Chapter 36 Talking too much brings tears
To open a beverage workshop, a stove must be indispensable. There are only two stoves in the yard now, which will definitely not be enough. Lin Xiaoman went to find a bricklayer and built a new stove against the wall of the outer room of each house.<
/p>
The bricklayer advised: "Girl, your stove is not built right. The smoke cannot be discharged and people in the house are choked to death. Besides, your stove is too short. How tiring it is to boil water and cook?"
"Uncle, I have a way to exhaust the smoke. Just repair the stove."
Seeing that Lin Xiaoman refused to listen, the bricklayer had no choice but to repair the stove according to her request.
After the stove was repaired, the fourth grandma came over to see it and was very satisfied, but she also had the same doubts as the bricklayer, "Xiao Man, the stove is repaired in the house, how can it not choke people when it is lit?"
Lin Xiaoman explained: "In a few days, when the kang is put up, the flue will be repaired so that people won't be choked."
The fourth grandma also heard that Lin Xiaoman wanted to make people sit on the kang, but no one had ever seen a kang, so they didn’t know what it looked like. But Xiaoman had been studying and reading with her father since she was a child, and she must know better than her.
There were too many old ladies who couldn't read a few words, so the fourth grandma didn't say anything else.
In the afternoon, Lin Erhu's full porcelain bottle was delivered to Lin Erhu on the handlebar. In addition to the cream, Lin Erhu also delivered the clam oil he ordered online a few days ago. Lin Xiaoman wanted to deliver it to Shopkeeper Feng.

Walking to the front of the store, he saw Qingshu talking to Lin Yong. Lin Yong put meat and soup into the jar Qingshu brought and asked with a smile: "Master Lu is not here today?"
Qingshu made a sad face, "Master went to the countryside for inspection and won't be back for three days. He asked me to come back to buy hot pot chicken and send it over. The road was so bumpy, it took more than an hour to go back and forth, and I didn't dare to hurry up.
."
"Oh, this is an estate in the countryside. I thought rich people would ask their stewards to go to the countryside to inspect the estate. Why do you want your young master to go there in person?"
Qingshu hesitated to speak, and finally just shook his head, "Oh, I won't mention it anymore. If I talk too much, I will shed tears."
Lin Yong imagined a grand drama of intrigue in a big house. The biological mother of a pampered rich son died early, and his vicious stepmother, who had never fought against him, had all the family property and the late mother's dowry taken away by her stepmother. He was also sent to a distant place.
The suffering of Zhuangzi in the countryside is as pitiful as a cabbage in the field.
It’s no wonder that when I saw him yesterday, he had a cold expression on his face, which had been polished by hard work. He also sighed, “Oh, it’s not easy!”
The two were silent, one sighed, full of sympathy; the other frowned, as if he was worrying about the future.
When he heard Qingshu say that Lu Jin was going to the countryside, Lin Xiaoman thought of some of the abruptness in the words between the master and the servant in the past few days, and couldn't help but have a guess in his heart, but he was not sure yet.
After loading, there were twelve portions of hot pot chicken, twelve portions of vegetables and steamed buns, totaling 720 Wen. Lin Xiaoman took the initiative and collected the 700 Wen, and asked Lin Yong to pack a few more spoonfuls of meat.
Qingshu thanked Lin Xiaoman and did not forget to remind Lin Xiaoman, "Little shopkeeper, my master wants to ask you, when will there be more delicious food?"
Lin Xiaoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She never expected that such a person who usually looks cold and cold could actually be a foodie.
"Let Mr. Lu wait for a few more days. Then I will get new food. Even if it is not sold in the store, I will ask Mr. Lu to try it first."
Originally, Lin Xiaoman only felt grateful to Lu Jin, but after guessing his identity, Lin Xiaoman was determined to find a backer for himself.
Qingshu thanked him again and again, "Thank you so much, little shopkeeper. When I go back, I can have an explanation with the master."
