Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 507 I Want Zhao Qiaoniang to Serve Us Like a Dog

The two of them ran directly to the bookstore opposite and saw Bai Wanwan sitting inside drinking milk.

She looked at Lin Zaozao with a smile and said, "What a coincidence! I actually ran into you again?"

Lin Dasheng hugged Lin Zaozao and said, "Stay away from this evil star, lest you be contaminated by her bad luck."

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "Lin Dasheng, have you forgotten what happened yesterday? It's like you've forgotten the pain even after the wound has healed."

Lin Dasheng glared at her and said, "I'm not here to see you. Stay away from me. I'm here to see the owner of this bookstore."

Bai Wanwan shrugged and said, "Just find one..."

Lin Dasheng saw the shopkeeper and quickly walked over to him and said, "Shopkeeper, could you please take a look at this storybook? The bookstore across the street offered it to me for 100 taels. Would you mind buying it?"

Shopkeeper Liang flipped through the book twice and said, "100 taels! For a book of this quality, even one tael would be too much, let alone 100 taels."

Lin Dasheng looked at him and said, "Please take a closer look! This storybook is of good quality and it sold like hotcakes before."

Shopkeeper Liang waved his hands and said, "Get out of here right now. I said it's worthless, so it's worthless. Are you so shameless as to force me to buy or sell it?"

"What do you mean by 'forced buying and selling'? Your bookstore is so unscrupulous that it even charges me one ounce of silver."

Shopkeeper Liang said, "Pooh!" "You heard me wrong. I said it's not worth even a tael of silver. Get out of here!"

Lin Dasheng and Lin Zao Zao walked out angrily. Lin Dasheng said, "This shopkeeper is simply crazy. How could such a good book not be worth even a tael of silver?"

Lin Zao Zao turned around and saw Shopkeeper Liang standing there nodding and bowing. He said, "That man is probably Lin Wanwan's man, so he's naturally on her side. Second Uncle, let's go!"

Lin Dasheng looked at Lin Wanwan angrily and said, "Let's go. I don't believe that without her bookstore, we can't survive."

Lin Dasheng was so angry that he stamped his feet and threw the crumpled manuscript to the ground: "What kind of eyes do these people have! Why don't they accept what we worked so hard on writing?"

Lin Zao Zao squatted down and picked up the storybook, sighing softly: "Second Uncle, Bai Wanwan has taken all the limelight. It will be difficult for us to compete with her for food."

The two men squatted on the stone pillars on the side of the street, looking worriedly at the bustling street scene.

Lin Zao Zao was counting the money left at home with his fingers, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"Why don't we try opening a rouge shop? Women all love beauty.

Let's get some good rouge and powder, and find a skilled painter to print some pretty designs on the box."

Lin Dasheng scratched his head: "But I don't know how to mix rouge?"

Lin smiled early:

"That's not difficult! Isn't there an old pharmacy in the city?

The shopkeeper inside knows about spices and herbs. Let's go and learn how to match the colors, and then hire a few skilled women to teach them how to make it."

Lin Zaozao and Lin Dasheng rented a small shop at the entrance of an alley in the west of the city.

There are only two rooms in total, the goods are displayed outside and the inside is used as a workshop.

The wall paint had fallen off in some places, so the two spent several days applying a layer of white lime and hanging a piece of red silk at the door as a sign, with the three big characters "Qiao Zhuang Ge" written crookedly on it.

There were two rows of wooden shelves against the wall of the store, on which were neatly stacked rouge boxes and powder jars.

Rouge comes in several colors, including peach red, apricot red, and rose red. It is packaged in small porcelain bottles with flowers engraved on the lids.

The incense powder is white and packed in a patterned paper box. When you open it, you can smell a faint floral fragrance.

There was a small stove behind the counter, which was used to make rouge, and next to it were clay jars filled with flower petals and spices.

Although the place is not big, it is clean and bright, and you can smell a sweet fragrance from afar.

Lin Zao Zao stood behind the counter, rubbing his hands excitedly and asked, "Second Uncle, do you think our shop can succeed?"

Lin Dasheng scratched the back of his head, staring at the rouge box on the shelf and muttering, "I don't understand these things. As long as I can make money, it's a good business!"

Unexpectedly, several customers came on the first day of opening.

The lady boss of the silk shop next door was captivated by the pink rouge as soon as she entered the door. She touched the porcelain bottle and smacked her lips in amazement: "This color is so bright, completely different from what they sell outside!"

A few young ladies who came to join in the fun also gathered around. You picked out powder, I picked out rouge, and the chattering made the shop lively.

In fact, these rouge and powder were all made by Lin Zaozao according to her memories from her previous life.

At that time, she was the eldest lady of the Lin family. She had nothing to do in the backyard all day, so she loved to tinker with these bottles and jars.

Hearing that the owner of the old drugstore in the west of the city knew about medicinal materials, she shamelessly went there several times, learning how to identify spices and match flower petals. She broke many pots of soup before she figured out the current recipe.

Seeing the customers rushing to pay, Lin Zao Zao was very happy in his heart, thinking that all his efforts were not in vain!

Lin Dasheng spun around twice in his arms, his beard curling up with laughter. "Twenty taels! I never thought I could make so much money in a day!"

Lin Zao Zao was dizzy from the shaking. After finally standing steadily, he saw his second uncle suddenly spit: "Lin Wanwan, that little bitch! Every time I see her, something bad happens! This time, we must trample her under our feet!"

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "And that old bastard, Master Bai, didn't he just get lucky and become a second-rank official?"

He looked up and saw Zhao Qiaoniang trying on various gold and silver jewelry in the jewelry shop across the street. He felt very uncomfortable.

She was now wearing a moon-white satin skirt and a pearl hairpin in her hair. Her every move and gesture exuded the air of an official's wife.

Lin Zao Zao gently pulled his sleeve:

"Uncle, let's be patient for now. Once we have shops all over the capital, we'll have more money than we can spend.

Then we'll make those who look down on us beg for cooperation on their knees!"

There was a ruthless look in her eyes:

"Master Bai, Lin Wanwan, and Zhao Qiaoniang...

We must make them regret what they did today!"

Lin Dasheng looked at Zhao Qiaoniang across from him and said, "Yes, I want Zhao Qiaoniang to serve us like a dog."

Lin Zaozao smiled slightly and said, "And Lin Wanwan, I've disliked her for a long time."

Bai Wanwan naturally saw Lin Dasheng and Lin Zaozao. She whispered to Bai Qiaoniang, "Mom, across the street is the rouge shop opened by Lin Zaozao. Do you want to go take a look?"

Bai Qiaoniang sneered, "What kind of rouge can they make?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and said, "Mom, let's go take a look! I'm also very curious. I also want to know what Lin Zao Zao is tinkering with."

Bai Wanwan is very vengeful and she will never let the Lin family have an easy time. Since Lin was able to open a rouge shop early on, she can do it too.

Anyway, she will open whatever Lin Zao Zao opens, and the main purpose is to have fun.

Bai Qiaoniang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look! I always feel that Lin Zaozao is quite strange. Girl, you have to be careful."
