Li Mo stayed in the beauty room and was busy until almost dusk before finishing all the beauty treatments for today's guests.
Sitting stiffly, Li Mo simply stood up and went out to have a look.
There were still a few guests looking at the rouge powder outside, Li Mo was relieved of Song Dashan, and went straight to the lounge.
Unexpectedly, the few guests who had done beauty treatment before hadn't left yet, they were gathering together to play leaf cards, playing with great interest, and it seemed that they were reluctant to stop.
Li Mo walked over to them to play, and found that the leaf cards were not very interesting, not as good as playing cards, but the playing cards she prepared were left aside in the cold, and no one even touched them.
I guess I don't know how to play this.
Li Mo couldn't help but said: "Ladies, do you want to try a new game? It's the poker cards in my hand."
One of the ladies looked at the playing cards curiously and said, "I saw this thing when I came in, but I just don't know how it works. I've never seen it before, and everyone doesn't know it."
Li Mo began to explain the playing cards to everyone: "This is called playing cards. It is similar to the leaf cards, but the playing method is different, but I personally think it is more fun than the leaf cards. Do you want to try it?"
Two ladies immediately became interested and said, "Then you teach us how to play, and we can have new fun in the future."
Li Mo nodded, took apart the ancient version of playing cards in his hand and put them on the table, shuffled the cards and said, "This is for four people to play together. After shuffling the cards like I do, you have to turn over a card and put it on the table. The players hold out the cards, then cover them, each person draws one card in turn, whoever gets the card just turned over will be the landlord, and then the remaining three will deal with the landlord together... "
Li Mo explained the rules of poker in detail, and then went to the battle in person, leading the other three to play together, pointing out anything wrong, and asking them directly if they didn't know anything.
Gradually, everyone understood a little bit, and Li Mo played a few more games with them. In the end, those players knew how to play poker, and they also developed a strong interest in poker, so they started to play one after another.
Seeing that they all knew it, Li Mo smiled and gave the seat to another person, said hello and went out.
That's all for today's beauty treatment, Li Mo didn't plan to do any more, and handed over the front to Song Dashan, while she went into the backyard, wanting to see Xiaobao.
After entering the backyard, Li Mo went to the kitchen first, where Mrs. Qin was cooking.
Seeing Li Mo coming in, Sister-in-Law Qin hurriedly said, "Are you hungry? The meal will be ready soon, I'll just cook something else."
Li Mo said: "Don't be in a hurry, sister-in-law. You're not hungry yet. Take your time. I'll just come and see the child."
Sister-in-law Qin smiled, "The two children are playing."
"Okay, I'll go and have a look."
After Li Mo finished speaking and left the kitchen, she saw Xiaobao squatting under the big tree and gesticulating with branches, while Huzi beside him watched silently, concentrating on it.
Li Mo quietly walked over and got behind Xiaobao, and saw Xiaobao was writing his name on the ground with a branch: Xiaobao, these are the only two Chinese characters she has taught him besides numbers. Take it out and write it, review it.
Xiaobao finished writing the two characters, lit the word "small" with a twig, and then read: "Small! This is small!"
Huzi watched from the side, and repeated the words: "Small! This is small!"
Xiaobao nodded solemnly, then moved the twig to another word, and said, "Bao! This is Bao!"
Hu Zi also read it seriously.
After Huzi finished reading, he said to Xiaobao with admiration: "Brother Xiaobao, you are really good. You can even write characters." In Huzi's heart, being able to recognize characters is very powerful.
Xiao Bao scratched his face, and said embarrassedly: "I'm not very good, my mother is good, she taught me, she also taught me to count, and then do arithmetic, my mother is the most powerful person. "
Huzi opened his eyes wide, full of admiration, "Aunt Mo is really amazing."
Xiao Bao nodded seriously.
Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it from behind. In Xiao Bao's eyes, is she so powerful.
"Xiaobao, what are you and Huzi doing?" Li Mo asked.
Hearing Li Mo's voice, Xiao Bao turned his head in surprise and threw himself into Li Mo's arms, "Mom, are you done?"
Li Mo hugged him into his arms and kissed his little cheek, "Yes, mother is done."
Xiaobao happily said to Li Mo: "Mother, today I taught Huzi how to count, and he can recite one, two, three, four."
Li Mo praised: "Really? Baby is awesome." Then he patted Huzi's head, "Huzi is awesome too!"
