"Thank you for your appreciation! Please give me a name."
Ning Zilin took a look and said, "Just call him Bai Liu."
"Bai Liu thanks the master for the name!"
Bai Liu's luck was quite good. He was noticed by Ning Zilin at first sight. From then on, he would become the top leader in Ning's house.
The other Xiao Si were taken to choose from other Ning family masters.
Bai Liu immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, your steward is quite successful at a young age. We should spend more time managing the Ning family's possible sources of income."
"Source of income?" Ning Zilin frowned and thought about it.
A few days ago, Tangtang asked him to prepare to take over the soap business and the formula, but he was not ready to take over at that time.
But today, following Bai Liu's suggestion, he still thought about how his Ning family could survive normally, and he really had to accept Tangtang's soap business.
"Go and ask your sister to come to my study."
Bai Liu immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
Not long after, Ning Xiaotang came into the study: "Brother, are you ready to take over the soap business?"
"Sister, the soap business is just your way of making money. You gave me the formula, but what about you?"
"The soap business won't affect us. The soap business you're in is made possible by the formula and raw materials I provide, so go ahead and do it without worrying about me!"
"So, sister, what you mean is that we brothers and sisters can both start the soap business?"
"Of course. There are so many people in this world. How can one person handle all the business?"
"That's a relief. I thought my soap business would directly affect my sister's business."
"No, big brother, have you found someone to take over the formula?"
"Bai Liu, come forward. What do you think of him, sister?"
Bai Liu immediately bowed and said, "Bai Liu greets the young lady. Long live the young lady."
"Yes, that's right. Is he a servant of Master Ye?"
"Miss, Bai Liu is Young Master Ye's illegitimate son, but he currently has only one master, and that is Patriarch Ning!"
Bai Liu immediately bowed to Ning Zilin.
He understood very well the principles of being a loyal servant, which was to be loyal to his master and not do anything to embarrass his master.
Ning Zilin nodded happily, "From now on, my sister will be just like me. I will tell her everything I know!"
"Yes, Bai Liu will remember this."
"Since Bai Liu is Big Brother's personal advisor, let him come to my courtyard to learn for a few days so that he can easily manipulate the soap formula in the future."
"You've worked so hard to raise me, my sister."
Ning Zilin saw his sister, a little girl as small as a bean, and the clever light in her eyes made her look more and more adorable the more he looked at her.
"Brother, you don't have to be so polite with me."
"Bai Liu, follow me."
"Yes! Girl." Bai Liu immediately followed Ning Xiaotang back to the courtyard. In the following few days, Bai Liu studied soap making seriously. When Bai Liu completed the soap making for the third time, it was already the afternoon of the sixth day.
"Girl, I succeeded again!" Bai Liu was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He stared at the molded soaps in the yard. Each one was fragrant, smooth and flat, with a pleasant aroma.
"Very good, you've worked hard these past few days, come down and have lunch!"
"Yes, young lady, but Bai Liu wants to report the results of the past few days to the head of the family now."
"Then~ you should go back to your big brother. I have nothing more to teach you." Ning Xiaotang glanced at Bai Liu and saw that he was also like a half-grown child, laughing excitedly and happily.
"Bai Liu, take your leave!" Bai Liu immediately ran back to Ning Zilin's yard with dark circles under his eyes.
"Master, Master, Bai Liu has successfully learned how to make soap!" Bai Liu immediately knelt down beside Ning Zilin.
The reason why he was so excited was that he knew that a bar of soap was worth six taels of silver. As long as he mastered the formula, his position in Ning's house would be extremely important.
So, Bai Liu was excited, and Ning Zilin smiled after hearing this: "Yes, I was right about you!"
Then Bai Liu started making soap in Ning Zilin's yard, adding the spices he got from Ning Xiaotang into the soap one by one.
After a day, he finally saw the finished soap. "It smells good, it's really good!" Ning Zilin was very excited after seeing a yard full of soap.
At this time, the little maid came and said, "Master, the young lady wants to see you."
"Please come in!" Ning Zilin immediately said to the little maid.
"Yes, master," the little maid immediately went downstairs and led Ning Xiaotang into the house.
"Brother, I want you to open a shop and sell soap."
Ning Zilin immediately became worried when he heard this and said, "It might cost a lot of money to rent a shop."
"No, we're not renting a shop. We're going to buy one and use it as the Ning family's household. I'll pay for it."
Ning Zilin gasped, "Sister, what's the good of this? You can take your money as a dowry later, but how can you use it to supplement the household expenses?"
"Brother, as long as my mother's family is doing well, I can live a good life too. From now on, the Ning family's grandfather, grandmother, and everyone else in our Ning family will rely on you for management. Then, won't we have a profitable shop and business opportunities?"
Ning Zilin was speechless after hearing what Ning Xiaotang said.
"But this money is what I owe you. When I earn it back in the future, I will definitely pay it back to you!"
"Brother, as long as you have this intention, the matter of the silver is settled. Now let's go to Shuihe Town to look for a shop and reserve one as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's go now. Bai Liu, prepare the carriage."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Hai Moying was munching on melon seeds in the yard, saying with an unhappy look on his face, "You said my second son didn't even bother to fight for his position. He was supposed to be my second uncle, but he let that young brat Ning Zilin become the head of the family. How can we justify this?"
Mrs. Qian's eyes immediately turned: "You can't say that. Ning Zilin is our Fangcao's husband. Since Ning Xiaotang chose him, there must be a reason for choosing him!"
"Bah! How can you possibly go against a few truly manly uncles and fathers?"
The more Hai Moying thought about it, the more she felt she was being treated coldly. Why couldn't the man in her family be the head of the family?
It was not until Ning Xiaotang in the carriage did she realize that Ning Zilin had actually learned the soap formula in just one go.
"Big brother is really amazing, he actually succeeded in one try?"
"It's just luck."
We came all the way to Shuihe Town.
"There are many people coming and going on this street, but not many can actually afford our soap. However, as long as the soap is well made, repeat customers will definitely tell each other about the soap. I'm afraid the shop will have more customers."
Ning Xiaotang said as she stared at a shop selling goods.
"Sister, are you planning to buy this shop?
I saw a lot of people outside, but no one came into this store."
