After leaving the hospital, it was already dark, and she couldn't go back at night, so Li Mo decided to find an inn to sleep for the night.
Not far along the street is an inn. Li Mo didn't want Song Dashan to go too far, so she didn't choose any more, went directly into the inn, and asked for a room from the shopkeeper.
The waiter took Song Dashan's donkey cart into the shed in the backyard and tied it up, then took Li Mo and the others upstairs.
While going up the stairs, Song Dashan suddenly stopped and looked back downstairs with a dazed expression.
Li Mo noticed his strangeness, and pulled his hand, "What's the matter? What are you looking at?" As she spoke, she followed his gaze, and saw a man dressed as a young man at the counter talking to the shopkeeper.
Li Mo didn't know that man at all, and judging by his attire, it was impossible for him to have any intersection with Song Dashan. Song Dashan probably didn't see him.
Song Dashan turned his head, shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything, let's go."
Li Mo nodded, then walked upstairs.
Xiao Er opened a room and said to Li Mo and the two: "You two are objective. If you want to eat, you can go downstairs to eat. In the evening, the shop provides a bucket of hot water. If you want more, you need to add money. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time." .”
Li Mo nodded and thanked Xiao Er.
Song Dashan put Xiaobao down, and Xiaobao immediately looked around curiously. This was his first time spending the night outside, and he felt very fresh.
Li Mo said to Song Dashan: "Let's go down and get something to eat later, then have an early rest and go home tomorrow morning."
Song Dashan nodded.
The three of them rested for a while before going downstairs to eat. Instead of eating at the inn, they went outside. One of them ordered a bowl of noodles. It's not that they didn't want to eat better. It's just that Song Dashan's leg needs to be healed in the future, so he can't make ends meet every month. , You must save some money, even if you save money, it is not enough, you have to find a way to make more money, otherwise you won't be able to support two treatments a month.
But how can you make more money
Li Mo ate while thinking, and didn't come up with a solution until she finished eating.
Forget it, the current money can still support two treatments, and there is still time to think slowly.
After eating, the three of them went back to the inn, asked Xiaoer for some hot water to wash up briefly, then turned off the lights early and went to sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Mo and Song Dashan left the room and drove the donkey cart back to Daoyuan Village.
After returning home, after cleaning the house inside and out, Li Mo and Song Dashan went to Aunt Zhao's house to pick up the chicken.
Aunt Zhao was cooking, and when she saw Li Mo and Song Dashan came back, she immediately asked pleasantly, "You guys are back? How are you doing? Can Dashan's leg be cured?"
Li Mo nodded, "Yes, the doctor said that although it is difficult to treat, it can still be cured. From now on, we will go to the city medical center for treatment every half a month."
Aunt Zhao was very happy when she heard the news, "That's great, Dashan's leg can be cured, and your life will only get better and better in the future."
Li Mo nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Aunt Zhao, has anyone come to my house to ask me to put on makeup in the past two days when I'm not at home?"
Aunt Zhao shook her head, "No, I look at it every day, but no one has come."
Li Mo nodded, feeling a little disappointed.
Her current business volume is still too small. Sometimes no one comes to her for makeup for a few days. Her makeup skills are really useless. Now Song Dashan needs to heal his legs. If this continues, the money is really not enough.
No, I really have to think of a way, we must increase the volume of business.
Li Mo has been thinking of ways, so that the food is not delicious, and she can't fall asleep after going to bed at night, tossing and turning.
Song Dashan hugged Li Mo into his arms, rubbed her neck, reached into the clothes dishonestly, grabbed the two soft balls and kneaded them, and asked while kneading, "What's wrong? Why are you so restless? What are you thinking about?"
This man is going to be in heat again.
Li Mo pulled his hand out and said seriously: "You are not allowed to do this while your leg is being treated!"
Song Dashan was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "Why not let me go?"
"Didn't you hear what the doctor said, you can't use your legs hard, and if you want to heal your injury quickly, you can't do this."
Song Dashan argued aggrievedly: "Doing this will not affect the legs, my legs are fine, it's fine."
Li Mo rolled her eyes, "Who said it won't affect your legs? Are you ashamed to say it won't affect your legs?"
