The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

The next morning, before Gu Yin could go find the county magistrate, Xiang Tao came first.

"You come to see me so early in the morning, is it because you don't have enough cosmetics to sell?" Gu Yin asked Xiang Tao to sit down, raised his eyebrows and guessed.

"Miss, you have a quick mind. You guessed it right at once." Xiang Tao showed her eight big white teeth and enthusiastically described the scene in the store the day before. "Miss, you didn't see it. At that time in the afternoon, a large group of maids suddenly rushed into the store, all scrambling to buy cosmetics for their wives and daughters."

"That must be the credit of Nishang Pavilion's stage performance. When those ladies saw Tingxue and the others looking so extraordinarily beautiful with makeup on, they must have been moved." All this was within expectations. Gu Yin would have been surprised if they hadn't been moved.

"Miss, you used this trick really well. The hot scene caused the shopkeeper of the nearby Furong Pavilion to come to our store to inquire about the situation." Xiang Tao covered her mouth and smiled proudly, "The shopkeeper has always wanted to suppress other shops in the same industry as us. He hid in the crowd yesterday and thought I didn't know."

Furong Pavilion was the cosmetics shop that Gu Yin went to for the first time. The waiter at that time had his eyes raised to the sky. I wonder what he looks like now.

But none of this had anything to do with Gu Yin. She only cared about how much money she made on the first day: "How much did you sell yesterday? How much money did you make?"

From Xiang Tao's description, Tao Huaxiao must have made a name for herself in Ning County.

"Miss, guess what?" Xiang Tao smiled mysteriously.

"Well... according to our previous pricing, a whole set can be sold for 45 taels. If we could sell 100 sets yesterday, that would be 4,500 taels." Gu Yin paused, "Could we sell 100 sets on the first day?"

Xiang Tao gave a thumbs up, the smile on his face never stopped, and he said excitedly: "More than that, to be exact, we sold 103 sets and made 4,635 taels."

"So many!" Gu Yin thought it would be good if he could sell fifty or sixty sets. After all, the price was there, which should be able to dissuade many people.

However, she obviously underestimated women's pursuit of beauty...

"Yeah..." Xiang Tao also sighed and babbled, "One hundred and three sets. I couldn't sell that many in a month before. Besides, when the ladies came to buy before, they only picked one thing to buy. It's not like now. They want a full set right away, and most people want more than one set. I've been doing this business for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a scene."

Xiang Tao patted his chest and said, "This is the first time I've experienced how easy it is to make money."

The money flowed into the account like water.

"Everyone does. It's my first time too." Gu Yin felt the same way.

This is the first time I discovered that selling cosmetics is so profitable. With less effort, I can make much more money than selling clothes.

"But... Miss, there are less than fifty sets left in the store. What if there are not enough to sell in the future?" Xiang Tao was a little worried.

"It's not a big deal. At worst we can close the store once we're sold out." Gu Yin waved her hand indifferently.

"Closing?" Xiang Tao was shocked. It was going to close just after opening. Could this business continue?

"Oh~ It doesn't matter. The New Year is coming soon anyway. It's okay to go home a few days earlier to celebrate the New Year. We can open it after the New Year." Gu Yin explained lightly.

The methods for making cosmetics are all there, but currently only she and Zhenzhu know how to make them. It happens that she doesn't have spare time to do this recently. Besides, the only people who can come to consume are the wealthy people in Ning County, and the market is limited. It would be better to let Zhenzhu make some of them slowly and save them for sale after the New Year.

"But..." Xiang Tao was a little unwilling. She had just tasted the sweetness of making money, but now she was about to close the business.

In fact, she thought that she didn't need to take a rest during the Chinese New Year. Every Chinese New Year was almost the same, so she might as well take this opportunity to make a fortune.

But before Xiang Tao could finish, Butler Li came in and reported: "Miss, there is someone outside the door looking for you."

"Who?" Gu Yin couldn't imagine who would come to see her at this time.

"He said his name was Wu Yinian, and he brought two people with him carrying a box." Butler Li said respectfully.

"Oh, it's him. Let him in." Gu Yin was a little surprised. He actually brought something with him. Could it be...

"Miss, if you have something to do, I will go back first." Xiang Tao stood up.

Although their business was a cooperation, Xiang Tao knew her own limitations. That was why the county lord gave her so much dividend because she respected her. With the county lord's things, anyone could easily make money by selling them.

Therefore, Xiang Tao believed from the bottom of his heart that the county lord was actually his master.

When her master is busy, she, as a subordinate, should naturally stay away.

"It's okay, maybe this has something to do with you too." Gu Yin raised her hand and pressed it down to stop him.

"Is it related to me?" Xiang Tao wondered.

"Just a guess, let's see first." Gu Yin suddenly thought of a possibility.

After a while, Wu Yinian came in with his men and bowed respectfully to Gu Yin: "Miss."

"Let's talk about this later. Sit down and have some tea first." Gu Yin motioned for them to sit on the chairs on the other side.

Zhenzhu quickly went forward to make tea, and soon the steaming aroma of tea wafted out, dispelling the coldness from their bodies...

Wu Yinian drank two sips of hot tea, and felt warm in his heart. Then he happily reported to Gu Yin: "Miss, the perfume is made."

"Indeed! Your efficiency is amazing." Just as Gu Yin guessed, "How many did you make?"

Wu Yinian turned around and motioned the two people who followed him to carry the things forward: "The first batch made three kinds of scents: osmanthus, gardenia and jasmine. There are 300 bottles of osmanthus scent, 200 bottles of gardenia, and fewer bottles of jasmine, 80 bottles."

"So many." Gu Yin was surprised. She guessed that they had made it, but she didn't expect that they could make so many at once.

"This is all thanks to Xiao Mang. He was the one who developed it." Wu Yinian did not dare to take credit for it.

In addition to distilling the essential oils of various flowers, the obtained essential oils must be mixed with alcohol and other things. The proportions are particularly important. This is the formula that Xiao Mang confirmed after repeated attempts.

Wu Yinian did not forget to mention Xiao Mang's contribution, and Gu Yin was very pleased. She did not want the talents she discovered to only care about their own interests. Wu Yinian was very good and broad-minded: "You all have your own contributions, I have noted them all, and I will reward you later."

Wu Yinian's face lit up with joy.

There are three kinds of bottles in the box, which I guess are used to distinguish different scents.

Gu Yin picked up a bottle of perfume and saw a stopper on the small and exquisite bottle mouth, with a small bamboo tube about two inches long protruding from the stopper.

Gently unscrew the lid on the bamboo tube, and instantly a rich osmanthus fragrance wafts out, which smells very pleasant.

"It smells so good..." Xiang Tao couldn't help but exclaimed.
