Gu Xin selected soap and shampoo and explained again.
Madam Xie calculated in her mind again.
If they source their goods from Gujia, taking 500 pieces of each item and 500 sets of shampoo and conditioner each time, after deducting travel expenses, labor costs, shop rent, etc., they will only make a profit.
Just from the soap and shampoo that Gu Xin mentioned, you can make money, not to mention toothpaste, toothbrushes, and the newly launched conditioner.
Their Yuzhou Prefecture is wealthier than Qingzhou Prefecture. Yuzhou is a major silk-producing prefecture, and among the prefectures in the direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yuzhou is the best.
Back then, both Qingzhou and Yuzhou were short of prefects, and both her husband and Su's husband wanted to come to Yuzhou.
Fortunately, the Xie family had connections with Empress Dowager Jiang; otherwise, they would be the ones in Qingzhou now.
Gu Xin and Gu Hui remained unhurried, watching Madam Xie do mental arithmetic.
Xie Zhiyi was the most anxious. She tried to count on her fingers, but couldn't figure it out. She could only gently shake her mother's arm.
Madam Xie was at her wits' end with Xie Zhiyi, and she couldn't scold her in front of outsiders: "Zhiyi, stop making a scene. Learn from Miss Gu. You're a grown woman now, you need to be more composed!"
Xie Zhiyi: "Isn't composure something you should only show in front of strangers? Xinxin and I are friends, why should I be composure?"
Madam Xie: "..."
When Gu Xin heard the word "friend," a pretty young lady popped into her mind.
Xiaoyu, where are you now? Are you doing well?
Seeing Gu Xin lost in thought, Gu Hui gently nudged Gu Xin with her foot as she turned to serve tea.
Gu Xin snapped out of her daze, put on that flawless smile again, and straightened her back.
Madam Xie asked, "Miss Gu, are you and your sisters really capable of making decisions?"
Gu Xin: "Yes, I have brought the contract. Madam Xie can take a look. If it is feasible, we can ask Lord Xie to be our witness. Then, Madam Xie, please send someone with me to Qingzhou, and we can find Lord Su to be our witness. After all, our two parties are from two different prefectures. If there are any problems in the future, we can solve them together."
Madam Xie chuckled: "You little rascal, you really do remember what we say at home, and you never suffer a loss!"
Gu Xin smiled and said, "One should never suffer a loss, nor should one take advantage of others! That's why I suggested that the two local government offices record this. If only the Qingzhou government office records it, wouldn't I be taking advantage of Madam Xie?"
Madam Xie: "How old is Miss Gu this year? She looks about the same age as Zhiyi, but her temperament is no less than that of the older sister next to you."
Gu Xin: "This humble girl has already celebrated her eleventh birthday at the beginning of the year."
Xie Zhiyi's eyes lit up: "Hehe, Xinxin, I'm older than you! I celebrated my eleventh birthday at the end of last year. You have to call me 'older sister' from now on!"
Gu Xin readily agreed: "Okay, thank you, sister."
Xie Zhiyi was taken aback, not expecting Gu Xin to be so obedient. "Oh dear," she thought, "I've already adopted her as my sister, I can't let Mother nag like this." She turned and grabbed Madam Xie's arm, shaking it again: "Mother, please say yes to Xin Xin! Xin Xin is my sister now, please say yes! Besides, the products in the toiletries set are so good, we can even make money from them! Mother~"
Madam Xie felt her hand was about to fall off from being shaken so much, so she patted her and said, "Then go and bring the contract from Xin Xin over for your mother to see. Even brothers should keep clear accounts. Just because you two have just become sisters doesn't mean I can just agree to anything without considering the consequences!"
