next day
Jiang Wan took the puppet she had made and went to Uncle Niu's house at the village entrance to rent an ox cart. After loading the things on the cart, she asked Uncle Niu to drive the ox cart to take her to the town.
"Jiang family girl, have you been tinkering with these things all this time?"
"Your Aunt Niu has been tinkering with these little things these past few days, staying up late most of the night. I don't know what's so good about these little things."
His words were not directed at anyone, he was just complaining. Maybe Aunt Niu had neglected him while doing the embroidery work during this period.
After all, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu are the best couple in the village.
"Uncle Niu, have you been ignored by Aunt Niu?"
Uncle Niu blushed when he heard Jiang Wan's teasing, but he was not embarrassed at all.
"Your Aunt Niu makes these little things all day long. I've been cooking these past two days. Can my cooking skills compare to your Aunt Niu's?"
Hearing this, Jiang Wan laughed.
"Uncle Niu, you and Aunt Niu have such a good relationship."
"Before, the production of these dolls was small, so we couldn't make that much money. But now more and more people are making them, and the profit is just enough to fill our stomachs."
Two days ago, she raised the wages of the women who came to work in their house.
These past two days, the aunts in the village have been in high spirits, which is probably related to this.
Uncle Niu laughed cheerfully. He was also blaming Jiang Wan, just talking about this matter.
What's more, after his wife went to work at the Jiang family, she smiled a lot more often.
What’s the big deal about skipping two meals? A smile is the most important thing. These past two days, she even used her advanced embroidery skills to embroider a belt for him!
The ox cart was not as fast as the horse carriage, and it took them more than half an hour to reach the town.
Uncle Niu looked up at the embroidery workshop in front of him.
When the owner of Lingying Embroidery Workshop saw her coming, he hurried out of the house, followed by two servants.
"Hey, Wanwan, you're here!"
"Sister Ying."
Jiang Wan jumped off the carriage, and Uncle Niu behind her spoke.
"Jiang girl, should you move this thing in, or should they come..."
"No need, just ask the shop boy to come."
Wang Ying took a step forward and quickly raised her hand to wave to the two servants behind her.
This Uncle Niu looks quite old, so we can't let him move these things, or else something might happen.
Jiang Wan took out a copper coin from her purse and handed it over.
"Girl Jiang, there are too many——"
He had a total of fifty copper coins in his hand, which was enough for him to attract many people.
"Uncle Niu, please accept this. I originally rented your ox cart today, and I also troubled you to drive the cart to help me deliver the goods to the town. This money is what you deserve."
"But this is too much—"
Uncle Niu refused to accept it no matter what. In the end, Jiang Wan took back another ten copper coins and gave him forty, which he reluctantly took back.
"Well, the stuff has been delivered. So, Jiang girl, you—"
"Uncle Niu, please go back first. I'll stay in town and take care of some things."
"good."
After counting the dolls she brought one by one, Wang Ying paid the money with a smile, and then spoke again as if nothing had happened.
"Wanwan, the puppet business has been booming lately. Other embroidery shops have caught wind of this and are starting to figure out how to make these puppets."
"Sister Ying, don't worry. Even if they learn how to make these puppets, there are still other styles. If we seize the opportunity first, we will definitely make more money than others."
Jiang Wan had thought about this question a long time ago.
"Also, even if the puppets can imitate, they still need time to explore the patterns on the puppets."
Wang Ying laughed sweetly when she heard this.
"As expected, Wanwan, you have a very smart brain."
This puppet business did indeed bring her Lingying Embroidery Workshop back to life, and gradually won back many customers from the embroidery workshop across the street.
These were all Jiang Wan's achievements. Now after hearing her words, she was even more certain in her heart that Jiang Wan should not be provoked and it was best to make friends with her.
His eyes swept over the backpack on Jiang Wan's shoulder, and his eyes flashed slightly.
"Wanwan, are you going to sell herbs?"
"Well, I picked a lot of herbs in the mountains a while ago, and I plan to try my luck at Huichuntang."
She was able to figure out how to make a puppet, and now she's also proficient in herbs. This little girl...
"I'm narrow-minded. I didn't expect Wanwan to be so proficient in pharmacology."
"Sister Ying, you're too kind. I'm not proficient in pharmacology. I just know a few herbs."
"It's getting late now. Since the things have been delivered, Sister Ying, I'm leaving first."
After leaving Lingying Embroidery Workshop, Jiang Wan did not go to Huichuntang immediately, but went to a nearby cosmetics shop.
The largest cosmetics shop nearby is Yuling Pavilion not far away. I heard that most of the rouge and powder in Yuling Pavilion are of high quality.
Even many dignitaries in the capital were flocking to it.
As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the servant in front of the door.
"Go away, go away! How dare you, a beggar, cause trouble in Yuling Pavilion? Don't you even consider your own status?"
Jiang Wan looked back at her clothes. They were ordinary, but her whole body was clean without a single stain.
"How do you know I'm a beggar? Could it be that Yuling Pavilion refuses guests?"
"Guest? With your level, even if you work for a whole year, you still can't afford the cosmetics for our Yuling Pavilion!"
The servant looked arrogant, she had seen many people like him.
"You are probably just a maid in Yuling Pavilion. Is this how you treat guests?"
