When Miao Wan was a child in her previous life, she always heard the song "Camel Bells" being played on the village loudspeaker. She had always been looking forward to seeing a camel and hearing the sound of camel bells. After all, she heard that there were people raising camels in her hometown.
But until she traveled through time, she had never seen camel bells, only heard them on TV.
The camels and horses sent to the military camp naturally cannot be displayed so ostentatiously, but they can be used by the teams traveling between the county town and Xining Town.
Miao Wan asked Yang Ada to tie two hundred camel bells to the camels without hesitation. When the camels walked, the sound of the camel bells could be heard from far away.
The centurion, who was learning to drive camels and horses at first, was a little skeptical. "If the bells attract the attention of the bandits, it won't be good if they attract them."
Doing business is not like fighting a war. If someone gets hurt or one or two dies, the business will almost be ruined.
Miao Wan doesn't think so.
She counted on her fingers, "You eat well, dress well, have better weapons than the bandits, and your kung fu is not worse than theirs, right?"
Once the bandits became famous, all the bandits fled when they heard the camel bells. When others heard the camel bells, they would think of Xining Town Commercial Street. This was also a reputation effect.
The centurion hesitated. That being said, what if they were outnumbered?
It was easy for Qiao Ruichen to mobilize the troops and horses of the two camps. In fact, it was because the Cavalry Captain and General Ningyuan had seen Qiao Ruichen holding the seal of the saint and gave him face.
As a sixth-rank officer, the garrison commander must not mobilize more than one-tenth of the local garrison, which is about 500 people.
At its peak, more than 600 people came to Xining Town. If Qiao Ruichen had not been temporarily holding the position of General Yunhui, someone in the county town would definitely have diligently sent a memorial back to the capital to impeach him.
However, the county town turned a blind eye to what was happening in Xining Town, so the number of people going to the county town must not be too large.
Therefore, the West Camp and the North Camp only sent a team of 100 people to be stationed in the town. One hundred people were responsible for guarding Xining Town to prevent the Xiban people from attacking again, and there were only one hundred people going out for work.
Miao Wan divided the group into two shifts, staggering the trips between the county town and Xining Town, just enough to transport more people and goods.
The centurion's men were not fully staffed. Dozens of people had to protect hundreds of people going back and forth, maintain order and guard the goods. Even if dozens of bandits rushed out, there was no way to guarantee that no one would be injured.
The disadvantage of camels and horses is that they cannot run fast, but most bandits have good horses, and they can be very powerful when they charge.
Miao Wan opened the cloth sacks on the camels and horses, and found pockets inside that were the size of a child's palm. Each pocket contained a bottle of chili water, and each camel had ten bottles.
"If anyone dares to come close, just pull out the cork from this thing and throw it at their face. While they're wailing, you rush up and slit their throat. Is that okay?" Miao Wan poured some pepper water on the centurion's hand.
The centurion instantly felt a burning sensation on his hands. He had fought for this good job, and the back of his hand was a little blue, but the skin was not broken. But now it felt like it was burned by fire, and it hurt much more than when he was beaten.
He quickly put his hands in the water to wash, but it didn't help. He took the soap and rubbed it over and over again with a grimace. The burning sensation finally subsided a little.
Seeing this, the others gathered around with their eyes shining, asking in unison, "What a great thing! If we could use it when patrolling the border, wouldn't we still have to fear those Western Turks?"
"It's a test of our accuracy. We should practice throwing more stones later."
The centurion no longer refused. When he led the people of the county town to Xining Town, he wished he could meet some ignorant people on the road so that he could test the power of the pepper water.
It's a pity that the journey was extremely smooth. The sound of camel bells was very novel to those who had never heard of such a noise. Many people were afraid of falling, so they just put their goods on the camels and horses and followed them.
When it was cold, the escorting soldiers would take brown hairless cloaks from camels and horses and give them to them to wear. The clothes were warm and windproof, and many people loved them.
From a distance, someone heard the sound of camel bells. The soldiers at the north gate were shocked and immediately rushed into the town, shouting through a loudspeaker:
"Guests have arrived!"
