the county with me?"
To Lin Fufu's surprise, Mrs. Qin didn't give up at all, but her eyes lit up.
"Hey, I've wanted to go to the county for a long time... The population of the county is more than ten times larger than that of the town, and there are more rich people. Who doesn't want to go for business?" Qin Niangzi said excitedly, and then looked The light in the house went out again, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know whose way you went to buy a house in the county, but I have no way."
Lady Qin is telling the truth. In fact, a few years ago, she was able to buy a house in the county. After several years of operation, it is also possible to buy a bigger shop in the county. But she really has no way out.
So, when Lin Fufu said that she bought a house in the county, she was really envious.
After hearing Mrs. Qin's words, Lin Fufu remembered that Mrs. Jiang's old housekeeper said that Mrs. Jiang still had a few properties in the county. Maybe there really was a house and shop suitable for Mrs. Qin.
So she looked at Mrs. Qin with bright eyes and said: "I do know someone who wants to find a property in the county. Let me ask you first, and if there is one, I will tell you."
Lin Fufu planned to find Mrs. Jiang's old housekeeper for Mrs. Qin to find out if there was any suitable smaller house and shop for sale. It would be okay if the house was bigger, but Mrs. Qin might not be willing to buy a shop so expensive.
After all, Mrs. Qin is the only one now. For the future life or for the future retirement, she must be more willing to save more money.
When Mrs. Qin heard Lin Fufu's words, she stepped forward and held her hand very moved, and said: "I didn't cultivate a good life in the first half of my life, but I met you in the second half of my life... You are so considerate of me, just say no." If you're extra careful, those nephews and nieces from my natal family can't compare!"
Up to now, Lady Qin has a feeling for Lin Fufu that is similar to that of a relative.
When Lin Fufu heard her say this, he felt a little embarrassed. In fact, the reason why she helped Mrs. Qin in this way was because she liked her talent.
But she also thought, if Mrs. Qin is willing, when she gets old, she will take care of her and treat her like a relative.
Thinking of this, Lin Fufu felt that he was getting closer to Mrs. Qin.
After the two talked affectionately for a while, Mrs. Qin carefully carried the two white porcelain bottles back.
Lin Fufu continued to plan to go to Li's Medical Clinic. Since Mrs. Qin expected that the jasmine powder would sell better in the next few days, she hurriedly made a second batch of jasmine powder.
A porcelain bottle of jasmine powder can be sold for more than one thousand taels of silver. To be honest, this is the real money.
I don't know how many times this profit has been multiplied, and I am afraid that no one will believe it.
But the process of making jasmine powder is more complicated than Da Wei's process of making incense powder, so Lin Fufu can earn the money with peace of mind.
When she arrived at the Li Family Medical Center, Li Yi hurriedly greeted her when she saw her.
"Gospel, it's just in time for you to come. You asked me to pay attention to the jasmine seeds last morning. I have some clues this morning. My Li family's medical center in Ning County just collected hundreds of catties of white jasmine seeds picked this year. , I intend to send a letter to send them all to the town."
As soon as Lin Fufu heard about Ning County, he remembered that Mrs. Song, the county magistrate of Ning County, invited her to have a drink, and immediately said, "No, I'm going to Ning County in a few days, and I just happened to bring back those jasmine seeds."
As soon as Li heard that she was going to Ning County, he asked in surprise: "Gospel, why do you go to Ning County so well?"
He subconsciously thought that it was because Lin Fufu disliked that the shops in Qinglian County were too expensive, so he chose to go to Ning County for the next best thing.
"Gospel, Ning County is not as rich as Qinglian County. Our Qinglian County is the most important county in the Northwest of the Great Wei Dynasty, and our Qingyang County is the first town in the Northwest. This is not just for fun. Ning County is not as good as Qinglian County. From Lian County, you must go to Qinglian County to open a restaurant is a wise plan." Li Yi became anxious, and his voice became hurried.
Seeing her nervousness, Lin Fufu smiled, "Brother Li, it's not that I want to open a restaurant in Ning County. I still have some knowledge about this."
When Li Yi heard that she was not going to open a restaurant in Ning County, he felt relieved, and raised his eyebrows and asked her: "Then what are you going to do in Ning County? Could it be that you are going to Ning County to collect jasmine seeds?"
"Ah, I'm going to Ning County to participate in the three baptisms of the grandson of the county magistrate's family." After Lin Fufu finished speaking, he stared at Li Yi and asked, "Brother Li, you just said that I went to Ning County to collect jasmine seeds. Could it be that Ning County is rich in jasmine?"
"I also heard this from the old shopkeeper of our medical clinic early this morning. He said that the villagers in several villages in the western suburbs of Ning County are good at growing jasmine, and then sold the jasmine flowers, roots and seeds to us who run the medical clinic. In exchange for an income." Li Yi seriously explained to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu knows that jasmine flower, root and seed can be used as medicine. Jasmine flower has the functions of promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, clearing heat and dampness, detoxifying and reducing swelling. And jasmine root is diuretic, purging heat, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It has a good curative effect on acute arthritis, stranguria, leukorrhagia, lung fatigue and hematemesis, carbuncle and so on.
As for the jasmine seeds, it has a miraculous effect on treating skin sores, so it is normal for those villagers to plant jasmine and sell them for money.
