In the end, Qiuli ointment was sold to Mrs. Pei for fifty bottles for twenty taels of silver.
Shen Zhiyao had given away a total of thirty-five bottles before, and with these fifty bottles, she still had thirty-five bottles in hand.
And these fifty bottles of Qiuli ointment were worth one hundred taels of silver.
She used to get 600 taels from selling braised vegetable recipes, but after spending money on buying a village, building a house, buying a restaurant, and other miscellaneous things, she still had about 120 taels left.
Including the 500 taels that the emperor rewarded her with, the money from selling windmills and five cakes, the profit from setting up stalls and restaurants this month, etc., she currently has about 850 taels in her hands.
After some calculation, Shen Zhiyao thought it was pretty good.
Then look forward to the dividends from Yuelailou.
Shen Zhiyao chose a good day, and on the day of moving, Yue Xiuyu brought her good news.
Yue Xiuyu gave the housewarming gift he brought to Shen Zhiyao, and then when Shen Zhiyao was free, he came over and said, "Miss Shen, congratulations, the cake orders have been overwhelming."
"My lord-in-law, we are so happy!"
Shen Zhiyao also congratulated him first, and then asked curiously: "Master Yue, I wonder how you made the cakes so popular?"
Even a knowledgeable person who has so many shops at home can't restrain his joy. It seems to be a great sale.
Yue Xiuyu kept a smile on her face and said: "After the cooks of our Yue family learned how to make cakes, I did not immediately introduce cakes to the pastry shops in Fucheng."
"A few days ago, our Yue family was fortunate enough to be invited to the prefect's birthday. At the prefect's birthday banquet, we presented him with a three-layer cake in front of all the dignitaries in the city."
This unique cake, coupled with the fact that the Yue family is very knowledgable, made the prefect praise it several times.
Later, the families attending the banquet, those who had tasted the cake and wanted to eat it again, or who really wanted to buy the same cake as the prefect, approached the Yue family.
After some polishing by the in-law family, birthdays without a cake are meaningless. Scholars who do well in the monthly exams must eat cakes to celebrate, and filial parents must buy a cake. The cake is spread out about how delicious it is, etc.
The cake became an instant hit.
In Fucheng, the Yue family’s pastry shop has long queues every day.
But if Yue Xiuyu didn't come, he would sell one and set up purchase restrictions.
Only one hundred and fifty are sold a day.
And the price of the cakes was increased to ten taels a piece due to his various operations.
Directly doubled.
There is no shortage of rich people in Fucheng. For ten taels of silver each, there are still many people buying them.
And because the price was high and the cake was unique enough, for a while, the cake became the first choice for wealthy businessmen in Fucheng to raise their eyebrows when entertaining guests from out of town.
Did you see it? It’s only available in Yunluo Prefecture and not anywhere else. You’ve learned a lot!
After listening to Yue Xiuyu's words, Shen Zhiyao gave a thumbs up in admiration.
At that time, she only taught the cook brought by Yue Xiuyu to make a single-layer cake.
Unexpectedly, people copied other cases from one example and made a multi-layered one.
There is no shortage of smart people in any era.
Yue Xiuyu chatted with Shen Zhiyao for a while, then said goodbye and left.
To celebrate her moving into a new home, Shen Zhiyao's Shenshiguang had a day off.
In addition to Yue Xiuyu, Pei Lingxuan, Lin Suxin, Ye Buji, Shopkeeper Yue, Du Shi and Zhao Rufang, Mrs. Wu, Mao Dazhuang's family, He Wang and Luo Quan's family all came to congratulate her.
Of course, Aunt Chen also came with Chen Hu and Shen Shuisheng, who was about to deliver crayfish and snails to her. Also coming with Aunt Chen and the others was Patriarch Shen.
Although Shen Zhiyao was a little surprised by the arrival of Patriarch Shen, she still entertained him warmly and happily.
"Zhiyao, the two dogs you bought look quite similar. They look quite fierce."
Pei Lingxuan walked to the fence where Shen Zhiyao kept the two dogs.
These two dogs were bought by Shen Zhiyao to look after the home.
Woof! Woof!
As soon as Pei Lingxuan finished speaking, the two dogs started barking at her fiercely, with enough momentum to bite her neck off.
Pei Lingxuan was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She felt that if the two dogs were not tied up, they would bite someone.
Shen Zhiyao came over, stretched out her hand and patted the two dogs in the air.
"Big dog, second dog, don't scare the guests, otherwise you won't have any meat to eat tonight."
The two dogs instantly settled down.
Pei Lingxuan was amazed.
"They really listen to you. You are really good at training dogs."
Shen Zhiyao: The main reason is that she gave these two dogs a drink of spiritual spring water. If they still want to drink, they must listen to her.
After giving gifts to Shen Zhiyao, some said goodbye and left, while others stayed to visit her new house.
Those who stayed were Pei Lingxuan, Aunt Chen, and Patriarch Shen.
After Pei Lingxuan saw the modern wardrobe that Shen Zhiyao had hired someone to build, her eyes lit up and she shouted that she would buy one when she went back.
Then, he sat on the cushioned "sofa" and said that he wanted to make the same style.
Aunt Chen, Chen Cuihua, Chen Hu and the others were also experiencing the various comfortable lounge chairs in the house.
Aunt Chen didn't have the slightest idea about Shen Zhiyao asking other carpenters to make these furniture. Firstly, Zhiyao could find whoever he wanted to make the furniture. Secondly, her family was busy making a windmill.
Moreover, this child Zhiyao did things very appropriately. He even told them in advance that he was going to find someone to break the furniture in order to prevent them from overthinking it.
Everyone else went to play their own games. Patriarch Shen walked up to Shen Zhiyao, obviously having something to say to her.
"Zhiyao, the yuba has been sold in the town and several villages near Lihua Village. It is very popular. The yuba made by the villagers can be sold out every day."
"If we want to raise crayfish, there are only three other families besides my family, the Li Zheng family and the Chen family that want to raise crayfish."
Chief Shen first told Shen Zhiyao about the situation in Lihua Village these days.
Shen Zhiyao nodded and said nothing about the fact that there were relatively few households raising crayfish. He only said:
"The villagers are hardworking and can endure hardships. Under the leadership of Uncle Li Zheng and the patriarch, the villagers work together. Those who sell bean curd sell bean curd and those who raise crayfish raise crayfish. I believe that it won't be long before our Lihua Village can We will ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing and every household will have surplus food and money.”
These words made Patriarch Shen feel comfortable. He was taken by Shen Zhiyao to see the three fields in her village that were already raising crayfish.
During this period, he also asked many questions about raising crayfish, and almost forgot the purpose of asking Shen Zhiyao.
Fortunately, he is a responsible patriarch who has his tribe at heart.
After watching the crayfish, Patriarch Shen said: "Zhiyao, would you consider finding a servant for Bai Qiu?"
I have to say that Shen Zhiyao really thought about it.
Now that she lives outside the city, Bai Qiu's private school is in the city. She is still a little worried about letting his half-year-old child go back and forth alone every day.
Now Yue Ya often goes to Qinglian Lane to study medicine with Mr. Ye.
She also needs manpower at her village...
Overall, it's time for her to hire someone.
Or, buy?
In this era, it is more reliable to have a contract of sale in hand most of the time.
Thinking so, Shen Zhiyao nodded.
Patriarch Shen said bluntly: "What do you think of Shui Sheng?"
