Chapter 243
At the same time, Adie Cheng found out that Liang’s cosmetic powder shop in Jiangning County used his cousin’s face powder. These high-quality powders have always been the main business method for Liang’s cosmetic powder shop to maintain regular customers.
This is a little troublesome. If he takes action in his cousin's incense powder industry, the Liang family's business will definitely be affected, because the relationship between Apa Cheng and the master of the Liang family is not bad, and Apa Cheng decided to use it to find out. to discuss with Cheng Fulang.
Cheng Fulang is different from Father Cheng, he has always disliked the Liang family, Mr. Liang spends his days trying to exploit, Liang Fulang shows off extravagantly, and Liang Ming is too capricious in doing things.
However, he didn't deliberately punish the Liang family because he didn't like them, and there was no need to make the relationship with the Liang family stiff because of his cousin.
Everyone in the business circle keeps in touch with each other, and whoever intercepts someone else's transaction can find out after checking. Cheng Fulang was also a little uncertain for a while.
After Lin Xiazhi went out to buy a store, he didn't go out for a long time. Cheng Fulang would say a few words when he thought about it, and when Lin Xiazhi heard that it was related to the Liang family, he fell in love.
"Ah, why does what you and father said have something to do with the Liang family?" Lin Xiazhi asked curiously, without showing any dissatisfaction with the Liang family.
Cheng Fulang only thought that Lin Xiazhi was curious, and there was no need to hide this kind of thing between the family. He told what Father Cheng had found out and the concerns of the two of them.
"Where are you going to sell these powders?" Lin Xiazhi asked.
"He said to sell it to the northwest. The Xiliang Kingdom over there likes our Jingguo's incense powder very much. In Xiliang Kingdom, only the royal palace and nobles can use the incense powder. If you transport the incense powder there, you will not worry about selling it there." Cheng Fulang answer.
Lin Xiazhi felt that the petty friction between him and Liang Ming hadn't sublimated to the point where he should take the initiative to deal with the Liang family, so he was a little puzzled and asked, "Why can't the bought incense powder be sold to Uncle Wutang's customers again, similar to the Liang family? Such?"
"We can only compare the price with Fifth Brother and others. After all, incense powder is not an industry that our family wants to do, but it is Fifth Brother's main industry. He will definitely find a way to buy it from other channels. The incense powder, but the price of the incense powder in his hand should be more expensive, and it will not be available so quickly."
"Uncle Wutang's cost of buying incense powder has risen, and he can't supply it to the wholesale merchants in time, which will naturally make the merchants dissatisfied." Lin Xiazhi seemed to understand.
Cheng Fulang nodded: "Yes, if we sell the incense powder we got to Fifth Brother's merchants at this time, those merchants will not be dissatisfied with not being able to buy the incense powder. Anyway, as long as someone can provide the incense powder. Think about it, The long-term cooperation between them already has a foundation. At this time, if the fifth brother sells his newly bought incense powder at a lower price, and directly snatches those wholesalers back to him, he will have nothing but to lose some money. Nothing else."
"It's impossible for us to compete with Uncle Wutang for the incense powder for a long time, so you are actually planning to cut off the source of Uncle Wutang's incense powder at one time, so that he can't get the incense powder, and then buy the incense powder from him The bulk sellers can’t buy the powder and look for new sources. In this way, if we don’t rob Wutangshu’s source of powder, his business will still be cut off, and it will not be so easy to restore it to the way it was before. Only then did Lin Xiazhi understand the key point.
He is really not a business mind, he can't beat these old foxes and little foxes, so let's honestly come up with some new things to guide the fashion trend.
Seeing that Lin Xiazhi understood, Cheng Fulang sighed: "If the Liang family can't buy the powder in a short time, they will definitely investigate the reason. If they know that we made it and haven't sold the powder to them, your father It's not easy to handle."
"Ah, the function of the fragrance powder is to make everyone feel good? Is there anything else that can replace the fragrance powder?" Lin Xiazhi asked an irrelevant question.
"Eh——" Cheng Fulang paused, "In addition to face powder, there are balms. Balm is more difficult to make than face powder, and it is expensive. Generally, only large face powder shops have it. For example, in our Jiangning County, there is only Jinzhuanglou You can buy it here."
"Okay, I get it now."
The Lin family used to not be able to use face powder, and members of the Cheng family didn't like to use face powder. Lin Xiazhi didn't know much about face powder and balm.
His first reaction to the fragrance was actually perfume, but the production process of perfume is complicated, it is estimated that it will be rarer than balm after making it, and it will not help Cheng Fulang and his troubles, so it is better not to mention it.
There is another very vague idea in his mind, but this idea is like a layer of window paper, it is always unclear, and he can't figure out what it is all at once.
Since Apa Cheng and Cheng Fulang continued to struggle with this matter since they couldn't help, Lin Xiazhi didn't mention Liang Ming's wanting to get close to Cheng Wenliu, but he made Lin Xiazhi stingy by deliberately bringing it up.
When Lin Xiazhi was thinking about that vague idea while designing the snack shop in the tea house, Lin Xiaoqiu ran to Cheng's house and said that something happened in Linjia Village, and there was a commotion at the Doufang.
