Shen Rou entered the space and repackaged the ginseng. She then took out two kilograms of Pu'er tea, two sets of tea sets, and jade chess pieces bought from the capital. She left the space and went to the next door with the things in her hands.
At this time, Master Yang was giving a lesson to Shen Nan, and Doctor Ye was teaching Shen Xue to identify herbs in the yard. When Shen Xue saw Shen Rou coming, she smiled and introduced her: "Sister, this is my master, Doctor Ye."
Shen Rou looked at Ye Gucheng, who was in his forties or fifties, wearing a jade crown on his head, a dark gray robe, and a dark gray belt around his waist.
"Doctor Ye, hello. I am Shen Xue's elder sister, Shen Rou. Thank you for accepting my younger sister as your disciple. Please accept this small gift."
Shen Rou handed Doctor Ye some ginseng, a pound of tea leaves, a set of tea sets and chess pieces.
Ye Gucheng smiled and said, "You are too polite, Lady Furong. Your sister is extremely intelligent. I am very happy to accept her as my disciple."
"Thank you, Doctor Ye, for your compliments."
"I'm not praising her, I'm telling the truth. This girl is incredibly gifted and has a photographic memory. In just over two months, she's already recognized half of the thousands of herbs and is still memorizing prescriptions every day."
"I'll have to trouble Doctor Ye to teach her more in the future."
"County Lady Furong, please rest assured. Since I have accepted her as my disciple, I will naturally teach her wholeheartedly."
"Doctor Ye, please call me Xiaorou! After all, you are Xiaoxue's master, and calling me Princess Furong is too unfamiliar."
"Call me Miss Shen!"
"Alright."
Master Yang told him that Prince Mu liked Shen Rou, and if they were to have a relationship, she would be Prince Mu's wife or concubine, so how could he call her by her maiden name.
Shen Rou handed the remaining gifts to Shen Xue and said, "This is the tea and tea set for Master Yang. Xiaoxue, give it to Master Yang later. I'll go to the porcelain shop to take a look."
"Sister, I understand."
"Doctor Ye, I won't bother you if you're busy."
"Miss Shen, take care."
Shen Rou came to the Yunrou Porcelain Shop. Shopkeeper Sun saw Shen Rou coming back and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Princess Furong for receiving the title personally conferred by the Emperor. This is a cause for celebration."
Shen Rou smiled and responded, "Shopkeeper Sun, you're welcome. It will sound better to call me Miss Shen in the future."
"Yes."
She looked around and saw the dazzling array of porcelain in the store, and a feeling of pride welled up in her heart.
Shopkeeper Sun took out more than three months' worth of account books and banknotes, as well as some small change from the counter and handed them to Shen Rou.
"Miss Shen, here are the accounts and profits for the past three months. Please review them."
Shen Rou took the account book to the second floor and carefully checked the accounts, a satisfied smile on her face. The profits of the past three months were much higher than those of the previous months. It seemed that the porcelain business was getting more and more prosperous.
I also have to take time to draw some new patterns and shapes to attract customers.
Shen Rou was so engrossed in checking the accounts that she completely forgot the time. It was not until Shen Jun came up to call her that she suddenly realized that it was already dark outside.
When I came downstairs, I saw Manager Sun and Xiaoyu sorting out the porcelain. "Manager Sun, I haven't finished looking over the accounts yet. Come back tomorrow."
"Miss Shen, take care."
Shen Rou was walking in front and didn't see Shen Jun and Xiaoyu looking at each other. Xiaoyu showed a shy expression, and Shen Jun reluctantly followed Shen Rou's footsteps.
"Cousin, how's your instant noodle order?"
"Cousin, the orders have never stopped and are still increasing. I have never been able to finish them in time. The merchants often send people to rush me. But there is nothing we can do. After all, the place is too small. Even if we recruit workers, there is no place to work."
Shen Rou paused for a moment and said solemnly, "I'll go back and ask Xu Yang to go to the government office tomorrow to ask if there's any wasteland for sale around Yunzhou."
"Are you planning to buy land?"
"Business is good, so we'll buy land, build factories, and recruit more workers. That way, you'll have an easier time."
