Because Ning Huan was going to town to buy some New Year's goods, she also sorted out some medicinal herbs from her consciousness space, which she could take to Renjitang to sell.
The four little ones were overjoyed to hear that Ning Huan was going to town to buy New Year's goods. For the first time, they happily saw Ning Huan off.
"Mommy, can you buy me some more delicious food? Little Peach said that if I eat a lot of delicious food during the New Year, I will grow very tall next year."
Little Erbao tugged at Ning Huan's sleeve and said, "I want to grow very tall, so I can definitely become a great general and protect you and Daddy."
Ning Huan smiled and patted his little head, replying, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely buy you lots of delicious food when the time comes, okay?"
Several women on the street saw Ning Huan and were still talking about how she had saved Fan Juan yesterday. They all thought her medical skills were so amazing that they should try to get on her good side, so that if anything happened to their families in the future, it would be easier for them to ask for help.
"Jing'an's wife, what are you doing in town?"
An old woman asked, "Going to town so early to get busy?"
Ning Huan was taken aback at first, because no one in the village usually took the initiative to greet or chat with her. Today was unusual, but she didn't ignore the aunt.
Instead, she smiled and replied, "Auntie, I'm going to town to buy some New Year's goods for the family."
The old woman on the other side chimed in, "Oh dear, buying New Year's goods is great! Many families in our village have already started preparing for the New Year. Isn't today the Beginning of Winter? The Spring Festival will be here in just a few days."
Ning Huan then realized that it was already the beginning of winter. It felt like she had only been in this world for a short time, and the New Year was already almost here.
The old woman continued, "Logically speaking, we should make dumplings for the children at the beginning of winter, but I went to town a few days ago and found that meat is very expensive, it seems to have doubled in price."
"Jing'an's wife, are you also going to town to sell meat?"
Before Ning Huan could even reply to the question, the old woman who had greeted her earlier said, "Jing An's wife doesn't need to go to town to buy meat. Have you forgotten that she caught a big wild boar in the mountains a few days ago?"
The old woman exclaimed triumphantly, "Thanks to when Jing'an's wife offered to sell meat at a low price, I thought it was a good deal and bought several extra pounds to store in the cellar. Not to mention making dumplings for the New Year, we'll have enough meat for all the holidays from today until the Spring Festival!"
"Fortunately, I didn't have Wang Guihua's back then, so I went with Aunt Xiufen to buy meat."
Another old woman's face grew increasingly pale. She hadn't bought Ning Huan's cheap pork because she believed Wang Guihua's words, thinking she could give it away to the villagers for free.
Later, when he saw everyone else buying meat, he couldn't resist taking money to buy some too, but Ning Huan put the meat away and refused to sell it.
The old woman was initially stubborn, thinking that no matter how much cheaper it was, her family had some savings and they shouldn't be unable to afford even a piece of meat all year round.
It wasn't until she went to the butcher shop in town to buy meat that she realized just how outrageously expensive the meat was. She immediately regretted it deeply; if only she had bought Ning Huan's meat!
When I got home, my father scolded me for not being able to buy meat. He said I was wasteful when I was young and still didn't know how to save money when I was old.
The meat at Jing'an's wife's house was so fresh and cheap that everyone who bought it was overjoyed. But in the end, she didn't even bring back a single trace of meaty meat.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two old women was tense, Ning Huan quickly said with a smile, "Auntie, don't be angry. The Beginning of Winter is an auspicious day. It's not worth ruining our harmony."
However, if the village women wanted to quarrel, not only would Ning Huan have to put in some effort to stop them, but even the village chief would have to work hard to stop them.
With foresight, Ning Huan quickly withdrew from the scene where the two were already on the verge of conflict.
No sooner had she left than the two old women started arguing.
Fortunately, they knew they were on someone else's oxcart hill. If they made too much of a scene, what if the Zhu family wouldn't let them ride in the oxcart anymore?
Therefore, they did not go too far.
The oxcart arrived in town soon after, and Ning Huan quickly got off, afraid that if she stayed any longer, the two old women would start arguing again because of her.
Besides the usual herbs, Ning Huan also wanted to sell a homemade ointment at Renjitang this time.
Si Yan looked at the ointment in his hand: "You said this is called Jade Complexion Ointment?"
This Jade Complexion Cream is a medicated cream that Ning Huan made in the modern world. Although it is called a medicated cream, it is more like a cosmeceutical, because Jade Complexion Cream is equivalent to a face mask.
After applying it to the face for a period of time, not only does the skin become smoother, but with prolonged use, it can even make the skin tone very fair, and it also has the effect of removing acne and blemishes. Combined with the special juicy tree extract, the effect is doubled.
A few days ago, Ning Huan's face
Ning Huan nodded and replied, "That's right, this Jade Complexion Cream works very well. If Manager Si is still worried, he can try it himself."
Si Yan chuckled softly, then shook his head and said, "I won't try anymore. I already know from the changes in Ning Huan's wife."
When he first met Ning Huan, although he didn't dislike her appearance like most people, he still didn't dare to look directly at her face.
But after working with her, it seemed that Ning Huan's face would change every time they met, and later even her figure changed a lot.
He was initially very curious about how Ning Huan had managed it, but since he was working with Ning Huan personally, it didn't matter whether she was beautiful or ugly, fat or thin, so he never asked.
Ning Huan was taken aback by Si Yan's words, then laughed and said, "This Jade Complexion Cream is indeed very effective."
Si Yan nodded: "How much does Madam Ning Huan want to sell it for?"
Ning Huan originally thought she would have to explain a few more things to Si Yan before he might consider agreeing, but she didn't expect him to ask her how much she wanted to sell it for so readily.
Since she only suddenly remembered this matter, she didn't bring too many with her, and there were only a few bottles left in her consciousness space.
“I only have five cans left, each costing twenty coins. I’ll split the cost with Renjitang.”
Fortunately, the Jade Complexion Cream isn't difficult to make; she can gather medicinal herbs in the mountains to make it. If it sells well in the future, she won't be worried about not being able to continue making the cream.
But Si Yan asked, "Is this Jade Complexion Cream really sold for such a low price by Lady Ning Huan?"
Judging from Ning Huan's description, the beauty effect of this Jade Complexion Cream must be exceptional. If the ladies and wives of the town were to buy it, they would be willing to pay 20 coins or even 20 taels for a jar.
Ning Huan nodded: "It wasn't originally a particularly expensive ointment, and besides, I don't think this Jade Complexion Ointment is necessarily meant to be sold to the ladies and young ladies of wealthy families in town."
She sold it so cheaply because she had ulterior motives.
