"But because sanitary napkins use light oilcloth, the materials required are not easy to purchase at home..."
Before she finished speaking, Ai Niang's eyes were shining: "My dear, this is a business worth doing."
"Yes," Ye Fuxun nodded, "We can mass-produce sanitary napkins, promote them in the capital first, and then sell them throughout the Yan Kingdom."
Guan Qian nodded thoughtfully: "In that case, it is indeed feasible."
Ye Fuxun looked at Ainiang and Guan Qian, and an idea came to her mind. She looked at Ainiang and said, "Ainiang, I still don't know what the main reason is for you to come to the capital this time?"
Ai Niang smiled calmly: "Back to my wife, the young lady has actually been ordered by Master Yu. Firstly, she takes the girl to Beijing, and secondly, she comes here for sanitary napkins."
"Young Master Yu told Ai Niang to come to the Prince's Mansion to find you after arriving in the capital. He said that he wanted the young lady to obey the Queen's orders from now on."
Ye Fuxun's heart moved and he couldn't help but smile happily: "It just so happens that I am indeed in need of help."
"I want to open a spa shop."
"Si...ba shop?" Ai Niang stuttered as she read these words, her eyes full of confusion. "What exactly is the business you want to open this shop for?"
"Come and feel it for yourself, and you will understand."
Ye Fuxun stood up, asked Xiao Yu to give a few instructions, and then led the two of them to a wing next door.
"The spa shop is mainly a place that provides skin care and beauty care for female customers who come to the shop." She looked at Ai Niang and then at Guan Qian, "Which one of you wants to try it yourself?"
Guan Qian raised her hand: "How about Qian'er come?"
Ye Fuxun smiled and signaled to Xiaoyu, who came over to help Guan Qian lie down on the bed.
"Let's try the facial skin care part first," Ye Fuxun said with a smile, "I have a complete set of massage techniques that can be used to massage the head, face, shoulders and neck, and even the whole body."
“By massaging and using corresponding essential oils or facial lotion, you can achieve the effect of replenishing moisture and rejuvenating the skin.”
Ye Fuxun had already learned the entire method from Xiaoyu and often experienced it himself, so Xiaoyu was quite proficient in his craft.
"The first step is to cleanse the face. We use specially formulated cleansers and unique techniques to clean the face, which can ensure that every pore is cleansed thoroughly."
Ye Fuxun explained while Xiaoyu operated.
Ai Niang watched carefully and squeezed the cleanser on the back of her hand to try it, her eyes showing deep thought.
Guan Qian was still a little nervous at first, but after Xiaoyu massaged her face, she gradually relaxed and felt so comfortable that she wanted to fall asleep.
"Cleaning your face is the first step," Ye Fuxun said in a gentle voice, "The next step is to apply it on your face."
Xiaoyu picked up a thin cotton handkerchief, put it in a jar to soak for a while, then took it out and applied it to Guan Qian's face.
"Is this a specially cut cotton handkerchief?" Ai Niang looked at the handkerchief being put on it obediently, and exclaimed, "What's in the jar?"
"It is a hydrating and whitening essence," Ye Fuxun explained. "Using it on the face can allow the essence to be absorbed into the skin to the greatest extent."
“After cleansing and applying facial mask, what are the other steps?”
Ai Niang became more and more interested when she saw how comfortable Guan Qian was.
"Then the moisturizing and firming cream is penetrated into the skin through massage."
The skin care products such as essences and creams used by Ye Fuxun are from well-known private skin care stores.
Although there are not various brands of skin care products in Yan State like modern times, there are still shops in Yan State's capital selling privately made lotions and creams.
If you want to open a spa shop, it is best to use your own brand of skin care products, or even specially develop related products according to user needs.
Ye Fuxun had no idea about this for the time being. He originally planned to ask his brother if there was any way, but when she heard what she said, Ai Niang smiled.
"My dear, I'm telling you the truth," Ai Niang said, "this little woman used to make ointment."
"The young woman has done all kinds of fragrant lotions and ointments such as cleansing, oil removal, moisturizing, skin tightening, etc." Ai Niang saw Ye Fuxun's expression of interest and said in detail, "I first did it in Jicheng
I once opened a skin care shop, but later I closed the shop because I got married."
A complex expression flashed through her eyes quickly, "Even so, there are still many regular customers of Little Women asking for frankincense ointment over the years."
"Ai Niang," Ye Fuxun's eyes lit up, "Did you also make all the incense in Yu Mansion in Tanyang County?"
Ai Niang nodded: "Back to your Majesty, that's right. The little woman has enjoyed playing tricks on those people since she was a child, making her laugh."
"That's really great."
The fragrant balm prepared by Ainiang herself is even more powerful for her spa shop.
"Ai Niang, then you are solely responsible for the preparation of all kinds of fragrant balms needed in the spa shop," Ye Fuxun said, "I will give you a certain share of shares when I open the shop later. This is called technical investment!"
"Technical investment?" Ai Niang looked confused.
Ye Fuxun explained with a smile. When Ai Niang understood, her heart skipped a beat.
She had escaped from prison because of the help of the young master, and she had already thought about being an ordinary servant of the Yu family's property in this life and doing her best for the young master.
Although she has a free contract, who would have thought that the store opened by Ye Fuxun would invite her to participate as a shareholder?
When I think of this, I immediately want to roll up my sleeves and get started.
"If we want to open a spa shop, we still need a lot of preparation."
Ye Fuxun took out the list he had made early in the morning: "From finding a store, to the specific decoration design, and training a team of maids who are familiar with massage techniques, plus the fragrant balm made by Ai Niang...
Each item requires manpower to arrange it before it can be accomplished."
"Qian'er," she looked at Guan Qian, "since you have come to the capital to make a living, why don't you consider investing in my spa shop?"
"Your Majesty," Guan Qian said firmly, "Qian'er doesn't know how to make ointment, and she's short of money. How can she become a shareholder?"
"I hired the two of you as shopkeepers to manage the spa shop, and you will be paid the corresponding amount of monthly silver every month." Ye Fuxun had already considered this, "You can first write down the IOU for the silver you purchased, and wait until you have the extra money.
Just make it up."
"Okay!" Guan Qian agreed without thinking. She was not only interested in the spa shop that Ye Fuxun mentioned, but she was also very motivated.
After everyone carefully discussed the details for a long time, Ai Niang and Guan Qian left the Prince's Mansion.
"The little lady and Qian'er will find a suitable bunk as soon as possible," Ainiang said before leaving. "Next time, I will bring the ointment and lotion prepared by the little lady to my lady to try."
After seeing the two of them off, Ye Fuxun thought for a moment and wrote a letter to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, please send this letter to my aunt as soon as possible, and ask my aunt to pass it on to my brother."
