Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 527 527. Open a shop
"Superior employment skills are the reflection of the highest wisdom of a successful leader."

Cheng Xi couldn't help but sigh like this when she saw Shen Xingluo sitting quietly in the study for the nth time, drinking tea leisurely while Fuguang was already busy as a spinning top.

"Obviously our Holy Master still doesn't understand this truth."

"Perhaps the most important thing to him is the balance between the court and the court. He is very good at checking and balancing power."

Shen Xingluo was so stunned that he said the compliment so sarcastically that he almost put the words "Master Duanshui" on the forehead of the holy master.

"Wow--"

Cheng Xi was surprised, "I thought you at least had some respect for the imperial power."

"You still need to be like Madam."

Awe? There wasn't much left of that thing, and what little was left was already consumed while traveling through the planes one after another.

Shen Xingluo had to admit that human beings' ideas about some things would change quietly and subtly.

However, Cheng Xi didn't know what he was thinking at this moment, otherwise she would have sneered at him and strongly condemned him for the loftiness and aloofness of a scholar that was engraved in his bones even though he was killing zombies and spending two years in an interstellar military academy.

And, there is also the high importance that scholars (emphasis) in ancient times (emphasis) attach to secular etiquette.

#Once again, I mourn for my current limited life of giving gifts, simple kisses, and love.#
#I don’t know what he is being reserved about at all#
Cheng Xi held the teacup in both hands and stared blankly for a while, her thoughts wandering off to nowhere.

Ah~ This kind of leisurely life with nothing to do is really addictive~~~
Comfortable (*^▽^*)
The mist of black tea in the cup slowly rose, and Shen Xingluo turned over the book without saying a word. The two seemed to enjoy each other's company, and the study room was silent for a few seconds.

I don't know how long it took before Cheng Xi returned to her senses from her wandering thoughts.

"When is the Queen Mother's birthday?"

"Late June."

Isn't it almost summer?
Calculating the time, it is still the time when potatoes and corn are mature.

Cheng Xi was not surprised by this time point. The day that can arouse the excitement of Pan Wang everywhere must have the three elements of "the right time, the right place and the right people", all of which are indispensable.

But she still had trouble accepting the ancient habit of starting preparations three months in advance for a certain date.

Not efficient at all.

For example, she had only seen Jiang Yuyao once since the Marquis Wu'an Mansion and the Jiang Mansion set the wedding date, and it was just for a major event such as adding makeup.

Of course, Miss Jiang was absent again when the friends got together.

At that time, several boudoir girls of similar ages were gathering together and chattering quietly. There were three baskets of clearly sorted petals of different colors in front of them. Not far away, the maids who were being directed around were so busy that they flew up.

"So this is how mouth grease is made?" Σ (°△°|||)︴
“It’s really possible to extract so many colors!” Σ(⊙▽⊙“a
"Oh my god, the finished product is so beautiful!" (^^*)

"I'm so awesome!" (^&^)/
A vigorous (and foggy) practical activity involving four girls was born.

Activity name: Lipstick making

Location: Suburban Beijing-Shenjiazhuangzi
Time: An afternoon in early April
Participants: Qu Shaoya, Qin Nan, Song Yan, Shen Xingqi, and their personal maids (emphasis)

A few girls were busy like flowers. A series of operations including color mixing, powder making, wax melting, proportioning, solidification, demoulding and installation finally took three hours to make rows of lipsticks of different colors.

When Cheng Xi returned to the backyard with a basket of fresh vegetables, he saw little faces with bright smiles. They were marveling at the finished product with a sense of accomplishment.

The surrounding area of ​​the small courtyard was in a mess, with petals of various colors scattered everywhere. The servants (actually the main force), the maids and servants, were diligently cleaning the battlefield. Under the sun, several different red lipsticks on a table in front of a table exuded a radiant light.

Cheng Xi twitched the corner of her mouth, it turned out that this is how maids are used, they are taught.

Huh?
"You also made lip balm?"

Awesome my girls.

Sure enough, women have a talent for makeup and skin care that is engraved in their DNA.

"Sister Cheng is here? Look at our finished product!"

"We really made lip balm. I didn't expect it to be quite easy!"

"What if you only have lip balm? Of course you need lip balm!"

The last sentence came from Shen Xingqi.

