Seeing Xiao Xuetang silent, Hong Fu came back to her senses from her joy and said, "I was just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart, young lady."

Since ancient times, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have the lowest status!

Xiao Xuetang was born into a noble family, and the rules of the Marquis' Mansion are strict. The reason why they bought this perfume and powder shop was for the sake of Mr. Xie Sanye's face. How could this noble daughter of a noble family lower herself to do business?

When Xiao Xuetang heard Hong Fu's words, she came back to her senses and said with a smile, "I came here today to discuss this matter with Sister Hong Fu."

Xiao Xuetang took out a stack of papers from her sleeve and said, "This is the facial cream I recently developed. Sister Hongfu, please take a look at it."

Hearing this, he was surprised and delighted. He took it and looked at it hurriedly, saying, "The recipe is a good one, but in addition to the usual pearl powder, why are there asarum, astragalus, white aconite, and angelica added? Some of these are spices and some are medicinal herbs. Can you put them on your face?"

"Don't worry!" Xiao Xuetang said confidently, "Since ancient times, fragrance and medicine have been added indiscriminately. In the imperial courts of the previous dynasties, concubines all used this kind of fragrance and medicine recipe to maintain their beauty and secure their favor. If it is made according to this recipe, it will definitely sell well!"

The reason why Xiao Xuetang was so sure was not because of blind self-confidence, but because Ye Jin had stolen her recipe in his previous life and had tested it!

Hong Fu knew that Xiao Xuetang was not the type to act without a purpose, so with her assurance, she treasured the secret recipe like a treasure. After a moment, she realized what was happening, "Miss, what you mean is..."

Xiao Xuetang smiled slightly and said, "I want to run this perfume shop well with Sister Hongfu and strive to become the best in Dayin!"

Hongfu wants to be the best in Kyoto, but Xiao Xuetang's goal is more ambitious, which is to be the best in Dayin.

Since Ye Jin was able to use such deceptive means to make the Ye family famous in the previous life, why couldn't she, Xiao Xuetang, rely on her own real talents and become the number one in Dayin?

If it were someone else, they would definitely think that Xiao Xuetang was exaggerating. However, although Hongfu was a woman, she had traveled around with her uncle since she was a child and had a lot of experience. Xiao Xuetang's words aroused her ambition.

He rubbed his fists and feet, saying: "Don't worry, young lady, I will run the business well. I will still divide the money from the shop with you 40% and 60% according to the previous distribution."

Xiao Xuetang said, "The profit of the perfume shop is 40% to 60%, but... 40% is mine, and 60% is you and Uncle Lin."

Hong Fu was so surprised that she almost dropped her abacus and said, "How can this be possible!"

Although Hongfu loves money, she is very clear about right and wrong. She said, "Thanks to the young lady for taking me in, my husband and I now have a place to stay and are not living on the streets. It is our responsibility to help the young lady manage the perfume and powder shop. The young lady gives me a monthly salary and a share of the profits every month. How dare I take advantage of the young lady again!"

Xiao Xuetang knew Hongfu's character and knew that she would refuse, so she had already thought of a way to persuade Hongfu, "Sister Hongfu, I haven't finished talking yet, don't rush to refuse."

"The reason why I want to redistribute the profits is that, firstly, due to my inconvenient status, the affairs of the shop need to be managed by you and Uncle Lin; secondly, I have a few ideas to change the business model of the shop. In the later stage, you will definitely need to work harder. If you are unwilling to accept it, then I can't continue to promote it."

Seeing Xiao Xuetang's serious words, Hong Fu had no choice but to say, "Since the young lady has said so, how can I refuse? But what does the young lady need me to do?"

Xiao Xuetang had already prepared it in her arms.

The first one is a new contract signed with Hongfu, and the second one is a code of conduct.

This is some methods of store operation that she extracted by imitating Ye Jin's business methods in her previous life, removing the dross and retaining the essence.

For example, increasing store publicity, targeted VIP services, and making some small samples to give to VIPs before new products are officially launched, and so on.

Hongfu was also a business genius. Xiao Xuetang only had to mention his vague idea and Hongfu agreed with it immediately.

The two talked for a while, and half a day passed unknowingly. When Lin Shu poured them a second pot of tea to remind them that it was time for lunch, they realized that it was already noon.

Lin Shu was dressed in a blue shirt and looked a little cold.

Seeing the two talking excitedly, Lin Shu did not interrupt them. But now he could not help reminding Xiao Xuetang, "Miss Xiao, do the people in the Marquis' Mansion know about this? The Marquis of Yong'an has just returned to Kyoto. I'm afraid they...will not agree."

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

……

Xiao Xuetang has already taken action to plan the revitalization of Yan Xinji, while Ye Jin is still dreaming of opening a perfume shop and making friends with the powerful.

The reason why Ye Jin was so persistent in wanting to open a shop selling powder and spices was actually because she had her own considerations.

Nowadays, all the nobles in Kyoto like to burn incense. Ye Jin wants to quickly get close to those people from aristocratic families and integrate among the noble ladies. What could be more suitable than opening a perfume and powder shop that is famous in Kyoto?

Moreover, she came from another world and had learned product marketing techniques that were beyond the reach of the nobles in Kyoto.

She felt that this was a very good opportunity. Even though Ye Jin had no knowledge of spices, she had her own methods!

Qiao Niang is Ye Jin's lackey. She has seen Ye Jin's insidious methods in the business world over the past few years, so she is not worried at all. However, she has one thing in mind...

"It's not difficult to hire more people to make perfumed powder and facial cream, but the difficult part is the formula for making perfumed powder and facial cream. If we spend money to make it, the cost is a bit high. Secondly, the noble ladies in Kyoto like fashionable things, and we can't just sell those few things in our store."

Hearing this, Ye Jin raised a secret smile and said, "How difficult is this? Don't we have Xiao Xuetang?"

Qiao Niang didn't follow Ye Jin's train of thought for a moment, and asked with a puzzled look: "What does this have to do with the eldest lady?"

"Xie said that Xiao Xuetang has been well-read since childhood and is good at making perfumes. He was once a master in Kyoto and has collected many spice recipes. If we can take the recipes in Xiao Xuetang's hands for ourselves, then we will have customers and recipes... right?"

Qiao Niang couldn't help but clap her thighs and cheer, but then she had some concerns...

"From what I have seen these past few days, I know that Miss is not a pushover. I'm afraid she won't give us the secret recipe easily."

"Humph, I have my own ways to make her obey."

Ye Jin said confidently: "Xiao Xuetang is a waste, it's a waste for him to have so many treasures, it's better to give them all to me so that I can make the best use of them."

Isn’t Marquis Yong’an short of money now?

It would definitely be right to use this as an excuse to let Yong'an Hou force Xiao Xuetang to hand over the secret recipe of the spice!

"Then let's do it quickly. I'm worried that something might go wrong if we delay."

Qiao Niang urged Ye Jin. Ye Jin was always generous. As her confidant, Qiao Niang could naturally get a lot of benefits. This was one of the reasons why she could follow Ye Jin wholeheartedly.

Unexpectedly, Ye Jin said calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Xiao Xuetang is just a lady from a wealthy family who never leaves her house. How can the recipe escape from her? I have other important things to do right now."

The important thing Ye Jin mentioned was to meet Lin Shaoshu...