"I see." Lin Fufu said with a grin. Since there are people who plant jasmine, at least this season you don't have to worry about jasmine seeds.
But this also gave her a reminder that in the future, she will also plant jasmine herself, whether it is white jasmine or purple jasmine.
Moreover, jasmine flowers, roots, seeds, and even leaves can be used as medicine, regardless of the soil and climate, as long as the water costs are well managed, it will be easy to feed.
"Oh, by the way, Gospel, you said just now that you were going to participate in the third baptism of the grandson of the Ningxian county magistrate's family? Then how did you know the Ningxian county magistrate?" This is very strange for Li Yi, who has never heard of Lin Gospel. But I also know the magistrate of Ning County or his family members.
Lin Fufu saw that he had misunderstood, so he told Li Yi that he was hit by a donkey cart by Mrs. Ningxian's county magistrate's carriage on the way to town yesterday.
He also told Li Yi that there was the eldest daughter-in-law of Ningxian county magistrate in the carriage, and she was about to give birth, and she was the one to pick it up.
This time, Li Yi suddenly realized, and laughed and teased Lin Fufu, "What kind of luck is this for you? On the way to the town, you can meet the official grandma giving birth, and you were the one to help deliver the baby."
Lin Fufu shook his head and said helplessly, "Isn't it? My luck is so good that it exploded."
Li Yi just laughed, thought for a while and said: "My master also went to Ning County to see the family member of the Song County Prime Minister, and I also went with him. Do you want me to accompany you on the day when the Gospel comes?"
Lin Fufu looked up at him and asked, "Then do you have time to go?"
Li Yi smiled and said: "My eighth uncle is here, and with him helping my master, I can be lazy." Then he looked at Lin Fufu seriously: "I am mainly afraid that you, a girl, will come to Song County Chancellor's house It’s inconvenient to be unfamiliar with the place.”
Lin Fufu knew what he meant, it was inconvenient, it was obviously because she was afraid that she, an orphan girl, would go to the official residence of a county magistrate and be bullied, right
If he, the young master of the Li family, accompanied her, the Song family would have paid more attention to her.
"Okay, then I'm going, I'll call you to come with me." Naturally, Lin Fufu would not reject his kindness, and she also thought that Li Yi was very considerate. Dogs look down on people.
"Then let's talk about it." Li said, then turned around and dragged out a big brown cloth bag from the cabinet, and said to Lin Fufu: "This is the purple jasmine that I bought from several other medical centers in the town. Seeds, you take them back first. I will help you find out where there are still jasmine seeds."
Lin Fufu quickly thanked him, and looked at the big bag of mirabilis jasmine seeds and smiled. This big bag weighs at least thirty-four catties, at least it is enough for her to make jasmine powder this time.
"Gospel, if there is nothing else, I will go to work. I will ask the drug boy to help you carry this bag of jasmine seeds to your house." Li said.
Lin Fufu thanked him again, and took the medicine boy carrying jasmine seeds back to his house first. The medicine boy put the jasmine seeds in the yard and left. When he left, Lin Fufu gave him a dozen or so big coins.
For the people of the Li Family Medical Center, Lin Fufu has always been very generous, and they respect Lin Fufu very much. If Lin Fufu has something to do, if he finds them, they are very willing to help.
Lin Fufu dragged the bag of mirabilis seeds back to her "laboratory". After taking a deep breath, she began to prepare materials to make jasmine powder.
Osmanthus stamens are bought in grocery stores, and only osmanthus stamens are sold in grocery stores because some wealthy families want to buy osmanthus stamens to make cakes, such as osmanthus cakes.
A few days ago, Lin Fufu and Sister Lin Fen walked through the street and bought it by the way. Then there are a lot of white porcelain bottles and so on.
The bad jasmine seeds are available now.
After all the ingredients were ready and placed in front of him, Lin Fufu began to follow the steps of making jasmine powder last time.
This lasted all afternoon, and Lin Fufu made twenty porcelain bottles of jasmine powder before stopping.
She did the math, a large porcelain bottle of jasmine powder can be sold for 1,400 taels of silver, and she still has twenty-six large porcelain bottles of jasmine powder at home, which would be 36,400 taels of silver up.
Although this amount is not much different from the 45,000 taels of silver that bought Mrs. Jiang's eight big shops.
But the premise is that these twenty-six porcelain bottles of jasmine powder are counted as seventy boxes each, and there are a total of 1,820 boxes. Counting the two large porcelain bottles brought back by Mrs. Qin today, it is 1,960 A box of jasmine powder. If there were no special circumstances, it would probably not take a month or two to sell out the nearly 2,000 boxes of jasmine powder.
But Mrs. Jiang's old housekeeper is only willing to wait for a month and a few days, after which time he will sell the eight big shops separately.
Therefore, Lin Fufu was under great pressure to save money.
But fortunately, the income from small snacks has been added recently, plus the income from fresh broad beans and bean sprouts, as well as the income from preserved eggs and preserved eggs, plus the income from cabbage, it should not be difficult to save 40,000 yuan if you work hard. Five thousand taels of silver!
"Gospel, open the door!" Just as Lin Fufu had finished making the jasmine powder, he heard Liu Qin yelling to open the door.
Why is Liu Qin here again
She hurriedly washed her hands, wiped her face with a wet towel, and hurried out to open the door for him.