There was no lip balm in the Yan Dynasty, but the ancients would also put it on their lips when taking care of their skin. However, few people would use lip balm as a base when applying lip balm, and the effect was not satisfactory.

Ever since she learned of the existence of lip balm, Shen Xingqi has been obsessed with it and called it one of the greatest inventions in the modern world.

Several little girls gathered around and chirped for a while, with the words "I'm so awesome, praise me, praise me, praise me" written all over their faces. The aura of begging for praise that exuded from their bodies was hard to ignore.

Cheng Xi:.
She glanced at the tired and exhausted maids, and looked at the watery eyes of Kazilan in front of her and could only nod her head.

"Awesome, awesome, you guys are awesome!"

Sorry, the unsung heroes, they are too cute and there is nothing I can do about it~(*▽*)~
The little girls were satisfied with her recognition and smiled brighter, then ran to the side and continued chattering head to head.

Cheng Xi was freed from the encirclement and had the opportunity to take a close look at the finished products.

The finger-long cylindrical lipstick is very delicate. It is small and exquisite in the hand, and the design that fits the lip shape is more in line with human aesthetics. This modern ingenuity alone is unique in Dayan, which is full of paper pieces and porcelain bottles. portion.

She took a few products and gently wiped them on the back of her hand. The lip balm was fine and even, with full color and full marks for moisturizing.

Wow.

wow~
Wow!

Facts have proved that the ladies in ancient times were all ingenious and very talented in handicrafts - maybe it has something to do with learning female celebrities since they were young?
There is no crooked part in the finished product. It looks neat and tidy. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have thought it came from some assembly line in the modern world.

Of course, Shen Xingqi's series of preparations for today's party must also be included.

The Shen family not only provided various flowers and various production equipment, but also modernized the modern lipstick molds and asked the craftsmen to create a batch of screw-lift molds that could be twisted.

All in all, the first batch of finished products can be called perfect.

"Xingqi Xingqi, we are really successful!"

"That's right, even Sister Cheng can't help but admire it~"

Cheng Xi:.
So when did her reviews become the industry benchmark? Do you have any misunderstanding about me?
# Could it be that I am some kind of awesome P Hong Bang boss character design#
#This world really can’t survive without me#
"Why don't we open a lipstick shop together?"

"What, opening a grease shop?"

"Yes, how can such beautiful and useful colors only be known to us?" "What a great idea! They should shine as they should!"

As the one with the most business acumen among the group of people, Qin Nan's brain came into play at this time, and his proposal was unanimously approved by the rest of the friends as expected.

So after Cheng Xi tried the finished products one by one, several people had already obtained the consent of Shen Xingqi, a master of technology, and began to discuss how to open a shop together.

"My family has an unused shop on East Street. The number of customers coming and going there must be very good."

"I have a craftsman's shop at home that specializes in making molds!"

"Then I'll be a stranger?"

"Xiao Xingqi can come up with a recipe!"

Cheng Xi Cheng Xi turned around decisively and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner with a basket of wild vegetables.

# somewhat redundant￣へ￣#
Since the friends had been busy all afternoon (Maidmaid:?), which may have consumed too much physical and mental energy, she decided to make more food.

"Madam, what do the slaves need to do?"

"All you need to do is help me. Select the wild vegetables, wash them thoroughly, and mix them with some noodles. There is no need to ferment them."

"Yes."

Two little maids of fifteen or sixteen years old took over the wild vegetable cage and started working quickly. Cheng Xi observed for a long time and was very satisfied. Wang An was indeed a well-organized person, and even the servants on Zhuangzi were very discerning.

There were a lot of sprouts sprouting in the kitchen, a lot of leeks and other seasonal vegetables growing in the vegetable field, and there was also a lot of meat and vegetables to buy. She knew what she was going to do at a glance.

There is nothing more suitable for spring than eating spring pancakes, but eating only spring pancakes and wild vegetables is a bit monotonous. It is the time when the little girls are growing up, so the combination of meat and vegetables is the truth.

Then add a roast duck.

It’s even more perfect when paired with spring cakes~~~(*^▽^*)~~~
The maids all came from poor backgrounds and were good at work. They prepared everything Cheng Xi needed in a short time.

"You follow my lead and make your meals together."

"Yes."

Cheng Xi taught while doing it, washing the duck several times to remove the buttocks and fat skin.

"Be sure to turn it over when baking, and brush it with honey from time to time for color."

