At night, Tangli took the two babies to sleep and told them bedtime stories.
The two babies were fascinated by the story and fell asleep next to their mother with cute sleeping faces.
The next day.
Tangli woke up and the two children were still sleeping.
She quietly got out of bed, washed, had breakfast, and went to Baoqing Pavilion.
Besides handling things, Tangli also had another important task: teaching Zheng Ding what he knew. Zheng Ding was a quick learner, and within two or three years, once he was older, he would be able to handle things on his own.
Two uninvited guests came outside Baoqing Pavilion.
It was Xie Fangfei and her maid.
Xie Fangfei just wanted to come and see Wei Qing's wife. As for how to find her, she could just ask the security guards some questions.
Xie Fangfei looked up at Baoqing Pavilion, as if thinking about something.
"Opening a small shabby shop in such a small place is not even one thousandth of the young lady's." The maid Dongxue snorted coldly, looking down on Wei Qing's wife.
Xie Fangfei glanced at the maid: "Why should I compete with her?"
The little maid realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly slapped her mouth twice: "Miss, I was wrong. This kind of rustic woman is not worthy of being compared with you."
Xie Fangfei's expression became a little better. She stopped a passerby and asked about the owner of Baoqing Pavilion.
Passersby know a lot about Baoqing Pavilion.
"The owner of this Baoqing Pavilion is Manager Tang, who is a very important figure..."
The passersby kept talking about how Baoqing Pavilion originally belonged to the Lu family, and after the master of the Lu family passed away, many people coveted and framed it, but Tangli turned the tide and made Baoqing Pavilion, which was on the verge of closing, even bigger than before.
"In short, Shopkeeper Tang is an amazing woman." He gave a thumbs up.
Xie Fangfei was very disdainful. With such little ability, she was called a remarkable woman?
Isn’t it really amazing that you can just snap your fingers and a bunch of people will do it for you?
Xie Fangfei walked into Baoqing Pavilion and looked around.
Chang Lu immediately came forward and said, "Sir, is there anything you need? I can help you find it."
He then started to chat, "You look unfamiliar, but your manners are remarkable. Are you from the county? Or are you a daughter of a wealthy family in the county?"
"Our young lady came from Shangjing." The maid snorted, as if despising Chang Lu's ignorance.
Chang Lu didn't care: "It's my ignorance. Only the capital can produce such a person with such a noble character."
Chang Lu kept flattering her, but Xie Fangfei ignored him with an arrogant smile on her face.
After walking around for a while, she asked, "Where is your shopkeeper Tang?"
"The shopkeeper is busy with her business. If you need anything, just tell me."
"Go away, our young lady wants to see the shopkeeper. You are not worthy to talk to our young lady!" said the maid angrily.
Chang Lu had no choice but to go into the inner room and call the shopkeeper out.
As soon as Tang Li came out, she felt a pair of eyes falling on her. She followed the gaze and saw a charming girl. It was winter, and she was wearing a thin shirt. She had a graceful figure, and her plumpness and slenderness were clearly visible.
Tang Li always felt that there was a hint of hostility and contempt in the way she looked at him.
Tangli had a smile on his face: "Miss, is there anything you need?"
Xie Fangfei said in a loud voice: "I'm here to discuss business with you."
"What business?" Tang Li was curious.
"One word from me can expand your business tenfold or a hundredfold. Are you sure you want to say that here?" Xie Fangfei said with arrogance on her face.
"Then please go to the tea room, young lady." Tang Li said.
The two of them went to the tea room and the maids were locked outside.
"What's your name, girl?"
"Xie Fangfei."
Tang Li said, "Thank you for the business that Miss Xie just mentioned. I'd like to hear more about it."
"Let me make it clear first, if we cooperate, I will take 90% of the profits." Xie Fangfei said.
In fact, she didn't really want to cooperate with Tangli, she just wanted to prove how much better she was than her.
Just a few words from me can be countless times more effective than her hard work.
"Then please tell me, I'll see if your idea is worth the 90% commission." Tang Li said with a smile.
"I just checked. Your shop only has two products: rouge and powder. These two things are available everywhere, and the ones in Beijing are even better. So your shop can only operate in a small town like this. If you take it outside, you won't be competitive at all. Of course, if your goal is just to make a small profit, then ignore what I said," Xie Fangfei said, leaving the other person hanging. This is the art of speaking.
"Of course, my goal is not limited to Yaoshui Town." Tang Li said.
"Okay, if you want to expand your store, you need to have unique features and new products. These are your core competitive advantages. There are two things. One is called water. The water I'm talking about is different from the water we drink. It's a finer-grained water that our skin absorbs better. The other is called lotion. This lotion is also shaped like milk and is mixed with oil. When applied to the face, it locks in moisture. With these two new products, I guarantee your business will continue to grow and you'll make a lot of money!"
Xie Fangfei finished speaking with a hint of pride on her face.
She felt that her words would definitely shock and astonish the natives, and then they would regard them as treasures.
How could an ancient person have such advanced knowledge that was thousands of years old?
She was filled with a sense of superiority.
Tangli narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
"So, young lady, you want to use the formula of water and milk in exchange for 90% of the profits of my Baoqing Pavilion?"
Recipe? She just bought it and used it directly, how would she know the recipe?
"My idea is worth 90% of the profit, what else do I need the formula for?" Xie Fangfei said unhappily.
"Girl, your words are really worthless, and they are worthless." Tang Li said.
"you!"
Xie Fangfei's face looked very ugly.
Uninformed ancients!
When she went to Beijing, she also met such people. She gave them some advice with good intentions, but those people did not appreciate it because of their short-sightedness!
"Let's not even talk about the lack of formulas. Just based on your description of the two ingredients, we're going to research and develop them, not to mention how small the chances of success are. Furthermore, if we actually manage to make them, as you said, both of them are in liquid form. A wooden box definitely won't work, and porcelain bottles are expensive. We'll need containers made of special materials..."
"Glass! There is a material called glass!" said Xie Fangfei.
She was almost mad, and she still had to teach her step by step, what an ignorant native!
"Glass? Yes, I know about glass. Great Zhou doesn't have glass. Neighboring Great Qi does, and it's used by royalty and nobles. Even if I find a way to buy it, the packaging would cost dozens of taels. Young lady, are you willing to pay dozens of taels for a bottle of water?"
Xie Fangfei's face looked extremely ugly.
She seemed to have never seen glass before. Glass is so expensive!
Who would spend so much money on a bottle of water? Even the ladies wouldn’t, because they could buy pearl powder with that much money!
"That's why I said the girl's words are worthless!"
Xie Fangfei could vaguely sense the mockery in the other person's eyes.
She was actually laughed at by a native!
Xie Fangfei couldn't sit still any longer, so she turned around and left.
