Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 224 Red Seal
Manager Zhou hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and then reported the progress of the makeup shop preparations.

"According to your instructions, we collected plum blossoms, camellias, narcissus, orchids, etc., but the types of flowers that bloom in winter are not many, and there are only twenty plum trees blooming in our Zhuangzi so far. The amount of daffodils and orchids is also very small, which is far from enough."

Su Yizhao nodded, which was expected.

The year before last, she spent more than 2000 taels to buy a Zhuangzi just to grow flowers and plants.

To make a powder, she has to extract the essence from the flowers, and also use pollen and medicinal materials to fill the powder, so the demand is very high.

After thinking about it again and again, she reluctantly spent more than 2000 taels to buy a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

In the past two years, the fried chicken shop has brought her a lot of profits. In addition to buying a Zhuangzi, Su Yizhao also bought a hot spring Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing near Xicheng, which cost close to 4000 taels.

That hot spring village, Su Yizhao plans to use it to grow vegetables in winter, not only for the needs of dignitaries, but also for his own fried chicken shop.

Such a large hot spring village is divided into more than 800 mu of fields, and more than 400 mu of land is a small forest.

The tens of acres of land near the hot spring mouth can't grow anything. The original owner built a house on it, just for leisure and hot spring use. In winter, you can live in Zhuangzi for a while, so you can have a warm winter.

Two months ago, Su Yizhao bought a three-entry yard in Wuyi Lane near Beicheng, and spent more than 3000 taels.

So far, most of the money earned in the shop in the past two years has been used by Su Yizhao to buy private property.

Now Su Yizhao still has about more than 4000 taels of silver in his hands, and the makeup shop has to invest several hundred taels in the early stage.

"The shop can be bought, but it needs to be quickly decorated according to my instructions. Although the cosmetics shop requires a lot of investment, it is relatively easy to earn money. If there are not enough people to pick petals over there, go to the village to hire them.

It is not the busy farming season these days, men, women and children are all doing nothing at home, and they can earn some money, presumably they will not be unwilling. "

Su Yizhao bought a lot of servants before, but when it comes to employing people, he still feels that there are not enough people.

If it wasn't for Yuerong and Yueqiu not being able to leave the mansion, she would have already sent them out to handle errands, how could she let them be sentimental and worry about gain and loss all day long in the mansion?
Although it is almost New Year's Eve now, it is not easy for ordinary people to earn some money, so how can they be willing to give up such a good opportunity?

Manager Zhou suddenly realized, and he couldn't help admiring: "Young Master is still smart, I need to change my mind quickly. I don't have to have my own people to do this job, and it's also possible to hire some short-term labor."

"I'm really reluctant to buy someone!" Su Yizhao said with a smile.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and discussed for a while about the workshop for making makeup.

"The recipes I taught before, have they all practiced well?"

Su Yizhao had a roommate in his previous life who liked to make some skin care products and cosmetics by himself, saying that he was worried about using the ones bought outside.

When the roommates are obsessed with these, they often buy some related books to read, and sometimes look for ancient books and ancient beauty prescriptions, and pull a roommate in the dormitory to make them together.

Although Su Yizhao has only participated in a few times, when he is bored, he will casually read those books and recipes.

She couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, her roommate's perseverance moved her back then, and she was asked to cooperate with her, otherwise she would have lost the money-making business now.

"I've checked it out, and it's very close to what you did, and I selected a few people to try it out, and the effect is not bad! Every type has been tested, and there is a kind of Yuyan ointment, the effect is very surprising , very skin-nourishing."

Speaking of this, Zhou Guanshi was also full of praise.

My young master even knows these things, and he has created as many as sixteen categories.

Su Yizhao was a little self-satisfied, "That's natural. There are several nourishing herbs in the formula of Yuyan Ointment, including pearl powder."

In fact, the most important thing is that she added a lot of camellia essential oil in it.

The essential oil of camellia can make the facial skin white, tender, smooth and elastic. Su Yizhao puts this essential oil a lot.

"There are also the porcelain vases, porcelain boxes, wooden boxes and gift boxes that I stirred before. Be sure to prepare enough. I will give you a month and a half, is it almost the same?"

Su Yizhao wanted to open the makeup shop as soon as possible, so that the income would be faster.

Manager Zhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, there is plenty of time."

"It's just that I'm going back to Beiyuan Mansion this time, and it will take two months at the earliest. I'll leave all these to you, you should work harder."

Su Yizhao thought for a while, and handed the leaflet he had written before to Manager Zhou.

"In the first half month of opening, you should print more than 1000 copies of this flyer, arrange more people, and distribute it everywhere in the capital. If you see someone, you will distribute it. Of course, forget it in the northern city."

Su Yizhao had some headaches, and the timing was not coincidental.It's just that she didn't have many flowers in her village before, otherwise she would have opened this cosmetic shop long ago.

And those flowers are seasonal, unlike the previous life, they are available all year round.Now that there are too many flowers, Su Yizhao will naturally not let this winter go.

"Remember! When you see those servants from big families who come out to buy, send out more copies, and give some small gifts for free."

The small gift was specially instructed by Su Yizhao before, and it will be packed in a smaller gift box for trial use, and it is specially given to the servants of those wealthy families.

Her makeup shop is on the mid-to-high end route, because the cost is not low, so naturally it won't be cheap.

There are cheap ones, but not many, only two or three.

"In short, the steps given to you before, you implement step by step, and watch the adjustments. If you are really undecided, please write to me."

Su Yizhao asked anxiously, and Manager Zhou responded to them one by one.

"The shop will be closed for a few days, and it will reopen on the thirteenth day of the first month. During this period, let everyone have a good rest. Each person will receive one tael of red envelopes, and several accountants and stewards will receive ten taels each."

It's almost Chinese New Year, Su Yizhao will not be stingy.

She didn't have time to celebrate the New Year with those servants who bought it, so she could only give some red envelopes.

In fact, what everyone wants is benefits, and whether she shows up or not is not that important.

"Young master, I am so generous, I will thank you on behalf of those servants."

Zhou Guanshi sighed in his heart, this young master is so willing.

In fact, the young master will give rewards from time to time on weekdays, ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred, this is the grandeur of the young master.

"This is for you separately. At the end of the year, the relatives in the family will come and go frequently. I am afraid that I will not have time to take care of it, so I will give it to you in advance. You also bring Zhu San's to him, and encourage me."

Su Yizhao first took out a red envelope and handed it to Manager Zhou, and then put another smaller one next to the account book.

Manager Zhou understood immediately and thanked him quickly.

It is very thin to the touch, needless to say, it is a silver ticket.
