Farming with the get rich system

After the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Gu Shen's small workshop resumed work.

As soon as the workers arrived at the scene, they found that the door of the workshop, which had been locked securely the day before, was wide open.

The workshop was also turned upside down, and the raw metal used to make the lipstick casing was also missing.

Gu Shen checked around the scene with Fu Guier holding the system, and quietly asked in a low voice beside the system's ear: "Can you activate the scanning function, and help me find out who came here yesterday?"

"Sorry, dear host, due to your insufficient level, the monitoring function of on-site restoration is temporarily unavailable." The system's pitiful big eyes flashed an indicator light of insufficient level.

Gu Shen, who failed to inquire, had to walk around the scene again by himself.

After checking, in addition to the loss of raw material metal, two sets of molds for making lipsticks were also missing.

This is the rhythm of making up his mind not to let him continue to produce these lip balms?

Fortunately, the mold blueprint used by Gu Shen is still there, so he can find a carpenter's shop to re-carve it.

It's just that the metal pipes used to make the lipstick case need to be purchased as soon as possible, otherwise the construction period will be delayed, and the liquidated damages that he, Gu Shen, will have to pay will no longer be small.

Gu Shen briefly explained the workers' arrangements for today and tomorrow, and went alone to the blacksmith's shop where he usually buys scrap copper with Fu Guier under his arm.

Who knows-

"Master Gu, I'm sorry that our scrap copper has been collected these days, why don't you go to someone else's house and ask how about it?"

Gu Shen went to three or four houses one after another, all with the same excuse.

It was not until the fifth house that a quick-talking young man told Gu Shen the truth.

"Master Gu, you don't have to come here this year. For some reason, the shopkeeper Wu of the Chunfeng Rouge Shop spent ten times more than your price to buy all the waste from us. No matter how many days you wait, you won't be here." No."

On the way back, Gu Shen hugged the puppy Fuguier and couldn't help laughing out loud while thinking about what the little guy said.

Could it be that this is the first confrontation between the legendary protagonist who opened the golden finger and the villain whose intelligence was lowered?

Wu Liang failed to cooperate with him, so he sent someone to steal his scrap copper raw materials and molds, and spent a lot of money to buy these cheap scrap copper, just to prevent him from delivering the goods on schedule, so as to compensate Wanji for breach of contract.

Gu Shen really couldn't understand how Wu Liang came up with such an idea of ​​nine twists and eighteen bends, which harms others and does not benefit oneself.

I can't even understand how a person who can come up with such an idea can support such a large family business.

Although the monopoly of raw materials can be regarded as a sufficient way to attack competitors.

But the lipstick was originally a fast-moving consumer product that Gu Shen made at that time in order to quickly accumulate wealth and experience points.

The target audience was originally the wife of a wealthy family.

This kind of thing is making money, but the popularity of the people is not high.

Even if the raw materials are monopolized and the lipstick cannot be produced again, he can change to a fast-moving consumer product that is comparable to the lipstick category at any time, the price can be lower, and the distribution range can be wider.

He really couldn't understand why this shopkeeper Wu, who was named after him, made such a decision to hurt the enemy a thousand and hurt himself a thousand.

It was already evening when Gu Shen returned home with the puppy in his arms.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Su Yan was changing into a linen blouse, with his arms bare, and was sitting in the yard washing clothes.

There were two large basins in front of him, one dry and one wet. His hands were soaked in the water, his neck was lowered, and he concentrated on scrubbing a short coat that belonged to Gu Shen.

A lot of wet robes have been hung on the clothesline in the yard, and the water droplets falling from the robes have merged into a stream of water on the ground, flowing around the yard along the terrain.

This shows that Su Yan has washed at least one basin before Gu Shen came back.

Gu Shen carried two buckets of clean water into the well in the backyard with great insight, but he asked a naive and cute question: "Ayan, why are you washing so many clothes?"

Su Yan sighed, straightened up to loosen his stiff back, and raised his arms to wipe off the sweat from his forehead: "My little master, what else do you know besides earning money every day? It's summer now, clothes Change it frequently, put it there every day when you take it off, if you don't wash it today, the young master and I will go out naked tomorrow."

"Eh..." Gu Shen scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, his eyes drifted to the other side and turned around, and he said slowly, "How about I help you?"

"Master, when did you touch such a job?" Su Yan lowered his head, dipped his hands into the big wooden basin again, washed the clothes in his hands, and took a piece of surface from the wooden box beside him. The mottled balls rubbed on the neckline where the sweat stains accumulated, and when the hands were crossed and scrubbed, a fine layer of foam appeared on the neckline.

In Gu Shen's impression, all the washing products didn't look like this, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Eh? What is this? Why does it still have a greasy fragrance?"

"Master, you don't even know the incense sticks, so you still want to help me wash my clothes?" Su Yan shook the water droplets on his hands, and tapped a little on the tip of Gu Shen's nose: "It's getting dark, if the young master really wants to help, Just go to the house and light a lamp for me, I'll finish washing soon and cook for the young master."

Gu Shen frowned at the cold drops of water, got up and went to the house to light the oil lamp.

