Chapter 306 Bai Kou Has Her Own Plan
Gu Yun sat in the main room with a gloomy face. Yan Zheng briefly introduced the business situation these days to him. The children of the Li family have gone to school, and Grandma Li is doing the housework alone. , There are a lot of orders to be made, and the customers of these big families are buying boxes of Shi soap.

The business is gratifying, with the fame and reputation of the paper soap, now that the winter hunting is over, the business will be even better, and basically all the restaurants, restaurants and dim sum shops in the square know that Xianbugou buys it for seven cents a barrel Clean frying waste oil is used to make household soap, and they all take the initiative to send oil here. Seven barrels of waste oil can be sent in one go to exchange for three bars of soap. Now there are no worries about raw materials in the warehouse.

Originally, the purchase price of seven cents was specially given to those who collect swill, so as to encourage them to send clean waste oil to Xianbugou, but somehow the news leaked out, and the big oil users, whether it is a shop or a big family, are getting more and more expensive. Yue Duo changed to sending oil directly to exchange household soap for use. Those slop collectors in the workshop could not receive oil, and began to complain about the difficulty of doing business, but they would not dare to make trouble if given a hundred courage.

Gu Yun felt a little better when he heard that the business was going well, and when he saw Bai Kou walking into the main room, his expression immediately turned down again.

Seeing this, Yan Zheng quickly found an excuse to back out.

Bai Kou saluted with a smile, glanced at the table, walked over to pick up the teapot to refill Gu Yun's cup, and then brought it to Gu Yun's hand.

"Don't pretend to be courteous to me, I won't be fooled by you." Gu Yun said so, taking a few sips from the cup in his hand.

"Why did the son say such a thing?"

"I heard from Yan Zheng that Big and Yellow Ji came here to make a fuss almost every day. Before we set off, you had invited Wuhou's subordinates to take turns to sit in town every day. You didn't tell me about these things!" Gu Yun put down his teacup and pointed Pointing to the bench under the table, he signaled Bai Kou to sit down and said.

"You are the eldest son, the big owner who invests in the business, the wholly-owned major shareholder. What you have to do is to attend various entertainments, expand the market for the products, and formulate the direction of decision-making. As for the details, the following people will naturally take care of them. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the money you paid." Bai Kou pulled out the bench from under the table, and sat on Gu Yun's right hand sideways.

"What does this have to do with you not telling me that someone comes to make trouble every day?"

"Because it's not time for you to go out."

"They're all making trouble like this, when are you going to call me out?"

"Of course it's worth asking you to come out after the men of their two families come out to talk. It's just that women and children are arguing, and there is no sincerity at all. Why should the servant girl waste your time?"

Gu Yun frowned, "Really?"

"What is serious? A man? A woman? Or sincerity?"

"It's true that only women and children come out to make trouble?"

"It's true, there are only women and children, and no men. Obviously, the men of their two families have not died, and they have not invited a scholar to come forward to express peace talks on their behalf. Every day, a group of women and children are rolling and crying outside the door. When they are tired, they go back to cook. , Cry when you’re full.”

"Didn't they say that there is no rice in the house?"

"Listen to their cries, is that really the volume of people who are about to starve to death?"

"The voice is loud, full and powerful."

"Then it's over. The purpose of their life and death is to want you to buy them too. This is the only right decision they made, but their value is too low, and they made such a fuss without thinking. If it drags on to a war of attrition, then it will be wasted, and it will be a good time to lower the price until their family is really wiped out."

"Where did you learn these tricks?" Gu Yun was dumbfounded.

"Thanks to Uncle Yan and Aunt Rong's careful teaching, this servant has benefited a lot." Bai Kou lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

"I think they taught you well." Gu Yun said sincerely.

"Thank you, my son, for your praise."

Gu Yun's seat was the upper one, his eyes were facing the door, he looked at the two inspectors sitting by the street door, and licked his chin at Bai Kou.

"Before those two families completely collapsed, is this the only way now?"

"That's the only way. They can't afford it. Xiao Huang's family is about to bottom out, and Da Huang's family can last a few more days."

"What if they are really desperate and hang on my gate?"

"Oh, it's really just in case."

"Look, we can't fight so hard, we still have to give them some hope and let them know what is the most beneficial choice."

But Bai Kou took out the notepad and pen in the satchel, turned to the blank page and wrote a memo.

"You are right, son, we must give them new hope, and at the same time, we must be fully prepared."

"What to prepare?"

"Contact the monastery. If you really hanged on the gate of Xianbugou, please ask the monastery to accept and help cremate the ashes and sprinkle the ashes into the river in the woodland."

"what?!"

"If the whole family hangs themselves, even the spirit cards will be saved."

"Isn't that turning into a lonely ghost? There will be a lot of discussion in the whole workshop!"

"It's okay. Every year, the gate of ghosts opens on the Ghost Festival, and the seducers will come out to gather lonely ghosts to reincarnate. They hang themselves now and stay as lonely ghosts for half a year at most."

"Are you serious?!"

"Ecstasy Messenger? Of course it's true."

"Who told you that you are a seducer! I'm asking if you really plan to do that?"

"What's the plan? The servant girl doesn't know how to seduce souls, so she can't grab the job of the seducer."

"You are just for messing around with me!"

"My lord, what do you want to say?"

"I feel like you're just waiting to see their whole family hang themselves and have their bodies happily collected."

"Well, son, this is just the worst plan. You must prepare for the worst in everything, but at the same time, you must work hard for the best result."

"So what's your best bet?"

"Let them voluntarily dedicate themselves to surrender, donate their property and transfer it to your name, and after renovation, it will be changed into a single dormitory for the workers in the future."

"Then... what about their two families?"

"Since it's yours, you can do whatever you like."

"Drive away?!" Gu Yun's voice suddenly dropped.

"Anyway, as long as you're happy."

"Uncle Yan and Aunt Rong have really taken in good apprentices."

"Your Majesty, I'm overwhelmed." Bai Kou stood up with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, please sit down for a while, and my servant will go to the backyard to have a look."

"Me too. I want to see how your new skill is going."

The two walked to the backyard, and the re-planned backyard became neat and orderly. The warehouse and the work area were completely separated. Li Fushun and his wife wore masks, gloves, headscarves, soft hats, and long leather aprons, and each kept a pot of soap. Stirring, sweating profusely.

Yan Zheng came in and out of the warehouse, and there was no shortage of main materials, but he had to pay attention to replenishment of auxiliary materials, and he had to count the number of finished products, and send the completed orders to deliver the goods.

The place where the lye is prepared is at the very edge of the raw material warehouse, separated from the work area by an aisle. It is a special cubicle with a movable window at the height. After closing the door, there is no fear that the caustic soda in the room will be blown into flying pieces by the strong outdoor wind. snowflake.

Gu Yun took advantage of his eagerness to learn, and asked Li Fushun and his wife their views on the new craft, especially whether it was safer than the traditional technique.

Li Fushun and his wife naturally praised it again and again. Not only is it safe, but it is also much cleaner. The whole backyard is no longer full of smog, and they can safely ask children to come and walk, which was strictly prohibited before.

Gu Yun took a tour around and felt very satisfied. Seeing that Yan Zheng had already finished his work, he called the three of him back to the front hall to continue talking and learn about the accounts.