Huzi's small eyes were bright, and he could see that he was very happy to be praised.
Li Mo put down the little treasure in her arms, and said to the two little guys, "You two go wash your hands, and you will have dinner later."
Little Treasure nodded, and pulled Huzi to the side of the water tank, scooped out a ladle of water with a water ladle, poured it into the basin, and then put his little hands in the basin to scrub carefully. Seeing this, Huzi followed suit.
Li Mo smiled and looked at it for a while, then went to the front again.
It was getting dark, the doors had to be closed, and she had to fetch some of the card-playing ladies home.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
In the evening, a family of three, including plums, sister-in-law Qin and Huzi, a total of six people, sat at a full table. There were five dishes cooked by sister-in-law Qin on the table. They looked very good and smelled good.
Li Mo spoke first: "Sister-in-law Qin came to the shop today, and she will be a member of our shop from now on. Today's dishes are also cooked by sister-in-law Qin. Thank you for your hard work."
Qin's sister-in-law waved her hand embarrassingly, "It's not hard, it's not hard work, this kind of work is nothing."
Li Mo said: "Okay, we won't be polite in the future, come, eat, wash up and rest early after eating, today is a busy day."
Everyone raised their chopsticks and started eating.
Meizi gave Sister-in-law Qin a thumbs-up, "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are really good, and the food is much more delicious than mine."
Qin's sister-in-law smiled, "I don't know anything else, I can do these things, you can eat more of them, I will make them for you every day from now on."
Everyone ate a meal very happily and satisfied.
After the meal, Mrs. Qin boiled some hot water for everyone to wash.
Li Mo and Song Dashan washed it last. Li Mo wanted to take a bath, but Song Dashan didn't ask his sister-in-law Qin to help. After they all went back to their room to sleep, they went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water, carried it into the bathroom for Li Mo, poured it into the bathtub, and let Li Mo Jasmine wash.
Li Mo had a comfortable soak in the morning and felt comfortable all over. Of course, it would be even better if there was no harassment from a certain big wolf dog.
Afterwards, Li Mo lay in Song Dashan's arms, bit him on the chest, and said angrily, "You've been busy all day, why aren't you tired?" From the bathroom to the bedroom, where did you find so much energy? Toss her every day
Song Dashan smiled sullenly, and did not answer Li Mo's words.
How can you have no energy for the woman you love? What he can't say is that he can react when he sees Li Mo.
After talking about the joke, Li Mo talked about the business: "Today I counted the money and calculated the accounts by the way. I made up ten clients this morning and earned two hundred coins. One hundred and seventy yuan, you sold balm and rouge powder over there, and earned more than three hundred yuan, which adds up to almost seven hundred yuan. When the price of beauty treatment increases later, the money should not be less than this, according to Calculated in this way, we can earn more than 20 taels of silver a month, and after deducting expenses and various expenses, we can save almost 20 taels of silver."
Song Dashan gave a "hmm" and continued to listen to Li Mo.
Li Mo recalled the situation in the lounge today, and asked: "When I was doing makeup and beauty treatment, how crowded was the lounge?"
Song Dashan replied: "There are quite a lot of people in the leisure room. Many people like to play in it. The tea alone has been refilled many times. There are also many women who bring their children. There are quite a lot of children."
Li Mo's heartstrings twitched, and she instantly grasped a business opportunity.
I couldn't help but said to Song Dashan: "Dashan, I thought of another idea, let's see how it goes."
Li Mo adjusted a more comfortable posture in Song Dashan's arms, and then said: "Look, there are so many people in the leisure room every day, and there are many children, can we set up a special cabinet for selling food in the leisure room , such as pastries, candies, marshmallows, melon seeds, and other snacks, although not every customer will buy them, but there are always people who want to buy them, and children will definitely want to eat them too."
The more Li Mo thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, "And so many people play cards, and when they play cards, they will want to chew something. We have it here. Some people are not short of money, so they will buy it. Then we will make money. Well."
Song Dashan found that his little lady really had business acumen, and he admired every idea she uttered, so he could only nod in admiration.
This time was no exception, Song Dashan had no other thoughts except nodding. This idea is really good. They can go to places that sell food to buy more, the price is cheap, and the price rises a little when they sell it in the store. The difference between the prices is income.
