The Village Doctress Chapter 188: Crisis

"Gospel, I know you are a good person, and you don't forget the people in our village when you make money. I also know that you asked me to hire five-guarantee households to do work, and you are also sharing the burden for our village, otherwise we Every household in Hulu Village has to pay a few pennies to buy some thick rice noodles for these five-guarantee households to spend the winter." Li Zheng laughed, and first praised Lin Gospel.

Lin Fufu also gave a haha ​​evaluation in his heart.

"But good news, except for these five-guarantee households, some people in this village are having a hard time. You said that the work in the town is so good, can you ask for a few more people?" Li was stroking his goatee, Staring closely at Lin Fufu's face.

No matter how busy Lin Fufu was, he called ten people there, which was enough, and adding a few more would be white hair wages.

Besides, according to Li Zheng, the people he wants to add must be his relatives or something. Personal, but still have to speak well.

Suddenly she thought of Liu Qin. Liu Qin once said that the business of their restaurant is a little lighter now than when the new dishes first came out, but it's not that there are actually fewer customers, it's just that there are many customers Seeing that it's cold, I don't want to come out for this meal especially at night.

That is to say, those who originally had entertainment at night were not willing to go out to eat.

Lin Fufu thought of the modern food delivery service. In fact, the door-to-door service could also be developed in ancient times, but it can't be like the modern food delivery service, even if it is a fast food.

Lin Fufu's mind was spinning rapidly. If Liu Ji Restaurant wanted to provide food delivery service, it would also serve those wealthy households, because those wealthy households would definitely order a lot of dishes if they wanted to deliver food, and the restaurant would definitely make money. Then sending people to deliver meals is profitable.

Because of the cold weather, insulation measures are needed. Lin Fufu thought of the technique of steaming buns and steamed buns, so he put the dishes that need to be delivered on the steamer, and put a large iron bucket under the steamer with boiling water. boiled water, so that the temperature of the cooked vegetables can be maintained in the winter.

The more Lin Fufu thinks about it, the more he feels that this method is feasible. As long as Liu Ji Restaurant dares to introduce this method, the business in the cold winter will be much better than in previous years.

Then, we need food delivery staff. To be honest, it is quite troublesome to deliver a meal. It is estimated that two big men will be needed to deliver a meal. We need a lot of people who deliver meals like this.

Anyway, Lin Fufu's pretense is to recruit for the eldest son of the Liu family, so it's okay to agree to Li Zheng first.

However, the ugly words must be said first. After all, it is the winter when I go out in the cold wind and snow, so I can't have any complaints!

"Gospel, Gospel?" Seeing that Lin Fufu was silent for a while, as if he didn't hear the hint in his words just now, he felt a little displeased. The girl's eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking What do you think so engrossed.

"Uncle Lizheng." Lin Fufu responded, squinting his eyes and asked him with a smile, "It's not impossible to add a few people to work. I wonder if Uncle Lizheng has a quota?"

"Yes, yes!" Lizheng saw that she agreed so happily, the previous displeasure immediately dissipated, and he stretched out his hand to count, "Life is not easy for the orphans and widows of my third family, I want my nephew to go with me." Well, Qian Sanbao's family is also having a hard time. This year his family's wheat is running out, and they haven't harvested a few catties of wheat. I'm afraid they won't be able to pay for the food for the New Year's Eve dinner this year, so let Qian Sanbao go with him. There is Li Erniu's family. The father of Li Erniu's family fell and broke his leg this year as a clerk. He spent a lot of money to treat his leg, and he is also struggling. Li Erniu's family is one, and Wu Sanmei's family is also a Widow, there are only two daughters in the family, the eldest daughter is seventeen years old and has not been engaged yet, because the family is poor and cannot afford the dowry, those poor families, Widow Wu is not willing to marry her daughter, so let her eldest daughter Follow along to earn some dowry money, sorry to see you."

Lizheng mentioned four people in succession. Among these four people, the first one was his nephew, Qian Sanbao was his neighbor, Li Erniu's mother was his wife's cousin, and the last widow Wu was similar to him. Ending, but very few people know that's all.