Obviously when he did that, his lower body was the most vigorous, without using his legs, how could he do that
The doctor said not to use force on the legs. Although she didn't know if it was considered force, it is always right to be careful during the treatment.
Seeing Li Mo's insistence, Song Dashan languished, buried his head on Li Mo's chest and rubbed it back and forth, acting like a baby even more than a child.
Normally, Li Mo would be soft-hearted, but in this special time, she must not indulge him. Li Mo was cruel, and pushed his dog's head away, "It's useless to act like a baby, just say no."
Song Dashan whined softly from his nose, like a dog abandoned by its owner.
Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry, but she held back.
After a while, when Li Mo thought that Song Dashan had fallen asleep, Song Dashan over there came over again, hugged Li Mo into his arms, wrapped his legs around Li Mo's legs, and wrapped Li Mo tightly Wrapped in his arms, then buried his face in Li Mo's neck, and said softly: "Then I won't move, and I'll sleep with you in my arms, okay?"
Li Mo raised the corners of her mouth, reached out and touched his head, acquiescing to this clingy behavior.
After a while, the sound of Song Dashan's regular breathing came over, and he had obviously fallen asleep.
Li Mo smiled, but she couldn't fall asleep, her mind was still involuntarily thinking of ways to increase business volume.
Now just by doing make-up for brides from ten miles and eight villages, the business volume is not enough. Not to mention that not every bride will ask her for makeup, even if every bride asks her, the business volume is far from enough. After all, there are brides who get married every day.
In order to increase the volume of business, we must break away from the current business model and find a new way. This way is best if the business is continuous and does not require her to travel thousands of miles to make up for others. , then you don’t have to worry about making money.
But it's easy to think, how can there be such a way? If she can open a makeup shop in the town by herself, it can be realized by letting customers come to the door by herself, but now Song Dashan's leg treatment money is far from enough, where can she get the money to open a shop, even if she rents a shop, she can't afford it Ah, this road is really dead.
Li Mo had a headache and couldn't help but pat herself on the head.
Patting and clapping, suddenly, Li Mo paused, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a good way.
That's right, use the store!
Although she has no money to open a shop, she can sit in other people's shops and wait for others to come to make up. Isn't this a reality
As for the stores, wouldn't it be good to go directly to those stores that sell rouge and gouache
Li Mo remembered the shop where she had been buying rouge and gouache all the time.
The proprietress and she are already acquaintances. She also has a general understanding of the proprietress. She is quite generous and informal, and has a good character. She is not the kind of person who likes to deceive people. The most important thing is that the proprietress is from the magistrate's family. The relatives can be regarded as enjoying the cool with the magistrate's back, and there is no need to worry about other families making trouble or getting into trouble there.
Li Mo's heart jumped up.
She felt that it was possible to make money.
As long as she can impress the proprietress's heart, invite her to be a makeup lady in her shop, and if a customer comes to her shop, she will help her to sell, then she can directly help people make up in the shop. And this thing is a win-win, she is good at makeup for others, so there will only be more customers and repeat customers, and even more customers who come to the store out of curiosity. That's more, both of them earned.
Li Mo felt that her plan had a great chance of success, and she just had to wait to go to the town with Song Dashan to try it out tomorrow.
The more Li Mo thought about it, the more excited she became. She was excited until midnight, and finally fell asleep in a daze, but she didn't sleep well. When Song Dashan woke up in the morning, she immediately woke up.
Song Dashan: "Why did you wake up? It's still early, so go back to sleep."
Li Mo rubbed her eyes, shook her head, "Don't sleep, I'm going to town with you today."
Song Dashan: "What are you doing in town?"
Li Mo: "I have something to do at the makeup shop."
Song Dashan thought she was going to buy rouge powder, nodded, carried her out of the quilt, rubbed her face to wake her up, and waited for Li Mo to fully open her eyes before leaving to make breakfast.
After the two were ready, they carried Xiaobao, who was still in his dream, into the carriage, and the family went to the village to wait for the villagers who were going to town today.
When it was about Mao's time, the car was full of people, so Song Dashan got up the car and set off for the town.
