Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Chapter 21: Making money and making money

It wasn't until Mo Lier's soft call woke up Xu Zizhen that he came back to his senses: "Ah? What's wrong with Lier?"

Mo Lier smiled and said, "Brother Xu forgot one most important thing, what price should this mascara be sold for?"

Oh yes, the price hasn't been set yet, and he can make a fortune pointing to this stuff, he smiled and shook his two fingers.

Mo Lier said, "Two taels of silver?"

Xu Zizhen shook his head and smiled, "No, it's 20 taels."

"What? 20 taels?!" Mo Lier was stunned, and Mo Xie, who was not far away, was also shocked when he heard it.

You must know that the most high-end rouge sold in Xie Fuchunli is only three taels of silver in a box, and it is a sandalwood box. Although this mascara is expensive, after all, the white porcelain bottle is only the size of a thumb, and such a little thing sells for 20 taels. Even Mo Li'er, with such a calm temperament, couldn't help but call him a profiteer.

Xu Zizhen doesn't care about these things, the real money is in his pocket. Although he has a bad history when he was in school, he also knows that the Song Dynasty is the richest dynasty in history. There are a few British people, that is to say, if the British can only eat one bun a day, the people of Song Dynasty can eat two and throw two.

However, seeing Mo Li'er's tangled face, he still smiled and said: "Li'er, you don't understand. As the saying goes, rare things are the most valuable. Since Xie Fuchun is the only one who has this thing in the world, why don't you kill him?" Anyone else? Besides, although our bottle is small, it can be used for a long time. Could it be that we sell a bottle and wait for others to use it up in a year before buying again?"

Mo Lier is not very old, but she has been in such a family since she was a child, and she knows a lot about business. In fact, she doesn't think so much about doing business like Xu Zizhen, but out of trust in Xu Zizhen, she finally agreed. down.

Xie Fuchun is an old-fashioned cosmetic shop in Suzhou. It has been operating in a well-regulated manner for more than a hundred years, but today it suddenly changed its style of conduct. There are so many gorgeous brothel women standing outside the door, which is really eye-catching.

There are so many red girls who usually have to spend money to go to the red sleeve tricks to see them, but today you can see them for real as long as you pass by. Looking at that stupid look, it is conceivable that those honest people, those men passing by were fascinated, and stared straight at the side of the street.

With that wife by her side, she pinched her husband fiercely in hatred, and at the same time cursed "fox spirit", "shameless" and so on. The yellow-faced women secretly repented in their hearts, and knew that they would not take this road today.

At this time, someone spotted the problem with sharp eyes, and immediately called out: "Hey, what are these girls' eyes smeared?"

When he said this, someone immediately responded: "Ah, sure enough, why do these eyes look like goblins!"

Soon, everyone present noticed this situation. The girls saw more and more people in front of them. They saw the timing and giggled coquettishly and said: "Masters, do you think it looks good? This is Xie Fuchun's new creation , called mascara, and it's only just starting to go on sale."

Everyone suddenly understood, but then they were shocked, this is really a wonderful thing, the eyelashes of those girls have become so long and curled, almost enough to put a toothpick on it.

Once the news got out, the men were better off, they just continued to look at Sister Hong who didn't spend money, but those women couldn't stand up anymore, which woman doesn't like to be pretty?Even the yellow-faced woman has to think of ways to make herself younger and more beautiful, so as to seduce her man's heart.

Almost all the women in the crowd's eyes lit up, and they ran straight to Xie Fuchunli without even thinking about it. Soon, the spacious shop was crowded to the brim.

Women are the most ruthless when they pursue beauty. No matter in the Song Dynasty or the 21st century, this is an irreversible truth. After the women who enter the store learn the price of the mascara, as long as they have money in their pockets Yes, everyone happily bought a bottle, while those from poor families were still reluctant to leave, wandering around the counter wondering if they should borrow money to buy it.

Now those men are secretly regretting it, 20 taels of silver is not too much, and it is not too much to say that it is not too much. They only bought such a small bottle of stuff at such a price, and they couldn’t help cursing themselves, that prodigal bitch. .

I have to say that the current situation has exceeded Xu Zizhen's expectations. The crowd has pushed him behind the counter, and the smell of face powder and shaving oil all over the room made him want to sneeze, which was extremely uncomfortable, but looking at Sun Sister Wu took back the white ingot of silver, but he felt indescribably at ease.

Earn money, earn money, a bottle is 20 taels, and [-] bottles is [-] taels, but the total cost of these things is less than three taels of silver. No wonder the way Lier looked at her just now clearly despised the two words.

