When Qiao's people were selected, there were about eighteen people, and Du Yi deliberately chose March 15 to open the factory. Because it was to make soap, the original large factory was divided into two rooms by Duyi, and the small one was used to sew clothes, which is currently used to dry soap temporarily.

As for the large one, it was divided into two workshops by Dui. One of them is to choose a few reliable people to be the place to filter the water, of course, these people's monthly income is much higher than the others. It's just that when filtering water, you need to pay attention, otherwise it is easy to burn the skin.

The place in the village dedicated to oil extraction was requisitioned by Duyi. The mill is located on the bank of a creek with abundant water and shaded by trees. There was a waterwheel, a grinding pan, a huge squeezing log, and a dangling ram, all of which were necessary for oil extraction.

While the soap factory is busy, the small shops in the town of Doi are ready to open. Before this, Xiaohuzi had already sent her to a private school for enlightenment.

Meizhen wanted to go to the town to take care of Xiaohuzi, but she was worried about Xiaobao and Liniang, so she gave up. After Xiaohuzi went to school, his big name was directly taken according to his nickname, called Liu Hu.

On March 20, the town's shop opened. For the arrival of this day, Du Yi did not bother to think less. The oven that I used to use at home was moved to the shop, and I also asked someone to build a few more. The decoration of the shop is modeled after a modern café, except that it sells a variety of sweets. There are pastries from the Purple Moon Country, as well as modern breads and desserts.

In addition to milk tea, there is also juice. In addition, in order to cater to the purchase rate of the flat people, Du Yi made simple bread, and of course, the shop also sold strawberry jam and hawthorn sauce.

Since the strawberry jam was made by Du Yisheng before Xiaoshuai, there are not many of them. But for the sake of business, Du Yi still gritted his teeth and sold the few strawberry jams.

As soon as the hour passed, the sound of firecrackers exploded in front of the door of the Yi Kee Dessert Shop. Regardless of Doy greeting guests at the door, the kitchen alone was busy. Bai Mei is toasting bread, and Ziding is making sandwiches. In addition, the already packaged pastries on the shelves are made by Doe himself. There are jujube cakes, mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes and other things.

And Doe's craftsmanship is a combination of modern and ancient practices, which is unique to this crescent town. As for bread, there is plain toast, there are croissants, plain white bread, and so on.

Of course, Doe had thought about the Black Forest or something, but I'm sorry, the conditions don't allow it, and she can't do it. At the moment, she doesn't have that much ambition to make it all. She just made a few simple varieties so that people could accept them, and then she slowly pondered that the current roasters should be Ziding and Baimei.

"Miss Du is really a good craft, she hasn't entered the store yet, just standing at this door, you can smell the fragrance!" Mrs. Song stood at the door and praised with a smile.

Seeing so many people coming, Doe smiled on his face. It was in vain that she did so much work, first asked Yu Ziheng to go to the Yamen to do some work, and then asked He Cao's family to take her and squeeze into the so-called aristocratic circle of Crescent Town.

Because of this, Doe wasted a lot of things, first sending wine and then soap to make connections. Those so-called noble ladies, at the beginning, had not seen anyone, thinking that the hillbillies wanted to use them to increase their status, and they all looked down on them in their hearts.

However, He Cao's family had a certain influence in that circle, so he saw her face and barely saw it. It was only after seeing each other that Du Yi was above them in terms of appearance, temperament, etiquette, or dress, that they all changed their faces and attitudes.

Du Yi naturally understands their behavior. She only revealed a little that she had some connections and a very good relationship with the Yamen, and instantly became the focus of the so-called noble lady circle in Crescent Town.

When everyone learned that the wine that became the royal wine was from her hands, and the soap that had recently emerged was different from the pancreatic soap, it was even more sought after by them.

The fragrant pancreas just smells good, but it doesn't look good. The soap of Duyi's house is white in color and delicate in foam, and the front and back of each soap are the appearance of flowers. It's so beautiful that I can't help but want to buy it.

