Chapter 154 Rouge and Powder

The two talked for a long time. Shen Yueyao saw that it was getting late and Su Xueyi had to go to class in the afternoon.

She could only say to Su Xueyi: "Then I'll go back first. Remember to have lunch."

Su Xueyi said gently, "Okay, you can go back in the ox cart."

Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, "No need, I can just walk back. There's no need for an ox cart now. It's safer for you to go home in an ox cart at night."

Ever since she knew that Su Xueyi's leg was injured intentionally, Shen Yueyao didn't dare to let Su Xueyi take someone else's ox cart home.

It just so happened that my family bought an ox cart, so I wanted to give it to Su Xueyi.

Shen Yueyao knew that the most important thing for the Su family now was Su Xueyi's exam.

If Su Xueyi can get into the capital step by step, the Su family will be able to rise again in the future.

He carries the hopes of the entire Su family.

Shen Yueyao insisted, and Su Xueyi had no choice.

Shen Yueyao went back, and Su Xueyi didn't move until she walked out of the alley and Su Xueyi couldn't see her back.

Although she could go home in the evening, Su Xueyi felt a sense of emptiness in her heart because she couldn't see Shen Yueyao anymore.

He didn't know when it started, but he had become completely accustomed to her being around.

Even though they were busy with their own things at home and didn't talk much, he could see her as soon as he looked up, and that feeling made him feel at ease and fulfilled.

Su Xueyi sighed inwardly and turned back to the academy.

He hoped that time would pass quickly so that he could go home in the evening and see his Yao Niang.

…

It was already past noon when Shen Yueyao returned home.

But Mrs. Meng was worried that she would not have time to eat when she went to town, so she prepared lunch and heated it up in the pot for her.

When I saw her come back, I served her more food.

Shen Yueyao felt particularly warm in her heart as she ate the hot meal.

There is a feeling of home.

And she felt maternal love from Mrs. Meng.

Even though Mrs. Meng was her mother-in-law, she felt that Mrs. Meng treated her like her own daughter.

During the meal, Shen Yueyao said to Madam Meng, "Mom, starting tomorrow, there will be more people working in our workshop. With Aunt Li and the others as supervisors to guide everyone, they will get the hang of the work quickly, and you and Erya won't have to work so hard."

Madam Meng said worriedly, "How can that be possible? There are so many people working, and I don't know how well they are doing. Mother is thinking of helping you with more work."

Madam Meng wished she could do the work of two people by herself, so that Yao Niang could have an easier time.

Seeing Yao Niang so busy, Mrs. Meng sometimes felt anxious and distressed.

She knew that Yao Niang did so much for this family.

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "I'm going to open a workshop in the future. Mother and Erya are the people I trust the most. I thought you would be the managers, the biggest managers in the workshop. You don't have to work on weekdays, just help go around the workshops and take a look. Just supervise and inspect everyone's work."

"Mom, if you and Erya still have to work, we won't be able to handle it and won't be able to supervise everyone's work."

"If you guys help with supervision and inspection, I can focus on other things..."

"Besides, this way, you can also help me take care of Dabao and Erbao."

After Shen Yueyao's explanation, Madam Meng and Su Erya understood what they needed to do.

Su Erya said, "Don't worry, Third Aunt, I'll do whatever you need me to do. I'll always listen to you."

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, “It’s mainly because my mother is helping to supervise the inspection, and I also need you to help with the accounting.”

Su Erya is very smart, learns things quickly, and can use an abacus very quickly.

I can recite all the Arabic numeral algorithms I learned by heart, and I have mastered the accounting methods very well.

He is very good at mental arithmetic and can use an abacus with both hands.

Su Erya is talented in this area, and Shen Yueyao admires her in her heart.

With the help of Madam Meng and Su Erya, Shen Yueyao can also handle it.

However, when Shen Yueyao thought of Su Daya, she sighed in her heart.

Everyone in the Su family is very smart. If Su Daya wasn't so serious and was willing to learn, she might learn better than Su Erya.

In her opinion, in this era, it is beneficial for girls to learn more skills, which can also enhance their self-confidence.

As for Su Xueyi's elder brother Su Xiuye, he was responsible for supervising everyone's construction of the workshop and helping to pay workers every day.

Chen Shaojing is now in charge of the sales of the workshop's chili meat sauce.

Everyone has his or her own division of labor, so that the workshop can operate better.

After lunch, Shen Yueyao also went to the workshop and gave Li and the others a simple training, telling them how to familiarize the newcomers with the work and how to teach them how to do the work when new people come to the workshop tomorrow.

It also allows everyone to shoulder the responsibility of being in charge and provide guidance and supervision for the work.

Later she will also inquire about the random checks on the work of various neighborhoods.

After giving everyone a brief training, Shen Yueyao continued to think about the lipstick.

In this era, people generally used rouge as powder and also applied rouge on their lips.

Not as convenient as modern lipstick.

Shen Yueyao likes the rotating shell very much, which is convenient to carry on weekdays.

Just turn it gently and you can take it out and use it.

She planned to make the things inside first.

The raw materials were not expensive, and she also went to learn about the market situation. She felt that if a lipstick was sold for one hundred cents, people would rush to buy it.

No matter what era, women love beauty.

She believes that once the exquisite and easy-to-use lipstick is put on the market, it will be very popular.

While Shen Yueyao was busy making lipstick, Shen Shaojing came back.

Shen Shaojing also brought a lot of things to Shen Yueyao, "Sister, this is the silver that my third brother and sister-in-law gave me last month, a total of sixteen taels of silver."

Shen Yueyao was immediately surprised. "So, Third Brother and Sister-in-law's shop made a lot of money last month?"

Shen Shaojing smiled and said, "Yes, Third Brother and Sister-in-law especially want to thank you, sister. Parents also asked us to bring a lot of fans here, thinking that you can cook them on weekdays."

"Also, the enoki mushrooms you gave me have grown. They are delicious when stir-fried or made into soup."

"My parents asked me to bring some for you."

Shen Yueyao was happy to see that her fourth brother had brought so many things, and also saw such fresh enoki mushrooms.

"Actually, there's no need to send these, we already have them at home."

She also planted a lot of enoki mushrooms in her space.

"My parents insisted that I bring it to you."

There was also silver, and Shen Shaojing also gave the silver to Shen Yueyao.

"My third brother and his wife have really made a lot of money and are planning to buy the shop. They said if they make more money in the future, they can open a branch. Business is booming now. Now that the weather is warmer, more people go to the shop. Everyone likes to eat a bowl of hot and sour noodles, and there are also various kinds of noodles. Everyone likes to eat them."

"My third brother and his wife are a little overwhelmed, so they're thinking of hiring someone to help out in the store..."

"But sister, you don't know what happened in our family last night. Even I don't know that the eldest brother and the second brother are not our real brothers."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yueyao was stunned, thinking that she had heard it wrongly, "Fourth brother, what did you just say? What's going on?"
