Chapter 223 224. Lin Aijiao
Jin Qianqian sat comfortably in the yard, drinking the tea that Qingmei had just brought over.
"Do you regret it?"
Liu Qingmei shook her head. "Although I envy Qingzhu and Qinglan's abilities, I feel lucky to be able to be with my wife."
Ever since Jin Qianqian trained Qingzhu and Qinglan, she has left many things to them and housekeeper Fu.
"You're getting sweeter and sweeter now. But even though you've made me happy, I still have to learn what I need to learn." Jin Qianqian pointed at the account book that Xiao Dongzi had just handed over, "You don't want to be inferior to a child, do you?"
Liu Qingmei's scalp tingled. "I really can't compare to her, Madam. If you compare me with Mrs. Huang, it's fine. But if you compare me with Shopkeeper Xiao Hu, isn't that putting Shopkeeper Xiao Hu in a bad light?"
Jin Qianqian was amused by her words, "Looking at your little ability, you don't need to do anything. Hu Dong has sent the account book to me. If I don't take a look at it, it seems that I am not worthy of his efforts during this period. After all, he has spent so much time keeping the account.
Take your account book with you now and do a careful calculation."
Liu Qingmei pointed at herself and said, "I, Madam, I can't do it. Although I can count, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake."
Jin Qianqian shook her head. "It's because you might make mistakes that I asked you to review it."
“???” Liu Qingmei felt that her brain was not enough again.
Jin Qianqian didn't explain to her and waved her hand, "Go ahead."
Watching Liu Qingmei walk away with the account book, looking back every few steps, Jin Qianqian picked up a pen and paper and started scribbling.
At this time, Butler Fu came in with Xu Dawang and the others. "Madam, the Li family has sent furniture over. Do you think they will send it directly to the workshop?"
Jin Qianqian looked up at him and asked, "Have the kangs in the workshop been set up?"
“Most of them are done, but a few are still drying.”
"Then send all the things over directly, and urge the embroidery shop to make the clothes and quilts quickly." Jin Qianqian wanted to make it more perfect as she thought about the date that had been chosen to start work and it was getting closer.
Butler Fu quickly responded, "I'll go and urge them later, but the furniture and rooms are ready here, do you want to go to the manor to pick them up first?"
"It's better to take it over first. This workshop needs manpower for many things. But you should have people arrange everything there, so that there won't be a shortage of this or that later..."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Huang hurried over to open the door.
"Madam, there is a woman outside the door looking for you. She said her name is Li Aijiao." Mrs. Huang came in after a while.
Jin Qianqian immediately thought of the small shop that was now used as a temporary dormitory. Although she was puzzled as to why the other party came at this time, she asked Mrs. Huang to invite him in.
"It seems that I have come at a wrong time. I am sorry to disturb Madam Gu." Lin Aijiao looked at the servants in the yard who were still answering, apologized and smiled at Jin Qianqian.
"As long as you are here, you are an honored guest. There is no need to bother you.
Please come and sit here. How come you have time to come and see me today?" Jin Qianqian looked at Lin Aijiao, who looked more haggard than before, and walked up to her quickly, holding her hand and said.
"I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but I was always busy with some chores at home. Today I finally had some free time, but I ended up disturbing you anyway."
"Sister Lin, if you say that again, I'll be angry. After all, we are neighbors. Just come and visit if you have anything." Jin Qianqian patted her hands. She had hurried south before the New Year and had no idea what happened to Lin Aijiao afterwards.
"Actually, I came here today to ask for something," Lin Aijiao looked at Jin Qianqian apologetically, "Is your workshop going to start work soon?"
Jin Qianqian nodded. After all, there was nothing to hide. People nearby should have heard about it.
"It's about making soap!"
Jin Qianqian was a little surprised. Has this news spread?
"Actually, this is what my cousin told me. You may not know him, but as soon as I mention her youngest son, you should know who he is." Lin Aijiao smiled, "My cousin Lu Ping, you should know him!"
"You and Lu Ping are cousins?" Jin Qianqian was a little confused, "Then you..."
"You mean the last time, why didn't you ask my cousin for help?" Lin Aijiao shook her head, "At the time, I thought it was fine as long as I could get away with it, and I didn't want to waste all the money I worked so hard to earn.
But those people were too greedy. After dividing my dowry shop, they also wanted to use my dowry. I had no choice but to ask my cousin for help.
I lived in the capital for a while, and I happened to hear my aunt and cousin talking about you two, so I know all this."
"So you're coming today?"
Lin Aijiao smiled bitterly, "After I brought up my aunt's identity, my husband and his family finally dared not to make any more small moves. But we were also fed up, so we took this opportunity to completely divide the family.
We didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so we moved to the next county and started over.
How can it be so easy to just find a new foothold in a place?
I'm in the same situation there, I opened a cosmetics shop again, but the business is not enough to make a living, so I have no choice but to come to you for help."
Jin Qianqian thought that there were still some soaps piled up in the yard from her previous experiments. Cleaning them out now would save the trouble of moving later and would also help Lin Aijiao.
"Sister Lin, it will take some time for this soap workshop to open, and it's already been fully booked."
Lin Aijiao looked a little disappointed, but she still forced a smile, "That's okay, I'll come over again when I have the chance."
"Sister Lin, please listen to what I have to say first." Jin Qianqian said quickly, "Although the workshop has not started production yet, I made some myself before. The quantity is not large, and the style is a little different, but the quality is not bad. Do you want to take them over first?"
"This," Lin Aijiao's hands trembled with excitement, "Is this really possible?"
Jin Qianqian nodded and said, "Come on, I'll take you to have a look first. If you think it suits you, we can talk about it later."
"I agree, I agree. Now my small shop can be saved." Lin Aijiao knew that the grocery store owned by her cousin's mother was saved by the momentum of these soaps.
She had been in the capital for some time, so she naturally knew everyone's crazy about this soap, and it was in serious shortage now. If her shop could have this treasure, sales would increase immediately.
Jin Qianqian pushed open the warehouse and saw three or four hundred bars of soap neatly stacked in the corner, as well as more than a hundred bars of scented soap. "It's not a lot, but it's what I can afford now."
Lin Aijiao held Jin Qianqian's hand tightly, "Sister, I don't know how to thank you. If you were not a girl, I would marry you."
Jin Qianqian: "." Why does this sound so wrong?