When they arrived in the town, everyone else went to work in the market, Song Dashan drove the donkey cart to the door of the makeup shop that Li Mo often went to.
Li Mo asked Song Dashan and Xiaobao to stay in the car, and carried her cosmetic case into the shop.
Seeing Li Mo coming, the proprietress greeted her with a smile, "Sister Li, you are here, are you here to buy rouge and water powder again today?"
Ever since Li Mo started to put on makeup, she has often come to her house to buy makeup powder, and the proprietress is very familiar with her.
Li Mo smiled and said hello to the proprietress first, and then said: "Sister Yue, I'm here today, I'm really not here to buy makeup, I plan to do business with you, I don't know if you are interested in listening .”
The proprietress was not unhappy because Li Mo said that she would not buy cosmetics, but when she heard that she wanted to do business with her, she became interested and asked with a smile: "Of course, Li Meizi can just talk, I'm all ears." The proprietress said He welcomed Li Mo to a chair beside him and sat down.
Li Mo knew that she was a bold person, so she didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Sister Yue, do you know why I buy so much makeup from your house every time?"
The proprietress shook her head and said she didn't know. This question was too personal, and the proprietress had never asked before.
Li Mo said: "Sister Yue, to tell you the truth, the reason why I bought so many powders at your house is because I am a makeup girl, and I specialize in makeup for brides."
The proprietress was slightly surprised. She had guessed what Li Mo did, but she never thought that she would be a makeup girl. She had never seen such a young and beautiful makeup girl.
However, the proprietress is also someone who has seen the world, and she recovered her expression after a moment of surprise, knowing that there must be a reason why Li Mo said these things today, so she asked directly: "Sister Li came today and said that she is doing business with me. It's about makeup."
Li Mo knew that the proprietress was a smart person, so she nodded directly, "Sister Yue, you are a bold person, so I won't play around with you, I'll just say it straight, I'm here today to do business with you using my make-up skills, Just listen, if we think it’s okay, we’ll cooperate, if not, we’re still friends.”
The proprietress smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Li Mo said: "Sister Yue, I won't tell you lies. I don't dare to say that my makeup skills are the best in the world, but I am also one of the best. It is certain that I can make a woman look beautiful. I have always relied on brides I want to make money by doing makeup, but my husband’s leg is injured and needs to be treated now. Our family doesn’t have enough money. I want to make more money, so I want to make up for people in your shop. If someone comes to see rouge powder, can you help me? I recommend it, I can give it to people first, if you feel dissatisfied, you will not be charged, and it will not affect your business."
After Li Mo finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "You can also put up a sign at the door, telling people that you can make up and make people beautiful in the store, so as to attract customers to come in, so that the people in your store There will only be more and more customers, and the sales of your makeup will only increase."
After Li Mo finished speaking, seeing the proprietress pondering, she continued: "Sister Yue, you who have been doing business all year round should know that if this business succeeds, it will be beneficial to both of us. , the business of both parties will get better and better, what do you think?"
In fact, when Li Mo finished talking about the business, the proprietress was tempted. She had never met a makeup girl in the shop, but she could imagine that if there was a makeup girl in her shop, it would definitely arouse the curiosity of the customers. , even as Li Mo said, attracting more customers into her store, with more customers, more and more cosmetics will be sold. And this matter is basically harmless to her, she just needs to provide a place, and then recommend it with her lips.
However, the only question now is, is Li Meizi's makeup skills really that good, can she attract customers
The proprietress thought for a while, and said to Li Mo: "Sister Li, what you said is indeed very touching. If it is true, I just need to make it easier and provide you with a place to benefit. But I don't know you What kind of craftsmanship is it, is it really that good. So, if you want, girl, can you show it to me?"
Li Mo became happy after hearing what the proprietress said, it seemed that the matter was basically done, so Li Mo immediately said: "Sister Yue, if you want, I will give you a new make-up and let you see how my skills are? "
The proprietress bent her lips and smiled, "Why not?"
Li Mo stood up, made a "please" gesture to the proprietress, and said, "Sister Yue, let's take off the makeup on your face first, and then I will remake it for you."
The proprietress ordered a handyman in the store to fetch a basin of water, take out the soap for washing his face, and remove the makeup on his face today.
