After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 12 Making Money
"No." Jiang Shishi used soft cotton to apply rouge on her face, "I just want to try the newly made rouge gouache. If the quality and makeup effect are good, you can take it to Xiao Linzi and let him find sales as usual."

This Dynasty's rouge gouache is too thick in texture, not thin or clear at all.

This made Jiang Shishi keenly sense a business opportunity.

The original owner's father was a sixth-rank official with a low monthly salary.

Therefore, the original owner did not bring much money when he entered the palace.

Besides, as far as the prices in the palace are concerned, an egg costs a few taels of silver.

Coupled with the daily expenses and the management of the maids and eunuchs, the original owner's money is not enough.

When she first started wearing books, those nourishing foods cost hundreds or even thousands of taels, which she couldn't afford at all.

As for the body of the original owner, she suffered from a lot of problems due to anorexia, and she didn't even have the money to pay for the medicine.

In order to survive, she can only use her business experience, from time to time, think of something new that was not available in ancient times, and make money with Xiao Linzi.

Xiao Linzi is a eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is often responsible for delivering items to the Eastern Palace, and occasionally goes in and out of the Imperial Palace to buy things.

Jiang Shishi saw that he was smart and good-natured, so she cooperated with him to make money when he came and went.

The two signed the contract, and no matter what they did, they would be divided equally.

After all, she can't leave the palace, and she is only responsible for developing samples and formulas, and Xiao Linzi is responsible for everything else.

"Oh." Chun Xing looked disappointed, "Speaking of Xiao Linzi, this servant saw him when he went to the imperial dining room this morning. He said that the recipe for Xue Mei Niang you gave last time was held by a noble girl in Beijing. It is an indispensable snack for banquets, and some people say it is a sublimated version of donkey rolling."

"Xiao Linzi also said that he has already set up a pastry shop in the suburbs of Beijing, and plans to try to sell it to nearby states, prefectures, and counties. Not only that, Xue Mei Niang has also become popular in the palace, and the empresses of all palaces like it very much. I heard that even the imperial chef couldn't do it, and Xiao Linzi even sold Xue Mei Niang to the palace."

Speaking of this, Chun Xing hesitated to speak, "Is it just?"

"Just what?" Jiang Shishi looked at Chunxing from the mirror.

Chun Xing: "You have always told Xiao Linzi not to sell things at a price that is several times higher than the cost, so even if Xue Mei Niang is popular in Beijing, the price is relatively moderate, but the market in the palace is not as good as that in the folk, where an egg is only a few pennies Money, but an egg in the palace costs a few taels of silver."

"Xiao Linzi asked, should we also sell it to the palace at a high price? The private price remains the same."

"No." Jiang Shishi said firmly, "Business is not based on deliberately raising prices, but on quality."

In later generations, the family's business involves all walks of life, relying on quality and innovation, and will never intentionally raise prices.

Because of this, her family's business has always had a good reputation in the business world, and the business is prosperous enough.

Chun Xing nodded in agreement.

"That's what I told Xiao Linzi at the time, but Xiao Linzi said that even if our Xue Mei Niang is sold cheaply, it will become a valuable item of dozens of taels in the mouths of the nobles in the palaces."

Jiang Shishi: "Let's just do our own business, don't worry about the twists and turns in the palace, those people spend their days making black-hearted money under the eyes of the emperor, sooner or later there will be a day when they can't afford it."

She remembered that it was written in the book: After the emperor learned that the price of goods in the palace was very different from that of the common people, all the chief eunuchs involved in the matter in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were punished, and then a new group of people was changed.

"Okay, this servant will pass on your words to Xiao Linzi." Chun Xing turned around and took a box from the house, "Hey, this is what Xiao Linzi asked the servant to give to you, and inside it is the money earned last month. There is also a box of white fish maw, which I say is a tribute to you."

Jiang Shishi counted the silver, and there were more than 2000 taels of silver, which was enough for her to live a good life in the East Palace for a while.

There is also a box of white fish gelatin in the box. Although it is not as precious as the spider fish gelatin given by the prince, it is better than the quantity, and it is also a good nourishing product.

When testing rouge powder, it is not only about the makeup effect, but also about the lasting effect.

Therefore, Jiang Shishi decided to wait until night to watch.

In the evening, Jiang Shishi asked Chun Xing to spend a lot of money to get a roast duck in the imperial dining room.

She herself sat in front of the bronze mirror and checked the durability of the rouge and gouache.

At this moment, looking at herself in the mirror, Jiang Shishi was quite satisfied, "Well, the rouge and gouache developed this time are not bad, the makeup effect is good, and it is quite long-lasting. It has been a day, and the makeup hasn't faded."

As soon as Chun Xing came back, she heard this sentence.

Jiang Shishi said to her by the way: "In the drawer on the left side of the top chest, there is my formula for making rouge powder this time. You can take it to Xiao Linzi sometime. The price is slightly higher than the rouge powder in the world. It will do." .”

Good rouge gouache has more production processes and more precious materials, so the price is naturally higher.

After Chunxing agreed, she went to the hall to set up meals.

Thinking of eating roast duck later, Jiang Shishi directly took off the makeup on her face, and plunged into the copper basin to wash her face.

After washing her face, she walked into the hall, intending to enjoy the roast duck.

Unexpectedly, there was a voice singing outside: "The prince is here!"
