The Village Doctress Chapter 242: Make snacks
Being asked so bluntly, the female customers who tried it but didn't buy it became a little embarrassed, and they blamed Mrs. Cheng for not hurting her back when she stood and talked, and not everyone was like her family. Men make money that way.
Not everyone can afford this twenty-eight taels of incense powder.
But among the female customers who didn't buy, there are also some silver, purely broken and reluctant.
Ms. Qin obviously knows the thoughts of all kinds of customers very well, so she smiled at everyone: "Then let me tell you first, this time there are only a few dozen boxes of goods, and I don't know when I will buy next time." , even if I want to enter, it depends on whether the master is willing to spend a lot of effort to do it."
"Oh, Mrs. Qin, why didn't you say so earlier? Then I'll buy another box!" Mrs. Cheng immediately asked the maid who was with her to pay for another box after hearing Mrs. Qin's words.
Those female customers who had money and were reluctant to buy heard it, so they gritted their teeth and bought it first.
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she sold more than a dozen boxes of jasmine powder at once. The delighted Mrs. Qin couldn't see her teeth.
In the end, the only ones left were ordinary female customers who really couldn't afford a box of incense powder with dozens of taels of silver.
Just this time, nearly twenty boxes of jasmine powder were sold, which is already a very impressive achievement.
Lin Fufu pursed her lips and smiled happily. After the number of customers decreased, she went up to say hello to Mrs. Qin and left her makeup shop.
This time she is going to Dr. Li's family clinic.
"Fufu, why are you here?" Seeing Lin Fufu coming, Li immediately walked out from behind the traditional Chinese medicine cabinet and looked at her in surprise.
Lin Fufu greeted him with a smile, and then said: "I want to buy a batch of the best fresh ginseng, which doesn't need to be too old. I'll also ask for a batch of dried astragalus, angelica, codonopsis, and sealwort."
"These are all tonics? Gospel, what do you want them for?" Li Yi looked at her worriedly, "You are also a doctor, and you know that this body can't be supplemented randomly..."
Seeing that Li Yi misunderstood, Lin Fufu covered his mouth and laughed, and looked at Li Yidao: "Don't worry, I'm not there to make up your body, didn't I tell you last time that I want to make rouge powder? I bought those medicinal materials to make materials."
Li Yi is a good person, and he cares about her like a big brother. He always thinks of her, and she doesn't want to hide it from him.
Although there is no need to tell her the specific steps of making rouge and gouache, it is better to tell him what she is doing.
"Make rouge powder? Use these medicinal materials?" Li Yi's eyes widened, and then he laughed again, "Gospel, what kind of whimsical ideas do you have in your head? Last time you said that clear oil can be used to make rouge powder Yes, now you need to use herbs again?"
There was no other meaning in Li Yi's tone, but a little helpless and doting.
Lin Fufu glanced at him, and said softly: "Actually, the one that uses clear oil has already been made, and the popular snow melting ointment is now on sale."
"Ah? Xuerong cream?" Li Yi's eyes widened, and he said in a daze, "I also use Xuerong cream. Uncle bought a box by himself."
Lin Fufu smiled and asked, "Is it easy to use?"
"It's easy to use! Your hands are no longer chapped." Li Yi laughed cheerfully, without any doubt about Lin Fufu's words, "Oh, why didn't you tell me when you finished it? Hey, that's not right... ..."
When Lin Fufu saw that he had finally come to his senses, he couldn't help but bent down and laughed, "There's nothing wrong with it. After I made it, I partnered with others to start the snow melting cream business, so you didn't see me doing it again." Already."
"So that's how it is." Li nodded, and didn't say much, and said directly: "Since you want it, then I will send a letter to our ancestral house and ask them to bring you the best medicinal materials." Come here, you can choose as you like."
Lin Fufu was very moved by Li Yi's righteousness.
"This is a good relationship. When I make a new rouge powder, I will definitely give it to Brother Li the best." Lin Fufu said happily.
When Li heard that she was going to give him rouge powder, he couldn't help laughing, "What do I, a big man, want rouge powder for? Just give me a few more boxes of snow melting cream."
Lin Fufu smiled, "It's no problem."
