This situation was completely unexpected by Madam Chu, after all, she had already prepared herself for defeat.
Unexpectedly, the new medicinal herbs achieved a great start on the second day after they were put on the shelves.
Looking at Qiao Yunni, she seemed to be used to it, which showed that she was very confident in her granddaughter's abilities.
“Grandma, I knew it! Our new medicinal herbs won’t have trouble selling.” Qiao Lian’er said.
Old Madam Chu was overjoyed and excited: "It has to be the sickle, it has to be the sickle!"
Great, there's hope!
As the younger uncle's carriage departed, Qiao Lian'er stood at the door watching it go.
He said loudly, "After we finish these three catties of medicinal herbs and two hundred catties of nuts, there's still more in the shop. Uncle is welcome to come again anytime."
Her shout drew the attention of many passing customers.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "People usually buy medicine by the ounce, and buying a few ounces is considered a lot. How could someone buy several pounds?"
"Could it be some kind of miracle drug?"
“It’s not some kind of miracle drug,” Qiao Lian’er said. “It just means that if you can carry a hundred pounds, you can carry an extra fifty pounds after taking it. If you can only carry for half a quarter of an hour, you can carry for half a quarter of an hour after taking it.”
"What? Such good results? You can't be exaggerating, can you?"
Qiao Lian'er looked up at the sky: "It's because it's useful that people can buy more from me."
"It's okay if you don't buy it. You'll only panic when your wife runs off with someone else." She said, standing on her tiptoes as if she were watching a good show.
Qiao Lian'er felt that she was now somewhat like a hoodlum.
However, making the business a success is the priority, so sacrificing her image is no big deal for her.
The men couldn't stand such words, and several of them rushed into the pharmacy.
"Give me two jin (1 kg) of this, if it's going to be half a quarter of an hour longer than half a quarter of an hour."
"I want a pound."
There was only one honest, burly uncle rubbing his hands together: "Give me half a pound of medicinal herbs that can carry more."
The Chu family's pharmacy became bustling with activity.
Looking at the steady stream of silver and copper coins flowing in, Old Madam Chu was filled with emotion.
Doing business can be difficult or easy; the key is to have a quick mind. Every word Lian'er said hits the customer's point of interest, or rather, their pain point.
A moment later, two women came in and immediately asked, "Are these all medicines for men?"
“How could that be? Women can also improve their health if you need it,” Qiao Lian’er said.
One of the girls was still not satisfied: "Then, what about something else?"
Actually, she couldn't quite explain what medicine she needed, and she usually didn't have any health problems, but this pharmacy seemed to make people feel better, so they came to browse around.
Qiao Lian'er then explained to them in detail that some medicinal herbs are good for women's blood and qi, some can prevent hair loss, and some can make the skin whiter and more delicate, and so on.
The two listened with expressions of astonishment.
If all these effects were to come true, wouldn't that be incredible?
I figured the shopkeeper was probably exaggerating to sell the medicine, but I couldn't resist the hope that it would work, so I bought some anyway.
Every time a guest left, Qiao Lian'er would stand at the door and loudly see them off, while also mentioning the effect of the event.
So, from early morning onwards, customers kept coming in one after another.
During lunch, Old Madam Chu tallied up her earnings and found she had actually made thirty taels.
If this can be maintained, that would be amazing.
Knowing that the mother and daughter would soon be returning to Datian Village, she needed to familiarize herself with these medicinal herbs as soon as possible, so she memorized them whenever she had time.
Qiao Lian'er looked at the space, where there were vast stretches of good medicinal herbs, stretching as far as the eye could see. Even if business was good, she would never be able to sell them all if she sold them at retail.
We need to find a way to wholesale them.
The next day, the manager of a large pharmacy came to the door.
