Husband and Father Youwei

Chapter 69 Tu's Father Comes to His Door

    Because the soap has already been sold out, but there are still people who heard the news from other places and came to see the freshness, or people who want to buy it to try, so that Tu Lin or the shop assistants were overwhelmed, and finally had no choice but to close the shop. closed.

Let the guy go home early, but Tu Lin and Ruan Tang didn't go home either. After counting all the money he got from selling soap that day, Tu Lin put the big man with the money on a mule cart and went to a bank in the county seat.

The price of soap is not expensive, the more expensive soap is only 30 yuan a piece, and the ordinary soap is only 12 yuan. Therefore, although there are some scraps of silver in the money earned, most of them are copper plates, more than 3,000 pieces .

Tu Lin planned to go to the silver shop to exchange these copper plates for silver. After the silver was exchanged, he made a big purchase. He bought almost half a carload of fat pork and suet, and then went back to the shop to pick up Ruan Tang and go home together. .

The stock has been sold out today, and there will be a lot of people waiting to buy it tomorrow, so as soon as he got home, Tu Lin only entered the house, had a sip of tea, sat down for a while, and then started making soap, until he should eat it in the evening at dinner time.

However, the amount of work done in half a day can't be compared with the previous three days, so after dinner, Tu Lin didn't bother to pester Ruan Tang, and went into the firewood room with the lights on, continuing to get busy. Just one night. Fortunately, the results are gratifying. In the end, he made nearly two hundred pieces of soap in total. However, due to the limited time, I only made three kinds of soaps, white soap, orange soap and jasmine soap, which were sold out yesterday among the six kinds of soaps.

Tu Lin originally thought that a lot of soap had been sold on the first day, and Fengyang County is not a big county, so the sales on the second day should be a little less than yesterday, so more than two hundred yuan is about the same Enough to supply.

But when the nearly 200 pieces of soap were put on the counter the next day and sold out in less than two hours, Tu Lin knew he was wrong. Although the number of ordinary people who came to buy soap in the store today was a little less than yesterday, but like the middle-aged man yesterday, there were quite a few who bought it for a dozen or so at once, and there was actually a Tu Lin among them. The person who is very familiar with Ruan Tang is the housekeeper Bai of the Zhou family.

Butler Bai learned about soap from a servant of the Zhou family yesterday, and tried it himself with the soap that the servant bought to curry favor with him. Purchased the last batch for Fuchu to use. After reporting to Madam Zhou and getting permission, he followed the servants who bought the soap to the soap shop, but he didn't expect to come one step too late, the soap was sold out, and he didn't expect It was the soap seller who turned out to be an old acquaintance Tu Lin, and he couldn't help being surprised.

When Butler Bai came, there weren't many customers in the store, and only the clerk Shuisheng could handle it, so Tu Lin handed it over to him, and he talked to Butler Bai himself. After the first lunar month, the charcoal business of the two families ended, and after Tu Lin left for another three months, he almost lost contact with the Zhou family.

Tu Lin greeted Butler Bai, and of course he did not forget to greet Zhou Yan's family. Butler Bai also asked him that everything was well at home. When he learned that Ruan Tang was pregnant, he even congratulated Tu Lin, and then he talked about him. The purpose of today's visit is about soap. Of course, although he was curious in his heart, Butler Bai didn't inquire into how Tu Lin got the soap, but kept praising Tu Lin.

But Tu Lin felt a little ashamed and dare not accept it. After all, it was Ruan Tang who discovered the method of making soap from the computer, and he was the real hero, but he couldn't tell the truth. I found out in the middle of the day, and after several attempts, I finally got the soap I have today.

Butler Bai was naturally even more amazed, and praised Ruan Tang endlessly. Tu Lin was not humble this time, and smiled for Ruan Tang.

