Yunling thought that since the madam trusted her and gave her the money in advance, she should also settle this important money in advance. Firstly, the amount was large, and just talking about it would make people feel uneasy. Secondly, if she could see the money, she would be more motivated.

"Grandma, Auntie, I'll pay for these 1,014 pairs of briefs first, which is close to 69 strings of cash. So we'll just give you 69 strings of cash. But please note that six of them are large size and you should embroider some simple patterns on them, nothing too complicated."

Old Lady Fan and her eldest daughter-in-law nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and with trembling hands opened the bag. When they saw the bag full of copper coins, they couldn't help but stagger and had to hold onto the edge of the table to steady themselves.

Where had they ever seen so many copper coins?

Never!

When Zhang saw their appearance, she recalled the scene when Yunling returned and handed her the money. At that time, she was so frightened that her hands trembled and her legs went weak, and she didn't know what to do. She still missed it.

"Grandma, Auntie, this is just the beginning. You will also be accepting paper money in the future."

Old Lady Fan and his wife hurriedly covered their chests, saying, "This is something we can't talk about, we can't talk about it!"

Bingniang had already finished embroidering the rabbit head while they were talking, but then she suddenly seemed to be thinking about something and looked up at Yunling.

"Ling-jie, does that mean you'll have to go to Qingcheng again?"

“Auntie is right, but I’ve already asked Father to find out how to get beef tendon. I think it can help me out before I get back.”

"Chunniang is so lucky."

"That's right, Ling'er is sensible and can earn money. I don't know how she was born, but she gave birth to such a well-behaved child."

Zhang couldn't stand being praised to her face, so she stammered and only managed to escape a disaster thanks to Yunling urging them to hurry up with their embroidery.

Bingniang's embroidery skills were undoubtedly superb; the little rabbits and nine-tailed foxes she embroidered were so lifelike that they seemed to come alive with the slightest tug. Yunling couldn't help but give Bingniang a thumbs up. But what surprised her was that Old Lady Fan and Fan's eldest daughter-in-law's embroidery was also quite good.

The embroidery of the characters was neat and the embroidery of the flowers were rich and beautiful, which was exactly the effect she wanted. She successfully obtained all six pairs of panties before dark.

When Yun Shenghua returned home, he also told Yun Ling some good news: he had found out that the vendor selling beef tendons would appear at the market tomorrow, and he should be able to run into him if he went early in the morning.

Yun Ling was delighted, but Yun Shenghua's next words pleased her even more.

“Ling’er, the gift boxes you sent out before, those people all said they were good after using them, and they all handed over these papers to the merchant, saying they wanted to place more orders or something. Take a look.”

Yunling excitedly took the stack of papers from Yun Shenghua's hand, but paused before opening them. "Father, won't this affect your work? What if Uncle Fu thinks you're neglecting your official duties?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Some of them are our long-time customers, and others might remember our business after a couple of visits and come to us for help in the future."

"Is that what Uncle Fu thinks too?"

"Of course, otherwise would your father say such a thing?"

Yunling was relieved, but this was not a long-term solution. She had to think of other ways to get orders.

Yun Ruoxia was already impatient, but Yun Ling was standing there blankly, seemingly lost in thought. She wanted to take the item and look at it, but was afraid she wouldn't understand it, so she kept poking Yun Ling.

"Ling-jie, quickly take a look at what's written on that stack of papers?"

Yunling suddenly realized and quickly opened the papers. One paper listed two gift boxes, each containing fifty cotton pads. The other paper listed ten medium-sized briefs, five large-sized briefs, five menstrual pads of various styles, and twenty cotton pads each.

Below these two sheets of paper were several price lists that originally came with the gift box. The positions of the panties, menstrual pads, and cotton pads were all checked off, and the desired quantity was written next to each checkmark.

Yunling's mind suddenly lit up. Why not adopt this ordering method? Set up the price list on a small piece of paper, add a section for name, address and contact information, and then open a website exclusively for the Yun family shop at the matchmaking corner. Wouldn't that be much more convenient?

Yunling became more and more excited as she thought about it. If she didn't have to rush to Qingcheng, she would have loved to get the internet set up tomorrow. However, she had a lot to do tomorrow, so she would have to do it another time.

Yunling carefully unfolded the papers one by one, and wrote down what she needed on another sheet. She was surprised to find that the amount of cotton pads she needed could reach over a thousand pieces.

"Ling-jie, won't we be bringing back a lot of cotton this time?"

“It should weigh several dozen kilograms,” Yunling turned to Zhang Shi and Grandma Yun, “Mother, Grandmother, could you please prepare the wood ash water when you have some free time? That way, I can wash the cotton directly when I get back, saving some effort.”

Zhang Shi and Yun Laoniang readily agreed to Yunling's request, which put Yunling at ease.

The next morning, Yunling took six different styles of panties to the brothel. The madam was very pleased with her speed. She picked up the panties and liked the embroidered designs. She kept all six and planned to send out invitations in a couple of days so that people could "try them out".

"Young lady, when will the rest be delivered?"

“Mom is really in a hurry. We’re already rushing. I just wanted to tell you that my aunt will be in charge of the handover for the next two or three months.”

"What? Where are you going?"

Yunling smiled and said, "Thanks to Mom, we've received quite a few orders since we got back from here, but we're short on raw materials, so I have to go on a long trip to buy some."

"Hey, we have to make this clear beforehand. I'm placing the order and paying in copper coins first. If you skip me and give it to someone else first, I'll skin you alive."

“That’s for sure,” Yunling put a piece of jade jelly into the madam’s bowl. “Mom, eat up, it’s delicious.”

The madam was both amused and exasperated. This person had given her her food and even coaxed her, saying it was delicious. She was the first person like this to do something so shameless.

Despite the heavy meal, Yunling and Yun Ruoxia ate their fill of snacks before heading to the escort agency. Unfortunately, Chen Jie had been sent north by the Lu family's business after the New Year and wouldn't be back anytime soon.

The escort agency currently has only four or five people left: one is lame, one is blind, and two of them were just recruited.

Yunling felt a little ashamed. Although she was not afraid, Zhang would definitely come to the escort agency to see her off. If she couldn't see Chen Jie and learned about the situation of these people, she would be very unlikely to let her go.

Is anyone still here?

"When did my great-aunt's eyesight become so bad that she can't even see me anymore?"