Shen Jun immediately showed an expression of disbelief. His cousin was so brave. At such a young age, her ability to make money was more courageous and resolute than many adults.
Back at "Shen's Breakfast Shop", my aunt and Fang Yun were busy in the kitchen while the others were sitting at the tables. The two tables were already filled with many dishes.
Shen Dashan said with a smile: "Xiao Rou, we are waiting for you, the protagonist."
"Uncle, let's just get together and have some fun."
"Uncle, I never thought that our Shen family would have a county lady. Xiaorou, you are amazing."
"Uncle, if you're happy, have a couple more drinks later."
"I must have a good drink today."
Master Yang, Ye Gucheng, Ye Qing, Xu Yang and the others sat at one table chatting. At the other table were Shen Xue and her brother, along with their grandmother and the others.
Shen Rou returned to the room and took out two bottles of red wine from the space and placed them on the man's table. Several people looked at the red wine in surprise.
"What is this, Princess Furong?"
"Red wine. I met a Western Region merchant in the capital this time and bought three bottles of red wine from him. You can try them today. I have one bottle left to bring back to Grandpa for the New Year."
"Xiaorou is such a filial granddaughter. She thinks of grandpa in everything. Your grandpa is so happy when he knows this."
Master Yang was astonished and said, "Is this the red wine that the people of the Western Regions drink? I heard in the capital that the red wine that the people of the Western Regions pay tribute to the emperor is only given to the emperor and his concubines. I didn't expect that we can even drink tribute wine thanks to the Princess of Furong. We are so lucky."
"This is all thanks to Princess Furong, otherwise how could we have the tribute wine?"
"Uncle, please drink more with Doctor Ye and Master Yang later. I have no objection if you finish them all."
"It would be a waste to drink such a good wine all at once. At least savor it slowly."
Shen Rou slowly opened the cap of the red wine with a corkscrew. Several people stared at Shen Rou's movements intently. "This cap is so difficult to open. I can't even open it if you ask me to."
"I'll teach you, just watch carefully."
Shen Rou taught them how to open the red wine step by step, and several people stared at her technique intently.
At this time, my aunt and Fang Yun came over with two plates of food, "Shen Rou is back."
"Aunt, the food is ready, come and eat."
"Okay, okay, today Mommy bought a lot of your favorite dishes. You've lost weight after being out for a few months. Eat more later."
"I've been craving grandma's cooking for a long time. I must eat more."
My aunt and Fang Yun came over and sat down. Seeing the red wine in the glass, they asked in surprise, "What the hell is this? It looks like blood."
Grandma quickly said, "You're ignorant. This is the tribute wine the emperor drinks, how can it be blood? Xiaorou bought three bottles from a merchant in the Western Regions. Try them."
"Oh my! Mom! The wine the emperor drinks is so expensive! Every time I take a sip, it feels like I'm drinking money."
"Aunt, try it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Aunt, take a sip and taste it slowly. "Hmm, sweet and a little fragrant, delicious."
She drank it all in one gulp. After a glass of red wine was finished, her grandmother said disapprovingly, "Such a good wine, but it's like drinking water to you."
"Mother, try it. The wine the emperor drinks is delicious. I couldn't help but drink it in one gulp."
At the men's table, Master Yang and Doctor Ye slowly savored the wine. "It has a delicate texture and a rich fruity aroma. Every drop exudes a captivating fragrance that's intoxicating."
Shen Dashan didn't savor the drink slowly like them. He drank it in one gulp and couldn't help but pour two more glasses. He always felt it wasn't enough. If it weren't for Master Yang and Doctor Ye, one bottle wouldn't be enough for him.
Grandma picked up some food for Shen Rou, "Xiao Rou, this is your favorite braised fish, eat more."
"Grandma, you eat too."
The whole family had a happy meal together.
The men tasted the wine slowly and felt unsatisfied after finishing a bottle, but it would be a waste to drink such good wine all at once.
When Shen Rou wanted to open the second bottle, they quickly stopped her, saying that she could drink it later when she was craving it.
After dinner, Shen Rou said to Xu Yang: "Xu Yang, go to the government office tomorrow to see if there is any wasteland outside Yunzhou. I want to buy land to build an instant noodle factory."
"Yes."
