Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 663

Bai Shi is so "polite", Zuo Fu can't be rude.Because Zhu Cihong has made an order, she can live at home now, and only needs to go to the yamen to work for four hours a day.So on the second day, Zuo Fu slept late, and then picked a few bottles of incense and balm from Taobao and sent them to Bai Shi.

She is the one whose lover hugs her. To put it bluntly, you really hug her. In fact, she is quite easy to manipulate. Although she doesn't speak very nicely, she will always perform the "law of true fragrance" in the end.

Sure enough, in the morning Zuo Fu delivered the perfume and balm, and in the afternoon Bai went out with the newly acquired perfume.He said that he was going to inform the old sisters about Zuo Fu's pregnancy, but with the raised eyebrows, anyone could tell that it was not to announce the good news, but to show off.

Zuo Fu watched her go out, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said softly: "It's really easy to coax."

Sun Xunyu came up and said: "She has such a temperament. If you support her, she will treat you well. If you don't follow her, she will let you die."

"You know she has such a temper, why are you always angry with her?"

Zuo Fu said: "I don't see you when I look up, and I see you when I look down. We all live in the same family, which saves her from making trouble."

"She has the brains to be the head of the family, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the family, can I rely on her?"

Sun Xuntang said: "When have I ever treated her harshly in terms of food and clothing? She insists on being the helm of this family, ah... It's not that I underestimate her. In three years, the family can be defeated.

Didn't you find out?She is very vain and likes to compare. My old father is not a worry-free person. He spends a lot of money. He has squandered a lot of the property of our ancestors. When I took over this house, I just looked at the scenery on the outside. , there is really not much family property left inside. "

Zuo Fu thought about Bai's daily expenses, and couldn't help shaking his head, "That's right, her life is indeed extravagant. Every day, there are bird's nests and sea cucumbers, feet soaked with safflower, chicken stewed with ginseng, jewelry and jewelry, let alone clothes. mentioned.

I heard from people below that she is a frequent visitor to Huimin Supermarket, and she keeps buying all kinds of skin care products. I have been married for the past two years, and I often give her some things. She buys less skin care products and make-up. . "

When Zuo Fu said this, Bai's figure appeared in his mind, and he trembled a little at the thought.Only then did she realize that Bai's is really well maintained. He is in his early [-]s, looks like he is in his early [-]s, and is also very fashionable. She will bring back any new styles of clothes that come out of Huimin Supermarket. , dressed more beautifully than a little girl.

Moreover, she also has a beauty card, and she has to go for a beauty treatment every few days, not to mention the makeup, she really keeps up with the trend, she wears whatever makeup is popular, regardless of whether it suits her age and identity.

Thinking of this, she laughed, "In this way, she really can't be the head of the family. Now she is the one with the most monthly cases in the family, but just like that, she is not enough. I heard that she has lost her temper a few times."

"Don't spoil her, or she will be very exciting."

Sun Xunting said: "The appetite will only get bigger and bigger."

"With you as a bad person, she wouldn't dare to go too far."

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "Besides, am I the kind of person who can get used to others?"

"You won't, it's just that you are afraid of trouble, and you will grow her appetite by then."

"Actually, those things are cheap."

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "Don't look at the high price of listing, the cost is actually not much."

Sun Xunting knew how big the profit of perfume was, but he was not very clear about the exact amount, so he asked, "Speaking of which, how big is the profit of perfume?"

Zuo Fudao: "Now there is a perfume factory in Qiongzhou, Changzhou, and Nanjing. The average price of a 10ml glass bottle without a spray head is about one tael of silver. Of course, the price of branded perfumes like Lingxi and Youlan is natural. Higher. It's just that the production cost of these perfumes is at most about a hundred words...

In the future, as the output of glass products increases and the technology improves, the cost can be further reduced.As for the ones I gave to the Bai family, they are all from Shimen's previous inventory, so they can be ignored.Those things are just samples, and they were taken to the perfumer for research, so it doesn't hurt to give them to her first. "

Sun Xunzhen didn't ask Zuo Fushimen where the inventory was. He was a smart person, so he would not inquire about these embarrassing things for her.So sometimes he was a little apprehensive, did he really marry a fairy back?

"This perfume is really easy to sell. Those girls who can't afford perfume will also choose to use balm. In this way, there is no market for the previous aromatherapy."

