Seeing that everyone was busy and no one was paying attention to her, Lin Fufu couldn't wait to open the mutton jade box.
The pair of green and transparent water heads are excellent, and a strand of emerald green jade bracelet is floating in the jade body, lying quietly on the red velvet cloth, Lin Fufu's eyes are hot when he sees it.
It really is a good thing!
Originally, the original stone was amazing, but after it was carved into a jade bracelet, people couldn't take their eyes off it.
In particular, the strand of emerald green that is almost the same shape flows from the jade body in the two bracelets, which is even more rare and precious.
This also shows that Oda's skill in carving jade is profound.
This pair of jade bracelets had to be taken out from the rough jadeite, and there were various aspects to consider, including aesthetics and design, which could not be explained clearly in a few words.
"I like it very much! Thank you, Xiaotian!" Lin Fufu blinked happily at Xiaotian, and Xiaotian was taken aback by this playful look.
He thought that a powerful girl like Miss Lin would not show such a playful look in front of others.
But it also shows that Miss Lin really likes the pair of jade bracelets he carved.
It is a very happy thing to be recognized by others for the things I have spent my hard work on!
"Girl likes it, so I'm very happy." Oda also rarely pursed his lips and smiled shyly, then his face became serious again, with a look of embarrassment in his eyes, "It's just girl, after I took out the pair of bracelets, I found that If there are still some carved jade hairpins left from the rough jadeite, the length will not be enough. But if you don’t make jade hairpins, it would be a waste to do anything else.”
Lin Fufu also frowned, looked at him and asked, "After taking out a pair of jade bracelets, how much is left?"
Oda thought for a while, then looked at Lin Fufu's hand and said, "It's smaller than the girl's fist."
Lin Fufu's heart moved when he heard the words, and a crystal light shone in his eyes.
"Then can you take out another small jade bracelet? The kind that a seven or eight-year-old girl can wear is fine."
After hearing Lin Fufu's words, Oda's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately, "It's possible!"
"Well, that's good. Let's take out another jade bracelet first, and then you can do with the rest of the jade. My idea is to make a set of jewelry and headgear for little girls." Lin Fufu thought for a while Again.
"This is easy." Oda was very confident, and told Lin Fufu: "There are many more to make a full set of head jewelry for little girls, I cut it carefully, and there are still large pieces left to make a few sets of head jewelry for adult women. "
Because the jade used as head and face jewelry is for embellishment, and it is usually made of gold or silver as the base, and emerald gemstones or pearls are the ones that play a finishing touch.
"Okay, then just do it according to your design." After Lin Fufu saw Oda's carving skills, he trusted him very much.
"Hey, by the way, it's best to make the little girl's jewelry first, preferably before the eighth day of the eighth day. Of course, in addition to the adult's head jewelry, the little girl can make more." Lin Fufu remembered an extremely important thing. After the incident, he called Oda again.
Oda naturally agreed.
After lunch was finished, Lin Fufu didn't have time to rest, so he took Xiaotian and sent all the cosmeceuticals made by Lin Fen and Lin Fang in the third night of junior high school to Mrs. Qin's cosmetics shop.
Lady Qin happily threw away the broom in her hand, and hurriedly ran to the carriage to inspect the goods, because the shop was being cleaned and there was a lot of dust, so she didn't move the goods in for the time being.
Lin Fufu saw that there were already three people cleaning Lady Qin's cosmetics shop, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that Lady Qin moved so fast that she recruited the guys all morning.
The three guys are one female and two male. The females have delicate features, but they are just young.
The men are one old and one young, the old one looks very gentle, while the young one looks very alert.
"Miss Qin is amazing, have you found a buddy in such a short time?" Lin Fufu asked with a smile.
Mrs. Qin kept praising the quality of her new product, seeing that she had been praising for so long, but Lin Fufu didn't say a word, but she saw that her guys had left, and couldn't help laughing.
"What's so good about three people living together? Do you want a buddy? Just go to the county and find a middleman to introduce you." Lady Qin pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "If you think the employment is not good, what do you want to do?" If you want to buy a buddy yourself, go to the matchmaker. The matchmaker and middle-aged people in this county are all under the age, so you can find someone at any time."
