Farming with the get rich system

Twelve days after Su Yan went to the scholar's house to study, Gu Shen's first lipstick workshop officially opened.

The scale of the workshop is extremely small, with only six workers at full count.

These six people perform their own duties, from paste preparation, to metal smelting, to the final shell assembly, and can produce 150 lipsticks a day.

This amount, just two months during the slack season can supply enough for Wanji Rouge Shop for a year.

On a rainy day before the Dragon Boat Festival in May, two unexpected guests came to Gu Shen's workshop.

The two are one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.One is dressed in silk, and the other is made of coarse cloth.

You can tell at a glance that there is one master and one servant.

On rainy days like this, Gu Shen's small workshop does not start work.

When the two came, Gu Shen was sitting on the rocking chair in front of his small workshop, stroking Fu Gui'er's back hair, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

"Master Gu, be polite." The one in silk between the two bowed his chubby body, almost pressing his face to Gu Shen's.

Gu Shen opened his eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state, and was so frightened by the big face in front of him that he almost fell off the rocking chair, throwing the puppy in his arms out.

"Hey, who are you? What's your business here?" Gu Shen stood up from the rocking chair, and fell into a messy robe after a full sleep.

"Master Gu, the younger one is Wu Er, the steward of the shopkeeper Wu's family of Chunfeng Rouge. My shopkeeper can see that you are a talent, Master Gu, so I want to invite you over to talk about things." Wu Er rubbed his hands with a smile on his face. : "You see, when it is convenient for you, I and the boy will accompany you there."

"Oh? Talk about something? Talk about something?" Gu Shen lowered his eyes halfway, and secretly looked at Wu Er in front of him.

"It's not convenient for this villain to talk about it. Why don't you go and see for yourself, it's a good thing."

"I don't dare to go if I don't say anything clearly. What if they lie to me and prepare to sell me?"

"Hey, Young Master Gu, what are you talking about? It's broad daylight and bright, how can someone sell you!" Wu Er waved his hands again and again, hesitated for a moment and said: "Look, now the whole city All the girls are flocking to the rouge you make, even the official wives in Hangzhou use it. They are all in the powder business. Why do you have to guard the Wanjia household? Our Spring Breeze Rouge is based on this. The biggest one in Shuiyuan City, if you can give our Wu family this fat business, how much money will you get from this Wanji, and our Wu family will give you an extra [-]%! What do you think?"

"So, it's for this?" Gu Shen bent his fingers and held his chin and nodded in a serious manner. In fact, when Wu Er revealed his identity, Gu Shen guessed the purpose of the two people's visit. All eighty-nine are inseparable.

Ever since lipstick became popular in Water Source City, Gu Shen thought that there would definitely be today.

Although he divided the molds for making lipstick into several carpentry shops, Wan Kee's shopkeeper would not tell anyone about the origin of this lipstick.

But the lipstick business is getting bigger and bigger, so it is impossible that there will be no news of it.

The reason why these lipsticks have not yet been imitated by the bad street is that the toner and glycerin in the lipstick raw materials that Gu Shen made do not belong to this era, but he used the wealth experience points to exchange them in the shopping malls of the rich and powerful in the system. back.

It is precisely these two things that are the basis for the lipstick to be different from all the lipsticks currently on the market.

So this also gave Gu Shen the capital to sit and talk with these big businessmen at the conversation table.

After thinking deeply, Gu Shen was full of hesitation: "But I just signed a contract with shopkeeper Wan a few days ago, so I will meet with your shopkeeper today, isn't it good?"

"Master Gu, you and I are both business people. How can you not know that businessmen value profits? This businessman too? Naturally, whoever offers a high price will follow him. If you feel that the price of [-]% is not enough, you can follow us Just take a walk and talk to our shopkeeper in person." Seeing that Gu Shen seemed to be a little loose, Wu Er immediately tried to persuade him: "You and that Boss Wan don't really have any real friendship, do you?"

Gu Shen's eyes froze, and he turned to look at Wu Er's chubby face and said in a deep voice, "Butler Wu's words are off the mark. Although a businessman values ​​profits, he still has to keep his word. Your shopkeeper is so straightforward. I want to increase the price and ask me to break the contract, but have I ever thought that if I can break the contract with Shopkeeper Wan for money today, if someone raises the price and asks me to break the contract in the future, the contract document will become invalid Paper? So please go back and tell your shopkeeper Wu that I really have no real friendship with Boss Wan, but this contract is only signed for a one-year period. If your shopkeeper is still interested in negotiating business with Mr. Gu in the coming year, then Let’s talk about it then.”

There was no gap in what Gu Shen said, and Wu Er didn't know how to persuade him any more, so he could only tell his shopkeeper Wu Liang exactly what he had said.

As the name suggests, Wu Liangren has been in business for many years and has always been mercenary.

If you make less than one cent in daily life, you can't wait to dig three feet to find that penny.

