Chapter 97 Tips
The waiter from Baiweizhai also hurried back to the restaurant with cakes.
"Boss, this is bad! Jiang said that today is the last time they will supply us. After today, they will not supply us anymore!" As soon as they returned to the restaurant, the waiter hurried to see Boss Song.
Shopkeeper Song's face was gloomy.
Although he had thought about this day when he had instructed the chef to secretly make the same pastries as Jiang Tangtang's and sell them to various teahouses and restaurants, he was still very unhappy when Jiang Tangtang really said that she would stop supplying them!
A hint of mockery and contempt flashed in his eyes. He put down the cup heavily and said, "Short-sighted woman!"
"Boss, what should we do now?" The waiter said, "I see that the Jiang family has also come to the city. I wonder if they are coming to the county to seek cooperation with other restaurants."
However, he was driving a horse-drawn carriage, which was faster than Jiang Tangtang's donkey cart, so he arrived at the county town earlier.
Shopkeeper Song said, "Find someone to keep an eye on her and see which restaurant she contacts next!"
Elsewhere, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shili also drove their donkey carts to the Jiuxia Silver Shop. Jiang Tangtang said, "I'm going inside to talk to the owner of the silver shop now. Do you have anything to do? If so, go ahead and do it."
Lu Shili thought about it and realized that he really had something to do, so he said, "Sister-in-law, please don't leave immediately after discussing with the owner of the silver shop. Wait for me to come back."
"Got it!" Jiang Tangtang said goodbye to Lu Shili with a smile and entered Jiuxia Silver Shop.
"Sister Jiang!" Chu Mingyu's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Tangtang.
"What do you think of these two things?" Jiang Tangtang said as she carefully opened the bundle and took out the aloe vera gel and scented candle respectively.
Chu Mingyu was instantly attracted by the scented candles. "Sister Jiang, what is this? It's so beautiful."
"This is an aromatherapy candle. It not only illuminates but also helps you sleep. It also has a floral scent when it burns." Jiang Tangtang said, "Why don't you ask someone to bring a tinder and try lighting it."
Chu Mingyu took the scented candle and looked at it carefully, and said reluctantly: "It looks so beautiful, did you really light it? I think it's also very nice to just put it on display like this."
Jiang Tangtang understood Chu Mingyu's childish mentality very well.
Not to mention that she was an ancient person who had never seen scented candles, even as a modern person, when she saw the scented candles in the store, she couldn't let them go. She bought a lot of them to display at home, not for anything else, just because they looked good.
However, in order to test the effect of the scented candle, Jiang Tangtang still said: "How can we know the effect of the candle without lighting it?"
After hearing Jiang Tangtang say this, Chu Mingyu reluctantly called the maid to bring over the fire starter.
Jiang Tangtang tried two scented candles separately.
After lighting it, I found that the scented candles with flower petals blended into the wax are more fragrant when lit, while the ones that just insert dried flowers on the candles for decorative effect are not as good.
Chu Mingyu held up the bowl of dried flower-decorated candles and said, "Although this one isn't as fragrant, I still prefer this one. Let's use this as a gift for the opening of the silver shop! Sister Jiang, how much do you plan to sell this candle for?"
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "There's still one thing I haven't seen yet! Have you made your decision yet?"
Chu Mingyu then remembered that Jiang Tangtang had taken out three things in total. She looked at another unremarkable jar on the table and asked, "What is this?"
"This is a beauty cream. Since it's made of aloe vera, I call it aloe vera gel." Jiang Tangtang said as he opened the lid to show her.
Chu Mingyu wrinkled his nose and sniffed, "It has a light fragrance, which smells quite pleasant."
In fact, Jiang Tangtang did not add any fragrance to the aloe vera gel. The fragrance she mentioned was the original smell of aloe vera. And because the aloe vera was planted in the space and was nourished by spiritual energy, Chu Mingyu felt refreshed when he smelled it.
"Sister Jiang, can I try it?" Girls all love to be pretty, and Chu Mingyu was not surprised. When she heard that it had beauty-enhancing effects, she wanted to try it immediately.
Jiang Tangtang said, "First, clean your face, then apply it evenly. It's best to use it at night. Wait until the aloe vera gel dries before going to bed. Wash your face the next morning. Use it a few times and you'll feel the difference."
"No wonder your face is so soft and smooth, Sister Jiang. You know so much." After hearing that it would be most effective if used at night, Chu Mingyu retracted his hand.
Jiang Tangtang pretended to be angry, "Little girl, you're teasing me."
Chu Mingyu hugged Jiang Tangtang and flattered her, "No, I'm serious, Sister Jiang, your skin is so good. You said this beauty cream must be very effective, I can't bear to put it in the shop as a giveaway. How are you going to sell this aloe vera gel? Sell it to me!"
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "Do you still need to buy it? I'll give it to you."
"How can that be? Sister, this beauty cream is obviously not cheap. I can't take advantage of you."
Even though Chu Mingyu pulls Jiang Tangtang and acts like a little girl next door, as the young master of Jiuxia Silver Shop, how could she be stupid?
She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't Sister Jiang make a few more bottles and sell them in my shop for me? If people see the good results I get from using them, they'll definitely come to me for more information."
Jiang Tangtang had originally planned to do so, so she wouldn't shirk her responsibility. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Chu!"
After this conversation, both of them basically understood that the gifts in the shop were definitely scented candles.
However, the details such as the price of the candles and how they will be presented have yet to be finalized.
Chu Mingyu took the initiative and said, "I ordered scented soap from Ningxianglou for one tael and eight qian of silver. Later, Ningxianglou failed to deliver on time and compensated me with double the price. I will give all this money to you, sister. Will you give me two hundred scented candles when the time comes?"
An aromatherapy candle costs more than three taels and nearly four silver coins. This price is indeed expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.
But beeswax is not cheap, and the cost of the porcelain lamps must be deducted. In addition, the dried flowers in the space are unique in the world. Jiang Tangtang feels that the scented candles she makes are completely worth the price.
Therefore, she did not pretend to refuse, but agreed frankly.
However, he suggested, "Scented candles are more novel than scented soaps, and their quality is also higher. I think we should change the gifting method we previously agreed on. Instead of buying one and giving one away, let's change it to giving each member of Jiuxia Silver House a scented candle!"
"Member?" Chu Mingyu asked puzzledly.
"On the opening day, anyone who spends over 100 taels will become a member of Jiuxia Silver House and receive a free calming aromatherapy candle. Every member—"
Jiang Tangtang originally wanted to say that every member could receive a mysterious gift on their birthday, but considering that women's birthdays in ancient times could not be disclosed casually, she changed it to "Every year on the Qiqiao Festival, members can come to the shop to receive a mysterious gift."