Lady Qin's unintentional words reminded Lin Fufu that she really wanted to buy some people back for training.
Otherwise, with the gradual development of the business in the future, she is really not enough for people.
She secretly wrote down this matter in her heart, and said to Mrs. Qin: "Then move these to the back hall of your shop. I still have a lot of things to do, so I have to go back quickly."
Tomorrow is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and Mrs. Qin also knew that she would be busy, so she called the three guys to move the goods.
"Gospel, I spent a sum of money a few years ago. I think your batch is much better than jasmine powder. The price will definitely not be less. So, I have to wait until I sell a part of it before I can buy it with you." The bill is settled." Mrs. Qin discussed with Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu is not short of silver coins now, and he still has tens of thousands of taels of silver on his body. Although they all need to be spent to buy shops and expand their business, there is no need to go out right now.
"It's okay, you sell it first. As for the price, you can set the price according to the best batch of goods in Caizhizhai." After thinking about it, Lin Fufu felt that it was a loss, and added: "The best product in Caizhizhai is the best." A few taels more for the good batch is also okay."
Mrs. Qin laughed when she heard this, and said heartily: "That's what I think. A blind person can tell that this batch of goods you made is much better than the one that Caizhizhai claims to be the best. Why do you want it?" Sell at the same price as them?"
Lin Fufu glanced at Mrs. Qin, "But we are not well-known."
"Just trust me, I've been running a cosmetics shop for so many years, don't I have the ability to push the good things you make to others?" After a pause, Mrs. Qin said confidently: "Just look at the gospel." !"
Lin Fufu was also very happy to see Mrs. Qin being so confident, "Oh, I almost forgot, our signboard is called Beauty Hall."
Lin Fufu thought of the natural hall in his previous life, so he used the name of the Hall of Beauty in a vulgar way. Anyway, this signboard is also suitable for the occasion.
"The Hall of Beauty?" Mrs. Qin bit the words and read it again, frowning at Lin Fufu, "Why do you feel so convoluted?"
Mrs. Qin didn't like this signboard, so Lin Fufu had no choice but to ask her directly, "Then what signboard do you think is better?"
Mrs. Qin frowned, and said very deeply: "Actually, the word "Tang" in the back is very good, it is a beauty, and it is a bit vulgar."
Lin Fufu also felt vulgar, but down to earth.
But think about it, this product of hers is promoted to ladies and ladies, and a name that is too down-to-earth is really not suitable.
"Hmm..." Lin Fufu pondered for a while, his eyes lit up, "Then it's called the Hall of Beauty."
"Hall of Beauty?" Lady Qin's eyes narrowed this time, "This signboard is good! That's it! I'll ask someone to make this signboard today, and it can be hung up early in the morning!"
Seeing her passion, Lin Fufu also felt very good.
"The cabinets, desks and tables have to be custom-made by a carpenter's shop. Are you going to get them in a few days?" Lin Fufu said again.
Mrs. Qin gave her a blank look, "Why does it take a few days? It's not a waste of time. I went to the old carpenter early in the morning, and the counters, tables, and chairs will be delivered tomorrow morning. I still want to catch up with the opening of the market tomorrow." Just open!" After a pause, he laughed again: "As long as you are willing to spend a lot of money, you can do anything!"
The principle is this principle. But Lin Fufu still felt that this was unrealistic. Even if the tables, chairs and cabinets could be ready and delivered tomorrow, the containers for rouge and gouache hadn't arrived yet.
However, she doesn't plan to take care of these anymore. Lady Qin is so confident that she should be able to handle it by herself.
"Okay, then I wish you a happy opening, I'm really back." Lin Fufu smiled and cupped his hands.
Mrs. Qin also cupped her hands, looked at Lin Fufu and said with a smile: "I also wish Boss Lin a happy opening!"
The two broke up and left. Lin Fufu asked Xiaotian to drive the carriage to the restaurant this time.
Liu Ji Restaurant is the only restaurant in town that is open all the time during the Spring Festival. Lin Fufu is going to see how Master Jiang's family is doing.
