Making something is not something that can be done in a short time.
While several maids were studying the recipe for ointment and lip balm, Qin Wan was looking through the manuscript she brought out today.
If I come to the village, I have to stay for a few days at least. I can't put down the things at hand, so I brought these manuscripts with me.
Bai Wanyi's brochure has good creativity, but it contains too much text. Although the story is touching, it does not cater to people's preferences nowadays. What's more, it is full of advertisements, which makes it much less appealing.
At least Qin Wan knew that ordinary people liked to watch these things, but could not afford Bai Wanyi's things, and those who could afford these things did not like to watch these contents.
However, Bai Wanyi's articles also have their merits. At least they are written in plain language, easy to understand, and can be popularized.
After all, ordinary people have little literacy, and their writings, like articles, are difficult to understand even if someone reads to them. Naturally, what others explain is not as profound as their own understanding, and they are easily led astray.
Therefore, the booklet made by Qin Wan is very different from Bai Wanyi's.
There are eighteen pages inside, plus the cover, a total of twenty pages.
Both the front and back covers are used to promote one's own products.
The first two or three pictures inside are all recent court decrees and the movements of court officials.
As for the government decrees, they were naturally copied from the official gazette.
The Dibao was a document used by the imperial court to transmit information within the court. It was a news transcript of political intelligence. It was not actually published by the imperial court, but by officials from various places who set up offices in the capital.
The primary task of the representatives in the office was to serve as a liaison between the emperor and officials from various prefectures, and to regularly send official documents such as the emperor's edicts, Zhao Shu, memorials from ministers, and important court affairs back to the officials from various prefectures by express horses.
This is convenient to say. After all, when serving as an official outside the court, one can know the court's movements in a timely manner and make plans early.
However, it is inevitable that some people will use the office for personal gain and do other things.
The emperor had been dissatisfied with the court bulletins for a long time and wanted to collect the copies of the court bulletins and have them sent to various places.
This will also help to withdraw the offices of various places in Beijing to prevent some people from making any small moves.
However, as a result, fewer people had access to the court gazette, but it was still there, after all, there were bookstores in the private sector that copied the court gazette and sold it.
Qin Wan thought that she could choose some content related to people's livelihood and civil affairs to add to her booklet. Since there were not many literate people in the community, she would have to present it in the form of paintings.
Qin Wan asked Qin Chan to draw these. Simple paintings make it easy for people to understand the content and are also convenient for promotion.
Then we publish some articles written by scholars.
Although the Qin brothers were well-educated, they were not good at poetry and writing, and basically they traveled with the escort agency.
Since the Qin family couldn't be used, Qin Wan naturally asked Madam Chen for help.
Young Master Chen is now working at the Imperial College, so it is very easy for him to find some students to write articles.
The second son of the Chen family was also studying in the academy. If Qin Wan could find some students with good writing skills, many people would be willing to write for her if she paid some fees.
As for telling some short stories in plain language, that was even easier to tell. Qin Wan left it to the Qin family's brothers. What they heard the most while running errands outside were naturally various stories and gossip.
You don't need great literary skills, just write down the stories you hear.
You are all educated people. You don’t need to write articles, but can’t you write stories?
Isn't this?
These days, Qin Wan has a lot more manuscripts on hand.
Tao Yao was counting the money on the side, and the more she counted, the more distressed she felt: "Miss, this paper is very expensive, plus the fee for writing, if you give it away for free, how much money will we lose?"
Qin Wan tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Don't be so obsessed with money. This booklet is free, but these advertisements are not."
Qin Wan learned the word "advertisement" from Bai Wanyi: "Now the front and back covers are all promoting our own products. When more people see them, naturally someone will spend money to advertise. Then we won't have to worry about making money."
Tao Yao's eyes lit up: "Yes. Miss is really smart."
Qin Wan shook her head proudly: "That's right, don't you see who I am?"
For lunch they had a hot pot with steaming chicken soup base, thin slices of fish, lamb and beef, and sesame sauce on top, which was particularly satisfying.
Qin Wan always ate with these maids
Qin Wan was thinking about the next meal while eating this one: "Let's have a mutton hotpot tonight. No need to dip it in anything else, just use chives. It will definitely taste good."
Several maids were drooling, "We're not in the capital, so there are fewer taboos. If we ate these in the capital, the smell wouldn't dissipate and it would be bad for the guests."
"Let's just smoke each other here."
Yijia laughed and joked for a while, then said, "I remember there seems to be an ancient recipe specifically for clearing bad breath. I don't know if the Imperial Hospital has it. But I think the nobles in the palace do have it. Otherwise, it would be too boring to say you can't eat this or that."
"Then let's look for it." Qin Wan would not miss the opportunity to make money.
That night, Qin Wan ate a mutton hotpot. The mutton was stewed until soft and tender, and served with chives. It was delicious and nutritious.
The perfume, lip balm, and mouth cleansing pills were also made two days later.
Needless to say, the pill is called a pill only because it is meant to be taken orally. After eating something strong-tasting, put this in your mouth and swallow it after it dissolves with your saliva. It can help with digestion, and most importantly, it can remove bad breath. It is a great way!
After Qin Wan looked at the pill, she smiled and said, "From now on, you can eat whatever you want in the capital."