It's just that the soap with the fragrance is a little disappointing to them. However, as if he knew what they were thinking, he said that the scented soap could be ordered, and he was full of joy. Even though a piece of soap cost a tael of silver, twenty times as much as soap, they rejoiced in the death.

Du Yi saw Mrs. Song with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law of the Song family, it can be regarded as looking forward to you!" I'm going to let you try the bread with jam today, and I'll make sure you still want to eat it! ”

This Mrs. Song was originally sold by Du Yi to the family that sold grapes in the town, and when a pound of grapes was sold at the price of eight cents, it was bought by the people of the Song Mansion. And the people of the Song Mansion also prefer fruits, and Du Yi regards her as the first person to befriend.

"Oh? Then I'm going to try it and see if it's as delicious as you said, Miss Du! Mrs. Song glanced at the girl beside her, and the girl was very interested in handing the congratulatory gift to Qiao's on the side.

Qiao's family was transferred by Du Yi today, and her task today is to record the congratulatory gifts sent by the people who came, and to meet the people of the so-called aristocratic circle of Crescent Town.

"Sister, I really have no conscience, sister-in-law, I've been standing here for a while, my sister's eyes only have Mrs. Song, sister-in-law is a big living person standing, my sister can't see it!"

He Cao stood at the doorway, looking at Du Yi with a smile in his eyes. She knew that Doe was a powerful girl, and it always hurt to be good friends with her. It's only been two years, and I also bought a house with a second courtyard in this town.

At first, when Doe came with homemade soap and asked her to help break into the women's circles, he was still puzzled. But after using that soap, I was immediately shocked. It's a lot cheaper than pancreas, and the color is much better. I don't know if she made it herself or bought it.

However, when she sold a favor to Doe, she found out that Doe made the soap herself, and the speed with which she broke into the circle was both expected and unexpected.

She originally thought that Doe would definitely be troubled, but she would quickly resolve it and break into the circle in the shortest possible time. But who would have thought that when those women saw her, they all left behind their previous arrogant temperament and turned around her. Even the one in the yamen didn't see the slightest movement.

He Cao, who understood that Du Yi must have a strong background behind him, was even more cordial to Du Yi now. Seeing Du Yi pulling Mrs. Song into the store, He Cao hurriedly laughed.

"Hey, you see I'm so busy that I didn't even see my sister-in-law coming. Is this Yiyi's, Yiyi has no sister-in-law here to make amends, and I hope my sister-in-law will forgive me! ”

With a smile in the corner of his eyes, He Cao stepped forward and patted Du Yi's hand, and said, "You have called me sister-in-law, how can I blame my sister-in-law?" My sister is busy today, and my sister-in-law will help you say hello together! Without waiting for Du Yi to refuse, He Cao went straight to help Du Yi entertain the others.

As the morning passed, there were only a few ordinary people in the crowd, except for the various powerful people in Crescent Town, who came and went back and forth in the morning. By the afternoon, after sending everyone away, Doy was so tired that he could barely straighten his waist.

In the afternoon, the people were relatively wealthy, and when they saw that the townspeople had come, they went into the store to buy them with the intention of handing over to Doe.

Du Yi knew that this was a new thing, and if he wanted to open the market, in addition to a promotion with free advertising, he also had to have good contacts. But this pastry, those big families, every family has someone who can make it, there is really no need to pay money to buy it. Most of the small people are poor, and it would be good to be able to buy them once or twice a year.

She knew that the business was going to be bad, and that it would take a nosedive after that, except for the first two days of opening. However, it is man-made, and Du Yi believes that she will definitely be able to launch the brand of Yi Kee. Her goal now is mainly to sell the jams, and most importantly, to put them on summer drinks.

