Qiao Zhongguo was a man of action. The next day he sent someone to the relief hall and asked Madam Liu to go with him.

Madam Liu has dealt with Madam Rong from the relief hall many times, so it would be easier to let Madam Liu come forward.

When Rong's mother heard that the Qiao family was not only willing to continue to provide generous financial support to the relief hall, but also willing to arrange a way out for the older children, she couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude.

Because there were so many children and each had different personalities and talents, it took half a month just to teach them according to their aptitude.

After the final screening, only two or three children were able to concentrate on their studies, and more children chose to learn a craft.

After hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo felt heartbroken.

He actually understands what these kids are thinking.

The road of studying is long and may not necessarily lead to success in the future, but if you learn a skill, you can not only make money early but also give back to the relief hall as soon as possible.

They are all good kids.

What surprised Qiao Zhongguo was that among these children there were five children with good potential in martial arts. When asked, they all said they were willing to come to the Qiao family to learn martial arts.

After these actions, the relief hall was completely renovated.

Mother Rong has a smile on her face all day long and has more time to take care of the younger children.

Qiao Jiaojiao didn't know about this.

She also planned to save as much of her private money as possible, and when she could speak again, she would tell her parents about her plans and help those children.

She was still thinking about the three recipes, repeating them every day:

[I wonder if Big Brother has gotten the soap out yet? ]

Under the baby-sweeping urging of Qiao Jiaojiao, Qiao Tianjing was very busy.

He had to attend court and handle his own official duties, oversee the testing of recipes, and manage Qingzhou's business. He looked thinner and thinner.

One afternoon, Qiao Jiaojiao had just woken up from a nap when she heard the voices of her family members talking.

"Mom, take a look, isn't it the same soap as Meng Guxue's?"

Qiao Jiaojiao was sleepy and vaguely saw Qiao Tianjing handing a round piece of soap to Mrs. Qiao. She sat up instantly and all her sleepiness disappeared.

[Ahhh! The soap is made, right? Big brother, I want to see it too! I want to see it too!]

"Brother...Brother...Brother..."

As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao's inner voice sounded, the Qiao family knew that she had woken up.

Qiao Tianjing leaned over, picked up Qiao Jiaojiao, and handed her a bar of soap.

"Little sister, you can't eat this."

Qiao Jiaojiao: “…”

[Huh, big brother, do you really think I'm a kid who knows nothing? ]

[Wow, this milky white color looks really delicious...]

Qiao Tianjing: “…”

Little sister, although you are very smart, you are still a child.

Mrs. Qiao took the soap and tried it, and after a while she came back with a happy face.

"It's very good to use. It's smoother and easier to lather than the soap Miss Meng gave me."

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, the soap had been made a few days ago, but as a perfectionist, he asked the master to try it a few more times until he found the most satisfactory one and then presented it to his parents.

"In this case, we can prepare to do it on a large scale."

"Mother, please take another look at these two things."

Qiao Tianjing reached into his lapel and took out two small porcelain jars. Qiao Jiaojiao immediately smelled a fragrance.

"Mom, this is the lipstick mentioned in the recipe. Look at the difference between it and lip balm."

"As for this perfume, it's not difficult to make, but the difficult part is how to preserve it."

Mrs. Qiao was also a woman who loved beauty. When she saw the lipstick and perfume, her eyes lit up. She took them away to try them, and when she came back she looked very satisfied.

“These two things are going to be big sellers!”

Mrs. Qiao said with certainty.

"It would be better if there were more lipstick colors and more scents of perfume."

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but grin when she heard that.

[It is indeed a woman's nature to love beauty. My mother's words really hit the nail on the head! ]

[Whether it's the color of lipstick or the smell of perfume, there are so many categories. I really don't know the details. I have to let you figure it out yourself! ]

Qiao Tianjing smiled and said, "My son has hired several very skilled craftsmen at a high price. They are already working on mixing other colors and flavors. They even have soaps in a variety of scents."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't help but nod in admiration.

[I never knew my eldest brother was such a good businessman! If he can’t make it in the government, he should just become a business tycoon!]

[Pah! A hexagonal all-round genius like my brother must be very successful in the officialdom! ]

[Alas, I am just worried that big brother is too tired. Look at his handsome face, the edges and corners are becoming more and more distinct. If big brother sees how thin he is, I will definitely feel distressed! ]

Speaking of this, even Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but worry.

"Da Lang, you've worked hard during this period. You're getting married in a few months. Don't be too tired."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing hurriedly comforted Madam Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao, "It will be tiring at first, but once the masters' skills mature and everything is in order, it will be easy."

"My son plans to start this business in Qingzhou first. After all, the market there has been almost sorted out."

"Besides, Meng Guxue is in the capital. She gave her mother some soap a few days ago. If better soap suddenly appears in the capital, I'm afraid she will suspect our Qiao family."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she gave Qiao Tianjing a thumbs up in her heart.

[Yes, I think so too! Although Meng Guxue is a bit stupid, she is the heroine after all, so we can't underestimate her. ]

[And if these things become famous in Qingzhou and then spread to the capital, the price will have to go up because of the long journey! ]

[Woo woo woo, I'm so greedy, wow wow wow, so much money! ]

When Qiao Tianjing heard these words, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

Look at how clever my little sister is. When she grows up, she can naturally become a hands-off boss.

By then, I might be the richest girl in the world!

Time passes smoothly with the efforts of the family.

Half a month later, unprecedented soaps, lipsticks of various colors, and perfumes with special and charming smells suddenly appeared on the market in Qingzhou.

Because of the limited quantity, they were quickly snatched up by the dignitaries in Qingzhou.

However, all the ladies who had used it praised it highly and paid for it, and its reputation spread quickly.

By this time, it was the beginning of May and Jiaojiao was nine months old.

During this period, she couldn't help but become anxious because the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet was about to come, and in the original book, that day was the day when the silly white sweet girl died!
