Husband and Father Youwei

Chapter 94 Yulin Hall

    Su Bai still expected to deal with the Jiang family together with Ruan Tang and the others, and he also had a good impression of Tu Lin and Ruan Tang, so he naturally told Ruan Tang everything he knew.

The first is face cream and lip balm. If there are only two kinds, there are too few, and it is impossible to support a store. More types must be developed. Furthermore, the cream box and lip balm tube also need to be more exquisitely designed. It can no longer be like the soap, which is sold in a package of oiled paper casually, which seems very inferior.

After all, according to what Ruan Tang said, the main raw material of this cream and lip balm, glycerin, is not easy to get. It is not as easy as making soap and the quantity is large. Naturally, it cannot be sold at a low price like soap.

Finally, it must not be sold in a charcoal shop. It is best to buy a new shop and decorate it well. Only in this way can young masters and ladies from rich families come to buy it.

As for what Su Bai said, the latter two are easy to say, as long as you have money, you can do it, and what Ruan Tang and the others are most lacking now is money, but as for the development of more types of face creams and lipsticks, this is what makes Ruan Tang was a little embarrassed.

Although he and Tu Lin had made several kinds of soaps before, but because they didn't know anything about powders and pigments, they went directly to the rouge shop to buy various finished spices and mixed them in, including the current soap. As for the lipstick, he bought the lip balm directly and added it to make the red color. It is so trouble-free, easy and safe.

Originally, when Su Bai first said that he wanted to make more varieties, Ruan Tang also planned to do so, but after Su Bai heard it, he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say at all, Ruan Tang It was also a little embarrassing to be seen by him.

In the end, Su Bai didn't say anything more about Ruan Tang, he just took out a pen and paper from the table beside him, and started to write. Ruan Tang watched from the side, and found that Su Bai wrote the names of various medicinal materials and flowers, and behind each medicinal material and flower, there was also written quantity, price, and the address of sale.

Su Bai wrote several pieces of paper in a row, and when he finished writing them all, he gave the few pieces of paper to Ruan Tang, saying, "According to what is written on it, go buy it.

" Professionals, at least more professional than themselves, hold those papers as if they were treasures, and immediately said: "I'll let Yuan Rui go and buy them all." After saying that, he walked out of the room quickly, and went to the bedroom to get them. After getting the money, he went to the front yard to find Yuan Rui who was helping Tu Lin and Wang Fu make soap.

When Ruan Tang gave Yuan Ruiyin Liang and the list of things to buy and instructed him, although Tu Lin was a little puzzled, he didn't say anything. After Yuan Rui took the things and left, he asked Ruan Tang about it. Ruan Tang told Tu Lin all about Su Bai's thoughts, and Tu Lin felt that what Su Bai said was not unreasonable, so he didn't say anything else, but expressed his full support to Ruan Tang and asked him and Su Bai to let go Do.

So, after Yuan Rui came back with a cart full of things, Ruan Tang and Su Bai plunged into the R&D room and got busy. Although with Su Bai's help, Ruan Tang couldn't push everything to Su Bai, so he went along with Su Bai.

At the beginning, Ruan Tang didn't understand anything, which two kinds of medicinal materials are mutually exclusive, which two kinds are compatible, should flowers and plants be mashed into juice, or dried and ground into powder? So it was all for Su Bai. After following Su Bai and learning by doing, after knowing a little, I can do more, and sometimes I can make some suggestions and discuss with Su Bai.

Ruan Tang and Su Bai began to study very seriously and focused, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Several times, they didn't see anyone at meal time, so Tu Lin had to go to the research and development room to call them out. come out. Later, in order to make Ruan Tang more relaxed, he also took over the accounting records and other things that Ruan Tang was originally in charge of.

The villager Tu Lin who was previously employed by the village to raise livestock instead of Yuan Rui did not quit, and Yuan Rui took over Liu Bao to help Wang Fu make soap, so Tu Lin came to take care of household chores and cook. Nearly ten days passed like this, and then Tu Lin discovered without any surprise that the soap business in the shop suddenly dropped a lot.

Ten days is enough time for the Jiang family and the competitors who bought the soap recipe to take action. Now this soap is not the only one in his family, and the other two are more powerful than his family, so the business is bad. It is normal.

It just so happens that Ruan Tang and Su Bai's research and development have achieved results, and they can start mass production, so more glycerin is needed. So Tu Lin directly asked Yuan Rui and Liu Bao to halve the production of soap, and then began to extract glycerin by salting out the soap liquid. As for the soap liquid that has been decomposed to remove glycerin, there is no need to waste it, and it can also be made into soap .

It's just that this kind of soap without glycerin is no longer milky white, but somewhat translucent yellow, and it will cause dry skin due to long-term use, and it cannot be used to wash hands and face, but it is still possible to wash clothes or other things , You can also pick up and sell.

When Ruan Tang and Su Bai started to produce face creams and lipsticks in large quantities, Tu Lin was not idle. He went to the county town and bought a shop facing the most prosperous commercial street in the county town. Bai means to redecorate it again. At the same time, he also took the shapes of various cream boxes and lipstick tubes that Su Bai asked Yuan Rui to draw according to his own ideas, and went to carpenters and porcelain kilns to customize a lot.

