Chapter 133: Making a Big Profit
Ruan Yuntang knew the price of spices and knew that the price was not high at all, but she didn't say anything.
In this era, the price of musk is three to four times that of gold, and even as high as US$45,000 per kilogram in the international market.
Song Wei wasn't quite sure about the price either. Seeing Hu Xiaoling's excitement, he pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Eighty cents?"
"Why don't you just go and rob it!" Hu Xiaoling spat in his face.
Song Wei was so disgusted by the sticky saliva that he almost vomited. He raised his hand in anger but forced himself to hold it back. He forced a smile and said:
"Fifty cents is enough, right? It really can't be any less."
Hu Xiaoling was about to speak, but Ruan Yuntang held her back and nodded, "Okay, go ask how many there are."
“If the quality is not good, I don’t want it.”
Song Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, "Of course it's fine, of course it's fine, I'll call right away."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Hu Xiaoling looked at his anxious expression and said dissatisfiedly, "He must be trying to make more money. 50 cents a gram!"
"Normally one gram costs at least one dollar." Ruan Yuntang said with a smile behind her.
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoling was dumbfounded.
"Then what does he want?"
After asking, she quickly realized that there must be something fishy going on.
"It's okay, I have a way to handle it." Ruan Yuntang comforted with a smile.
She guessed the source of the musk.
Musk is mixed with bad ingredients, but her space has advanced separation filters, so there will be no problem after filtering out the musk.
And she can make a lot of money.
After returning to the yard and having dinner with Hu Xiaoling, Zhao Qiang came again.
Ruan Yuntang handed over the thermos that he had prepared in advance and quickly went into the yard regardless of Zhao Qiang's advice.
She still didn't know how to face Jiang Yubai, so she decided to deal with it coldly.
Zhao Qiang returned to the hospital and met Jiang Yu's dark and gloomy eyes, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law said she's been busy at the factory lately and can't get away."
No matter how stupid Jiang Yubai was, he knew that she was avoiding him.
He looked at his legs that were wrapped like a mummy and asked Zhao Qiang to call the attending doctor.
After repeated efforts, it still took another week to be discharged from the hospital.
"Captain, did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?" Zhao Qiang looked at the silent man with sympathy.
"How can you tell that we had a fight?" Jiang Yu's face turned dark.
Zhao Qiang didn't believe it at all, and said with the look of a veteran, "If it really doesn't work, you can just humble yourself and try to appease him."
She is now avoiding him like a mouse seeing a cat. How can he coax her?
And if he pushed too hard, she would probably hide further away.
Jiang Yubai was silent for a while, then instructed Zhao Qiang, "Go to the factory to see her for me tomorrow."
After saying that, he paused, and then added unnaturally, "We'll pass a hillside on the way. Go pick some beautiful flowers."
Zhao Qiang's face flushed with laughter as he responded loudly, "Okay, Captain!"
“…” Jiang Yubai.
…
Ruan Yuntang woke up early in the morning and saw a lot of people gathered outside the yard. They were all her sisters-in-law who had come to her to exchange incense and sachets that day.
"Sister Ruan, we're here today to discuss returning these things. Our children can't stand the smell, and it's a waste to keep them at home."
"Those fruits and vegetables we gave you before are just for you to eat. All you need is to return the money..."
After listening to this, Ruan Yuntang glanced at the sachets and incense in their hands, then looked at their embarrassed expressions and said lightly:
"Okay, as long as the items are not missing or damaged, I will return them."
In an instant, the tense mood of those people suddenly relaxed, and they kept thanking and praising her.
Ruan Yuntang was not too concerned about this.
Originally, those incense and sachets were given to them at a low price, and she didn't need the money, so she just regarded them as a personal favor.
She didn't mind if they wanted to quit, but she was just too lazy to do these thankless tasks from now on.
She went back to the house to get the bills and returned them one by one. Just as she was about to go back to the house, the sister-in-law in charge counted the bills and frowned and said:
"Sister Ruan, this isn't right. I gave you two dollars that day, so how come it's only sixty cents now?"
After counting the number, the others also asked questions.
"Mine isn't enough either, it's eight points short!"
"Mine is missing seventy cents!"
"Mine's missing a piece!"
Hearing this, Ruan Yuntang turned around and said expressionlessly:
"I just said that if the item is not broken, you can return it. If you are shortchanged, it must be because the item was used or broken."
As she spoke, she picked out two medicine bags from the pile of things in her hand, raised them up, and looked at her sister-in-law who had questioned her first.
"One sachet costs fifty cents, and both sachets are stained. I only deducted the money for the packaging of the sachets."
Hearing this, the sister-in-law widened her eyes in shock and roared:
"Why don't you just dust it off and wash it off? Why are you still deducting money from me?"
Her expression and tone made it seem as if Ruan Yuntang was a black-hearted businessman who had made a lot of money from her.
Ruan Yuntang sneered, "If you go to a state-owned store and buy something and bring it home, and you soil someone else's things, do you think you can get a full refund?"
"Besides, is this dust that can be cleaned by patting it clean? It's oil!"
The military wife felt a tightness in her chest and her face turned green.
How could a state-owned store allow people to return or exchange items, especially if they were dirty? That's simply impossible.
Even thinking about it, she still couldn't swallow her anger. "You compare the things you sell privately with those in state-owned stores?"
"Their products are guaranteed, do yours?"
"I hung up your sachet last night, but my child still got bitten several times. It was completely useless. I'm lucky I didn't ask you to pay me for it!"
Ruan Yuntang was truly clairvoyant. He rushed forward angrily and shouted even louder than her, "Am I the one who wants to sell sachets?"
"Didn't you beg me to change it yesterday? You didn't have enough money and even offered vegetables as payment. I see we're from the same courtyard, so I'm doing you a favor at a loss."
"So now you're blaming me? You're right because you have a loud voice? You're right because you're fat?" You're right because you have a darker complexion?
Her voice became louder and louder. The soldier's wife, facing the gazes of everyone falling on her face and body, lost all her dignity and stumbled back, her lips trembling with anger.
“You, you, you…”
"You think you're right just because you stutter?" Ruan Yuntang took a step forward, his voice deafening.
The military wife was so angry that her face turned pale. Feeling the gazes of people watching her laugh, she angrily said:
"I don't want it anymore, you uneducated little girl!"
After saying this, she lifted up her wide trouser legs and walked away with a dark face.
From the back, the dark and fat appearance is more concrete.
After this, the remaining people didn't dare to say anything anymore. They knew clearly whether the things they returned were useful or not, and whether they were missing or not.
However, they were still dissatisfied with Ruan Yuntang's deduction of their money. As they walked, a group of people said sarcastically:
"Look, we share the same last name, but Comrade Ruan Moli is so generous! Not only did she pay off the weapons department's debt all by herself, she even gave us free mosquito repellent perfume before we left!"
"Yeah, that mosquito repellent perfume is really effective. No mosquitoes dare to get close to me once I spray it. I spray it at the mosquitoes and they'll be stunned in no time!"
