Therefore, he was stunned after hearing Shi Qingluo's words.
She asked curiously, "How do you improve papermaking?"
Shi Qingluo replied: "It can reduce the cost of papermaking and produce paper of different prices."
"If the paper mill opened by Concubine Hua can produce very cheap paper, I believe it will be easy to sell in Daliang."
"And once the paper mill becomes bigger, we can open some related workshops."
"For example, oil-paper umbrellas are very expensive nowadays, and ordinary people can't afford them at all. They all use straw raincoats, etc."
"When paper becomes cheaper in the future, you can open an oil-paper umbrella workshop and make umbrellas at different prices, high, medium and low."
"The price of paper has become cheaper. Poor students or small families can save a lot of money every year, and they will thank you, Concubine Hua."
"In the future, when it rains, passers-by on the streets of North City will all take out their oil-paper umbrellas and hold them, which will be a beautiful sight."
"These umbrellas were all bought from your workshop. They will also thank you, Concubine Hua."
After hearing Shi Qingluo's words, Concubine Hua's originally calm heart couldn't help but become restless.
The prince has always wanted to win over scholars, and the price reduction of paper is a good opportunity.
The paper produced in her workshop is cheaper than that sold outside, so naturally more people will buy it, and she can also make a lot of money.
There is also the oil-paper umbrella that Shi Qingluo mentioned. When it rains in North City in the future, everyone will take out an oil-paper umbrella made in her workshop. Just thinking about it will make her feel a sense of accomplishment.
She looked at Shi Qingluo with shining eyes, "No wonder everyone says Madam Shi is a golden child."
"Sure enough, you can make money just by coming up with an idea."
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Concubine Hua, you are too kind. I am just receiving a favor from my master."
Concubine Hua thought for a moment and asked again, "You know a lot of recipes?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Yes, I know dozens of them."
"I've been eating at restaurants in North City these past few days, and I feel like the food is too monotonous."
"If Concubine Hua can add more special dishes to your restaurant, I believe the business will get better and better."
"Once you have established a reputation in the North City, you can train some chefs and open your restaurant in other cities or counties."
"Let more people taste different delicacies, and everyone will thank you."
The food in northern Xinjiang is too monotonous, with only a few dishes.
There were few cooking methods in this era, basically boiling and stewing, and stir-frying was rare.
Therefore, Shi Qingluo felt that it was necessary to ask Prince Jin to improve the cuisine in Northern Xinjiang.
She had also asked Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui whether they wanted to open a restaurant.
But neither of them was interested.
Bai Xu was interested in opening a restaurant before, and even got a few recipes from her.
But ever since he started traveling back and forth to the grasslands with his uncle, transporting wool and sheep oil for resale, he fell in love with this more exciting business.
That's why when Qing Luo heard that Concubine Hua had a restaurant, he said he had a recipe.
Of course, whether it is the recipe for improving papermaking or the cookbook recipe, it is impossible to give it to Concubine Hua for free.
As long as the other party is not stupid and wants to keep things steady, he will not want to take it for free.
Concubine Hua thought to herself, no wonder the prince attached so much importance to Shi Qingluo, this girl is really amazing.
I just asked her what kind of shop she opened, and she was able to come up with recipes and give suggestions one after another.
Concubine Hua smiled affectionately and said, "That's a good feeling! I also think that there are too few dishes in the restaurant now."
I have to ask the prince about this matter first, and I also have to ask him how to get Shi Qingluo's prescription.
Shi Qingluo knew that Concubine Hua could not be the real boss, so she nodded and said, "If we have time, let's arrange a place to talk tomorrow."
Concubine Hua chuckled and said, "Okay."
Then he mentioned the name of a teahouse and agreed on a time with Shi Qingluo.
This teahouse is owned by King Jin, so it is not easy for things discussed here to be leaked.
The two of them talked and laughed a lot, without hiding anything.
Therefore, the ladies following behind heard their conversation.
At the same time, they were terrified. Obviously, they didn't expect that Shi Qingluo could really come up with an idea to make money just after Concubine Hua mentioned it casually.
Not to mention Concubine Hua, even they all felt that if it was really done, it would definitely make money.
In particular, improving the papermaking method and reducing the price of paper will greatly benefit one's reputation.
No wonder Concubine Hua was so polite to a county magistrate's wife. They would be polite too!
Of course, when people are jealous, they feel even more jealous.
Shi Qingluo didn't care about the attitudes of these ladies, but she was sure that after what happened today, she would become famous in the upper circles of North City.
She could also guess why Concubine Hua asked her for advice in front of these ladies.
In addition to trying to win them over, this is also done for these people to see.
Especially if she really agreed, it would also send a signal to the outside world that she was showing goodwill towards Prince Jin's Mansion.
Prince Jin might have another meaning. After the emperor's spies find out, the emperor might be wary of the couple or even get angry.
When Shi Qingluo came to Northern Frontier, he not only had to be careful not to fall into traps, but also had to deal with King Jin.
I guess I will have to deal with other ladies from aristocratic families later.
The purpose of the flower-viewing banquet was achieved, and Concubine Hua was in a good mood.
During this period, he was also introduced to Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong, and met many ladies from the aristocratic families in North City.
Most of these people were smart people. No matter what they thought in their hearts, or even if they looked down on Shi Qingluo's identity as a village woman, they did not show it on their faces.
What surprised them again was that no matter what topic they brought up, Shi Qingluo could always keep up the conversation.
When talking with them, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and does not deliberately show off himself, but he also does not lack a sense of presence.
In short, it's very comfortable to get along with her, and she doesn't look like a village woman at all.
As a result, their impression of Shi Qingluo changed again, and they valued her a little more.
Of course, there are a few who don’t understand those twists and turns, or who always think they are of noble status, and their words and deeds are full of arrogance.
Shi Qingluo naturally wouldn't try to please someone else. If someone was cold and arrogant, she was too lazy to deal with them.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, she left an impression of being bold and arrogant.
Liu Ruya followed behind these ladies.
Seeing that Shi Qingluo was very happy to win over Concubine Hua, and that he was very relaxed and at ease talking and interacting with these noble ladies, he couldn't help but admire Shi Qingluo in his heart.
It was no wonder that she failed in seducing Xiao Hanzheng. With a wife like Qing Luo, other women who were only beautiful would definitely not be in his eyes.
What happened in the garden also fell into the eyes of a person sitting in a rockery pavilion not far away.
I woke up from a nap and found that my laptop could not be charged, so I shut it down and restarted it, but it was black no matter how I pressed the buttons. I had no choice but to ride my bike to the after-sales service. The staff took it and turned it on, and it could be charged. I… Although I went there in vain, I was glad that it didn’t break down, otherwise I would have to leave it there to be repaired tonight. I wasted the whole afternoon and only wrote one chapter, so I will continue the remaining three chapters at 20:00. I am rushing~~~ (End of this chapter)
