After dressing as a widow

The ones who came here at this moment were all maids sent by Zhou Zhengchu and his family members who personally came to pass on the message. Suddenly, three young maids squeezed out from the front, each holding two beautifully packaged, boxy boxes. gift box.

Others who hadn't squeezed in asked: "Is it the jade powder made by Boss Lin Zhenlin!?"

The servant girl of the Shifu who got these gift boxes almost immediately lifted her chin slightly and said with a smile: "It is indeed the jade face powder, flower dew, and lipstick made by Boss Lin Zhenlin. I put them on my wife all day long." Makeup, I have long been familiar with things, and I can tell whether it is true or not as soon as I smell it."

The servant girl said: "The seller on the boat also opened a copy there. This time, the high-end floral dew has a different taste and is very good."

At the end, the servant girl added: "There are also mid-range and low-end ones, except that you can't buy the newly released two-color lipsticks, and the scent of toilet water doesn't taste like high-end ones, and the effect of wiping them on your hands is the same."

Maids are also greedy for such good things, but before Lin Zhen's small workshop produced very little, and they only sold them to the wives and ladies in the house, so these servants naturally couldn't buy them.

But when she went to buy it for Mrs. Shi just now, she found out that this time there are not only high-end ones specially for ladies and gentlemen, but also mid-range and low-end ones that can be bought with silver. The difference is that they can't buy the new two-color lipsticks, but at least they can buy them.

The three of them bought one each.

Those who haven't bought it yet heard what she said, and stared straight ahead, feeling extremely hot.

Originally, she was just here to try her luck, but the cute girl who was unwilling to hear her said that, grabbed the little sister's hand and jumped up and down: "It's really true, let's go forward!"

Zhou Zhengchu watched the vigor of the two girls rushing into the crowd, and deeply felt how prosperous Boss Lin's business was.

Yan Canghai, who was watching the excitement on the boat, was even more so. He never thought that it would be the scene in front of him. The servants who had obviously been trained for many years and came out of the mansion with good manners, as if they were afraid of being slow, handed over the money one by one. For those who Lin Zhen stayed here, a box of small things called white jade powder cost three taels of silver, jasper powder and purple jade powder cost three taels of silver per box, and oriole jade powder was more expensive. A box of three twenty-eight coins.

There is also the thing called flower dew in a porcelain bottle, five taels of silver a bottle.

Two taels of silver for a tube of lipstick.

Although Lin Zhen explained to him that mid-range and low-end toiletry are cheaper, Yan Canghai thought about it, so the prices of jade powder and lipstick are still the same.

After getting a number that was enough to make his heart beat, Yan Canghai said to the crew on his ship: "You guys help move the cargo out of the cabin, and take care of the people so that nothing happens."

"Yes." The crew of Yan's Merchant Ship was also shocked by the booming business, they rough old men couldn't figure out what was so good about grabbing that thing.

The surrounding merchants also looked at the Yan's merchant ship that was about to be sunk a little, and called their subordinates to find out what they were selling.

The two girls who got the news in advance and came earlier than other rich ladies and wives finally squeezed in. The two of them didn't expect high-end jade powder flower dew that was only sold to official women, so they went straight to the mid-range ones: " All the Yurong Fen Hualu lipsticks come in three, no, four, no, no, ten!"

The cute girl can't wait to take away the jade powder flower dew and lipstick in the box now. There are so many sisters and sisters-in-law in her family, it's not enough.

The man who had received Lin Zhen's order a long time ago said: "I'm sorry, miss, because the goods we brought this time are small, our boss specially ordered that one person can only buy one copy, so that more people can use this jade powder .”

"Ah..." The lovely-looking girl pouted, she had been asking for a long time how one serving would be enough, and she knew that a bottle of flower dew would only last seven or eight days for those noble ladies and ladies, and the mid-range ones were better than the high-end ones. The flower dew is smaller and not enough.

The person who specially packaged the Yurong Fen Hua Lu lipstick in white and handed it to them said: "Miss, don't worry, Boss Lin has opened a gouache shop in Lizhou, and he is making a steady stream of them, and new products will come in a few days. "

The cute-looking girl opened her eyes slightly, and said in surprise, "Really?"

"Really, so girls can just buy one copy, and the dew should not be left for too long, or it will not be usable if the smell changes."

"Okay, then get me one."

"Okay." Repeated the words countless times, the person who took the things took the jade face powder, toilet water, and lipstick handed over by the person next to him, put them in a box and handed them to the lovely-looking girl.

The girl's boudoir's close friend bought it, and the two of them hugged the things tightly in front of them and squeezed down the way they came.

In a place with fewer people, the lovely-looking girl couldn't help but open the exquisitely crafted wooden box, picked up a flat porcelain box with azure blue after rain, and unscrewed the lid.

I saw that the porcelain box with oriole jade powder on the lid contained a little bit of powder that had just been placed under the mouth of the porcelain box. It was slightly different from the white color, and it was incredibly delicate.