Butler Bai came here to buy soap, and didn't want to be late, so he had to go back empty-handed. But fortunately, Tu Lin has agreed to him, and tomorrow he will set aside the amount he needs in advance, so that he can come and pick it up at any time, so that Butler Bai can also have an explanation to his master.

After sending Butler Bai away, Tu Lin also planned to go home, and was busy making soap for tomorrow. As for today, although the soap is sold out early again, Tu Lin has mentioned that he has prepared a sign saying 'No Soap' and hung it at the door of the shop, so that customers who come to buy soap will not enter the store again when they see the sign Here, there is no early closing.

Soap was so popular that the supply was in short supply, so in the next few days, Tu Lin also temporarily stopped other workers. He spent ten of the twelve hours making soap, and the remaining two hours In addition to half an hour to deal with housework, there is only one and a half hours to rest.

Tu Lin himself doesn't think so. Although he sleeps less now than before, he eats well every day and is not tired. It is much easier than when he marched hundreds of miles at every turn in his previous life, but Ruan Tang can't see it. He looked so busy and toiled every day, so he proposed to hire people to make soap like burning charcoal.

It's just that Tu Lin didn't rely on Ruan Tang this time. Soap is different from charcoal. It's lucrative. It's a good idea to let it out.

Although the people in the village are familiar with each other and are honest and honest, how many people can guarantee that they will not be tempted by the huge benefits? So even if Tu Lin wants to find someone else to do it in the future, he would rather spend more money to buy people than hire people.

Although buying and selling people is not in line with the education Tu Lin received in the previous world, it is normal here, and he has no idea of ​​challenging the entire social system, and the laws in all aspects here are far less sound than those in the previous life, so the only way to spend money The person who bought it can only use it with confidence if he holds the deed.

However, Tu Lin also knew that Ruan Tang felt sorry for him. In fact, he didn't want to stay up all night making soap, and he didn't have time to accompany Ruan Tang, so he also thought of a solution, not hiring or buying people, but Use the family mule.

I bought that mule before for the convenience of transporting charcoal, but now that charcoal is in the off-season, a cart of charcoal can be sold for ten days and half a month when it is delivered to the shop, so this mule mostly stays at home, but is often taken by the village. People lend out.

Tu Lin's method was to accidentally see the picture of the tofu seller in the village using his donkey to push stones to grind beans, and then suddenly remembered that he could use his family's mule to do the mixing instead of himself. Soap, so that he can save a lot and make more soap at the same time.

Ruan Tang naturally felt very good about Tu Lin's proposal, and had no objections. So immediately Tu Lin drew a picture according to the size of the blender, and without looking for any carpenter, he went to the tofu seller to observe their stone mill and donkey case, and then went home and found A few suitable sticks, and some cuts of rope, made at last an apparatus for linking the stirrer to the mule.

After it was done, Tu Lin took the mule into the woodshed for a test. Although the firewood room is not big, Tu Lin has already put all the firewood and sundries in it into the west compartment, so the mule can turn around in it at this time. OK.

With the help of mules to do the most important and laborious stirring work, Tu Lin really saved a lot of time and energy, and then he spent all of this time and energy on Ruan Tang. As a result, Ruan Tang originally wanted Tu Lin to rest early every day, but in the end he couldn't rest early even if he wanted to, so that he didn't know what to say.

As time went by, although people in Fengyang County gradually calmed down their enthusiasm for soap, Tu Lin and his soap business was still booming. Under the ferment of time, the appearance of soap, a novelty, was spread further and further. Apart from ordinary people, it attracted many businessmen from other places to order in large quantities.

In this regard, although the pork was boiled every day until the smell of meat made him want to vomit, Tu Lin still welcomes those who send money to his family. It's just that apart from these people, he doesn't welcome other people who are attracted by the appearance of soap, such as those who want to buy his soap recipes, or butchers who come to ask him for money.

