In just a short ten days, Jin Xiu Garden and the entire No Envy Building had been on fire. Every day, a group of people would wait at the entrance of the Jin Xiu Garden to try their luck and see if they could enter the Jingling City for a cup of tea.
Wei Yi, Yun Chun and the others who were in charge of brewing tea also earned the support of a group of people in a short period of time. Some people were even quarreling because a tea herba's skills were better than others in brewing tea.
He never thought that selling tea would actually bring him such profits. In just a short ten days, he had earned over ten thousand gold, and this was because the opening of the business limited the number of people who could enter Jin Xiu Garden, if not, he would be able to earn even more.
Mu Yunyao was in the teahouse looking through the newly delivered tea leaves, these teas were all dried and fried in accordance to her method, every tea-leaf was especially meticulous, thus the aroma was extremely pleasing to the nose.
Jin Lan entered the door and reported: "Miss, Steward Qin is here."
"Send him in." Mu Yunyao said as she walked out to welcome them.
Steward Qin now had a lot of admiration for Mu Yunyao, and had already written to praise her more than once. She kept urging Eunuch Cheng to beat the drums, telling him to carry the golden doll back as soon as possible, "Miss, this is the accounts for the past ten days, do you want to take a look?"
"Isn't the account at the end of the month?" Because she had already set a 40% discount with Prince Yue, she only settled the accounts at the end of the month. Seeing that Steward Qin was already taking the accounts, she could not help but feel surprised.
"My lady, quickly take a look. In just a short span of thirteen days, Jin Xiu Garden has earned a net profit of fifteen thousand silver taels!"
As such, she did not hold back in her pricing. The most expensive Herba Scenting Decoction was sold for three silver taels a pot, after all, this was something that Grand Coordinator Zhang and the rest were extremely impressed with, so naturally, it could not be priced at an ordinary price.
To ordinary people, three taels of silver could allow a family of three to live for half a year, but to wealthy families, it was nothing more than a random reward.
As a result, every guest who could enter the Jin Xiu Garden to drink tea would need to spend at least four to five taels of silver each. As a result, the amount of silver they could earn per month was within her expectations.
Seeing Mu Yunyao's calm expression, Steward Qin was momentarily at a loss as to how to react. He had thought that she would be exceptionally surprised, but unexpectedly, she was even calmer than him, causing him to suddenly feel as if he had never seen the world before. "Reading the accounts for this lady is only a convenience, I want to discuss with her about how to settle this accounts in half a month. "Fourth Master's residence is quite far away, so it won't be convenient for me to give you more silver …"
"Alright, as long as the accounts are clear, we can do whatever we want with the accounts." Mu Yunyao's expression did not change, but many guesses flashed through her mind. Steward Qin would not say it was not for no reason, it was not easy to give out silver, they just need to exchange it for silver, there was nothing inconvenient about it, the only possibility, was that Prince Yue was short of money, and furthermore, extremely short!
"I do remember something else, I want to discuss with Steward Qin."
"Miss, if there's anything you need, just say it."
The tea leaves are useless to be sold, and are not worth much silver. I just want to set up some tea stand s in some public roads and on some wharves, and each person can pay a bit of money to drink the tea. It would be convenient for people, but it would also be worth it for us to gain some good reputation.
Steward Qin nodded: "Lady is truly kind."
"Why not do all the little things you can do? But we have to be extra careful, there are people selling tea at many of the docks, too. We have to do good deeds, and we can't interfere with other people's business. "
"Yeah, I'll get people to pay extra attention to it." Since she was doing a good deed, she might as well be careful and not attract the complaints of others.
Steward Qin's movements were extremely fast. In just two short days, many places had tea stand s propping them up, a pot, a pot of tea, a pile of black porcelain bowls, and a few tables and stools.
What was unexpected was that the tea stand on the pier had attracted many customers for the No Envy Building. Those guests had seen the skills used in brewing tea in the No Envy Building and all went to the Steward Qin to discuss the purchase of tea leaves.
Steward Qin naturally had no reason to refuse. In a short period of time, he had sold the tea leaves for close to twenty thousand silver taels.
Prince Yue's letter once again arrived in Mu Yunyao's hands. This time, the letter was even simpler, with one word: Relax.
Mu Yunyao looked at the two words on the letter that were as sharp as knives and couldn't help but sigh at the Prince Yue's golden words. She had sent twenty thousand silver taels over, but had only exchanged it for two words, and at the same time, couldn't help but think of her previous guess.
Could it be that Prince Yue really lacked silver taels? When she saw Prince Yue in her previous life, he had already become Prince Jin's concubine. At that time, the Emperor's health was not good, and he fought with the princes in the imperial court until his eyes turned green. When the Prince Yue returned to the capital, the Emperor was already too ill to go to the imperial court early, and even ordered the Prince Yue to command the Imperial Guards to guard Gong Cheng.
As for Prince Jin and the rest, they were extremely wary of the Prince Yue. Previously, his situation was indeed not too good, and he did not even have much presence within the imperial court.
In any case, he already knew that after three years, he would be able to make a comeback. If his situation was not good right now, he might as well help out a little.
When Steward Qin received Eunuch Cheng's reply, he was even more ecstatic. He looked at Yu Yi who was standing at the side and said, "You said that Master received Miss Mu's letter and directly said that she wanted to protect her own people?" Doesn't that mean that Master is also interested in Miss Mu?
Yu Yi, who came to deliver the letter, couldn't help but think back to what she had said. "I heard from Yu Heng that Master means to protect his own things.
"Things are dead, but people are alive. Which one of these things is important? Master's intentions must be for us to properly protect the Miss Mu! " Steward Qin glanced at Yu Yi. He was the same as Yu Heng, his brain was dead.
Yu Yi carefully looked at Steward Qin's expression, and felt that it was better to not refute him. He straightforwardly changed the topic, "Steward Qin, I think Jin Xiu Garden's business is pretty good."
"Yeah, it's all thanks to the Miss Mu, when I first saw her, I already felt that she was extremely extraordinary. Speaking of Mu Yunyao, Steward Qin was full of smiles, and kept praising him, "You were not fortunate enough to drink the tea personally brewed by Miss Mu, Wei Yi and Yun Chun are still far from it. Back then …"
Yu Yi did not know how to react. When he first saw Steward Qin, he kept asking about his master, but now he was praising others. If he did not know that he was loyal to his master, he would have suspected that the Steward Qin was being bribed.
