"Grandma, Her Majesty the Empress sent someone to tell us to make more soap, saying that Westerners should take it back and sell it."
Ping'er said with a face full of joy.
Upon hearing this, Sister Feng's eyes lit up, and she almost dropped her teacup: "Really? This is fantastic news! If foreigners take a liking to our soap, won't our business increase several times over?"
She immediately stood up and paced back and forth in the room, her mind racing: "Go, tell the craftsmen in the workshop to work harder these next few days and make sure to produce as much as possible."
"It's not easy for foreigners to come all this way, so they'll definitely be transported by large ships. If they don't have enough manpower, they'll have to find more people, and they need to be discreet and reliable."
"In addition, we need to work on a few new styles, with a special fragrance that would be best suited to Western tastes."
Ping'er nodded quickly: "This servant will make the arrangements right away."

At first, he felt aggrieved, but as he watched the silver flowing into his own warehouse, he completely accepted his fate and even enjoyed it.
Feng Jie glanced at him, a half-smile on her face: "Second Master is quite diligent these days, he doesn't even care about the affairs of the manor anymore?"
Jia Lian waved his hand dismissively and said, "Qiang-ge'er and Rong-ge'er can handle the miscellaneous affairs in the manor. I'm too lazy to get involved."
Besides, our business is the priority; we don't have time to worry about those things.
Sister Feng gave a soft hum, but she was secretly quite pleased.
Jia Lian is now completely under her control and no longer dares to act recklessly as before. He only thinks about how to earn more money all day long.
