Chapter 187: Qingyuan County Magistrate Falls
There are many firsts in life, and each first time is of great significance. Su Yi just wants to share his joy with the most important person.
Su Wan was very touched. She carefully picked out two sets of clothes that she liked, and also picked out two sets for her mother, her aunt, and Qingqing.
The prices were not the most expensive, but not the cheapest either. It cost him dozens of taels.
After leaving the clothing shop, Su Yi wanted to take her to the jewelry shop. Su Wan didn't want her fifth brother to lose money, so she refused to go with him no matter what.
She went straight to the grain and oil shop to buy rice.
He bought 30 dan of rice at one time, which amounted to 3,600 jin. It was not a big number and could be bought in a grain and oil store. He also bought an additional 1,000 jin of flour, which cost him a total of more than 300 taels of silver.
Su Yi didn't know why Su Wan wanted to buy so much food at one time. He didn't ask because he knew that Su Wan must have his own considerations.
The food was delivered to the house, filling the granary. Su Wan then asked someone to build a fence in the backyard and raised more than a dozen piglets and a dozen sheep.
My uncle went to Qingyuan County and brought back a piece of news when he came back. It was said that the magistrate of Qingyuan County was suddenly dismissed from office and imprisoned. It was said that during his tenure, he was not strict in his administration and was unfit for the job, which led to complaints from the people of Qingyuan. His only son was addicted to raping women and was notorious. He was sentenced to exile three thousand miles away and demoted to slavery.
This is retribution. Now that the magistrate of Qingyuan County has fallen, my uncle's family can finally rest assured. They no longer have to worry when they return home in the future, and my cousin Qingqing can also choose a good husband with peace of mind.
It's true that Yang Qingqing is about to turn seventeen, and it's time for her to find a good family.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Wan asked his uncle to quickly transfer the household registration to Xiangzhou, and then choose a husband for Yang Qingqing in Xiangzhou.
Firstly, her uncle will have to help Su Wan with work in Xiangzhou for a long time in the future. Secondly, Xiangzhou is such a large area, and the residents living in this city are generally of higher quality and better family conditions. Even if she can't find a rich family for her, at least her family will not have to worry about food and drink.
The reputation of goat milk soap has become popular in Xiangzhou and is widely known in every household.
Nowadays, Xie Niangzi's shop sells hundreds of soaps every day, and several thousand soaps a month, far exceeding expectations.
The products are also selling like hotcakes in the surrounding counties, with at least a thousand yuan being sent to each place every month.
When the business expanded to neighboring Suzhou and Yanzhou, the workshop had to be expanded and staffed with more than 10,000 bars of soap produced on average every month.
Dyed goat milk soap and floral goat milk soap have the highest sales volume, while hair soap is rare and limited in quantity, so you have to queue if you want to buy one.
The most common goat milk soap is affordable for almost everyone in Xiangzhou.
The most common people use the first generation, and those who are slightly better off can spend a little more money to use dyed laundry.
Floral goat milk soap, specially designed for bathing and hand cleaning.
At the latest, next month, Su Wan will go to Suzhou to open a market, and open up the markets in Suzhou and Yanzhou within two months.
…
When the new county magistrate of Qingyuan County took office, my uncle took the household registration documents back to transfer his household registration. Now his family is also a city dweller in Xiangzhou Prefecture.
Because Yang Qingqing wanted to choose a husband, but they were living in the Su family now, which was not very convenient, so they thought of renting a small yard near the workshop and moving out.
When I have saved enough money in the future, I will buy a yard for myself and live there with my family in peace.
There was actually a courtyard house near the workshop, which was big enough for their family of four to live in. The courtyard was very clean, and the floors, walls, etc. were all made of brand new blue bricks.
Su Wan took his uncle and others to the dental clinic and asked someone to find out about suitable small courtyards on the two streets near the workshop.
There are many that meet the requirements. Siheyuan is the most basic building in Xiangzhou, but it is also divided into different levels. The newly built ones are definitely the best. The yard is very spacious and has everything you need, with separate doors and wells, making daily life very convenient.
There are three master bedrooms, two secondary bedrooms, a separate kitchen and woodshed.
The uncle didn't ask Su Wan for help, saying that he wanted to borrow money to buy it directly, because Su Wan's business was just starting out. He bought a house, set up a workshop, and bought so many slaves, all of which added up to several thousand taels. Now he was just barely making back his investment, so they were embarrassed to ask for help.
Their monthly salary is now twenty taels, which has been going on for two months. Together with the money they have saved, it is enough to rent the yard.
They chose a courtyard closest to the workshop. Su Wan was a regular customer of the pawnshop, so for her sake, they charged five taels of silver a month, with a minimum rent of six months, which was thirty taels.
If I buy this yard, the price is three hundred and fifty taels.
Of course, if they work hard with Su Wan, the bigger the business, the more money they will make, and their salaries will be raised gradually. They will soon be able to realize their dream of buying a house in Xiangzhou, and even buy a better yard.
Before coming to the Su family, my uncle and his family had never thought of becoming city dwellers, let alone settling down and buying a house in Xiangzhou.
His sister, brother-in-law and their family have not forgotten him and are still supporting him. Not to mention how nice a mansion he will live in in the future, it is already hard-earned to have the conditions he has now. Even if he risks his life, he will protect this property for Su Wan.
Su Wan, Su Chen, Su Yi, and Jiang Yu helped their uncle's family move to a new home, clean the house, and buy furniture. They did all of this by themselves. Young Master Jiang was even assigned by Su Wan to sweep the yard, and he did not ask anyone else to do it.
The secret guards who were protecting him in the dark saw this and watched their young master sweeping the floor seriously. It was the first time in history that he did this. The contrast was so great that they dared not look directly at him.
The uniqueness of this yard lies in the fact that there is a peach tree in the yard, which produces peaches every year. It blooms in spring and bears fruit in autumn, which is a beautiful sight.
This was also a convenience that Ya Xing deliberately made in order to please his financial sponsor Su Wan.
Su Wan made a signboard for his soap, and the three big words "Yuyantang" were printed on each piece of soap.
In addition to the prints representing the fragrance, the wrapping paper also has three small red characters "Yuyantang" printed on the upper right corner.
These three words have been approved by the government, and no one can use the Yuyan Hall signboard in the future.
The reason for doing this is, firstly, that it represents that the goat milk soap is an exclusive product of Yuyan Tang, and its reputation will be spread, which will be beneficial for Su Wan to open a store in the future. When he sees the three words Yuyan Tang, he will think of Yuyan Tang's goat milk soap.
Secondly, Su Wan has the secret to wealth, which is the recipe for the Jade Face Cream that Jiang Yu gave her. In the future, Yuyantang will also develop beauty and cosmetics business, and this Jade Face Cream will become the main signature item of the store together with the goat milk soap.
When Su Wan asked the agents to sell soap, they would put the words "Yuyantang" on the counter where the soap was placed, which made it more impressive.
When promoting your products, you must also use the Yuyantang signboard to make it deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