There were soldiers in three places: the stove shed, next to the big rock in the commercial street, and at the Jufu Inn. Each of them was holding a loudspeaker to spread the message, and soon the whole town became lively.
At the same time, the lively birthday party of Wuliangha was almost over.
Originally, there should have been some singing by actors after the banquet, but unfortunately many of the guests who came with their wives were hinted to leave as soon as possible, so they had no interest in listening to the music and soon said goodbye.
In the end, there were only a few people left. Seeing this, they felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they drank a few cups of tea, exchanged a few words with the two Wulingha brothers, and left early.
Agula and Bayin both looked unhappy. Although it was not a big birthday, it was still a full birthday. The Wulingha clan was considered a big family in northern Mongolia. They also had contacts with the royal family and had a friendly alliance. They had always had a lot of influence in the county town. This was the first time they were treated so coldly.
The two were also a little puzzled, knowing that something must have happened, so they immediately sent someone to go out and investigate. When they went to the study, they happened to see Su Rina, whose face looked even uglier.
"Madam, don't be angry yet. I'm afraid something big has happened in the county city. I have asked people to investigate." Agula knew that Su Rina must have angered the ladies in the back house. His wife was spoiled since she was a child and actually had a bad temper.
Su Rina's face became darker and darker. "No need to check, I know what's going on."
Huh? Both brothers looked at Su Rina.
"Qiao Ruichen's wife opened a shop called Jufu Supermarket in the county town. They've been performing lion dances and obscene songs since early morning, attracting most of the county town's residents to the front of the shop. They sell all kinds of valuable goods, all at half price."
Agula was a little surprised, but Bayin felt as if his boots had fallen off as expected.
He had never really agreed with his brother's method. When he had previously agreed with a few merchants to smuggle the roast duck and loom recipes, he saw Miao Wan smiling so calmly, and he felt that the other party would never let it go so easily.
However, Agula didn't believe that a young lady would dare to turn against Beimeng. He also wanted to let Qiyan know that the two families had a disagreement so that Wuliangha would give up the idea of letting Qiao find out the military situation of Dayue, and he stubbornly gave up this lucrative business.
"What precious goods?" Agula was surprised but calmed down. "If it's really too precious, ordinary people can't afford it at half the price. No matter how much money the Qiao family spends, it won't last long. We can just watch from the sidelines."
Nowadays, most of the business of the Wuliangha family, including the most profitable Wu family rouge shop, has ordinary people as its customers. The powerful and wealthy only buy and sell gold threads at most.
The method of making aromatic oils came from the Western Regions. How much could Dayue learn from it?
Su Rina laughed angrily, "Just watch? Do you know what they're selling? It's sugar and essential oils. They don't even make Golden Dew anymore, they just sell Hundred Flowers Essential Oil and sell it like they're giving it away. And most importantly, they're selling roast duck, jar meat, and Boxia offerings. They're just selling them as free gifts. Why should we just watch?"
Before Agula could say anything, several shop managers came over, all with unhappy expressions.
"Master, a few days ago, we used the name of our boss to say we were buying two roast ducks and getting one free. We had already paid a lot of deposits, ordering over 120 roast ducks, but today only a dozen came to pick them up. The rest didn't want any."
"Master, it's the same here. We've made all the meat in jars today, but apart from a few regular customers who requested it, we haven't sold any of the rest."
"Master, it's the same thing at the rouge shop..." The owner of the Wu family rouge shop was almost crying. "We had a lot of customers, but then someone shouted that the Golden Dew at Qianjinlou was only one tael of silver, and with the purchase of a free roast duck and rouge and powder, they all rushed out."
"Boss, let's clear the clouds and offer the offerings..."
When the weather got cold, Bayin probably knew how to make Boxia Gong, so he just asked people to make soup with beef and mutton bones, add cornus officinalis and Sichuan peppercorns, and asked the chef to make something similar.
The food tasted quite fresh to the people in the county town who had never tasted it before, and they made a lot of money in a month.
Agula pinched his forehead. He really underestimated the Qiao family.
