husband in another world

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zhou Jing moved back to the town, and the Han's troupe officially began to perform in the town. Zhou Jing and Shen Mo were almost too busy to touch the ground.Shen Mo first went to the silver building to make a half sterling silver mask for Wei Yuanshan, agreed on a delivery date and handed over the fixed silver, and hurried back to the shop to clean it and open the door for business.

During this period, Wei Yuanshan couldn't do anything to help, because the tattoo on his face was evidence of a crime, so he could only hide in the Zhou Mansion until the mask came back.

Zhou Jing not only had to buy a shop but also choose a site to build a workshop.The site of the workshop this time cannot be chosen casually, it must be chosen in a well-ventilated and well-defended place.Soap is the only business here, once it is launched, it will definitely sell well, and then the jealousy will be hard to guard against, and the tricks such as cheating, framing, and stealing secret recipes may make a "court" drama.And he doesn't plan to build the workshop in the village this time, it's not that he doesn't want to drive the villagers.But beware!

These two workshops have become more and more disadvantageous. They are dangling under the noses of the villagers every day, and a lot of money flows in. Those who don't get it are very jealous.

Zhou Jing wandered around the town for seven days, and finally found a vacant lot in a suburb twenty miles away from the town.There are no people on the left and right sides of the construction site here, and it is far away from the village. Once someone is sneaking outside, it is easy to find.

Building a factory is for commercial use, and it is more expensive than homestead and farming. A total of 160 three square feet of open land cost 300 taels of silver.When I went to the yamen to go through the formalities, I visited the magistrate casually, and gave me a pair of ginseng, eight taels of deer antler, and two bolts of silk from the cloth shop, and another 500 taels of silver.

Seeing these things, the county magistrate smiled and said to Zhou Jing with a friendly face: "Work hard, there will be a lot to do in the future."

Zhou Jing flattered a few words and then came out.At this time, Wei Yuanshan's mask was also finished, and he went out to work with Zhou Jing wearing the mask. When someone asked him, he said that his face was scalded by boiling water when he was a child, and his appearance was ruined for fear of scaring others, so he wore a mask.Seeing that the mask on his face was made of silver, others would not dare to embarrass him wherever he went, thinking that he was a noble master.

The two selected seven or eight servants in the tooth shop, and found twenty good ones in the town and village.Three of He Xi's brothers were recruited.The population of the family increased sharply, and two wives were not enough, so I bought two more maids and a pair of children to serve them.

In the end, the store was set up on Huichun Street, which was the busiest commercial street in Liu Town, with a wide variety of goods and everything that one could expect, and a large number of customers.It's just that a shop costs nearly 1000 taels of silver, with only two floors, a total of about 27 square feet.The name is also simply called Zhouji Rouge Gouache Shop.

Due to the sale of Chidori Yuyi's silver and part of his deposits, the Zhou family did not appear to be in dire straits, and even generally speaking, they were still very rich.

Soon, Wei Yuanshan began the rigorous training. He is really good at training men, with strict discipline and clear rewards.Twenty men were training in the courtyard of Zhou's family with a "hey hey hey". They were sweating profusely in this cold weather. If it weren't for the mother-in-law and husband in the backyard, they would probably be able to take off their shirts.Each of them holds a solid wooden stick in their hands. One end of the stick is sharpened, and it can poke a bloody hole in a person's body.But it was not enough, Zhou Jing hooked up with Butcher Wu and the owner of the iron shop to collude, and privately equipped each man with a machete specially designed for butchers to kill pigs. The treasures were hidden tightly, and Zhou Jing would not take them out unless it was absolutely necessary.

"What are you looking at, so excited?" Zhou Jing moved closer to Shen Mo's side, squeezing his head against his.Through the hole Shen Mo poked in the window, one can easily see every move of the men in the yard.

"It looks good?" Zhou Jing asked.

The tone was obviously ordinary, but Shen Mo inexplicably heard the sound of teeth grinding, and his body almost instinctively shook his head and said: "It's not good-looking."