Hearing Gu Shen's words today, I immediately fell back angrily: "This little bastard of the Gu family really doesn't know what's good or bad! Master, I gave him money with good intentions, but he dared to say such a thing to insult me. He really couldn't live a better life." I'm getting impatient!"

"Master, according to this old slave, what the young master of the Gu family said is not unreasonable. He can make a contract with the master today, and he can make a contract with others tomorrow. Besides, the incense powder and pancreas in our shop are still from this water source city, and even the whole world." It is the best-selling one in Suzhou and Hangzhou. He is just taking advantage of the market, so it’s not a big deal.” Wu Er, the housekeeper, hurriedly followed his master’s chest: “Master, don’t get mad because of him, you If you really want to sell that lip balm, you can talk to him after next year."

"You know what?!" Wu Liang shook off the hand of the old housekeeper, angrily said: "One year! One year, this thing has already been rotten on the street! By then, how much money will this thing be worth in your mind? Don’t you know? How dare you fight with me, this bratted prodigal son?! My lord, I must find a chance to kill this brat who doesn’t know what to do.”

"Master, right now this kid is holding a supply list signed with Wanji, and it's Wanji's business if he loses or makes money. We don't have any way to make this brat suffer?"

Hearing what Wu Er said, Wu Liang, who was still a little hysterical just now, slowly lowered his face, and a moment later a sinister smile appeared on Wu Liang's face: "Wu Er, you just said that the brat signed with Wan Ji What is the supply list?"

"This, the old slave is not very clear. It seems that Wanji paid the little thing 1000 taels of silver at a time, and then he supplied Wanji with [-] taels of silver every month. The little thing also opened a workshop in his village and raised Five or six workers, I don’t know about the others.”

"So that's how it is." Wu Liang nodded thoughtfully, "Go to the cashier and pay 2000 taels of silver to collect all the discarded brass from all the blacksmith shops in Shuiyuan City, and then tell them to pay them back in a year. In fact, all the scrap copper from them will be sent to me, and I am willing to buy it at a price ten times higher than that of Young Master Gu."

***

On the day of Duanyang in May.

Gu Shen's small workshop is closed for one day, and Su Yan's class is also closed for one day.

However, Su Yan has never had the habit of sleeping late, so he dug Gu Shen out of the bed early in the morning, hung a five-poison sachet, tied a colorful silk thread, and even dipped a calamus pole with realgar wine on his face .

Gu Shen sat lazily on the bed and let Su Yan play with it, complaining duplicity: "I'm not a child anymore, do you need to make so many things?"

"The young master is not yet a weak crown, why is he not a child?" Su Yan held a small plate of realgar wine, and brushed the liquid on the tip of Gu Shen's nose: "I also boiled a pot of wormwood water, young master, go soak it later Right. After soaking in the wormwood water, the young master won't feel itchy all day long on his back."

"Okay, yes, yes. My father married my mother at my age, but I still need to rub realgar and tie five-color thread here." Su Yan leaned forward violently, and in Su Yan He kissed the side of his face, so startled that even the small plate in his hand almost spilled out.

"Young master, why are you being naughty again!" Su Yan raised his hand to wipe the rice wine that Gu Shen rubbed on the side of his face, frowned and said angrily, "Go take a bath, or the water will be cold."

Gu Shen, who succeeded in playing tricks, walked to the small kitchen at home contentedly.There is a huge boxwood barrel on the other side of the stove. The barrel exudes dense heat, and the unique aroma of wormwood is particularly refreshing in midsummer.

Gu Shen untied his belt, took off his clothes, and soaked in comfortably.

In the warm bath, I watched Su Yan rush in and out of the fire and steam the rice dumplings.

These rice dumplings were also made by Su Yan after he left school on the days before the holiday with his neighbor's aunt.

All of them are full of fillings and heavy in the hand.

Gu Shen saw it last night, and just picked up one to look at it, but was stopped by Su Yan.

Not long after, in the small kitchen, apart from the grassy aroma of mugwort leaves, there was also a steaming aroma of rice.

Su Yan concentrated on pulling the bellows of the fire, and suddenly felt water droplets dripping on his cheeks, turned around, and saw Gu Shen who was lying on the edge of the tub and staring at him.

"Young master, stop making trouble." Su Yan wiped the water from the side of his face: "We can eat zongzi later."

"Ayan, the sage book says that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. After you read the sage book, I will do all the cooking from now on." Gu Shen lay on the side of the barrel, stared at Su Yan's eyebrows and smiled. .

"The young master said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so does the young master know the meaning of this sentence?" Su Yan got up from before the fire, patted his elegant plain robe and walked in front of Gu Shen.

"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Doesn't that mean that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen? What's the meaning of this?" No matter in his past or present life, Gu Shen is almost completely ignorant of these sage books.

"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, which means that a gentleman is kind and cannot bear to see killing, so a gentleman always stays away from the kitchen." Su Yan rolled up his sleeves and rubbed Gu Shen's back: "Also, if the young master really doesn't want me to go down It’s not easy to build this kitchen, I’m worried that if the young master can’t cook a few meals, this kitchen will disappear.”