"I'll go take a look."
Su Rina also suppressed her anger, "I'll go with you, I have some accounts to settle with Madam Qiao!"
"What account?" Agula actually didn't want to confront the Qiao family. He just wanted to find a way to solve the problem secretly.
Su Rina choked a little, "Go ahead and talk about it after you're gone."
She exchanged wolfberry and ground egg for the shower gel recipe with Miao Wan, but did not tell the two brothers.
It was only after she got the recipe that she realized that she had to buy that baking soda from Miao Wan.
Otherwise, the shower gel recipe is useless.
However, the two families were at odds, and she didn't exchange her identity for the recipe, so she had no choice but to accept it and let Ke Rimu open a shop and buy baking soda from Xining Town.
Who knows what kind of trial run Miao Wan will come up with? Baking soda is in limited supply and not available for takeout at all.
Wouldn't that mean she wasted so much manpower and resources, and let Miao Wan get away with it?
The Qiao family did this again today, she had to teach Miao Wan a lesson.
The couple hurried to the supermarket with a team of guards and servants, and Bayin followed.
The couple felt that the route was familiar as they walked. When they arrived at the place, they saw that the shop was given by their family. In other words, the Qiao family used the shop given by Wuliangha to rob Wuliangha of their wealth.
Su Rina was so angry that her head was dizzy. "Go, smash that stand for me! Taking other people's business items and giving them away for free is breaking the rules. Get rid of everyone!"
Agula frowned and wanted to stop them, but the guards under Su Rina did not listen to him. They were used to acting in a domineering and ostentatious manner, and they rushed towards the stage with sticks in their hands like a tiger descending from the mountain... but were stopped halfway through.
Soldiers who were not so seriously injured had already been arranged to serve as guards. The rural stage is not afraid of trouble, but when there are too many people, we can't just let it happen. If there is a stampede or something, Miao Wan's business will be over.
So even though no one noticed, she arranged more guards outside than inside the shop, and the guards she was going to arrange to go to the factory were moved over first, there were more than twenty of them.
They are all iron-blooded men who have fought against the Western bandits with real swords and guns. They are not afraid of the guards around Su Rina, the mixed-blood princess.
Those Northern Mongolian men looked tall and strong, but they were not even as strong as Hando, who had been exercising all year round, let alone these soldiers who had killed bandits. One by one, they were kicked back in front of Su Rina, scaring her so much that she took several steps back.
Miao Wan saw some noise coming from behind, and from her vantage point she also saw the hustle and bustle here. She smiled, and it seemed that the birthday party ended quite early.
The voice, which had been exhausted by shouting, became clear again. "Uncles and aunts, gentlemen and ladies, are you all particularly curious? Isn't this roast duck, crystal agate meat, and Boxia offering the new signature of the largest shops in the county town? Why is it free here?"
Agula's eyes went dark, and he took a step forward and shouted, "Shut up!"
But his voice was drowned out by the loud and uniform voices of children, "Curiosity~~~"
"Because these are my family's secret recipes, they were so popular at the original Jufu Restaurant in Xining Town that they wowed diners from all over the country. It's inevitable that some people will come up with imitations. Boss Qiao isn't afraid of imitations, so of course I'm inviting everyone to try them for free so everyone can know the difference between the real thing and the fake."
"It makes me angry just talking about it. It's okay if you counterfeit it, after all, it's food, and it won't be wasted if it enters the land of reincarnation of grains. But you sell this fake product for much more than my original one, which makes me angry. It also ruins the reputation of my original product, and you earn all the money. Do you think this is reasonable?" As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks. Her pretty little face was so angry that the children couldn't help laughing, and the adults also had smiles on their faces.
Everyone gave me face and shouted——
"No!"
"That's right, I said the roast duck was too expensive!"
"Boss Xiao Qiao is still so generous!"
"Send some more, and we'll all try it for you!"
Bayin was stunned. "No, aside from anything else, this little girl gave me the roast duck recipe herself. It's exactly the same recipe as hers, and it's still three taels of silver per duck. How can it be a fake?"
