Chapter 384 The Mouth in Ink Painting
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Huo Ran said solemnly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Mi took another nap. In the past few days of her marriage, Huo Ran had been tormenting her every night. This guy was really something; he looked quite thin, but she didn't expect him to be so well-endowed when he took off his clothes. Jiang Mi said she was quite satisfied.
“Miss, it’s time to get up. You haven’t been to the shop in ages, and you don’t even care about it anymore. You just love your husband and you’re all you do.” Mo Hua complained. “You don’t even care about Si Qin and me anymore. Not to mention us, you don’t even care about the old lady. I’m afraid there’s no one in this world you care about, except for the young master.”
Jiang Mi looked at her amusedly: "Why are you jealous? You're always the most lively and talkative girl. I don't have any worries about leaving the shop to you. By the way, how's everything at home lately? Nothing's wrong, right?"
In front of Mo Hua, Si Qin didn't mention Xue Lian, but Jiang Mi knew that Xue Lian probably hadn't made any moves, otherwise Si Qin would have told her long ago that after three days of intimacy, it was time to continue researching her shampoo.
Siqin nodded: "Nothing's wrong, everything is fine."
Mo Hua found it strange and asked curiously, "Didn't you just go back yesterday? What happened?"
Siqin and Jiang Mi exchanged a glance and said, "It's nothing. Miss is just worried that the old lady might not tell you something. We need to be more careful. Now, Miss, please eat something first, and then go to Moonlit Peak or Deep Alley?"
Jiang Mi thought about it and decided not to go to the alley. Now that she had decided to let her elder brother and sister-in-law manage the winery, if she kept going there, wouldn't it make it seem like she didn't trust them? That would make her sister-in-law suspicious.
"Let's go to Yue Shangshao." Jiang Mi's shampoo has already started selling. Many people are curious about this product, but no one is buying it right away, since the price of the shampoo is not very low.
"Manager." Manager Liu greeted Jiang Mi when he saw her. He hadn't seen Jiang Mi for a long time. Knowing that his manager had married the young master, he straightened his back even more.
"How have you been these past few days?" No one knew that Jiang Mi was the owner of this shop; otherwise, people in the capital would be astonished, especially those who were jealous of Jiang Mi.
"Business has been pretty good lately, as it always has been. It's just that people don't seem to have much faith in shampoo. Apart from some regular customers who buy it to try it out, most people are just waiting and seeing."
Jiang Mi wasn't in a hurry. Her target was the people in the palace. Once they started using it, others would follow suit. Jiang Mi's first target was the Empress Dowager.
"It's okay, I have other things to buy later. They'll come back to buy them sooner or later. How are the shower gel sales?"
Manager Liu had already prepared the accounts: "The shower gel is selling quite well, but most of the buyers are from wealthy families. Most ordinary people still come to buy our soap, and naturally, the best-selling item in the store is still the soap."
Jiang Mi has been neglecting soap lately and hasn't made any new scents in a long time. It seems she needs to find some time to make some new soaps.
"By the way, a young lady from the Zhao family has been coming by frequently lately, buying a lot of soap and shower gel, and even wanting to customize a scent. You haven't had much time lately, so I've been turning her down. Do you think I should agree to her coming again next time?"
Jiang Mi frowned and asked, "Miss Zhao? Which Miss Zhao? Could it be Zhao Zhilan?"
Manager Liu thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be that name. She also brought some young ladies with her, but we didn't see Miss Liu from the Prime Minister's family."
Jiang Mi sneered inwardly. Of course, she wouldn't see him. Liu Zijun was already struggling to protect himself, so naturally he couldn't come out and act arrogantly anymore.
"As long as she behaves herself and doesn't cause trouble, let her be." After all, she's just throwing money at us, might as well take it.
But this woman was always restless, and she instructed Siqin again: "Go and find out what Zhao Zhilan is up to."
"Yes." Siqin now has to take care of and help Jiang Mi manage the mansion and shops, as well as handle various odds and ends. She really has three heads and six arms.
Jiang Mi felt that she should still devote half of her energy to her family. Who knew if there were other people watching her at home, or if anyone in her family would do something disloyal because they looked down on her?
I need to clean my house thoroughly before I can focus on my work outside.
