Chapter 386 Huge Profits
Gu Qingqing smiled gently at Madam Shen, "It's naturally good to be needed."
Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded in response, "Well, if you have it, just send someone to deliver it to the shop. You can decide the price."
None of them returned to the house. Standing in the shade of the inner courtyard, Gu Qingqing nodded to Madam Shen and the others as a response.
Then he said to Dahua, "Go to the west wing and get some soaps with different scents."
After she saw that there were no outsiders present, she said directly to Madam Shen, "This time, the products are slightly different from those sent to the mansion before. The production cost of one piece is eight cents, so I will give it to the rouge shop at eight cents. My shop will also sell it later. We have a unified price, so that no one with ulterior motives will take advantage of it."
Mrs. Shen took her hand and smiled, "How can I let you do it for free? You have to pay 15 cents for each piece and bring it to the shop."
Gu Qingqing shook her head. "I want to make money but I can't let the people in the shop work for nothing. I can only give them ten cents at most. I want to take advantage of your promotion. If Madam Shen doesn't agree, then just let them gather dust in my house."
Mrs. Shen saw that she was not in a good mood, so she stopped arguing. Thinking that the two families would have more interactions in the future, she nodded in agreement.
While they were talking, Dahua had already done as Gu Qingqing had said and brought over a bar of soap of each flavor in the house. Encouraged by Gu Qingqing's eyes, she began to explain it seriously to Mrs. Shen.
"This one smells like mint, and it's so cool when you take a bath. This purple one smells like mulberry, and your body feels smooth after using it. This yellow one is made of mountain flowers, and it's also fragrant. This one smells like wormwood, and it's the best, and it smells good when you use it."
Dahua pointed to a piece of light brown that looked like a thick leaf. If you look closely, you will find that the shape of the soap is actually an enlarged Q version of mugwort leaf.
Obviously, her favorite is the grass picking one.
The appearance was specially designed by Gu Qingqing, including the mint soap, which uses a mold carved to imitate mint leaves, and the remaining mulberry soap and flower soap use flower-shaped molds.
The two Madam Shens looked at the soaps that Dahua had brought out and couldn't let go of them. "Qingqing, how come you have so many ideas? Not only did you come up with so many flavors, but you even came up with some unique shapes."
"I thought that these things were mostly used by the ladies or daughters of wealthy families, and they were more likely to be liked if they looked good."
She deliberately made such a fuss, to put it simply and bluntly, it was to please the market.
To put it more complicatedly, after analysis, we decide who to sell the finished product to first.
Since you are planning to sell it to wealthy ladies and girls, what do they like?
Good-looking appearance must be one of them.
The various flavors give them some diverse choices.
"Madam Wen is really thoughtful. If I knew whose shop had these beautiful and useful things, I would definitely send someone to buy more. Just the smell is better than some ointments." The wife of the third master, who seldom spoke, said, holding the mulberry soap in her hand.
"They are all good things. Since you want to sell them, does Qingqing have any price in mind?" asked Mrs. Shen.
Gu Qingqing nodded slowly, "I'm planning to pay fifteen cents, what does Madam Shen think?"
Madam Shen smiled slightly. "I told you earlier that you don't know how good your work is. Fifteen cents is a little too low. How about twenty cents?"
She can make several pieces from a pound of pork fat, and sell them for twenty cents, which is definitely a huge profit!
"Then do as Mrs. Shen said. I will sell them at this price in the future. Take these pieces back and use them first."
"Okay, I won't refuse you, I'll take it. You're pregnant now and you shouldn't be too tired, go back and rest, we'll be back soon." Mrs. Shen said, looking at her not-so-good complexion.
"Thank you for your concern, madam. The road back home will be bumpy, madam, so you should be careful. I will let Dahua take my place and send you off."
Seeing the people leave, Gu Qingqing instantly became a weak insect. He went back to the room, collapsed on the kang, and fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, the sun was already setting.
......
Gu Qingqing listened to the noisy sounds outside, yawned, and went out.
Before I even reached the front yard, I heard Wen Wuyan's voice first, "Brother Dong, what are you doing? Are you dissatisfied with the poor food you eat at home?"
"Wuyan, who would believe you if you say this? Whose food in the whole village can be as good as yours? Your brother Dong didn't have the means before, but now we have earned some money in town, and we didn't know what to buy, so we simply bought 200 kilograms of grain, including 50 kilograms of rice. Let Uncle Yang cook for Dong and the children at home. It's nutritious." Zhao Dong said as he put his arm on Wen Wuyan's shoulder and at the same time, he blocked Wen Wuyan against the wall with one side of his body.
He took the opportunity to signal Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei to quickly move the food off the truck.
"Hey, Brother Dong, don't stop me. I'll return these tomorrow. We just harvested the wheat at home, so why should we ask you to buy them from outside?"
Zhao Dong's physique is two sizes larger than Wen Wuyan's, and he is a martial artist himself. He used all his strength, and Wen Wuyan couldn't break free at all.
"Hey, Brother Wuyan, there's no reason for us to return the things we bought. Don't worry about it." Zhao Bei, who was carrying a 50-kilogram sack, passed by Wen Wuyan and said proudly.
As a result, he was only able to take a breath of satisfaction when Zhao Dong kicked him on the butt again.
Zhao Bei staggered after being kicked, then stood up and glared at Zhao Dong, "Brother Dong, why did you kick me again?"
"What are you talking about? This is your brother Wuyan's home. If he doesn't care, who will?" Zhao Donghu said.
"That's not what I meant. I just want Brother Wuyan to stop stopping us from moving food home." Zhao Bei was kicked and looked a little unconvinced.
Gu Qingqing, who came out, learned the general situation and walked over with a smile, but she just stood aside and said, "Brother Dong, you and Wuyan are brothers, and you have done a lot of housework. Why bother?"
Seeing Gu Qingqing coming over, Zhao Dong let go of Wen Wuyan. He smiled and said to Gu Qingqing, "Boss, this is a little gift from us."
"Then you are not allowed to do that anymore in the future." Gu Qingqing said this as if she accepted the food they bought.
Hey, Gu Qingqing thought to himself, although they have made a lot of money during this period, it is all hard-earned money. They have been working in the mountains with the villagers day and night, and some of them have been going back and forth from the town from dawn to dusk. These two hundred kilograms of food must have cost them more than two taels of silver.
On the other side, Wen Wuyan saw Qingqing recovering, so he hurried over and told her what Manager Shen had said in the afternoon.
"There is such a thing? Have you told Uncle Wu?" Gu Qingqing turned around and asked him after learning that the county magistrate was coming.
"Not yet. I wanted to hear your opinion, but you fell asleep when I got back, and I didn't have the heart to disturb you. Besides, Manager Shen also said that we can just do the same thing the day after tomorrow as usual, and there's no need to do anything deliberately." Wen Wuyan said.
Gu Qingqing shook her head after hearing this. It's like the boss tells you to do whatever you want, do you really dare to do so?
"You have to talk to the village chief about this, and let him take care of the rest. Also, tell him to let Li Yu stay with him the day after tomorrow. As for Uncle Zhang He, you have to tell him to come directly to our house the day after tomorrow."
It is impossible for the county magistrate not to say a few words to the villagers when he arrives, so his people must have more opportunities to show up.
Wen Wuyan went to the village that day. He didn't know whether Wu Shan fell asleep that night. After he and the child counted the things sent by the Shen Mansion, he and Qingqing slept soundly.