Agula calmed down, pulled Su Rina who was about to rush forward, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course I do--" Bayin said, and his expression suddenly became very interesting.
Even if he has it, he can't show it to others. It's okay if it's a counterfeit. People are like this. If they see something that can make money, they will rush to make it and try to imitate it with their own skills. At most, the person being imitated will curse them a few times.
But if people knew that Wuliangha signed the contract but took advantage of loopholes and did not want to abide by it, and even took over the recipe to sell it, then no matter how authentic the roast duck was, no one with a bit of integrity would buy it.
From then on, Wuliangha could no longer do business with others, for fear of encountering such a situation.
This is damn, it's an open conspiracy. Bayin stared at Miao Wan's smug look, cursing at her but unable to justify himself.
"Wait, Su Rina, you go talk to them later and ask them what they want." Agula glanced at Su Rina, who was extremely angry and did not seem guilty at all.
"You haven't had any major conflicts with them. I guess you still have some private interactions?"
Su Rina tilted her head a little uncomfortably, "I guess so. I went through the Western Regions merchants and exchanged a recipe with her."
Agula knew where the White Jade Dragon Cream came from and nodded. "That's easier. We'll trick her once, and she'll trick us once, and we'll be even. This is something we did that wasn't fair. Ask her what she really wants. Given the relationship between Beimeng and Dayue, she probably doesn't want to be torn apart."
Su Rina thought about it and said, "Okay, you guys go back first."
Seeing that Su Rina was waiting for her with her arms folded, Miao Wan was not in a hurry. She fed fried chicken to the children who were giving her face in front of the stage, and then encouraged people to go on stage.
"As long as you can recite two of the opening giveaway rules I just mentioned without repeating them, you can get a serving of fried chicken.
Once we've finished, our salesperson will remind everyone, and we'll repeat this process until we close the shop. What do you think?"
When they heard that the meat was going to be fattened, both adults and children became excited and kept clapping and cheering.
The wooden speaker in Miao Wan's hand can amplify people's voices, and many people are particularly interested in it. They are happy to stand on the platform to try it out, not to mention that there is meat to eat.
As soon as Miao Wan left the stage, someone rushed to go up immediately. Yun Xi led people to maintain order, and there was a constant stream of people on the stage shouting loudly about the big show that Miao Wan had mentioned.
Yunxi once again looked at his boss with admiration. The shop had only been open for one day and the stage was set up. If someone kept shouting on it, they would not be able to make it to closing time even if their voices became hoarse.
But the boss just has a way to ask the common people to come on stage themselves and use more colloquial content to attract people into the shop.
They are not afraid that they will say something wrong, because if they say something wrong, they will not have any meat to eat. They will definitely follow the correct rules. If they say something wrong, someone below will find out and not let that person get the meat.
They can do this until closing time, without having to worry about people rushing over not knowing what the supermarket’s grand opening promotion means, and they don’t have to get too tired.
Yunxi sighed in her heart, no wonder the boss always ordered everyone around. He really wanted to give everyone a chance, not because she was lazy. From now on, she must be the first to be ordered around by the boss.
Miao Shiren didn't realize that his arrogance had suddenly increased, and he had subdued another useless person into the house. She went upstairs from the back door and drank two large cups of hot drinks.
"I'm so thirsty. Next time you go up, remember to bring a teapot. By the end of the conversation, my mouth was so dry that I couldn't open it."
Ruan Jialin: “…” Holding a teapot in one hand and a trumpet in the other, the image becomes more and more weird the more you think about it.
However, he was not waiting on the second floor all the time. He came over to talk to Miao Wan after seeing her get off the stage.
"Hundred Flower Essential Oil is sold out."
Miao Wan's eyes widened. "Didn't I bring a thousand bottles? And all of them are sold out already?"
She originally planned to sell it for three days, one type per day.
After the three-day promotion, all three types will be put on the shelves. In the first half of the month, people will participate in activities to attract traffic to Xining Town. In the second half of the month, another big stage will be opened for new activities. We will strive to get many people to collect all ten types by the twelfth lunar month.
