This Jia Yu was so worried about the arrears of the house that he didn't want to eat, because he was thinking that his wife was recovering from a serious illness, and he couldn't come out in front of him again, so he had to sigh with the account book in the study. Mrs. Zhang has a thorough understanding of this Jia Yu's temperament. Seeing that he didn't even go out these days, some people asked to see antiques and paintings, and they lost their interest, so they couldn't push them one by one, and only cared about looking at the account books in the study, and couldn't help but be suspicious. So he found an opportunity to persuade him with good words, Jia Yu knew that this matter would be hidden for a short time, and when he saw that his wife was in good health, he explained the matter clearly.

This Mrs. Zhang has been sick for more than two months, and this time it is easy to recuperate her body. Previously, Jia Yu was also afraid that this incident would add new sorrow to his wife, and if it led to any old diseases, it would be too bad. When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was also frightened at first, she also managed the family, but the mansion owed so much silver to the court, and it was the first time she knew about it. But it's not an exaggeration to know, this account has been owed for some years, and the old people who know are almost gone.

Mrs. Zhang listened to Jia Yu's sorrows, and she had no idea in her heart. After all, she also lives in the back house, and she doesn't know much about the front hall. However, this eldest lady also has some insight in the end, and comforted Jia Yu: "I never thought that the house would be so difficult, but if our house can survive this difficulty, then there will be no wind and waves in the future." The old lady is right, at present, the house really needs to open up sources and reduce expenditure. We and other women don't dare to talk nonsense, but they always know a thing or two about being diligent and thrifty. I just made a rough calculation, if I save some extravagance, I can save a few thousand taels of silver a year, although it is not a lot, but it is enough to chew in the house for a month or two. ”

Jia Yu waved his hand, "Your heart is good, I understand." However, if the people next to him heard it, they would be happy, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the debts of the house. Although the old lady mentioned throttling, she was just planning to cover everyone's eyes with throttling. Otherwise, even if there is money, it will be a disaster for the mansion to suddenly bring out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and I don't know how many people will be staring at it. As for open source, it is necessary to be cautious. Even if you have a good idea, you have to find a big tree to act. ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded when she heard this, "Presumably the master already has an idea in his heart." It's just that this time it's hard to start? ”

Jia Yu smiled bitterly, "I don't have an idea, I don't know how to do general affairs." If you invite me to taste antiques, I can still talk about it. I've been good at spending money since I was a child, but I don't have any idea about making money. ”

The eldest lady nodded, and said, "This is also embarrassing for the master." I thought of my sister-in-law who was out of Beijing at home, and I heard that the old man said that he was now in charge of salt affairs by the grace of God, and he must have had some insight. Why don't I give my sister a little letter, Yang Qi will help ask, maybe there is a way. In addition, although my father and brother are both scholars, my younger brother seems to be interested in business procurement, so I also wrote to ask? ”

Jia Yu nodded: "That's the best, but you need to be cautious." Although the Lin Mansion and the Zhang Mansion are relatives, after all, this matter is related to the face of my Rongguo Mansion, and it will not be a good thing if people know about it. ”

"Please rest assured, I have my own measure." Mrs. Zhang answered, went back to the room and wrote a letter, and specially asked Jia Yu and Jia's mother to read it, so she sent one letter back to her mother's house and one to Lin's mansion.

Jia Yu is not idle over there, and Shi Fei'er is also busy here. First of all, she ordered the maid Egret to follow the method she had taught her before, sorted out the accounts in the house again, circled a lot of items that could be thrifty and noted them one by one, and made a rough calculation, estimating that she could save 18,000 taels of silver a year. Shi Fei'er looked at the account book and sighed, this throttle is just a painting, and it doesn't actually play a big role. Besides, if all the brains are throttled now, it is estimated that the money will not be saved, so the nest will be blown up first. Since the throttling effect is not good, naturally Shi Feier will focus on open source.

Although Shi Fei'er also wants to make a business and make 1.8 million, but this time there is no standard gold finger or other bonus attributes. I had to walk around the usual way first. After going through the accounts of the Grange shop in Jiafu, Shi Fei'er was so angry that she wanted to curse. A good grange shop, but whether it encounters a natural disaster or suffers from *, anyway, in short, there are very few people who make money, and there are countless people who lose money. Shi Fei'er sneered, wait, these monkey cubs, after that, you have to spit out as much as you eat, and you have to vomit twice as much before stopping.

Shi Fei'er is not in a hurry, after all, he is still wearing from the future to ancient times, this knowledge is also power, and the creativity in today's society is the most valuable, Shi Fei'er still doesn't believe it, he has never seen people who have used so many convenient things in the future and can't think of a way to make money. Shi Fei'er simply stayed at home these days, wrote the difference between the present world and the present on a piece of paper, and looked at it repeatedly. Looking back and forth, the business opportunities have been figured out.

