For more than two months, a few people helped her in the first month, and she was not too affected. The next month or so, it was all done by Xu Xu.
After the Yuyan Hall was renovated, she stayed in the workshop every day, learning how to make various goat milk soaps, how to extract flower dew, and how to soak flower oil.
She led a group of workers to prepare goods, while also taking care of the opening of Yuyantang.
Sister Xu Xu arranged everything in an orderly manner. The Yuyantang shop had not yet opened, so she had it cleaned spotlessly. Su Wan asked her to make a gift box for Liuliu Dashun. The box she customized was exquisite yet classy, and she tried to save as much as possible. He spent a sum of money and spent it on other things more carefully than Su Wan had planned. The money was spent wisely.
Moreover, she remembered every expenditure clearly and neatly, and brought it to Su Wan the next day.
Su Wan didn't care about the promotion and just waited for the opening to see the results. She had already passed the test in Su Wan's heart. She believed that she could manage the Zhongzhou market well.
Su Wan offered her a salary of one hundred taels a month. The night before the opening, Sister Xu Xu came to Bikong Building again.
She sent something to Su Wan to express her loyalty. It was something similar to a deed of sale. She went to the Yamen to make a slave certificate and sold herself to Su Wan for five years. After it was stamped by the government, it was considered effective. .
Su Wan was a little surprised, because in her impression, the people of Jin State looked down upon slaves. Those who were slaves also felt ashamed of being slaves. They spent their whole lives fighting to get rid of their citizenship. What's more, Those who have been working hard for this for generations.
"Sister Xu Xu, why are you doing this?" Su Wan didn't know what to say to her.
Unexpectedly, Sister Xu Xu knelt down immediately, startling Su Wan again, and quickly stood up to help:
"Get up, I can't stand you like this. I have decided to use you and I will trust you."
"My boss, it is an honor for me that you are willing to give me a chance. I have been wandering around for half my life, faced despair several times, and then hit the wall everywhere. I finally got an opportunity. I must cherish it. You have given me such a chance." Leave a big estate to me, and I want to reassure you that you are far away in Xiangzhou and can't come here all the time, so I can only express my loyalty to you in this way."
Sister Xu Xu's purpose is very simple, which is to reassure Su Wan that she will not do anything betrayal and that she is now hers.
Now that the matter has come to this, Su Wan can only follow her. Even if she is completely at ease, she is not at ease, but now she has really taken a dose of reassurance.
Once the government intervenes, the contract of sale becomes effective. No matter where you go, you can't get rid of your slave status. If the contract is broken within five years before it expires, as long as Su Wan reports to the government, she will become a fugitive. A slave who is caught is punishable by death.
If you want to escape outside the country, there is no way, because there is a war on the border, and the population of Jin State will be treated as spies, and the death will be even worse.
Therefore, Xu Xu's way of showing loyalty has cut off his own escape route. It can be said that it is unprecedented and unprecedented.
"Sister Xu Xu, I have seen your sincerity. I am also a person who is easy to get along with. As long as you work for me down-to-earth, you will get a monthly salary increase in the future, and you can even get a bonus at the end of the year. If you perform well, I can also give you gifts. House, these are not problems, there is nothing else to do with me, we are both women, we understand each other, and I will only give opportunities to women like you who have stories and abilities."
Su Wan only gave women a chance, but it was different with his uncle. After all, he was his uncle, so he should give her a hand, but the shopkeeper of Xiangzhou Yuyantang decided to be Yang Qingqing.
"I know you are a good person, boss, so I am willing to work for you. Please rest assured that I will do my best in my life to take good care of Zhongzhou Yuyan Hall."
Xu Xu kowtowed to her. This was the first time in Su Wan's life that someone older than herself kowtowed.
Xu Xu is old enough to be her mother.
The next day, Yuyantang opened. Su Wan watched from the teahouse opposite without going to greet them personally. Several girls arranged by Xu Xu to work in the store were all bought by the tooth shop. She did a good job in promotion, and the first day of the opening was In one day, Yuyan Hall was full, and the door was crowded with people. One thousand, five hundred sets of Liuliu gift boxes were sold out in half a day.
Thousands of dollars of inventory were also wiped out in one day, but fortunately there was still enough inventory in the workshop.
The new plum blossom-scented goat milk soap sells very well. People in Zhongzhou who have money basically buy the dyed version. No one wants the basic version. Keep selling it for a few days and see if there is no sales. If there is no sales, reduce the production and increase the quantity. The output of dyed models.
Business has been very good for three consecutive days, so Su Wan feels relieved and can prepare to return to Xiangzhou and come back to inspect the store in the second half of the year.
When the time comes, she will have to see how many branches Sister Xu Xu has opened for her.
…
Su Wan returned to Xiangzhou at the end of March. When she returned home, Su's father, mother, and fourth and fifth brothers were eagerly awaiting her return, craning their necks to wait for her return.
She had been away from home for most of the year, and she missed her family. She didn't know what the business situation was like in Xiangzhou.
Anyway, Yanzhou and Suzhou are pretty good.
After getting off the carriage, Su Wan immediately hugged his mother.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Su's mother was almost knocked down by her big bear hug, but fortunately Su's father was holding her on the side.
Su Yun and Su Yi looked at her. At first, Su Yun was quite happy. Not only did she not lose weight, she seemed to have gained weight, which meant that she didn't suffer outside.
But then I thought about it, they were thinking about her at home and she was not good at eating and drinking, and they had lost weight. However, she was eating well and drinking well, and was very comfortable. How could she be homesick?
So Su Yun kept a straight face and tried to show his presence:
"Hmph, heartless."
It was hard for Su Wan not to notice him, so she walked towards the fourth and fifth brothers with a smile and shouted sweetly:
"Fourth brother~fifth brother~I'm back!"
Su Yun agreed to ignore him for two months, turned around and walked away proudly with his hands behind his back. Fifth brother Su Yi did not do this, but said sourly:
"It's hard for you to remember us and think you were caught by some treasure outside."
Fifth Brother is the head of the Yin Yang Wei style, and his connotation of Kung Fu is unparalleled.
"No, no, isn't there something wrong with me? Actually, I miss you too. You see, the food I eat outside doesn't taste good. How can the food outside taste like home? I'm so hungry."
Su Wan deliberately sucked her cheeks and made two pits sink into her face, showing that she had really lost weight.
Su Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw her funny look. Then he felt that he was worthless, so he covered his lips and cleared his throat, pretending to be arrogant.
Seeing this, Su's father and Su's mother shook their heads helplessly. These brothers and sisters had a very good relationship, which was what they were most happy to see.