Zhou Jing raised one eyebrow and smiled charmingly, "If you like it, I can teach you!"

Shen Mo always felt that this was a trap, but he quickly said with joy, "Okay." After speaking, he quickly covered his mouth and it was too late, Zhou Jing pulled him up.

Zhou Jing smiled evilly and said: "Fu Lang, I will teach you the thirteen styles of wolf defense today, you must learn them well."

After Zhou Jing finished speaking, he pulled Shen Mo into the bad room with a single force.

"The first form of anti-wolf, if someone pulls you into your arms like me, you can't beat him in strength, you can give him a monkey to steal a peach."

When Shen Mo was still thinking about what it meant for a monkey to steal a peach, somewhere he felt it first, his face darkened suddenly, and he said this person, this person can't pretend to be anything else in his mind except this thing.

Zhou Jing was still smiling ambiguously, "Of course this can also be called 'cutting off sons and grandsons'."

Shen Mo was so angry that he didn't have the heart to listen, so he pulled Zhou Jing's unruly claws.

"Look, if you succeed, the villain will react like you do now, with both hands hurting to cover the bottom, and at this moment, you only need to stretch out two fingers to poke his eyes, and he will not be able to care about it." Come on, and you can slip away."

Before he knew it, Shen Mo didn't break free from Zhou Jing, but was pressed into the chair at some point, trapped in his arms and motionless.

Zhou Jing breathed heavily and said, "Have you learned it yet?"

Zhou Jing's two arms restrained him like iron rods, Shen Mo couldn't break free at all, he could only think of other ways to save himself.

"Didn't you say the thirteen styles of anti-wolf, there are only two styles, you are lying!"

"Don't worry, I'll teach you the eleven moves right now."

Shen Mo didn't want to learn at all during the eleventh test, because it wasn't about guarding against wolves at all, but "cooperating with wolves". Shen Mo didn't want to recall the specific process.

After that, Zhou Jing would definitely be seen in daily training, and every time Shen Mo looked out from the small hole in the window paper, he could meet Zhou Jingxie's smiling gaze.Zhou Jing's teaching is still going on, but fortunately, he doesn't "go off topic" every day.

In a blink of an eye, I saw that the cloth shop had changed new styles for two seasons, and the weather was gradually warming up. The willow trees on both sides sprouted buds. The milling shop started construction after the weather warmed up. At this time, it was finally completed and began to recruit workers one after another.The workers I am looking for this time mainly have milling experience, no matter how much experience they have, as long as they have done it.In addition, four master craftsmen in milling were recruited. These are all ancestral crafts, so each master brought two to three assistants who are both sons and apprentices.The master chef Zhou Jingyue gave three or two, and there was also a reward. He made 100 yuan of soap every month, and gave each master a reward of [-] yuan, and so on. The more you do, the more you will be rewarded.But the apprentices they brought did not have this kind of discount, they only gave one tael of silver per month, which was higher than the workers in the milling workshop.

Zhou Jing didn't know how to make hand fat, etc., but he knew in later generations that the hand fat cream made from snake oil not only whitens and moisturizes, but also reduces inflammation and acne, and can also lighten acne marks.As soon as this idea was brought up, several masters got together to study it. Zhou Jing promised that as long as they made it, they would each be rewarded with five taels of silver, and also a reward of [-] taels of silver for every [-] copies made. .As a result, several master craftsmen lived in the workshop and studied day and night.

At this time, Fan Xin led the team and led the two brothers of the He family that Zhou Jing had arranged into the team, and a dozen of his own men hired a team of bodyguards to go to the south to buy goods.

With the help of his son, Father He no longer makes a living from hunting, but lives in the cloth dyeing workshop with his wife for night shifts. They live and eat in the workshop, and of course there are his hunting dogs.Another son of his lived in the sausage shop with another hound, where he kept watch.

