“I gave her the recipe for the rose cream.”
“You took a very long time to perfect that recipe, and you gave it away just like that?” Su Qing was very unhappy. Yao Er had to carefully choose the petals, dry them, wash them, and then add specific amounts of herbs to them. She was up for days and nights before she finally concluded the perfect amount of each ingredient. Her fingers even became red and swollen from the water. The fact that she just simply gave it away was a pity.
(T/Nonsense: Now we are aware of how much hard work Mu Yunyao does behind the scenes.)
“Mother, it does not matter.” In her previous life, she was a disabled person due to her bad leg. In order to attract Jin Wang, she had to perfect her face and skin. She worked hard and was able to invent many useful things. One recipe for a rose cream was nothing.
Su Qing sighed, “Mother is just worried for you.”
Mu Yunyao leaned against Su Qing and felt her heart fill up. “The life we have today is something that I have never dared to dream of. If only for our safety, ten cream recipes is still worth it.”
Su Qing gently patted Mu Yunyao’s back and said, “Yes, that is true.”
Lady Jin went according to the recipe and created a whole batch and sent it all to her close relatives and friends. When they all discovered the effects of this cream, as long as it was a social gathering, they would definitely bring it with them. The girls in Jingling City who were still unaware of this cream thought that it was a new trend and started to put on scented pouches too. When one goes onto the street, they would be attacked with delicate fragrances all around. This caused Jiangnan’s distinguished poets to shake their fans and create poems:
“The scent of success in Jiangnan is irresistable, yet the wine vessels and flattering makeup is unrivalled. Even then, one will still suspect that their eyes are tipsy, for how could a mere mortal behold Spring’s beauty?”
(T/Nonsense: Okay, this took me an eternity and I still don’t even know if this is even the original meaning. I just don’t understand this. Like I understood what each word meant, but when put together…they don’t look like they’re supposed to be put together. Sorry if you wince/facepalm while reading my interpretation heh heh.)
Afterwards, the rose cream won the place of being the best cream. By the time Lady Jin started to sell to the public, many, many girls were fighting to get one.
In just a little more than ten days, their revenue was sky-high. When Cao Yunnian found out about this, he specifically told Lady Jin to take extra care of Mu Yunyao’s needs. Lady Jin naturally agreed heartily.
When Mu Yunyao finished the last clothing on her reservation list, she stretched and yawned as she asked, “Mother, how much silver do we have now?”
“Around twenty thousand silvers now.” When they had bought this house that was worth three thousand and six hundred silvers, Su Qing thought that it was way too expensive. Who knew, in just two months, they had easily earned that silver back.
Mu Yunyao smiled and she nodded, “Looks like it is time.”
“Hm? Time for what?” Su Qing was confused.
“Naturally, the time to earn the big silvers!” Mu Yunyao was about to explain to her when a student came running towards them. “Miss, there is a person at the door who called himself Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper. He wants to speak to you.”
Mu Yunyao smiled. Who would have known that Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper was impatient to this extent? “That is a treasured guest, quick, invite him into the front yard’s main hall and serve him tea.”
When Mu Yunyao had finished changing her clothes and entered the main hall, Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper was drinking tea in a relaxed manner. Seeing her, he gently put down the cup and put on a confident smile, “I wonder if Miss still recognises me?”
“Shopkeeper is joking with me, there is no one in Jingling City who does not recognise you.” Mu Yunyao was unfazed by his mannerisms and sat on a chair opposite to his, patiently waiting for him to start the conversation.
Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper’s eyes were filled with confidence, “Initially, I had wanted to wait a few more days before visiting Miss. However, many things have happened this past few days. Spring Embroidery has met with huge trouble and is unable to open for business anymore. Colour Moon Shop and Spring Embroidery have been friends for many years, naturally I would want to help them some.”
Who would have known that Spring Embroidery, which had always been the better chain compared to Colour Moon Shop, took only a few days to become non-existent. Even Spring Embroidery’s master, the Han family, were sent into exile. Today, no one knew where they had went.
“Shopkeeper is a very good-hearted person.” Mu Yunyao still did not try to follow up the conversation.
