Village head and Shen Changshou exchanged a glance: How could they not be tempted?
You should know that if you do this business well, you can earn tens of taels of silver a month!
Buying this recipe for fifty taels of silver means you can recoup your investment in just over a month!
Who wouldn't be tempted by this?
Uncle Village Head gritted his teeth and stamped his foot: "Qingyu, how about this? Forget fifty taels of silver, we'll give you one hundred taels!"
"Give us this recipe, and from now on, our eldest son's family will sell glutinous rice in Tongxin Prefecture, and our third son's family will sell glutinous rice in the neighboring Jiangning Prefecture. We promise we won't pass this recipe on to anyone else, okay?"
Shen Qingyu understood what the village head meant: he was afraid that if he gave too little money, people would gossip about him.
"That works!"
After the deal was completed, the village head and his family saved up one hundred taels of silver, which they immediately delivered neatly to Shen Qingyu.
Upon hearing this news, Wen Jin secretly asked Wen Che, "Brother, why did my cousin's wife give away such a perfectly good business deal?"
Xue Juzheng, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in admiration, "This is true wisdom!"
Wen Jin was confused: "Where is the cleverness? I don't see it."
Xue Juzheng glanced at Wen Che.
Wenche had no choice but to explain to his younger brother.
"I heard that this sticky rice is sold in all the major prefectures and cities. It's not complicated to make. In time, there will naturally be people who can make it better. You can't have an exclusive business."
"Besides, my cousin-in-law is so busy with her business these days, where would she find the time to make glutinous rice herself?"
"Focus on the major issues and let go of the minor ones; that's the idea."
There's an even deeper point. Wen Che thought for a moment and said, "Now, the people making and selling glutinous rice are Shen Dashou and his wife. Right now, someone is offering them money to buy them off, but they are unwilling to sell out their employer. If this goes on for too long and they refuse too many times, they might develop resentment... It would be better to settle this matter as soon as possible while the relationship is still there."
Wen Jin suddenly understood: "I get it, it means 'You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days'?"
Wen Che thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "What you said isn't entirely wrong."
The more you see through the human heart, the more you realize that clinging to things is meaningless, so it's better to let go.
Wen Che shook his head and picked up the scriptures.
Xue Juzheng saw this, sighed slightly, and turned to leave.
The village head went home and discussed the profit sharing with his children, but he didn't care. Instead, Shen Qingyu and her daughter Zhao Yuzhu began to practice making high-end soap.
The supplier of goat milk had already been found.
Qi Han even suggested that he could have someone send some ewes over to see if anyone in the village was willing to raise them, and if so, he could just milk them himself.
Qi Yunxiao decisively ordered the Hidden Dragon Guards to go and raise sheep.
Because of their great strength and efficiency, the Hidden Dragon Guards were better at farming than others, and they truly established themselves in the industry.
The bandits on Turtleback Ridge all made a living by farming, and their reputation gradually spread, so much so that some villagers were willing to marry the men from Turtleback Ridge.
Of course, if Qi Yunxiao secretly asked them to do other things, they would do them quietly.
The mother and daughter secretly tried to make soaps with various effects and colors.
The mold is easy to make; just draw the design and have someone carve it.
The effects are not difficult to achieve. Simply mix tea seed oil and goat milk in the correct proportions, and after making it, let it sit for a while to allow it to mature. This will make it even more effective.
This technological barrier isn't complicated at all!
So, the high-end soap that had been planned for a long time was put on the table.
When the milky white soap, packaged in a simple wooden box, was placed in front of Qi Yunxiao, he was somewhat dumbfounded.
"This is also soap?"
Shen Qingyu's eyes sparkled: "Yes!"
"This soap is expensive; it's for washing your face and body, and it costs three hundred coins a bar."
"If you add this box, it will cost 330 coins."
We are honest and fair to all, young and old. The price of the box can be calculated separately. If you buy it for your own use, you don't need the box. But if you are giving it as a gift, including such a box will make it look high-end and classy!
Qi Yunxiao picked up the soap, smelled it, looked at it, and squeezed it. After a while, he finally nodded: "This soap is really good! I think it will sell very well."
Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu nodded and smiled at each other.
How could something so useful and prestigious not sell well?
This high-end soap is where the real profit margin is!
“Great! We’ll start selling this after the holiday!” Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu made a decisive decision.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is here.
Everyone started making preparations early in the morning.
We have plenty of delicious food.
The various fruits that appeared in the space were sweet, sour, and juicy, and the children and Xue Juzheng ate them with their mouths full.
Doctor Mo was amazed by what he ate!
How can such delicious fruit be bought in the unassuming Shenjia Village?
Not only does it taste delicious, but I also feel so comfortable all over after eating it!
Just like a bean sprout...
The mad Taoist ate the fruit, his eyes glancing at Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu with a mixture of nonchalance and interest.
Both this mother and daughter have very strange destinies...
Even with the secrets of heaven obscured, he couldn't foresee their future.
However, the mother and daughter both had upright and auspicious appearances.
Well, perhaps it's because he has accumulated good karma that everything is going so smoothly for him.
If they weren't blessed with great fortune, how could their three children have such noble destinies?
The kitchen was bustling with activity. Xiao Taohua and Shen Dasong were busy chopping and preparing vegetables, while the accountants, Shitou and Mutou, were picking and washing vegetables.
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao were just thinking about how to send some goat milk soap to the Emperor and Consort Rong in the capital when someone came to the door.
It turned out to be palace guards who arrived.
Because they arrived secretly, Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao received them discreetly.
It turned out that it was because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and His Majesty the Emperor and Consort Rong were thinking of Qi Yunxiao's family, so they specially sent things over early.
Mooncakes, pastries, children's clothes, shoes, socks, toys, and all sorts of exquisite fabrics made in the palace...
It is clear that it takes into full consideration the needs of everyone in the family, big and small.
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao exchanged a glance, both thinking, "Isn't this a coincidence?"
Those goat milk soaps were taken away by the guards and sent to the palace as a reward for His Majesty the Emperor and Consort Rong.
Since everyone is here, we've prepared plenty of chili sauce, sweet potato noodles, and braised dried meat.
Of course, the guards had a long and arduous journey and couldn't leave that day. Asking them to stay for two days would also make it easier for Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu to prepare their things.
After the guards had some free time, they greeted Lord Xue Juzheng and then carefully examined the brothers Wen Jin and Wen Che. They then spent the rest of their time exploring the village and the resettlement area for displaced people.
Qi Yunxiao pretended not to see it and let them investigate.
With so many Imperial Guards, who knows how many of them were actually His Majesty's spies?
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu had already made up their minds: as long as I behave myself, you'll all be spies, and we won't be afraid.
However, Wen Che and Wen Jin had different mindsets. After being greeted gently by the palace guards, their backs were completely soaked with sweat...
