Chapter 26 Distinguished Guest



After Ning Ye finished arranging these things, he saw that Lin Qinshu and Xiao Qing, who had been outside all day, had also returned.

Although the shop has been purchased, it still needs to be tidied up before it can be used. Moreover, the opening day is a very important event, so there is no rush.

"My wife, you must be tired after a long day."

"It's not hard work, just some things to do in the shop. Once everything is sorted out, we can open for business. You must come then!"

Ning Ye nodded and said, "It seems that my wife is in a good mood. There is sweat on her forehead, but she doesn't seem to be tired at all."

Lin Qinshu blushed slightly. "You're making fun of me! I'm hungry, Xiaoyuan, is dinner ready?"

"I was already cooking when I got back, and it should be almost done by now. Since my wife is hungry, let's go eat first."

While Ning Ye was having a great time, Huang Shan was in a much less pleasant mood.

After what happened today, Huang Shan was ready to show Ning Ye his skills and let him know that he was reluctant to leave Qingyuan County, but he didn't expect his brother to come back.

If it were just my own brother, it would be fine, but unfortunately, my brother brought back a guest of great status.

To maintain a good image, his older brother gave him a strict order: he absolutely could not cause any trouble before the guest left, or even their father wouldn't be able to protect him.

At this moment, Huang Shan was sitting at the end of the table, and he was naturally very curious about this distinguished guest.

Sitting in the main seat, Huang Wancai, dressed in expensive clothes, was all smiles. "Young Master Chen has come from afar, which truly honors my humble abode."

At the banquet were two young men of the same age, who looked to be in their early twenties. One of them was dressed in a bright purple robe, with a handsome face and dignified appearance.

Regardless of the dynasty, anyone who could wear purple clothes must have a high social status.

Chen Mingjing said calmly, "I have come here to find an elder. I may be bothering you for a while, so please don't take it too seriously, Master Huang."

"Hey, what are you saying, Young Master Chen? I wonder who this elder you're looking for is? If you know their name, perhaps I can be of some help."

Chen Mingjing shook her head. "If my elder doesn't want to see anyone, it's no use even if you look for him. If he wants to see me, he will naturally do so, so Mr. Huang, there's no need for you to worry."

Huang He also spoke up, "Father, since Mingjing has already said so, then let's arrange our food, clothing, and lodging."

Huang Wancai then stopped talking about this matter and changed the subject to other things.

The meal was quite enjoyable for both the host and guests. Although Chen Mingjing wasn't very talkative, Huang Wancai, being a shrewd person, made sure the atmosphere didn't become awkward.

After finishing her meal, Chen Mingjing went out alone, not letting anyone follow her. Huang He was helpless about this, as his friend had a rather eccentric personality and didn't like having anyone around her.

As a result, he had no friends within the academy. Huang He was only after Chen Mingjing's powerful backing, otherwise he wouldn't have shamelessly clung to her.

In the Great Gan Dynasty, there were only five truly colossal families, one of which was the Chen family.

No matter how distant Chen Mingjing's bloodline may be, she is still a member of the Chen family and will surely be of great use in the future.

The only pity is that Chen Mingjing is not a woman; Huang He would be even happier if she were.

Over the next few days, Ningye was busy arranging for the newly recruited people to reclaim wasteland and replant crops, while also making arrangements for the opening of the soap shop.

Normally, it's not enough for a fairly large shop to only sell one thing. But in order to cater to these customers who are willing to spend money, you have to create a different feeling for them. Surely, how can you expect people to willingly buy from you?

As for these rumors, Ning Ye had already spread them far and wide. For the wealthy landowners in such remote areas, something that even the daughter of the Minister of Revenue had endorsed was an unparalleled honor.

In this age of information scarcity, no matter how much hype there is, no one will stand up and say it's all fake. They will only believe what they hear. Even if they are not allowed to buy, they will probably think that someone is trying to take it from them.

Before the soap even appeared on the market, word of mouth had already spread, and many people were curious about what it was all about.

As a result, now every day, there are people waiting outside the shops that Ning Ye selects. These people are mostly servants, all there to buy things for their master.

Seeing this, Ning Ye knew very well that his first wave had been secured and there would be no problems. As for what would happen next, that would depend on the effect of the soap and whether it would surprise these people.

Ning Ye was quite confident about this, after all, this was a kind of dimensional reduction attack, and who doesn't like to feel clean and fragrant?

Its powerful cleaning ability will make people fall in love with it after just one use.

Having chosen an auspicious day, Ning Ye was ready to officially open his shop, and of course, Lin Qinshu was the one to oversee everything.

Ning Ye knew he couldn't be in two places at once, so handing over some things as soon as possible wasn't a bad thing.

If Lin Qinshu can do it, then wouldn't you be more at ease than anyone else?

With a burst of gongs, drums, and firecrackers, the shop was finally ready to officially unveil its signboard.

The lively atmosphere gradually attracted people from the surrounding area, and as more and more people gathered, it was time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Ning Ye was also wearing a light blue outfit today. Without asking, it was clear that it was made by Lin Qinshu. Even though she was doing other things, Lin Qinshu still didn't forget to make Ning Ye a new outfit.

Ning Ye handed a pair of scissors to Lin Qinshu, saying, "Come on, my boss, it's time for you to cut the ribbon."

Having weathered many storms, Lin Qinshu would not be intimidated by this little thing.

After receiving the scissors, he pushed open the shop door. The employees who had been waiting there held two red ropes, which were connected to the shop's signboard.

Lin Qinshu took a breath and said, "Thank you all for coming to support me today. Whoever enters the store today will get a bar of soap for half price."

Although the onlookers didn't know anything about the soap, even at half price, many people would be deterred. But for those who could afford it, the chance to try it at half price would actually make them more likely to buy one.