I also brought money to reward their family.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the carriage and entered the restaurant, she saw that the restaurant was full of guests, who were still drinking and eating hot pot or vermicelli soup.
It's already past lunch time, and it's still full...
Lin Fufu was really surprised.
Moreover, there are many waiters and waiters in and out of the restaurant that she doesn't know, of course there are also familiar ones, those are the waiters and waiters in Chang Ning's restaurant.
She hurried to the big kitchen, and saw Master Jiang busy with his own children.
Didn't even know she came in.
Lin Fufu yelled, and Master Jiang knew she was coming.
He hurriedly wiped his greasy hands on his apron, and ran to Lin Fufu with a proud and excited expression on his face, "Girl, you are here today? I thought you would come again tomorrow."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Fufu thanked his family for their dedication to the restaurant, and then changed his voice, "When I came here just now, I saw that our restaurant has a lot of customers!"
"That is to say, the number of customers has increased since today. A few days ago, merchants from Beibei and other places came to our restaurant for dinner." Master Jiang said with a smile, and then pointed outside and said: "It just so happens that the girl is here , This matter of collecting and keeping accounts will trouble the girl, I am afraid that my second boy will make a mistake."
In fact, this is Master Jiang's humble words. In fact, the second boy of his family has collected and kept accounts these days.
Lin Fufu nodded and went out, and then saw a small black head protruding from the counter. This kid was not as tall as the counter. No wonder she didn't see him when she came in just now.
When she saw the child's front face, she couldn't help laughing. The child was only eight or nine years old, and there was still a small braid of lanugo hair on his head.
"Little brother, how old are you? Have you collected all the bills these days?" Lin Fufu asked him with a smile.
At this moment, no one came to pay the bill. The child saw Lin Fufu, looked her up and down, and asked directly, "Are you the Miss Lin my father said?"
"Oh, you still know me?" Lin Fufu was amused by him. This kid has big dark eyes, and is cute and clever. Collecting bills is boring, and it's rare that he can bear the temper to do it.
"Of course I know you. My father compared your size with us, and I knew it was you when I saw your size." The child was not afraid of people, and spoke to Lin Fufu with a crisp accent.
"You're so smart!" Lin Fufu boasted, and then asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
"Jiang Tao." The child opened his mouth and announced his name crisply.
"Jiang Tao, good name." Lin Fufu fished out a handful of copper coins from his purse and handed them to him, "Sister is here, you can go out to play for a while, you can buy candies for these big boys."
Jiang Tao grabbed the copper coin that Lin Fufu handed him, ran out with a smile, and turned around to shout at Lin Fufu: "Thank you, Miss Lin!"
Lin Fufu smiled and shook his hand at him, signaling him to go out and play.
"Hey, Miss Lin, how many days will you be away? You came early enough." La Shan, a rich businessman from Beirong, was bringing his family out for lunch, and now he came down to pay the bill. Seeing that Lin Fufu came so early, Just surprised.
"Happy New Year to Mr. Lashan and his wife's family." Lin Fufu said hello with a smile, and Lashan's family hurriedly wished her a happy new year.
Lin Fufu asked with a smile: "Mr. Lashan, is this going to pay? Are you ready?"
"Yes, pay the bill. Whether the hot pot or the vermicelli soup in your restaurant is delicious, we should eat it." La Shan said with a smile, and took out his purse to prepare for the bill.
Lin Fufu saw the order status of Lashan's family written on the account book, and saw that there was a total of twenty-seven taels of silver and fifty cents written crookedly on the bottom.
This must have been written by Jiang Tao, Lin Fufu smiled knowingly, this kid is really a good material for the accountant.
I don't know if Master Jiang is willing to let his children learn a skill.
Because a person like Master Jiang who earns a lot of money and has a skill, I am afraid that in the end he still hopes that the boys in the family will try to study.
"It's twenty-seven taels and fifty taels in total. For the New Year's Day, just twenty-six taels of silver will be fine." Lin Fufu very readily lost one and a half taels of silver.
Although this two and a half silver is nothing to the Lashan family, Lin Fufu's actions made the family smile even deeper.