"Oh, by the way, if Brother Li sees jasmine seeds anywhere, no matter if they are white jasmine or purple jasmine seeds, buy them all for me. I need a lot of them." Lin Fufu warned again .
"Okay." Li Yi hurriedly agreed.
At this time, an apprentice came to call Li Yi, and Li Yi agreed. Seeing that he was really busy, Lin Fufu thanked him, said a few words, and left.
By the time she returned to her house, Lin Fen and Lin Fang had already ground the remaining nine catties of jasmine seeds into powder, boiled several catties of dried osmanthus, and made an extract up.
Because I was not sure about the remaining steps, I had to wait for Lin Fufu to come back.
Seeing their high enthusiasm, Lin Fufu couldn't help laughing.
Following the steps of making jasmine powder for the first time, the nine catties of jasmine powder were made into jasmine powder and placed there.
"Gospel, does Mrs. Qin like our jasmine powder?" After coming out of the laboratory, Lin Fang couldn't wait to ask.
"Guess." Lin Fufu made a fool of himself.
Lin Fen laughed, pointed at Lin Fufu's face and said, "Seeing how happy you are, it's not easy to guess? It must be that Mrs. Qin likes our Mogui powder very much!"
"Actually, I just came back now to see Mrs. Qin selling our jasmine powder." Lin Fufu frowned, and under the expectant eyes of Lin Fen, he said with a smile: "I just looked at half a cup. It’s time for tea, nineteen boxes of jasmine powder have already been sold!”
"Ah! That is to say, our jasmine powder is very popular with the guests?" Lin Fang jumped up, then turned around and held Lin Fen's hands tightly, both of them were so happy that they almost bleed tears.
Seeing the exaggeration of these two people, Lin Fufu couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed. "The guests like it very much. Our jasmine powder is always good."
"Yes, that is!" Lin Fen also nodded excitedly, "The jasmine powder made by Gospel is really good! It sells so well, why don't we make more?"
Lin Fen anxiously asked Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu shook his head with a smile, "Besides, I'm so old today, more than a month is enough. Face powder doesn't work as fast as face fat. I can do other things during this time."
"That's good too." Lin Fen nodded.
Their sisters are now sisters with Lin Fufu, so they naturally hope that the Gospel will get better and better.
Lin Fang seemed to think of something at this time, so she looked at Lin Fufu with bright eyes and asked, "Fufu, how much money should we give Miss Qin?"
Following Lin Fufu these days, Lin Fang's vision has broadened, and her mind has become much bigger. She doesn't even think about a box of incense powder worth tens of pennies.
In her mind, as good as her family's Gospel powder is, it should cost at least ten taels of silver for a box.
Seeing Lin Fen looking at her, Lin Fufu said a few words silently: "A box of twenty taels of silver."
"Wow!" Lin Fang and Lin Fang cheered, happier than celebrating the new year.
"It's really like the Gospel said, this jasmine powder really sold for dozens of taels of silver a box!" Lin Fang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
"This time, there are sixty-eight boxes of incense powder in that porcelain bottle, totaling 1,360 taels of silver. Mrs. Qin has paid me all in advance, and promised that the previous batches of incense powder will be fine. I paid the money in advance." Lin Fufu told them this, which also meant to give them confidence.
After listening to Lin Fufu's words, the eyes of Lin Fen and sisters really lit up.
"So, you see, this difficulty is temporary, as long as you are willing to use your brain, you will be able to find a way." Lin Fufu said again.
These words are actually to motivate them, so that they will not give up easily no matter what difficulties they encounter.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she has lived two lifetimes and still has thousands of years of cultural essence stored in her mind, she probably would be helpless.
But her words really inspired Sister Lin Fen, and the two of them had a flash of fortitude in their eyes, and then they nodded heavily.
"Okay, let's wait and see tomorrow." Lin Fufu waved at the two, "Now let's go to the shop to have a look at the fresh broad beans and bean sprouts."
After arriving at the shop, everything was in order. When they saw the three sisters coming, the villagers of Hulu Village greeted them kindly.
Seeing that everything was fine, Lin Fufu took the two sisters to Liu Qin's rented workshop to have a look.
Liu Qin now spends most of his time in his workshop. After all, the scale there is much larger than hers, and there are more workers there, so they need to be guarded.
