The Village Doctress Chapter 241: Fragrance powder is on sale
"Mossy osmanthus powder?" Mrs. Qin nodded, and said with a smile: "It's a good name, fresh and unique, and the most important thing is that this powder has a light scent of osmanthus, so the name fits it well. After a pause, he asked again: "Then what box are you going to use to pack this powder?"
Lin Fufu couldn't afford a powder box made of silver, and she wouldn't use it.
Of course, there are also wooden and copper incense powder boxes on the market, neither of which cost much money.
But she still prefers porcelain powder boxes.
Especially the sweet white porcelain powder boxes of meticulous flowers and birds and maids, which are chic and elegant, and are most suitable for those ladies in ancient times.
And Da Wei's sweet white porcelain technology is very high-level, and the colors filled are not only blue and white, but also various other bright colors, which are very exquisite and elegant.
"Use a sweet white porcelain powder box." Lin Fufu said to Mrs. Qin.
Miss Qin thought about it, and felt that a powder box made of sweet white porcelain is also very good. Although it is not as good as a powder box made of silver, it still does not lose its quality.
"But even this sweet white porcelain powder box is not cheap." Mrs. Qin looked at Lin Fufu.
The sweet white porcelain is complicated to make, and a small sweet white porcelain powder box, if you want something more exquisite, it will cost at least one tael of silver.
Lin Fufu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "But the incense powder I want to sell is not cheap. Although I want to save a lot of money, this box is the countertop of the incense powder. I can't let the countertop keep up with it." Yeah."
Miss Qin also laughed, she is in this business, so she naturally knows the importance of appearance, so she nodded and said, "That's the reason too. Then use a sweet white porcelain powder box, I know this Burning kiln factory, I will help you run this matter."
Hearing what Mrs. Qin said, Lin Fufu couldn't wait for it, and immediately said: "Well, I will trouble Mrs. Qin. All the good rouge powders I make in the future will be sold here first!"
"Can you make other rouge and gouache? That's a good relationship!" Mrs. Qin was also happy when she heard her promise, and raised her palm to her and said, "Then it's a deal."
Lin Fufu stretched out his hand and clapped Mrs. Qin, and said solemnly, "It's a deal!"
"Okay, then have a sip of tea first." Mrs. Qin pushed the tea in front of Lin Fufu towards her, then got up, "I still have some vacant powder boxes here, I'll take the ones you brought today The powder is in a box."
Lin Fufu nodded to her, and then served tea.
Ms. Qin came back soon, and came in with half a bag of incense powder.
She put the powder boxes on the table one by one for Lin Fufu to look at, and asked, "Look, Gospel, how about these sweet white porcelain powder boxes? I washed them last time and dried them. Prepare to install the new fragrance powder."
Lin Fufu took a look and found that these powder boxes were decorated with patterns of various flowers and birds, each one was very delicate and elegant, and he was very satisfied.
"This is very pretty, I just use these." After speaking, he helped Lady Qin put the powder into the powder box, and then pressed it with a thin porcelain piece to make it thicker and smoother.
The two of them packed more than 60 boxes in total.
"Okay, it's really fragrant and creamy." Mrs. Qin said with satisfaction as she rubbed the powder on the back of her hand.
Lin Fufu pursed his lips and smiled, and said to her, "I just made this, so it only has the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus. Next, I will make various face powders that are good for the skin, such as using astragalus and angelica I can also make it with plum blossoms. In spring, all kinds of fragrant flowers bloom, and I will use those fragrant flowers to make face powder or rouge ointment.”
When Mrs. Qin heard that she had such a big plan, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Gospel, you are amazing, you want to make it big?"
"Yeah." Lin Fufu nodded, his almond eyes gleamed, and he looked at Mrs. Qin confidently and said, "Since I'm going to do it, it's not a small matter, it's natural to do it on the big side of."
Paused, she looked at Lady Qin more seriously, "I think this business can go on, but I have no experience in business, so I plan to partner with you, Lady Qin. I will make a finished product, you Sell it for me, of course you can also sell other rouge powders, I don't interfere with this."