Li Mo was already thinking about what to buy, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Buy ready-made pastries every day, otherwise they won't be fresh, so go to the one that Tie Zi often goes to, they will give us cheaper ones; then other Yes, just buy some that can be bought in large quantities, that are easy to store and not perishable, such as candy, melon seeds, twists, etc.; then buy some marshmallows and candied haws that children like to eat, which are easy to attract children.”
Song Dashan patted Li Mo's back, "Okay, but first I have to send a message to ask Uncle Zhang to find us a cabinet selling food, and then I will go buy these food."
The cabinets are small things, and the ones that have several layers are enough, but there is a little inconvenience, that is, there is no glass in this era, and there is no way to use glass to separate them like modern dining cabinets, so that guests can see the things inside , but out of reach. Now the shelves are all exposed, and customers can get them easily. It is inevitable that someone will take them secretly. This requires a special person to look at the sales, but no one in the store has time to look at the food cabinets. You can't just hire a buddy just to look at the cabinet, right
Thinking about it, Li Mo felt a little headache. The way to increase her income that she had finally come up with had encountered obstacles.
Hearing Li Mo talk about sorrow, Song Dashan thought about it: "Why don't you put the food at the counter in front and let me watch?"
Li Mo shook her head, "No, the front is selling rouge and gouache, and it doesn't look like adding food, and only the people in the lounge will want to buy food, and if they don't put it in the lounge, who can see the food?"
Also, after entering the leisure room, who would come out for a stroll.
Everyone in the family has their own things to do, and it is true that no one can look at the food cabinet all day.
Li Mo sighed, "Forget it, let me think about it. Let Uncle Zhang open the cabinet first, and then think about the solution."
The next day, Li Mo still remembered this matter in her heart, but still couldn't think of a good solution.
Seeing Li Mo's sadness, Mei Zi asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? Tell me and we will help you think about it."
Li Mo looked at Meizi, and felt that it made sense. There are so many people, so maybe other people really have a solution, so she told Meizi about her troubles.
After hearing this, Meizi began to think about it, but found that she couldn't think of it either.
At this time, Qin's sister-in-law, who also heard it from the side, said, "Sister, I have a way, I don't know if it will work."
Li Mo hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, if it doesn't work, then think of other ways."
Sister-in-law Qin said: "Don't you want to cover the cabinet with something, so that others can see the food in the cabinet, but they can't get it, so they can only ask us to get it. In this case, we can use the net, Just like the nets around our fields to prevent animals from getting in, if you wrap the nets to the side of the cabinet, you won’t be able to see the food inside, and you won’t be able to reach in and reach the food with your hands.”
When Sister-in-law Qin said this, Li Mo suddenly realized that those nets around the fields or vegetable gardens were indeed very suitable.
Why didn't she think of it.
Li Mo happily thanked Qin's sister-in-law: "Thank you, Qin's sister-in-law, your method is very good."
Sister-in-law Qin waved her hand shyly: "It's nothing, as long as it can help you."
Li Mo turned to look for Song Dashan, and said to him: "I figured out a way, and it was Qin's sister-in-law who reminded me. Use the nets around the vegetable garden to surround the cabinet, so that people can see the food inside and make it out of reach. In this way, When you go to explain to Changbang, remember to tell him to let Uncle Zhang leave one side empty, and close the other side with wooden boards, and the top can be locked, so that guests can only let us get them, and we unlock them to take out things. There is no need to arrange for a special person to look at the cabinet."
Song Dashan also smiled, "This method is really good, I understand, now I will go to Changbang to talk, and Uncle Zhang will understand."
Li Mo was still afraid that there would be a gap in the middle, so if the verbal description was not clear, she simply found a piece of paper, drew a picture with a pen, and then marked the size on it. can understand.
Song Dashan went to Zhao Changbang with the sketch drawn by Li Mo, and explained the matter to him.
Zhao Changbang is also planning to find Song Dashan. He went back yesterday to visit their house in the village and brought General Xiaojun. He originally planned to send General Xiaojun to Song Dashan's store later. Now When Song Dashan came, he gave it directly to Song Dashan.
At this time, Jiang Xiaojun is no longer the little milk dog he used to be. He has grown up a lot. Although he is still very small, he can already run, jump and eat. It is the time when he is cute and invincible.
Song Dashan rubbed Jiang Xiaojun in his arms, thanked Zhao Changbang, and then drove back to the shop with Jiang Xiaojun.
