lady, please calm down

Chapter 98 The Cat's Ambition

"Sister Mao'er, you are really capable. You have managed this village so well."

In Luliu Wei.

Zhang Bao's wife Xu Wan'er couldn't help sighing.

She was a little sloppy, Mao'er put her hand on Xu Wan'er's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Wan'er is embarrassing to Mao'er, this Zhuangzi's current situation is all due to the hard work of my family officials and brothers, Mao'er dare not Take credit."

The place where the two held hands and talked was more than 100 steps away directly opposite Cai's house.

This place was originally an open space, but now a row of new houses have been erected for Wu Kui and Peng Er, who have been fleeing for a long time at the foot of the mountain.

Next to the new house, a tofu shop was built. Aunt Yao and several women took care of it on weekdays, supplying food for Shizipo Hotel and Nongken Group.

As for the mouth cream and soap workshop, Maoer is in charge of it herself. After all, it involves core secrets such as product ingredients and ratios, and she needs to prepare it herself.

"You, don't pretend to be in front of me. Nowadays, no one knows that the wife of Chen Dutou's family is capable, and the supply of lip balm and soap is in short supply. Even my natal sister-in-law knows it."

Speaking of this, Xu Wan'er seemed to suddenly think of another thing, and said: "By the way, speaking of my sister-in-law, her natal family is from Caizhou next door. It seems that there is no agent for our Yurong Xiangzhuang in the local area, right? She Knowing that I am on good terms with you, you asked me to ask, can you let her take the Caizhou agent?"

"Sister, it's not that I don't know. The output of my workshop is not enough to supply our sisters. I really can't tell the difference."

Mao'er and Xu Wan'er walked forward a few steps arm in arm, just in time to meet Liu Erhu, captain of the Luliuwei Joint Defense Team, running with a group of young adults.

"Meet the big lady."

Following Liu Erhu's greeting, all the young and strong clasped their fists unskillfully.

The cat pursed her lips and smiled slightly, bowing down to return the salute.

After the young and strong people ran away, Xu Wan'er continued: "Sister Maoer, the output of the workshop is not enough, it is better to expand the scale. If money is tight, I will contact a few sisters and you to make up some money, and we will consider it as a shareholding. After earning money, it’s better than spending a few dimes a day and having to ask a man to ask for it.”

"Sister, there is no stable business in this world. I can't guarantee that my sisters will earn back after investing money. If they lose money by then, they should come to find cats again, right?"

Mao'er replied with a smile, but Xu Wan'er was very concerned about this matter, and continued: "Sister, don't worry, even if you lose, we won't say anything about it."

In this workshop, the cat will not allow others to participate.

But Xu Wan'er's officials have a very good relationship with her own officials. Mao'er thought about it, and said in a face-saving way: "This workshop is not yet ready to expand, but there is another business. I wonder if my sister is interested. ?”

"Oh? What business."

"Only for our women's business."

"My good sister, don't be a fool! My sister is stupid, explain it clearly"

"Well, this business is called a beauty salon, but it can also be called a women's club."

"Beauty salon?"

"Well, where only women are allowed in and out, you can do skin care, facial cleansing, and hair care."

Mao'er said a lot of things, some of which Xu Wan'er understood, but some of which Xu Wan'er didn't understand.

During this period of time, in addition to the lip balm and soap that can be sold as finished products, Chen Chu also tinkered with cats on many things in his spare time.

For example, use the appendages produced by refining soap: glycerin, honey, milk, and courgette juice to make a secret face cream.

Shampoo made with neem seeds, saponins, fleece-flower root and rose essential oils.
However, these things can be made, but limited by the current lack of sterilization and packaging methods, they cannot be stored for a long time.

If the shelf life is too short, it means that it cannot be transported and sold.

There is a good thing but there is no way to exchange it for money. The cat thinks that it is a kitten living in it.

Finally, after two days of hard thinking, Mao'er discussed with Chen Chu: "Officer, can we open a shop, the shop is full of women from top to bottom, to wash the face and hair of rich women and young ladies, in that case, face cream And shampoo can be made and used immediately. In this way, there will be no problem of spoilage.”

At that time, Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Isn't this the women's beauty and skin care club?"

The cat memorized this word, and asked the officials a lot, and also wrote down new words such as "membership system" and "invitation system".

When Xu Wan'er heard this, she was very interested, and then carefully looked at the cat's delicate and delicate face, she couldn't help but suddenly realized: "Good little cat, why don't you take out such a good thing and share it with your sister sooner?" I also said, over the past month or so, seeing your little face getting whiter and tenderer day by day, I thought you were a monster! It turns out that there is such a good thing as a secret face cream!"

As Xu Wan'er said, she stretched out her hand to scratch the cat's itchy flesh, and the cat begged for mercy and said, "Good sister, didn't I take it out?"

"Hmph~ This is such a club, I have to count it as my sister."

Xu Wan'er laughed a little, and let go of her hand with a sense of intimacy and sense of proportion.

"Since Mao'er said it, she wants to do it with my sister."

"Okay, how much will it cost?"

"I haven't calculated it yet, but it will cost a lot of money. First, we need to find a suitable courtyard in the city. It needs to be quiet and elegant."

