Su Tai led her upstairs. "There are twelve private rooms here, specially for entertaining distinguished guests. I originally wanted to do business with women, but then I thought that men would also like our toiletries, so setting up private rooms will allow us to entertain them separately."

Shen Yuezhang felt that he had learned something new.

"Mom, you are thoughtful. Now we just need to put the goods on the shelves and we can open the store."

Su Tai nodded and walked towards the quiet and obedient Alan, "I didn't originally plan to buy so many people, but Village Chief Yu spoke up, and I also wanted to give you a chance to live well, so I brought you all back.

To be honest, the village doesn't need so many cooks. I've observed you for a few days and found that you are a careful and capable person. If I ask you to work in Qingfengzhai, would you be willing?"

Alan raised her head suddenly, and before she could hide the shock on her face, she knelt down in fear and said, "I will follow Madam's instructions."

Su Tai smiled and said, "Get up! I'll give you a chance. After you go back today, you and Chun Xing and Chun Cao will study and learn to read and do accounts together. I want you to master a thousand words and learn to do accounts within three months. Is that okay?"

Three months? Alan had no idea of ​​how long it would take, and she didn't know if she could do it, but she knew that this was a one-time opportunity, and if she missed it, there would be no such good thing in the future.

After a struggle in his heart, Alan gritted his teeth and nodded, "Madam, I am willing to give it a try."

"Very good!" Su Tai was very satisfied with Alan's decision, and looked at Shen Yuezhang again, "You stay in the shop to teach them during this period. There is a small room behind the counter, which is specially used to store account books.

People outside can't get in, so you don't have to worry about being seen if you go in, okay?"

Shen Yuezhang responded obediently.

The next day, Su Yu was taken to the shop by Su Tai.

She looked at the decoration of the shop and couldn't help nodding. "You are really capable. Apart from other things, these floor tiles alone are incomparable to other shops."

Su Tai took Su Yu's arm and said coquettishly, "Good cousin, since I'm so dedicated, can you help me for three months? You can manage the shop during these three months, and I'll give you half of the money I make. How about that?"

Su Yu glanced at her in reproach, "You said it as if I was helping you for money! But now you are rich, I don't feel guilty at all for doing things for you and getting paid!"

"Yes, yes! This little money is not as much as what my brother-in-law earns from business, but we can prove ourselves!"

"You keep saying so many sweet words, I can't argue with you! Okay! Leave this to me, you go and do your own thing!" Su Yu happily took the responsibility and asked Alan and the others to move all the goods out.

When Su Yu was about to find Su Tai to discuss the matter, he found that Su Tai had run away.

"Your mother?" Su Yu stared at Shen Yuezhang with wide eyes.

Shen Yuezhang calmly placed all kinds of toiletries on the table, "Aunt, don't look for my mother. She said that I should handle the matters of the shop in the back by myself."

Su Yu laughed angrily, "Okay! This damn girl is plotting against me here! I really thought there was such a good thing of picking up money for free!"

She grumbled and shook her head, then looked at Shen Yuezhang again, her heart pounding, "Can you do it?"

Shen Yuezhang nodded seriously, "Aunt, my mother said that no matter what you do, you can't say no! Look at these goods, this bottle of white porcelain red plum is for women to wash their faces, this bottle of red porcelain is for shampooing, the blue ones are for men, and the yellow ones are for children. The formula is milder and has different effects. There is also bath soap.

Goat milk soap is good for skin rejuvenation and whitening, peppermint soap is good for clearing away heat and removing prickly heat, floral soap is good for deodorizing and leaving a fragrance, and fruit soap is good for skin care and moisturizing, all of which have different effects.”

Su Yu stared at him, "I've never seen the master use so many bathing products when I worked in Bai's house before. The best one is the scented soap. Your mother deserves to be rich!"

Before coming here, she had no idea what business Su Tai was in. She just agreed because Su Tai asked. She never expected that she was selling these things. She knew without thinking how popular the shop would be!

Because he was confident in his products, Su Yu couldn't wait to start the business.

That day, she and Shen Yuezhang put the goods on the shelves, set prices, and did the basic accounting.

Alan, Chunxing and Chuncao were working hard to learn how to read. They started by writing down the first ten words in the account book.

It was already dark when Su Yu finished her work. Just as she was about to go back to her room to rest, she saw that there was still candlelight in Alan, Chunxing and Chuncao's room. She walked over and watched through the window as the three of them worked hard around the candle.

"Sister Alan, did I write this word correctly?" Chun Xing scratched her head and accidentally got a line of ink on her face.

Su Yu couldn't help laughing, but Alan didn't care at all when she saw Chun Xing in the room. She just stared at Chun Xing's handwriting carefully, and then carefully compared it with the model Su Yu wrote for them. After a moment, she nodded and said, "By the way, I didn't find anything wrong."

"Great! I learned a new character!" Chun Xing was very happy.

Chuncao worked harder and harder, and Alan also continued to practice.

Chun Xing took a look and started working hard too.

Su Yu looked at them and thought of her time in the Bai Mansion. The Bai family had more servants back then than the Su family does now, and there were more than a dozen servants of the same age.

Mrs. Bai is not a kind and tolerant person. If these little girls want to stand out, they have to work hard, fight hard, and compete with each other to be on guard against others' dirty tricks.

The reason why she is so good at dealing with people is that she has a good memory after suffering countless losses.

Alan and the other two are much luckier than she was before. At least as long as they work hard, they can be noticed by others and do not need to get involved in intrigues.

Su Yu quietly retreated back into the house.

The next morning, the Qingfengzhai shop, which had been closed for over a month, finally opened.

Shen Yuezhang personally took off the red cloth and set off a long string of firecrackers, marking the opening of the business.

The shop owners of several nearby shops all came over curiously to watch the fun.

As soon as they walked to the door, they were surprised by the exquisite floor tiles. They felt timid and looked at each other. No one dared to be the first to step in.

Su Yu led Alan and the others out confidently, "Sir, do you want to buy something?"

Shopkeeper Xue leaned forward and was pushed by someone. He stumbled into the shop with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. "Um... what's the shopkeeper's name?"

"Just call me Shopkeeper Su." Su Yu smiled generously.

The person who followed in immediately asked, "What do you sell in your shop?"

Su Yu asked Alan and the other two to bring the tray from the counter over and said, "Please look, this is what we have in our shop. Bath soap, shampoo, and facial cleanser are for men, women, and children. They have a nice fragrance and excellent effects. This is..."

She briefly introduced the products and looked at Shopkeeper Xue, "This gentleman seems to be socializing frequently. If he uses our cleaning products, I wonder how many people will envy him when he goes out!" (End of this chapter)
