A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...
If we sell it at a higher price, it might cause dissatisfaction among others. Although I'm not afraid of being hated, it's still troublesome, isn't it?
"Good that it's sold out. Now we can prepare for the New Year in peace. We'll stick to what we agreed on before and do it through pre-orders. We'll talk about it after the New Year."
She has no fear of a lack of business; the large number of shampoos and conditioners she just gave away are the best advertisement. She believes that within two months, her shampoo and conditioner will be all the rage among the ruling class.
More needs to be produced; relying entirely on manual labor is far too slow. It's a pity she can't build machines or generate electricity...
Fei Peng arranged this, and Zhao Shu asked Green Luo to summon Bi Qiao and ask, "I see only women, no male staff?" They had promised handsome men and beautiful women.
Bi Qiao hurriedly apologized, "Princess, please forgive me. The young men are not yet ready to be used. They need to be taught for a while longer, and they will surely be useful next year."
"Well, I saw you were busy, so I didn't ask. Don't worry, the most important thing is the quality of the people. Better to have fewer but better ones. Go ahead and get busy. When you're done, have the kitchen prepare some good food. It's almost New Year's, and everyone is working hard. Give them their monthly allowances as they deserve. Don't hold back for me. Oh, and if you see Commander Mo, have him come find me. Don't forget Zhang Liu in the capital either. Send them some specialties from Guanzhou so they can have a good New Year too. Don't let the lack of life in the Prince's Mansion dampen their spirits."
She rambled on, finally saying all the things she hadn't said in a long time, explaining that she had been extremely busy lately and often forgot.
Bi Qiao felt relieved. The princess had become more and more sensible. She would never have thought of these things before. It seemed that learning housekeeping from Lady Zhang was very useful.
Although Zhao Shu was very busy, she still had to set aside an hour each day to learn housekeeping from Zhang Chu. Since she had just become his apprentice and it was the end of the year, Luo Hu had not yet started teaching. Instead, she spent her days in the mansion reciting poems with Huo Chengqiu.
"Princess, rest assured, I haven't forgotten about Captain Zhang. I've already sent someone to the capital, and they should be back soon." When Bi Qiao sent someone to the capital, the Crown Prince was seriously ill and on his deathbed. Zhao Shu was preoccupied with other matters and didn't report it. Afterwards, she was so busy that she forgot about it.
"Your handling of the matter is reassuring to both my father and me." The shop business is just getting started, but Zhao Shu is not worried. Taking advantage of the opportunity presented by her inspection tour of the country, she believes that as long as there are enough goods, money will not be a problem.
It's time to treat the prince's leg injury. There's a superstition that you shouldn't leave bad things for the next year, so that you can rise higher and have good luck in the new year.
