Bai Nuo came to see Jiang San Niang to pick up something. Giving her the gift was just something she did on her way. After all, the store had released new products, and Jiang San Niang and Jiang San Niang were her friends, so Bai Nuo really wanted to share them with them.
"What's up?" Jiang Sanniang asked, stroking the pearls on her earrings with her hand, admiring their smooth texture. "A new one?"
Bai Nuo nodded. "I just made it. You can wear it and play with it!" Bai Nuo laughed.
Looking at the base of the pearl, Jiang Sanniang glanced at the surrounding crowd. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she leaned close to Bai Nuo's ear and whispered, "Where did you get this gold?" She wasn't surprised that Bai Nuo could obtain pearls, as there were countless things in this world she had never seen before, but this gold…
Bai Nuo chuckled and said, "I have my own brilliant plan."
Jiang San Niang understood immediately from her expression and said slyly, "Is it thanks to your young master Hu?"
Bai Nuo nodded, "Yes!" It was all thanks to Hu Mingmei. Hu Mingmei found the small workshop for her. If Hu Mingmei hadn't told her, she would still be tying ropes.
Although those are also beautiful, they can't compare to the nobility of gold.
"That's wonderful!" Jiang San Niang exclaimed, her tone tinged with envy.
If Yu Ziqing had acted the same way, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Bai Nuo looked at her and, hearing her tone, subconsciously glanced at Jiang San Niang. However, seeing that Jiang San Niang wasn't sad but only sighing, he didn't take it to heart and smiled, "You do a good job, and we'll team up later!"
Jiang San Niang nodded.
"I'll put these away!" Seeing that Bai Nuo said they were new items, Jiang San Niang didn't stand on ceremony and put the two boxes away. When Bai Nuo saw that she wanted to put them away, she quickly stopped her, "Why are you putting them away? Let me help you put them on!"
Jiang San Niang followed her lead and pushed the box to Bai Nuo. Jiang Qiao'er's box was casually put into the counter. She leaned slightly closer to Bai Nuo, who reached out and took off the earring from Jiang San Niang's ear. She carefully put the earring through Jiang San Niang's ear piercing and then locked it in place.
"It suits you so well, Sister San Niang! Your earlobes are so beautiful!" Bai Nuo said enviously. Jiang San Niang's earlobes were round and full, and she exuded a gentle temperament. The lustrous pearl earrings hung on both sides of her ears, making her skin look even more delicate and radiant. She also looked very elegant.
"Come visit my shop more often in the future. I have many similar accessories that would suit you perfectly. I'll give you a 20% discount," Bai Nuo said with a smile.
"Oh my, you're really good at business. Should I give you money for this?" Jiang San Niang couldn't help but touch the pearl, smiling as she reached for the money.
Bai Nuo quickly pulled Jiang San Niang back, "This is for you, no need for this."
"Manager Jiang!" The two were chatting and laughing when a woman's voice suddenly broke in from the side. The two stopped talking abruptly and looked at the woman. The woman was also a regular customer of San Niang's Cloth Shop, and Jiang San Niang knew her.
"Sister Zhao, what's wrong? Do you need anything?"
The person whom Jiang San Niang called Sister Zhao pointed somewhat embarrassedly at Jiang San Niang's earrings, "I don't have anything to say, I just wanted to ask where you got these earrings? I really like them!"
If you like something, you want to buy it, so Sister Zhao came to ask Jiang San Niang.
"I don't have this," Jiang Sanniang said with a smile to Bai Nuo. "This was a gift from someone. Here she is. If you like it, just ask her!"
Sister Zhao looked at Bai Nuo expectantly. Bai Nuo was really at her wit's end. She just wanted to give Jiang San Niang something new to make her happy and improve her mood. She really didn't expect to meet a customer here.
But she didn't have any right now, so she could only tell the truth: "Madam, I'm really sorry, Sister San Niang's earrings did come from my shop, but I haven't made that many yet, and I'll have to wait a while."
Sister Zhao was somewhat disappointed, but not entirely so. She looked at Jiang San Niang and saw that the bead in the middle looked very familiar. "This...is it a pearl? You...you are the manager of Duobao Pavilion?"
Only then did Sister Zhao recognize Bai Nuo.
Bai Nuo nodded and smiled, "Sister Zhao, you can come to my place for a visit sometime. The earrings that Third Sister is wearing are a new style from my shop, and there are many more varieties than before."
I never expected to get free publicity here.
"Is this very expensive?" Sister Zhao couldn't help but ask. She also liked pearls, but the cheapest string of pearls at Bai Nuo's place cost twenty or thirty taels of silver. There were really not many people in this town who could afford it.
At least families like hers can't afford it.
"No, it's much cheaper!" Bai Nuo shook her head and smiled. "Like what Third Sister has, three taels of silver is enough!"
Thirty taels of silver might be too much for most people to come up with, but three taels would be much easier to produce.
Especially someone like Sister Zhao, whose clothes and appearance make her look like someone from a well-off family.
The reason why pearl necklaces used to cost so much was because Bai Nuo priced them based on the number of pearls. A single pearl necklace required a certain number of pearls to make, plus processing fees. In the past, they couldn't sell in large quantities, so they charged such high prices. But things are different now. The processing work has been outsourced, so they can sell in large quantities now.
As the saying goes, little by little, great things come from small beginnings.
Upon hearing that it was three taels of silver, Sister Zhao's expression improved considerably. The two agreed on a time, and then Sister Zhao took the fabric and left!
