“I only know the raw materials. I don’t know the specific production process. Mistress, aren’t we selling skin cream?” Gu Zheng paused for a moment and asked hesitantly.
“Yes, but it’s impossible for a shop to only sell one or two products.
“Otherwise, we can only open a workshop to supply others. That way, our profits will be much lower. You should know the bottles and jars used to make rouge, right?” Zhou Ying asked.
“I know.”
“Buy ten sets of them, and remember to buy some small bottles of moisturizer.
“In addition, design the pattern on the bottle. The brand will be ‘Madame’. In the future, all our products will use this brand, and all our bottles will be custom-made.”
Gu Zheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing that. Soon, his eyes lit up. The goods with a logo were much easier to recognize and also easier to promote.
It seemed that there was a reason why their restaurant’s business was so popular.
“Remember to buy some rice ingredients.” Zhou Ying handed him a hundred taels of silver.
“Yes.” After Gu Zheng left, Zhou Ying had someone clean up the wing room in the east courtyard.
She took out some dried flowers, beeswax, and the flower essential oil that she had soaked in earlier.
After Gu Zheng bought many different types of rice, Zhou Ying took some of them and soaked them.
The next day, after everything was ready, Zhou Ying brought Gu Zheng and the newly bought women to the wing room to start the experiment.
The first was face powder. They just needed to mix rice flour with different colors, so it was relatively simpler.
Then, there was the rouge made from pollen, essential oil, and beeswax.
Finally, there was the moisturizer. This was actually quite simple, but the base oil was a little high-end. She took it all out of her interspace.
After she was done, Zhou Ying shook her stiff neck and said, “Let’s do these first. You guys practice according to the ratio. When you’re familiar with it, I’ll teach you new ones.”
She looked at Gu Zheng and added, “If it’s a workshop, it’ll be set up in the new manor. When the time comes, you can arrange it in advance and prepare everything.”
“Understood. I’ll make the arrangements now.”
“Alright, if you need money, go to Butler Niu. All of it will be from the house.”
“Yes.” After Gu Zheng nodded, he went out to work excitedly.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying monitored the women’s rouge, cosmetics, and skin moisturizer preparation.
After they mastered it, they deconstructed the formula of the handmade soap and made a variety of soaps.
For example, perilla soap, rose soap, honey soap, and bamboo charcoal soap.
She even asked Gu Chengrui for a prescription for shampoo and made shampoo and conditioner.
Two months later, the shop finally opened when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
Previously, because Zhou Ying had specially distributed a batch of trial products to the wealthy ladies, the business was quite hot when the shop opened.
In particular, all kinds of soaps, moisturizers, shampoos, hair tonics, and other new products were basically out of stock every day.
At the same time, Zhou Ying took out some commonly used rose seeds, Luo Shen seeds, forget-me-not seeds, and lavender seeds and planted them in the manor.
She even got Gu Chengrui to buy two manors in the south to grow aloes.
It was the Empress’s death anniversary in the blink of an eye.
After the Emperor personally went to the Imperial Mausoleum to pay his respects to the Empress, he sent out two pieces of shocking news the next morning.
The first was to confer the title of Empress on Gu Wanning.
The second was to put the Eldest Princess under Gu Wanning’s name.
Those who were thinking about the position of Empress wanted to object, but because of the existence of the First Prince, they could not.
However, the new consort selection was once again put on the agenda after the Empress conferring ceremony..