A woman nearby started berating the shop assistant: "Your company is really shady! It's one thing for the soap to get more and more expensive, but the shower gel and shampoo you sell are all things we can't afford. I finally saved up some money to buy them, and after using them, I got so many red spots all over my body. Aren't you just harming people?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Liu immediately rushed over to handle the matter. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened, and he was quite adept at handling it.
"Madam, your situation is quite normal. Everyone is different, and so are our situations. Others have experienced similar issues, which means the shampoo and body wash aren't suitable for you. If it's not serious, you can simply stop using them. If it's serious, you should see a doctor, and we can cover the expenses."
“Take responsibility? Take responsibility for what? How much money are you going to give me? No matter how much money you give me, I won’t be any better. I’m suffering and looking terrible. Where is your manager? I’m not talking to your employee. I’m talking to your manager.”
Manager Liu said politely, "Our manager is not here. I am not a waiter here, but the manager. If you need anything, please just come to me."
The woman snorted coldly: "You're just a manager, what can you do? Don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm a woman. Although I'm not some powerful lady, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Go ask around about me, Hong San Niang. If you dare to mess with me, I'll make sure you regret it."
Seeing that the woman was relentless, Jiang Mi knew that Manager Liu, being a man, shouldn't argue with a woman, especially since they were shop owners. If they went against their customers, it would damage the shop's reputation.
Mo Hua stepped forward to help resolve the issue: "Sister, you said there's something wrong with the products here, but why haven't I experienced any problems using them? So many people have bought and used them, and not many have had this experience as you. It's probably not that there's anything wrong with the products themselves, but rather that your skin is too delicate, which is why this happened."
The woman paused for a moment, then reached up and touched her face, her expression becoming more composed than before.
Mo Hua continued, "Sister's skin is delicate, so it's naturally different from ours. We rough guys can use anything without any problem, but it's different for you. You can't just use the common things we use; you have to use special ones to protect your delicate skin."
The woman touched her face, her expression softening considerably: "What you say is true. My skin is indeed quite delicate, and I take good care of it. I can't handle all this nonsense. But what are those special things you mentioned?"
Mo Hua glanced back at Jiang Mi, then smiled even more warmly at the woman: "Sister, these products are designed for delicate skin like yours. Of course, you can take some samples home to try. We won't charge you. Next time you come, please make sure to tell the staff that your skin is so delicate that you can't use ordinary products. You have to take good care of it."
The woman's emotions had been completely calmed down by the ink painting: "That's right, your guy didn't even ask. If I had known it would be useful like this, I wouldn't have bought those that hurt my skin. By the way, is yours more expensive?"
"No, it's all the same price. Sister's skin is just delicate, it's not a special case, so we should treat everyone the same. How can we charge more? But the ingredients in this one are gentler than others."
With just a few words, Mo Hua calmed the woman down and even got her to continue accepting Yue Shangshao's things. Jiang Mi nodded in appreciation; her two maids were truly remarkable in their own ways.
Siqin also said with a smile, "Mo Hua's mouth is really suited for business. No matter how unreasonable a person is, they will have to obey her."
Jiang Mi nodded: "Yes, keeping her in the manor to serve is a waste of her talents. I haven't finished making those things yet. It seems that I need to make some gentle things specifically for some people. However, everyone is different. We can only take care of most people. Nothing can be perfect."
Siqin understood: "Yes, some people understand, but some people will come to us for compensation. That's how it is in business. As long as most of our customers are okay, that's fine. Miss has already done her best."
After seeing the situation in the shop, Jiang Mi went back and started making some milder shampoos and body washes.
"System, do you have a secret formula here that everyone has used without any problems?"
Jiang Mi had only asked casually, but the system replied unexpectedly: "Yes, it exists, but you have to complete a task to obtain it."
"Really? What kind of mission is it? Tell me about it." Jiang Mi immediately became interested. With this secret recipe, there would be fewer troublemakers coming to her shop.
[The task is easy. As long as you can help reconcile the Emperor and Empress, I can give you this secret recipe.]
Jiang Mi found it utterly absurd: "What? Are you kidding me? I can't even see the Emperor and Empress, how can I bring them together? It's just meddling in other people's business, besides, it's their family matter, why should I interfere? Wouldn't I be courting death?"
