When the gold paper is opened, the scent sealed inside floats out instantly. It is light but fragrant, but it can be smelled clearly, just like "the ice and snow have just melted, and the ice is pure and pure."
Shopkeeper Wu can swear that he has been working as a rouge shop for so many years and has handled so many spices, but he has never smelled such good spices.
Gu Qingling slightly raised the corners of her lips and said, "This is water jade incense, a clear water jade vat, as jagged as snow."
She pointed to the recess where the incense pills were placed, and saw a small label with the words "Shuiyuxiang" written on it.
Without Gu Qingling's instructions, shopkeeper Wu quickly took away the other meatballs. Sure enough, he saw words in each pit, including "Wanxuanxiang", "Ersexiang", "Zidexiang", "Putuxiang", "筭来"
There are twelve names, including "the fragrance of wealth", "the fragrance of chaos", "the fragrance of thieves", "the fragrance of gentlemen", and "the fragrance of messengers".
He opened another one a little, and sure enough he found that it was completely different from the previous "Shuiyuxiang", and its meaning was "incomparable in its ingenious appearance."
Shopkeeper Wu instantly gained confidence and said that as long as there is a recipe for this thing, it will definitely amaze a bunch of noble people.
"Well, I'll leave the recipe to you. I believe Shopkeeper Wu will not let me down." Gu Qingling smiled, took out the formula from the bottom of the box, and handed it to Shopkeeper Wu.
Shopkeeper Wu was very excited. He didn't expect that Gu Qingling trusted him so much and repeatedly said that he would never let his boss down.
At this time, Uncle Yao took the 5,000 taels of silver notes, found Wen Haoze, and told him that he wanted to cooperate with him.
Uncle Yao made it very clear that he was not trying to take advantage of the situation, but that he had no business experience and was paying tuition.
Having just received someone else's prescription, Wen Haoze naturally agreed happily.
He remembered that yesterday he was called into the study by the old man, his father and others, and they stayed up late to talk, and his heart was filled with joy.
At that time, everyone was still using bath beans. Unexpectedly, the Yao family actually came up with an upgraded version of bath beans. Not only was it easy to use, but its shape and aroma were all top-notch. It was said to be a recipe, but there were twelve ways to make it.
If the craftsmanship is combined at will, and there is no telling how many kinds of soaps can be prepared, the more Wen Haoze thinks about it, the more he feels that he has made a lot of money.
He told Uncle Yao: "It's a simple business. It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. Just buy a few slaves who know how."
That good friend looked like he completely regarded Uncle Yao as one of his own.
Uncle Yao was a little confused: "It's okay, like this?!"
——Holy shit!
——So, whether you understand business or not is actually not important at all?!
——Then his mother still gives him the money? Can’t she just buy a few people herself...
Instantly, Uncle Yao thought of the capable "Shopkeeper Wu".
Uncle Yao: "..."
So it’s not that his mother is too busy, but that his mother wants to find a way out for him and let him do something practical?
Suddenly, the blood all over Uncle Yao's body began to boil.
He really didn't expect that his mother also loved him and was not as "cold and heartless" as he thought, otherwise his mother would not have given him the money.
He always thought that his mother only liked the second brother and would only give him any benefits, but now...
Uncle Yao felt a little guilty, feeling that he was really sorry for his mother that he missed her so much.
Gu Qingling: "..."
——No, you didn't "think" wrong, the original owner was indeed like this, but now I am your "mother".
——If a son doesn’t make money and “honors” his mother, should he be left as a waste?
Of course, Uncle Yao would not be so stupid as to think that just buying any slave who can make money will make him money.
After all, weren't Mrs. Yao's several shops handed over to shopkeepers who knew how to make money, but as a result, they "lost money every day" and ended up in a place where they "could not make ends meet" and had to sell the shops?
Otherwise, when Mrs. Yao got married, there were still four or five shops, and there would not be only one or two left now. Mrs. Yao gritted her teeth and stayed to support the scene.
Hearing Uncle Yao mention the store's loss problem, Wen Haoze's eyes widened: "I'm just selling rice noodles. Is this going to be a loss? What does your shopkeeper do? If he can't make money, he needs to be replaced."
"But, he is following an old man in my family. Wouldn't it be nice to replace him just because he can't make money?" Uncle Yao hesitated. After all, the shopkeeper is his wife's mother-in-law, so she is the most loyal person.
I can't even run a store well, so if I need to change someone else, is there any difference?
Wen Haoze was a little speechless, and began to teach Uncle Yao some tricks in business. For example, if a store suffered a loss, it was either because the shopkeeper lacked ability, or because the shopkeeper "stuffed his own pockets" and had done something wrong.
He asked Uncle Yao to send someone to guard the door of the store to check the number of people coming in and out of the store every day, and then compared the accounts reported by the shopkeeper. The difference was huge. Needless to say, the shopkeeper must have tampered with it.
Uncle Yao: "..."
So, sometimes things that cannot be seen in the ledger can be seen by using another method, right?
Uncle Yao was thoughtful and decided to go back and give it a try.
Although Mrs. Yao's shop is in the capital and is still some distance away from Yunyang City, it shouldn't be a problem if he just tells his mother to run back for a few days, right?
When Mrs. Yao heard that Uncle Yao wanted to check the store for her and find out the reason for the loss, she was naturally eager to do so and agreed wholeheartedly.
Anyway, it was just something she kept to show off her face. She didn’t know what was going on. If it didn’t work, she might as well give it to her husband. Besides, even the old lady began to trust her husband and gave her 5,000 taels of silver.
My husband, is she still afraid of what her husband will do?
After being married for so many years, Mrs. Yao finally realized that maybe Uncle Yao didn't have much ability, but he was still a "gentleman".
Such a man would never think about his wife's dowry.
When Uncle Yao told Gu Qingling, Gu Qingling was a little surprised: "You actually want to check your wife's shop? Has your wife agreed?"
From the memory of the original owner, Gu Qingling knew that there were several shops in Mrs. Yao's dowry, and that two of them were still the original owner's initiative. They lost money and had to be sold in the end.
To put it bluntly, the original owner took a fancy to Mrs. Yao's shop and wanted to make money from Mrs. Yao's shop.
But Mrs. Yao kept a close watch and wouldn't let the original owner touch it.
The original owner was so angry. The more you didn't let me touch it, the more I wanted to touch it. So she found someone to bribe the shopkeeper, made the store a loss, and then sold it at a "low price" - in fact, the store fell into the hands of the original owner.
.
It would be okay if the original owner knew how to run the business, but she turned out to think that the shopkeeper had "betrayed" Mrs. Yao, and must be a disloyal one. Not only did she change the shopkeeper, but she also changed the business in the store.
Mrs. Yao is not a person who knows how to do business, and neither is the original owner, so...
In less than a year, the original owner really made a "loss" of the store, and it became a hot potato. In the end, it had to be sold at a low price.
In other words, the original owner wanted to make money by purchasing Mrs. Yao's store at a "low price", but what he didn't expect was that the original owner suffered a heavy loss.
As for Mrs. Yao, the most profitable shops were destroyed by their original owners, leaving the two least profitable ones.
Gu Qingling: "..."
——I hope Uncle Yao can't find out, otherwise she will have to bear the blame.
——Damn, the original owner is really a fool!
——When you cheat on your daughter-in-law, aren’t you cheating on your son? It’s really...