Lin Fufu knew that he had selfish intentions, but when she saw that he had told everyone about their difficulties, it was fair to her, so she didn't say anything.

But the three men are okay, the last big girl is a bit difficult, if it can't be done, let her replace Lin Fang, she just let Lin Fang follow her to learn how to do business.

He made up his mind, Lin Fufu smiled and said, "I heard what Uncle Lizheng said, those families are really not doing well, so they are all from the same village, so I think I can help."

"I just know that you are good!" Li Zhengle's fangs were out of sight.

Lin Fufu said sternly: "However, before I go back to the village to find someone, the eldest son of Liuji Restaurant has something to say beforehand. Gospel thinks it is necessary to speak to Uncle Lizheng."

"Okay, the eldest son of Liuji Restaurant has something to say first, so hurry up and tell the good news." Li Zheng urged.

"That's right, these people in the village used to work, and their wages were six cents a day, including food and housing, but they had to listen to their masters and endure hardships. Even if it was a heavy snow day, the masters would let them out You can't refuse anything." Lin Fufu thought so much at first, but in fact, he had to listen to his boss, and he had already said it very thoughtfully, and then she added, "However, for the elders, work should be It's not heavy work, and it's all in Qingyang Town, so you won't go far."

Lizheng laughed when he heard it, "Gospel, look at what Mr. Liu said, isn't it right to use people's money to do things for others? What's the point of going out to deliver goods in a snowy day? Even if you let them dig iron Mine, as long as the price is right, it’s all right! It’s all farmers who are used to suffering, so don’t worry!”

Seeing Li expressing his position in this way, Lin Fufu nodded in satisfaction.

"What kind of work does the woman do? It's like delivering goods in a snowy day. Women can't do it." Li was thinking of the eldest girl of Widow Wu's family, and couldn't help frowning.

If Widow Wu hadn't pestered him several times to ask him to find a good house for her eldest girl to work as a maid to earn money, he wouldn't have found Lin Fufu to push her over.

The widow Wu is a stupid, ignorant, and ignorant woman! Is it a good thing for a girl to be sent to a rich family as a maid?

As for the beauty of her big girl, after a few months of raising her to be white and tender, if the master sees it, how can she get it? It's better to follow Lin Fufu to earn some money. Even if it costs three pennies a day, it's almost a tael of silver a month. It's no better than being a maid at someone else's house, beating and scolding. .

As a concubine, this family has been looked down upon all their lives in the village.

Seeing that he was worried about the daughter of Widow Wu's family, Lin Fufu changed his mind about this place. Among other things, at least this place is doing practical things for the people of Hulu Village, and it is also for the sake of the villagers.

Although there is a distinction between closeness and estrangement in his heart, it is also human nature. Just like her, the people she invited were her second uncle's family first, and then her neighbors, the Qian family's family.

"That sister, I will make proper arrangements." Lin Fufu said, but Li really planned for the eldest girl of Widow Wu's family, and told Lin Fufu of the situation of the eldest girl, hoping that she would help her. Then the child asked someone to find a good relative in the town.

Lin Fufu glanced at Lizheng strangely, why did he feel that Lizheng's entrustment was a bit unusual?

She understood what he meant, and she also felt that Li Zheng was doing the right thing. A pretty girl who went to work as a maid in a wealthy family might not get a good death, so if she could help that big girl, she Also willing to reach out.

But Lizheng's worried expression, and the way he planned for her everywhere, he looks like the big girl's father.

"I can't promise you about getting married." Lin Fufu said clearly, "That big girl sister has a mother, and her marriage should be discussed between her and her mother."

Lizheng blushed when he heard this, and he was worried too much, so he nodded quickly, "The Gospel is right, I'm also worried that her stupid mother will kill her for the rest of her life. Hmm... the Gospel can bring It would be good if she gave her a bowl of rice, and I dare not ask for too much."

Lin Fufu said in his heart: It's good that you know, I can't get along with these people, let's see if I'm in a village to help, don't use your nose to climb on your face.

