Chapter 263 Want to Rent an Island
Jiang Wan's mouth was dry after talking for a while. When she came back after drinking some water, she saw Qin Yue's eyes were glued to the pile of bottles and jars.
"Xiao Wan, if I buy all of these at once, how much would it cost?"
Qin Yue was worried that the money she brought was not enough.
After all, the effects that Jiang Wan just described were so tempting. Which woman wouldn't want to have one after hearing them?
"this……"
Jiang Wan saw that Qin Yue wanted to buy a whole set, and was a little embarrassed to mention the price, because except for the lotion, she had set a very high price for everything else.
For example, that bottle of facial mask cream can be used about ten times, and her price is two taels of silver.
Products like scrubs, which can be felt immediately after use, are priced higher. A jar costs five taels of silver.
If any lady is extravagant and uses it all over her body, it will be gone after two uses.
The main feature is a black heart, no no no, it’s the exquisite packaging.
"Sister Qin, the raw materials for these things are a bit expensive, so the price is relatively high. If you want to buy a whole set, it will cost about fifty taels..."
This price is the result of Jiang Wan not raising the price unscrupulously.
Qin Yue's eyes widened and she subconsciously covered her purse.
Fifty taels!!
My father's monthly salary is only fifty taels! !
It will definitely hurt to spend this money.
There were a total of twenty taels of silver in her purse. She was quite excited when she came, but now she was dumbfounded.
Jiang Wan held back her smile and looked at Qin Yuan.
"What do you think, Manager Qin?"
Qin Yuan was not surprised at all and smiled.
"Miss Jiang, I think fifty taels a set is a little low."
Qin Yue:!!!
What?!
What is Shopkeeper Qin talking about? !
Fifty taels per set is only slightly lower? How much should this set be sold for?
Do you want to sell it for one hundred taels?
It’s jaw-dropping just to think about it.
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows and thought, Tsk tsk, she met someone who is more black-hearted than her, no, someone who is better at business than her.
Shopkeeper Qin is worthy of being Shopkeeper Qin.
"Miss Jiang, I wonder how many complete sets of these skin care products you have in stock?"
Shopkeeper Qin's eyes were gleaming with the desire to do something big, but unfortunately, Jiang Wan didn't have much stock, which poured cold water on his desire.
"There are only about ten of the complete set. There are quite a lot of hair oils, and about 20 to 30 lotions."
The light in Qin Yuan's eyes suddenly dimmed halfway.
What kind of splash can ten sets make? If you take them to Yongzhou, you’ll need more than ten sets just to give away the people.
It would be funny if after giving away all the products, you have nothing to sell at home.
"Miss Jiang, when can you prepare more?"
"It will probably take five or six days. The bottles and cans I ordered haven't arrived yet, and the problem of raw materials hasn't been solved yet."
When it comes to raw materials, the main one is coconut oil.
"I'll go to the county government with you guys later. I have something to discuss with Lord Qin."
Jiang Wan wanted to find Lord Qin to rent the coconut island.
Now you don’t have to rent a coconut, you can still go to the island to pick coconuts. Anyway, everyone can pick them.
That was eaten, and no one would say anything. But if she made money from using coconuts, people with ulterior motives would definitely use it to argue with her.
It is said that the islands are ownerless, but as long as they are within the territory of the current imperial court, they belong to the court and the emperor.
Just like the island that Lian Yue rented, as long as it is used to make money, you still have to sign a contract to feel at ease.
Just pay more taxes. With that little bit of rent and tax, you can sell a few sets of skin care products.
If you are greedy and don't want to spend money, you may get into big trouble in the future.
Jiang Wan still wanted to be more cautious.
"Xiao Wan, I have twenty taels here. How about you help me choose which ones to buy?"
Jiang Wan came to her senses and did not refuse, but started to help Qin Yue choose.
She definitely needed anti-freckle cream, facial mask, and hair oil. She had observed that Qin Yue and her mother's hair didn't look very good.
The weather in the north is dry, and the mother and daughter had no money to take good care of themselves. Their lives only got better after Lord Qin took office.
With the hair oil and their dietary regimen, I believe the hair will be well maintained soon.
After Jiang Wan helped Qin Yue choose, she found a small basket for her to put the items in, and then took out some other things from the cabinet, which were two very beautiful porcelain boxes.
"Xiao Wan, what is this?"
"This is for you and your mother."
Jiang Wan opened a porcelain box, revealing a bright red perfume inside. At first glance, it looked a bit like ink, but it smelled much more fragrant.
She let Qin Yue apply a little on the back of her hand.
"What a beautiful color! It feels so moist. Is this rouge?"
"No, it's lip balm."
Last time Jiang Wan bought a big beehive. After taking out the honey from it, she smashed the beehive and boiled it to make a jar of beeswax.
For someone like her who knows a little about handicraft, of course she knows that beeswax can be used to make lipstick.
But my mother said that this thing was a good medicine that could fight bacteria, reduce inflammation, detoxify and relieve pain, so she took half of it away.
For the remaining half, she mixed some red and blue flowers to create a little color, and added beeswax to make lipstick.
However, the current conditions are limited and there is no lipstick tube, so she directly divides it into a porcelain box. When using it, just pick a little and apply it on the lips.
"This color suits your mother, it makes her look more healthy. This color is a little lighter, it's suitable for you."
Jiang Wan made very few, so she didn't plan to buy any and only gave them to people close to her.
Qin Yue was so moved that tears came out. She put away the two small porcelain boxes like a baby.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaowan!"
Qin Yuan looked jealous.
"Miss Jiang, I see this lip balm is bright in color. It will definitely sell well if we sell it. Do you have it in stock?"
Jiang Wan shook her head, also feeling very regretful.
"There are only a few boxes in total, and I gave them all away. To make this thing, you need beeswax. Does Shopkeeper Qin know about beeswax? It is something that can only be found in beehives. One beehive can make about dozens of boxes, but beehives are difficult to make, so I don't plan to sell this."
At present, no one dares to raise bees. If you want to build a beehive, you have to go into the mountains. If you are not careful, you will get a lot of bruises on your head, and you may even lose your life.
So Jiang Wan really admires the uncle who sells beehives.
Huh?
Going into the mountains...
Jiang Wan suddenly thought of Anan’s tribesmen in the deep mountains.
They live in the mountains all year round, so they must have come across a beehive, right?
They must like something sweet like honey. I wonder if they know how to make a beehive. I'll ask Uncle Anan next time he comes.
If you don't want the honey yourself, just collect the beehives. There should be a chance you can get some.
Qin Yuan listened to Jiang Wan's words, but there was no disappointment in his eyes.
Since he wanted beehives, he would go back and ask around to see if he could get a large number of them.
If possible, I will come to discuss it with Miss Jiang. This time I came mainly to sign the cooperation contract for those skin care products.
However, Jiang Wan has to go to the county government office today, and everyone is going to see Lord Qin, so why not just go together? Lord Qin is here, so there is no need to communicate back and forth.
So the three of them took their things and took a boat to the city and entered the county government office.
When Jiang Wan saw Lord Qin, he told him the purpose of his visit.
"What? You want to rent an island?!"
Qin Zhen even forgot to drink the water, his mind was full of thoughts about what he could do by renting an island.
