Chapter 187 Snowball's Trouble

Ye Jintang always acts decisively and never drags his feet.

Although it seems that there are many difficulties in opening a new cosmetics workshop, the actual solutions are not as difficult as imagined.

The energetic Ye Jintang also influenced Gu Waner. At the beginning, she was afraid of both wolves and tigers and was afraid that she would not be able to do well.

After hearing what Ye Jintang said, she was like a chicken with its blood injected. She immediately asked Madam Zhang for a few maids with strong personalities, and went to the accounting office to ask for an accountant who could keep accounts. They all took a carriage and headed straight for Bashan Hutong.

Gu Wan'er ran away in a hurry. Ye Jintang couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly. Looking at such a lively Gu Wan'er, she was happy for her in her heart. She had slowly walked out of the haze.

That evening, Gu Waner came to Ye Jintang again to report on the afternoon's recruitment.

"My lady, you didn't see it. As soon as we put up the recruitment sign, many people came to sign up. A female worker gets 800 silver coins a month, which is definitely the highest in Bashan Hutong."

When talking about recruiting, Gu Wan'er was very excited.

"You don't want everyone without choosing."

"Of course I have to select them. I have some knowledge. Those with shifty eyes are of course not acceptable. Old women with gray hair are also not acceptable. Also, those with hands as thick as carrots are not acceptable. Hands are too thick to fit in a small box of rouge."

"The female workers I'm recruiting today are all young girls and wives with clean hands and quick work savvy. I've left them the address of my workshop and will have them go there the day after tomorrow."

"I have thought it through. I will divide everyone into groups of 10. I will recruit a few skilled workers from the cosmetics workshop and teach them how to make rouge and powder."

"If a master can monitor ten apprentices, he can see at a glance who is doing what and how they are doing their work."

Ye Jintang listened to Gu Wan'er talking about her thoughts and secretly admired her. She had never said these things out loud, they were all her own thoughts. It was really not easy for her to achieve this level.

"Cousin, you did a great job. It looks like my new workshop will be able to go into production soon."

"This is just my ideal idea. I have no idea whether it will work or what will happen in the process."

Gu Wan'er felt a little embarrassed when Ye Jintang praised her. She never thought that one day she would be able to help Ye Jintang with business.

"You have to believe in yourself. You can definitely open a cosmetics workshop."

Ye Jintang also talked to Gu Wan'er about some of the problems that might be encountered when running a cosmetics workshop. She gave her some precautions in advance so that she wouldn't be at a loss when encountering them.

The two chatted until late at night. Xiao Mo's wheelchair circled the door several times before the two of them left.

During the day, after Gu Wan'er left Ye Jintang in the afternoon, she immediately sent someone to call Zhou Wuwei over.

"Wuwei, I heard that you have been practicing martial arts with General Shi every day recently. Why did you suddenly become so diligent?"

"Your Highness, I want to participate in the competition at the South Camp in the near future. I heard that the prize is a very valuable top-grade jade bracelet."

"The South Camp is full of grown men. The prizes for their competition shouldn't be sharp swords or rare armor. Why do they use jade bracelets as prizes?"

"I heard that it was given by Madam Qi. She said that there were too many bachelors in the South Camp, and she gave a jade bracelet as a lucky draw. Maybe it would help the bachelors in the South Camp get married as soon as possible."

Ye Jintang thought that only Madam Qi could have such a strange idea, and only General Ding could listen to his wife so much and change the reward into a jade bracelet.

"It seems that Wuwei has grown up and has started to think about getting married. How was the recent competition between you and General Shi?"

Zhou Wuwei did not directly answer Ye Jintang's first question, but answered the second one.

"General Shi is a few years older than me. I am weaker than him in terms of strength, but I am better at martial arts. For now, it seems that General Shi has won three out of five games."

“The difference isn’t that big.”

Ye Jintang has always been generous to her own people. Since Zhou Wuwei wants to win the jade bracelet, she will help him.

"Liuli, bring me my medicine box."

"Yes."

Liuli went into the inner room and brought out an extremely exquisite wooden medicine box, which was full of pills that Ye Jintang had made himself according to the prescription given by Liuli.

When making these pills, she added space spring water.

After Ye Jintang, a weak woman, took the space spring water, her body experienced a qualitative leap. For someone like Zhou Wuwei who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, the effect should be even more obvious.

"I have some body-strengthening pills here. Take them. In five days at most, I guarantee that you will be stronger than General Shi."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Zhou Wuwei took a small bottle from Liuli with both hands, which contained five small black pills.

"I have another task for you to do. The palace has an unoccupied workshop in the west of the city. It used to be a dyeing workshop with a large area, but it went bankrupt due to poor management. You will take people to clean up the dyeing workshop and turn it into a cosmetics workshop."

"Yes, little one, let's do it right now."

Zhou Wuwei took the order and left. Ye Jintang was afraid that the effect of taking only the body-strengthening pills would not be good enough, so he secretly used a small porcelain bottle to fill five bottles of spring water from the space, and asked Liuli to give them to Zhou Wuwei, asking him to take them privately at night when no one was around, and the effect of the body-strengthening pills would be better.

After being ordered to do a bunch of things, Ye Jintang was not idle either. He entered the space and began to plant flowers frantically.

Most of the raw materials for rouge and powder come from these beautiful flowers. She has to supply a workshop of more than 400 people to make rouge and powder, so naturally the amount of raw materials needed is not small.

The flowers in the space grow slightly slower than ordinary medicinal herbs, and it takes 10 minutes for a batch to bloom. Ye Jintang was too lazy to go back and forth, so he simply started reading medical books in the space.

After studying for such a long time, she had almost memorized all the prescriptions passed down from the Liuli family.

She has also learned 90% of the medical skills of the Liuli Society.

Now, most of the time, she prepares her own medicines according to prescriptions.

For Ye Jintang, who had never been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine before, preparing medicines was not difficult. With her dexterous hands, there was almost nothing she couldn't do.

Time always passes very quickly in space. Ye Jintang didn't even feel the passage of time. It was already late, and Xiao Mo came to call her to have dinner together on time.

"Jintang, where is your red fire snake?"

As soon as Xiao Mo entered the room, he saw Ye Jintang, who seemed to have just woken up, drinking sour plum soup.

"Liuli said that the red fire snake didn't like the chilly feeling in my room, so I took it out to bask in the sun this afternoon."

As soon as Ye Jintang finished speaking, Liuli came in, holding the red fire snake and lifting the curtain.

The impact of the red fire snake, which was as thick as a bowl, was quite shocking. Even Xiao Mo, who was not afraid of snakes, felt a little frightened when he saw it, not to mention Ye Jintang.

"Your Majesty, please have dinner here."

Ye Jintang took a look at the red fire snake and felt uneasy.

It took her about half a month to get used to the little green snake and she was no longer so afraid of it. But the red fire snake had been around her for many days and she still couldn't look it in the face calmly.