Now the conditions are not ripe, and when the conditions are ripe, she must tear down the dessert house and rebuild it into Yi Kee Restaurant. It's just that at present, she still wants to keep the dessert house and see how things develop, and she thinks that the worst will not be so bad that she will simply close the store and not do business.

Once she has built a restaurant, she can not only cook dishes, but also sell desserts and pastries and ice cream for summer at the same time. It's just that she doesn't have much cash in her hand now, so she can only take it step by step. The so-called one bite can't raise a big fat man, even if there is a shortcut to take, but after all, it is not firm, and it is easy to fall when the wind blows.

After closing the door at night, Liu came to the study with a bowl of lotus seed soup, with a reproachful look on his face: "You kid, making money is important, but you still have to take care of your body, right?" ”

"Mother, are you here?" Du Yi raised his head from the account book registered by Qiao's and saw Liu's, and a trace of warmth flashed in his heart.

Although Liu is her nurse, she has given her a strong maternal love. This love is a lot more than that of peach blossoms.

"Seeing that you didn't eat much at night, I boiled some soup for you, you drink some first." Liu put the lotus seed soup on the desk, touched Du Yi's head, and a trace of distress flashed in his eyes.

When he saw Du Yi obediently drinking lotus seed soup, he said: "Yiyi, my mother knows that you are eager for revenge, but this matter is not in a hurry." Xiaoshuai is still young now, you have to spend more time with him in the flower shop. Like you are busy every day now, and when the child grows up, he will be separated from you. The things in the shop can be handed over to other people. The mother saw that the silver cow was good, and his daughter-in-law should have taught him to read and write, and the things in the greenhouse could be handed over to others, and it was okay to transfer him out to this town as a shopkeeper. Tie Niu is a little honest, he is not suitable for this matter. As for Liu Wang, this kid still has to grind. Baimei Ziding is good, but if you let them go out and be busy like this, it won't work if there is no one around. If it doesn't work out, let's spend some more money and buy some people back! ”

Green willow, Liu didn't think about it. It's just that the girl has no eyes and has never wanted to come out. Otherwise, that girl is clear-minded, and it would be better to have her by Duyi's side.

However, it is not bad for Luliu to take Xiaoshuai now, so that she can run in with the little young master, and after returning to Du Mansion in the future, she will also take care of it.

"Mother, this is slow in advance, not in a hurry. When the wine factory is ready, I will think about buying a few more people. By the way, how is the Liu family's performance? ”

Liu took a small stone to Liujia Village, just doing some simple work, and she is currently doing laundry and cooking. However, the main washing is Du Yi Liu and the children, while Erlang and Liu Dazhu's clothes are washed by Liu himself.

"It's okay, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Xiaoshuai is about to turn 1 in more than two months, so you have to prepare. The mountain to the south is almost open, when are you going to go back and see? ”

Dui was in this town except when he went back when the soap factory opened. And those things on the mountain, Du Yi was all handed over to Liu Dazhu and others. Suddenly hearing Liu's words, I remembered that it was time to plan the orchard of that mountain.

She didn't dare to plant that mangosteen anymore. It's okay to go back and directly find someone to buy and sell it, and it's not that she hasn't done such a thing, and she just extracts profits from it.

"Wait a few days, after the matter of this shop, after Baimei Ziding gets started, I will go back. But this shop should really be watched, mother, you see if there is an honest girl, twelve or thirteen years old, please come over and help, Baimei and Ziding can't be consumed here. ”

When Du Yi entered the so-called aristocratic circle before, he brought Bai Mei and Zi Ding, the purpose was to make the two of them have an impression in the eyes of those so-called noble ladies. When I went back and opened my own shop to sell soap, the market was easy to open. As long as you have this experience, it is okay to let these two people go out to run business in the future.

It stands to reason that this woman of the Purple Moon Country should not show her face outside, but Du Yi can trust and handle these two people at present. She wondered if any of the men who were helping out now were fit for business and faithful. When you do the math, there are only silver and bronze bulls.