This is the jade face powder they have been thinking about for several months!

The two girls look at me and look at you, smiling like flowers, and can't wait to go home to try these things.

A total of [-] boxes of jade powder of four different colors, [-] bottles of toilet water of three different grades, among which the high-end is the least, the middle-grade is the most, and the low-grade is in the middle, and six kinds of lipsticks of different colors. There are [-] color numbers, a total of [-] pieces.

Lin Zhen expected to sell out in the afternoon of the next day, but he didn't expect that it would be sold out before the curfew that night. Many girls who had just received the news came running out of breath and asked if there was any jade powder, Lin Zhen could only Ask people to answer that there is no more, let them wait for the next batch of goods.

The box originally used to hold Yurong toilet water lipstick was filled with silver, and the white silver under the torch stirred people's nerves.

Lin Zhen glanced at the faces of the people on board, and asked Zhou Zhengchu, Shaoying and Geyang, who had worked in the army and became slaves for some reason, and said, "Carry the silver into the cabin and let someone guard it." .”

Yan Canghai, who witnessed how he earned the money, shook his head sighingly, "Boss Lin really has a big heart. With so much money in front of my eyes, isn't it afraid that I will become malicious?"

Lin Zhendao: "Because I feel that compared with those money, I can bring greater benefits to Brother Yan."

"Brother Yan, do you want to do this business? Buy goods from me, and take them on your ship to sell to other places in Dayu."

"And let's not hide it from Brother Yan, these few items are just some of the goods in my workshop, and there will be others soon, and Brother Yan is interested in keeping them."

How could Yan Canghai not be interested? Why did he go out to run a business, not just to earn money, but the goods that are in short supply are all based on laws and regulations, and he would be worried if he ran ten times. , people also have accidents.

That's why he came to Lizhou Zhizhou and proposed to raise grain seeds with Lizhou bonds. After thinking about it all night, he agreed. Although he couldn't make much money, it was an official business after all, and there was no risk.

Just when Yan Canghai was about to speak, seven or eight men with different accents stepped onto Yan's merchant ship on wooden boards, and as soon as they arrived, they bowed their hands to Yan Canghai: "Where did Brother Yan find a way to get rich? Brother, it's not kind."

This is the acquaintance with Yan Canghai.

Yan Canghai said: "Brother, you really think highly of your old brother Yan this time. The boss next to me is doing this business." Because Lin Zhen's subordinates have already heard that he changed his name to Boss Yu, so Yan Canghai also changed his name to "Boss Yu." He sighed and said, "I still want to share a share with Boss Yu."

The bosses of seven or eight other merchant ships looked at Lin Zhen, saw that he was wearing an age, and looked mysterious, and said, "This is Boss Yu. It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know the mask on this face..."

Lin Zhen said: "The weather is too hot, and I have grown some uncomfortable things to look at. It's better to use a mask to block it."

"Oh, so that's the reason. The weather in Kyoto is really hot. We merchants are basically from the south, and most of us can't bear it."

"There's some ice on my boat, why don't you bring it to Boss Yu to cool off the heat." As he said this, the man directly ordered the people following him to go to the boat to bring a piece of ice.

Lin Zhen, whose inner clothes were soaked in sweat, accepted his kindness, and said without hesitation: "I understand what you guys mean by coming here, but I actually got such a batch of goods by accident. earned this money."

"Boss Yu, tell us quickly, how did you hit it by mistake, let us hit it by mistake."

One of the purposes of Lin Zhen's coming here is to attract these merchants to the state capital. These people don't say anything else when they go there.

The river mouth in Dongyang County can also be more lively.

So Lin Zhen turned into a big fool, saying that he originally went to Lizhou to collect furs, but he didn't expect that the furs didn't receive a few dollars. Instead, he met Lin Zhen, the owner of Lin's gouache workshop, in the state capital of Lizhou. There are too many things to do, and I can't come to the capital in person, so I sold the spot goods in his hand and hired Yan Canghai's boat to go to the capital.

Lin Zhen said it clearly: "To tell you the truth, although Boss Lin gave me the roster of those high-ranking and dignified female relatives in Kyoto, I was still beating drums in my heart. I was afraid that so many things would fall into my hands, how could I think——"

"I didn't expect it to be so hot, and the whole shipment is sold out now," said the merchant who ordered someone to deliver ice to Lin Zhen, rubbing his hands and asking Lin Zhen, "Boss Yu, let me know, this business is profitable... ..." He motioned for Lin Zhen to count.

Lin Zhen leaned slowly on the railing, "For goods worth two taels of silver, you can make a net profit of eight renminbi when transported to the capital, which is quite a lot."

The person staring at him shook his head: "A lot!"

It sounds like you only earn eight renminbi, but that's pure profit, and how much space is occupied by rouge and gouache, can a boatload of goods earn less.

Seeing the intense interest in their eyes, Lin Zhen curled up the corners of his lips behind the mask.
