Shu'er and Lin Ying used thirty boxes of Biliang Ningxiang to fry sixty taels of silver overnight, and Yan Xiao and Su Qin both looked at the two children in disbelief.

Yan Xiao said: "Sixty taels of silver, if a person comes to our restaurant every day to eat, each time he orders three dishes, a soup and a pot of wine, as usual, with corn, the three dishes include the best steamed fish, the best soft shell crab, the best chicken, the soup also wants our most expensive seafood soup, the wine is our brewed Linjiang fairy or Baiguo brew, but only one or two silver." This man comes once a day, and each time he eats with him, he can eat for sixty days. If you come once every two days, you can eat for 120 days, and it is a quarter. If you come once every three days, and you don't need to eat anything else in between, that's half a year! ”

Su Qin said: "But ordinary people, how can they go to a restaurant outside to eat twice in three days?" Ordinary people, sixty taels of silver, enough to be able to save money for a family of three or four to eat for a year! ”

Lin Ying looked at the sixty taels of silver in front of her, and said happily: "Although I have seen one or two gold ingots, I have never seen so many silver ingots!" ”

Su Qin asked puzzledly, "Where did you get a gold ingot or two?" ”

Lin Ying knew that she had missed her mouth, but she knew that sixty taels of silver ingots were equivalent to more than seven taels of gold ingots, so she not only returned to her original value, but also doubled it overnight, and she no longer concealed it from her mother: "A few days ago, I sold the big 'Linjiang Willow Map' and earned a gold ingot. Sister Shu'er and I gambled all the gold and pocket money we had saved on this 'Bi Liang Ning Xiang'. ”

Su Qin sighed: "That's it, when you grow up and grow up, you will all do business behind our backs." ”

Shu'er said: "Actually, we were really lucky this time, we found such an inconspicuous goods in the Chen Kingdom, plus we stumbled by mistake, and after we asked King Chen, only those aunts went to the black market today to find 'Biliang Ningxiang'." ”

Yan Xiao nodded and said, "You guys are indeed lucky. ”

Su Qin asked, "Then now, what are you going to do with sixty taels of silver?" ”

Shu'er said: "Actually, in the wine cellar, there are still thirty boxes of pure spices of sixty taels of silver, but if we sell these spices now and earn another sixty taels of silver, we will temporarily make money before the merchants of Shu buy them for us again." And the merchants of Shu, after all, have to travel all the way back and forth between Chen and Shu, so instead of waiting for them, it is better to use these remaining spices to develop new cosmetics first. The new cosmetics, such as those small boxes and jars just now, are actually ordinary rouge gouaches that can be bought in some markets and stores, but the novelty is that we add a little bit of 'cool fragrance' to them, so those ordinary rouge gouaches have become extraordinary. ”

Lin Ying added: "There is also the 'Linjiang Xianqiong Brew' proposed by Sister Shu'er, although it is only attached to the 'Biliang Ningxiang' now, but today many people are interested in the miraculous effect of the 'Linjiang Xianqiong Brew', and maybe one day, we can also evolve the 'Linjiang Xianqiong Brew' into another 'Biliang Ningxiang' alone." ”

Shu'er nodded and said, "Xiao Ying is right. Now that we're lucky, let's give it a try. Maybe we can also set up a store, just call it 'Biliang Cosmetics Shop'. At that time, in addition to Biliang Ningxiang and Linjiang Xianqiong Brew, there are all kinds of good-smelling cosmetics in the shop! ”

Yan Xiao glanced at Su Qin and said with admiration: "I didn't let the two of you go to the black market before, but you never listened, but I didn't expect that you really learned something." ”

Su Qin said: "It's still the same sentence, as long as you don't pay for the restaurant, you two can do the rest." Just remember not to do things that have a good conscience. ”

Yan Xiao asked: "For example, if you have increased the price of this 'Biliang Ningxiang' tenfold for no reason, is it already against the way of business?" ”

Shu'er thought for a moment and said: "Ten times the price, is caused by the imbalance between supply and demand, although we borrowed the power of King Chen to forcibly pull the 'demand', but only this time, it is also a last resort to raise funds to build a new one." ”

Yan smiled and said: "You are smart and smart, I am not worried, but in business, you must remember to stop in moderation." Especially your daughter's family, don't be like your Aunt Yan, in order to make money, she even missed her life's events. You're not too young, but we haven't helped you find any good people, and you're already guilty of being an aunt. Now, you are going to earn enough of your dowry again, so where can we save face? ”

Lin Ying saw that the two elders suddenly became serious, and suddenly mentioned that the older sister was not married, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so she relieved the siege and said: "Sister Shu'er is beautiful, smart and kind, even if she marries in the future, she can't marry an ordinary person, otherwise I will be the first to disagree." As for making money, I also want to earn us some money for the journey back to Chu in the future, and if I can earn more, I can also give it to my father to help him quell the chaos. ”

******

In the following year, Shu'er and Lin Ying were extremely busy. Shu'er was in charge of talking to many cosmetics shops in Fanjing about cooperation, buying back their rouge gouache and adding it to Biliang Ningxiang or Linjiang Xianqiong Brew. Not only did Lin draw many beautiful container patterns, but she was also responsible for going to the utensils store to order these containers. At the beginning, the two sisters and brothers delivered the goods in person according to the ordered list, and by the way, they came with a new sample, and explained the use and efficacy of the sample, and then the list became more and more, from one or two orders a day to a dozen orders a day, and the errands were definitely not able to run, so they bought back two girls who specialized in running errands in the place where they sold cheap slaves in the black market.

The two girls are orphans, only thirteen or fourteen years old, younger than Lin Ying, and they were just arrested by traffickers a few days ago, saying that they were going to be sold to Liuxiang, a flower street in Fanjing. Shu'er has long been unable to look down on the dirty business of selling cheap slaves on the black market, and she was unable to manage it before, but now that she has some money, she must save a few people. After the two girls were groomed, although they were skinny, they looked clean and delicate. They knelt down for Shu'er and Lin Ying and said, "Brother and sister saved us, we will work hard for you." ”

Shu'er heard that their names were "Little Ya" and "Big Ya" on the black market, and she thought it was not good, so she asked Lin Ying to give them better names again, Lin Ying thought about it and said, "Aunt Yan is not married and has no children, otherwise let them have the surname Yan." Both of them are handsome, the little girl is called 'Yan Qing', and the big girl is called 'Yan Xiu', how about it? ”

Shu'er rolled her eyes: "I thought that you used to wander around the old city tower all day long, and got acquainted with a bunch of literati, scholars, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what good name can you come up with!" ”

Yan Qing and Yan Xiu love their new names very much. Lin Ying was happy to see the two girls, and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be good if they like it?" ”
