The group left satisfied.
Sisi gazed at their long, imposing figures, but ultimately said nothing more.
As the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.
It's hard to say whether their moment of triumph is a blessing or a curse.
The person who was causing trouble left, but most of the people who had previously placed orders with her were now in a difficult situation.
"Could there really be something wrong with this medicated oil?"
"Even the manager of Rongchuntang is suspicious; it can't be just a rumor!"
Listening to the whispers around him, he immediately picked up the medicated oil and opened the bottle.
"Everyone, please be quiet..."
"Our Jin Feng brand medicinal oil originates from a century-old formula of an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
“In our village, people from all around rely on this medicated oil for sprains and bruises. It’s been used for generations. If there were any problems, the brand would have been ruined long ago. Don’t worry, the ingredients are absolutely safe and harmless.”
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Words are no proof! How can you prove it?"
Chen Sisi smiled, offered no further explanation, and brought the medicated oil to her lips, tilting her head back to take a sip.
Everyone watched as a third of the medicinal oil in her bottle disappeared, and seeing her swallowing, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This woman is too ruthless..."
That medicinal oil is so spicy, you just drink it like that...
The medicated oil did sting my throat a bit, but it wasn't capsaicin or any irritating medication, so it was nothing to worry about and it went away quickly.
Without even frowning, Chen Sisi proved to everyone that the medicated oil was fine.
"Everyone saw it. If this medicinal oil is poisonous, would I put it in my mouth?"
"Actually, this medicated oil can be used not only externally but also internally. When a person suffers from heatstroke and has a sore throat, they can hold it in their mouth and swallow it slowly."
Chen Sisi tested the drug on herself, which dispelled everyone's concerns.
"Okay, I'll buy it."
"I want one too..."
A crowd surged forward, and Chen Sisi instructed everyone to line up: "Today we're only selling pre-orders... If you didn't get one, don't worry, come register here..."
She gave Cao Hua a wink, and Cao Hua deftly pulled a small notebook from his pocket, bit off the pen cap with his big white teeth, and mumbled, "Come register here..."
In the morning, the whole box of medicinal oil she brought was sold out, and she received many more orders.
Cao Hua instructed Dong Xiaojiang to tell the brothers to carry the medicated oil back and distribute it to the brothers who had made the reservations. He had something to discuss with Shen Sisi alone.
Sisi happily counted her money, her two beautiful eyes shining.
Sales were good today; I made 128 yuan in profit.
"Brother Hua, this is yours..." Shen Sisi first distributed Cao Hua's commission.
This time, due to some structural adjustments, costs were reduced significantly, and the profit margin increased.
Looking at the eighteen yuan in his hand, Cao Hua suddenly realized that this thing was extremely profitable!
Last time the commission was only five yuan, but this time it's eighteen yuan. If we take on those orders worth tens of thousands, we'll make a fortune!
"Sisi, isn't this too much money?" Cao Hua asked, holding the money in his hand.
Chen Sisi waved her hand generously: "Brother Hua, this is nothing, just accept it! Once my oil mill starts operating, our costs will be even lower, and the profits will be even higher..."
Cao Hua couldn't help but give her a thumbs up; this thoughtful woman really had the makings of a businesswoman.
He is also a very straightforward and righteous person.
"Alright, then I'll... accept it!" Cao Hua touched the money in his pocket; it was almost half a month's wages for a worker.
Chen Sisi touched her bulging pockets. She had made seventy-one yuan this time after deducting costs!
But this is just a small profit. Once the oil mill is up and running and everything is on track, then we can talk about making a fortune.
"By the way, Brother Hua, you said you had something to tell me. What is it?"
Reminded by her, Cao Hua finally remembered: "Oh right, I remember that a Hong Kong businessman came that day and my worker accidentally bumped into him. I took your medicated oil and applied it to him. The next day, he took the initiative to come to my door and ask about the medicated oil."
"However, at the same time, the Russian middleman also came up to me. When I heard that the Russian order was a big one, requiring tens of thousands of bottles of medicinal oil, I didn't dare to agree to the Hong Kong businessman's request. Later, he came to ask twice more, and I made excuses to him. If you are interested, I can arrange for you to meet."
So that's what it was about.
After thinking it over, he realized that the other party had visited him three times, showing his sincerity: "Then let's meet! Let's set the meeting place at the state-run restaurant."
"Okay!" After Cao Hua finished speaking, he didn't rush to leave, but accompanied Shen Sisi all the way to the ferry.
“Um… I heard from Xiao Jiang that you’ve already taken over the oil mill.”
"Yes, thanks to you so much..." Shen Sisi thanked him repeatedly. She never expected that Cao Hua would help her time and time again after they had only met by chance.
Although the oil mill was mainly handled by Gu Chengfeng and Feng Yanzhou, Cao Hua also sent Dong Xiaojiang to provide support, which Shen Sisi kept in mind.
Cao Hua felt embarrassed, as he hadn't really been of much help.
Knowing that Cheng Biao was a local tyrant, he reminded Shen Sisi to be careful.
“Over the years, very few people have been able to snatch things from Cheng Biao; you’re the first,” Cao Hua said. “My men are mainly at the dock, not on the other side, and even further from the alley. I’m worried he might do something to you…”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a deep and powerful voice boomed in my ear like muffled thunder.
"You don't need to worry about that..." Gu Chengfeng rushed over. Hearing that Shen Sisi was surrounded by people at the dock, his heart was in his throat, and he hurried over as fast as he could.