What business opportunities did you come up with? It's nothing else, but it's an ordinary soap and soap in this world. The reason why I chose this is first of all because Shi Feier needs it very much, if it weren't for crossing here, the dessert house that Shi Feier dreamed of opening might have opened a long time ago. Naturally, it is necessary to pay attention to hygiene when making desserts, and Shi Feier is very familiar with this washing product. There is also something similar to soap here, called pancreas, which, as the name suggests, is inseparable from the pancreas. The pancreas here is made from a mixture of pancreas from pigs and sheep and plant ash. Although the decontamination ability is okay, it looks ugly, and Shi Feier really doesn't like the smell. Even so, pancreas is not a cheap item, and its popularity is really not high. Secondly, the material for making this soap is relatively simple, and it is not too difficult to make it. It just so happened that Shi Feier had been playing with handmade soap for a while, and she was also very familiar with the process of making zuò, so she should be quite handy to make it. The most important thing is that soap and soap are fast-moving consumer goods, and they can be used by everyone, once promoted, the market should be not small. Thinking of this, Shi Feier decided to try to do it herself first, to see if she could make soap and promote it.

After Shi Fei'er made up her mind to try, she ordered someone to clean up a few empty rooms, made a list, wrote down everything she needed, and ordered someone to purchase it quickly. The things are complete, and Shi Fei'er is familiar with them and does them quickly. I made a lot of it in a few days, but the soap was easy to make, but it was cooked slowly, so I could only wait.

Mrs. Zhang's letter was sent to the Lin Mansion, and after Jia Min read it, she hurriedly wrote a letter to ask Lin Ruhai what she meant. After writing the letter, Jia Min picked an extremely safe life and quickly sent it to Lin Ruhai. Jia Min pinched the eldest lady's letter and felt quite emotional in her heart. Although he has been in the mansion for so many years, although the prosperity of the mansion is not as good as when his father was still in the early years, he is still decent, at least much stronger than the Lin Mansion. Although the eldest lady has not spoken too clearly, Jia Min is smart and clear. Such prosperity can also end up in today's situation, and Jia Min is also timid. So he ordered someone to also take out the historical accounts of the Lin Mansion to check, and after a careful search, he found that there was no money owed to the court by the Rurong Mansion in the mansion, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Jia Min didn't mention it for the time being, when Lin Ruhai received Jia Min's letter, he thought it was just an ordinary family letter, but after unfolding it, he found the content of this letter, and couldn't help but gasp. I read it carefully a few times and thought about it for a few days before replying to the letter.

In the meantime, Lin Ruhai's letter has not yet arrived, but the Zhang family has sent a post to invite. Because of the birthday of the old lady of the Zhang family at the beginning of next month, Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Wang were specially invited. Shi Fei'er nodded in agreement, and ordered people to prepare more gifts to show their attention. The eldest lady was really surprised when she saw the gift list, not to mention that the house should be frugal now, even if it is not, this gift is quite rich. Although Mrs. Zhang was quite happy in her heart, she still persuaded after thinking about it: "This gift is a lot more than before." Although it is a birthday celebration for my mother, there are rules every year, and it is not good to make an exception this time. ”

Shi Fei'er smiled and pretended to be angry: "Why, you are distressed." Mrs. Zhang shook her head again and again, saying that she didn't dare. Shi Fei'er asked someone to accept the gift list, and said to the eldest lady: "I have a great use for this gift." Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask carefully, but Shi Fei'er sold Guan Zi and refused to say anything more. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said a few gossips, and Shi Fei'er asked her daughter-in-law: "Have you used the handmade soap that you gave you a few days ago?" ”

Hearing Shi Fei'er ask, the two wives nodded one after another. Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I have never seen such a good thing, a few days ago I copied the scriptures, and accidentally rubbed the ink ideas on my hands, and I washed them a little with this thing, and my hands were clean again." And there is a fragrance on the hand after using it, and the daughter-in-law is reluctant to use it. ”

Shi Fei'er nodded, the Wang family is quite rich, and they have a lot of knowledge in food and clothing, I think if this Mrs. Wang also thinks it is good, then many people should think it is very good. Besides, her sister married the Xue family and became an imperial businessman, so she naturally has a lot of knowledge, if she can get this thing into the palace, she won't have to worry about selling it in the future.

Mrs. Zhang also nodded and said, "The soap that the old lady rewarded Brother Hu and Brother Lian for washing their clothes is really clean and labor-saving, and there is a fragrance after washing, so that those mothers-in-law and maids are regarded as treasures, and they dare not use it too much." ”

Shi Fei'er smiled: "Since it is a thing, it is used to make it." Be of good cheer, for this soap is there, and if you run out of soap, ask me. Besides, this thing can be put aside for a while, but it can't last long. You don't have to save on it. ”

The two wives were also very happy when they heard it, and Shi Fei'er ordered someone to take out four more boxes for the two daughters-in-law: "This is newly made, jasmine and green tea fragrance, which can be used to cleanse the face and cleanse the body, you try it first to see if you like it or not." The two of them were even happier when they saw Jia's mother rewarding them again.

Shi Fei'er asked the two: "If this thing is sold in the world, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

The eldest lady nodded and said, "Naturally, this thing is very convenient." Even if it costs a few taels of silver, it will be in short supply. Mrs. Wang also responded: "If you enter the palace, it is a large amount." ”

Shi Fei'er's face was happy: "If that's the case, it's fine." Second wife, I'll give you a few more boxes, you give your sister a little over, her family is an imperial businessman, and she is naturally a well-informed person, so you can ask her what she thinks of this thing. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately agreed. I think today is really good, I got new soap, and I please the old lady. It is estimated that the old lady listened to her words and wanted to see if this thing could be purchased into the palace.

Seeing that everyone thought this soap was good, Shi Fei'er felt a little more confident in her heart, and planned to make more after today, which was ready for future use.