The men trained by the Zhou family were divided into five teams with Wei Yuanshan as the captain, each team had five people, and they were stationed in the sausage workshop, cloth dyeing workshop, pancreas workshop and Zhou mansion to patrol.The remaining group was used as a replacement, and that group of Huo Mu replaced that group on patrol.

The five men in each team were divided into black and white groups, each with a team leader.The white group patrols during the day and rests at night, and the night group patrols at night and rests during the day.

Since the five people in each team were divided into two groups, there were too few people, so Zhou Jing found temporary guards in the workshop who were similar to the role of security guards in later generations. This kind of guards required a strong body, strong martial arts, and it was better to have some fists and kicks. You don't need to do any work, just patrol the Zhou family nursing home, but you need to practice every day.But the salary is only the same as that of the workers who work in the workshop, and it is twice as low as the nursing home sold in the Zhou Mansion.

At the end of May, when the spring blossoms, Fan Xin brought the caravan back, and the Zhou family's rouge and gouache shop officially opened.There is the propaganda role of the theater troupe, as well as Fan Xin's publicity along the way. In short, the shop is overcrowded on the opening day.

The two women originally employed in the milling shop were simply not enough, so Shen Mo and Shen Lin had to be transferred urgently.At this time, Shen Lin not only finished giving birth, but also had confinement.He gave birth to a child, which was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Wang family. Hao Yulan fainted on the spot from joy, and Wang Ren and Wang Fulu didn't close their mouths for a month.

"Madam, please come inside." Zhou Ji's rouge and gouache shop seemed to be free of money, and it felt like a crowded bus during the rush hour of later generations.Shen Mo finally introduced a woman with rich clothes, elegant manners and good temperament into the shop. He wanted her to take a seat, but found that it would be nice to have a place to stay.

The woman was protected by several servant girls in the middle to prevent being squeezed by others.She was sweating, took out her handkerchief and wiped it off.

"Your business is not doing well."

Shen Mo said with a smile: "It's because the things in our house are good that nobles are willing to buy them."

The woman smiled instead, "I don't care if the things are good or not, but your family's way of doing business is good. The shop didn't open, but the name got out first. I just listened to the show, and I knew Liu Zhen in a blink of an eye. There is an amazing rouge powder shop called Zhou Ji, which sells a kind of soap that I have never heard of before, and it is said that it was given by a fairy."

This is Zhou Jing's method, and it works very well. Most people in this shop know about it through opera.Ever since Han's troupe sang the song popular, major theaters all over the country have sung along with it.

Shen Mo smiled at this and said nothing.

The woman said: "I've always wanted to ask, is this soap really given by a fairy?"

"Is it the big sister bestowed by the fairy, you will know if you try it." Today, Zhou Yu was brought in to gain insight during a rest in the school.In terms of business, Zhou Jing has never followed the saying that scholars stay away from copper smells. Can one afford to read without copper smells?So as long as Zhou Yuxiumu will follow Zhou Jing to run the store.

The woman looked down, and saw a boy with red lips and white teeth, about eight or nine years old, but very handsome, obviously just a child with a child's voice, but when he opened his mouth, he sounded like an adult, making the woman extremely rare, He stretched out his hand to pinch Zhou Yu's face.

Zhou Yu has practiced boxing and kicking with Wei Yuanshan for several months, and his reaction is very quick, so he dodges easily.

He said solemnly: "The master said that men and women are different, and there are different seats at the age of seven, so Xiaosheng can't pinch the face of the lady."

These words made the woman laugh so hard that she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she was so cute.

"Hey, this kid is very serious when he speaks." The woman teased, "Then, young master, I want to buy some soap from your place. Can you introduce it to me?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes, big sister, wait for me to fetch it for you."

Seeing that the woman ignored him at all, Shen Mo also knew that Zhou Yu could entertain him well, so he hurriedly greeted other women who were calling for jobs.

Don't look at Zhou Yu's childhood, Zhou Jing should teach him a lot, he knows what kind of things people of any status recommend to him at such a young age.He turned around and took a luxurious suit off the shelf.