Then it was agreed that these people would wait under the big pagoda tree at the head of the village tomorrow morning, and Mr. Liu would send a donkey cart to pick them up.

In fact, Lin Fufu hired a donkey cart to pick up people in the village at his own expense.

After the matter was settled, Lin Fufu and Li Zheng left.

When I got home, I had lunch, settled some things, hugged Xiaobao and Xiaobei for a while, Lin Fufu told Grandma Li and Nanny Qin again, and went to town in a donkey cart .

After getting off the donkey cart, she walked to her own house, and passed Madam Qin's makeup shop, and found Madam Qin standing helplessly in front of the shop door, holding an open face cream box in her hand, seeing The young woman leaned over and said something.

Lin Fufu was surprised. Half a month ago, Mrs. Qin's cosmetics business was doing very well. Mrs. Qin's face was all rosy, but how long did it take to come out to solicit customers?

With curiosity, she walked over and called out, "Miss Qin, what are you doing?"

Seeing that it was her, Mrs. Qin gave a wry smile, and threw the facial fat box in front of her, "Miss Lin, you saw that I am soliciting guests, but I have been busy all afternoon, but I haven't brought in five guests. I'm afraid this makeup shop of mine is going to close down."

Lin Fufu was shocked, and quickly asked, "How did you get to this point? All the things you buy here are from Caizhizhai."

Miss Qin smiled wryly, and stopped soliciting customers, she directly dragged Lin Fufu into her shop, "Miss Lin, I'm suffering, it's just in time for you to come, talk to me."

It doesn't matter whether Lin Fufu is busy or not, it can be seen that Mrs. Qin's business really has a big problem.

Lin Fufu hurriedly followed her in. She only made Xuemelting Cream now. This business was handed over to that man Huangfujin, but she will study other products in the future, especially cosmeceuticals. High, it is a high-end product, and most of her target customers are aimed at the wealthy class of Wei, so it is definitely beneficial to make friends with Lady Qin, who knows the way.

And now that she is in trouble, if she goes to send warmth, the friendship will naturally be deeper.

"Sit down." Mrs. Qin took her to the back hall and handed over the business to Xiao Er to greet her. Anyway, there are not many customers at this time, except for customers who buy eyebrow cream, lip balm and face powder.

Lin Fufu sat down as promised, Mrs. Qin brought her tea, and then sat across from her, she complained as soon as she sat down, "It's all because of the Beirong people that I can't sell my noodles here! "

"Blame the Beirong people?" Lin Fufu murmured, his heart moved, and he understood something, but heard Mrs. Qin continue to complain, "Isn't it! It's all their fault! You say it's also strange, because the Beirong people used to use Most of the various rouge gouaches from our Wei Dynasty came in. Especially the nobles of Beirong used the rouge gouache from Caizhizhai of our Great Wei Dynasty. They simply couldn't make such good things as ours. "

Lin Fufu nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"It's also a ghost. Just three days ago, Qingyang Town flowed a large amount of facial fat called Xuerong Paste from Beirong. The facial fat is not bad, but it is better than our Caizhizhai The batch of noodle fat is still inferior. But the noodle fat is cheap! It only sells for 18 yuan a box! And the worst batch of noodle fat in our Caizhizhai costs 30 yuan a box. How does it compare with others?"

It really is Xuerong Cream, it really is Huangfujin's handwriting!

Lin Fufu's eyes flashed brightly. That man moved really fast. In less than half a month, he promoted the mass production of Xuemelting Cream to Dawei, squeezing out the business of Caizhizhai.

Ms. Qin smothered her heart and vomited quickly, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Miss Qin, don't worry, the sales of facial fat have been affected here, right?" Lin Fufu lowered his eyes, looked at Lady Qin and asked.

Ms. Qin sighed, thinking that this is not an expert and she can't see the way.

He explained: "Miss Lin, you don't understand. In fact, the best seller in this powder shop is facial fat. Facial fat is always indispensable for big girls and young wives who want to keep their skin fair and supple. , The amount used is still very large, so generally speaking, a box of facial fat will be used for less than a month, and a box of facial fat will be used up in half a month."

