Chapter 459: 10% Profit
Qin Chuchu looked at Xiaoshan and Xiao Yingying outside through the glass window.
She had known for a long time that Xiaoshan liked reading, but she was still surprised that Xiao Yingying was so dedicated in teaching him.
After all, Xiao Qingyun said that his sister is quite unreliable. Besides being playful, she also likes to eat, otherwise she wouldn't be so fat.
But since I came here, I only spent two days with the old lady in the first few days, and then I have been teaching Xiaoshan to read.
And he is very dedicated, teaching from morning to night, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
After looking for a while, he sat up straight again, fearing that his face would scare them.
He touched his chubby face and blamed himself for being incompetent, otherwise his face wouldn't be in such a bad state.
If they were as capable as the old ladies, they wouldn't have to be so aggressive.
Even if you know some martial arts skills, you won't have to watch helplessly as the basket of white ash falls on your head without even a chance to dodge.
While I was thinking about it, Concubine Jing and Nanny Jiang walked in.
"Chu Chu! What's wrong with your face... Oh, it's okay!"
Concubine Jing stopped talking midway, trying her best to control the twitching of her mouth.
I thought my daughter-in-law's face should have gotten better after such a long time, but it's getting more and more swollen. It's really scary to look at.
As soon as I saw the old woman's expression, I knew what she was thinking, but she still curled her lips.
"Yes, much better! Mother, please sit down!"
"Oh, okay!" Concubine Jing sat on the sofa. When she looked closer, her brows frowned uncontrollably again.
“…………”
The chili powder shouldn't have caused my daughter-in-law's face to swell like this. Maybe it was because of the basket of white ash.
After all, lime can burn your skin.
Thinking of this, she patted Qin Chuchu's shoulder with a guilty look on her face.
"Chu Chu! It's all mother's fault, otherwise that basket of ash wouldn't have fallen on you."
Thinking about it now, I still feel guilty. When my son went to deal with those archers, only I and the nanny were with my daughter-in-law.
When he heard Feng Si's shout, he turned around and saw the basket flying towards him. He instinctively jumped out to avoid it, forgetting that his daughter-in-law was still inside.
If I had brought my daughter-in-law out at that time, she would not have been hit by the basket of ash, and her face might not have been injured so seriously.
Looking at the old woman's face full of guilt, Qin Chuchu waved her big bear paw.
"It's okay, my face is irritated by the chili powder!"
It’s really not the old woman’s fault, after all, the lime had already been washed away.
Besides, in such a critical moment, everyone has to take care of their own life first. There is no reason to blame others. It’s all because of one’s own incompetence. If one had kung fu, one would not have suffered this.
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she grabbed Concubine Jing's hand.
"Mother, how about you teach your daughter-in-law Qinggong?"
She looked at Concubine Jing in front of her with shining eyes. Perhaps because she grinned too loudly, her brows furrowed in pain.
"You want to learn Qinggong?" Concubine Jing looked at her.
She refused to learn last time I taught her, so why does she suddenly want to learn it this time?
"Well, my daughter-in-law wants to learn so that she can protect herself when she encounters danger in the future."
Qin Chuchu nodded seriously, she had made up her mind this time.
After what happened today, she deeply realized that only she can protect herself and pointing fingers at others is unreliable.
Just like today, I thought I was protected by several experts and my safety should be fine.
I never thought that they all ran away suddenly, otherwise I wouldn't have been hit by that basket of white ash.
“…………”Princess Jing said nothing.
He just glanced at Nanny Jiang beside him. Although the two did not speak, they could see the same meaning from each other's eyes.
Looking at the speed at which my daughter-in-law ran today, it was obvious that she had some skills, but she just didn't know how to use them yet.
With a little guidance, it shouldn't be difficult to learn Qinggong.
After all, the situation is not peaceful now, so it would be beneficial to learn some life-saving skills.
Thinking of this, she looked at Qin Chuchu and nodded.
"Okay, Mother promises you."
"Thank you, mother!" Qin Chuchu was delighted.
He was about to grin with his thick lips, but quickly retracted them and frowned in pain.
Just as I was about to apply some more ointment, Aunt Liu came in with Er Zhuangniang and the others.
"Princess, Steward Sun wants to see you."
"Oh, really?" Qin Chuchu put down the ointment in her hand.
"Princess, I wanted to ask how the prices of those things are determined, and what to do with the meat. It's getting hot, and I'm worried it'll go bad!"
Er Zhuangniang stood there very nervously. As soon as she entered the yard, she was amazed by everything in front of her.
I have never seen such a beautiful house. Even the floor is sparkling. I’m afraid of getting it dirty by stepping on it.
Daya and Erya who were following behind were so nervous that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
Seeing how nervous the mother and daughter were, Qin Chuchu slowed down her tone.
"You are the manager of the shop now. Don't call yourself a commoner from now on. Just call yourself a subordinate like them!"
"Yes." Erzhuang's mother nodded in agreement.
"Then you have the purchase order, so you can set the price. Just make a 10% profit. As for the meat..."
Qin Chuchu stopped talking halfway. She really hadn't considered the hot weather. If she had known, she would not have bought so much.
Just as I was thinking about it, Er Zhuangniang asked in surprise.
"Princess, is it only a 10% profit?"
She stared straight at Qin Chuchu in front of her, thinking that she had misheard. Although she was not from a merchant family, she knew a little about it.
For any goods sold, the profit must be at least 40% to 60%, but the princess said that only 10% is made. That doesn’t mean that it is given to everyone for free. It is too much of a loss.
Qin Chuchu was thinking about the meat when she was interrupted by Er Zhuangniang, who looked up at her.
"You heard me right, we only need to add 10% profit."
She had thought of this long ago. Firstly, the people had limited financial resources. Secondly, she opened this shop just to make things convenient for everyone, not to make too much money.
After receiving a positive answer, Er Zhuangniang seemed a little excited and didn't know what to say.
People who do business are eager to make more money, but the princess only wants a 10% profit. It is obvious that she doesn't want to make money, but just wants to make things convenient for everyone.
Qin Chuchu didn't notice Er Zhuangniang's expression, all her thoughts were on the meat.
If it is not dealt with quickly in such hot weather, it will really become smelly. What should I do?
“………………”
Seeing her daughter-in-law's embarrassed look, Concubine Jing also frowned.
This was also a matter she had not considered carefully. If she had thought of it earlier, she would have reminded herself at the market and would not have bought so much meat.
Just as she was thinking about it, Qin Chuchu grinned.
“Got it!!”