Ms. Qin only realized now that she heard it. It turned out that Lin Fufu, the little girl, had already thought about it. She had already planned to partner with her when she was advised not to give up the business because of the matter of Caizhizhai last time.
As well as her words of encouragement and enlightenment, Mrs. Qin was immediately moved. This little girl has been thinking about her for a long time!
"Gospel, you can think of me, this is my blessing! I will partner with you!" Lady Qin said without hesitation.
Last time, she accepted Lin Fufu's love. When she went to get Xuerong Ointment, each box was a penny cheaper than others.
Since she started selling Xuemelt Cream, she has earned a lot more money than ordinary makeup shops on this journey alone.
Don't look at it as just a piece of paper, but it adds up. The Gospel did what it said last time, so this time she also believed in Gospel Lin.
"I knew you would be willing." Lin Fufu smiled gratifiedly.
Ms. Qin patted her hand and smiled excitedly: "How can I not want such a good thing? I'm a fool and I don't want to!" Then she looked at the boxed incense powder on the table , "Gospel, don't worry, this jasmine powder is so easy to use, as long as the ladies and ladies in our town who are not short of cosmetics and money use it once, they will definitely like it. We don't have to worry about selling it!"
Lin Fufu nodded, she thought so too.
But as Mrs. Qin once said, the jasmine powder she made is not well-known after all, and when it hits the market, the price of this jasmine powder should not be too high.
"I just talked so much, but I didn't talk about the price. Now let's talk about the price." Qin Niangzi looked at Lin Fufu and smiled.
Lin Fufu nodded, "I'm waiting."
Ms. Qin first took a small sip of tea, and then said: "According to the most expensive incense powder in Caizhizhai, a box of incense powder can be sold for sixty-eight taels of silver, but the incense powder said To be honest, I have never bought it, the cost is too high. And we are only in a small town, and I am afraid that it will not be sold after a long time, or it will be broken, so the most expensive incense powder I bought is a box of forty-eight taels of silver. Gospel, to be honest, I don't know what price you want to sell this powder."
Lin Fufu was a little surprised at the sixty-eight taels of incense powder in a box.
It is indeed expensive!
Even if it is a powder box made of silver, I still think it is expensive.
You know, the fertile land she bought was only fifteen taels of silver per acre, and after that box of high-end face powder was wiped off, four and a half acres of fertile land would be wiped away.
Seeing that Lin Fufu remained silent, Mrs. Qin said: "Actually, I think the incense powder you make is better than the incense powder from Caizhizhai. I don’t want to be in those rich and wealthy places in the south of the Yangtze River, so I don’t think this price is appropriate.”
Of course, the consumption level in a town can't compare with the wealthy cities in the south of the Yangtze River, but Lin Fufu thinks that the consumption level in Qinglian County can be comparable to some wealthy cities in the south of the Yangtze River.
Of course, now that she has made a face powder and sold it in the town because of impromptu money, the price will naturally not be comparable to the most expensive face powder in Caizhizhai.
It is also because the jasmine powder is not strictly a cosmeceutical.
Those real cosmeceuticals need to add all kinds of precious medicinal material extracts, so they need to be sold at a high price.
But Jasmine powder also needs to be sold for a box of dozens of taels of silver, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for future cosmeceuticals.
I made up my mind, so Lin Fufu smiled and said, "How about setting a price of twenty-eight taels of silver per box?"
"A box of twenty-eight taels of silver?" Mrs. Qin thought it was a bit cheap, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"It's okay, although it's a bit of a loss, but there will be more people buying in the future, so it's enough to increase slowly. Don't rush now." Qin Niangzi said.
Lin Fufu shook his head with a smile, "Miss Qin, I don't plan to raise the price. Let me tell you, this jasmine powder is the lowest grade among the incense powder I make. So, the price is set at Here it is."
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Qin's expression froze.
But then I made an important decision in my heart, "Well, if you expand the business of rouge and gouache in the future, I won't sell other brands anymore! I will only sell yours!"
What Lin Fufu wanted was her words, and he said happily after hearing the words: "Okay, I'll just wait for your words." Then he said: "Then Miss Qin, I will discuss something with you."
"Tell me." Mrs. Qin looked at Lin Fufu very seriously, seeing that her tea cup was a little shallow, she refilled her tea.
