Chapter 42: Busy Making Money
Jiang Yuyan has been very busy lately. There is probably no woman in the entire Dayue Kingdom who is busier than her. Back when she was in modern times, she didn't even want to join the Gu Group, but after traveling to ancient times, she became a busy person!
She was first a designer, she had to keep looking for inspiration, drawing designs for jewelry and clothing, and secondly, she was the owner of several shops and farms, responsible for the progress of the restaurant renovation, and also had to renovate the soap workshop. Fortunately, Xiao Yuanyan and Jiang Yi helped a lot, otherwise she would be too busy to handle everything.
She took Jiang Yi to buy materials and experimented several times before finally making a decent soap. Jiang Yuyan also designed a set of equipment for essential oil extraction to facilitate the production of soap.
Qiuxia Manor was completely transformed by her into two parts, one for making essential oils and the other for making soaps and perfumed soaps.
In order to keep the formula confidential, she specially re-examined and re-arranged all the personnel.
Those who had been sneaky and cunning in the past were driven out, and the remaining personnel were assigned only one step each, and they did not know each other. The core process was carried out by the more loyal old people who had signed the death contract.
The staff of Qiuxia Manor and Liuyun Manor were also disbanded and redistributed. Xie Jingyu also transferred new people from other places to prevent the old staff from forming small groups.
Jiang Yuyan was meticulous and avoided the possibility of formula leakage in the future from the source.
Xie Jingyu didn't know what Jiang Yuyan was trying to do in the beginning. When Jiang Yuyan handed him the finished product, a square solid, to wash his hands, his eyes widened and he turned it over and over in his hands.
This wash is so clean, so comfortable! And it smells so good!
Xie Jingyu's face flushed with excitement, and he picked up Jiang Yuyan and spun around.
"What is this called? It's much better than soap! Wanwan, you're amazing!!"
"Soap. The one I gave you is called soap, which can be used to wash hands and bathe. There is also a simplified version called soap, which can be used for daily washing clothes."
Jiang Yuyan couldn't hide her excitement. She finally succeeded!
"Qiuxia Manor will specialize in this from now on. It should make more money than dyeing cloth, right?"
Xie Jingyu walked back and forth excitedly, "Of course, I have a feeling that your soap will definitely replace soap and sell well for a month. But the formula must be kept secret..."
"Of course, you can trust me to do the job." Jiang Yuyan was proud and told Xie Jingyu about some arrangements of Qiuxia Manor.
Only then did Xie Jingyu learn the reason why Jiang Yuyan wanted someone before. He was surprised at her meticulousness, but still a little worried.
"I will ask Uncle Zhong from the palace to go and beat them up. Anyone who dares to leak any information about Qiuxia Manor will be sold out immediately." Xie Jingyu's expression became serious.
"Yeah!" Jiang Yuyan blinked, "Then I'll close the cloth shop on Guanyue Street and sell soap in the future, okay?"
"Okay, why not? You can arrange your shop."
Xie Jingyu scratched her hand and said, "Once you sell it well, I will help you sell it to various states in Dayue Country and make you the richest businessman in Dayue Country!"
"Okay!" Jiang Yuyan clapped her hands, "From now on, you will all be my freeloaders, haha~"
Xie Jingyu was stunned for a moment, then he also laughed and said lovingly: "Look at what you have accomplished!"
Xie Jingyu has a lot of businesses on hand. In addition to Qionghualou, he also involves some restaurants, gambling houses, tea shops, cloth shops, etc. He is good at running "chain stores". In the past, he had also left many things unfinished in order to pursue his wife and get married. As soon as he got married, he started to be away from home for three days and two days.
In order to ensure Jiang Yuyan's safety when she goes out, he specially left Ying Yi and Ying Er to her. Of course, many people in the capital now know Jiang Yuyan. They all know that she is from the Wu Wang Mansion. Who dares to mess with her? Occasionally, there are blind dandies who stop her from leaving, and Ying Yi and Ying Er can throw them two meters away with one or two moves. It's quite safe.
The restaurant on Guanyue Street was renovated soon. The interior of the restaurant continued the decoration style of Su Nian Jin Shi, which was fresh and elegant. It was out of tune with the entire Guanyue Street, but refreshing.
The first floor of the store is an ordinary restaurant with a waiting area at the entrance where waiters serve tea from time to time. There is a stage in the middle of the hall where storytellers come to tell stories every night.
The second floor is the VIP area with only six tables. There is a certain tea fee and minimum consumption to enter, but the windows on the second floor facing the street can all be opened, which provides great viewing experience.
The third floor is the private room.
Jiang Yuyan bought out several chefs, taught each of them a few recipes, and signed a "confidentiality agreement."
After completing the preparations, Jiang Yuyan returned to Prince Wu's Palace.
Prince Xie was a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy. He took the imperial examination and won the third place without relying on any influence from others. His beautiful calligraphy was praised by His Majesty and his reputation spread throughout the capital.
She presented a "soap gift box" to the King of Wu and his wife, and a bottle of "essential oil" to Prince Xie, and flatteringly asked Prince Xie to write a plaque for her.
When the King of Wu saw that his daughter-in-law treated them kindly, he began to feel a little bit of a fatherly concern for her and quickly asked his servants to bring him writing materials.
Xie Jingyan was gentle and elegant, with a faint smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, the four big words "Shang Restaurant" appeared on the paper.
Jiang Yuyan took a closer look and saw that the writing was vigorous and powerful, with a natural style that seemed to float like clouds and be as agile as a startled dragon.
"Wonderful! The prince's handwriting is truly breathtaking!" Jiang Yuyan clapped her hands in applause.
Xie Jingyan's ears felt hot. Just now, when she came close to him, her breath just brushed past him, almost causing him to lose his strength to write. He lowered his head slightly, "Sister-in-law, you are too kind! But why do you call me by this name?"
Jiang Yuyan was silent for a moment. In the past few days, she had sent people to inquire about Qin Shangyu and also sent letters to Qin's mother's "You Mansion", but she had not received any reply.
Later, Xie Jingyu found out that the Qin family seemed to be interested in marrying into the Ji family, the richest family in Dayue, so Jiang Yuyan quietly gave up the idea.
"If we don't meet in this life, we will be as far apart as the sun and the moon." She murmured softly, feeling very sad.
Xie Jingyan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her obviously depressed mood, so he stopped asking questions and asked someone to collect the calligraphy and send it to make a plaque.
Jiang Yuyan hurriedly thanked him and invited her parents-in-law and the prince to come and celebrate on the opening day. Everyone naturally agreed with a smile.