This is a limited edition, only ten boxes are released every month, each box has four items, one piece of pancreas, one box of snake oil and hand cream, one box of ginseng facial balm, and one box of rose-colored lip balm brought back from the south.

"Big sister, I think this one is suitable for you."

The woman looked intently and saw that Zhou Yu was holding a red sandalwood box with a pink gemstone inlaid on the cover.The inside of the box was covered with a layer of silk, and what was wrapped under the silk made four depressions that fit the pancreas and rouge box.

In the first depression is a piece of peacock-shaped soap. The lines on the soap have carved a lifelike peacock, and there are several blooming irises at the peacock's tail.

Just looking at it made people like it so much, the woman couldn't help but stretched out her hand and held it under her nose and sniffed it. The aroma of irises came to her nostrils, rich but not choking, smelling like irises blooming at the end of her nose.In this fragrant floral fragrance, the woman seemed to smell the faint sweetness and milky smell of honey again.

Zhou Yu introduced at the right time: "This pancreas is a beauty pancreas made by Zhou Ji. Not only flower petals but also honey and milk are added in it. I don't think I need to tell my big sister that long-term use of honey and milk can make the skin smooth and tender. "

The woman is very satisfied with this soap, not to mention the exquisite shape, but the addition of honey and milk shows its intentions, usually these two things are also used by women to apply to the face.

The woman likes soap, and also likes Zhou Yu, so she smiled and said, "Would it be as good as your skin after using it?"

Unexpectedly, although Zhou Yu speaks in a serious manner, he has imitated Zhou Jing's indecency ten to ten times under this seriousness, but he usually hides his words in a quiet and deep way.

At this time, he frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be a bad use?"

At first the woman didn't realize it, but then she realized that Zhou Yu was boasting that her skin was better than his.This is much more useful than the usual compliments from people in the Li family.It is said that children can't tell lies, the most childish words are without restraint.

The woman couldn't help touching her face. Is her skin really that good?But she is the mother of four children.Nevertheless, the woman's heart was full of joy.

"I'm not a big sister anymore. You should call me aunt according to your age."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said stubbornly, "It's the big sister."

The woman was so coaxed by him that her heart was more blooming than this flower, she said with a smile: "Then what is this?"

It was a porcelain box, only the size of a baby's palm, with colorful paintings on it. It was a woman's slender hand, crystal clear, slender and soft.There is also red cardamom on the fingertips.

"This one is for fingers, but it is different from the fish oil hand grease in other shops. This is a snake oil. It can be used not only to wipe your hands but also your face, and it can remove acne marks. Next to it is a face cream, this one The balm contains ginseng ingredients, which are the most nourishing for the skin, and after a long time of use, it will definitely be as white as an egg that has been peeled off its shell."

"Ginseng?" The woman was surprised. She was not surprised by Zhou Ji's generosity, but was surprised that ginseng is not a medicinal material, and how can it be used as a facial ointment.

"It's ginseng. Ginseng is very good for skin care. Look at the sister next to her. She was the first batch of people to use our ginseng facial cream. Our products are only released after they have been used on people and are sure they are really good. "

The woman saw that the girl was wearing a skirt printed with Zhou Ji's rouge and gouache shop, and her hair was simply combed in a bun. She didn't even have a wooden hairpin, and only tied her head with a piece of silk silk.It looked like she had no spare money to take care of her skin, but the skin on her face was as white as a peeled egg, as the little boy said.

The woman's eyes flickered, the last one didn't need Zhou Yu's introduction, the woman knew it, it was a famous lipstick in the south, the most popular color this year.

"Okay, I bought it for the sake of your hard work, and give me five boxes."

But Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Big sister, our family sells sales. This kind of box is only released ten boxes a month, and each person can only buy one box. If there are too many boxes, they will not be sold. But big sister can buy something else, too. Not bad."

