Ning Huan paused for a moment and then said, "The New Year is just around the corner, and many women from villages or towns will be going to the market to buy things. This Jade Complexion Cream is sold to them."
Si Yan frowned slightly: "Although I understand what you mean, Madam Ning Huan, I don't mean to look down on those women. It's just that they are different from the ladies and young ladies of wealthy families in town. They work all year round and their families may not be so rich that they have the time or inclination to buy this Jade Complexion Cream."
Ning Huan understood Si Yan's meaning; what he said was indeed correct, neither belittling nor looking down on her. Take Wushan Village for example, some of the women in the village even had trouble getting enough to eat, so where would they get the money to buy jade cream?
But besides them, there were some other women who had some extra money at home.
The cheapest rouge and face powder in town costs several taels, which is expensive for them, while the jade cream only costs twenty coins, which is not particularly expensive for them. Although they are rural women, they should also have the right to become beautiful.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, how happy I would be to apply some Yu Rong Cream to make myself look more beautiful when visiting relatives and friends!
After hearing Ning Huan's idea, Si Yan actually felt that he had been persuaded by her.
But he still had his own concerns: "Madam Ning Huan, if this Jade Face Cream is sold to the women in the countryside at such a low price, the ladies in town will not buy it."
Buying the same things as the village women would lower their status, so if the women bought the Jade Complexion Cream, they wouldn't buy it even if it was the best product.
Ning Huan nodded and said, "I understand, but I really intend to sell this Jade Complexion Cream to the women in the town. If the ladies in the town don't want to buy it, that's fine too."
Ning Huan sells her Jade Complexion Cream at a low price, allowing rural women to buy such an inexpensive skin-beautifying cream. Her aim is to achieve high sales volume with low profit margins.
Si Yan didn't say anything else. Seeing that Ning Huan had her own ideas, he nodded in agreement.
These five jars of Jade Complexion Cream wouldn't be a problem to have in his shop, and Ning Huan's words did indeed make a lot of sense.
After Ning Huan sold a batch of herbs and left Renjitang, she thought about buying some treats for the four little ones, and then going to the clothing store to buy them winter clothes.
She had looked at the four little ones' clothes before, and there were none, not even a slightly thicker one, let alone cotton-padded jackets.
As the weather turned cold, the four little ones would sometimes huddle together and shiver from the cold.
She came to town this time to do a big shopping spree, buying a lot of food, clothes, and other necessities. Zhu said that if the heavy snow blocks the roads, the villagers won't be able to leave for a while.
Better safe than sorry, Ning Huan decided to buy everything today, since she had her consciousness space to store it.
Ning Huan had just put the pastries she bought into her consciousness space when she saw a group of people gathered in front of her, seemingly talking about something. The noisy sounds attracted Ning Huan's attention.
She walked over and saw a slender, beautiful woman weeping with her face covered, while a man stood in front of her with a wicked grin.
Ning Huan frowned slightly, feeling that the man looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
It wasn't until a servant called him that Ning Huan recognized him as the owner of Hongyang Restaurant, whom she had previously reprimanded in town.
Guo Hongyang was in high spirits today and was on his way to have a drink with his friends when he unexpectedly encountered a pretty young woman on the street. He immediately had a wicked thought and wanted to harass her.
"Young lady, whose daughter are you? I think the weather is nice today, and I'd like to get to know you."
"Don't be so shy, come here and let me see you!"
"Have you eaten, young lady? How about I take you to a restaurant for some delicious food and fine wine?"
He pressed closer and closer, cornering the woman and silencing her.
Passersby recognized him as the second young master of the Guo family, but dared not step forward to help. They could only stand by and point and whisper among themselves.
Ning Huan walked straight forward, clenched her fist, and punched Guo Hongyang hard.
"Who! Who dares to hit me!"
The punch left him reeling, seeing stars even in broad daylight. Guo Hongyang was furious, only to discover that the person who hit him was the village woman who had vandalized his restaurant that day.
"Who do we have here? It's you, you wretched woman! I haven't even had a chance to settle the score with you for making such a mess of my restaurant last time, and now you've actually delivered yourself to our doorstep!"
Then he waved his hand, beckoning the servants around him: "Guys, give this wretched woman a good talking to today, let her know that I, Guo Hongyang, am not someone to be trifled with!"
The woman beside Ning Huan tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Madam, don't worry about me. They'll treat you badly. This man is the second young master of the Guo family; we can't afford to offend him..."
Ning Huan comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, girl. With me here today, they won't be able to bully you."
Ning Huan had been worried about not having a place to see the results of her training, and today Guo Hongyang gave her just the right opportunity.
A servant rushed towards her first, but Ning Huan swiftly kicked him aside. Another servant took the opportunity to rush at her from behind, but Ning Huan turned around to dodge his attack, then grabbed him by the body, lifted him up, and threw him over.
Seeing Ning Huan's incredible skills, the men all retreated in fear. Then, someone shouted, "Brothers, grab your weapons!"
Immediately, several men pulled out sticks from their bodies. Several grown men actually used weapons to deal with a woman like Ning Huan, which drew criticism from the onlookers.
But none of them dared to step forward. Even a blind man could see that Guo Hongyang was serious. Anyone who dared to step forward would be injured or killed, and there would be no one to reason with.
But Ning Huan was still not afraid. She had fought with Guo Hongyang's men before and knew that they were just a bunch of punching bags, with no real ability but just a lot of people.
Just as Ning Huan had easily dealt with the group and was about to walk towards Guo Hongyang, he screamed in fright, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
"You can't touch me, you can't come any closer, do you know who I am!"
Ning Huan sneered: "I don't care who you are, it's unacceptable for you to harass women in the street and bully them!"
As she spoke, she raised her fist, but the voice of a yamen runner came from afar.
"Stop!"
"Stop it, all of you!"
Then they surrounded Ning Huan and Guo Hongyang: "You're both coming with us for a street brawl!"
Someone recognized Guo Hongyang and immediately whispered, "Young Master Guo, are you alright?"
