Beauty is beauty, and food is food.
If you come to a brothel, it would be a waste not to have dinner before leaving.
Looking at the table laden with several specialty dishes, the three women—mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law—couldn't help but feel their appetites whetted.
"Sis! Do you think all those men come here to enjoy this?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded. Before coming here, she had no idea that her husband was enjoying himself so much outside.
Although her man came just to listen to music.
Oh, no
Strictly speaking
Is it listening to someone else's music?
The type that focuses on companionship
But in terms of food
She had no idea these men knew how to enjoy themselves.
With her mouth full of squid, Miss He continued...
"If all the food in brothels is like this, I don't want to go home."
I had barely finished speaking when my sister brought me a chestnut.
"Eating can't shut you up!"
"Hey, have you guys considered turning this brothel into a restaurant? Let me tell you, sister, it'll definitely make money!"
He Qingzhu asked Chunying...
The courtesan also noticed that the young lady of the He family had an obsession with money; she would find a way to extract information from any area where there was profit to be made.
"That plan is out of the question. If we opened a restaurant, where would we sisters go? We'd really be adrift like duckweed."
The young woman realized she had misspoke, blushed, poured Chunying a cup of wine, and said...
"I'm...I'm sorry, I misspoke."
"It's nothing. It's a great blessing that you and the two ladies could come to visit me. I wonder how many sisters envy me."
Madam Zhang smiled, and the women clinked glasses and chatted happily.
At the adults' dinner table, the child is like a mascot.
The only thing I can do is eat.
Until the adults finished drinking
Chunying led the little dumpling downstairs from the group of ladies.
Upon reaching the counter, Mrs. Zhang said
"Deposit five hundred taels into the Zhang family's accounts."
Zhao Kai is in charge of both the manager and the accountant tonight. Fengyue Tower operates on a shift system, and tonight happens to be his shift.
Zhao Kai looked at Chunying, tilted his head slightly, and showed a puzzled expression.
Huh?
The lady came to deposit money for her husband who frequented brothels? He'd never heard of such a thing anywhere.
"This is money I saved for my aunties to get face masks~"
Zhao Kai was still confused and didn't quite understand the purpose of the money. When he heard the little dumpling mention the money for face masks, he simply wrote it down in the account.
"The building will be making wooden nameplates for the aunties tomorrow. All the ladies and aunties can just bring their nameplates when they come."
Although I haven't told Cen's mother about the brand yet, how can a beauty salon not have a membership card? People have already paid for it, so the card needs to be set up as soon as possible.
Only after watching the carriage carrying the Zhang family women disappear from sight did Huo Xiaolong and the others return to Fengyue Tower, heading straight to the backyard.
Chunying sent Ping'er to the Huo family to invite He Yi over as well.
"That's about it! Madam Zhang deposited five hundred taels into the building. Tomorrow, Mama, please send someone to make some cleverly designed little yellow wooden plaques with ten squares drawn on them. That way, we can draw one square each time they come. It's so convenient! It's easy to keep accounts for both sides, and the guests will know how many times they've come."
Looking at the chattering little girl in front of her, Cen's mother nodded.
"You little rascal, you're always the one trying to swindle money from the family."
Despite saying this, Mrs. Cen, who was actually holding the little dumpling in her arms, was all bark and no bite.
"Women and children's money is the easiest to earn! Mom, I feel like we're going to make a fortune!"
Before He Yi even entered the house, she heard her daughter's wish to get rich. She wondered who her daughter took after to be so obsessed with money.
If these words were to reach Cen's mother's ears...
Cen Ang must have held his head high and said to her
"Of course I took after my godmother; she's also my mother!"
"Let me see which little girl wants to make a fortune," He Yi teased, lifting the curtain.
"Mother~"
The little girl reached out her hand to He Yi
For Huo Xiaolong, life now feels like a dream. She can't tell if it was a dream from her past life or a dream from now on. This is what life tastes like, this is what it feels like to be loved. She can be spoiled and cry her heart out. She doesn't have to be cold to others or lick her wounds like a lone wolf in the lonely night.
She's very good at acting cute now.
Cen's mother told He Yi about what had happened that day, explaining that all the plum blossom ointment at Fengyue Tower was now obtained from her.
Firstly, the brothel simply didn't have the manpower to do these things.
Secondly, when it comes to money, whoever earns it is still earning it.
Let outsiders get away
It's better to let your own family earn it.
"Oh, right, Miss He was thinking of selling plum blossom ointment."
Chunying nodded and continued the conversation.
"I said the plum blossom ointment couldn't be taken out, but I saw that the young lady was quite insistent, so our Long'er told her that the ointment taken out wouldn't be as effective, and that's how we got rid of it."
After a moment of contemplation, Mrs. Cen said
"I remember that Miss He is the sister-in-law of Master Zhang, right?"
Yes, that's right.
"The Zhang family has a very good reputation in the border town. If we really want to do this business, they should be our first choice. Let's talk about this in a few days. When that young lady comes again, Chunying, bring her to me."
"Yes," Chunying replied.
"Why did my sister call me here?" He Yi asked.
"Your daughter has gotten you a big job. Madam Zhang has saved five hundred taels of silver for face creams, so I've come to discuss the profit sharing with you."
He Yi quickly refused.
"What's this about profit sharing? Once the plum blossom ointment is sold to the brothel, it's yours. How you deal with it is up to you, sister."
"You don't want it? You don't want your little Pixiu anymore? Look at her! When she heard you say no, her eyes practically turned into copper coins!"
He Yi smiled and looked down at her daughter.
really
I'm getting a little anxious.
"I don't know what you need so much money for."
She pinched the little girl's cheek; it felt nice.
"Three bottles of plum blossom ointment for one tael of silver are still the agreed price. From now on, all expenses for face creams will be six cents for Long'er."
"This won't do! Six points is too much, she..."
He Yi was about to say that her daughter hadn't done anything, but the words faltered before she could finish.
You say she does nothing?
That most crucial link can't be done without her.
What do you want me to say she did?
This kid really didn't do anything except practice his skills.
"Five points, okay? Sister, don't argue with me anymore, we're all so familiar with each other."
He Yi was worried that she owed Cen's mother too many favors and wouldn't be able to repay them in the future.
Cen's mother thought that the more complicated the relationship between the two families became...
The two families will become increasingly inseparable in the future.
At least for now, they can't be separated.
Huo Xiaolong: When you're in your mother's arms, money falls from the sky.
She originally thought she could get at most 30%!
A full 50%
Her little war chariot is almost finished; at this rate, in another two months she can go find a carpenter to make it.
The little dumpling reached out and hugged He Yi's neck.
He gave it a 'kiss'
"Thank you, Mother!"
He slid off He Yi and climbed onto Cen's mother, doing the same thing.
"Thank you, Mom!"
The two women were so soft-hearted that they became a group.
The maternal love emanating from her eyes became tangible.
He kept praising it.
The cold wind howled outside, but it couldn't stir up the warmth of family affection inside.