As soon as he came out of the shop, Doutou met Liu Qin who came in a hurry.
"Oh, where are you sisters going?" Liu Qin grinned when he saw them.
"Unfortunately, I was going to Brother Liu." Lin Fang replied first, and after saying this, she lowered her head, and her ears turned red before she knew it.
Today, Liu Qin was wearing a brand-new royal blue robe. He looked capable and handsome, and he looked more and more romantic.
Lin Fufu didn't notice Lin Fang, so he raised his head and asked, "Brother Liu, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Liu Qin said: "Or my old man asked me to give you money in a hurry? I have to go to my workshop to watch after the money is delivered. Today, the brothers and their families are not feeling well. Going back."
Lin Fufu hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with their family, can they see a doctor?"
Seeing Lin Fufu's relationship with his brother, Liu Qin was in a good mood, so he smiled and said: "Hey, the family is either an old man or a child. It's getting colder and colder, so it's getting sick? The poor family can afford a doctor, and I'm alone I gave them dozens of pennies and sent them to buy medicine for the sick family."
Hearing this, Lin Fufu frowned, ignoring the doctor's random buying of medicines, this is not going to happen.
"Okay, this kind of thing happens every day, you can't worry about it." Seeing Lin Fufu frowning, Liu Qin knew that she had brought out the habit of being a doctor again, so he couldn't help persuading her.
In his eyes, there are a lot of pitiful people in this world, who can't be saved, so what is this serious illness and minor disaster?
If he can give a few tens of pennies to buy medicine for them, he is nosy.
After hearing what he said, Lin Fufu put the matter aside, looked at him and asked, "What money did you send me again?"
Liu Qin took out a new purse from his arms, "Didn't you ask my father to send someone to collect cabbage in your field? I went back and told him, and he couldn't wait to send someone there immediately Yes, I went to Hulu Village to find your second uncle and second aunt, took a big cart and came back."
When Lin Fufu thought about it, it turned out that this was the matter. Although the white cabbage was also a rare item, Lin Fufu didn't expect to sell it for much money, so he didn't take it to heart.
"Hey, this is three hundred and eighty-four taels of silver. A total of one thousand two hundred and eighty catties of cabbage was collected yesterday, and my father will still give you thirty cents per catty." Liu Qin put the purse Pass it to Lin Fufu and settle the account for her.
"This catty of cabbage sells for 30 Wen?" Lin Fen subconsciously exclaimed, then felt that the question was not good, and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Liu Qin said: "Isn't it thirty cents a catty? In normal times, no one would buy it for one penny and three catties, right? But who said it's already winter? It's hard to breathe when you go out Ice, where can there be fresh vegetables that won’t be frozen to death? Isn’t it the cabbage planted by the Gospel that is not afraid of freezing to death?”
Lin Fen nodded, she could think of this.
Rare things are more expensive.
Bean sprouts are the same as fresh broad beans.
"My father sells a plate of cabbage for one or two taels of silver. Giving you thirty cents a catty is not considered taking care of you, so you can accept it with peace of mind." Liu Qin said to Lin Fufu.
In fact, Lin Fufu was also shocked by thirty Wen a catty. She thought it would be expensive even if she sold it for more than a dozen Wen a catty. Unexpectedly, what Lao Liu gave was thirty Wen a catty.
"Uncle Liu took care of me." Lin Fufu said sincerely.
Liu Qin sneered, glanced at the three sisters foolishly, and said, "You guys are thinking too simply, the businessmen are not so kind, my father plans to buy all your cabbages, so we A restaurant can sell cabbage, anyway, the cabbage will not go bad, he will keep it and sell it slowly, and he can sell it until spring tomorrow."
This is true, but even if Lin Fufu knew that Old Liu had other thoughts, she didn't think it was a problem. She was originally on the same boat, and she also hoped that everyone who was on the same boat as her would be more and more happy. the better.
So she took the purse with a smile, and then shook the purse in her hand towards Lin Fen and Lin Fang.
Lin Fen and Lin Fang smiled at her knowingly, that is to say, they bought restaurants in Qinglian County with a few hundred more money.
