Because the store itself just went to check out the situation and think of any ways to increase revenue that Ying'er might not have thought of. Other than that, Ying'er is the manager.
Since that Cui so-and-so was arrested, Li Sheng has not been troubled by anyone anymore. He naturally returned to Zhuangzi and continued to work on his own affairs.
Apart from anything else, papermaking was almost done during this period. Li Sheng built three separate sheds, which were used to produce paper.
In Li Sheng's opinion, these three sheds are just small workshops. However, the various facilities, such as cooking and drying, are reasonably designed and the equipment is complete, so they are not bad. They can produce about five or six hundred kilograms per day.
paper.
It just so happened that the people in the village had no money to earn during the off-season, so they were very happy to have extra income.
Of course, it was already the turn of spring and summer, and the slack season was certainly not slack. Therefore, these workshops had not yet reached production capacity, and Li Sheng could only regretfully wait.
On this day, Li Sheng reviewed the biology class he had learned before. After all, if you want to remember it after so many years, you still have to recall it from time to time.
While Li Sheng was thinking about Mendel's laws, Mian'er walked in with a few snacks and a drink.
"Sir, fruit tea and snacks."
"Okay, put it there."
"Sir, I went to Chang'an for shopping the day before yesterday, and the more than 500 bottles of perfume I mixed at the beginning of the month were sold out again..."
"Sold out again?"
…
Mian'er said casually.
Li Sheng couldn't help but be startled.
He clearly remembered asking Ying'er to sell the perfumes in different grades. The cheapest one was cheaper than the original twelve taels per bottle, but it was turned into a small bottle, called the "trial version", and only sold for two hundred cents a bottle.
The most expensive one has been sold for a hundred taels a bottle.
Of course, Li Sheng also warned that the one hundred liang bottles must be the best, and the quantity must not exceed five bottles.
After changing the modern sales strategy, Li Sheng expected to sell for a while, because the overall profit has actually increased, which is equivalent to a price increase.
If you can't produce it yourself, you can only make big profits and sell more.
As a result, in the blink of an eye...
"How come it was sold out? The man who bought and sold by force came again that day?"
Li Sheng couldn't help but frowned when he thought of this, but Mian'er smiled and shook his head, "No, sir, it was the perfume that somehow spread to the empress in the palace. As a result, because the empress liked it so much, now the entire Chang'an
All the ladies are buying like crazy."
"I'm going...the queen has brought the goods...no wonder!"
Li Sheng was also dumbfounded. Are there celebrities bringing goods these days?
However, strong sales are a good thing after all. It's just that when it's out of stock, customers who can't buy it can only say they're sorry.
"Okay... As long as the shop is running normally, Mian'er, do you still remember the chemical operation standards that the young master told you?"
"Chemistry? Mian'er remember, what does the young master want to do?"
"Three acids and two bases experiment, follow me!"
…
The key to Li Sheng's papermaking method is bleaching with strong acid and alkali.
With this program, the paper will naturally be white and flawless, far better than the yellowed so-called famous papers of this era.
Of course, the selection of wood pulp, technology, etc. are naturally modern, which ensures the stiffness and strength of the paper, but the key is bleaching. This visual enjoyment is a complete shock.
However, at present, Li Sheng only has nitric acid made by good saltpeter method. The effect is good but the output is too low. So Li Sheng is going to let Mian'er help to prepare acid and alkali, preferably 98
% concentration of nitric acid.
Although it seems that every production process in the chemical industry requires pure chemical products as raw materials, Li Sheng is really not short of this.
Recently, he signed in and got a lot of sulfuric acid, which can be used as a starting point for the acid-base industry, and he has overcome many troubles.
He can now directly open a workshop for making acid and alkali with local methods!
Of course, in Li Sheng's eyes, the workshop is nothing more than a modern black technology factory in this era...
Just as he was about to take Mian'er to the backyard, there was suddenly a noise from the front hall.
Li Sheng was startled. Is there anyone running errands near the village? I haven't heard of any family having any affairs.
Then, a call suddenly came...
"Sir, it's me, Lao Li!"
…
Li Sheng's eyes widened, this is...
I took Mian'er back to the front hall and took a look. Hey, he was really a familiar face!
Lao Li and the others are here.
"Young master, you are well. I haven't seen you for a month. You look even more handsome!"
"What did Lao Li say? You have to look handsome even if you don't see me for three days, let alone a month."
Li Sheng didn't blush at all. If you praise me, I should praise myself even more.
Li Er laughed loudly when he saw his child, and suddenly felt much better.
These days, he is almost depressed when he goes to Ganlu Hall and is disgusted by a group of intersex people.
Later, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others also walked into the front hall. When they saw Li Shengju, they were all smiles, as if they had met their long-lost relatives.
Li Sheng felt uncomfortable for a while. I think these ancient people are too naive to talk to me. Don't you feel that I am a bit too dramatic?
Anyway, there is really no such thing as talking in this rural village.
But considering that this group of people were originally from ancient times, Li Sheng naturally understood and asked everyone to sit down!
…
"Young master, I heard from my wife yesterday that a shop opened on Chunhui Street in Chang'an City, saying that it sells... uh, perfume. Only when I heard about it from my family did I know that the shop was opened by the young master!"
"Young master, why don't you tell everyone when you open a shop? Why don't you go and cheer for me to boost your morale, so as not to be bullied by the locals?"
Du Ruhui said this as if he was blaming, and everyone said yes,
Young master, you opened a shop, which is such a big deal, and you didn't even tell your brothers. Aren't you a little out of touch?
As for the hidden foreshadowing in Du Ruhui's words, everyone has mentioned it one by one without mentioning it at all.
Li Sheng naturally laughed and thought, "I'm not opening a Wanda Plaza. What's the notice?"
"You guys are joking, it's just a small shop to earn some pocket money, there's nothing you dare to show off!"
"Oh, Master, what you said is wrong. I was talking to my wife about Master's shop yesterday, and the business is so good! Several bottles of perfume are sold out within half an hour of opening every day.
Empty."
"To be honest, sir, I have been doing business for so many years, but I have never seen such a hot business!"
Fang Xuanling praised Li Sheng with a smile, but she actually meant it sincerely.
He has lived in Chang'an for decades, and he has never seen such a booming business... On the way here, he became more and more sure that this His Highness is the right one.
But...at this time, he wanted to ask about other things.
