Chapter Seventy-Seven: Buying the Yard

"Your Majesty will give me a bowl of medicine every time, saying that it is good for my health and can help me get pregnant as soon as possible."

Here's the problem, that bowl is definitely not a fetal pill, but a child-avoiding drug.

Thinking of this, she still opened her mouth tactfully.

"Next time, you can stop using this medicine and see if you will get pregnant."

Yu Youwei didn't react, but Mrs. Yu on the side reacted and asked with a frightened face.

"So that's a child-avoidance drug?"

Yu Yaozhi thinks this person is not a fool? The partition wall has ears and this is in the inner courtyard of the palace.

After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, she realized that she also felt inappropriate, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

"It's okay, it may be that the concubine is not able to make up for that kind of tonic medicine."

"If tonic is used in the wrong place, it will not be good for the body."

Yu Miaozhi tactfully asked Yu Youwei to stop the medicine.

I hope she's smart, not as stupid as her mother.

After saying this, the mother and daughter booed and asked for warmth.

I was ready to leave the palace.

Mrs. Yu saw that she had some skills, and asked in the carriage.

"What you're talking about, but someone superior taught you?"

"What?"

Yu Miaozhi didn't understand what Mrs. Yu wanted to express.

"Who is your master?"

Mrs. Yu didn't beat around the bush anymore and asked directly.

"I don't have a master, I learned it all from my own books."

You can't say that you came through time!

I can't show my skills that others can't understand.

How can it be too sharp.

Mrs. Yu was not very satisfied with this answer. But she also guessed Yu Miaozhi's attitude, she shouldn't want to say anything to her anymore, so she was silent all the way.

When the carriage arrived at Yu's mansion, Yu Yao got off the carriage and left.

Back at the store, she was going to discuss the store's income with Huzi first, and at the same time, she was going to prepare the raw materials.

I heard from Huzi that there is a street in the east that sells flowers, and many people who make rouge go there to buy them. However, the capital is not rich in flowers, and flowers need to be transported from the countryside.

Shipping costs also need to be factored in.

How can we reduce transportation costs? From ancient times to the present, transportation costs have been a big problem.

Yu Yaozhi followed Huzi all the way to the east and saw many petals and scattered flowers on the ground.

She knows that these losses in selling flowers are normal, and there will be losses in any business.

But how can you reduce the losses, or use them to make raw materials?

"Hey, why are your flowers pressed so underneath, how can I take them back and arrange them."

Yu Yaozhi disrupted his train of thought and looked up at the source of the sound.

I saw a woman standing in front of a flower shop, shouting with her waist crossed.

The flower shop owner also felt embarrassed and lowered his head and said.

"This girl, there is a loss in buying flowers, and the flowers will inevitably be pressed on the carriage."

"Then you press it like this, we can't use it at all!"

Seeing that the woman was very angry.

"Is it okay if I give you some of my money?"

The owner of the flower shop knew that it was a problem with transportation, but he did not hide the problem.

"Yes, pay me 30%."

After the woman finished speaking, the owner of the flower shop sighed and went to the shop to get the silver for her.

After watching the whole process, Yu Miaozhi was ready to think of ideas from the transportation.

She went into the store and looked at the flowers.

Well... Sure enough, it was not very fresh, and many of the flowers had already been crushed.

However, the crushed flowers do not affect the production of rouge lipstick, which originally needs to be pressed to extract the juice and wax oil.

"I wonder if the boss is willing to sell me the flowers that are broken every day at a discount?"

The shopkeeper was surprised to hear that she was willing to buy broken flowers.

"I wonder what the girl is for using it?"

"That's right, we want to use it as a raw material for lipstick, and we don't want all kinds of flowers."

"I want some nice colored flowers, roses, spider plants, etc."

When the shopkeeper heard that she could buy the damaged flowers, he already felt that he had solved a big problem.

Yu Yaozhi was going to inquire about how ordinary shops buy flowers.

"Dare to ask the boss, how do those famous rouge shops get the goods?"

"Most of them have their own carriages, and some of them will buy a lot of flowers that are bad and can't be broken."

The shopkeeper explained one by one.

Yu Jiaozhi felt that it was not a long-term solution to only use broken flowers to make lipstick, so he could send someone to follow him in person, or change the transportation method.

She discussed the shipping with the store.

In this way, it is said that the store has gone to the heart, and the store also feels that transportation is a big problem.

"Usually we use horse-drawn carts to transport them, and the flowers at the bottom will inevitably be crushed, so naturally they can't be sold."

"We've also tried a lot of things, and if you increase the cost of transportation, the cost of flowers will be relatively higher."

The cost is high, the price will naturally be higher, and you know the truth when doing business.

There has always been no shortage of flowers in Shaoyang County, although Shaoyang County is a little richer, but there are also many fields. There are many people in the capital and there is little land, so naturally every inch of land is expensive.

Thinking about it, Yu Yaozhi was ready to start from the source.

Tie up the flowers with strips of cloth and put them as vertically as possible, and install a baffle next to the carriage.

The carriage could be made slightly larger so that the flowers were not piled up and the flowers were better protected.

"This shopkeeper, if this is crushed, you will also take it away?"

"Nature."

Anyway, if it fails, there is this woman who accepts it all.

What could be more tempting than a lost flower that doesn't rot in your own hands?

After the problem of shipping flowers, it is necessary to find some girls who can make rouge lipstick.

Most of the girls who have skills have been hired by famous shops, and the rest of the girls who are not skilled also need to learn from teachers.

I brought two highly skilled girls from Shaoyang County, so that those who wanted to learn some real skills followed the apprenticeship. In this way, there are people who can learn the skills and take charge of themselves.

The girl who brought the capital from Shaoyang County by herself, one has better skills, and the other has a smarter mind. The two of them had a good partner in the Shaoyang County head office before, and Yu Yaozhi brought them together.

After all, one more helper can make you less hard.

"Apprentices?"

Both girls were pleasantly surprised.

"The two of us have been working for so long, and we haven't confiscated apprentices, which is new!"

Hearing that there were raw materials and preparing to accept apprentices, the two were also very happy. After all, with an apprentice doing some simple work, it will always be much easier for him.

Yu Mizhi felt that it was not a way to stay in the inn all the time. I still have to find a small yard to live in, after all, I have to live in the capital for a long time.

She was going to go around the alley first, if there was a cleaner but cheaper yard, and looked at the rented houses on the street, but she didn't expect to be found quickly.

It's not far from the rouge shop, but you need to walk two alleys.

And it's been cleaned up by the owner, and there is no need to add anything. The proprietor said that he was going to change the yard to a larger one, so the smaller one was shelved.

Yu Yaozhi is naturally very happy to have his own yard.
