After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Time was running out, and having made the decision, Jin Chu no longer hesitated.

After returning that day, she told Huizhen and Huizhen's mother about her thoughts.

After a busy fortnight, Huizhen and her mother were exhausted. It was only because they had signed a written agreement with the beauty shop, and because their cosmetics were unexpectedly popular, that the three of them persevered.

Despite such hard work, the demand still cannot meet the supply, which means that the business of Yangyanfang cannot be supported by the ability of only three people.

Since this is the case, we naturally have to find a way to solve this problem, and hiring people becomes an unavoidable step.

But thinking that Jinchu's cosmetics recipe could not be passed on to others, Huizhen and her daughter became hesitant again. To be able to make so much money in a short period of time, the recipe was of great significance, so naturally it had to be kept secret.

Although hiring people solved the tedious process of making cosmetics and freed up Jinchu and Huizhen's time so that they no longer had to work on the production process themselves all day long, how could they ensure the confidentiality of the subsequent work?

Jin Chu also has his own considerations on this issue.

Only she and Huizhen knew the ratio of the raw materials of the powder and soap. The people hired were only allowed to operate a single process, which was divided into three or four steps. The final fusion, refining, and molding were still completed by Jinchu Huizhen.

Even if the hired guy knows what he is doing, he doesn't know what others are doing. Even if he knows what the other party is doing, he cannot accurately grasp and develop the final ratio and fusion and refining process.

Taking a step back, even if they were really developed by accident, Jin Chu would not worry that it would affect her sales. After all, she was the inventor of these cosmetics, and the later comers could only be considered stealing her skills.

If the name is not correct, the words will not go well, and if the words are not good, then things will not happen.

He could make some small profits privately by stealing Jin Chu's skills, but he would never dare to openly compete with Jin Chu for business.

After hearing Jinchu's plan, Huizhenniang asked, "After we hire people, where will we do the production? Although we have enough space in this house, since we plan to separate the operations, shouldn't we just divide the hired people up into several different areas? This way, we can prevent them from getting to know each other and spying on each other!"

Jinchu thought this was a good idea, so he looked at Huizhen's mother and discussed it with her, "Aunt, I'll rent two more secluded houses and separate us. You and Huizhen can take the raw materials to the teaching inspection before work every day, and bring back the semi-finished products after work. Do you think this will work?"

Huizhen nodded and said that this was a good idea. If the guys were on their own, it would reduce the possibility of them finding out about each other.

Seeing her agreement, Jin Chu continued, "Give the guys a day off every six days. We'll use this day to blend the finished balm and then secretly send it to the beauty salon. That way, we won't have to worry about the guys spying on our later fusion process!"

"Jin'er, this idea is good. I'll do as you say!"

Huizhen gave Jinchu a thumbs-up, and all the worries in her heart disappeared. "Then Jin'er, let's go find a house and hire some servants tomorrow! The sooner we find one, the sooner we can start!"

The next morning, Jin Chu went directly to the largest brokerage firm in the city to look for Zhang Ya Ren, with whom he had dealt before.

Jin Chu first asked him to help her find two small courtyards that were not too far away and relatively secluded.

Then he asked him to help find five or six women who were clean, quick and efficient, and no older than forty to do the work of boiling medicine and grinding powder.

Work six days and rest one day, and the monthly salary is promised to be no less than 800 coins. If you do well in the later stage, there will be additional silver and money rewards.

When Zhang Yaren heard Jinchu say that he had to work six days a week and have one day off, and the monthly salary was no less than 800 coins, his eyes lit up instantly.

The youngest child in his family is ten years old this year, and his wife is also doing odd jobs at home. According to Jinchu's request, can his wife also come and try it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yaren asked, "Miss Jin'er, my wife is thirty-two years old this year. She can clean the house and the stove neatly, and she's not weak either. Do you think it would be possible for her to try too?"

Jin Chu looked at Zhang Yaren in front of him. He was dressed neatly and behaved in a measured manner. If his wife was really a clean and capable person, he would feel more at ease using her since he knew her inside and out.

Then he smiled and said, "Since you've already asked, let's take some time this afternoon to have my sister-in-law come over and we can meet. If it's suitable, you can stay."

Seeing Jinchu speak out, Zhang Yaren smiled and said, "I'll ask my husband to come over this afternoon."

After this, Zhang Yaren became more concerned about Jinchu's house hunting. He took Jinchu to see several secluded houses in the morning and made an appointment to see two more in the afternoon.

Seeing that it was already noon, Jin Chu said goodbye to Zhang Ya Ren and left the shop. Just as he reached the door, he heard a burst of beating and scolding coming from not far away.

Zhang Ya, the man who escorted her out, sighed and said, "Qiu'er is such a miserable girl. She has a gambling and bastard father, and a frail and incompetent mother. This good girl is about to be tortured to death!"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard another loud shout: "Useless money-loser, I've worked hard to raise you for thirteen or fourteen years, and I've done my best! You have to go today, whether you agree or not!"

"You are addicted to gambling. You gambled away all our money. Now you want to sell me to that filthy place. I will never give in!"

The girl on the ground was wearing tattered clothes and was about to crash into the pillar next to her while talking. Someone with sharp eyes quickly grabbed her and saved her.

Everyone blamed the middle-aged man: "You are a father too. No matter how urgent it is, you can't send your daughter to such a filthy place. Sending her there will ruin her life!"

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, how could there be such a cruel father!"

"That's right, I've never seen a father who cheats his daughter like this in my entire life!"

The middle-aged man, with a face full of flesh, cursed unscrupulously: "I'm selling my daughter, what's it to you? I can't make a living myself, how can I care about the dead girl's well-being!"

He pointed at the person who had just spoken and asked viciously, "Don't you feel sorry for my daughter? If you can offer Chunfeng Tower's price, I'll hand her over to you right now!"

"You, you are unreasonable!" the man replied angrily.

The middle-aged man pointed his finger at the other man who was accusing him: "What about you? Don't you dislike me too? Then why don't you pay thirty taels of silver to buy this girl?"

The man turned his head away and cursed bitterly under his breath.

The middle-aged man suddenly became arrogant: "I'm not a good person, I admit it, and you guys are not good people either, why are you still scolding me! If you care about my daughter, just buy her away. If you can't buy her, then stop giving me a damn fart!"

After saying that, he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into the crowd, rolled his eyes in disdain, and cursed at the girl who collapsed on the ground: "Silly girl, you're born in my house, so you have to accept your fate! If you go there, at least you can still survive. If you don't go, I won't survive, and neither will you!"

"I won't go, and I won't go even if I die!"

Qiu'er, whose arm was roughly grabbed by her father, struggled with all her might, but she was small and weak, and in front of the strong man, she was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Although her courage was commendable, she could only sigh in vain.

The middle-aged man dragged his daughter along while cursing, "Now you've met a so-called kind-hearted person! Is there anyone who can save you?"

When she passed by Jinchu, the girl's eyes were dull and she looked dead silent.

Jin Chu closed and opened his eyes again, but in the end he couldn't suppress the compassion in his heart.

Cursing herself inwardly, she chased after him, stretched out her hand to stop the middle-aged man from dragging the girl, and faced the irritable middle-aged man directly: "I'll buy this girl!"
