Chapter 77 Sky-high Price
After arriving at the inn and asking where the shop selling moisturizer was, Mother Liang hurried into the shop.
There was only a female shopkeeper and two female assistants in the shop, and no customers at all.
It's strange, why is there no customer buying something that the lady loves so much?
After asking about the price, Mother Liang finally found the answer.
It turns out it’s because it’s expensive, no wonder there are no customers coming to the shop.
Mother Liang was shocked by the price quoted by the shopkeeper.
Is this a body cream made of gold? It costs 50 taels of silver!
Don't you want to scare me, an old woman?
It's impossible, absolutely impossible, moisturizer can't be sold at such a sky-high price.
The location here is remote, so the rent should be very cheap.
While Mother Liang was stunned, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager came into the shop.
The middle-aged man, wearing a good cotton coat, asked the female clerk in the shop directly, "I heard that you sell the skin lotion samples given by the Silver Moon Inn. How much is one box?"
Female waiter: "50 taels of silver."
After hesitating for a moment, the steward directly paid five hundred taels of silver and bought 10 boxes. He thought that this time the young master brought five concubines to Beiyue City to appreciate the paintings, and he wondered if 10 boxes would be enough for the five concubines.
Mother Liang watched with her own eyes as the man in charge paid the money and took the items away.
Now she finally believed that the moisturizer in this shop was really sold at a sky-high price, and the key was that there were people buying it.
And he didn't just buy one box, he bought 10 boxes at once.
Mother Liang suddenly felt her legs go weak and she sat down on the cold ground.
Oh my god, I've never seen such an expensive moisturizer.
"Shopkeeper, is it really 50 taels of silver each? Did I hear correctly?"
The female shopkeeper enthusiastically helped Su Pozi to sit on the chair and explained, "Don't worry, our price has always been 50 taels of silver per small jar, and we are fair to everyone."
Mrs. Su felt that the things were a bit expensive and she couldn't make a decision.
You know, although Madam Qin has money, she doesn't spend it lavishly. If she had directly bought 10 boxes for 500 taels of silver, she would probably be scolded when she returned home.
It would be better to confirm it verbally when you get home.
In the Qin Mansion, Mrs. Qin was having lunch, and it was very rare that she was praised by Qin Chuan.
"I see that Madam looks very good today, as if she is much younger."
"Really?"
Mrs. Qin felt that her dead heart suddenly came back to life.
He began to think about competing for favor with the young concubine.
This is not her fault. In the Great Yan Kingdom, it is difficult for women to go out.
For the women in the harem, husband is heaven.
The women trapped in the backyard all depend on men to survive, and regard men and children as their only spiritual support.
Naturally, they care about their husbands' attitude towards them.
After lunch, Qin Chuan went to Mrs. Qin's room and sat for a while, which was rare, and talked a lot.
It was just such a small thing, but it was enough to make Mrs. Qin happy.
Although her husband only talks to her now, he might be able to stay overnight in the house someday.
Mrs. Qin had a smile on her face all the time, and she was still smiling until Mother Liang came back.
"Mother Liang is back. Have you bought anything?"
“No, no.”
Mrs. Qin's heart skipped a beat and she felt something was wrong. Could it be that they were sold out?
It’s such a pity that she found out about such a good thing too late.
"Mother Liang, why can't I buy it?"
Madam Liang hesitated for a long time before she explained, "That thing is too expensive. It costs 50 taels of silver for a small jar. I can't make the decision, so I came back to ask Madam, are you sure you want to buy 10 jars at a time?"
Madam Qin waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, buy it quickly, and go to the account office to withdraw money."
Although 50 taels of this moisturizing cream is not cheap, the kingfisher feather jewelry her husband gave to his concubine yesterday is worth more than 1,000 taels of silver.
If she doesn't spend money, does she save all the money to spend on her concubines?
Mother Liang was surprised: it was the first time she saw her wife spending money so lavishly.
In the past, my wife always said that money should be spent frugally and saved for her two sons to get married.
But now, without blinking an eye, he asked me to buy 10 boxes.
I feel like this moisturizer has made the lady lose her mind.
After Mother Liang left, Mrs. Qin had no mind to do anything else. She walked back and forth in the room, wandering around and waiting.
Waiting is painful, but it is also full of hope.
Mrs. Qin just wanted to use moisturizer as soon as possible to remove all the spots and wrinkles on her face.
I just hope I can keep Qin Chuan in the house for a few more nights.
Mrs. Qin waited and waited, and finally Mother Liang came back.
Mother Liang was holding an exquisite gift box in her hand, which was given to her for free by the shopkeeper.
Take this gift box for example. It is different from those sold in high-end shops. There is a small picture of a lady in the lower right corner of this gift box. It is very beautiful and smells sweet, with a light scent of gardenia.
Mrs. Qin stepped forward, grabbed the gift box, took out the moisturizer, and immediately applied it all over her body.
The whole can was used up completely, without any left.
Mother Liang calculated in her mind that she would have to use it both morning and evening. One bottle in the morning and one bottle in the evening. The stuff bought with 500 taels of silver could only be used for 5 days, only 5 days.
After five days, you have to buy more when it’s used up.
Oh my god, that shop is making money without doing anything! Big winner in life.
Sure enough, after Mrs. Qin used up 10 bottles, she bought another 10 bottles without blinking an eye.
Half a month later, Mrs. Qin had undergone significant changes visible to the naked eye.
The change is truly amazing.
The wrinkles and spots on the face are almost invisible, and only a few traces can be seen if you look very carefully.
The whole person looks more than 10 years younger.
After 5 years, Qin Chuan once again stayed in Mrs. Qin's room.
With the nourishment of love, Mrs. Qin's face became even more radiant.
She was smiling every day and had long forgotten about her second son's lovesickness.
Mrs. Qin became more and more generous and directly asked Mrs. Liang to buy 20 bottles at one time.
"Go, buy 20 more bottles of moisturizer."
Mother Liang: Oh my god, how come the lady who used to be diligent and frugal seems like a different person?
However, she can understand Madam now.
Seeing that Mrs. Qin was getting younger and more beautiful, Mother Liang accepted the price of the moisturizer.
After all, youth is priceless.
But after I bought 20 bottles this time, I heard that the price of the moisturizer had doubled.
Mrs. Qin sighed that she bought too little.
The main reason she bought things this time was to send gifts to the capital before the New Year.
A bottle was prepared for each of the women in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Originally, a bottle was prepared for Wang who married into the Lin family, but after hearing about the price increase, Wang's bottle was replaced with other gifts.
I thought Baozhu would buy it and send it to her mother.
If I had known the price would increase so much, I should have bought a hundred or eighty bottles at a time.
With such a small amount of stock on hand, it won't last long.
But now she can't live without this moisturizer.