Fourth Grandma called Qingshu over to pick up the packed sour plum soup. Lin Xiaoman then saw that Qingshu not only brought a jar for hot pot chicken, but also brought a jar for sour plum soup, and asked Fourth Grandma to fill fifty bowls of sour plum soup.<
/p>
After paying for the sour plum soup, Lin Xiaoman helped lift the two jars to the car that Qingshu drove over. Qingshu had long known that Lin Xiaoman was very strong, but considering that the jars weighed fifty or sixty pounds, she lifted them lightly with one hand.
After getting into the car, I couldn't help but give Lin Xiaoman a thumbs up, "The little shopkeeper is so energetic!"
Lin Xiaoman smiled shyly, "In our countryside, we have to work in the fields since we were young, so we are stronger than girls in the city."
Qingshu has never been in contact with the country girl next to him, so he doesn't know if what Lin Xiaoman said is true, but he still admires her in his heart.
After Qingshu left, Lin Xiaoman carried the packaged cream on his back and went to Feng Ji Rouge Shop. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that it was full of people. Shopkeeper Feng and several waiters were talking with thirsty lips.
Lin Xiaoman sat next to him and waited for Shopkeeper Feng to finish his work. When he heard that a box of clam oil cost ten cents and balm sold for three hundred cents, he secretly praised in his heart: Shopkeeper Feng is really a profiteer, and he sold it several times after changing hands.
Price, if he doesn’t make money, who will?
What’s rare is that it’s so expensive and the business is still so good.
Shopkeeper Feng finished his work and saw Lin Xiaoman. When he came to greet him, he saw Lin Xiaoman looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "Shopkeeper Feng, business is booming."
"It's all thanks to the little shopkeeper." Shopkeeper Feng blushed, and after sitting down, he explained to Lin Xiaoman, "This price is also set after weighing the price. The goods sent by the shopkeeper are rare and good. I want to share with the shopkeeper.
If the shopkeeper continues to cooperate, he will not only sell it in Qingping County, but also send it to provincial capitals and other places. Even if we exclude the waste of manpower and material on the road, we won’t be able to make that much money."
"Shopkeeper Feng doesn't need to explain, I already know it. I'm very satisfied with the price that shopkeeper Feng paid for it. Shopkeeper Feng can sell it at a high price because of shopkeeper Feng's ability. I won't think too much about it."
Shopkeeper Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her expression was calm and she didn't look like she was telling lies.
Feng Ji has more than a dozen branches across the country. If Lin Xiaoman can bring in more good products in the future, he might be able to help the Feng family open a few more shops.
The more shops there are, the more expenses are required. The profit of two or three times in the rouge and gouache business is really not too high.
Lin Xiaoman took out the balm, cream and clam oil and showed them to Shopkeeper Feng.
The clam oil sold before was all in small boxes. This time, there were large boxes and medium boxes. After bargaining, the small box cost three cents per box, the medium box cost six cents per box, and the large box cost ten cents per box. Lin Xiaoman said this.
The basket I brought this time was sold to Shopkeeper Feng for a total of twenty taels of silver.
After that, he signed a contract to exclusively supply to Feng Ji in the future. Lin Xiaoman and Shopkeeper Feng were very satisfied, "Uncle Feng, if we have any good things in the future, as long as you don't lie to us, I will give them to you."
Send it."
Shopkeeper Feng patted his chest and assured, "Uncle Feng is the most fair in doing business, how can he lie to you children? If you have good things in the future, just send them over. Uncle Feng will not let you suffer. It's just that you can give away more of this stuff."
?The amount you are sending now may not be enough to sell in Qingping County, let alone sending it to other places."
Lin Xiaoman wanted to sell him more, but she couldn't explain how the two of them could make so many. She could only think: "I'll give it a try. I'll have to see if I can make it."<
/p>
"Thank you, little shopkeeper."
In fact, shopkeeper Feng wanted to make the secret recipe, but Lin Xiaoman disagreed. He was not a person who took things by force, so he could only ask Lin Xiaoman to make as many as possible.
