Chapter 387: A Quick Bite

"Are you and the Yan City experience hall part of the same chain?"

"Before, Madam Yan hosted a banquet for all the ladies, and they went to the experience hall once; after that she fell in love with this feeling—not just that her body felt comfortable, but even her previously dry skin became moist and supple."

"Before, whenever her husband saw her he would frown, but later he straight out said her condition was good, her skin was good, and the number of nights she stayed over each month increased."

"This time her husband came to Jingdu for business; although she followed him, she regretted leaving—her complexion had just improved a bit, so she left Yan City, not knowing how long it could last."

"I didn't expect Ning Jing to have opened a shop too."

"\"Yes, we're the same chain. \" Rou Jia hurriedly answered with a smile."

"\"I'm the manager of this store, Rou Jia. We have records of Yan City's customers here too—you can enjoy the same service at any of our experience hall branches. \""

"When the experience hall was set up, Jiang Yunchu's main focus was chaining, so that guests would feel at home no matter which branch they visited, receiving the same service."

"The lady's eyes lit up. \"I still have three services left in Yan City; can I use them here? \""

"This was unexpected for her; the reason she didn't refund the money was that she planned to keep using it when she returned to Yan City later."

"\"Of course, I'll check that for you right away. \" Rou Jia nodded, then took out Yan City's ledger and quickly began flipping through it."

"\"Madam, you have three services, but since you were an honored guest at Madam Yan's banquet, our host specially gave you an extra one, so you have four services left. Would you like to use one today? \""

"That lady immediately nodded with a smile; her previous worries were gone—she could enjoy it without spending money, and of course it was the same chain."

"People aren't suckers; they won't just do it for free, will they?"

"Moreover, she specifically pointed out that Madam Yan had brought them and been given a free service—something she hadn't just said—so in the future she could bring more ladies over."

"Thinking this through, the lady set her mind at ease."

"Rou Jia finished marking the ledger, then wrote a note and handed it to a girl on the side."

"The girl went back to the rear courtyard, took a carrier pigeon, slipped the note into a bamboo tube, and released the pigeon."

"All their shops' communications are handled by carrier pigeons, and to ensure information uniformity, all the pigeons and shops have undergone long-term coordination, reaching a point with zero errors."

"\"Is… this still me? \" An Guo Guo exclaimed, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, unconsciously pinching her own cheek—was this really her?"

"Jiang Yun Hui slowly rose from the massage bed, smiled helplessly, and said, \"You're not asking me why my complexion looks so good, are you? \""

"\"If you come every few days, you can do it too. \""

"She said this while letting out a yawn; every time she comes to the shop for the experience, she just wants to sleep."

"This feeling is truly addictive."

"\"You've been here before, no wonder you're so skilled—but you never called me over, Jiang Yun Hui, you're stingy. \" An Guo Guo pouted."

"Jiang Yun Hui glanced at her helplessly and said, \"My lady, don't forget—before yesterday I didn't even know where you were, so how could I call you? \""

"\"Alright, I'm going to change clothes. \""

"\"By the way, you can take this clothing with you or put it in your personal locker—clothes aren't shared, each piece has a name and belongs to only one person. \" She briefly introduced this, which made things easier for Rou Jia."

"Rou Jia bent slightly, then left the rear room and went to the front."

"Once some people have tried it, more curious people will appear."

"Sometimes, the more money one has, the more it represents one's status."

"The noble ladies of Ning Jing seem to have found a new trend; previously they compared clothes, compared jewelry."

"Now they all start comparing skin, comparing whether they've been to an experience hall."

"Initially the experience hall didn't require reservations, but as crowds grew, one had to book and queue; if you missed your time slot, you had to rebook."

"\"So much money? \" Jiang Yunchu couldn't help rubbing her eyes when she saw the ledger."

"She…"

"You didn't see wrong, did you?"

"Shuying, the usually cool beauty, couldn't help laughing and shaking her head at her master's expression."

"Who would have thought that the carefree young man was actually a woman?"

"And she is even the Regent's Consort of Da Ning!"

"When she found out, even though she was usually composed, she couldn't suppress her inner shock, and her heart pounded violently."

"\"Master, some of it is pre‑deposited money that hasn't been used for services yet. \""

"\"Now some people are asking whether our face‑mask kits can be sold for takeout, since many elderly folks at home find it inconvenient to come for services. \""

"Shuying asked around, and seeing many customers inquire, she felt this could still generate revenue."

"Jiang Yunchu thought it over, but in the end shook her head: \"Not for now. \""

"Doesn't she want to make money? Doesn't she want to sell things?"

"It's mainly because the supply is insufficient!"

"Zhuang City's workshop has fully mobilized its staff—except for Lustrous Jade Soap and the face‑mask kits, there's no time for new products, and the workers are resting in shifts day and night, yet demand still outstrips supply."

"Yan City's workshop is five times the size of Zhuang City's; for convenience, Yan Lao Hu directly helped her buy a large tract of land, even several mountains."

"\"If supply is insufficient, offering takeout might leave not enough for the experience shops. \" Jiang Yunchu sighed."

"Shuying froze for a moment—she hadn't expected this problem."

"\"The staff at every shop are already at full capacity. \""

"There are simply too many people, so they've assigned a girl solely to handle reservations and customer registrations."

"Now the girls smile all day because serving one more person earns them extra pay; they have a base monthly wage, and each additional service nets them a commission."

"This fills all the girls with enthusiasm."

"\"Later the crowd will thin out—no rush. \""

"Jiang Yunchu shook her head; Rou Jia manages a main shop, while Shuying oversees all of Ning Jing."

"\"Dean, look at all these grapes—should we cut them down? \" Han Wen Jun felt reluctant; this patch of sand could be said to be his heart and soul."

"Jiang Yunchu looked; that sand plot had been tended well—no mistakes in fertilizer or pest control."

"\"We need to have a quick bite. \" The grapes now hang there, purple and crystal‑clear, extremely tempting."

Alright, be gentle.

Han Wen Jun smoothed his brows, putting on a reluctant expression, making everyone burst out laughing.

Qing Feng Da Ru, Master Ningguang, Master Kang Meng—this was the first time they came together with the children to see their agricultural results, and they hadn't expected to give them such a big surprise.