As Liu said, Silver Bull Duyi can be transferred to help. This copper bull is the future husband of Zhaodi, and he is also the uncle of Peach Blossom, so he should be reused. But Du Yi has his own ideas, the four Taurus brothers are good, but if each one is reused, Du Yi still doesn't want to.

At present, in addition to helping, Tie Niu is helping from Ziheng's side. The Golden Bull is also a short-term worker, and the position of the Bronze Bull is quite awkward, between a short-term worker and a steward.

"Okay, go back and find you one!" After Liu got a satisfactory answer, he left with the bowl that had been drunk.

Du Yi looked at the Liu family who was far away, but he had another idea in his heart. She seems to have never heard of Liu's mother's family, and she has never heard Peach Blossom talk about her grandfather's family, what's going on? She knows that Liu Dazhu has always been a single biography and has no special relatives, but what about this Liu?

Before Du Yi returned to Liujia Village, Dr. Che came: "You girl, is this how you studied medicine?" Throw down a sentence to be busy, and there will be no one. Give me a month to write down all these medical skills, otherwise you won't call me Master in the future! ”

Du Yi saw his master's gloomy face, and there was a laughing smile on his face: "Master, people don't mean it. It's just that you also know that this time is really too busy! ”

"Being busy is not an excuse, there will be a squeeze of time. With your half-baked medical skills, don't wait for what to do and cry again. ”

Well, Doe admits that she's been so busy lately that she's forgotten. She is bent on doing her own great business, but now she looks at the results and the results are average. The business of the dessert shop is not as bad as expected, but it is not much better. The profit earned, after deducting labor, is not much.

"Okay, okay, people know. Master, don't be angry, come and try the pastries made by the apprentices, and keep what you want to eat! Du Yi brought the bad things he had done with his own hands to the doctor, and at the same time made a pot of chrysanthemum tea himself.

Doctor Che shook his head, this girl is smart and smart, and she is extremely cold in the eyes of outsiders, but in front of acquaintances, she likes to play tricks, and if she doesn't force it, it's not good.

"You go pack up and come back with me in the afternoon."

Du Yi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he thought it was time to go back and see how the mountain was doing. This year, we must plant a large field of grapes on the orchard so that we can make wine. That wine is the big money to make.

As a tribute wine for the queen, even if it is a tael of silver per catty, she brews thousands of catties, and she has an income of several thousand taels a year. If you can brew tens of thousands of catties, it means that you have an income of tens of thousands of dollars a year.

"Good!"

It was for Du Yi's simplicity that made Dr. Che stunned for a moment. Immediately reacted quickly, as long as this girl made up her mind, she could learn quickly. It is estimated that in less than two years, her medical skills will be on par with herself.

Since Du Yi handed over the matter of the dessert house to Bai Mei and Ziding, and instructed the two of them to pay attention to the places, he took Xiaoshuai back to Liujia Village, and her every move was under the control of the original.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong in the capital, Ling Yuanfan held a slender note in his hand, looked at it again and again, and muttered in his mouth: "Are you about to turn one year old?" Time flies! ”

Zhongyong Hou Lingsheng had something to look for his son, and as soon as he stepped into the study, he heard his son say something about his birthday, so he asked out loud: "What age is it?" Who wants to celebrate the birthday? ”

Ling Yuanfan had never hidden anything from his father about Du Yi, and when he heard him ask, he subconsciously handed over the note in his hand: "Yi Yi's child is about to be one year old." Dad, what do you think we should send? ”

Ling Sheng took the note and looked at it, then crushed it: "Go back and ask your mother, ask her to prepare her things, and you will go over in person." casually talk to her about the situation between the DPRK and China. The matter of Du Mansion told her not to act rashly. Remember to avoid the one in the house, I don't want to be charged with a big unfilial piety! ”

When Ling Yuanfan heard this, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. If it weren't for that person, it wouldn't be enough for Du Ling to die a few hundred times.
