Chapter 241: Collided Again
Jiang Wan got off the boat at the ferry with a bunch of things she had bought. She was lucky enough to meet Lian Qiao and a little girl.
With help, her beehive finally made it home safely.
After putting her things down, she noticed that the little girl next to Lian Qiao was always staring at her intently.
"What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with my face?"
Before Xiaoyu could say anything, Lianqiao pulled her and introduced her to Jiang Wan, "Xiaowan, this is my sister Xiaoyu. She is always curious about you when she hears me and my mother talk about you."
Jiang Wan touched his face. It just had one nose and two eyes. What was he curious about?
"Hello, little fish~"
Xiaoyu is a little older than Jiang Wan. She acts domineeringly towards her brother at home, but when she saw Jiang Wan, she felt a little embarrassed. She just called out "Xiaowan" softly and followed her brother away.
Jiang Wan was left in a fog.
————————
"Why did you push me? Didn't you always ask to see Xiao Wan? When you saw her, you didn't say anything and pushed me. I still have something to say to Xiao Wan."
Lian Qiao complained a lot, but when he came to his senses, he didn't hear his little sister's noise. He turned around and saw her still standing at the fork in the road, staring at Jiang Wan's house in a daze.
"Little fish!"
After calling several times, the little fish finally caught up.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at the beautiful house."
Xiaoyu's eyes were sparkling. It was the first time she stepped into that yard today, and everything inside was so beautiful.
"Brother, Xiaowan's brick house is so beautiful. When can you build one for your family?"
Lianqiao: “…”
"Face the reality. Your elder brother is not that powerful. If you want to live in a brick house and wait for my son to come out, don't count on him."
“…”
The little fish pouted.
"I will be married by the time my nephew comes out, and I won't be able to live in a brick house even if you build one."
"Aren't you ashamed to always talk about getting married at such a young age?"
"What's the big deal? Everyone has to get married when they reach a certain age, and I'm here to show you a wife."
"What!!! What did you just say? Say it again?"
The brother and sister chased each other, and there was another commotion when they got home.
——————————
It was almost noon, and Jiang Wan put things away and cooked lunch.
She prepared several bamboo tubes of rice because there were two big eaters in the family.
Yes, Li Xiao and Li Man haven't left yet.
The fever had subsided, but then it suddenly flared up again. This happened over and over again, so my mother kept me in the pharmacy.
Two grown men eat a lot in one meal, almost equivalent to the meal for eight people in the family.
Jiang Wan now has to cook a full pot of rice before she can eat it.
She wasn't in the mood to be unhappy. After all, the herbs and meat Uncle Anan had given her were worth a lot of money, so she could eat them for free for a month.
Moreover, one is Anan’s uncle, and the other is a member of Anan’s tribe. They are guests and should be entertained.
Jiang Wan subconsciously glanced at the door of the pharmacy. They had been together every day for the past few days, and she had no idea if her mother and the Li tribe leader had any quarrels.
She was very curious and wanted to eat the melon.
It's a pity that A'niang and the Li chief are usually very serious, and it's hard to tell what they are thinking.
Of course, it is also possible that nothing happened between the two of them.
After lunch, Baozhu and Anan were responsible for cleaning the kitchen, while Li Xiao squatted outside to boil medicine for his good brother.
Jiang Wan then took out the pile of rouge and powder she had bought and showed them to A Niang one by one.
"Look, mother, can you tell what it's made of? How does it compare to ours?"
Yin Huaixi washed her hands, scooped a little jade cream and rubbed it on the back of her hands.
"The skin feels not soft enough, so I added a little osmanthus to make it fragrant. There are also white ginseng, cimicifuga, and fangfeng..."
She could not smell much of the ingredients, but she could roughly know the specific function of the ointment.
"It's a moisturizing effect."
Yin Huaixi dug a little more and pushed it open to take a closer look.
"The cream is not fine enough, probably because it was not sieved well when it was ground. The specific effect will be felt in the evening. But it is definitely not as good as ours. How much is this?"
Jiang Wan raised a finger.
Of course Yin Huaixi didn't think it was only a hundred coins. His eyebrows twitched and he exclaimed in surprise: "One tael of silver?"
"It seems a bit expensive, right? But I was only in the store for about 25 minutes and saw three people buying this."
"Sure enough, it's easy to make money from skin care products..."
Yin Huaixi made a rough calculation and found that the cost was only about 100 coins. It was definitely impossible to be more than 150 coins.
This cost actually doubled when it was sold.
It's so profitable, it's exciting.
Yin Huaixi checked other things again, and the most surprising thing appeared.
"This lip rouge paper costs three silver coins a box!!"
There are 20 sheets in a box of rouge paper. Rough paper is very cheap, and this kind of paper cut into small pieces is naturally even cheaper.
Twenty pieces are probably two large pieces.
It's just a few cents.
This kind of lip tint paper is cut into a pile and placed directly in the dyeing pool for repeated dyeing and drying before it can be sold.
The cost is less than ten cents, but it is sold for three hundred cents.
This way of "stealing money" is worthy of a businessman.
If it were her, she might just offer a hundred cents, which still wouldn't be good enough.
"I have a rough idea of these things. I'll make a list tonight and compare them with our products, and then set the price."
Yin Huaixi finally left with a jar of beauty powder in her arms. She also wanted to study this treasure of the store carefully.
Six ounces of silver is not a small sum. If it is worth this much, there must be something extraordinary about it. It is worth studying carefully.
Everyone in the family had their own things to do and they were soon busy.
At night, when it was quiet, Anan had already gone to Baozhu's house to sleep with her.
The mother and daughter tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, discussing skin care products.
Coconut oil is really a good thing. Instead of wasting it, it would be better to use it to make money and let the villagers earn some money together. So Jiang Wan has decided to do it.
She secretly counted her own small treasury and found that there were nearly 600 taels in it. It was definitely enough to buy coconut oil and other things. She also had enough money to buy a shop in the city.
With A Niang's support, Jiang Wan is full of confidence in his own products.
The mother and daughter couldn't sleep, and Li Xiao in the pharmacy wasn't asleep either.
Because of his brother's injury, he will be able to walk on his own by tomorrow. If he can walk on his own, it means they should leave.
It’s not easy to go down the mountain.
Melancholy...
In the quiet night, suddenly the two puppies in the kitchen started barking one after another.
Niu Nai and Hua Hua have already found their home and are very familiar with the people there. We have never heard them call us at night.
Li Xiao was startled and immediately got off the bench and went out to check.
Um?!
He heard footsteps outside the wall!!
