"What a coincidence! I was just about to come find you." Shen Sisi took a net bag of farm eggs out of the basket, which she had specially brought for Cao Hua.
"Is this for me?"
"Yes, you can have it!"
Cao Hua was flattered and surprised. He reached out and hooked the fine net around the egg. The annoyance of a busy morning vanished instantly, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you. We've known each other for so long, and I've never given you anything in return."
"But you saved my life..."
Chen Sisi told him not to be so polite: "By the way, what did you want to talk to me about earlier?"
Cao Hua then remembered: "I wanted to tell you to thank you for ordering those 15 bottles of medicated oil for me; my brothers from back then practically snatched them all up."
"They all thought it was great after using it, and we got nearly a hundred orders."
"Nearly a hundred?" Shen Sisi's eyes almost popped out of her head.
Is there such a large demand for this medicinal oil?
How many brothers does Cao Hua actually have...?
"Brother Hua, you're really something!" Chen Sisi's mind was filled with a rain of gold coins.
She had expected about 10 or 20 people to place an order, but she didn't expect nearly 100 orders. Adding the orders from the uncle, it would keep her busy for a while.
“However…” Cao Hua changed the subject, looking at Chen Sisi with difficulty.
"But what?"
He should think carefully and tell him to tell the truth without any reservations.
Cao Hua pursed his lips: "Um... they have a small suggestion, could you make some smaller bottles?"
"Firstly, the price can be cheaper, and secondly, it's convenient to carry."
"As you can see, when they're at work, they have to carry goods in and out, so it's inconvenient for them to carry a big bottle."
Chen Sisi was also thinking about the issue of improvement.
It's not a big change, it's just a different bottle.
“No problem, I’ll arrange things here. I’ll leave the rest to you,” Shen Sisi said.
Cao Hua felt that Shen Sisi was being too polite: "It's only right that I go to the trouble, after all, this is my business, isn't it?"
During this period, he has really spared no effort in promoting the medicated oil for meditation.
He gave a small amount to each of the ship owners who ran cargo shipping businesses.
Without exception, everyone who has used it says it's great.
Several business owners have even sent people to inquire about this matter with him.
However, things haven't come to fruition yet, and he doesn't plan to reveal it for the time being, fearing that Shen Sisi might be disappointed.
We'll let her know the good news when it's all set in stone.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Shen Sisi called out to him twice, "Brother Hua, Brother Hua?"
He snapped out of his daze: "What's wrong? Where were we?"
Chen Sisi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in something."
Before he could reply, a high-pitched, youthful voice boomed in his ear.
"Of course I'm thinking of you..."
Dong Xiaojiang was grinning wickedly when he suddenly sensed a murderous intent coming from him.
He quickly corrected himself: "I miss your work!"
Chen Sisi's heart nearly jumped into her throat: "Don't talk so dramatically!"
Cao Hua's face turned bright red. She glanced cautiously at Chen Sisi, whose face was also flushed, her eyes filled with a mixture of relief and reproach.
Even when she's angry, she's still so beautiful!
"Ahem!" He coughed twice. "That brat is just like that. He's never serious, he doesn't study, and all he does is follow me to the docks. He's been corrupted by these roughnecks."
Chen Sisi has always been curious about how old Dong Xiaojiang really is.
He looks like a little kid.
Cao Hua glared at Dong Xiaojiang: "Isn't it just a child?"
Dong Xiaojiang was very dissatisfied with this. He just looked young, so why did everyone treat him like a child?
"I'm 18 now..."
"18? I think you're at most 3 years old, no older than that." Cao Hua reached out and shoved him: "Have you finished unloading the goods? Don't slack off."
"Zhou the Skinflint..." He glared at Cao Hua resentfully, then hid behind Shen Sisi: "Shen Sisi, you have to protect me..."
"Hmph!" Shen Sisi feigned annoyance, raising her eyebrows. "You won't even call me 'sister,' and you expect me to help you?"
Dong Xiaojiang immediately changed his tune, calling out in the sweetest voice, "Sister Sisi~ my dear sister~ I was just afraid of making you sound old."
Shen Sisi never expected that after just a few meetings, Dong Xiaojiang would go from being her adversary to a sweet-talking younger brother.
"Alright, stop joking around. Your sister Sisi and I have something to talk about."
Dong Xiaojiang was trying to find ways to slack off and didn't want to go to work: "Moving and recording goods is too boring, just let me rest!"
Cao Hua was at a loss for what to do with him: "Go away."
Chen Sisi held Niu Niu's hand and quietly watched them play.
Then let's continue with the previous topic.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you, how many people have paid the deposit?" Shen Sisi's little calculations started running again.
There are still many places where you'll need to spend money.
Not only do we need to buy oil and medicinal herbs, but we also need to find a batch of small glass jars.
We also need to contact a printing factory to print out his Golden Phoenix brand labels so they can be pasted on the bottles.
Otherwise, she would have been painting each bottle by hand for ages, and she even broke the bottle last night.
Everything requires money, lots and lots of money.
Cao Hua knew that the deposit was very important to her, so she didn't dare to be careless: "Don't worry, leave the deposit to me. I will collect it all by tomorrow morning. Come to the dock to find me then."
Chen Sisi was amazed; Cao Hua's ability to act was extraordinary.