"Madam, don't worry, I understand."

The kitchen in Zhuangzi was very simple. After seeing it, Cheng Xi simply used the simplest method to roast the duck - just put it on the rack and roast it over an open fire. Whether it was authentic or not was another matter.

Several ducks quickly started turning around, leaving one person to watch while she took the remaining one to handle the rest of the ingredients.

Making spring cakes is not difficult. A skilled kitchen person can learn it at a glance, and there is no technical content in stir-frying vegetables. Cheng Xi simply handed these to the little girl while she picked up a piece of pork tenderloin and started working on it.

She wants to make shredded pork with Beijing sauce.

I still plan to wrap it in spring pancakes and eat it.

"It seems like we need to make a sweet noodle sauce that tastes better?"

This is nothing!
Cut the tenderloin into evenly sized shreds, put it into a bowl, add cooking wine, salt, and flour, beat in the eggs and mix well to make the batter; while waiting, you need to make a side dish of shredded pork.

Of course it’s shredded green onions!
In fact, Cheng Xi prefers to eat it with onions. The spicy yet sweet taste makes people feel more happy. She has bitten shredded onions more than once when eating shredded pork with Beijing sauce. It is difficult for people with bad teeth to eat it. It bites off, thus affecting the overall taste.

However, there was no food like onions in the Great Yan Dynasty, so she couldn't bring it out blatantly.

You still have to find time to plant it. The source is, of course, the omnipotent Shennong Mountains!

Cheng Xi was in a good mood and praised herself. She wrapped the outside of the green onions layer by layer, trying not to let herself eat a mouthful of old shreds. After picking and washing them, she took the tenderest white green onions and shredded them and spread them on the plate. .

"Madam, don't you need the green onions outside?"

The little girl stumbled.

Cheng Xi looked at her and replied calmly, "Save it for cutting green onions into sections for stir-frying." He then busily heated a pot with oil, added shredded pork and stir-fried.

Before the shredded pork with Jingjiang sauce came out of the pan, bursts of aroma came from the grill. Considering that the kitchen is so small, it quickly got into their noses.

“Hiss—it smells so good!”

The little maid was young, and even though Wang An repeatedly ordered her not to yell in front of his wife, she still couldn't help but exclaim, and even swallowed the saliva secreted from her mouth.

"Are you so greedy? It seems that Manager Wang usually doesn't feed you enough."

"No, no, Manager Wang is very good to the slaves. Madam, I misunderstood. Since we came to Zhuangzi, we have had meat every three days. This is the smell."

Why hasn't she felt that duck tastes so delicious before? The skin is oily and gleaming, and one bite will definitely make your mouth full of oil!
Sihasha~
"puff--"

Cheng Xi was amused and did not forget to put the prepared sweet noodle sauce into the wok and flip the shredded meat skillfully again. When all the tenderloin was exuding the aroma of sauce, he stopped the fire and served it out.

"Only two ducks are needed in the main hall. Talk to Manager Wang about the remaining three and let everyone share them."

"Thank you ma'am!"

The two little maids almost jumped up with joy.

"Okay, bring the dishes over."

Cheng Xi made a few more slices of salty food with wild vegetables, and finally cut the roasted duck into small pieces before washing his hands and leaving the kitchen.

The journey from the kitchen to the front hall was filled with fragrance, and there were two maids with bright smiles behind them. When they walked to the main courtyard, as expected, they heard bursts of laughter.

At this time, several people have already discussed all the matters related to the opening of Rouge Shop, such as where the shop will be located, how to use the shop name, the investment and proportion of each investor, etc., almost all details are covered.

It is worth mentioning that although Jiang Yuyao did not participate because she was getting married at home, several friends did not forget to bring her with them. In the end, Qu Shaoya paid the money on the grounds of "giving a big gift to her future sister-in-law", and everyone was happy. .

As for Cheng Xi, Shen Xingqi very generously refused to kiss her sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law and I have actually discussed this matter. According to Cheng Xi, you girls have come together to earn pocket money. Adults like me will not participate. Once you earn any money in the future, you will save it for yourself. Shen Xingqi blushed when she heard that she was saving a dowry for herself in the future.

OK, at worst, after she earns money, she goes to the bank to buy some exquisite jewelry for her sister-in-law.

make a fist!

After a series of discussions, Shen Xingqi finally became the largest shareholder of the store with a 40% share.
