Chapter 282 Cosmeceuticals

"There is no need to use the money from the Duke of Qi's Mansion. If no one is willing to pay for the military expenses, I will go around the capital to borrow money. I'm sure every family in the capital will pay a little."

Su Tang thought that if it really came to that, she would raid the homes of all officials and wealthy families in the capital at night. She had her own space anyway, and those people would definitely not think of getting involved with her.

Besides, the money and food she had looted in the northern border were all in the space, so there was still a minimum guarantee.

"You silly child, this country's war is not your responsibility as a little girl. Even if the Duke of Qi is asked to kneel at the gate of the palace, it is not your turn to borrow money."

Old Madam Qi patted Su Tang's shoulder lovingly. Her Qi Lingheng was indeed a man of vision and luck, to have found such a lovely person like Su Tang to be with in this life.

"You will be alone when you go back, so eat here at noon. I'll ask the kitchen to make something you like." Old Madam Qi looked at Su Tang lovingly and said.

"Okay." Su Tang nodded.

Although the Duke of Qi was not the chief commander this time, Emperor Jing did not initially arrange for him to lead troops to southern Xinjiang.

But after the army set out, the Duke of Qi actually ran to the imperial study of Emperor Jing and said that he was itching to fight and would feel uncomfortable if he did not join the war. He insisted that Emperor Jing give him an order to go to southern Xinjiang.

He also said that if Emperor Jing did not agree today, he would come to the Imperial Study every day after the court session.

Emperor Jing was harassed by the Duke of Qi for a long time, but finally, thinking that he wanted some peace and quiet, he agreed to the Duke of Qi's request.

Half a day after the army set out, the Duke of Qi happily led 200 Qi cavalrymen to chase the army.

So now, Madam Qi is the only master left in Duke Qi’s Mansion.

After having lunch at the Duke of Qi’s Mansion, Su Tang left.

"Master, are we going back home?" Chunmei asked after Su Tang got on the carriage.

"Let's go to the drugstore first."

"Yes." After Chunmei responded, the guard who was driving their carriage also heard it and drove the carriage towards the drugstore.

The street was very busy, and the shop that Su Tang chose was also on the busiest main street in Kyoto.

For the sake of convenience, Su Tang usually does not choose a carriage with the logo of Prince Qi's Palace or the Princess's Palace when traveling. However, although the carriage she rides is plain on the outside, the interior is decorated very comfortably.

Lifting the car curtain, Su Tang looked at the people coming in and out of other shops on the road.

I have to say, the people in Kyoto are very comfortable.

Even though the foreign armies had reached the border, the streets of Kyoto were as busy as ever.

There was no sign of nervousness on anyone's face.

After lowering the car curtain, Su Tang leaned back on the car seat.

This time when Qi Lingheng and his men went to southern Xinjiang, although they had prepared enough medicinal herbs, Su Tang also prepared some special medicines for some important generals in the Qi family army in case of emergency.

But Su Tang felt that if the two armies really went to war, there would inevitably be heavy casualties, so it was still necessary to prepare more medicines and send them over there.

So this time, Su Tang planned to buy some herbs in Beijing.

Arriving at the renovated drugstore, Su Tang and her group entered from the backyard.

As soon as the carriage entered the yard, Dongmei and Zhang, who were looking after the shop, came to the backyard to greet them.

"Master." The two shouted in unison.

"Ms. Zhang, why are you here today?" Chunmei lifted the curtain of the carriage and raised her hand to help Su Tang get out of the carriage.

Su Tang was a little surprised to see Zhang. She had just returned from the farm yesterday and didn't expect to see Zhang again today.

"Several women in the farm worked overtime last night and finally finished the cosmetics before dawn. I quickly delivered it to you." Zhang replied with a smile.

In ancient times, there were no such things as preservatives, so most things did not have a long shelf life.

Fortunately, Su Tang and her team are making medical cosmetics, and because of the medicinal properties of some herbs, their shelf life is longer than ordinary rouge.

But even so, Zhang still wanted to send it as early as possible, so she packed all the prepared cosmetics and sent them hurriedly.

After listening to Zhang's explanation, Su Tang nodded, "It doesn't matter if it's a day or two. We should not rush the work next time. Our cosmetics should be based on quality first, and we must not let mistakes happen because of rushing the goods."

The prices of Su Tang's cosmetics are not low. They are for wealthy women in Beijing, so they cannot be sloppy.

"Yes, I remember it." After hearing what Su Tang said, Zhang did not show any displeasure on her face. She nodded in agreement.

"Master, Zhang and I were just checking those cosmetics. This batch of cosmetics was prepared according to your instructions. We asked the people in our shop to try it first, and they will be sold after there are no problems." Dongmei walked to Su Tang and replied.

"Well, put up a big sign in a conspicuous place in the shop, indicating that today's cosmetics have been tried on the clerk's face." Su Tang reminded.

"Yes." Dongmei responded again.

When I entered the shop in front, the shop was filled with a faint scent of medicine.

The smell of this medicine is very refreshing, and it also has a light and elegant plum scent, making people feel as if all the fatigue in the body has been cleared away.

Su Tang went directly to the private room behind the store. This drugstore was converted into a store with the front for receiving customers and the back for storing goods and resting for the shop assistants.

Of course, a separate room must be reserved for Su Tang here, so that Su Tang can rest and stay whenever she comes to check.

"This is the cosmetics delivered today." Dongmei took out an exquisite small porcelain box, which contained the cosmetics sold in their drugstore.

Su Tang opened the box, took a look, then nodded with satisfaction.

She didn't need to try this cosmetic. After all, she was the one who gave the formula, and she knew best what the final product would look like.

Seeing that Su Tang was satisfied, Zhang, who was standing aside, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“It can be sold externally.”

Dongmei agreed and immediately gave some instructions to the maids waiting outside.

Here, Zhang saw that Su Tang was very satisfied with the cosmetics sent this time. She had nothing else to do here, so she said goodbye to Su Tang and returned to the manor.

"Dongmei, can we still contact the person who supplied herbs to our pharmacy?"

This drugstore and cosmetics shop was converted from the pharmacy previously opened by Su Tang.

Although the business of the pharmacy was not very good later due to the suppression from several surrounding drugstores, at least when Su Tang took over this drugstore from the second prince, it was already a drugstore business.

So originally there were drug dealers supplying medicines to pharmacies.

"We can get in touch with that herbal remedy dealer. He comes to Kyoto every few months." That herbal remedy dealer doesn't just supply Su Tang and his family.

"Find an opportunity to ask the drug dealer to come to the shop."