Sun Xunting couldn't help sighing, "In the past, aromatherapy materials were very expensive, and rich families used them to fumigate their clothes. Now that there are perfumes, no one uses them. After all, perfumes are convenient to use and last longer, and the fragrance layers are more abundant. With this Who still smokes clothes? Nowadays, only those who play with incense are still using aromatherapy. But, it’s not used to smoke clothes anymore, it’s just for appreciating fragrance and calming the mind.”

After a pause, he continued: "What surprises me even more is that those Xiyi people are even more crazy about perfume than us Daming people. They took a lot of perfume and went back. Did those French take perfume to bathe?"

Zuo Fu pursed his lips and chuckled, "That means we force them to take a bath and wash their hair every time they enter the country, otherwise they will stink to death."

"How to say?"

Sun Xunyu was a little surprised, "They don't like to take a bath?"

"They think that bathing too much will make them sick, so they advocate not bathing."

"what?!"

Sun Xunting was shocked!

"Will you get sick in the shower? What's the point?"

Zuo Fu grinned, "How would I know? They still have a lot of weird ideas, such as bloodletting treatment."

"This one……"

Sun Xun frowned, "It makes sense, we can also use this method to treat it, for example, to treat snake gallbladder (herpes zoster), you need to poke a few acupuncture points to let blood, as for the ones in your mouth... it is actually Zhu Youshu. , I feel that the main effect is the bloodletting.”

"They bleed people to death, no matter what disease you have, they will bleed you."

Zuo Fu shrugged, "So every time we enter the country, our customs officers are very busy. They are fully equipped as if they are facing an enemy. I am afraid that they will bring in some diseases. After that, they will give them sulfur soap to bathe, wash their hair, and then spray some to remove lice. Otherwise, within a few days, it is estimated that everyone on the isolated island will be infected with lice."

Zuo Fu shook his head, thinking of a documentary filmed by the BBC in later generations, and when thinking of that scene, he felt sick, "Those Westerners are very unhygienic, even inside the imperial palace, they urinate everywhere, and the whole city is stinky by them. Yes, there is not even a place to set foot..."

This is not because Zuofu bury them, but London and Paris in this period are really dirty! !This is a documentary made by these foreigners themselves, and it does not blacken them.

Sun Xunting was completely shocked!
Pissing and defecating everywhere in the palace...

This, this, this...

He only felt that he had lived for 35 years in vain!There is such a strange country in the world?It's fine to urinate everywhere outside, but to defecate casually in the palace, what kind of operation is this? !

Seeing Sun Xunzhen's surprised look, Zuo Fu chuckled, feeling a little proud in his heart.

To be honest, the ancient Chinese were much better than their contemporaries in terms of hygiene awareness.Don't say that it is in the dynasty. It was during the Qin and Han Dynasties that frequent bathing was advocated, and the rule of bathing once every five days was established from then on.

In order to encourage everyone to take a bath, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a five-day holiday for one day. The purpose was to ask officials to take a bath, and then drive the people at the bottom to take a bath frequently, so as to reduce the spread of diseases.

And when she came to Daming, even though it was the end of the dynasty and the cleanliness of the streets could not be compared with that of the later generations, she didn't think Xiyi had no place to lay her feet?The imperial court also sent some people to tidy up the streets, but they were not as thorough as she was.

Thinking about the clean appearance of the city she managed, she felt a sense of accomplishment.Although this is an insignificant matter for the general environment, it is quite a sense of accomplishment to cultivate the habit of paying attention to hygiene among the people under the rule.

Among other things, at least this can greatly reduce the spread of diseases, and it is also comfortable to look at, isn't it?And those dirty things can also be used as fertilizer, and some garbage can be recycled.Although industrialization will inevitably cause pollution, if a little awareness of environmental protection and hygiene can be implanted now, the losses caused will be less.

And she also encouraged everyone to plant trees. She promulgated a decree in Qiongzhou, Changzhou, and Nanjing: trees cannot be cut down at will, and a tree must be planted after a tree is cut within the scope allowed by the government. As for the use of fire, it is completely used. Honeycomb replaced.

There are many coal mines in Australia, and the quality is good, and there are many in Southeast Asia, so cut down a little less trees if possible.In this way, the pollution caused by the burning of coal mines can be more or less offset. When the Northern Expedition succeeds in the future, she must encourage the people to plant trees, carry out water conservancy projects, return farmland to forests, and minimize the damage to the environment caused by industrialization.