Even if the Wuliangha family can no longer carry on with their business, they can still go back to northern Mongolia to celebrate the New Year without any worries.
She estimated that the sales would be quick as they were half-sold and half-given away, but it was impossible that they would be sold out in less than two hours after opening.
Ruan Jialin was a bit gloating when he heard this. "Several noble ladies came here personally with their people, and some families sent their maids to take care of things. They bought dozens or even hundreds of bottles. Some people still haven't grabbed one yet. They asked about the opening time tomorrow and are eagerly waiting to line up to grab one."
Taotao didn't understand, so she bit her finger out of boredom. Qiao Rui was so shocked that she unconsciously followed her niece's example, biting her fingernail and sighing, "Isn't it said that Wu's Rouge has those gold threads? It looks similar to Golden Dew to me, and even better than Hundred Flowers Essential Oil. Why are these women so enthusiastic?"
Although Qiao Rui was not yet eight years old, as a young lady she had some understanding of women's affairs. If she didn't understand, Qiao Ruichen and Ruan Jialin would understand even less.
However, Miao Wan quickly figured out the key and burst into laughter.
"Have you forgotten what's inside the goods produced by Qianjinlou?"
Qiao Rui suddenly realized, "It's the Qianjinlou brand! But, we're not called Qianjinlou anymore."
"Anyone with a bit of connections knows that Qianjinlou and Jufu Restaurant share the same owner. The Wu family's rouge shop used to get their goods from Qianjinlou. Since they bought authentic goods, they didn't care where the goods were from. Who told the Wuliangha family to cut off their own financial resources?"
Miao Wan shook her head proudly. People are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat. The brand effect is useful in any era, especially when the genuine product is better than the imitation.
Even if the quality of Baiyulong Cream is exactly the same as that of Qianjinlou, or even better, Wuliangha does not have the recipe for other things, and it is difficult for imitations to compare with her secret recipe that has been refined through thousands of trials.
Most prescriptions are not as effective as the original ones, so wouldn’t others think they are using imitation products?
It doesn’t matter to ordinary people. They are willing to use it if it has similar effects and is cheaper.
But the essential oil can be made in the Western Regions, and the White Jade Dragon Cream is a recipe given by Miao Wan, so the Wu Rouge Shop will definitely not lower the price of these two products.
In the eyes of those rich people, they can afford anything no matter how expensive it is, but they can’t afford fakes. So who are they looking down on?
Don’t we deserve to use genuine products?
Not to mention that you sell it at a damn high price, and your stuff is not as good as Qianjinlou's. Our money doesn't come from the wind, so we have no choice but to use it. If we had a choice, who would care about you?
Wuliangha and even Surina probably couldn't understand how particular these ladies in the harem were about quality and brand.
And what about the wealthy ladies in the harem? They were used to these things and it was impossible for them to stop using them. In Wuliangha's opinion, they bought them even though they had pinched their noses.
As a result, as soon as the Jufu supermarket opened, people found out that this was a product of Qianjinlou, and that the Baihua essential oil also contained the same anti-counterfeiting cloth strip as Qianjinlou, confirming that it was authentic. Whether it was revenge consumption or stockpiling, people would definitely buy it in large quantities.
"I didn't bring my rouge and powder to the county town because I thought of this," Miao Wan said with a smile. "I was originally thinking of using General Yun Hui's wife to send invitations to the backyards of prominent families in the county town to organize a flower viewing party, but I didn't expect them to be even more enthusiastic than I thought."
Ruan Jialin didn't understand. "They're buying so much today, why don't we sell the other Hundred Flowers series products here too? I heard those stores have passed their soft opening and can start business today?"
Miao Wan smiled, "I can see you've never gone shopping with your second cousin's wife. Do you think a woman only buys what she needs when she goes shopping?"
The most important thing is to develop Xining Commercial Street. The county town is not the main base.
Qiao Ruichen and Ruan Jialin: What else???
"I will go back to Xining Town the day after tomorrow. When I'm done with my work, you can go shopping with me and you'll know." She couldn't explain to the two of them how crazy women can be when they go shopping. Seeing is believing.
