” Alright. In the future, you just have to remember the settlement date every year.” Zhou Ying said.
“Understood. If Mistress has no other instructions, I’ll take my leave.” Niu Fugui said.
“You may leave. It’s the end of the year. Remember to be careful.”
“Yes.” Niu Fugui nodded and turned to leave.
Over the next few days, Zhou Ying saw that the weather was cold, so she asked the servant girls to help the people in the kitchen prepare the New Year’s food, such as steamed buns, bean buns, rice cakes, as well as all kinds of braised meat, cold dishes, and more.
This way, the people in the kitchen could relax for two days during the new year.
She didn’t stay idle either. Taking advantage of Gu Chenglin’s return, she took out five cows, ten pigs, ten sheep, and a number of chickens and ducks from her interspace.
She also began to prepare dishes for the new year.
On the 27th day of the month, after Zhou Ying had prepared all the cooked food, she took out two roast chickens, two roast ducks, two large pieces of spiced beef, a braised pig’s head, a pig’s leg, and two large jars of wine to send to Second Uncle Gu and the others.
On the 28th, the accounts of the various manors were sent over, so Zhou Ying began to check the accounts.
Not long after, Qiuxiang ran in and informed him. “Mistress, Manager Gu is back. Do you want to see him now or wait a little longer?”
“Let him come in directly.” Zhou Ying nodded.
“Yes, Mistress.” Qiu Xiang ran out. Soon, Gu Zheng came in with a box and bowed. “Greetings, Mistress.”
“Have a seat. Did everything go well outside?”
“Thanks to you, other than spending some effort gathering the raw materials at the beginning, everything else went smoothly. These are the accounts from the capital and Ping Yang Residence. Please take a look.” Gu Zheng placed a box on the ground.
“How are the profits?” Zhou Ying nodded.
“It’s not a problem for sales in the capital to earn a thousand taels of silver a day, especially during the period before the new year.
“However, Hengzhou Province is doing a little worse but still managed to get a thousand taels a day before the new year.”
“That’s normal, as there are many rich families in the capital. Do you have any plans for next year?”
“I plan to go to Dongyang Province in the first half of next year. I’ll build a large workshop in Qingshui Town, our hometown in Dongyang. The transportation there is convenient and can cover four or five provinces.
“As for the second half of the year… I want to go back to my hometown, Fuzhou.” Gu Zheng said hesitantly.
“Go back and take revenge?”
“Yes, go back and take revenge. Some things should be done then.”
“Go ahead. Even if you’re involved in a lawsuit, ensure you stand on the side with more reasoning. Don’t let hatred blind your eyes.
“You’re still young. You can always start all over again.”
“This lowly one will remember it. I will not act rashly again.”
“Mhm, you can leave. You can stay in the guest house and have a good rest.”
“Yes, thank you, Mistress.” Gu Zheng responded and turned to walk out.
After he left, Zhou Ying first took a look at the accounts from the manor.
She later also checked the accounts of the rouge shop.
She realized the rouge was selling quite well, at least not worse than any other competitor.
The best products were the daily necessities, especially the soaps, shampoos, and hair tonics. They were the best sellers, followed by toners, moisturizers, and her special lipstick.
After that, she carefully tallied the accounts. The capital’s income in the past year was as high as 300,000 taels.
Hengzhou Province’s income was a little lower. However, in just two to three months, they had also earned 50,000 taels, totaling 400,000 taels.
After checking the banknotes and confirming everything tallied, she put them aside.
She started to plan what new products she would launch next year..