After half a month passed like this, on an extremely sunny day, Tu Lin's new shop opened, and the shop had a nice name, Yulin Hall. Among them, the characters "Lin" and "Tang" naturally come from the names of Tu Lin and Ruan Tang, while the character "Yu" comes from the name of the face cream mainly sold in the store.

Originally, Ruan Tang didn't choose any special name for Mian Cream, and planned to call it Mian Cream directly, but Su Bai said it was too straightforward, so he gave it a very elegant name, Yu Rong Gao. Ruan Tang felt that it sounded better than face cream, so he called it that way.

On the day of the opening, some families who have good friends with the Tu family also came to the shop to congratulate and join them, not to mention Tu Xinmei's family, and the shopkeeper of the general store who sold caustic soda to Tu Lin and the others, Huang Yuan from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, and The other two escort heads, and then Zhou Yan and Bai Butler.

Among them, Shi Lixiang from Tu Xinmei's family is now a very famous restaurant in Fengyang City. It can be said that everyone knows it, and the Weiyuan Escort Bureau is even more famous. There are many people in Langzhou.

Although Zhou Yan himself has no great attainments in officialdom or learning, and is only in charge of taking care of vulgar things in the Zhou family, he is very easy-going and cheerful. He has contacts with people from all walks of life, and he is also an extremely capable person. Everyone in Fengyang They all respectfully called Lord Wednesday.

With their presence, it undoubtedly added a lot of weight to Tu Lin and his shop, letting people know that although his Tu family is a small family in the countryside, it is not without foundation in the county. In the future, if someone is jealous of their business and wants to deal with them, they will be more taboo and will not do so easily. The role of the so-called network is here.

On that day, if the shop wants to operate for a long time, it ultimately depends on the quality of the products. Fortunately, the hard work of Su Bai and Ruan Tang for more than half a month was not in vain. Whether it is Yurong Balm or lipstick, they are very popular Welcome, the new shop has once again reproduced the situation when it first started selling soap, and it was sold out before closing time.

Not enough. In order to ensure the stable and sustainable development of the shop, neither Ruan Tang nor Su Bai planned to increase the sales volume. They still sold according to the original quota, and occasionally launched new products during the period, so that the business of the shop has always been very hot.

At the time of settlement at the end of the month, although there was a lot of investment in the early stage, the profit in just one month was much higher than that in the two consecutive months when the soap was sold. While Tu Lin and Ruan Tang were happy, they also understood that this was actually all due to Su Bai. Without his suggestions and his dedicated help, the shop would not be so prosperous.

So neither of them had any objection and decided at the same time to donate half of the shares of the shop to Su Bai, including half of the profits. It's just the money, he also needs some in his hand, he can't keep Ruan Tang and the others asking for money, but Su Bai refuses to accept the shares no matter what. He helped Tu Lin and the others because he just wanted to cooperate with the Tu family to deal with the Jiang family, not to mention that now he still had to rely on the Tu family for protection, but the Tu family didn't owe them anything.

Su Bai is also an extremely stubborn person, Tu Lin and Ruan Tang had no choice but to give up in the end. Fortunately, Su Bai still took the money, and in the future, he would pay dividends on a monthly basis, so it made no difference whether he took the shares or not.

It was early winter when Yulin Hall opened, and two months later, it was the twelfth lunar month, and it was time to start preparing for the New Year. Although the soap business in the charcoal shop has decreased a lot, the opening of Yulintang has made up for a lot of losses, and it has made Tu Lin and the others earn much more than before. In addition to the good income of the shop, there was another thing that added a lot of joy to Tu Lin's year.

Ever since Su Bai sold the soap recipe to a rival of the Jiang family, Tu Lin has been secretly following the news of the Jiang family. According to Su Bai's understanding of the Jiang family, after the Jiang family got the soap prescription, they should start to buy caustic soda and other materials wantonly, and hoard soap, and sell it in shops across the country at the same time, so as to occupy all the business. city.

But Su Bai sent his competitor news about Soap Fangzi and the Jiang family, so the competitor secretly planned to start selling soap one step ahead of the Jiang family, which caused the Jiang family to lose the opportunity and suffered a lot of criticism. loss. In this way, the Jiang family would naturally not let it go, and naturally wanted to get it back, so they fought openly and secretly with that competitor.

Although the Jiang family is an imperial merchant, it has only been around for a few years, and its foundation is not deep. Although its competitor is just an ordinary merchant, it has been in business for several generations. It is not inferior to the Jiang family, otherwise Su Bai would not have chosen this family. In the past few months of fighting against each other, although the Jiang family has suffered a lot from the local area, they have also suffered a lot of blows and targets. It can be said that both sides have suffered.

However, the competitor's family has a strong family background, so they can bear it, but the Jiang family is different. According to Su Bai, they are just upstarts, although doing business with the royal family is very profitable, but it also costs a lot to manage up and down, so they are not as rich as the other party, which hurts their vitality.