Qiao Rui's eyes lit up, "I want to go too!"
Taotao also clapped his chubby hands: "Taotao too!"
Qiao Ruichen and Ruan Jialin looked at the three ladies, one big and two small, and felt a shudder in their hearts for some reason. They felt that something extraordinary had been released, but they couldn't quite figure out what it was.
Back to downstairs.
Su Rina saw many noble ladies who had left her home hurried over, as well as familiar maids, each of whom left with something. Her face was full of joy, but her heart was getting heavier and heavier.
She pinched her nose and told someone to report in a gentle voice, then went upstairs through the back door to see Miao Wan.
When I went upstairs, I saw the hustle and bustle inside the shop from the side of the middle door.
Ten people were let in at a time. Each person could only stay for a cup of tea, and then ten young ladies in charge of paying the bill settled the bill one by one.
The items are in fixed quantities and clearly marked with prices, so the bill can be calculated quickly, and the money can be collected and the coupons issued very quickly.
If one stick of incense is fast, it can accommodate thirty people; if it is slow, it can accommodate twenty people.
There were quite a few people joining in the fun, but not all of them were willing to buy anything. The lines formed quickly and the customers were served quickly. Su Rina roughly calculated that within six hours from closing time to opening time, the store could accommodate at least 500 people.
Adding to all those miscellaneous activities, the shop's daily turnover can reach nearly a thousand taels of silver, not counting the people who go to Xining Town to buy and sell things.
The bitterness in her heart was enough to make any other pregnant woman give birth to three children. With a lot of anger in her heart, it was difficult for Su Rina to have a good face when she saw Miao Wan and Qiao Ruichen.
"Master Qiao and Madam Qiao are really good at this. They have been cheating people a lot."
Qiao Rui was unhappy. Anyone who bullied her brother and sister-in-law deserved to be scolded. She relied on her young age and was very quick-witted. "When it comes to cheating people, who can catch up with Wuliangha? They took our prescriptions and took advantage of us so much, but they didn't even say thank you. Even a black eagle would wag its tail."
Su Rina didn't know who Black Hawk was, but she knew he was talking about dog, and her face turned black.
But Taotao also joined in the fun and clapped his hands, "Diudiu! Serves you right!"
Miao Wan almost laughed out loud. She coughed lightly a few times and scolded him with a stern face, "How can you talk like that? Remember to give me a beating. I'll deal with you when I get home. Children are not allowed to interrupt when adults are talking. Xiaorui, take Taotao to see his uncle."
Qiao Rui pouted and pulled Taotao downstairs.
Miao Wan smiled and asked Su Rina to sit down. "Madam, don't bother with them. They are still young. Come, have some tea to cool down your temper. It's good chrysanthemum tea, it helps reduce internal heat."
This statement is exclusive to parents of naughty children. It has a very irritating effect when said. This has been proven by many people who have broadcast low-quality videos in later generations.
Su Rina was so angry that her hands were shaking. She was afraid of making a fool of herself and didn't even go to serve tea.
Fortunately, Su Rina was just bad-tempered and not stupid. Instead, she calmed down a bit and sneered, "They are children. Could it be that Madam Qiao is also a child? What you did is not much better than your little kid."
"Oh? Madam, what are you talking about? What did I do?" Miao Wan blinked and asked in confusion.
"I gave you all the recipes for our milk cubes and milk tofu, which are kept secret from outsiders. I didn't say anything when the cooperation negotiations fell through. Could it be that I did something wrong?"
Su Rina was about to ask for justice for her family, but suddenly she couldn't say anything. She understood why Bayin had such a look of as if he had eaten shit just now.
But she had never intended to seek justice from Miao Wan because of this. She had not participated in the activities of the two Wuliangha brothers. She was only seeking justice for herself.
"As a woman, I have no say in the affairs of the Wuliangha family. I naturally have no right to comment on what you want to do. I'm talking about the things between us." Su Rina suddenly looked serious and her eyes became sharper.