The Doufang was proposed by Lin Xiazhi, who put a lot of effort into the construction of the Doufang. He heard Lin Xiaoqiu say that something happened to the Doufang, but he didn't even ask clearly, so he hurriedly took Lin Xiaodong back to the Doufang to have a look.
Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Xiaoqiu what happened to Doufang when they were all on the road.
"Before, Manager Lin Chengyun was found to be pregnant, and the village has been arguing endlessly because of him. Today, Manager Lin Chengyun almost fell down when he was working in the bean workshop. Some people in the village said that a pregnant woman is not suitable for working in the workshop because of this. What's more, he suggested that brother should not work in the workshop." When Lin Xiaoqiu said this, the expression on his face was very angry, "It is said that Fu Lang is pregnant and needs to rest at home and cannot come out to work. In fact, Fu Lang in our village After pregnancy, a few of them can rest well, and harvest crops as if they are busy in the field, which is more tiring than working in a bean farm."
Lin Xiaoqiu has worked with Lin Xiazhi for several years, and some mentality has also been influenced by Lin Xiazhi, thinking that it is not something that is not allowed for my brother to work outside.
Take their Lin's tofu shop as an example. Although the tofu and starch workshops are all run by men, the small workshop he manages that specializes in making food for Piaoxiang Shili is full of brothers. When doing work, he is no worse than a man.
Those who say that my brother can’t work outside must be those who look down on my brother. However, what makes Lin Xiaoqiu speechless is that not only some men think this way, but even many husbands who are older in grades also think this way. After the son gets married, he should take care of his husband and teach his son at home, and just do his job well.
"I really don't know what they think. Brother Fulang can't work in the workshop in his own village, so why don't he go out at all."
When Lin Xiaoqiu said this, Lin Xiazhi's face was serious. Obviously, Lin Chengyun's pregnancy was taken advantage of by others. These people may be people outside the workshop who are dissatisfied with the workshop's recruiting, or people in the workshop may have other ideas. If it is not resolved properly, it will be difficult to deal with it when the brothers or husbands of Doufang get pregnant in the future.
"How is brother Yun doing now?" Lin Xiazhi was a little worried. Miscarriage would cause great harm to my brother's body. If Lin Chengyun really dropped the child in the workshop, it would be troublesome.
"Lin Chengyun is fine. He didn't really fall, but his foot slipped. Someone helped him." Lin Xiaoqiu looked grateful, "Both adults and children are fine. Hu Langzhong went to check and said that Lin Chengyun was in charge. Her health is good, and she doesn’t need to take any birth control pills.”
"That's good." Lin Xiazhi heaved a sigh of relief, there is room for discussion when people have nothing to do.
"By the way, what's the attitude of Brother Yun's husband?" Lin Xiazhi remembered that Lin Chengyun's husband's family was reasonable, not that feudal and old-fashioned.
Lin Xiaoqiu said quite appreciatively: "Lin Chengyun's husband, who is in charge, supports him to continue working in Doufang. The whole family thinks it is a good thing to work in Doufang. I heard Hu Langzhong said that working in Doufang will not affect the children. won't stop him."
Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoqiu thought of some villagers who actually thought that Lin Chengyun's husband's family in charge wanted to harm Lin Chengyun on purpose, saying that they didn't care about Lin Chengyun and the child in his womb, and intended to provoke conflicts between Lin Chengyun's husband's family and the Mo family.
Riding a carriage all the way to Linjiacun, Lin Xiazhi went directly to the ancestral hall without even returning to the Lin family.
Before, everyone was arguing outside the Doufang, which seriously affected the merchants who came to the Linjiacun Doufang to get goods. Li Zheng saw that this was not possible, so he came forward and summoned all the villagers to the ancestral hall, so that the Doufang could operate normally.
Lin Xiazhi listened to Lin Xiaoqiu's explanation and said appreciatively: "You are still sensible, if the vendors who come to buy things see the conflicts in our village, it will definitely affect the business in the village."
When Lin Xiazhi came back home during the Chinese New Year before, he had heard Yang Yusheng talk about Lin Chengyun’s pregnancy. At that time, Lin Xiazhi had already considered the benefits of her husband’s work, one of which was the maternity leave system, and she hadn’t had time to mention Lin Chengyun to Li Zheng. Things got serious.
Lin Xiazhi got off the carriage near the ancestral hall, and then stood calmly outside the crowd to listen to everyone's discussion.
"Brother Yun was lucky today. Someone helped him when he almost fell. To put it bluntly, what if he encounters such a thing alone next time? Or what happens to other pregnant husbands? What will happen then? manage?"
"Is there something wrong with you, looking for trouble when you have nothing to do? Everyone is working hard in Doufang, why did you fall down inexplicably?"
"That's right, there are too many pregnant husbands in our village, as long as you are careful."
"I heard that there was water on the ground of Doufang this time, and Brother Yun happened to meet it."
"Speaking of which, the Doufang is cleaned up on weekdays, why is there suddenly a puddle of water on the ground?"
"Let's not talk about water. Everyone in Doufang wears soft-soled shoes. Even if they step into the water, they won't fall. There is something strange about Brother Yun."