When Maoer said this, the appearance of Caiwei Pavilion could not help appearing in his mind.

Although she had never been inside, she knew that the interior was quiet and luxurious after a hasty glance through the door in the back alley.

"If you need more money, I'll find some other sisters. The ladies from Ximen's family are also good talkers, as well as my natal sisters."

"Well, sister, you can find more sisters. But there is one thing that needs to be clarified, there are too many bosses here, and everyone can't tell me what to do. We need to elect three to five people to form a board of directors"

"Even the board of directors?"

"Well, it's the person who makes daily management decisions. That's what I say from my official hometown."

"it is good."

Xu Wan'er was a little excited.

Even though she was born in a wealthy family, as a woman, she can hardly participate in any family decision-making, and after marriage, she does not stay out of the door. Now that she has this opportunity, she has a feeling of 'to achieve something great' A sense of heroism.

"Mao'er, wait for my good news! I'll bring you some prominent ladies in Tongshan County!"

"."

After hearing this, Mao'er didn't feel happy like Xu Wan'er, but drooped her eyelids instead.

Xu Wan'er is also a smart person, she immediately guessed what Mao'er was thinking, she couldn't help but smiled meaningfully, and said: "Sister, don't worry, sister won't invite Mrs. Cai San."

Mid-autumn night two months ago.

The eldest lady of the Chen family was told to cry by the third lady Cai. Many people have seen this incident.

In addition, it was rumored in the yamen that Chen Chu and Cai San had an affair.
In short, many people know that Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Cai are incompatible.

Judging from the current situation, the two are indeed at odds.
In fact, Mao'er wanted to be a women's club, so she might not have planned to compete with Cai Wei.

You, Cai Hua, have a family background, but my cat also has a bureaucrat who loves to invent!

In the future, you may not be as good as me!

Apart from these small thoughts, she is not at a loss when it comes to business.

In the future, she will process the cream and shampoo before bringing them to the club.

In this way, there is no risk of leaking secrets. Not only earning cream money, but also a dividend after the club makes a profit.
This small abacus is played, the thief is loud!
While the two were talking, Yunong in beautiful clothes took Chen Chu's hand and bounced towards Cai's house.

Because Mao'er and Xu Wan'er stood a little far away, they didn't pay attention to this side.

When Yu Nong and Chen Chu entered, Xu Zhiyuan, who was working in the editorial department of Xikuayuan Toutiao, and Chen Yingjun, who came to visit the class, just walked out.

Usually, this group of scholars with their eyes above the top, met Yunong and bowed their hands first, saying: "Master Chen"

After entering Yanliuhang, she has nothing to do with her former family, so Yu Nong has no surname. Her surname 'Chen' is a temporary surname she gave when introducing each other to these new colleagues.

Coincidentally, it has the same surname as Chen Chu.

These scholars are so polite, naturally because they know that Yu Nong is the "Yu Nong" who pleads for the people and writes poems that are sometimes graceful and sometimes strange.
It's a pity that such a talented and strange woman actually became a soap-clothed concubine.
"Sister, it wasn't my sister who said you, you are too forgiving when you treat servants! Look at her appearance, she is still holding Chen Dutou's hand, and the clothes on her body are more luxurious than ours. If you don't know, you may think her It's the old lady of the Chen family!"

Xu Wan'er is not provocative, as a lady in the main family, she naturally has some resistance to the 'little one'.

"It's okay, Yunong is just a bit petite." Mao'er looked at the gate of the house and said with a chuckle.

She had already figured out Yunong's temper, but she lost her guard.

until
I saw the eldest son driving an ox cart and parked in front of the house, pulling a cart full of various furniture.

The cat who said 'it's okay' just now walked over immediately.

"Official?"

In front of the house, the cat called softly, and Chen Chu, who was standing on the steps, turned his head, first smiled and cupped his hands to Xu Wan'er, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you see brother Zhang Bao come with you today?"

"He is on duty in the camp today." Xu Wan'er smiled, but couldn't stop looking at the car full of furniture.

Chen started to go down the steps and explained a few words softly in Mao'er's ear.

When Maoer heard that Yunong was going to live in Cai's house, the image of two big white worms rolling around couldn't be restrained in his mind.

But Chen Chu's reason was very good. Cai Wei was worried that the Guisun Xunfang had tricked her, and Mao'er, as the head of the house, had to help protect Yunong.

After thinking about it, Mao'er Wan'er smiled, and said to Yunong: "Let's go, let's go to the back house to see if there is anything that needs to be repaired. I will clean it up tomorrow. You will live with me on the mountain for the next two days. After tidying up, come down the mountain to live."

Standing aside, Chen Chu put his hands behind his back, with an expression of indifference.

It's impossible for you to tidy up the yard for two months, right?

I can't wait another two days!

But I don't want to, the cat who just stepped through the courtyard gate said to Yunong again: "It just so happens that Hutou is studying at the foot of the mountain now, and I am also busy at the foot of the mountain every day. When the yard is tidied up, I will move here with you, which will save money I'm scared of you living here alone."

"..., sister, Yu Nong is not afraid, Yu Nong wants to live by herself."

"Hehe, no, you don't want to!"