"You were the one who came to me and asked me to exchange some precious plants from the Western Regions and the Yi people for a recipe, right? If you want to get something for nothing, you might as well just say so. I've treated you well, whether it was the White Jade Dragon Cream or the shower gel. And just in case you'd mind the Wuliangha clan, I even asked merchants from the Western Regions to mediate. The camels and horses are practically free, too. Isn't that quite considerate?"
Miao Wan nodded with a half-smile. She thought Su Rina was embarrassed to talk about the Western Region merchants, but after hearing her words, she knew that she was not a shameless person.
"That's very kind. So I'll give you the White Jade Dragon Cream and Shower Gel recipes exactly as I made them. Don't tell me you can't make them?"
Su Rina showed a sneer on her face. "I have made the White Jade Dragon Cream, but everyone who has used it says it can't compare to the effect of Qianjinlou. As for the shower gel recipe, do you have any idea whether I can make it or not?"
Miao Wan looked aggrieved. "But that's exactly how I made the White Jade Dragon Cream. As for the lack of efficacy, I just changed the recipe. I can't even give you the craftsman, right? The same goes for the shower gel. I only gave you the recipe. I never promised to guarantee that you could make something exactly like Qianjinlou's."
She raised her head and looked at Su Rina, saying word by word, "After all, the Wu Rouge Shop is the best at imitation. Even with the recipe, they can't make it. Maybe they have made too many imitations and can't make the original one?"
Su Rina stood up suddenly and looked down at Miao Wan. "When you exchanged the prescription, you knew that it would be useless even if I got it? Are you determined to break off relations with Beimeng?"
"I still say the same thing, whatever you want, I will give it to you. You and I are not related in any way, so how can I guarantee that you will make a fortune after getting the prescription?" Miao Wan just sat there calmly, not afraid of Su Rina's implicit threat at all.
"After all, not everyone is me, Miao Wan."
Su Rina looked at Miao Wan for a while, then glanced at Qiao Ruichen who was drinking tea calmly with his eyes lowered, and suddenly laughed.
"It's clear that things are different now. Boss Miao and Lord Qiao are no longer worried about their lives, so they don't take Northern Mongolia seriously. But the Wuliangha family's business is not just Wuliangha's business. I wonder if Emperor Dayue will just watch us get bullied if he knows about your bullying."
Miao Wan placed the teacup on the table with a thud. She tried to hold back some inappropriate words. After all, her husband had said that the Saint's situation in the capital was not that good either.
But some people are just taking advantage of others. If you don't slap me back, they will just act like there is no one around.
She stood up and found that she was not as tall as Su Rina, the difference was too great, which made Miao Wan feel a little frustrated.
She thought about it and stood directly on the chair.
Su Rina: “…”
Qiao Ruichen: “…”
It was Miao Wan's turn to look down at Su Rina. The cunning laughter and anger on her face were gone. Instead, she had a blank expression like Qiao Ruichen.
After shouting for nearly two hours, her voice was a little hoarse, but her words were so precise that the temperature in the room seemed to drop.
"You insist on a clear explanation. Okay, Xining Town was burned down, with over a hundred casualties. It was you, Su Rina, who allowed the guards to kill everyone just to seize the restaurants on the street, killing the people of Dayue. This led to the other side's utter destruction and being exploited by the Xiban people. I just want to ask, at that time, did Beimeng take Dayue seriously?"
"The Xiban people burned, killed, and looted in Xining Town, causing the contract between the Qiao family and others to be burned. The Wuliangha clan broke the contract and even used my family's secret recipe to make money. You, the Wuliangha clan, are the most ungrateful. At that time, did the Northern Mongolians take me, the cousin-in-law of Emperor Dayue, seriously?"
"I'll give you the recipe. Haven't you tried it yourself to see if it works just as well? The Wuliangha clan doesn't know how to trade, but they're blaming me and allowing their guards to cause trouble on my Dayue territory. You want me to chew up the rice myself and feed it to you? Ugh! I don't even need to feed my daughter that way. I'm asking, does Beimeng have any sense of business as a merchant?"
