The story is about a fake young lady, transmigration, a pampered darling, face-slapping, farming, building from scratch, and a satisfying read.
Su Wanwan woke up one day to find herself the f...
Uncle Jiang had lived in the town for several years before and was very experienced in selling things on the street. As soon as he put down his load, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Selling mosquito coils! Selling mosquito coils!"
Jiang Wanwan: "Lighting a mosquito coil ensures a good night's sleep. It's very effective at repelling mosquitoes, cheap and easy to use! With it lit, you'll never have to worry about mosquitoes bothering you at night again."
Upon hearing something new and interesting, especially something related to mosquitoes, pedestrians on the street couldn't help but stop and watch.
"Young lady, what kind of incense are you selling here?"
"Mosquito coils!" Uncle Jiang replied hastily.
"Mosquito coils? Fragrances made from those nasty and disgusting mosquitoes? Ugh, that's disgusting," a woman said with disdain.
Jiang Wanwan laughed and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. Mosquito coils aren't made with mosquito-based fragrances; they're specially formulated to kill mosquitoes. Once you light it, the mosquitoes will be suffocated!"
"Is it really that powerful?"
Upon hearing that it could repel mosquitoes, the pedestrians' eyes lit up.
Jiang Wanwan did not answer the question, but replied, "Everyone knows Baibaoxuan, Ruixiangju, and Wanhuofang in the county town, right?"
"Of course I know them. These shops are all top-notch in the county; even a three-year-old knows them. But what does that have to do with whether your mosquito coils are effective or not?"
Jiang Wanwan said with a smile, "These shop owners are all using our mosquito coils, and they even said they want to order in bulk from me. Tell me, aren't mosquito coils effective at repelling mosquitoes?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in excitement.
Wanhuofang is one thing, but Ruixiangju and Baibaoxuan are well-known names in the county. The fact that they use this damn mosquito coil means it's very effective at repelling mosquitoes. Otherwise, would those seasoned business savvy old foxes use this stuff?
"Young lady, how much are these mosquito coils?" a woman asked first.
“Regular mosquito coils are two coins a roll, or three coins for two rolls. These osmanthus-scented ones are three coins a roll, or five coins for two rolls,” Jiang Wanwan said.
"Hiss~~ Why is this mosquito coil so expensive? If I spend a few more coins, I can buy a mosquito repellent sachet. Those sachets have expensive spices and herbs in them, and they last a long time. What's in this mosquito coil? It might not even work."
Uncle Jiang pulled a bag out of the wooden bucket, opened it to reveal rolls of black mosquito coils inside. Pointing at the coils, he said anxiously, "Hey, these mosquito coils are expensive, but there's a reason for the price. They're incredibly effective at repelling mosquitoes; just break off a piece, light it, and you can sleep soundly all night."
"Smell this, doesn't it smell good? This one smells like osmanthus, so fragrant! Just a small amount will fill the whole room with its sweet osmanthus scent, it smells wonderful!"
The guests looked at the dark mosquito coil with suspicion, completely disbelieving that this black thing could be so powerful.
Across the street, a plump woman selling mosquito repellent sachets was craning her neck to look in their direction. When she saw what the mosquito coils looked like, she couldn't help but chuckle.
This ugly thing costs two or three coins a roll! Why don't they just rob people?
The customers aren't stupid; who would be the one to take the fall?
The plump woman hurriedly called out to passersby, "This ugly thing, can it really be so effective? Is it made of some kind of charcoal to scam people? Everyone come and take a look at my mosquito repellent sachets. They look good, smell nice, and most importantly, they can repel mosquitoes."
Today's sale is cheap! Eight coins each, or fifteen coins for two!
