Chapter 430 Propose to buy a mule cart
Zhao Bei covered his buttocks and heard Wen Shengxi laughing over there. He turned his head and glared at Zhao Nan with resentment in his eyes, "Brother Nan!"
That unhappy look on my face seemed to be saying that I had no respect for my reputation!
"Little brat!" Zhao Nan muttered to him, then turned to look at Gu Qingqing and said, "Boss, do you have any medicine residue at home? Let him use it to wash the dishes."
Gu Qingqing really likes them. It’s not admiration, but the playfulness between them that makes them feel like new brothers, even though they are not real brothers.
Especially when he saw Zhao Bei being beaten up by his brothers every day, it was like they were bullying their own children. Of course, his brothers were really nice to him.
Gu Qingqing was also amused by them, and said to Zhao Nan, "You have deposited several tubes with me. I let you use them on weekdays, and I am reluctant to use any of them. The ones I gave you were boiled three times in water. Why would you be reluctant to use them?"
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she gestured to Wen Shengxi who was laughing at the side and said, "Go to the ear room and get a bamboo tube."
Ever since her family started making shampoo, it has been selling very well in Taohua Town, Shangyang County, and Xinzhou Prefecture, especially Xinzhou Prefecture. Zhao Dong and Zhao Bei send soap and shampoo there every month, and Shopkeeper Chai wishes they would come back again as soon as they return.
Zhao Dong came back and talked to her about this, but she disagreed. The key point was that she couldn't produce such a large quantity.
There is not enough lard to make soap, and not enough soapberries to make shampoo. All the problems have to wait until late autumn, when the soapberries on the mountains mature and fall. If she can stockpile enough, all problems will be solved.
In addition, the shampoo she currently makes has three grades. The best is the first grade, which is the water from the first batch of shampoo and is mainly supplied to shops.
The second step is to add water to the filtered medicinal residue and boil it for the second time to make the second grade. The effect is not as good and it is mainly sold to households in the village. Of course, the price is also cheap.
Many households in Niutoushan Village came to buy, and similarly, the second-class goods were also the best sellers in the town. After all, the people who came to the town to buy things were all from the surrounding villages.
As for the third grade?
The second-grade medicinal residues are collected together and continued to be boiled, and some first-grade shampoo is added. Gu Qingqing mainly uses these for her family.
The third-grade product is less effective, but she makes up for it with quantity. One bamboo tube of first-grade product can be used three or four times, and if someone uses the third-grade product to wash their hair, they can just pour the contents of the bamboo tube into the basin, and the effect will be achieved.
To her it was just a waste of a few more pieces of firewood.
At the same time, she gave third-grade shampoo as a welfare benefit to everyone who worked at home, with each person receiving two bamboo buckets per month.
The size of the bamboo tube is the height of a section of an adult bamboo cut from the mountains.
Zhao Xi, Zhao Feng and Zhao Zhong are men who have wives and children, and they take their monthly shares home for their own use.
The three bachelors, Zhao Dong, Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei, were left. Who knows what they did when they took a shower. There were several bamboo tubes of shampoo belonging to them left at Gu Qingqing's place.
Wen Shengxi, who had gone to get shampoo, quickly ran back with a bamboo tube of shampoo in his hand. He held it up in front of Gu Qingqing and said, "Sister, here you go."
"What are you doing for me? For Zhao Bei." Gu Qingqing was so angry that she laughed.
"Here, it's for you." Wen Shengxi walked up to Zhao Bei and handed the bamboo tube to Zhao Bei with both hands. Looking at Zhao Bei's dazed look, Wen Shengxi couldn't help but want to laugh.
Zhao Bei was often bullied by his brothers, but he was eighteen years old after all. Seeing Wen Shengxi, who was several years younger than him, making fun of him, he pretended to be fierce and ferocious. "You are laughing, be careful or I will turn into a green-faced and fanged ghost to find you at night."
Wen Shengxi was startled by what he said and stared at him with wide eyes.
Before she could say anything, Zhao Dong slapped Zhao Bei on the shoulder and said, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. It's unlucky."
Zhao Bei seemed accustomed to this. He turned around and made three "Pooh" sounds towards the open ground, then smiled at Zhao Dong.
Then he said "thank you" to Gu Qingqing and Wen Shengxi.
After Zhao Dong's hand left his shoulder, he didn't leave in a hurry. He looked at Gu Qingqing and asked, "Boss, when will Wuyan be back?"
"Wu Yan?" Gu Qingqing repeated what Zhao Dong said, then thought for a moment and said, "According to the calculation, he will be back in seven days. Brother Dong, do you have something to talk to Wu Yan about?"
Zhao Dong smiled and nodded, "There are things I want to talk to Wuyan about."
Seeing that he was going to talk to Wen Wuyan, Gu Qingqing guessed that it might be about the man, so she didn't ask too much, but just said that she would come back in a few days.
Zhao Dong had something to talk to Wen Wuyan about, and she also had something to talk to Zhao Dong about. "Brother Dong, don't leave in a hurry. I just happen to have something to tell you. There will be a market in the town in a few days. See who you can go with to look for a mule. In a few days, you will go to Xinzhou Prefecture again. It will not be convenient for Xiaocao and the others to go to the town by driving a donkey cart. I thought about it and decided to buy a mule and a large cart at the same time."
"Boss, do you want to buy another mule? If it's just for delivering goods, after a couple of days when we brothers are free, we can go to the town early to take the mule cart to the county, and then find a mule cart from the county to Xinzhou Prefecture, right?" Zhao Dong felt that buying another mule cart was a waste.
Gu Qingqing smiled, "Brother Dong, it's still not very convenient. Not to mention the trouble of driving back and forth with the stuff, including the shop that Madam Shen and I opened in Shangyang County, we also have to deliver goods from time to time. If we have our own mule cart, no matter which brother goes, at least he has the strength to walk."
Zhao Dong thought about it and confirmed with Gu Qingqing again, "Does the boss really want to buy it?"
Gu Qingqing showed a rather hurt expression and said, "Brother Dong, do you know when I broke my promise? I'll give you some money on the day of the market, and you can go to the town with someone to watch. I won't go, because I don't understand, and I'm too lazy to go so far."
"Okay, I'll go and see what the boss wants from the mule."
"No requirements. This mule cart is mainly for you to use. You can go and choose it yourself." Gu Qingqing said.
"Okay, I'll come over there to get the money from the boss." After Zhao Dong said this, he saw that nothing was wrong with Gu Qingqing and Zhao Bei was twisting and turning on the spot with tingling all over. He said goodbye to Gu Qingqing and the group left the Wen family.
It was only at this time that Lu Xiaocao exclaimed, "Sister, are you going to buy a mule cart?"
Gu Qingqing nodded, "I'll buy it. I was thinking that once we have a mule, no matter who is going to deliver the goods, we can set the time on the day your brother-in-law goes to school in the county, so that we can take your brother-in-law with us. As long as the date is calculated and includes your brother-in-law's return from the county, our mule cart can bring your brother-in-law back."
After Gu Qingqing said this, Lu Xiaocao nodded and felt that the family should have a mule cart.
