Manager Zhou hurriedly said a few words of humility, and then reported the progress of the preparation of the makeup shop.
"As you asked, we collected plum blossoms, camellias, daffodils, orchids, etc. However, there are only so many types of flowers that bloom in winter, and the quantity is not very large. Currently, there are only twenty plum trees in bloom in our village.
The amount of daffodils and orchids is also very small, which is far from enough."
Su Yizhao nodded, as expected.
The year before last, she spent more than two thousand taels to buy a village just to plant flowers and plants.
To make powder, she had to extract the essence from flowers and fill the powder with pollen and medicinal materials, so the demand was huge.
After much consideration, she reluctantly spent more than two thousand taels to buy a village in the suburbs of Beijing.
The fried chicken shop has brought her a lot of profits in the past two years. In addition to buying a village, Su Yizhao also bought a hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing near Xicheng, spending nearly 4,000 taels.
Su Yizhao planned to use the hot spring village to grow vegetables in winter, not only to meet the needs of dignitaries, but also for his own fried chicken shop.
Such a large hot spring village is divided into more than 800 acres of farmland, and more than 400 acres of small forest.
There is nothing to grow on the dozens of acres of land near the entrance of the hot spring. The original owner built a house on it for the purpose of relaxing in the hot spring. In winter, you can stay in the village for a while and enjoy the warm winter.
Two months ago, Su Yizhao bought a three-in-one yard in Wuyi Lane near Beicheng, spending more than three thousand taels.
So far, most of the money earned in the shop in the past two years has been used by Su Yizhao to purchase private properties.
Now Su Yizhao still has about 4,000 taels of silver in his hand, and the powder shop still has to invest several hundred taels in the early stage.
"You can buy the shop, but you must decorate it as I ordered as soon as possible. Although the investment in the powder shop is high, it is relatively easy to make money. If there are not enough people picking flower petals over there, go to the village and hire them.
It is not the busy farming season these days, so men, women, old and young are all sitting at home with nothing to do. If they can earn some money, they will surely not be reluctant."
Su Yizhao bought a lot of servants before, but when it came time to hire people, he still felt that there were few people.
If Yuerong and Yueqiu hadn't been able to leave the house, she would have sent them out to do things long ago. How could she let them spend all day in the house being sentimental and worrying about gains and losses?
Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is not easy for ordinary people to make some money. How can they be willing to give up such a good opportunity?
Manager Zhou suddenly had an idea. He couldn't help but admired: "Young master is still smart, I have to change my mind quickly. You don't have to do this yourself, you can also hire some short-term workers."
"I'm reluctant to buy anyone!" Su Yizhao said with a smile.
The two joked for a while, and then discussed the workshop for making powder for a long time.
"Are they all familiar with the recipes I taught you before?"
In Su Yizhao's previous life, he had a roommate who liked to make some skin care products and cosmetics by himself, saying that he was worried about using those bought from outside.
When my roommates are obsessed with these things, they often buy some related books to read. Sometimes they also search for ancient books and ancient beauty recipes, and make them together with a roommate in the dormitory.
Although Su Yizhao has only participated in it a few times, when he is bored, he will read the books and prescriptions casually.
She couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, her roommate's perseverance impressed her and made her cooperate. Otherwise, she would have lost her way to make money now.
"I have checked it out, and it is very close to what you made. I have selected a few people to try it, and the effect is not bad! Each type has been tested, and there is a kind of jade cream, and the effect is very surprising.
, very nourishing for the skin.”
Speaking of this, Manager Zhou was also full of praise.
My son actually knows all these things and has created as many as sixteen categories.
Su Yizhao was a little proud, "That's natural. The formula of Yuyan Cream contains several nourishing herbs, including pearl powder."
In fact, the most important thing is that she added a lot of camellia essential oil in it.
The essential oil of camellia can make facial skin white, tender, smooth and elastic. Su Yizhao did not use this essential oil less.
"There are also the porcelain bottles, porcelain boxes, wooden boxes and gift boxes that I mixed before. Be sure to prepare enough. I'll give you a month and a half, that's about it, right?"
Su Yizhao wanted to open a cosmetics shop as soon as possible so that he could make money faster.
Manager Zhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, you have plenty of time."
"It's just that I have to go back to Beiyuan Mansion this time, and it will take two months at the earliest. I've left all this to you, so you have to work harder."
Su Yizhao thought for a while and handed a leaflet he had written before to Manager Zhou.
"In the first half month of the opening, you print more than a thousand copies of this flyer, arrange for more people, and distribute it everywhere in the capital. Distribute it to people you see. Of course, forget it in Beicheng."
Su Yizhao had a headache, and it was also an unlucky timing. It was just that there were not many flowers on her farm before, otherwise she would have opened this makeup shop long ago.
And those flowers are seasonal, unlike in the previous life, they were available all year round. Now that there are more flowers, Su Yizhao will naturally not let this winter go.
"Remember! When you see those servants from wealthy families coming out to buy, you should give out a few copies and some small gifts for free."
The small gifts were what Su Yizhao had specially instructed before. Trial units would be packed in smaller gift boxes and specially given to servants from wealthy families.
Her cosmetics shop is on the mid- to high-end route, and because the cost is not low, it will naturally not be cheap.
There are not many cheap ones, but not many, only two or three kinds.
"In short, you implement the steps I gave you step by step and make adjustments as you watch. If you are really undecided, just write to me."
Su Yizhao gave the instructions uneasily, and Manager Zhou complied with them one by one.
"The shop will be closed these days and will reopen on the 13th of the first lunar month. Let everyone have a good rest during this period. Each person will receive one tael of red envelopes, and the accountants and stewards will each receive 10 taels."
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Su Yizhao will not be stingy.
She didn't have time to celebrate the New Year with the servants she bought, so she could only give some red envelopes.
In fact, what everyone wants is benefits, and whether she shows up or not is not that important.
"Young Master is very generous. I would like to thank you for those servants."
Manager Zhou sighed in his heart that this young master was so willing.
In fact, the young master will also give out rewards from time to time on weekdays, ranging from dozens of coins to hundreds of coins. This is because of the gentleman's arrogance.
"This is for you separately. At the end of the year, there are frequent visits between relatives and relatives in my house, so I am afraid that I will not have time to take care of it, so I will give it to you in advance. You can also bring Zhu San's to him to encourage me."
Su Yizhao first took out a red envelope and handed it to Manager Zhou, and then placed another smaller envelope next to the account book.
Manager Zhou understood immediately and quickly thanked him.
It feels very thin, and it goes without saying that it is a banknote.
