Chapter 202: Yuyantang Opens with Great Fortune
Su Wan and the Su family were busy all day until closing time in the evening. All the 10,000 bars of soap they had prepared were sold out.
There are 6,000 bars of soap in the gift box alone, and the rest are sold in packages.
The basic goat milk soap and dyed goat milk soap given away cost more than 2,000 yuan.
Fortunately, the workshop still has a lot of stock, and they will be put on the shelves for sale tomorrow.
Su Wan finally calculated the total account to see how much he had earned today. In the end, he found that the total turnover had reached two thousand eight hundred taels.
Excluding the cost of raw materials, they estimated that they could earn a minimum of 2,500 taels.
If this continues, the revenue from goat milk soap has far exceeded her original expectations.
When she told everyone about today's profits, everyone was shocked. This was only the first day's turnover. If she continued like this, how much would she earn in a month?
"Su Wan, you are so amazing! I was completely stunned today. That lucky six gift box made me want to grab two sets myself."
Su Yun was really impressed. There was nothing wrong with Su Wan's business. With just a few words, he could make everyone itchy. It seemed that their business was losing money to gain reputation, but in fact they made a lot of money. Moreover, those customers seemed to be afraid of missing out on this bargain and were scrambling to get it.
"Sprinkle some water!" Su Wan adjusted her hair bun without any modesty.
"Yes, this Xiangzhou store alone is so popular. If they open branches in other provinces in the future, it will be amazing. Qingqing, you must study arithmetic with Wanwan well. Wanwan trusts you so much, you must not let her down."
When my uncle heard that he had earned 2,800 taels in one day, he couldn't hide his excitement.
He firmly believed that his daughter would live a better life if she lived with her niece.
"Dad, I know. Sometimes I feel that as an older sister, I'm not even half as capable as my younger sister. I feel ashamed, but fortunately, Wanwan doesn't laugh at me. I'm very happy."
Yang Qingqing was very satisfied. Su Wan gave her dignity. When she got married in the future, she could live a comfortable life with this dignity.
"Don't flatter me. The good business will only last for a few days. After these few days, most of the people in Xiangzhou Prefecture will have bought so much goat milk soap. It will take some time to use it up. After that, business may not be so good anymore. Uncle, hurry to the flower farm to see if there are any new flowers. Order a batch quickly. Only by launching new and fragrant soaps can we keep the customer base."
Nowadays, goat milk soap is a hot commodity in Xiangzhou. People have a collecting mentality, especially women. When they hear that a new rouge has been released, they can’t help but buy it. The same goes for goat milk soap. When a new fragrance is released, even if they haven’t used up their own at home, they will buy more. After all, some flowers have a short blooming period and are gone once they are sold out.
Su Wan is indeed an experienced person. She was like this in modern times. Whenever there was a popular color, she couldn't help but buy it. Many of them were only used once or twice, and they were all piled up there. Later, she traveled through time and space in a book. She often thought of the empire she had conquered, and before she had time to enjoy it, her heart ached.
At that time, one of her male colleagues laughed at her, saying that she only had a mouth, and she bought so many things, how could she possibly use them all?
"Okay, I'll go to the flower farm tomorrow, but there's one more thing I need to tell you. The demand for our goods is so great right now that we don't have enough manpower. If we want to hire more people, we don't know where to place them. The yard is also not big enough. It takes three or four days to dry the last batch of soap. Once the yard is full, we won't be able to make new soap during this period.
It just so happened that the family next door to the workshop was moving out. I chatted with them a bit when I had nothing to do. They were planning to sell their house to a real estate agent. I thought, wouldn't that be a good idea? When the time comes, we can connect the two sides. Their yard is big enough, and if we leave a few rooms after the connection, we can buy a few new people and never have to worry about having no place to live.
My uncle also works hard for the workshop and keeps an eye out for these potential problems.
Su Wan nodded thoughtfully and asked:
"Uncle, have you inquired about how much silver they want?"
"I've inquired. They bought it for nearly four hundred taels, and they've lived here for over ten years now. His second son has made some money from his snack business and is planning to buy a new courtyard, so he's selling this courtyard for two hundred and eighty taels."
My uncle has already inquired about these issues, and he also thinks it is appropriate, otherwise he would not have mentioned it to Su Wan.
Su Wan also discovered the problems his uncle mentioned. The new arrivals Chao Yun and Biaozi now have to squeeze together with Mangzhong and the others, which is not very convenient.
"Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow. If it's suitable, I'll buy it. Then, you'll have to take care of the yard. At the end of the year, I'll give everyone a profit."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. Wanwan, you're being too kind." Uncle waved his hands quickly.
Yuyan Hall was about to close when Jiang Yu's secret guard suddenly came over and bowed to Su Wan as soon as he entered the hall.
"Miss, our young master has seen that you have all worked hard today, and has set up a table of wine and food in the Moonlit West Tower. Please come over for dinner."
Indeed, everyone was busy all day today. At noon, we took advantage of the few customers and hurriedly ate a bite of food. No one has eaten until now. I guess everyone is too hungry.
"Then let's go. Today is our first day of business. Everyone has worked hard, so we should celebrate the opening. Let's go to Yuemanxilou and have a meal."
After Su Wan gave the order, everyone was naturally happy to follow, but Chao Yun and Biaozi took the initiative to say that they would not go and wanted to go back early to rest and prepare for the opening tomorrow.
Su Wan was also a considerate boss, so he gave them two taels of silver as a reward and told them to buy some food they wanted to take back. He guessed that Grain in Ear had also left some food for them.
"Thank you, sir."
"No need to thank me. Just do your job well and be smart. There will be many more rewards like this in the future." Su Wan waved his hand and told them to go back first.
Chaoyun and Biaozi were very grateful. How could they have met such a master? In the few days since they came here, the sisters in the yard only praised how nice the Dong family was and how much they respected them. They all said that only here did they experience for the first time what it felt like to be a human being with dignity, and sometimes they could even forget their status as slaves.
Yuyan Hall closed its doors, and Su Wan took her mother's hand and went to Yueman West Building. Jiang Yu had prepared a full banquet for everyone.
Su Wan made a lot of money today, but she didn't take advantage of the meal. She was happy in the evening and drank a few glasses of plum wine, and was actually a little drunk.
Finally, she insisted on giving Manager Luo twenty taels of silver as today's meal money, and no one could persuade her otherwise.
Shopkeeper Luo was helpless and didn't dare to answer, so he could only look at Jiang Yu for help.
Jiang Yu stood at the back, while Su Wan was supported by her mother and Yang Qingqing. He looked at her with gentle and doting eyes, with a smile on his face. When he received the gaze from Shopkeeper Luo, he nodded slightly, and only then did Shopkeeper Luo dare to take the hot silver.
Only then did Aunt Su leave with satisfaction.
