The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

At the dinner table, Gu Yin rolled her eyes and asked casually, "Brother, do your classmates have many sisters?"

Gu Chenshuo was stunned: "Why did my sister suddenly ask this?"

Could it be that Song Ruorou and Ye Ningxin had gone home, and she was bored and wanted to make some more friends? But this was reasonable. Gu Chenshuo was thinking whether he should ask around and see which family had a girl of the same age as his sister who had a better personality.

"Of course there is something going on. Can you tell me first?"

"I've heard them talk about it occasionally, so there should be some. Do you want to make new friends?" Gu Chenshuo said vaguely.

"Uh... not."

"No?" Gu Chenshuo asked puzzledly.

"It's like this. The Nishang Pavilion that mother founded is going to open in a few days. I have discussed with mother and plan to set up a stage to hold a fashion show. But the weather is cold now, and the ladies of the families don't go out much, so I thought of promoting it first." Gu Yin paused, and then said, "Brother, your classmates are all from well-off families. It's a good opportunity for them to go home and tell their wives at home so that they can go and watch the fun."

"This..." Gu Chenshuo was a little hesitant and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gu Yin saw his embarrassed look and knew what he was worried about. She said disapprovingly, "Brother, you don't have to worry about it. Just mention it when you chat with your classmates. Don't worry, we don't mean to force them to buy it. It's just that the winter is long, and now there is something lively to join in. Maybe they will be happy to come out and exercise."

There were not as many activities as in later times, and the roads were not convenient. Ordinary people might not go to the county town once in their lifetime. Not to mention the women in the harem, the activities they usually participated in were just outings outside the city in spring, or flower-viewing banquets held by some wealthy family, and various festivals. The activities they could participate in were really limited.

I believe many people would be interested in watching free performances in this winter.

Gu Chenshuo pursed his lips and nodded hesitantly: "I... will try my best."

"Mom, you see my brother doesn't support your business." Gu Yin turned around and complained to Xue who was sitting diagonally opposite.

Xue was helpless, as her daughter started teasing her family again: "You, stop teasing your brother."

After that, he said gently to Gu Chenshuo: "Shuo'er, make your own decision. If you don't want to mention it, don't mention it. It's okay. Besides, we will also make preparations, so don't feel pressured."

"Mom, I know." Gu Chenshuo nodded gently, and then asked, "When do you plan to open the business?"

"December 22nd." Gu Yin took a mouthful of rice and said vaguely.

"That only leaves seven or eight days. Is it enough time?"

"No problem!" Gu Yin said with confidence.

No matter how hard it is, just go for it!

The next day, Gu Yin took Zhenzhu to every corner of the county and finally gathered the necessary raw materials.

Early in the morning of the third day,

"Miss, what shall we do first?"

It's time to start doing something big, and Pearl looks eager to try.

"Make glycerin first." Gu Yin said decisively, "This is the basis."

"How to do?"

"Distillation." Gu Yin was glad that her original distillation equipment was still there, so she didn't have to go through the trouble of rebuilding it from scratch.

"Whatever you need from me, please tell me, miss."

"Bring the lard."

"it is good."

After that, the two of them stopped talking. Gu Yin put the lard into the distillation bottle, checked that all parts of the distillation equipment were sealed intact, and then started the fire for high-temperature distillation.

Under high temperature and high pressure, the triesters in the oil molecules are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. The glycerol will enter the cooler along with the water vapor and liquid glycerol will be obtained through the condensation process.

Gu Yin was busy all day long. After constant attempts and adjustments, he finally succeeded in collecting a full can of glycerin at dusk.

"Okay, these should be enough for the next few days." Gu Yin's voice jumped with joy. She didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She thought it would take at least two days to do this, but it was done in one day. "With glycerin, the rest will be much simpler."

For several days, Gu Yin was immersed in the research and development of cosmetics. Until two days before the opening, the housekeeper came to pass on a message: "Miss, there is a woman named Xiang Tao outside the door looking for you."

"Xiang Tao?" Gu Yin raised her head from the experiment. "Please invite her to the hall. I'll be there soon."

After saying this, he continued to lower his head to complete the last step in his hand before quickly walking towards the hall.

"Miss, did I disturb you?" As soon as Xiang Tao saw Gu Yin, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, apologetically asking.

Gu Yin waved her hand casually and walked forward to sit down: "It's okay, I just finished my work. Why are you here?"

Speaking of meaning, Xiang Tao looked happy: "Miss, the store is all packed up!"

"You're so efficient! Have you sold all your previous inventory?" Gu Yin raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Yeah, I sold them all at a 50% discount. A lot of people are scrambling to buy them." Xiang Tao sold all the items in the shop at a 50% discount. Unexpectedly, the ladies rushed to buy them like crazy, as if they were free. Thinking of the hot scene in the shop in those two days, Xiang Tao smiled a little deeper. The inventory was cleared out, and he made a small profit.

"Well done." Being able to clear out the inventory in such a short time shows that Xiang Tao is also a decisive woman.

"Thank you, Miss. I have already renovated the store as you asked, so I came here to ask what you are going to do next?" The store did not undergo a major renovation, so it only took a few days. Xiang Tao mainly adjusted the furnishings and added some decorative items to make the store look more elegant and bright.

Gu Yin originally thought that it would take a long time to reorganize the Xiangtao store, so she thought that the cosmetics store would not open until after the New Year, and the earliest would be two days close to the New Year. But now it can be opened earlier, which is great.

These days she has been constantly trying out various cosmetic recipes. Every time she makes something, Pearl makes more according to the recipe. So far, she has made about a hundred copies of each cosmetic.

Gu Yin was not sure if these were enough to support the opening of the business, so she thought for a moment and asked, "I have made about a hundred cosmetics here, do you think it's enough to support the opening of the business?"

"Miss, are you saying that there are more than a hundred copies of each item?" Xiang Tao asked to confirm.

"Yes." Gu Yin nodded, "I'll arrange to make more in two days."

"It should be possible." Xiang Tao pondered for a moment and said slowly, "To be honest, Miss, I could only sell about a hundred copies a month before."

After hearing what Xiang Tao said, Gu Yin immediately decided to open the cosmetics store and Nishang Pavilion on the same day, and then told Xiang Tao about this idea.

Xiang Tao agreed: "I'll listen to you, young lady! But what should we name our shop?"

"The peach blossoms are smiling." Gu Yin blurted out, "I don't know where the person has gone, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze."