Mo Xie and Mo Lier stood on both sides, teaching the female guests how to use and apply makeup, while Liuli stepped aside and secretly looked at Xu Zizhen. She saw Xu Zizhen's face beaming with joy. With the appearance of a profiteer, how can he have the demeanor of shocking everyone when he performed the red sleeve trick last night?

In less than an hour, the [-] bottles of mascara brought by Xu Zizhen were sold out, and many who came late and didn't buy them paid a deposit while complaining. People were also surprised.

Seeing the pile of money, Xu Zizhen was elated, waved his big hand and shouted: "Today, one counts as one. I will treat guests to Songhe Tower for dinner. If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Mo Li'er chuckled: "Brother Xu, don't be in a hurry to eat, there are still many customers coming to pick up the goods tomorrow, Li'er thinks you should prepare the goods first."

Xu Zizhen patted his forehead: "That's right, forget about that... In this way, you, Xie Fuchun, should have your own workshop. I'll leave the formula and method to you, and let you make this stuff from now on."

Mo Xie was surprised: "This... I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

Judging from the scene of the first sale today, the mascara's explosion is predictable, and the formula and method have definitely become a precious thing in this cosmetics industry. I started.

Xu Zizhen doesn't care about this. In his opinion, Mo Lier will be his own sooner or later, and the formula of the little mascara is nothing. Come to a piece of paper and prepare to write down the recipe.

At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in from outside the door, the fifth and third were as thick and black as a lump of carbon, and as soon as he entered the door, he opened his voice and shouted: "Brother!"

This sudden voice startled everyone in the store, Xu Zizhen turned his head to look, but saw that it was his new "little brother" Master Hua.

Not long after noon, Xu Zizhen counted the time and said with a smile, "Is it done?"

Master Hua grinned: "It's done, with the help of big brother, this matter is not difficult at all."

Today may be the most elated day since Master Hua came to Suzhou. He is originally from Huaiyin. Many years ago, due to the flood in his hometown, he came to Suzhou to make a living. , Seeing that this day is going to be unbearable, I was forced to start this rambunctious business in desperation. On weekdays, I rely on collecting some booth protection fees and the like.

Master Hua is straightforward by nature and loves to make friends. Although he is a bit lecherous, he is very good to his friends and brothers. Therefore, he has developed into a tyrant in the past few years, but he is an outsider after all, and his foundation in the local area is not good. Shen, tried his best but only occupied three of the six city gates of Suzhou.

Yesterday he failed to arrest but was arrested, and fell into the hands of Xu Zizhen. Originally, he was just begging for perfection temporarily out of desperation, but he didn't expect Xu Zizhen to take the initiative to offer him an olive branch, saying that he would help him become the only boss in Suzhou City .

He didn't believe it at all, and Xu Zizhen's age and appearance didn't look like someone with such great energy. Although he agreed verbally at the time, he really didn't know what to do. He still tried to send someone to check the situation first, but the result surprised him.

Lei Butou of the government office led his men to stand guard outside Loumen, one of the six city gates, when Master Hua led a large group of people walking past with anxiety, they turned a blind eye. Master Hua suddenly understood After coming over, it turned out that the cheap brother Xu Zizhen really didn't lie to himself.

As Master Hua himself said, it is not a problem to take down any of the city gates with his strength. Now that Lei Butou is guarding the city gates for him, the bosses of the other two gates will not dare to come to help even if they hear the news. Fist, just watched him easily snatch Loumen down.

As soon as the battle here ended, Lord Hua immediately led people straight to Qimen, but Butou Lei had already arrived here one step ahead of him, and it didn't take long for this area to be named Hua.

Not surprisingly, the Fengmen fell into his hands two hours later. Although he was exhausted this morning and many of his brothers were injured, he was already happy in his heart.

Master Hua doesn't know who Xu Zizhen is, but now he has completely regarded Xu Zizhen as his real boss, and he can mobilize the arresters of the yamen to help him with a single sentence. This kind of energy is not comparable to that of a little rascal. of.

Seeing his smug look, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. This is a win-win situation. With his flower master in the future, he will be much safer in Suzhou, and he can do business or other things. Much more convenient.

He smiled and patted Master Hua on the shoulder: "Master Hua, from now on you can be regarded as a man of the hour."

Master Hua bent down slightly, smiled humbly and said, "That's also the elder brother's help."

Liuli, Mo Lier and the others looked puzzled, especially Mo Xie, she naturally knew the name of Master Hua, although she was not full of evil, but she had a strong reputation, and now she was so humble to Xu Zizhen, which completely made her She couldn't figure it out.

Master Hua suddenly withdrew his smile, leaned close to Xu Zizhen's ear and whispered, "Brother, I went to investigate what you told me, and my brother really found something."