"In that case, I can understand why they are so partial to perfume."

After Sun Xunyu was shocked, he couldn't help shaking his head and said with a smile: "If you don't spray some perfume on such a dirty place, I'm afraid it will stink to death. Moreover, every time those French envoys come to visit you, even though they also followed our etiquette of frequent bathing in Daming, But I always feel that they have taste."

"They have developed sweat glands and naturally have a strong body odor, so this perfume can sell well there."

"The FOB price starts with one tael of silver, and you're not bad enough."

Sun Xunyu couldn't help being happy when he thought of this, "Those French and British people came to me, hoping to give me a wholesale price. They also complained that there is no wholesale price that is the same as the retail price. We are too dishonest." "

"That's all our production capacity, what will our people use if we give them?"

Zuo Fu curled his lips, "Hmph! What's the profit from buying one tael of silver from us to at least ten taels of gold in their country? You're still pretending to me! I didn't add 1% to the price, it's not bad Already!"

"Actually speaking of this, there is one thing that I have never quite understood."

Sun Xunting helped Zuo Fu as he walked and asked, "Like back then, only you had that mirror, and you could ask for a higher price. Why did you sell it so cheaply? Is it because of my power?"

"I thought you were greedy, but I didn't expect you to be very disciplined in business."

Zuo Fu laughed, "So I think you are a person who can cooperate. In addition, my father was just a poor family back then, and the common people looked like an official, but in fact, even a small official of the seventh or eighth rank could bully him. Next, if I don't find a strong person to cooperate, won't I be swallowed by others?

Furthermore, I judged at the beginning that I, Ming, would never be able to resist the Qing army going south, so I just wanted to gather funds quickly and then recruit a large number of private soldiers, and raising private soldiers costs a lot of money. It's not a small fee, not to mention that they have to be equipped with weapon leather armor, how much will it cost?
In troubled times, only food and soldiers can save the lives of the whole family, and my father was offered a reward by the Qing people, so my family has no way to surrender and can only escape.On this way of escape, if there are more people to protect him, it will be safer, right?Furthermore, if I sell things expensively, you will sell them even more expensively, so how can I collect more rich people's money into my pocket?
There are also things like soap, which I made are true, but if I sell them expensive, how many people can afford them?This thing can be used for a period of time if you buy a piece of it. If I don’t include ordinary people, how much can rich people consume?
I sell it for ten taels, and ten people buy it, so what if the profit is 99 taels?These ten people were the only ones I could buy. At that time, the Qing army had already occupied Beijing, and I didn’t have much time left. If I didn’t try my best to expand the consumption level, then I would be the one who died. "

Sun Xunting was silent.After a while, he suddenly clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, okay! You were only 16 years old back then, but you already have this talent. It's really like what the world says, you are really a monster!"

"Ah."

Zuo Fu laughed, "Don't say that! Although you only asked about it today, didn't you just use my mind to make money back then so you could make money with peace of mind?"

Sun Xunyu laughed loudly, approached Zuo Fu and kissed her on the cheek, "So... big fox and little fox, we are a perfect match."

"Not serious!"

Zuo Fu glared at him, "There are so many people watching!"

He took her hand with a smile, and said: "They dare not look at it. Are you tired? I have to go to the Yamen in the afternoon, go back to the room and rest. By the way, what do you want to eat today?"

Zuo Fu tilted his neck and thought for a while, then said: "I want to eat spicy hot pot..."

"..."

Sun Xunyu's face turned dark, "Don't eat it, pregnant women can't eat those."

"...Well, I'm just saying, I know I don't really like those things."

Zuo Fu wants to cry but has no tears.Recently, the taste has become more and more heavy, but those heavy tastes are not very tasty for pregnant women, but this is getting lighter and lighter in the mouth, and I always want to eat some strong tastes. It's not easy being a mother!Thinking about it this way, when I came to this world, it was actually my mother’s day of suffering, and I should treat my mother better in the future!
Seeing Zuo Fu's pitiful look, Sun Xunting turned his head away from looking at her, and said in a low voice, "I read the books in Huimin Supermarket, and I've already prepared the recipe for you. Let's go back to the room. The menu is given to you, you choose it yourself, choose it and let someone make it..."