Lin Fufu took a sip of the tea continued by Mrs. Qin, and said with a smile, "That's my plan, because I need a lot of money now. So I wonder if you can take the previous batches of jasmine powder Pay me the money for the jasmine powder, and I will make more later, you can sell it first, and then pay the bill when it is sold."
Ms. Qin was stunned, and suddenly covered her lips and laughed: "Look at what you said, of course it's okay. When I was doing business in Caizhizhai, although they could also pay the deposit first, but the deposit was all It's half of the original price, when did I not grit my teeth and pay their deposit first?"
Hearing what she said, Lin Fufu felt relieved.
She thought that the deposit she paid was a small amount, and she paid a symbolic amount, and she would pay it together later.
"Since you are short of money for Gospel, I will pay you all the money for these incense powders. If they sell well, I will go to you in person at some point." Mrs. Qin said straightforwardly.
When Lin Fufu heard her say this, he was very grateful.
This is the benefit of friends. It is said that many friends have multiple paths. This is not just talking.
So sometimes, she would rather be kind and helpful to others.
Of course, that also depends on the person.
"Miss Qin, I'll give you twenty taels of silver for a box of jasmine powder." Lin Fufu said, this price is actually very affordable, and Miss Qin can earn at least seven taels for a box of incense powder The money is gone, and this profit is very rich.
Ms. Qin is also satisfied with this price, at least the purchase price that Lin Fufu gave her is more than double what she earned when she sold Caizhizhai's products before.
Lin Fufu said with a smile: "Then, I don't care about the powder box. I can take care of it if I want to, but then I can only give Qin Niangzi twenty-two taels of silver for a box."
Although the price of the sweet white porcelain is not cheap, but a box can not be sold for two taels of silver, this account will be settled by Mrs. Qin, she said with a smile: "I already understand the price you gave, don't worry Alright, this powder box is mine."
Lin Fufu nodded with a smile, and had a good chat with Mrs. Qin.
When the shop in front became lively again, Mrs. Qin said: "The number of customers in the shop in front has increased again. For the good news, I will calculate the money for you first, so I won't accompany you to talk about it. When I have time to spare Talk to you again."
"You'd better stop being idle, it's good to be busy every day." Lin Fufu joked with a smile.
Who wants to be idle in business, naturally the busier the better.
"You narrow-minded girl." Mrs. Qin shot Lin Fufu a look, then picked up the abacus and began to type: "There are sixty-eight boxes of jasmine powder in total, one box of twenty taels of silver, and the total is one thousand and three One hundred and sixty taels of silver." After doing the calculation, he looked at Lin Fufu and asked, "Gospel, do you see it right? How about doing the calculation again?"
"Yes, there is no need to plan." Lin Fufu smiled.
Mistress Qin also smiled, "You wait."
After speaking, she got up and went to her room in the back hall to get the silver.
When she was young, Mrs. Qin came out with a stack of silver notes and a few silver ingots.
"Come on, these are silver bills, a total of one thousand three hundred taels, and this is sixty taels of silver." Mrs. Qin pushed the silver bills and silver to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu smiled and folded the silver bills and put them in the inner pocket of his clothes, and then put the six ten taels of silver ingots in his purse.
After collecting the money, he stood up and said to Mrs. Qin, "I'll take a look in your store for a while, and now I can sell the jasmine powder."
"I think so too." Mrs. Qin smiled happily with her mouth open, and suppressed her excitement: "Gospel, you can also help me take out a few boxes, just as you are here to help me take care of the business."
Miss Qin was not polite to Lin Fufu, Lin Fufu readily agreed, and helped Lady Qin take some jasmine powder out.
As soon as he went out, someone saw Mrs. Qin with sharp eyes.
So he complained to Mrs. Qin: "Master Qin, everything else in your shop is okay, but this powder is too dry, and it's so uncomfortable to rub it dry on your face. !”
Ms. Qin was not only not annoyed when she heard her complaints, but she also grinned, "Mrs. Cheng, to tell you the truth, all the incense powders were like this before, and all of them were dry. It's really hard for you." .”