"Then let Miss Lin say good luck to everyone in the New Year." La Shan counted out the money and handed it to Lin Fufu, and then took his family and Lin Fufu to leave.
Their family is still living in Lin Fufu's inn.
Then one after another, customers came to check out, and Lin Fufu saw that some change was waived. Although it was a trivial matter, those customers were very happy.
Lin Fufu even heard them praise Liu Ji Restaurant for being very humane, and they will go to Liu Ji Restaurant for dinner next time.
Lin Fufu only smiled slightly. Restaurants and inns are all for service, and the higher the service level, the better the business.
After closing at night, Lin Fufu took stock and found that the turnover on the fourth day of the day was approaching 10,000 taels of silver.
Looking at the accounts of the previous few days, I found that the turnover of a meal on the night of the New Year's Eve was also close to 5,000 taels of silver, and the turnover on the first day of the Lunar New Year was more than 4,300 taels of silver.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there is a running water of five thousand six hundred taels of silver, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is a little over seven thousand taels.
In just a few days of the Chinese New Year, she originally thought that there would be running water, but not too much, but she didn't expect that the running water would break 30,000 taels of silver in just a few days.
This really made Lin Fufu happy and surprised.
Think about it, all these turnovers are due to the credit of Master Jiang's family. Lin Fufu plans to discuss with Liu Qin after Liu Qin arrives, and reward Master Jiang's family with three thousand taels of silver from the income of the past few days. .
Of course, the two hundred taels of silver promised to Master Jiang earlier will be fulfilled.
It is really a blessing for her and Liu Qin to have such a good chef as Master Jiang. It is not an exaggeration to give an extra three thousand taels of silver as a reward.
After all, if Master Jiang's family were not willing to stay here and continue to help them do business, at least the turnover of more than 30,000 taels of silver would be gone.
Lin Fufu was thinking about waiting for Liu Qin to come, and then discuss this matter with Liu Qin. If he really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao would be here.
Not only did Liu Qin come by himself, he also hired more than 20 carriages to come together.
There were not only dozens of his brothers in the more than twenty carriages, but also the snacks, biandan and preserved eggs that Grandma Li asked him to bring.
These are for the opening of Lin Fufu's grocery store on the fifth day of the lunar new year.
Lin Fufu knew about this, and had told Grandma Li about it before.
"I'm starving to death. Where's Lao Jiang? Hurry up and serve us food!" Liu Qin yelled that he was hungry as soon as he came in, and when he saw a row of unfamiliar faces, he pointed and asked Lin Fufu: "Where do these people come from?"
Lin Fufu followed his fingers to glance at the waitresses and waiters with strange faces, and slightly raised his eyebrows, "Master Jiang borrowed them from Chang Ning and the others. After we went back for the New Year, the restaurant's business is still very good. Master and his family are too busy."
Liu Qin nodded with a smile, "Not bad, Lao Jiang, flexible enough!"
Master Jiang happened to take his three older children to serve Liu Qin and the others, and he smiled honestly when he heard Liu Qin's praise.
"Thanks to the fact that those guests like to eat hot pot and vermicelli soup, I didn't eat much of the meal I prepared, or the young master would have to be hungry for a while."
"That's my fate, I won't be hungry." Liu Qin laughed, and then greeted his brothers for dinner.
After Lin Fufu re-copied the account book that Jiang Tao made a few days ago, Liu Qin had already eaten.
He walked to the counter and asked Lin Fufu: "You said that the restaurant business was good during the few days we went during the Chinese New Year, what's the good way?"
"Look for yourself." Lin Fufu handed him the account books of the past few days. Liu Qin's eyes straightened when he saw it, and then he narrowed his eyes with a smile. The running water of the two? Sure enough, the business is good!"
Lin Fufu also pursed his lips and smiled, "I will discuss something with you. During the Chinese New Year, I can earn more than 20,000 taels of silver, thanks to Master Jiang's family, so I plan to reward his family with 3,000 taels of silver. What do you think? ?”
When Liu Qin heard that Lin Fufu proposed to reward Master Jiang's family with three thousand taels of silver, he immediately shook his head.
Seeing that he disagreed, Lin Fufu slightly frowned and asked, "Why not?"
