But now that things have come to this, there's nothing she can do about being angry.
After delivering the goods, she still had to rush off to discuss business.
As soon as Song Ning entered the shop, the shopkeeper greeted her warmly: "Miss, you've finally arrived. Our boss has been waiting for you."
At this moment, a servant came out from inside, his attitude extremely respectful: "Miss, my master invites you."
Song Ning was invited to the backyard of the shop, where a portly middle-aged man sat. He was the owner of the shop and the famous Master Zhang of Jiangning County.
Perhaps not expecting to be discussing business with a young girl, Master Zhang paused for a moment before standing up and smiling, "Please sit down, young lady."
The servants brought tea and snacks, and Zhang, with a forced smile, said, "I heard that the young lady wants to do business with me?"
"Indeed, you saw what I left behind yesterday, didn't you?"
He had not only seen the product yesterday, but his whole family had even used it last night. He had to admit that it was very effective, otherwise he wouldn't have come today.
Besides, his shops have been struggling for some time now, and there's been no sign of improvement. He can tell that the stuff is good.
“Since you have already tried it, you must already know the effects of soap. Although there are many bath beans and soap pods on the market, one is not very effective, and the other is that they do not have their own characteristics and competitiveness. For example, Yuanzhou City, am I right?” Song Ning was not afraid at all and analyzed logically.
Every businessperson has ambition, so how could they be content to be confined to just Jiangning County?
Because business was not good at his shops in Jiangning County, Master Zhang thought about expanding into other markets, so he opened a new shop in Yuanzhou City.
However, the commercial sector in Yuanzhou City is already well-established, so it's not easy to carve out a place for yourself there.
Master Zhang looked on in surprise: "Young lady, you are indeed clever. You are absolutely right."
"The bath beans and soap pods on the market are basically the same, nothing particularly outstanding. Since all the shops sell the same things, there are not many other choices, so everyone naturally chooses the cheaper ones."
As far as she knew, the bath beans and soap pods at Master Zhang's shop were two coins more expensive than at another shop.
Master Zhang nodded repeatedly. Business was indeed quite good in the first few years, but gradually, more and more people started doing this business, and it became difficult.
"Master Zhang, when shall we sign the contract?" Song Ning asked with a smile.
Master Zhang chuckled a few times: "Young lady, you're quite straightforward for your age. I do have my eye on your things. Name your price."
Master Zhang is now very confident. The best bath beans on the market cost almost two taels of silver, and this soap is even better. It's also much bigger and more durable than bath beans, and it smells good too. He's sure to make a profit.
When Song Ning explained the price, Master Zhang agreed without hesitation.
Both parties signed the contract smoothly, agreeing to deliver the goods two days later.
When Song Rui saw Song Ning come out with a big smile, he knew that the business deal was done.
A hint of admiration appeared in his eyes as he looked at Song Ning.
Although Song Ning is younger than him, she is much more capable.
With Song Ning securing this deal, both Jiangning County and Yuanzhou City now have markets.
Following her success with braised food, her business has taken another step forward.
In a few days, we should hear from Madam Jiang.
She went to Yunxiu Workshop in high spirits, and the proprietress ran over to share the good news with her: "Er Ya, good news!"
"A gentleman from the capital came today and took a fancy to your hair ornament, saying he wants to do business with you!"
Song Ning's eyes lit up; it was double happiness!
“You weren’t here when the man arrived, but he said he knew the magistrate of Tianxiang County, so I told him you were from Tianxiang County and that you must be on your way there now.”
Is this another acquaintance of Lord Zheng? Could it be from Madam Jiang's household?
However, with the county magistrate present, she wasn't worried.
However, her hair accessories are now expected to expand into the market, allowing her to recruit more people and enable more people to earn money.
If we make money, our living standards will improve, and the development of the entire county will be promising. The future looks bright!
As she left Yunxiufang and passed a teahouse, a maid-like figure blocked her path.
She recognized her; she was Xu Jiaojiao's maid.
"Miss Song, my young lady invites you upstairs for a chat."
Song Ning did not refuse and followed her upstairs. She saw Xu Jiaojiao sitting by the window drinking tea. She looked unwell and much more haggard than yesterday.
"Please have a seat, Miss Song."
Song Ning sat opposite Xu Jiaojiao and asked, "Miss Xu, what brings you here?"
Xu Jiaojiao looked at her, her expression somewhat unreadable, and then said calmly, "Song Ning, you're quite pleased with yourself now, aren't you?"
Song Ning: ? What do you mean?
She is indeed very pleased with herself now, because she can earn a lot of money again.
But it's clear that Xu Jiaojiao wasn't referring to that.
"What does Miss Xu mean?"
Isn't Xu Jiaojiao currently riding high? With Xie Linzhou as her husband, her future is definitely bright, right?
After all, Xie Linzhou's family background is exceptionally good, and Xie Linzhou himself... well, he's alright.
Although this era emphasizes matching social status, there are also devoted lovers among the powerful and wealthy, and Xie Linzhou doesn't seem like a scumbag.
But Song Ning didn't expect that just because of her words, Xu Jiaojiao would break down.
"Song Erya!"
Just now it was calling out Song Ning, but suddenly it became Song Er Ya, and she was clearly angry.
"Miss Xu, just say what you want to say. What's the point of just calling me by my name?"
Xu Jiaojiao's originally pale face flushed slightly with anger.
