Mrs. Qu was stunned when she looked at the two coins. Zheng Yuan said before that she helped her nephew Li Zhi take care of three meals a day. Mrs. Qu thought that the poor Li Zhi didn't even pay monthly money! He took care of three meals a day.
A lot of money, Mr. Qu only said that Zheng Yuan and Li Zhi were crazy together, and they also managed to make ends meet. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi actually paid two thousand dollars of monthly salary in addition to taking care of the food!
Two copper coins are enough for three people to live on! Plus Zheng Yuan doesn't spend money on food when he's not at home, plus the money he earns from spinning, his money suddenly becomes rich! Is the good life of my family really coming?
Taking the copper coins from Zheng Yuan's hand, Qu bit her lip and weighed the coins in her hands, listening to the sweet sound of the coins colliding.
"It's really copper coins!"
"Is our family going to live a good life?"
Tears flowed down again unsatisfactorily. Qu grabbed the copper coins, hugged Zheng Yuan tightly, buried her head behind Zheng Yuan's shoulder and cried.
Zheng Yuan patted Mr. Qu's back gently and coaxed slowly: "If my wife doesn't cry, if my wife doesn't cry, she will never have a hard life in the future!"
After thinking about it, Zheng Yuan said proudly: "Not only are we no longer living a hard life, we can also have children!"
Hearing this, Qu's face turned red and she struggled out of Zheng Yuan's arms.
The family was poor, and the two of them had no plans to have children. Mrs. Qu rarely shared a room with Zheng Yuan. She had rarely experienced sexual intercourse, and Mrs. Qu was still a little shy about it. At this time, when Zheng Yuan mentioned having children, Mrs. Qu's face turned red like a
Big Apple.
Seeing his wife's blushing face under the light of the stove fire, Zheng Yuan laughed.
After eating meat for a month and doing light physical work every day, Zheng Yuan is now very healthy. With strong hands, Zheng Yuan picked up the shy Qu by the waist and strode towards the house.
The functions of soap are excellent, and the demand for soap is still growing.
On this day, Li Zhi was coming back from the textile market, thinking about developing textile machinery, when he saw Cui Wending sitting in the hall of his home with a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian scarf, accompanied by his younger brother Li Xing. Cui Wending saw Li Zhi
He came back, stood up from his chair and came over to greet him.
"Li Zhi, you are back. I have been waiting for you for half an hour!"
Li Zhi glanced at Cui Wending and secretly thought that this business gentry had no profit and couldn't get up early. He must have come to him to buy more soap, so he laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Mr. Cui was coming. Mr. Cui
The goods are sold out?”
Cui Wending glanced at Li Zhi and said seriously: "I'm not here to ask for goods from you, I'm here to introduce you to a friend!" After saying this, Cui Wending pulled Li Zhi into the hall and pointed at the man wearing the Confucianism.
The middle-aged man wearing a turban said: "This is Mr. Xu, the owner of Taichang Hang, one of the eight major business houses in Tianjin. I'm here specifically to see you today!"
When the middle-aged man saw Li Zhi coming, he looked Li Zhi up and down, then stood up and said: "Xu Mince, I am the boss of Taichang Hang. Mr. Li's soap shop has already been famous for a long time, and I am meeting you today."
It’s so late!”
In his speech, the Juren Master respected Li Zhi very much and respectfully called him Young Master. A month ago, others had called Li Zhi a fool. The contrast was really big. It was all thanks to the booming soap business that Li Zhi was in the Ming Dynasty.
Social status is very different.
After a pause, Xu Mince said again: "It's just a small gift, it's not respectful."
After saying this, Xu Mince handed over a gift list.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, you must prepare gifts when visiting a stranger's home. If the number of gifts is large and inconvenient to carry, you must prepare a gift list listing the gifts you want to give, and then send a servant at home to deliver the actual gifts.
.However, the items in this gift list are all from the upper class. How do ordinary families need this? The first time Li Zhi accepted a gift list from someone else, he was defeated. After receiving the gift list from Xu Mince, he didn’t know what to read.
Look, I should just put it aside.
In the end, Li Zhi took a look and saw that the gift list was full of valuables such as spices and silk. He was stunned and wondered what Mr. Xu had planned. Although the other party was a big businessman, his political status was that of a high official.
, which is a status that can directly be a candidate for an official position, and the status is aloof. Since the master is so polite, Li Zhi can only put on a smile and said: "Master Xu is really too polite. The younger generation is not well received, so why should I ask Xu?"
Master, I understand. Please sit down, Master! Please sit down!"
Xu Mince felt happy when he saw Li Zhi being polite, so he sat down on the chair. He was not in a hurry to talk to Li Zhi, but started chatting all over the world. In fact, when it comes to knowledge, Li Zhi, who has been born in two generations, is naturally very knowledgeable.
Xu Master Cui Xianggong. But Li Zhi couldn't talk about future generations. Li Zhi didn't know as much as these intellectuals about the late Ming Dynasty. We chatted for a few words, but Xu Mince was the one who kept talking, and Li Zhi could only stay aside.
Echo and laugh.
After chatting for half an hour and changing tea several times, Xu Mince finally returned to the topic and said, "Master Li, is this soap business made by himself, or is it shipped from Jiangnan?"
Although Li Zhi has always claimed that soap is shipped from the south of the Yangtze River, the raw materials in large and small carts are transported to Li's yard every day. Many people suspect that Li Zhi's soap is self-produced.
Hearing Xu Mince's question, Li Zhi felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know what Xu Mince meant. It would be bad if someone found out that the soap was self-produced and people were concerned about the soap's formula. Thinking of this, Li Zhi said perfunctorily:
"The most critical part of production is completed in Jiangnan. After I transport the semi-finished products from Jiangnan, I process them a little at home, and finally make them into finished products for sale!"
Xu Mince asked casually: "Master Li, can you tell Xu the source of goods in Jiangnan?"
Li Zhi laughed and said: "Frankly speaking, this is my business channel and cannot be leaked!"
Xu Mince was not upset when he heard this, but said with a smile: "In this case, if Xu wants to buy soap, he can only buy it with Mr. Li!"
It turned out that I was here to buy soap.
Li Zhi didn't answer him and asked directly: "How much does Mr. Xu want to buy?"
Xu Mince looked at Cui Wending, turned around and said, "I want to buy 200,000 yuan every month and sell it to Jiangnan!"
Hearing Xu Mince's words, Li Zhi took a breath. Two hundred thousand yuan is not a small number. Now Li Zhi's total sales in Tianjin and Beijing are only 80,000 yuan a month. Xu Mince's two hundred thousand yuan,
That is to double or triple Li Zhi's business.
It seems that this soap workshop is going to expand again.
As for the unreasonableness of lying about buying semi-finished products from Jiangnan, and then selling the finished products to Xu Mince and selling them back to Jiangnan, Li Zhi didn't bother to explain. Who makes this soap business only for himself? You don't care where I get the goods, love
If you buy it, buy it, if you don’t buy it, you will lose it.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhi replied: "Two hundred thousand yuan is okay. I'll just contact the boss in Jiangnan and ask him to increase the supply."