The woman felt it was a pity when she heard this, but she didn't make it difficult for Zhou Yu, and chose several others.

"A total of 550 taels."

"What? 550 taels? Did you calculate correctly?" The maid who followed the woman exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Yu said: "No. A small box of snake oil hand fat is 20 taels of silver, beauty pancreas is five taels of silver a piece, household soap is 20 taels of silver, and mouth fat is 550 taels a box. Big sister asked for hand fat and mouth fat Three boxes each, five pieces of beauty pancreas, ten pieces of household pancreas, plus the set box, a total of [-] taels. The price is on the set box, and the items in the set box are all limited editions. It costs a hundred taels, and now it’s being processed into face cream, so it’s naturally expensive.”

The woman glanced at her lightly, and Yulan shut her mouth immediately in fright.

"Don't be so surprised. This box is made of red sandalwood, and there is a gemstone on it. The facial ointment inside is made of ginseng, the hand cream contains honey milk, and the soap is the only one. It's worth the price. Check it out."

"Yes, ma'am."

When the woman left, she was still reluctant to part with Zhou Yu, she was probably coaxed too much, and she said: "You child is kind from the first time I saw it, and I like it very much, it is probably because the two of us are destined, in the future If you come to the imperial capital, come to Feng's mansion to see me, maybe I can help you with anything."

At this time Zhou Yu just agreed with his lips, but didn't take it to heart, but he didn't know that the Feng Mansion in the imperial capital had another name, but everyone wanted to climb it but couldn't.

"Son, you like that woman's style. It has a charm and a good temperament, but it's old." Zhou Jing didn't know when he came over, and he was able to say such old and indecent words to his son.

Zhou Yu immediately returned to his previous expressionless face, he is only nine years old, okay?Although he is very mature in his heart, it is impossible to like a woman who is older than his aunt! Although I don't know why there is a feeling in that woman that he can't help but want to get close to.

Zhou Yu looked up at his father, moved his eyes to signal behind him, and at some point Shen Mo came over.

Shen Mo's face was flushed with anger, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Brother Jing, what nonsense are you talking to your son, who is only nine years old!"

Zhou Jing said aggrievedly: "You see, he usually puts on a cold face to both of us, he doesn't even smile, and he speaks word by word, but what the woman said just now Many……"

"you……"

"Shopkeeper, pay the bill!" Fortunately, at this time, a customer wanted to pay the bill and rescued Zhou Jing, Shen Mo stared at him angrily and left.

Zhou Jing turned his head to question his son, but found that Zhou Yu had already got out of the crowd and hid behind the counter.

"He also said he didn't like that type, otherwise why would he rush to greet others, isn't he the most reticent? Hey, men are the same regardless of size!"

The shop was busy until the sun went down, and candles had to be lit, and the crowd slowly dispersed because they couldn't see clearly.

The newly invited Shopkeeper Wang and Zhou Jing and Shen Mo counted the goods by lighting candles, and found that most of the goods were sold in one day, and half of the container was empty.The most sold ones are the soap, hand cream and face cream processed in Zhou's workshop, but the rouge gouache from the south, which is usually the most popular, sells less.

Shopkeeper Wang was so happy that he could grin his ears.

"Boss, I've been a shopkeeper all these years, this is the first time I've experienced this kind of crazy buying. If you don't know, don't you think that we don't need money for this thing?"

Zhou Jing smiled and said: "Don't be too happy too early, our workshop started to be built after thawing, and it has only been completed for less than two months, and it is all handmade. Most of the stock is here. I see if you can sell it. After that, is it going to close down?"

Shopkeeper Wang knew that the matter was true, but what Zhou Jing said was just joking with him, so he didn't care.

"Boss, let's limit our purchases in the future. We will only sell [-] items a day, otherwise everything will be sold, and I, the shopkeeper, will have to go home?"

"Okay, all the goods are added together, and they will not be sold if they exceed thirty, even if they are all the cheapest household soap. Otherwise, there will be nothing to sell in our shop."

