Chapter 204 Preparing to Return Gifts
Chapter 204 Preparing to Return Gifts
As the two were talking, they soon arrived at the Yun family warehouse.
Yun Yan was still increasing and decreasing the amount, and was hesitant about what gift to give back to Song Lin.
Seeing Yun Xi, his eyes lit up, "Little sister, you came at the right time. Come and see if the gifts prepared for Mr. Song San are enough or not. Are they a bit shabby?"
All the prepared things were neatly placed in a box. Yun Xi and Ying Tianchen walked over to take a look.
In addition to half a box of soaps of various flavors, there were also ten dollars of white paper.
Before Yun Xi could speak, Ying Tianchen took out a bar of soap and said,
"Second brother, this soap is specially made for our own use. Xier said that there are not enough raw materials for this type and we can't make more. We don't even have enough for ourselves, so don't give it to Song Lin. Just give him the ordinary ones sold in the shop."
"Ah? This...isn't good?"
Yun Yan scratched his head, a little confused.
Although my sister said that the raw materials for making this kind of soap are difficult to obtain and the cost is high, so she only makes it for her family. But she also said that if she wants to give this kind of soap as a gift, she would give it as a gift.
During the Chinese New Year, Yun Xi specially made this handmade milk soap which is not sold to the public in order to prepare a decent New Year gift.
Milk Soap
In ancient times, milk was rare and was considered a very precious food and a treasure among tonics. Ordinary people had no access to it.
That is to say, Ying Tianchen is the King of the South, and he raises two dairy cows on his farm in the eastern suburbs.
When Yunxi found out, she asked for some. Ying Tianchen didn't like drinking milk, so he asked someone to give Yunxi his daily milk.
The quantity was not much, so Yun Xi gave some to Yun Yi, Yun Shuai, Yun Qiaoer and grandfather Yun Songlin to drink, and made the rest into handmade milk soap.
In this winter, after using this soap to wash our faces and bathe, our skin has become visibly moisturized and smooth.
Yun Yan thought, isn't this what I gave to the Mu family and the Southern King during the Chinese New Year? Why can't I give it to Song Lin now?
Yesterday I met Song Lin, and he and my eldest brother had a good impression of him. When we came back today, the three siblings discussed what gifts to give. At that time, my youngest sister also mentioned this kind of soap, but she didn't say how much to give.
He looked at Yun Xi, hoping she could come up with an idea.
Yun Xi shook her head gently at him.
As expected of twins who grew up together, Yun Yan immediately understood.
He clapped his hands and said, "Oh, you just reminded me. We shouldn't give away things that can be bought in this shop. We should give away things that can't be bought outside. That way people will appreciate it."
"No, that's not what I meant..."
"Yes, I know what you mean."
Yun Yan interrupted Ying Tianchen before he could finish speaking.
"You mean you don't need to give more, right? I understand. I understand. This really can't be given more. It's rare because it can't be bought outside. Just give four, five, six, seven or eight yuan."
Yun Yan's constant barrage of jokes and chattering left Ying Tianchen with no way to interrupt. He could only purse his lips and stare at his future brother-in-law.
Yun Yan continued: "If Mr. Song San uses it well and wants it again, he will definitely exchange it for silver notes. He is very generous and can earn hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver with just a few pieces of soap. This soap will be his business alone, and we can all make a lot of money. This deal is worth it."
Ying Tianchen put down the milk soap in his hand and said no more.
Well, it would be good to earn more money from Song Lin. But I still feel a little unhappy.
At this time, Yun Xi came over and said, "I'm making a new soap. This one has a unique scent, good effects, and looks even more beautiful. When the time comes, it will really only be used by our family, and we can't give it to anyone else."
These words pleased Ying Tianchen, and his expression softened immediately.
Seeing this, Yun Xi continued, "So if we don't give this model away now, we won't need it in the future, and it would be a waste to keep it. We can give more to Mr. Song San. Just like what Second Brother said, if he thinks it's good, maybe we can even make some money from him."
Now Ying Tianchen's unhappiness was completely gone.
"Okay, I'll listen to Xier."
Yun Xi pointed at the box and said to Yun Yan, "Second brother, milk soap and rosemary soap are ten dollars each, and white paper is ten dollars. Then just pick two baskets of fruits and vegetables."
After a pause, he continued, "Don't forget to prepare an extra portion for Qingli, and a little more for the Mu family."
Mu Qingli also asked for it yesterday, so of course it can’t be given to just him. The other brothers and sisters of the Mu family must also have a share.
Yun Xi watched Yun Yan busying himself awkwardly and reminded him, "Second brother, you can ask Butler Cao to prepare for this."
Yun Yan slapped his head and said, "Look at me, I'm used to being a peasant."
After he finished speaking, he dropped the things in his hand and went out of the warehouse to find Butler Cao.
Yun Xi and Ying Tianchen looked at each other, smiled, and walked out together.
"It's time to arrange more manpower to help the family get used to it. I'll send some maids and servants over later." Ying Tianchen said.
Yun Xi thought about it and realized that things were different now. With her relationship with Ying Tianchen, the Yun family would also prosper.
This is a fact.
The Yun family’s social circle is small now. Apart from the people in the village, there are Ying Tianchen and the Mu family.
They were very tolerant of the Yun family and didn't have to worry about their manners. But as their social circle expanded, others might not necessarily care about it.
The most important thing for the Yun family to learn now is the transformation of their status. They are no longer pure farmers. Most of the people they will deal with in the future will be people of status and position, so they cannot be ignorant.
Ying Tianchen said that he would arrange people to serve, and naturally he would also arrange a few well-mannered maids to give instructions.
Knowing that Ying Tianchen was doing this for their own good, Yun Xi did not refuse, "Okay, you decide on the arrangements, I'll tell my family."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Find a teacher to teach etiquette for the village school. I will let all the villagers attend the class. Not everyone needs to learn it, but at least they can learn from it. It will be beneficial in the end."
Ying Tianchen thought this was a good idea and nodded in agreement.
I was also thinking about how many people were needed here and which ones would be appropriate to send over.
Considering the situation of the Yun family, the number of people sent here is not important, but their quality is.
Within a few breaths, an idea came to his mind.