"You keep citing the friendly alliance between Beimeng and Dayue, but in reality, you're just assuming Dayue won't break off relations with you. You're taking advantage of everything and still acting like a good kid. What are you relying on? Is your face thicker than the walls of Xining Town?"
"Do you really think my great-grandfather is a shrew who swallows his anger in silence? You want to settle the score, right? Then why don't we settle it properly? Spit out all the milk and milk tofu, I won't send you any more! If you have the guts, don't do this again!"
"Tear up the covenant? Just try tearing one up! If you piss me off, I'll personally deliver the news that the Northern Mongols have abundant grass, strong horses, and plenty of food to the Western Regions. Let's see if they'll let the Northern Mongols go! Do you really think Dayue begged you, the Northern Mongols, to sign the contract?"
Qiao Ruichen looked up at his wife who kept calling him "mom". He didn't know how to stop her. He just realized that it was no wonder that his wife wanted to stand on the chair. She was really trying to go to heaven.
Su Rina is the princess of Northern Mongolia, and his wife is the saint's cousin. It is hard to say who is more noble between the two.
It's just that the Northern Mongols have always been arrogant, and their conflicts with the Western Tibetans are not as many as those with Dayue. There are some things that even a saint like Qiao Ruichen cannot say, otherwise it means that the Gubei Army and Dayue want to fight.
But when Miao Wan went up to heaven, she acted like a shrew scolding people in the street. Even if the news got out, as long as the two sides didn't actually fight, there would be room for maneuver.
I can still curse her to my heart's content. Once again, Qiao Ruichen sighed in his heart, my wife is awesome.
Su Rina had never experienced such street scolding. She had never heard anyone throw words like "mother-in-law" and "son of a bitch" in her face. She was so angry that she was shaking all over.
"Do whatever you want. If you want to fight, I'll fight you with my life. I'm putting it right here. You Wuliangha can do whatever business you want. You want to make money with my Ruan family's prescriptions? Dream on! If I don't make you lose everything, I'll write my name upside down!"
"Also, don't try to scam me here. You'll be so angry later that Xiping County probably won't be able to gather enough vegetables to hold another banquet in the winter!"
Qiao Ruichen: “…”
Su Rina's face turned red after being scolded by Miao Wan. She pointed at her and yelled at her for a long time without saying anything. She was so angry that she kicked down the stool next to her and turned away.
After Su Rina left, Miao Wan got down from the chair and rubbed against Qiao Ruichen with her head drooping. "Husband, have I gotten into trouble?"
Qiao Ruichen laughed out loud and patted her head to comfort her, "No, you scolded me well. Bei Meng should be punished. Besides, my lady has helped me a lot."
He was originally worried that he couldn't make those veteran officers in the county city obey him. With Beimeng as an excuse, he finally had a stepping stone, which was not a bad thing.
"But if this happens, Xining Town will probably be watched by the entire county. If we're not careful, people will use it to make a fuss. My wife will have to work hard."
Miao Wan snorted. She had wanted to curse at those words a long time ago. She had always felt a little aggrieved since she traveled through time. It was really embarrassing for a woman who traveled through time. She was really fed up with it.
"I'm not afraid of hard work, and I don't mind writing about it. At worst, I'll just write about it first. Even if people scold me, I'll make them scold me until they get gold out of me!"
She wasn't good at writing for the imperial examinations, but when it came to media marketing, was there anyone better at scolding people than Lu Chenxi, the PR tycoon? At least she had learned the basics.
As long as she scolds herself first and quickly, others will not be able to catch up with her, and all the saliva will be sprayed in her face, humph!
The problem is that she doesn’t know any Northwestern intellectuals... She patted her forehead, scolded someone, and felt refreshed. Suddenly, an inspiration came to her. How could she have forgotten the newspaper!
Since she doesn't know anyone in the literary circle, why doesn't she just find a way to gather them into a circle?
What she didn't know was that one of the most talented military advisors in the Northwest literary circle had already successfully entered Xining Town on a camel or horse.
The author has something to say:
Miao Shiren: The cuckold spirit is quite useful. Damn, I’m not tall enough, so I’ll use a chair!