After saying this, Mrs. Qin sighed again, "So, in the past, the most customers came to my powder shop to buy noodles. Then, when they were buying noodles, I would sell other products. Now, even if there are customers who come to buy other products, you have to know that lipstick is only used on the lips, eyebrow cream is only used on the eyebrows, face powder, as long as you don’t go out to entertain or have a bad complexion, Generally, they are not used. So any of these should be used for at least a month.”

After listening to her explanation, Lin Fufu nodded understandingly. Although she understands all these principles, it is not easy to understand if she is not in this line of work. So now she understands why Mrs. Qin sighed and looked sad. up.

"Then, can you also go to Beirong's Xuemelt cream to sell? The facial fat will be replaced with Xuemelt cream, and the rest will still be sold at Caizhizhai." Lin Fufu suggested, but he knew in his heart that maybe It was impossible for Caizhizhai to agree. She remembered that Mrs. Qin had told her that she had signed a contract with Caizhizhai, and that the rouge gouache was only sold by Caizhizhai.

Sure enough, Mrs. Qin shook her head with a wry smile, "If I can do this, I won't worry about it." The shops in Qinglian County are the most unlucky. The melted cream is first distributed from our county. Moreover, their owners do not choose customers at all, whether it is a big powder shop or a small traveler, as long as someone orders and delivers All the money will be supplied. If you go around our town, you can buy snowmelt cream from the street stalls or peddlers!"

Lin Fufu said in his heart: That's because Huangfu Jin listened to her suggestion. The direct result of such a strategy is that Xuerong Ointment became popular in Qinglian County of Great Wei at an extremely fast speed.

This is a great thing, after all, she is also the boss, half of the benefits can be divided!

However, when she suggested that Xuerong cream be sold at half the price of the lowest-grade facial fat in Caizhizhai, Huangfu Jin also took her suggestion. According to Mrs. Qin, those vendors sold Xuerong cream at 18 cents. The money was sold, probably because Huangfu Jin stipulated that they were only allowed to earn three Wen a box.

The advantage of doing this is that if the price is fixed, it will avoid vicious competition. It is a protective measure for small traders. It seems that Huangfu Jin is really a conscientious businessman!

No, he is so handsome, he is not a businessman at all, Lin Fufu thought.

Also, from Mrs. Qin's mouth, she also got a piece of news that the snow melting ointment is only flowing into Qinglian County for the time being, and it may be difficult to flow into a wider area of ​​Dawei, or the amount of flow will not be large. too big.

After all, in Dawei, besides Caizhizhai, there are many brands that also make good rouge powder.

Mianzhi's competitiveness in Dawei is much higher than that in Beirong, which relies on imports from Dawei.

So, Xuerong Cream is for low-level customers, and most of the target customers are Beirong people. As for the high-level customers, there are more luxurious products waiting for them.

After the snowmelt paste flowed into Qinglian County, Lin Fufu became more confident in making high-end rouge powder.

But seeing Mrs. Qin in such distress, Lin Fufu thought about how to help her.

Just as she was thinking in this way, Mrs. Qin suddenly said quietly: "Because my makeup shop hasn't made much money in the past half a month, Caizhizhai sent a letter to me to release me. The contract prevents me from selling rouge gouache in Caizhizhai. If I can’t sell out the remaining goods within a month, Caizhizhai will send someone to check and refund the purchase price to me. Pull them all away."

Lin Fufu was dumbfounded, no wonder Mrs. Qin said that she was afraid that she would close the shop. It turned out that Caizhizhai saw that the water flow here was not good, so she frightened Tongtong.

This is really a trick for unloading mills and killing donkeys. Lin Fufu narrowed his almond-shaped eyes. Take it back when you're done, she really doesn't like such ruthlessness.

"Caizhizhai is too impersonal." Lin Fufu curled his lips in displeasure. This is not a long-term way to do business. If she was asked to do it, she would never use such a stupid method. She sympathized Glancing at Mrs. Qin, if she abandons Caizhizhai and starts a new one, I don't know how Mrs. Qin will choose?