Regarding the former, Tu Lin only said that he would not sell it, but the unwilling look on the man's face when he walked away made Tu Lin uncontrollably wary, so he asked someone to find out about the man's background. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. But if you know who the thieves are, you can prepare countermeasures in advance, so that you will not be caught off guard when they attack.

As for Father Tu, Tu Lin had somewhat guessed his intention, but when Father Tu really said it, he still found it a little funny.

Father Tu came to see Tu Lin this time, and his attitude was very kind. He didn't mention the matter of Tu Lin's refusal to enter the house during the Chinese New Year. After that, he was even more happy, his eyes were a little red, and he touched his whole body, and finally took out six coins from the sole of his shoe, and wanted to give it to Ruan Tang.

Ruan Tang's expression was normal, and he thanked Tu Fu. Under Tu Fu's reluctant eyes, he was about to accept the money Tu Fu gave him. But Tu Lin pushed Tu Fu's hand back without letting Ruan Tang take it.

The copper plate was put in the sole of the shoe, it was smelly and dirty, Father Tu thought it would pollute the air in the house when he took it out, so how could Ruan Tang, who is still pregnant at the moment, touch it. After a few polite words, he asked Father Tu to take it back.

But Father Tu didn't insist, and happily took the money back, saying that he was not prepared enough today and that he would give Ruan Tang a big red envelope when he gave birth. Tu Lin and Ruan Tang didn't believe this at all, unless it was the day when Mrs. Li disappeared.

Afterwards, Father Tu talked about the soap just as Tu Lin expected. Tu Lin's shop is open and upright, and it is next to Tu Xinmei's Shilixiang. People nearby know that they are siblings. Not to mention that although Lijiagou is less crowded and far away, people occasionally go to the county town, even if Tu Wendong is not. Are you still in the county? So Tu Lin was not surprised that Father Tu would know that he was selling soap.

So when Tu Fu mentioned it, he responded with a calm expression, and Xu said that the "friendly face" of Tu Lin's visit today gave Tu Fu some illusions, and Tu Fu quickly stated the real purpose of his trip: " ... Boss, you still have the ability to make that kind of soap, but you made a lot of money, right? And Ruan Tang also has a child now. Seeing that your life is getting better and better, Dad can finally feel relieved , it's just your second brother, alas..."

Having said this, Father Tu paused for a moment, glanced at Tu Lin, saw Tu Lin holding a teacup to drink water indifferently, didn't even look at himself, didn't say anything, and didn't say anything. The meaning of answering the words was a little vague in his mind for a while, but he finally continued, saying: "Boss, Dad knows that the second brother is sorry for you, but you and the second brother are brothers after all, it only depends on the two who grew up together. Love, let him do wrong things, you scolded and beat him, why bother to ruin his future?" At

this moment, Tu Lin finally looked up at Tu Fu, and said, "What's wrong with Tu Wendong?"

" Don't you know what you're doing?" Father Tu looked at Tu Lin with reproachful eyes, sighed, and said, "You found someone to beat him so hard that he lay on the bed for three For many months, I even missed the children's test a few days ago. Your second brother's father-in-law, Mrs. Wen, also said that your second brother will definitely be selected as a scholar this time, but it turned out because of you... oh..." He asked someone to beat

him Tu Wendong? Tu Lin thought about it, it seems that there is such a thing, that is, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, he met Tu Wendong by chance, and he didn't want Tu Wendong to provoke trouble, and wanted to use the people in the escort agency to teach him a lesson. At that time, he found a few beggars, gave them money and told them The address of Tu Wendong's home, let those beggars help themselves to 'educate' Tu Wendong.

But it was just a beating, and Tu Wendong missed the Tongshi trial. This unexpected joy was something that Tu Lin didn't expect, but he was very happy to see it.Because the soap has already been sold out, but there are still people who heard the news from other places and came to see the freshness, or people who want to buy it to try, so that Tu Lin or the shop assistants were overwhelmed, and finally had no choice but to close the shop. closed.