Ms. Cheng is not very old, she seems to be in her prime, and when she was still in love with beauty, her husband ran two roasted seeds and nuts shops in the town. The business was very good, and the family had some money.
After listening to Mrs. Qin's words, she complained more on her face, "I know, so I want you to find a way to bring in some good ones. We are windy in the north, and our faces are already It's easy to dry, just rub the face powder again, good guy, the powder scum is about to fall off."
This Mrs. Cheng is bubbly and bright, and the female guests all laughed when they saw what she said was funny.
"That's right, this face powder is better from Caizhizhai." A woman in an overdress said, shaking off her handkerchief.
Someone heard her words, and said: "Caizhizhai's face powder is better, but it's also dry and expensive. It looks like it's not as good as this price. It's just rubbing on the face in the winter. It's uncomfortable, but I can bear it at ordinary times."
Listening to the complaints of these female customers about Xiangfen, Lin Fufu and Qin Niangzi exchanged glances.
There are smiles in both of their eyes.
Miss Qin nodded to Lin Fufu again, then cleared her throat and said, "Dear guests, I know what everyone is thinking, and I don't like that dry face powder either, but I couldn't help it before. Now Let me bring you some good news, my small shop asked for a new non-drying powder made by a master flour miller, and it happened to be delivered to me today. Everyone, come and try it!"
As soon as Mrs. Qin finished speaking, the female guests surrounded her one after another.
Mrs. Na Cheng raised her neck and asked, "Shopkeeper Qin, is this serious? Don't play tricks on us!"
"That's right! We are all regular customers of your shopkeeper Qin!"
Facing everyone's doubts, Mrs. Qin said calmly: "How can my shopkeeper Qin play tricks on all the distinguished guests? Come, come, here is a ready-made incense powder, everyone can try it , let's speak with facts!"
Lin Fufu has retreated to the door of the back hall at this time. Now she often sees doctors for the wives, grandmas and ladies of rich families in the town. Some of them are familiar faces. It is better to avoid this occasion.
Ms. Qin has already opened a box of jasmine powder for the female guests to try, and the effect is naturally very gratifying.
The female customers who tried it were surprised and pleasantly surprised.
Especially those female customers who like to buy things from Caizhizhai, they were all surprised: "This incense powder is really better than Caizhizhai's incense powder."
"Shopkeeper Qin's face powder is expensive, right?" Some female customers were reluctant to buy it, but they still wanted to ask.
Ms. Qin smiled and shook her head when she heard this, "This incense powder is called Mogui powder, it is not as famous as Caizhizhai, so the price is still cheaper than the best types of incense powder in Caizhizhai Quite a few."
Someone said: "The best types of incense powder in Caizhizhai cost tens of taels of silver a box, and this jasmine powder is definitely not cheap."
"How much is the price for a box?" The beauty-loving Mrs. Cheng asked excitedly. She has also used the best types of face powder in Caizhizhai, although she is reluctant to buy the best ones every time. Yes, but it is still possible to buy a few boxes a year for use.
So, if such an easy-to-use jasmine powder can be cheaper, she is still willing to buy more.
Seeing that she asked Mrs. Qin the price first, the female guests who had tried the jasmine powder all looked at Mrs. Qin nervously.
I expect to hear a not-so-expensive price from her.
Mistress Qin smiled slightly and said, "This jasmine powder is twenty-eight taels of silver a box." After finishing speaking, she watched everyone's expressions.
Sure enough, some female customers shook their heads in disappointment, while others gritted their teeth and planned to buy it.
But a lady like Mrs. Cheng who loves beauty and has a few coins laughed, "The price is really cheap."
Those female guests who are not as rich as Mrs. Cheng look at her with envy.
So at the moment, several wives asked the maids or mother-in-law who followed them to come out and buy them with silver.
Lin Fufu has sharp eyes, and he sold five boxes in such a short time.
"This powder is really good, it's really moisturizing when rubbed on the face, it doesn't have the dry feeling like other powders, and it also has a very fresh and pleasant scent of osmanthus... Hey, why don't you buy it? ?" Madam Cheng saw that there were only a few buyers, so she looked suspiciously at the female customers who tried it but didn't buy it.
