Chapter 235 Ketchup
Chapter 235 Ketchup
Zhao Bao asked Song Wanyu to take him to the pavilion to play, and Tang Qiyue was led by Xie Changjin slowly towards the yard.
Although the Marquis' Mansion was full of the governor's servants, Xie Changjin's boldness still made Tang Qiyue feel a little unsure of what to do. She always felt that she would be pointed at and scolded in the next moment.
But she didn't break free from his hand. She didn't ask until they returned to the house, "You don't have to go to the military camp these days?"
"I'm going." Xie Changjin reached out and smoothed the hair on her cheek. "Leave the affairs of the Lu Mansion to me. You don't have to worry about it."
Tang Qiyue could already imagine that Xie Changjin would hit Lu Pingting in the mouth with a stone today. It probably wouldn't be long before the censor would bring people to the Marquis' Mansion to cry, make a fuss, and even hang themselves.
However, Tang Qiyue waited for an hour and saw no one coming, so she realized that the other party was afraid of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion and did not dare to come.
She put this matter behind her for the time being. Tang Qiyue was thinking about what new sauce she could launch recently. Suddenly, she saw Zhao Bao eating egg custard, and an idea flashed in her mind.
She can make ketchup that children like. It is sour and sweet and appetizing, but not as irritating as other sauces. Children can even dip biscuits in ketchup.
They did it as soon as they said it, but Tang Qiuyue seemed to have never seen tomatoes before. Did she have to grow them herself?
She had no choice but to look for tomato seeds in the space. There were some, but not many. In order to make the tomato sauce available earlier, Tang Qiyue quickly planted the seeds in the space. They would mature in a few days and she could make tomato sauce then.
Since Hua Run had been promised that he would develop a new sauce, he had not come to her house in the past two days. He only told her the news that Lin and his family had returned to the village safely when he brought back the sauce.
Tang Qiyue felt relieved. She simply took some banknotes to the pawnshop and prepared to open a shop for Tang Shuyao so that she could sell handkerchiefs directly when she came to Beijing in the future.
The person who came out to greet her from the dental shop was exactly the same person from last time. When he saw her, he smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "So it's Miss Tang. Are you going to buy a shop today?"
As long as Tang Qiuyue comes, there will be no shops or houses that cannot be sold in the pawnshop, so it's no wonder that the manager is so enthusiastic.
Tang Qiyue nodded, "Please ask the manager to find a shop with a good location. The shop doesn't need to be too big. As for whether it has a yard or not, it's better to have a yard."
"As for the price, it's easy to negotiate."
In less than half an hour, Tang Qiyue had secured a shop. She paid readily and the manager of the dental shop was willing to meet her requirements.
The shop is half a street away from the skin care product shop and is also located on a busy street with a lot of people coming and going. There is no shortage of customers.
Tang Qiyue stopped by the skin care products shop and happened to see Lin San busying around. She sighed more than once that letting Lin San be the manager of the shop was the best decision she had ever made.
"Boss, you're here!" As soon as Lin San saw her, he put down the work in his hands and ran over. Ever since he agreed to be the manager of the shop with Tang Qiyue, Lin San changed the way he addressed her. Now the two of them were in a superior-subordinate relationship.
Tang Qiyue didn't intend to correct him, and nodded gently, "The shop plaque I customized will probably be ready tomorrow, so please pay attention to it then."
"What's the name of our shop?"
Tang Qiyue hummed lightly, "You'll know when it arrives. You don't have to put it up right away. You can do it on the opening day."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it." Lin San grinned, as if he had thought of something and asked, "Boss, a lot of people have come to ask about bath soap these past two days. Is this something you made?"
"This is it." Tang Qiyue took out a mint honeysuckle soap from her messenger bag and gave it to him. After explaining the usage in detail, she said, "No matter who asks, you can say that we have it in our store, but we won't sell it until the store opens, okay?"
"There is such a good thing? I know, I know." Lin San reacted immediately and put the two bars of soap in his arms, as if he had obtained some great treasure.
"But there are a lot of people coming to ask every day, and there are also some who are not short of money and want to increase the money for me to sell soap." Lin San felt a headache when he thought about the torture he had been subjected to by the servants of various families in recent days.
"Don't worry, they won't do anything wrong." Now everyone knows that the bath soap was made by her, and who is she? She is from the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, so others have to think twice before looking for trouble.
Suddenly at this moment, Tang Qiyue decided that having money was not enough, power and influence were also needed.
After warning Lin San, Tang Qiyue strolled on the street. As she walked, she felt that many eyes were staring at her.
"It's her, it's her. She looks familiar to me. She was the one who made Lu Qianjin bleed yesterday. The Prince of Jin was there at the time, so she must be the wife of the Prince. No wonder she is so arrogant."
"That's her! I was at the city gate yesterday! I saw it clearly. This future wife of the Crown Prince is not someone you can easily mess with. Speak softly, or I'll hit you in the mouth and make it bleed."
"Oh my, that's impossible. I was just talking, how can I get slapped in the face?"
Tang Qiyue walked slowly, listened to everything these people said, and snorted coldly.
These gossipy people don't even know who beat Lu Pingting, but they are still talking about it. It's really laughable.
"Look, look, she looks scary with a cold face."
"Oh, could it be that she heard what we said? Let's go quickly and don't mess with her." The person who was speaking from behind had a trembling voice due to fear.
Tang Qiyue stopped and looked coldly at the people who had gathered together just now and then dispersed, rolling her eyes.
These people shouldn't be talking about her for no reason. I think they are some unwilling rich girl who wants to ruin her reputation.
Tang Qiyue didn't care at all, but the different looks she received along the way back to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion made her very uncomfortable.
Who would have thought that as soon as she arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, she saw a familiar person standing there. It was Eunuch Fu'an from the palace. Tang Qiyue's heart skipped a beat.
"Miss Tang, His Majesty asks you to come to the palace." Eunuch Fu'an's eyes lit up when he saw her.
Tang Qiyue pursed her lips and said, "Sir, do you know what this is all about?" As she spoke, she stuffed a bulging purse into the other's hand.
Eunuch Fuan put the purse into his sleeve pocket with satisfaction, "We don't know much about this matter, but we can remind Miss Tang that you should never put yourself on the line for something you haven't done, okay?"
Tang Qiyue understood immediately. It seemed that the censor had asked Emperor Yongqing to support his daughter. He did not dare to offend Xie Changjin, so he pushed all the problems onto himself?
Ha ha!
