delicious little cook

Chapter 322

Everything was agreed, Liu Daping wrote a note to tell Bai Kou, Bai Kou gave the note to the young master, and Gu Yun took it to borrow money from his mother, only 300 taels, and he paid the extra commission for Yaxing and Liu Daping himself.

300 taels, 18% monthly interest, 310 taels of interest a year, a total of [-] taels to be repaid, Gu Yun thinks this money is still affordable, but if he wants to renovate the house and use it as a soap production workshop, he has to continue to ask his mother loan.

Gu Yun felt that if he borrowed a few more sums like this, all the income in the coming year would have to be used to repay the debt.

so poor!

The eldest lady asked Pang's mother to take 300 taels of silver to her son, and teased her son like a shopkeeper of a bank, welcome to come again next time.

Gu Yun took the money and went back to the courtyard, and gave the money to Bai Kou. The next morning, she took the money to the Zhuangzhai Yachang, and asked the Yaren to go to Dahuangji together. Tell me the number face-to-face, and Yahang will take care of you when you go to the yamen. Dahuangji's family also agrees to move within three days.

Everything here is over, Bai Kou went out to find out the address of Liu Daping's house from the neighbors, went to find him, and gave him the commission, which made Liu Daping panic, took the money and thanked him repeatedly, and made up his mind to hug him. Taking close care of the big tree of the eldest son, after sending Bai Kou out, he still took the time to tell the old father to educate the four children of Li Fushun's family well.

Bai Kou left Liu Daping's house and then went to Xianbugou to inspect their production situation. Outside the street gate, they met buyers from other places who came to buy goods. Two carts pulled ten boxes of household soap and 20 yuan rubbing coat board.

Of course, this washboard was also made by a carpenter in the workshop, and it was sold as a supporting tool for household soap, but I didn't expect to make money from this washboard. Things that are too easy to imitate are not easy to make money. I just told the Li family Use this washboard to wash clothes every day and show it to the neighbors. They will pass it on by word of mouth, and eventually the entire community will know the correct way to use household soap.

Grandma Li herself said that now everyone in the family likes to be clean, and the boys know how to change their handkerchiefs every day, rub them with soap, and wash them off in a while.

After exchanging pleasantries with Grandma Li for a while, Bai Kou went to Yan Zheng and told him that he had bought Da Huang Ji's house and owed Da Furen 310 taels of silver from now on, and asked him to keep the account carefully. return.

Yan Zheng nodded in response, walked into the main room and wrote down several items in the account book.

Seeing that the business here is in order, Bai Kou said hello to Yan Zheng, and went back to the house to rest.

In the afternoon, the girls were sorting out private affairs in the courtyard of the back building, washing hair, bathing, and washing clothes. When there were too many people, they naturally chatted and gossiped. Just as Bai Kou came back from the small kitchen, he was surrounded by them and asked the young master about his business. Is it smooth.

Bai Kou told them about the closure of all the three original soap workshops in Tianshuifang. The house of the last one was just bought by the prince, but he didn't say that it was a loan from the eldest lady.

The girls cheered unceasingly, celebrating the young master's Xian Bugou becoming the only pancreas workshop in Tianshuifang as he wished.

Qiongyu smiled the happiest, such a rich young master should hug him tightly, only fools want to let Liang marry.

When Gu Yun arrived home in the evening, all the girls chirped and congratulated him together. Gu Yun was coaxed to be happy by them, and ate a round of the girls' tender tofu one by one, which made them all shy and timid, laughing coquettishly.

In the evening, Gu Yun came back after saying good night to the elders. Turning his toes habitually, he entered the corridor of the courtyard behind the building, only to find that there were girls going in and out of the utility room, some fetching water, some carrying charcoal, so he had no choice but to Quietly back the same way, went into the study and called Qinglan to call Bai Kou to tell the details.

Bai Kou explained the handover of the deed in detail, and casually talked about the fact that she saw customers coming to buy Shiba soap during the day. The business is developing steadily, which is good news to be happy about.

Gu Yun heard that today there was a customer who bought ten boxes in one go. Based on the wholesale price of fourteen taels each, the total price of these ten boxes of household soap is fifteen thousand and one hundred and twenty taels, which is about 120 taels when converted into silver taels. Six taels of silver, even if the cost and expenses accounted for half of it, there would still be six taels of net profit. If you make a few more, you will have the interest on the debt.

After such a settlement, Gu Yun's face was filled with joyful smiles.

Bai Kou let him go alone, she resigned and went back to work.

The next day, Gu Yun invited someone out to play and left in the morning. Bai Kou was busy with housework and it was noon. After taking a lunch break, he called the four old girls of Keyun and went to the silver building to pick out gifts for Meilun.

But the four of them were brought up from the third-class girls, and the monthly bill of five hundred wen also provided them with their own pocket money. Where could they save up much taels of silver? Chai, if you buy Chai, you can't buy cloves. In short, you can only buy one.

But Bai Kou has money, no matter what the four girls choose, she can boldly ask the store to make up the rest, and make up a set of silver-faced noodles to add makeup to Meilun.

With Bai Kou's full support, the girls walked back and forth between various silver houses to compare styles, and finally made up their minds to buy a set. It is double heavy, and the other items are also heavy, and they are carefully packed together in a velvet box and wrapped into a gift package.

After finishing their official business, Bai Kou led them to stroll around the street again, ate several signature delicacies, and finally had a rest in the teahouse before returning home.

The five of them entered Babu Alley directly from the east side door, and just after entering the courtyard, they heard Aunt Su say that the young master had returned from drinking, but the four of Yun hurried away first, and Bai Kou returned slowly with his things. Lock your own house, and then go to the front to check the situation.

When entering Baoxia, there was no one in the rooms on both sides, and Qiongyu was not in the front hall either. Bai Kou went out to the corridor and turned to the bedroom. The prince was sitting on his couch drinking tea, with a flushed face, bewitched eyes, beautiful Lun Meihuan and the other eight girls waited around him, fearing that he would choke on the water.

Bai Kou pushed aside the crowd and glanced at him. Seeing that the hand holding the cup was steady and didn't spill a drop of water, she knew that he came back after resting from drinking, but his face didn't fade away, so he ordered the maids to wait for the young master to rest From time to time, pay attention to let him sleep on his side, open the airway to avoid suffocation in the dream, and then she left again.

Gu Yun knew that Bai Kou hated drinking too much, and he didn't say anything when he saw her leaving after she finished speaking. The other girls were frightened by her drunken and suffocating words, so they rushed to persuade the young master next time. Stop drinking like this, and call the second-class maids to prepare hot soup to wait for the young master to wash and change clothes.

The people were busy and waited for the young master to sleep and rest before they dispersed. Miaoer and Feihua didn't dare to pull the bed curtains, so they moved their chairs and sat by the foot of the bed, watching the young master while they were female celebrities. He glanced.

Once Bai Kou left, she never came back to show her face, nor did she ask how the maids were doing. She went back to the house to rest on her own, and did whatever she had to do when the time came.
