Chapter 295: Keeping the Suspense
Qin Eryong was disappointed and went home obediently to pick some fresh corn.
He had also made up his mind that no matter what Uncle Yun Hai and the others said, he would use Ye Beixiu's words to stop them.
After dinner, Ye Beixiu went straight back to the Song Mansion.
The time for the martial arts imperial examination was getting closer, and he had made sufficient preparations with Master Song, so he didn't feel as much pressure as in the early days.
Zhang Juexia had a simple lunch and then lay down to rest.
After waking up, my mind became clearer.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that if these young ladies and ladies only came to her house to buy some fresh corn tomorrow, wouldn’t this be a bit shabby?
She called Li Yun over and said, "Sister Yang, how are you doing with the gift box I asked you to prepare a few days ago?"
"It's already been prepared. I haven't even got a number yet. Madam, if you're free now, I'll go get it."
"available."
Li Yun came into the house with two Huas behind him, holding several wooden boxes of different sizes. He lined them up on the table for Zhang Juexia to see.
"When I went to choose, I asked the shopkeeper for one of each of the gift boxes I liked. Look, there are several of them, big and small."
Zhang Juexia looked at them one by one, asked Li Yun for his opinion, and finally decided on two patterns.
"Madam, I have made some of the creams you asked me to make. I asked Taohua to bring them here for you to take a look."
Taohua quickly brought back several bottles and jars. Li Yunxiang explained to Zhang Juexia, "These are moisturizing lotions and creams, and the others are whitening lotions and creams.
Madam, Doctor Liu's prescription is indeed good. I've tried this whitening lotion and cream for a few days. Do you think my skin has become whiter?
Zhang Juexia carefully examined Li Yun's face, which was indeed paler than a few days ago. He immediately had an idea in his mind, "Sister-in-law Yang, is this all you have done?"
"And some more."
"If it's put in this gift box, it can hold several sets."
Li Yun calculated in his mind, "A dozen sets should be enough."
"Okay, that's great. Go down to the street now and buy ten of the gift boxes we've chosen, each with its own design. And return the extra ones to the shop."
Li Yun was slightly stunned. Only after Zhang Juexia's urging did he react and said, "I'll do it right away."
Zhang Juexia was not idle at home either. She went to the shop in front, found Li Le, and asked him for a few more soap gift boxes.
Seeing Zhang Juexia wanted this, Li Le couldn't help but grumble a few more words, "Boss, this gift box is good, and the soap inside is exquisitely made. But if it's in our shop, people only ask about it, and few buy it."
"When I made this, I didn't intend for you to sell it. Putting it here doesn't make our stuff look classy."
"That's right. Actually, if I sell one of these gift boxes a day, I'll make more than I would from selling several bars of soap."
"Such a beautiful thing must realize its value."
Zhang Juexia asked the servant to help her move it to the backyard, and then told Li Le, "Prepare some more of these gift boxes. I will use them tomorrow."
Although Li Le had some doubts in his mind, he still nodded in response.
After Li Yun came back, Zhang Juexia and she packed the sets of lotions and creams into gift boxes.
Zhang Juexia circled the gift box, becoming more and more satisfied. "Sister Yang, how much silver should we sell this set for?"
Li Yun estimated the cost in his mind, "Madam, to be honest, the cost of making these things is not very high, but it takes a lot of effort."
"Then according to my sister-in-law, how much silver would be appropriate?"
"At least one ounce of silver per bottle, otherwise, it would be unfair to the gift box we gave you."
"What if we sell it to a wealthy lady?"
Li Yun nodded blankly, "Madam, you are really putting me in a difficult position. These ladies are very valuable. Are they?"
"They don't lack money, right?"
"Um."
Zhang Juexia had an idea in mind, "Sister-in-law Yang, let's go out again and buy some good cakes."
Although Li Yun didn't know what Zhang Juexia was trying to say, he still followed Zhang Juexia out.
Zhang Juexia bought several kilograms of high-quality pastries from the best pastry shop in Shunhe County.
Passing by a tea shop, he weighed a pound of tea before going home.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
The next morning, Zhang Juexia got up early and asked someone to clean the house inside and out.
Qin Eryong loaded two carts of fresh corn and entered the yard before the guests.
Zhang Juexia looked at them one by one and nodded with satisfaction.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to unload this fresh corn from the truck?"
"Wait a minute!"
"Is there any work I can do?"
"Nothing available at the moment, please go to the shop in front and wait!"
Qin Eryong hesitated for a moment, but still obediently went to the shop in front.
He asked Li Le, "What is my sister-in-law busy with?"
Li Le shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. "The boss has been busy since yesterday morning. It must be a big deal."
Qin Eryong really couldn't understand what big deal could come from just two trucks of fresh corn.
However, after learning from the lesson yesterday at noon, he held back what he wanted to say.
Li Yingyue invited all the young ladies and ladies to come to Zhang Juexia's house, and Zhang Juexia entertained them with great enthusiasm.
First we drank tea, then talked about all kinds of gossip, and then we talked about skin care.
Zhang Juexia quickly got to the point and called Li Yun over. He first praised her craftsmanship and then let everyone look at her skin.
Li Yun understood Zhang Juexia's good intentions and described to everyone how dark and bad his skin was originally.
She then showed everyone what her skin looked like, then rolled up her sleeves and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you look at my arms, you'll know I'm not lying."
"That's true. Her face and her arms are not the same color. Her face is obviously paler."
Then someone couldn't hold back any longer, "Mrs. Ye, what on earth is she using? Don't keep us in suspense, pick it up and let us see it."
"No hurry, the fresh corn should be cooked, why don't you all try some."
"Oh, Mrs. Ye, please stop being so busy. We'll definitely buy some fresh corn when we leave. Hurry up and get out the face cream and other things she uses."
"That's right, if it really works so well, we should buy some and try it out."
Zhang Juexia pretended to be embarrassed.
"Why, Mrs. Ye, are you worried that we can't afford it, or what?"
Zhang Juexia did not dare to offend these rich ladies and ladies, so he quickly waved his hand and asked Li Yun and the others to bring the things up.
Zhang Juexia introduced them to them one by one and persuaded them to try them.
