Chapter 410 Skincare Perfume!
Other people also had this expression, and the products were left to be used by the servants or thrown into the trash bin, but they would not be exclusively enjoyed by the people from Marquis Yongbo's Mansion.
Moreover, they were entirely rival teams and should not benefit others; even though they had given gifts during the visit and had partaken in food and drinks, this reciprocal gift could not benefit the people from Marquis Yongbo's Mansion either.
Ye Shiqi watched as several baskets of skincare perfume, which those people considered low-grade cosmetics, were greedily scooped up for the sake of getting a bargain.
In every era, there were people who sought to take advantage, despising others' possessions but not idle with their own hands. She saw that no one truly took just one bottle; she noticed two individuals secretly taking two bottles each, and she knew who they were.
Ye Shiqi knew these two must have known that those were good items, which was why they acted that way. It was Meng Zhaojun and Mrs. Meng.
Don't think he was unaware—that the two had spoken plenty of ill about his family and the sisters in front of the noble ladies and the rich lady.
Their sisters ignored it, which didn't mean they were unaware; they simply chose to pretend not to recognize them.
Ye Shiqi knew Meng Zhaojun's family were just ordinary officials' households in the Capital City; they did not need to bother with such petty figures.
His family faced visits from numerous wealthy families, still guessing their intentions.
Living in the countryside, one might think the big city was great, but upon achieving success in the big city, having bought houses and properties, one must live with constant vigilance.
Ye Shiqi had no regrets about bringing her family out to face hazards; after all, where was life without danger?
Not to step out and experience life afresh would be a disservice to her reborn life.
She had thought that once these ladies and young ladies were sent off, they would quiet down.
The Marchioness Yongbo and Lady, having already received two bottles of skincare perfume, couldn't resist taking two more from the baskets; others might not think much of it, but they recognized the benefits of the products.
And after everyone else had left, they extended an invitation to Ye Shiqi and her sisters, personally inviting them to visit the mansion the next day.
Ye Shiqi and her sisters wanted to decline, they spoke in a diplomatic manner, saying they were busy, currently occupied with some matters.
Yet they encountered someone who insisted, demanding that they find time to visit nonetheless.
Ye Shiqi and her sisters had no choice but to agree, planning to visit when they were free in a couple of days.
They merely said this verbally; it wasn't certain they would actually find the time to visit someone else's home.
After the guests had departed, as the evening approached, they also hadn't been idle and continued to work, and the sisters also busied themselves.
The next day, an old woman from Marquis Yongbo's Mansion arrived, was brought in to see the Ye family's ladies, and asked if they were available to visit today; the sedan was already waiting at the door, prepared especially for their transport.
Ye Shiqi who met the old woman, no longer needed her elder sisters to come forward as her elder sisters were older and it was less convenient for them to receive outsiders.
Ye Shiqi declined the old woman, saying they were busy stating that the materials provided by their young master had to be processed first, they needed to send these goods to the military before they could find time to visit.
The old woman did not persist excessively, as if having received her master's instructions; when Lady Ye said they weren't available, she mentioned she would return another day and then left with a bow.
Ye Shiqi was indeed busy, such a large batch of resources had to be processed into medicine pills, medicine liquid, even ointment, and medicine powder.
The other sisters and maids and old women of the Ye family continued to make quilts, cotton clothes, cotton trousers,
Even the military uniforms utilized their materials thoroughly.
Ye Haohuan's spy, along with Prince 13's spy, observed from the many people visiting the Ye Residence that the Ye Family's sisters entertained so many noble ladies and madams without any fear; they did not show any timidity and treated them so well.
Though these noble ladies and madams verbally commented that the items provided by the sisters were ordinary.
In other residences, the spies reported that the skincare perfumes intended for maids had been seized upon their return, and the users found them very effective, wanting to find out where the Ye Family's sisters had purchased these perfumes.
People who had previously claimed other households' products were inferior, cheap cosmetics were embarrassed to ask the Ye Family's sisters directly, so they sent someone to inquire instead.
The spies reported that it was completely unclear where the Ye Family's sisters had acquired their goods.
Why did they have so many perfumes? Initially, no one noticed them, only guessing they might have been brought from the countryside.
Are the skincare products from the countryside really this good? Some people deliberately asked shops that frequently sold cosmetics why they couldn't produce such perfumes themselves.
The proprietors of high-end cosmetics shops were also frustrated. Such effective skincare perfumes, crafted with techniques they didn't understand, appeared to use exceptionally high-quality materials, making it impossible to discern how they were refined.
They had also tried to create floral perfumes, but while these could be used merely as perfumes, they were not suitable for skincare.
Anxious shop owners, upon hearing this news, visited to ask for advice or to persuade the sisters to sell their recipes.
Ye Shiqi found that more rouge and powder shop owners visited her home. Later, she sent her maids out to entertain them, telling these people that her skincare perfume was not for sale, nor would it be given away in the future.
Only those close to her, friends, might receive it as a gift.
Shop owners visited with hope and left with hope.
Although they couldn't convince the lady to sell the recipe, or allow their competitors to gain the recipe, they didn't let them become formidable competitors.
Lady Ye, such a covert formidable opponent, could only be observed secretly, not daring to press her to sell the recipe.
Each shop owner had powerful support behind them; if Lady Ye refused to sell the recipe, they would use the perfume received by their madams and ladies for research.
The madams and ladies who had used the product were somewhat reluctant to give up such excellent products for research.
Saving a portion for themselves, they noticed that within just a day or two, conditions like face acne, acne marks, blemishes, wrinkles, and even their skin overall gradually improved.
Such therapeutic products were not as they claimed ordinary or low-grade cosmetics, but rather, items she couldn't buy regardless of the amount of money she spent.
Some individuals began to befriend the Ye Family's sisters for these outstanding products, sending invitations to invite the sisters to their homes.
Ye Shiqi instructed to uniformly decline, stating that they were too busy to visit.
Some gave face; where the Ye Family's sisters did not reciprocate, some were angry while others waited.
Meng Zhaojun and her mother, although somewhat envious, also felt smug about having smartly obtained two extra bottles that day.
Meng Zhaojun knew that their products were made using "Space Water" and had their rouge and powder shops attempt to obtain the recipe from the others.
