Although the cleaning and cosmetics workshop also uses an assembly line for production, these jobs still require a certain level of technical skill.
Therefore, these people also need to undergo professional training in order to produce qualified products.
These are technically complex things that only Yan Qingqing knows how to do.
Therefore, Yan Qingqing had to personally teach every step of the process.
Especially during distillation, it is even more important to control the heat.
So it took a month for the cleaning and chemical workshop to get back on track and barely be able to produce qualified products.
Yan Qingqing travels between Canghe Village and Dayang Village every day. She never puts on airs and is loved by the workers in the workshop.
Just when Yan Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, the manager from the garden requested an audience.
Yan Qingqing sighed and said, "Let him in."
The garden manager, surnamed Lü, was specially hired by Yan Qingqing. Like Old Man Zhang, he was a flower fanatic who spent all his time in the garden.
However, this Steward Lü is a specialist in flower cultivation, and he takes exceptional care of the flowers in the garden.
Even the layout of the garden has been slightly altered, making it appear more layered than before.
Even Yan Qingqing thought it was better than her original design.
This person has a specialization in their field. If this were in modern times, they would be a master gardener. In the end, Yan Qingqing is the one who benefits, so she is naturally happy to see it happen.
After Manager Lü entered, he first bowed to Yan Qingqing.
Yan Qingqing smiled and said, "Uncle Lü, there's no need to be so polite. What brings you here? Is there something going on at the garden?"
Manager Lü was not young, and he also had some real skills, so Yan Qingqing always respected him and called him Uncle Lü.
Manager Lü quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Mingzhao, you flatter me. I really don't deserve to be called Uncle by you."
"I, Lü, am unworthy, and I have come here today to resign from my position as manager."
Yan Qingqing was somewhat surprised to hear this, wondering why he would quit his job when he was doing so well. Could it be that he had been mistreated by someone?
But probably not. The Li family is all very busy; no one has time to wander around the garden looking for trouble.
He was in charge of the garden, and everyone under him listened to him.
Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing glanced at him without showing any emotion, and seeing his indignant expression, she smiled and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. If Uncle Lü insists on leaving, I naturally dare not force him to stay."
"I just don't know what will happen to my garden flowers now that Uncle Lü is gone. Although there are other people taking care of them, there are very few people as skilled in gardening as Uncle Lü."
After saying that, Yan Qingqing sighed.
Seeing Yan Qingqing's sincere expression, Steward Lü was somewhat moved and unconsciously said, "Since Master Mingzhao has already sent people to pick all the flowers in full bloom in the garden, there is no need for this old man to show off here."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqing immediately understood that Steward Lü's inexplicable anger was directed at her.
Yan Qingqing still wanted to keep Steward Lü, since high-quality flowers are much more effective for making flower tea and skincare products.
So Yan Qingqing asked again, "Uncle Lü, do you think it's a pity to pick those flowers when they are in full bloom?"
Manager Lü was a flower lover, and he was heartbroken to see so many flowers being picked. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed to resign, since the Li family was known for its excellent treatment of its employees.
Seeing Steward Lü nod, Yan Qingqing asked again, "Then what do you think will happen to these flowers in the end?"
After thinking for a moment, Manager Lü replied, "After the flowers have faded, they will naturally fall into the mud and become fertilizer to nourish the soil and provide nutrients for the next generation of flowers."
Yan Qingqing nodded and replied, "That's it. Since everything will eventually return to dust, I'll now order people to pick them and make them into flower tea and skincare products so that those who use them will receive real benefits."
Isn't this another kind of continuation of these flowers?
Manager Lü fell silent after hearing this. From Yan Qingqing's perspective, there was nothing wrong with what she said, but he still felt sorry for the flowers.
Seeing this, Yan Qingqing said again, "Uncle Lü, I respect you very much, but if you are someone who can work with me in the same direction, I will naturally be grateful."
If you feel that I have wasted your hard work and want to find another job, I will not stop you.
But I still believe that enabling these flowers to realize their full potential is the key to extending their lives.
After listening, Steward Lü pondered for a while, stood up, bowed to Yan Qingqing, and said, "Please forgive me, Your Excellency Mingzhao, it was my shallowness that led me astray."
You're right. If these flowers could be used for greater purposes, it would be far better than simply being admired and eventually turning into mud.
Seeing that he had come to his senses, Yan Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Their family doesn't lack businesses, but they lack talent, especially professional talent.
Both workshops and shops are in short supply.
It feels like if any part of it is broken, it won't function properly.
This is also something that is currently giving Yan Qingqing a real headache.
The industry is developing too rapidly, and the talent pool cannot keep up. This is also why Yan Qingqing is not currently planning to expand the industry on a large scale.
After seeing Steward Lü off, Yan Qingqing thought she could finally have a good rest.
Before we could even take a break, Guo, the manager of the buffet restaurant, came again.
Since the Li family opened their buffet restaurant, it has been packed with customers every day.
Although buffet restaurants have low profit margins, they can still make a lot of money.
Therefore, Yan Qingqing had no choice but to see Manager Guo. With a helpless sigh, she stood up and walked towards the flower hall.
After exchanging greetings with Yan Qingqing, Manager Guo directly explained his purpose.
It turns out that as the weather gets warmer, some foods, especially meat, can no longer be stored.
It gets stale after a while.
However, it's not realistic to buy more if there's a shortage here.
Manager Guo was very troubled by this. After discussing it with the managers in the store, they all felt that the best solution was to use ice.
Chill these ingredients, especially meat, in ice water; low temperatures can help preserve them for longer.
But ice was very expensive these days; only the wealthy and powerful could afford it.
Their restaurant already has very low profit margins. If they were to buy ice to preserve the ingredients, they wouldn't be able to make any money; in fact, they might even lose the entire restaurant.
Finally, when all else failed, Manager Guo came to find Yan Qingqing.
Yan Qingqing felt no pressure after hearing this. If it was a problem that could be solved with ice, then it was definitely not a problem, because she knew how to make ice.
Two years ago, because the weather was too hot, she made her own ice cubes.
Not only could she do it, but Yuan Huiniang could too.
After finishing his sentence, Manager Guo added, "It's all because of my incompetence that I've caused you so much worry."
Yan Qingqing waved her hand and replied, "Manager Guo, there's no need to blame yourself. It's not a big deal. I'll prepare the ice-making recipe and have someone send it to you later."
Just do as I say when the time comes.
Manager Guo was stunned when he heard this. Yan Qingqing meant that she could also make ice. This woman was too terrifying.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that she must have real skills to be granted the title of a third-rank imperial consort by the emperor.
