Chapter 144

When others saw this, they immediately felt that they had missed out on something good and started asking questions one after another.

"Madam, do you have any more stock? You're not out of stock, are you?!"

Ruan Mian smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Shopkeeper Shanglin will have some for sale in a couple of days!"

"Madam, are you the supplier of Shopkeeper Lin?" Ruan Mian quickly replied, "I have a contract with Shopkeeper Lin. All the beauty products I develop will be sold in Shopkeeper Lin's shop."

"How about this, when you develop new items in the future, please send some to my house."

After saying that, he took out a token and handed it to Ruan Mian.

Ruan Mian smiled slightly and agreed happily.

After closing the stall, she met her aunt on the street.

As soon as she appeared, her aunt excitedly took her arm and said, "If I had known that you had met the princess, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to put on such a show!!"

"Aunt, this show isn't without effect. Everyone likes to watch the fun. Now everyone knows how good my ginseng mask is."

"That makes sense. Doing the opposite actually makes everyone remember this thing!"

"Oh, right, now that Princess Mantu has become one of your stable customers, you just need to focus on developing new products with guaranteed quality. The princess has a wide network of contacts, and if she uses good products, it won't be long before the whole city will be in fashion!"

After saying this, the aunt took her to another place.

As soon as he got there, he smelled a foul odor. Ruan Mian took a look and realized that it was a toilet.

"Aunt, do you need to go to the bathroom?"

"Nonono, these are the two toilets I bought."

Ruan Mian paused, and immediately looked around. Seeing her aunt's meaningful look, she vaguely guessed something.

"Aunt, are you planning to invest?"

"Mianmian, you're so smart! You deserve to be in business!"

"Look, although these are just two toilets, the location is excellent. Moreover, I've already bought them. I just need to fill them up and spend a little money to build two shops. Then I can rent them out to foreigners for a slightly cheaper rent and make a profit from the difference."

"I can make back my investment in less than two months! If I keep doing this, I'll make even more profit!"

A normal shop in this area would be very expensive, but she bought this toilet quite cheaply, but she didn't have the money to build a house.

"Mianmian, if you think it's feasible and you can cooperate with my aunt, do you have the money? Let's build a shop and split the profits 50-50. How about that? Otherwise, I'll give you a room and all the rent from then on will be yours!"

The thing Ruan Mian has the most is money.

He immediately handed all the silver in his purse to his aunt.

"That's all right. Since Aunt has made plans, these can be considered as loans from me to Aunt."

"How can that be possible?! We have hope only if we make money together. I can't possibly leave you alone! Mianmian, we agreed that together, we, aunt and nephew, will be invincible!"

"I think it's not a problem to be the richest man! What do you think?!"

My aunt is ready to go and is very ambitious!

She was fed up with the days of bowing to money. Now that she had the capital, was she still afraid of not being able to start the business?

Anyway, she is in Guancheng, the emperor is far away, and those bastards in the Jiang family can't do anything to her.

However, Ruan Mian thought of a problem: "Aunt, I am a Wu Heng fugitive, I have no household registration, and you are also a refugee, you should not be able to register. Now that this shop is built, what are you going to do..."

"My son, Ruan Jinxiu! Ruan Jinxiu is a legitimate citizen and a native of Guancheng. I was able to settle here because of my son's citizenship."

It turned out that she had already planned it out.

Since this was the case, Ruan Mian suddenly had another idea: "With this relationship, it would be no problem if I opened another shop."

"Of course! If you want, Auntie can help you find someone to manage the shop, but we have to find the stock ourselves. I see that you are good at making these beauty and health products. Why don't you open a rouge shop?"

Ruan Mian shook his head. "The Rouge Shop needs a lot of goods, and I don't have the energy to research and develop them, and I have limited manpower. I can make money by making something occasionally and selling it to Shopkeeper Lin."

"That gourmet food shop? A wine shop?"

She already had an idea: "A herbal medicine shop."

It is also the main business of the Ruan family. They have all the medicinal herbs that were collected from the Ruan Mansion, and they even planted a lot of new medicinal herbs through space!

In the past few days, she discovered that there were only two medical clinics and only one herbal medicine shop in Guancheng. Due to the remoteness of Guancheng and the poor terrain, many medicinal materials had to be transported from Dajing and Lanqiang.

But now Dajing and Lanqiang are at war and relations are tense, resulting in a reduction in the amount of medicinal materials that can be transported. At the same time, the few merchants have taken the opportunity to raise the prices of medicinal materials.

In this case, she has so many medicinal herbs in the space and doesn't need to worry about transportation and cargo issues. Isn't it just making money without doing anything?

She discussed her idea in detail with her aunt, and they hit it off. Her aunt immediately proposed to use the two shops built on the toilet as medicine shops and not rent them out to others.

Ruan Mian shook his head when he heard this and said, "Doesn't that mean we're missing out on some money? The rent for these two shops is quite a bit."

"A pharmacy doesn't have very high requirements for location. We just need to find a large shop with a relatively reasonable price and buy it."

"A big shop with reasonable prices?"

My aunt folded her arms across her chest and thought about it carefully.

She had a photographic memory, and after a quick thought, she thought of a place: "I know a shop that sells it. I'll take you there!"

The shop had been vacant for a long time and was located in the deepest part of the East Street Market.

Some people think it is too remote. Just outside the city wall, there is a former burial site across the wall. Although corpses are no longer buried there now, many people still feel superstitious about it.

So no matter how much the shop lowered its prices, no one was interested.

When they contacted the shop owner, he was surprised that they wanted to buy the shop.

After calming down for a while, he said pretentiously, "You can all see my shop. It's spacious and bright. The prices are much lower than those in the surrounding shops. You're definitely making a profit."

"One price, three hundred taels, and you can take it away."

The aunt's eyes suddenly lit up and she subconsciously glanced at Ruan Mian.

Just as she was about to agree, Ruan Mian pretended to be deep, stopped her aunt with his eyes, and looked at her carefully with his hands behind his back.

"Boss, I heard that there are unclean things outside the city wall next door."

The boss's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he immediately raised his voice: "What do you mean by unclean things? They are all spirits! Spirits that can bless your business to prosper!"

"I burn prayers for them every day and never slack off, so you can rest assured."

Seeing Ruan Mian didn't say anything, the boss' heart skipped a beat and he spoke again: "Two hundred and fifty taels! Just take it away. I don't want to waste time talking. I still have to go home and supervise my son's homework!"
