Chapter 361 The Prince's Mystery: The Cannon Fodder Bride Forced into a Substitute Marquis's Marquisate VS The Frail and Early-Dying Eldest Son of the Marquis's Family (36)
Su Jinyue's greatest passion was taking care of Shen Huaizhi. In spring and summer, there were many kinds of vegetables, and the greens that Su Jinyue had asked the farm manager to plant earlier were growing fast and ready to eat.
In addition, Su Jinyue's cooking skills surpassed those of ancient times. She instructed the cooks on some cooking techniques, and the cooks were very clever. Their dishes, if not perfect, were at least eight or nine parts of Su Jinyue's skill.
Even the brothers Feng Enchi and Feng Yiming, who lived on the estate, enjoyed it very much, feeling that even the dishes in the manor were not as delicious as those on the estate.
Su Jinyue intentionally or unintentionally showed the things she had made in advance to the Feng brothers, Feng Enchi and Feng Yiming.
Feng Enchi was a bit slow on the uptake; he only thought the soap was easy to use, the perfume smelled nice, and the wine that Brother Shen brought out was mellow and strong. He was even more amazed by the exquisite glassware compared to the crystal.
Upon seeing these things, Feng Yiming somewhat understood the intentions of Shen Huaizhi and his wife.
Any one of these things could cause a sensation, and if used properly, could bring huge profits.
However, Shen Huaizhi had already separated from the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, or perhaps he didn't want to hand these things over to the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion. His own power was insufficient to protect these things, so Shen Huaizhi needed to find another power.
It's unclear whether Shen Huaizhi brought these things out to cooperate with the Marquis of Chengen's mansion or if he had other plans.
Feng Yiming stayed at Su Jinyue's estate for two months. After a month and a half, the cast was removed. After another half month of observation and rehabilitation, Feng Yiming was able to stand and walk a few steps.
Upon hearing the news, Feng Shizi, who rushed over to see his eldest son walking normally again, had tears in his eyes.
Prince Feng kept saying, "Good, good, this is really great!"
Over the past year, he has been under immense pressure, heartbroken by Feng Yiming's injury and helpless about Feng Enchi's lack of knowledge and skills, and ultimately worried about his family.
Now that Feng Yiming's leg is healed, all the problems have been solved.
Two months have passed since the surgery, and Feng Yiming's leg bone has healed. As long as he avoids strenuous exercise and takes care to recover for another month, he should be fine.
Given the current situation, there's no need for Feng Yiming to stay on the estate; he can now return home to recuperate.
But before Feng Yiming returned home, Shen Huaizhi had a special chat with him. The content of the chat is unknown, but judging from their expressions, they both seemed quite satisfied.
After that, Shen Huaizhi went to see Feng Enchi. For the past two months, Feng Enchi had been having a blast at the manor under the guise of taking care of his brother.
He went around traveling and reconnected with his cronies, having a great time.
Seeing that Feng Yiming was about to return to the mansion, and that he would no longer be able to freely enter and leave the mansion, Feng Enchi became sullen.
However, what Shen Huaizhi wanted to talk to him about made his eyes light up!
"Brother Shen, you want to do business with me? Like those perfumes, soaps, wines, and glasswares from your estate?"
Shen Huaizhi nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, didn't you think it was easy to use?"
These things aren't available in the capital. I think I could make a good profit selling them.
But as a son of a concubine in a marquis's household, I am not valued by the Marquis of Xuanping's family. I fear that if I rashly offer my services, I will attract unwanted attention. Therefore, I would like to cooperate with you and your friends.”
Feng Enchi was extremely excited. He usually just ate, drank, and had fun. His family never made any demands on him or asked him to be ambitious.
Some time ago, because of his older brother, Feng Enchi was asked by his father to study hard, but studying really wasn't suitable for him.
To outsiders, he and his friends were all good-for-nothing playboys. He wanted to do something to make others look at him differently, but he couldn't think of anything he could do.
I never expected Brother Shen to come to me to do business!
Feng Enchi felt this was a great opportunity. He had used all the things on Brother Shen's estate before, and they were really useful, fun, and delicious.
He also took it out to share with his friends, and they really wanted it too, some even offering high prices to buy it.
If these items were opened in a shop and sold, Feng Enchi could imagine how booming the business would be!
"Yes, yes, let's cooperate! Brother Shen, my friends are very interested in these things, and they will definitely agree if they know about the cooperation."
Shen Huaizhi was speechless. They hadn't even discussed any specifics yet, and Feng Enchi had already agreed to cooperate?
Seeing that Feng Enchi was too excited, Shen Huaizhi quickly tried to dissuade him and calm him down.
After Feng Enchi calmed down, he added that doing business is not a simple matter and that a lot of preparation is needed before opening a shop.
Shen Huaizhi did not intend to reveal himself to the public, so he only provided the technology but wanted 30% of the profits. Other things, such as funds, shops, and personnel, needed to be prepared by Feng Enchi and his friends.
Shen Huaizhi didn't ask Feng Enchi and other纨绔 (playboys) to prepare these things because he wanted to make things difficult for them.
Although they didn't understand these things, the families behind them were very powerful. Large families had many shrewd and capable servants. Funds and shops could be taken out at will without going through the head of the family or by their doting mothers and grandmothers.
As for the issue of keeping the secret recipe a secret, Shen Huaizhi and Su Jinyue had already discussed it. Among these playboys, they would select two or three families with relatively strong backgrounds, and the secret recipe would only be known to these two or three families.
As for the others, let them invest in the form of capital, without participating in subsequent operations, and just wait to collect their share.
In this way, Shen Huaizhi's business deal was limited to this group of playboys, but indirectly, Shen Huaizhi was also connected with the family power behind these playboys.
Even if someone finds out that Shen Huaizhi is the one who produced the secret formula, they will have to think twice before trying to seize it, considering the power behind these playboys and whether they can afford to offend them!
Upon hearing Shen Huaizhi's plan, Feng Enchi acted swiftly.
The next day, Feng Enchi brought two friends to the estate.
These two people are Fan Hengjun, the eldest son of the second son of Princess Ning'an, and Tang Ruihao, the grandson of Prince Zhuang, a brother of the late emperor.
These two men are about the same age as Feng Enchi, but their backgrounds are in no way inferior to Feng Enchi's.
They weren't even afraid of the current princes. They were all spoiled by their families and had no pressure to inherit their family businesses. If they were bullied, they could go directly to the palace and meet the emperor. They were extremely arrogant.
With these two people joining the business, along with the Chengen Marquis's mansion, this business was practically untouchable in the capital.
Shen Huaizhi was lost in thought, but his face remained warm and friendly as he took out all the items and introduced them to them one by one.
Tang Ruihao and Fan Hengjun were both playful people, and they were actually very curious about the things Feng Enchi had brought out, but they had to put on airs.
