Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 487 Straightforward

"Thank me for what?" Luo Yanxing was puzzled.

"Of course I'm here to thank you for your favor. If it weren't for you and Doctor Song, I wouldn't have been able to come over to say hello and then take the opportunity to talk to the prefect's son and the young master of the Shen family." Chen Yunze said very bluntly.

"What kind of favor is this? Judging from their attitude, they simply don't bother to deal with merchants like us." In Luo Yanxing's understanding, the so-called favor is that the other party uses their friendship to seek benefits for another person. She did nothing and had no friendship to speak of with the two young masters.

Chen Yunze said, "The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Go to them more often and provide them with more conveniences. Gradually, you will have a good relationship with them. There is no need to worry about not having benefits in the future."

Luo Yanxing was stunned.

"Do you think I'm particularly good at climbing up the ladder?"

Luo Yan was a straightforward person, so he nodded honestly without any unnecessary beating around the bush.

Chen Yunze laughed, opened his folding fan and waved it: "As businessmen, we need to be thick-skinned enough to do good and big business."

After saying this, seeing that Luo Yanxing seemed to be thinking about something and seemed to be touched, he added: "You have a friend who is a genius doctor, Doctor Xiao Song. You can have any kind of connections you want. Doing business is the most suitable."

"You mean, I turn Yingnuoxuan into a rouge shop?"

"Not only that, if Doctor Xiao Song is like her master and only treats the women in the back house, then your business with the women in the back house will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort. But she also goes back to Chuntang to see patients of all kinds, and her connections are not limited to the back house, so her other business will also be twice as effective with half the effort."

After a pause, he continued, "But the business of the women in the back house is easy to do and makes a lot of money. You Yingnuoxuan is also doing this now. You have experience. It would be good to continue doing the women's business in the early stage."

Luo Yanxing thought about it and realized that just selling pancreas was too monotonous. They had thought about expanding the business before and launched two facial creams, Yubai Cream and Zhenrun Cream. The main function of Yubai Cream is whitening, while the main function of Zhenrun Cream is to moisturize the skin.

However, the main customers of Yingnuoxuan were the maids in various mansions, so the price was not very expensive at the beginning, only two or three hundred coins per box.

With the maids' monthly allowance, they could afford it by gritting their teeth, but unexpectedly, the effects of these two facial creams were very good. Not only did the maids in various mansions rush to buy them, but some ladies and young ladies also wanted them.

But she is the only one working there, and she is too busy to make the pancreas at the same time, so the amount of facial cream she can make each month is limited.

Moreover, with such a low price, if more people were produced, many rouge shops in the city would have to close, and a lot of people would be offended.

After considering many factors, they maintained the monthly sales of 50 boxes of each type of facial cream, which actually made a lot of money.

If it is expanded into a rouge shop, with the reputation of Innoxuan and the efficacy of these two facial creams, the business will be good.

In the past, we had to worry that business would be too good and would have a huge impact on our peers, causing public outrage. But now, with Dr. Song Ying’s reputation and his connections, we don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Luo Yanxing was moved.

She looked at Chen Yunze and suddenly asked, "You were so generous with the cooperation with Panzi earlier. Was it because you wanted to use this opportunity to do Song Ying a favor and seek future cooperation?"

Chen Yunze was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so perceptive. With just a little guidance, she could draw inferences about other situations.

He admitted very readily: "Yes, Doctor Song is a very skilled doctor, and the two facial creams he tried out are so effective. If we can't become allies, I'm afraid my Chen family will have nothing to do with Qingshui County's rouge and powder business in the future."

Being used by others is not a pleasant thing, but he was so frank that Luo Yanxing couldn't hate him. She said, "I will consider the business matter."

After arriving at the lake, they first took a small boat to the vicinity of the gallery. Chen Yunze asked people to build a wooden board for everyone to get on the painting boat.

As soon as you step onto the deck, the first thing that catches your eye is the layers of gauze curtains surrounding the cabin. They flutter in the night wind, and the human figures reflected on the gauze curtains also sway with the wind, creating a unique atmosphere.

When the curtain was opened, a strong smell of alcohol wafted into Song Ying's nose, causing him to frown and take a step back.

Chen Yunze smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you all. The literary gathering has already begun."

They came here more for fun, and Yuan Qing and the other two didn't mind. After they entered, a smart servant handed them banana leaves.

Shen Jing was so upset: "Is it popular to use banana leaves in composing poems now?"

Chen Yunze nodded with a smile: "I am a rough man, I don't understand the elegance of you scholars, I have no idea how to organize a literary gathering, fortunately there is the elegant thing of Mr. Shen writing poems on banana leaves, I can imitate it and not make a fool of myself."

Shen Jing curled his lips when he heard this, thinking that Chen Yunze was too flattering, and his impression of him became even worse.

Shen Yonghui, the person being complimented, had an indifferent expression and did not look at Chen Yunze differently because of this.

As the son of the Shangshu Mansion, he had been complimented since he was a child and was accustomed to it. These compliments from Chen Yunze could not touch his heart.

Chen Yunze was still smiling, and didn't show any sign of being frustrated, which made Luo Yanxing admire him greatly. He complimented him at every opportunity and his words were so beautiful. He knew that he still had a lot to learn if he wanted to become a big businessman.

After Yuan Qing and the other two took the banana leaves, the servants were about to leave. At this time, Shen Wanting suddenly said, "Give me a portion of banana leaves, too."

The servant was a little surprised and embarrassed. Today's literary gathering was attended by scholars who wanted to make a name for themselves. This young lady, a girl, was participating in a men's literary gathering...

He was just feeling embarrassed when he heard Chen Yunze say, "It's rare that the girls are interested in this. It looks like the literary gathering tonight will be even more exciting. Lai Fu, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and serve the girls some banana leaves."

The master had spoken, so the servants no longer had to be embarrassed. They respectfully handed out banana leaves to the people. Next to the three sisters of the Shen family was Mei Yue. Facing the banana leaves handed over, she looked embarrassed and whispered, "I don't know how."

Seeing this, Song Ying also hurriedly said: "We don't need it. We can only recognize a few words and can't write poems."

With the support of her friends, Meiyue finally felt less embarrassed.

"Doctor Song is too modest. Everyone knows that you are full of medical skills to save lives. It's not just about knowing a few words." Chen Yunze smiled and complimented again, then shook his head at the servant.

The servant then withdrew.

What happened just now made Chen Yunze realize that this was the first time Song Ying and the others attended this kind of literary gathering, and there were many things they didn't understand, so he explained in detail: "Literary gatherings are different from other banquets. There are no fixed seats. You can go wherever you want and eat whatever you want."

Song Ying nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. You go ahead and do your work. We will take our time to look around."

Hearing this, Chen Yunze went to entertain other people, shuttling between the students. Of course, the most important thing was to entertain Shen Jing and Shen Yonghui, and he was very adept at dancing with the sleeves.
