Chapter 43: Greedy Shopkeeper Fu
The delivery day arrived as scheduled, and Liu Siyu placed 20 newly made boxes of hand cream in front of Shopkeeper Fu.
Manager Fu was quite surprised. She had been sending people to watch the entrance to the town these days.
I didn't notice Liu Siyu coming to buy medicine, but there was clearly a medicinal scent in the moisturizing cream.
What part went wrong?
Shopkeeper Fu looked depressed.
Liu Siyu noticed the change in Shopkeeper Fu's expression and knew that the old fox's plan had failed, and he was depressed.
He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Fu, what's wrong with you? Is the moisturizing cream not selling well?"
Shopkeeper Fu came to his senses immediately, a smile appearing on his round face.
"It's not easy to sell. We have just started the business, so it takes time."
Liu Siyu blinked her eyes and said, "It's not easy to sell, but you are still coveting my secret recipe. You are trying to fool a three-year-old child."
I pretended to be considerate and understanding, "Then I will only send 10 boxes next time."
"That's not necessary," Shopkeeper Fu immediately refused.
Only 10 boxes were sent, that was a joke, she just said that casually, after the first 9 boxes were sent out, we quickly received very good feedback.
Many people have paid deposits, and yesterday, Manager He came in person and asked her to figure out the formula as soon as possible.
But that girl has a background, so it is unrealistic to rob her openly, so he can only work on the formula secretly.
But before they get the formula, Liu Siyu must increase the supply.
Thinking of this, his smile became even wider. "Just do it. You don't have to worry about the sales. Our contract is clearly written and we each have our own responsibilities."
Then he took out another 60 porcelain bottles and said, "Take these first, and make as many as you can."
Liu Siyu looked at the 60 porcelain bottles and secretly curled her lips in her heart, are you so impatient?
In the past, he knew how to disguise himself and give people a kind impression, but now his greedy face is exposed.
Liu Siyu deliberately put on an embarrassed expression.
"It takes a lot of effort to make the moisturizing cream. After going through all the procedures, I can only deliver 10 bottles in 30 days."
It's not that she doesn't want to make more money, it's just that these people are too greedy. If they knew that the moisturizing cream was so easy to get, they might just rob them.
Who is afraid of who in acting?
Shopkeeper Fu had no idea what Liu Siyu was thinking. Seeing her embarrassed expression, he thought that moisturizing cream was indeed difficult to make. Otherwise, it would not make sense for a country girl to leave such huge sum of money unearthed.
"Okay, then we'll agree to deliver 10 bottles every 30 days."
Liu Siyu got 20 taels of silver and decided to stroll around the town. As soon as he left Chaxiangji, he found someone was following him.
He sneered, thinking that Liu Siyu was a vegetarian. You have your own plan, and I have mine.
Do you think you can get the secret recipe by sending two guys?
Since you want to follow, let me let you follow slowly.
Liu Siyu pretended to be ignorant and walked around the town. She went to the place where she bought cloth last time and bought three more pieces of cloth, one brown one for Wang Shi and one dark blue one for Liu Sihan.
She also chose a piece of blue with white flowers to wear next spring. She didn't know how to sew, so she could only ask Wang to help her make a few sets of clothes before she got married.
Thinking that the New Year is coming soon, I bought two kilograms of white sugar and three kilograms of brown sugar.
The person who was following took a look around and was surprised to see that Liu Siyu never went to the pharmacy.
The shopkeeper clearly said that the girl would definitely go to the drugstore, and asked them to follow her carefully, and after the girl left, ask the drugstore what medicine she bought.
The result was again empty-handed.
Tea fragrance notes.
After listening to the two young men's reports, Shopkeeper Fu snorted coldly, "What a cunning girl, but you are still a little immature to play tricks in front of me."
She once showed the hand cream to the doctor to smell and confirmed that it contained angelica and safflower.
As long as someone buys these two medicines in large quantities, she can follow the clues to contact the person who bought the medicines, and perhaps she can find out the secret recipe of the hand ointment without much effort.
Then he said to a confidant, "Tell the people who are following us to withdraw. Go to the pharmacy, hire a little medicine boy, and have him watch the people who buy medicine recently to see if anyone buys any strange medicine, especially those who buy angelica and safflower alone."
The clerk responded and did it immediately.
She must get the formula of the moisturizing cream.
She can easily earn a few taels of silver from a bottle of moisturizing cream, and the speed at which she makes money is no worse than that of her restaurant.
If you master the recipe, you can earn more every month, and it can also be passed down from generation to generation as an exclusive secret recipe.
Ever since Shopkeeper Fu experienced the benefits of the moisturizing cream, his greed has been out of control.
I selfishly thought in my heart that such a good thing should be in the hands of more powerful people. Liu Siyu, a country girl, was not worthy of possessing such a secret recipe.
Liu Siyu, who was being remembered by others, also looked depressed. She worked hard for a long time, but just got a little hard work pay, and yet someone was remembering her like this.
It's really not easy to do business without any background or backing.
I was thinking about whether I should go to Qinghe County after the New Year to look for new business opportunities.
Cooperation with a greedy person like Manager Fu can only be short-lived.
When I returned home, thinking about my worries, the man from Xinghua Village who came to propose marriage had already arrived.
It was still Matchmaker Liu who brought the young wife named Ximei, but this time Lai Xi came with her.
On the table was a betrothal gift of one or two taels of silver, a portion of rice and ash flour, but the quantities were not much, only a few pounds, as well as a piece of pork belly and a jar of wine.
Liu Siyu knew that the Tian family was in financial difficulty, but such a betrothal gift was probably the most modest in the entire Yingshan Village.
But she only sighed for a moment. After all, their marriage was a contractual marriage, so it didn't matter to her whether it was more or less.
Seeing Liu Siyu coming back, Matchmaker Liu smiled and waved her handkerchief.
"Is the eldest girl back from the market?"
Liu Siyu nodded, "Yes, I'm getting married after the New Year, so I have to prepare some dowry."
Wang's hands and feet trembled. This girl really didn't have the slightest sense of shyness. She was not shy in front of her husband's family. She glared at Liu Siyu in reproach, "You girl."
He took the pieces of cloth from Liu Siyu's hands.
Liu Siyu smiled indifferently. She was just speaking the truth.
Then he handed the candy wrapped in oil paper to Liu Sihan and said, "Take this to the kitchen."
Liu Sihan took the oil paper bag curiously, but it was not appropriate to ask in front of everyone, so she quickly went to the kitchen to check.
Matchmaker Liu was also stunned for a moment. It was the first time she saw a girl being so direct.
When the little girls she acted as matchmakers heard that their husband's family was coming to propose marriage, they all hid away shyly.
Even if there are some brave ones, at most they can just take a peek through the crack in the door.
No one would admit openly to preparing a dowry like Liu Siyu did.
He smiled and said, "It's time to get ready."
As Matchmaker Liu spoke, she glanced at Lai Xi and muttered to herself, "This boy is weird, that girl is weird too, these two are really a match made in heaven."
There was a strange look in Lai Xi's eyes, and he was very surprised.
He had heard a lot about Liu Siyu's family situation, which was slightly better than his own.
But through these few contacts, I feel that those rumors are not true.
Last time I asked him to help buy medicine, he spent six taels of silver, which is not something an ordinary family can afford.
Now I saw her holding three pieces of cloth and something wrapped in oil paper in her hands, which were either cakes or candies, and these things were not cheap.
My curiosity about Liu Siyu grew stronger and stronger.
