182. Department store
After the matter of planting red peppers was settled, Lin Xi felt much more relaxed.
She made an agreement with Yan Zhong and others that she would go to the mountain to visit once every half month, and the rest of the time, Shen Chen would go when he had time.
Then Lin Xi officially started to work on the rouge. She brought all the materials for making rouge to the county shop, and called the Xu Wu brothers to teach them how to make rouge.
Xu Wu was puzzled: "Master, why don't you just find someone to do it? There are experts who specialize in rouge, can we do it?"
Xu Qi nodded in agreement.
Lin Xi only said that their rouge was different, briefly taught them the previous steps, and let the brothers start in the backyard.
She arranged for the brothers to work from morning to around three in the afternoon every day, then they could go back, and she would do the rest of the final steps herself, which would be faster.
Of course, while the brothers were doing it, Lin Xi was not idle either.
Lin Xi's customized display cabinet was delivered some time ago. She needs to decorate the lobby and organize all the goods she bought from Zhuo Minghe.
Hers is very simple, put the rouge on one side, the hot pot ingredients and chili on one side, and the other items on the other side. How to arrange and match them is another science.
Because she was very busy, Lin Xi often went back late and rushed back to the county the next day, very tired from running around. She could hold on for a day or two, but not after a long time.
In the end, after Lin Xi and Shen Chen discussed it, she simply stayed in the shop and only went back when Shen Chen needed acupuncture. If Zhao Dequan went to get hotpot ingredients from home, Shen Chen would give them to him.
Before you know it, it's the end of the month and the rouge is almost done and it's time to wrap up.
After considering the overall situation, Lin Xi decided to enter the publicity stage. As for the semi-finished dishes she wanted to make, she would put them later because she was too busy to take care of them now. Once she started cooking, she would need specific vendors. She I don’t have time to look for it right now.
Therefore, Lin Xi decided to open a store for business in a few days, and then decide whether to sell semi-finished vegetables depending on the situation.
Having made up his mind, Lin Xi stayed with Xu Wu brothers that day and told them some things.
After hearing this, Xu Wu was shocked and said: "My boss, is this possible...?"
Xu Qi also hesitated: "Isn't this... not very authentic?"
Lin Xi crossed his arms and looked at them, and said, "Do you have any more ways to let the people in the county know about our store in a short time? It's okay, just tell me. I'm not a boss who forbids you to talk."
In order to prepare for the opening of the store, Lin Xi had already named the store, Department Store.
Shen Chen even wrote an inscription for her and made a special plaque for her.
Shen Chen's handwriting is so beautiful. It would be a waste if people didn't know it quickly.
Xu Wu and Xu Qi shook their heads honestly.
"That's it." Lin Xi ordered calmly, "I'll give you two days to find someone to make preparations. During these two days, I will also have people help me spread the reputation of our department store. You will do it later. OK, let’s open immediately!”
Xu Wu and Xu Qi looked at each other and said yes without any confidence.
Lin Xi let them go after saying that, and then drove the carriage to Ke Yun Tower to find Zhao Dequan.
As soon as Zhao Dequan heard that she was coming, he came out to greet her personally, "Miss Lin, you haven't been here for a few days. Have you finished the work in the shop?"
He had been to Chenyang Village several times but never met Lin Xi. When he asked, he found out that Lin Xi had been busy working in the shop during this period and was almost unable to do anything else.
Lin Xi smiled politely and said: "I'm all busy now. I'll ask someone to do the math. The day after tomorrow will be auspicious, and I'm preparing to open the business the day after. If not, let me tell Manager Zhao first."
After saying that, she handed the gift she brought to Zhao Dequan.
"This is the new rouge in my shop. There is not much stock. Thinking of Zhao Dequan's help some time ago, I prepared a copy for you. Maybe your wife can use it. This rouge of mine is different from others. It has beauty properties.
The effect of nourishing the skin, Mr. Zhao, you know that I know medicine, and I will never lie to you."
Zhao Dequan smiled when he heard the words and took over and said: "I believe Miss Lin the most. Don't worry, you and I have the same interests. I will help Miss Lin spread the name of your shop in the past two days to ensure that everyone who comes to the restaurant to eat will know it."
"
Lin Xi was very satisfied with his approach and said: "I feel most at ease with Mr. Zhao's work. I want to learn more from you. By the way, there are some novel gadgets in my shop, Mr. Zhao."
Take it back and give it to your children to play with. I'm worried about my family, so I'm going back."
Zhao Dequan took it and said goodbye to Lin Xi.
At this time, the accountant came out, pointed at the clerk and took over what Zhao Dequan was carrying, looked at Lin Xi who was walking away, and said worriedly: "Boss, Miss Lin said that her shop is a department store and sells everything. If
What should I do if she...also sells hot pot ingredients?"
Zhao Dequan said without thinking: "No, Lin Xi said she sells some rare gadgets. Okay, please go down and let the guys help Duoduo pass on her department store."
He looked at the direction Lin Xi was leaving and said, "I want to see if this Miss Lin has the business talent when her time comes. If she does it in the long run, I, Ke Yunlou, will have more helpful helpers.
"
The cashier asked: "When Miss Lin opens her shop, will you go?"
Zhao Dequan said: "Of course I went. Her husband-in-law Shen Chen has always been on good terms with the county captain, and Shen Chen dotes on her so much. When her shop opens, the county committee will definitely come to support her. I can talk to the county captain when I go, and I can
Do your best, and there will be no harm in doing anything."
Zhao Dequan was a little sad.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the county lieutenant had tabooed dealing with businessmen after the incident involving Wang Yaozu, he might have already gotten in touch with the county lieutenant.
As long as he can obtain official documents, he can go further and wider.
…
On the other side, it was almost evening when Lin Xi returned to Chenyang Village.
The door of the house was open. Lin Xi got off the car and walked in quickly, "I'm back!"
There was only Erbao in the yard. When he heard the voice, he turned around suddenly, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he dropped the food for the chickens and ran over.
"Mom! You are finally back!"
The three and four treasures from the back room also ran out. It could be seen that they had just woken up and their hair was messy. But when they saw Lin Xi, they immediately became happy and ran out without wearing shoes to hug her.
Lin Xi quickly stopped them and carried them in to put on their shoes.
"It's still cold today. If you don't wear shoes and you're freezing, you'll get hot later! Don't you think it's uncomfortable?"
Although they had not seen each other for only a few days, Lin Xi felt that the children had grown a lot taller and had sunk a lot, and it was difficult for her to hold the two children.
The second treasure became much more stable. Seeing this, he took the fourth treasure and went into the house with her. He said, "Mom is right. If you run out without wearing shoes in the future, I will punish you."