Seeing that Lin Fufu took the money, Liu Qin said again: "My father asked me to tell you that he sent a few carriages today to collect almost all the cabbage in your field. The rest The silver will be given to you tomorrow."
"Success." Lin Fufu agreed.
"I heard that there are still some small ones that haven't grown well, so can they grow up if they stay in the field?" Liu Qin thought for a while, and suddenly asked gossip.
"Why are you worrying about farm affairs?" Lin Fufu asked with a smile.
Liu Qin rubbed the back of his head, narrowed his eyes and said, "I was just thinking, if we can continue to grow up, we won't have to ask my father to buy it when we open a restaurant in the county in the spring."
After listening to Liu Qin's words, Lin Fufu shook his head and laughed.
This father and son are really smart.
But what Liu Qin said is also right, when she returns to Calabash Village, she will go to the field to see if it can be raised well.
"I'll go back to Calabash Village to look at the fields, so you don't have to worry about it." Lin Fufu smiled.
Seeing that nothing happened, Liu Qin bid farewell to the three sisters.
Lin Fufu has nothing to do.
Suddenly she remembered the idea of selling salted peanuts and spiced broad beans that she thought of last time at Mochizuki Tower.
It's all right now, and sister Lin Fen is by my side again, so I can do it now.
Although there was an accident at the Wangyue Tower last time, the common people in the town have no place for entertainment other than these places. So after the Moon Tower is repaired, there will be a lot of guests at the Goulan House.
"Sister Fang, how many dried broad beans are left at home? And last time I asked the big girls to collect dried peanuts and dried peas, are they still harvesting?" Lin Fufu asked Lin Fang.
Because Lin Fang was in the town during this time, all these were left to Lin Fang to take care of.
Seeing her asking, Lin Fang replied neatly: "We have a lot of dried broad beans and dried peanuts in our shop. These days, Da Ya and Da Ya Niang have been helping us collect them."
Lin Fufu nodded in satisfaction, looked at the two sisters and said, "Come on, let's go to the grocery store to buy some salt and seasonings."
"Don't you have more at home? What are you going to buy again?" Lin Fang thought that Lin Fufu was bored and wanted to go shopping.
On the contrary, Lin Fen looked farther away, glared at Lin Fang, and said angrily: "Isn't Gospel doing everything for her reason? You're the only one who talks too much."
Being offended by her own sister, Lin Fang was not angry, she stuck out her tongue at Lin Fen and stopped talking.
Lin Fufu took the two sisters to the grocery store and bought twenty catties of salt, two catties of star anise, two catties of cumin, two catties of cinnamon, one catty of fragrant leaves, one catty of Angelica dahurica, and one catty of fragrant slices.
Then I went to the Li Family Medical Center again to buy a few catties of licorice and a few catties of new astragalus.
Then Lin Fen and Lin Fang pushed a few bags of dried peas, broad beans and dried peanuts from the shop back to the house with their wheelbarrows several times.
Lin Fufu ordered Lin Fen and Lin Fang to fetch well water and wash the dried broad beans, dried peas, and dried peanuts carefully.
After cleaning, beat it with a mallet to break the dried broad beans and dried peanuts,
Then went to boil several large iron pots of boiling water, scooped the boiling water into several empty water jars in the yard, and soaked the washed dried broad beans and dried peanuts in the water jars.
The cleaned and dried peas are boiled in boiling water, then picked up and drained, and put on the heated kang to dry.
Both Lin Fen and Lin Fang did not understand what Lin Fufu did, but Lin Fufu asked them to remember this step by step.
The two sisters also vaguely knew that Lin Fufu was teaching them something again, and they both remembered to be serious.
Dried broad beans and dried peanuts need to be soaked for a long time, but the cooked dried peas have already been dried.
Lin Fufu called Lin Fang with a smile: "Sister Fang, move the lard pot at home to the pot, and I will make rare snacks for you."
Lin Fang is not very old after all, and immediately went away happily after hearing the words.
Lin Fufu looked at Lin Fen again and said: "Sister Fang, I guess this jar of lard is not enough, you can buy some lard from the pork case again, no matter how much you buy, and put the money in my room, you Just take the purse and go."
"Ah, no, what are we going to do? Can we get so much lard?" Lin Fen asked.