The bright flame of the oil lamp reflected Su Yan's side face with sweat and water stains.

Gu Shen squatted next to Su Yan, but his attention was completely focused on the fragrant soap in Su Yan's hand. When Su Yan was not using it, he held the small dumpling with a strange smell and smelled it carefully.After looking at it several times in a row, Gu Shen finally couldn't help asking: "Ayan, how much money does such a fragrant pancake cost?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, it's weighed by weight." Su Yan wrung out the last piece of clothing, stood up and shook it off: "One penny can only weigh a piece the size of a pigeon egg, and the young master holds it in his hand." I spent three coins for this one, why is the young master so interested in this fragrant soap today?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious. Where did Ayan buy this piece?"

"It's the Chunfeng rouge store in the city. The powder and pancreas sold by his store are the best in Shuiyuan City. It smells like roses and sweet-scented osmanthus, and the color of the clothes after washing is also transparent. So the price is higher. There are too many people."

Spring Breeze Rouge?This is really a narrow road for enemies.Originally, Gu Shen didn't intend to grab the business from the shopkeeper Wu.

Looking at it now, it doesn't work if you don't grab it.

He was still hesitating about what kind of product he would make if he stopped producing lipstick.

It happened that the fragrant pancreas in Su Yan's hand gave him a flash of inspiration.

Unexpectedly, it got him, an enemy, by accident.

***

It was late at night, and Su Yan had already fallen asleep.

Gu Shen was leaning on the bedside, waving a cattail fan, and browsing through the rich system about the production method of ancient fragrant pancreas.

The production method of fragrant pancreas is not complicated, just grind the pig pancreas mixed with saponin, add some grass ash and spices, etc., and form a dumpling into the fragrant pancreas held in Su Yan's hand.

What Gu Shen wants to do is not scented pancreas, but soap that has never appeared in this era.

The making method of scented soap is roughly the same as that of scented pancreas.

The only difference is the substrate used by the two.

The base used for fragrant pancreas is saponin and porcine pancreas. When mixing the two, the ratio and the raw materials require manual intervention, and the finished product is rough and not durable.

The soap base used in soap is a pre-adjusted chemical product, which is smooth and oily in texture, and can be colored, scented, and shaped, and its cleaning power is much better than that of the ancient soap.

The soap base sold in the mall in the rich system is extremely cheap, and 500 experience points can be exchanged for a hundred catties of soap base.

One hundred catties of soap base, the size of the soap base that Su Yan took today can cost at least 500 yuan.

Even if the cost of spices, flowers, molds, and workers are added, the cost of a piece of soap will not exceed [-] yuan, but the price can be set at around [-] yuan.

With such a price difference of nearly ten times, and the extremely simple production process, it is more popular than the previous lipsticks.

***

The most important aspect of a bar of soap's success is its eye-catching appearance.

An eye-catching shape requires an exquisite mold, and if you want to make an exquisite mold, you need a superb painter.

As a man of science and engineering who graduated from the finance department, Gu Shen can follow the prompts of the rich system to draw the design drawings of the plow and lipstick, and draw the decoration drawings of the courtyard, but these drawings have certain rules. If he is really required to draw a fine brush Danqing, it's really hard for him.

Therefore, this burden naturally fell on Su Yan's shoulders.

Su Yan's painting skills are very good, and the slender brush pen outlines carefully, and the lifelike patterns appear vividly on the paper.

Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, the fragrance of daylilies, birds and cranes, and a few naive civet cats and puppies.

Looking at each painting, Gu Shen could imagine how these patterns would look like when made into soap.

After drawing those ordinary patterns, Su Yan drew another picture of Bing Dilian and another picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

"Ayan, why did you remember to draw this?"

"It's nothing, I just think that since the young master wants to make fragrant pancreas for sale, then the newlyweds will naturally want to buy it. Isn't it good to draw such a festive pattern, come in pairs, and leave in pairs? "Su Yan put away the pen, and handed the newly completed painting to Gu Shen.

"Sure, Ayan, I never thought you would understand marketing strategies." Gu Shen looked at the pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water in his hands, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"I don't understand what marketing the young master is talking about. I only know that all the embroidery and clothes with such patterns on the market sell better than ordinary ones."

"Bingdi hibiscus is easy to sell, flying together with wings is easy to sell, and mandarin ducks playing in the water are easy to sell, so why doesn't Ayan draw a picture of mandarin mandarin and mandarin amphibious?" Gu Shen said a new word in a mysterious way.

"What kind of pattern is it like to live together? I've never heard of it."

"One male and one female play in the water for mandarin ducks. If there are two male birds, they will naturally use mandarin ducks to live together. Since my dynasty allows men to marry, then naturally there will be mandarin ducks."

Gu Shen spoke in high spirits, causing Su Yan to blush after a long absence: "Master, if you do this again, I won't help you draw. The sages say that you should not say anything indecent. You are not a gentleman if you do this!"

"Ayan, why did I ever say that I am a gentleman?" Gu Shen propped his chin and put his elbows on the table, turned his face to look at Su Yan with a half-smile: "I am a dandy, I have been a dandy since I was a child."
