The most profitable drug?
Old Li frowned. What was the most profitable business for them these days?
This is Yancheng, and most of the people here are involved in salt production.
Therefore, their most important asset is their hands.
The best-selling item in the store is a hand cream.
This ointment isn't particularly expensive, but it's not cheap either.
A large number of people need it, so sales are quite good.
Moreover, merchants with connections would cooperate with the government, and their supply would be even more abundant.
That fat Liu is collaborating with government officials.
The selling price is unclear, but both of them made a fortune.
However, the quality of their goods...
Old Li frowned. The bulk of this business was with the government, and they couldn't possibly win the government's contracts.
"If we can't get the government's order..."
"Don't worry about that. We can get the workers to make a fuss and force the government to replace him."
Han Luoxue smiled confidently. Although she didn't know how to make ointment, her younger sister did, and Doctor Xu was helping her. If she added some spiritual spring water, the effect would definitely be several times that of the fat man's.
If the results are too good to be true, even if the difference is too great, the people doing the work will definitely protest.
In fact, Han Luoxue could have directly secured the government's order, but she wasn't in a hurry. She wanted to see what other outrageous things the county government had done.
Also, who is his backer?
This place isn't far from the capital. If they didn't have powerful backers, Han Luoxue didn't believe they would dare to act so recklessly.
Zhou Jie understood Han Luoxue's thoughts. She didn't want to rely on her family's connections to come here; she wanted to try on her own.
As for Yunniang, she had no objections. She was just there to accompany her daughter and see her; she had no say in making the decisions.
Han Luoxue told the innkeeper where they lived and told him to come find her once he had made up his mind. She would come again tomorrow.
The shopkeeper suddenly said:
"No need, I can make the decision right now."
"Two thousand taels of silver, and this shop is yours."
This price...
Han Luoxue looked at her younger sister, who was unfamiliar with the prices of medicinal herbs. Han Luoyu smiled and said:
"Sister, it's not expensive!"
"The medicinal herbs in my shop cost more than two thousand taels of silver. I want 30% of the shop's profits."
Wow, this old man is pretty shrewd; he didn't sell it directly to me.
I must say, he has a good eye. He'll definitely make money with me in the future.
Moreover, given Han Luoxue's background, this old man had practically latched onto a powerful figure.
"Okay, let's sign the documents now."
Even signing contracts here requires paperwork and registration with the government.
Han Luoxue took action immediately, wrote it down, and handed it to Zhou Jun, instructing him and the old man to go to the county government office.
She won't go. It's something both sides agree on, so how could the county government make things difficult for them?
Besides, Zhou Jun is a member of the Zhou family, and a mere county magistrate is no match for him.
Even if the county magistrate is truly in a difficult position, they can temporarily refuse to sign and complete the process later.
Han Luoxue took the pharmacy's prescription and led everyone back.
Han Luoxue showed the pharmacy to Doctor Xu, who said it was fine. She then gave him a bottle of water and asked him to experiment with how much to add.
Han Luoyu was quite happy; the shop was practically hers now. Her sister had just said it was for her to play with.
With her older sister's support, how could she possibly lose to that fatso?
Not long after everyone returned, Mu Yurou came over again and asked Han Luoxue if there was anywhere else she wanted to go.
Han Luoxue told them about the embroidery workshop, and Mu Yurou said there was a place in Yancheng where almost all the embroidery workshops were located, and she could take them there to have a look.
However, business there seems to be doing well, and there are no shops available for transfer at the moment.
Yunniang was in high spirits, and the group went out again.
The area was not far from Yanshan. When the group arrived, they indeed saw five or six embroidery workshops, almost side by side.
The group went into several houses, and they were all greeted by Mu Yurou, who was extremely enthusiastic.
Looking at the styles here, there's still a significant difference compared to those in Beijing.
The clothes in the capital are more luxurious and have exquisite designs.
The materials here are of lower quality, and the styles are more ordinary, but that's normal, since the clothes here are more focused on practicality.
What surprised Han Luoxue even more was that there was actually an affordable embroidery shop here. The clothes in the shop were the kind that ordinary people would wear, and the prices were very low.
This shop is doing surprisingly well; many people come to buy clothes.
Mu Yurou smiled and said:
"Mrs. Han, these clothes are a little more expensive than if you make them yourself, but if you make these kinds of clothes at home, it would take about two days. Here, they are only slightly more expensive, and many people think they are a good deal, so they come to buy them."
Han Luoxue nodded, surprised that there was such a genius who could come up with this method; he was truly a talent.
Han Luoxue took a closer look and concluded that it was more suitable for ordinary people to wear, as it would be very convenient for doing chores.
In addition, the price is relatively affordable, so quite a few people come to buy it.
"Sister Xue'er, this person hasn't been to the capital, has he?"
"By the way, Miss Mu, how long has this shop been open?"
"The opening period was quite long, but the period of wearing this kind of clothing was not long, about half a month? At most no more than a month."
Han Luoxue and Zhou Jie were both stunned. Could it really be true?
No way, did that shopkeeper really go to the capital, or was he inspired by their shop?
The two exchanged a glance, both of them shocked.
"I'm a little tired today, let's go home first."
Han Luoxue is pregnant and about to give birth. It's tiring enough for her to come out once in a while. This is her second trip already. They also want to see the lanterns tonight.
Mu Yurou didn't go back with them this time, but she said she would help them inquire and see if there were any suitable shops.
"Leasing is fine, or you can buy it directly."
Zhou Jie spoke casually. She had quite a bit of money on hand, and besides, wasn't there Han Luoxue?
Zhou Jie knew that Han Luoxue had a lot of money.
She was just a small-time rich woman; her brother had said that Han Luoxue had more silver than their entire family.
"It seems we can't be too high-profile here."
Back in the courtyard, Han Luoxue was a little worried.
Unexpectedly, I ran into someone who had been to their shop, though I wasn't sure if that person had even seen me before.
Zhou Jie, in particular, used to be active outside, so even more people knew her.
"Xue'er, how about we postpone setting up the shop for now?"
Han Luoxue shook her head. Knowing that the county magistrate was up to something, she had to investigate thoroughly.
"Sister Zhou and I go out less often, but you and Yu'er are fine."
Han Luoxue looked at the system's marketplace to see if there were any disguise items, provided they wouldn't harm her body.
She didn't want to be exposed, otherwise her escape would have been for nothing.
"Xue'er, Mother doesn't really want to go out either. Actually, I'm quite good at making embroidery at home. Once you're done, you can put it away and sell it in the capital later."
"I was just joking when I said I'd open an embroidery shop, don't take it to heart."
Yunniang hurriedly advised, saying that she came here mainly to accompany her daughter and did not want to cause her any trouble.
