"Madam Su, it takes at least three years from the planting of medicinal herbs to the harvesting of them. Fruit trees also take time. I wonder what you'll be using the bamboo forest for? I imagine your mysterious business will also take three years after the wall is built. This incense shop is different. The incense dew is made and sold immediately, and you can pre-order it in advance. The shop also sells ordinary incense powder, and within three months, we'll have a steady flow of income."
"You can use the money you earn from the incense shop to slowly manage the medicinal herbs, orchard, and bamboo forest."
Xiao Lingyu felt that what Xu Yulan said made sense, but she had the spiritual spring water in her hands, and it would not take several years to use Wufeng Mountain as a cover. Instead, the bamboo paper business needed to be done at a normal pace. The papermaking workshop needed to be built, and a craftsman needed to be hired to make paper products. If it was fast, "Yu Paper" could be sold in Huayang County next year, and if it was slow, it would take at least three years.
"Yu Lan, I don't want to make this perfume into a business for now. I only make perfume for my family and friends, but I do have a better way to make a living."
Xu Yulan felt lost for a second, but then perked up again. "What kind of business is it?"
"milk tea."
Xiao Lingyu used local materials and borrowed some of Su Ning'an's strength to use a medicine mortar to pound the tea leaves and roses into powder. He then poured the boiled goat milk, tea powder and rose foam into the tea stove and boiled them.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Lingyu filled eight cups with the prepared rose milk tea.
"This is rose milk tea, kids, Yu Lan, come and try it."
The four brothers and sisters picked up the teacups without hesitation, blew on them gently, and drank from them in big gulps.
Su Ning'an took a sip and his eyes lit up. After drinking it in one gulp, he handed a cup to Su Xingyi, "Dad, the rose milk tea made by mom is delicious. Please try it."
Su Xingyi took it and took a sip, surprise flashing in his eyes, and then drank it in one gulp, "Child..." He glanced at Xu Yulan and quickly changed the subject, "Madam, the rose milk tea you made is so sweet. I want some more. Do you have any more?"
Xiao Lingyu was startled and quickly glanced at Su Xingyi. Seeing a warm smile on his slightly red face, he naturally said, "There are still many. My husband likes the rose milk tea I make, so you can drink more."
Xiao Lingyu took a large teacup and filled it for Su Xingyi and handed it to him personally. She opened her red lips and blew gently in front of him. She blew very slowly, and her beautiful eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist.
Su Xingyi's heart couldn't help but stir up a ripple at this. Xiao Lingyu raised her eyes to see his expression and pursed her lips slightly, "I blew it, it's not hot, take it quickly."
Su Xingyi subconsciously said "OK", took the milk tea and drank it slowly.
"Yulan, is the milk tea business doing well?"
"Ah? I haven't drunk yet."
Xu Yulan quickly picked up the teacup and started drinking. Her attention had just been on Xiao Lingyu and Su Xingyi.
Mrs. Su and her husband had such a good relationship, they looked so well matched, and they had four lovely and sensible children. She felt a little envious.
Yu Lanxuan has been taken back, and she has to think about her own affairs.
Xu Yulan put down the teacup and said, "Luyuan Qionglou has never made milk tea before. This milk tea will definitely attract many diners."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Then let's renovate 'Shi Zai Yu Lan' and sell milk tea. I'll provide the recipe and you'll provide the people. I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%..."
"Mother, lunch is ready."
Xu Yulan always brought a lunch box with her, and together with the big pot of rice made by the Su family, the table was filled with food.
At the dinner table, Xiao Lingyu explained in detail to Xu Yulan all the precautions in running a milk tea shop.
Half an hour later, Xu Yulan took the design drawings, cooperation agreement, and the ordered ingredients and left the Su family yard.
Su Ningjie watched the Xu family's carriage go away before he came to his senses. The incense shop failed, and what succeeded was actually a milk tea shop.
Su Ningjie touched his clothes and thought about the shoulder bag. It seemed that it could also bring him money if he opened a clothing store.
My mother can also teach my eldest brother how to paint, so it seems that running a painting studio can still make money.
It seems that everything my mother knows can be exchanged for money, so what doesn’t she know?
"Second brother, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, I'm going to plant peppers."
After seeing that everyone in the family was taking a nap, Xiao Lingyu pulled out a large piece of silk fabric from the bamboo cabinet and brought it into the space, wrapping a set of cosmetic boxes with the silk fabric.
Half an hour later, she called Su Ningjie over and said, "Mother will perform a magic trick for you. It can make your little face smooth and flawless, without a single red spot."
"Can this part of mine be changed?" Su Ningjie pointed at his beauty spot and said, "It can't be washed off or rubbed off."
"I can't make it disappear, but I can cover it up so others can't see the red mole on your face."
Su Ningjie glanced at the things on the table and asked, "How do we cover it up?"
"You can cover it with rouge."
"Mother, when did you buy the rouge?"
Xiao Lingyu lied casually: "I bought it on the way to the government office last time when I took the third child with me. I put it in the box and haven't taken it out yet."
Su Ningjie had no doubts: "Then mother, cover it for me."
A quarter of an hour later, Su Ningjie was distracted for a moment while looking at himself in the bronze mirror. He found that he was quite handsome.
"Mother, not only has the red mole been covered up, but your complexion has also become much whiter."
"This is the effect of rouge. It can make people whiter and change their faces."
Su Ningjie was shocked and asked, "Is this true?"
"Go call your third brother, and I will change his face."
Soon, Su Ningwen, with a confused look on his face, was pulled into the main hall by Su Ningjie and sat in front of Xiao Lingyu.
"Mother, I have prepared my third brother. Let's start the face-changing process."
Su Ningjie's voice attracted everyone's attention.
Su Ningwen's eyebrows were rather thin, so Xiao Lingyu used an eyebrow pencil to make them slightly wider. Her earlobes were thick and had beads hanging from them, which was very visually appealing. So, to divert attention, she added more powder to the corners of her eyes and cheeks...
"Okay, look at the third one, has he become more handsome?"
The three little ones quickly surrounded them, and Su Xingyi also stretched his neck to look over.
Su Ningwen covered her face with her hands and said, "Mom, I want to see it myself first. If it's too ugly, I won't show it to them. I need to wipe it off quickly."
Xiao Lingyu's lips curled slightly. He knew the importance of appearance at such a young age.
Su Ningwen hid in the room and used a bronze mirror to look at several angles. Only when the image in the mirror was no longer distorted could he see himself clearly.
After a while, Su Ningwen came out with a raised face, "Look, mother has made me look even better."
"Third brother, your eyebrows have become wider and look better than before."
"Third brother, your cheeks are as pink as mine now..."
When Su Xingyi saw Su Ningwen's face clearly, he couldn't help but praise him repeatedly and instantly understood Xiao Lingyu's intention.
Seeing that the children's attention was not on her, Xiao Lingyu came to Su Xingyi and whispered, "Xingyi, what's the matter? Even if we run into the people who persecuted the second and third brothers, it wouldn't be easy to suspect them just by their appearance."
