Chapter 274: Life is abundant and full of energy.
My aunt laughed so hard that she was very happy.
When we arrived at the granary, my aunt still thought about the glass.
"If you ask me, once the food problem is gradually resolved, we can specialize in smelting some glass products and sell them. Glass windows are just one of them. We can also make some handicrafts, right?"
"The ladies all love these things. If we use them as the main item for our Ladies' Shop after the spring, they will definitely sell for a good price. They are one-of-a-kind items."
Last quarter, the two of them did some calculations and found that since the opening of the Lady's Shop and the Herbal Medicine Shop, they had been making a lot of money every month. The Lady's Shop's ginseng skincare products, in particular, were selling very well.
Thanks to my aunt's efforts, women and children from other towns in Liaoli sent people to buy them. Now it has become the most fashionable women's product.
Naturally, the aunt also received a large sum of money. For this reason, she simply bought a house in Guancheng and let Ruan Mao live there. She even saved up the betrothal gifts for Ruan Mao's future marriage.
Life is abundant and full of energy.
Now that I’m with Ruan Mian, I’m thinking about how to make money.
"Aunt, I trust you to do things, and I will do as you say."
After Ruan Mian finished speaking, he touched the pearl ring.
In the blink of an eye, the aunt saw that the originally empty granary was instantly filled with fresh fruits and vegetables!
Her eyes widened with joy. "These are enough for our first batch to sell. Plus, there are lots of roots and fruits like potatoes and sweet potatoes here, which are filling! They're also the most in demand right now."
Now that my aunt had food, it was much easier to sell it. Moreover, she could sell it cheaper than other merchants.
However, after she communicated with Mr. Wang, she found out that the man was very greedy and did not pay according to the price she asked.
Once it was sold, the price was more than five times higher.
My aunt originally thought that all the food would be sold out in less than five days, but after two or three days, she found that not much of the food in the granary had been moved.
I immediately noticed something was wrong and asked someone about it.
"Sir, do you know if there's any affordable food for sale recently?"
The man looked at her in disbelief and joked.
"How can we get food at a reasonable price at this time? Even Mr. Wang in our city is selling it for more than five times the price, and that's already a fair price. What else can we eat? We might as well starve to death and have nothing to eat."
The eldest aunt's eyes darkened, and she devoted herself to opening up channels, while Mianmian worked diligently to build a sunroom in the village. In the end, Mr. Wang took away the money at the last minute.
He immediately rushed to the palace angrily, kicked open the door and started yelling.
"You bastard Wang Lao Er! How dare you go after me?! My grain is rotting and I can't sell it. I'll tear your head off!"
When the housekeeper saw her aggressive look, he didn't dare to step forward to stop her, but could only shout a few times in a pretentious manner from behind.
"Ouch, ouch, Madam Ruan, you can't do that." But no matter how the housekeeper shouted from behind, the aunt turned a deaf ear.
He strode straight to the backyard.
When Wang Lao Er heard her voice, he ran over to announce the good news: "Hey, Lan'er, do you know that we made a fortune this time?! Guess what I..."
"Your conscience has been eaten by a dog!"
Before Wang Laoer could finish his words, his aunt had already kicked him in the stomach, and he almost vomited blood.
Wang Lao Er covered his abdomen with a distorted face and said in a hoarse voice, "Lan'er, what...what does this mean?"
"What do you mean? What did I tell you in the beginning? Did I ask you to sell the grain at a high price? Do you still have any conscience? There's a food shortage and natural disasters happening right now. Everyone is starving to death, and you're still thinking about making a little money!"
Wang Lao Er was so aggrieved by his scolding: "Lan Er, I'm doing this for our own good. My price isn't that high. It's lower than any other merchant in the city. This is already very conscientious."
"Besides, we are businessmen, we want to make money. This is a good opportunity, we..."
"Make money, make money, are you obsessed with money? What did I tell you in the beginning? If we want to keep this business going long-term and make more money, we must put people first and treat each other with sincerity!"
"Wang Lao Er, if you continue to do business with me with this attitude, there's no need for us to cooperate. From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine. When we meet again, we'll be rivals!"
The eldest aunt threw her hands and made some harsh remarks.
Wang Laoer immediately became unhappy.
Now, my aunt is no longer the same as before in Guancheng, and she has to rely on him for everything.
My aunt now has already built up a lot of connections on her own, and Wang Laoer has also made a lot of easy money by following her, and most importantly, he has also won a good reputation.
It brought a lot of benefits to his uncle, the city lord.
The city lord's uncle also said that being able to do business with Lan'er would only benefit their Wang family.
So now when he heard that he was going to part ways with her, he immediately became anxious and tried to appease her like a lackey.
"I was wrong, Lan'er. It's all my fault!!"
"I was too greedy. I will punish myself and take control of myself!"
After saying that, he slapped himself hard a few times and knelt in front of his aunt to beg for her forgiveness.
"Lan'er, I'm sorry for this. I was blinded by money and didn't consider the people. How about I return all the extra money to those people, and then I'll sell all the grain in the granary at the price you said!"
The eldest aunt rolled her eyes fiercely, but then she thought, this business was done in his name, so if anything happened, their Wang family would support them from behind.
They only care about solving the food problem and ensuring people can afford to eat.
Thinking of this, the aunt's expression relaxed a little, her eyes turned, and she looked at Wang Laoer and said.
"If you know what you did was not right and you admit your mistake promptly, then there's nothing wrong with it. Forget it, the most urgent thing is to return the extra money you owe."
"Also, for the remaining grain in the granary, go and promote it. No matter what method you use, you must ensure that the people in the city who need grain can buy it at the original price."
"If anyone asks, you just..."
"Lan'er, I know. Besides, who dares to ask more questions? The price I want to sell it at is my own business. It has nothing to do with anyone else!! If anyone dares to ask more, I will tear their skin apart."
In Guancheng, his Wang family still has some status.
In this way, my aunt can watch happily from behind.
Once the price of grain is lowered, other merchants who want to raise prices can stop thinking about it!
However, the facts were just as she expected, pushing Wang Laoer to the front was the right choice.
The next day, in order to let Junlan know his determination, Mr. Wang even went out in person and found a lot of servants to sell grain for him.