"Yes, Master."

The business is so good that the supply exceeds the demand and it is urgent.If the owner of the nearby makeup shop heard this, he would probably put a sack on Zhou Jing, it would be so irritating!

But when he saw the ledger at night, Zhou Jing became a chrysanthemum.There are ten sets of limited edition boxes, one box costs 370 taels of silver, and half of them are sold in one day. Including other odds and zeros, the total profit is 300 taels in one day.After removing the labor and cost, at least half of it remains.

Zhou Jing waved his hand happily, "It's been hard work today, and everyone will be rewarded with one piece of house soap and twenty Wen. The reward for this month's treasurer Wang will be doubled for you."

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and bowed with joy, and said a lot of good things.

Shen Lin followed after a busy day, and Shen Mo brought him a set box, household soap and beauty soap, four yuan each.

Shen Lin refused to take it, so Shen Mo pretended to be angry and said, "If you get married, you will be far away from elder brother, and you don't want elder brother's things. Forget that you were raised by elder brother."

When Shen Mo said this, Shen Lin didn't dare to refuse, and took the things.

It’s okay to be busy so late, shopkeeper Wang is okay, it’s okay for a man to go back late, the two girls are their first day at work, and they didn’t go back so late, the family members were terrified, and rushed to the shop for a while. Seeing that they do business by lighting candles, I don't know if there is anything that those women want to discredit and buy back.

Knowing that their sister was fine, they didn't dare to go in and disturb them, so they squatted on the ground outside, they were all frozen, and only then did they see her come out.

The two men rushed up immediately.

Zhou Jing said gently: "It's all in a hurry. It's okay. It just opened today, and it won't be closed tomorrow. Get on the bullock cart. I'll ask Jiang Wei to take you back."

Sitting on the bullock cart, Jiang Wei said, "Get in the cart, it's so late, it's not convenient for you to walk back."

Shopkeeper Wang said, "But there's only one ox cart, and we'll take it. What do you guys do?"

"We are close, we can only walk for a quarter of an hour, so hurry up."

Shen Mo also persuaded: "Hurry up and go in the car, this is a reward for you, just work hard in the future."

"Yes."

On the way, the man who came to pick up his sister said: "Master Zhou and Fulang are very kind, and they are also good to the servants. If it is another master, there is no reason to go back and let the guy take the car."

The younger sister said: "No, Master Zhou and Fulang Zhou are really nice. You see, because we are too busy today, Master Zhou gave each of us a piece of house soap and twenty Wen."

The man didn't know the value of pancreas, he only recognized the money, and said, "Twenty Wen? A day's wages is really generous!"

The younger sister said: "You, you really don't know how to see gold inlaid with jade. Twenty coins is nothing, but this piece of soap costs one hundred coins a piece, and there will be a limited amount tomorrow, so you can't buy it casually.

"What, you don't make money if you have money? Then wouldn't it be easy to sell what we have, and the family will be a lot more relaxed if we get a lot of money."

Realizing something was wrong after speaking, the siblings looked nervously at Shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang said flatly: "Since it was rewarded to you by the boss, it is yours. You can keep it for yourself or sell it. But don't worry about it, otherwise I won't be the first to spare you."

"Yes, yes, I know."

Shen Lin went home and told Wang Ren the price of the items, and asked him to supplement his elder brother with the income from the sausage shop.

Wang Rendao: "Xiaolin, your elder brother is very good to you, not because of how much you have, but because of his heart. You see, he left our two sister-in-laws and parents behind for you, isn't it just to make you feel better?" some."

Shen Lin rubbed his sore nose, "Brother was very kind to me, since I was a child, so my childhood was not bitter at all, on the contrary, I was very happy. Brother Ren, we just need to remember that brother says he is brother-in-law, then he is brother-in-law , the rest has nothing to do with us."

Wang Ren hugged Shen Lin lightly and said, "I know, I just need to remember what you said."
