Chapter 107 Western Region Merchants



So the big and the small started arguing, and Jiang Tuantuan kept saying, "Let's eat meat and pancakes. Yubao, be good. I'll take you to see it after I finish eating."

Our Yubao definitely wouldn't agree. He was originally just pointing with his arm, but now his whole body is leaning over there. Holding this two-year-old baby is already tiring enough, and he keeps moving around.

Jiang Tuantuan was anxious!

He said angrily, "If you don't listen, I won't take you with me anywhere. You can stay at home with your father."

When he heard this, he immediately became timid. He didn't want to stay at home all the time. He still liked to go out and play. He immediately hugged his mother's neck obediently.

The little head tilted and leaned on the mother's shoulder.

I bought the meat pie I had been craving for. When I took a bite, the gravy burst out immediately. It was so delicious.

Yubao was so greedy that his mouth was watering, but his mother only tore off a small piece for him to eat because she was afraid that he would get an upset stomach and not be able to digest it.

I can only bear it!

After finishing the cake, Jiang Tuantuan carried him to the stall of the Western Region merchant.

There were many kinds of decorations made of stones on the stall, some in the shape of various small animals. Yubao was very curious. He took one that looked like a little rabbit, then another that looked like a little tiger, and was also looking at the one in front that looked like a little lion. He wanted almost all of them.

Jiang Tuantuan said, "You can't buy them all. You can only choose one."

Yubao gave him a pitiful look, and Jiang Tuantuan said, "You can only buy one."

The sentence had been repeated twice, so Yubao had no choice but to squat on the ground and choose carefully.

The stall owner looked at the mother and child in front of him, especially the mother, whose skin was very good, white with a rosy glow, and looked very tender, not like she had given birth to a child at all.

He couldn't help but admire: "Madam is really a natural beauty, with such good skin, you can't tell that she is a mother who has given birth to a child."

"Thank you for the compliment, stall owner."

Jiang Tuantuan responded politely.

The stall owner seemed to feel that he was misunderstood. He was giving the compliment sincerely, not to sell her son another stone ornament.

He quickly explained, "Madam, please don't misunderstand me. I sincerely feel that your skin is good. I'm not trying to get close to you or sell you something. The skin of women in our Western Regions isn't very fair and tender in their teens. It's also due to the environment, being too close to the desert."

Hearing this and looking at the stall owner's appearance, it seemed that he really wasn't trying to sell anything, so Jiang Tuantuan took the opportunity to sell some of his own stuff.

"Actually, it's because I use pearl cream. It not only moisturizes but also whitens my skin, so my skin looks so good."

The stall owner asked, "What is pearl cream? What does moisturizing mean? I've never heard of it before."

Seeing his interest, Jiang Tuantuan patiently explained, "This pearl cream is made by mixing pearls with a lot of other good things. It feels sticky and smooth. It moisturizes your face and keeps it soft and hydrated."

After this explanation, the stall owner understood that the pearl was a good thing. It was really luxurious to put it on one's face. It seemed that although the woman in front of him was stingy with her son and had no servants, she must be a lady from a wealthy family.

Otherwise, how could you afford such a good thing?

Jiang Tuan Tuan then said, "Stall owner, you don't know, but this pearl cream was developed by me. Many people are using it now. Go to the capital and ask around; many wealthy ladies are using it. Princess Ming Man, do you know about it?"

The stall owner nodded: "I know, the most noble princess."

Jiang Tuantuan said proudly, "She's using it too."

Hearing this, the stall owner was very surprised and felt very suspicious. A princess of such a noble status was actually using it. Could she be a liar, deliberately bringing a child to deceive me?

Jiang Tuantuan knew it was unrealistic to expect him to believe it all of a sudden, so she didn't rush him. Instead, she patiently advised, "Everyone in this world loves beauty, not to mention women. The women in the Western Regions must also want to become more beautiful. If pearl cream were available, they would definitely be eager to buy it and use it."

After saying this, Yubao also picked out the stone he wanted. Jiang Tuantuan took out some silver from his purse and gave it to the stall owner, saying, "I'm only here temporarily for half a month, and then I'll go back to the capital. If you're interested, come to the capital. There's a shop called Jiangyue Pavilion, and you can find me there."

Without waiting for the stall owner to recover, Jiang Tuantuan carried Yubao away. Glancing at the horizon, he saw that the sun was about to set, so it was time to go home.

As soon as Jiang Tuantuan left, the stall owner packed up his shop and stopped selling. He had to quickly check whether the news was true.

His business acumen allowed him to see an opportunity to make money.

Relying on the connections he had accumulated over the years, he quickly found out about pearl cream, and that it was sold in Baiyang County, but only fifty bottles were sold each month, a very small quantity.

The seller was the Zhou family caravan. He had heard of this caravan, which was considered one of the largest caravans in the mainland. It seemed that what he heard today was half right.

In order to verify whether it was really useful, he decided to buy a can to try it out. It turned out that one can cost five taels of silver, which was like robbery. But he still bought a can with a painful heart. When he bought it, he was told that the validity period was only two months and it could not be used after the expiration.

I went home that night and didn't even eat. I couldn't wait to wash my face. After washing my face, I picked up the jar and took a closer look. There was the word "Jiang" written on the bottom. The jar looked very good.

As soon as I opened the jar, I smelled a faint milky aroma and a milky white texture. I gently scooped out a little and touched my face.

This feeling is so magical.

The stall owner couldn't help but open his eyes wide, took a little more and touched his hand, and instantly felt that it became tender.

What should I do? I, a man, am about to fall in love.

After a night, when he woke up in the morning, he felt that he looked better than before. After washing his face, he applied pearl cream. He planned to try it for half a month. If the effect was really that good, he would go to Jiangyue Pavilion in Beijing. It would be a big loss if he didn't do this business.

When Jiang Tuantuan returned home at night, he didn't think about anything and fell asleep immediately, even faster than Yubao.

Because I took care of the children all day today, I was so tired, even more tired than making money.

Jiang Dafeng looked at the light in his daughter's room, which had been turned off, and sighed, "She finally understands how hard it is to raise a child!"

Because they were worried about Jiang Tuantuan going to Fujiang County alone from Baiyang County, everyone decided to wait until Jiang Li and Jiang An finished their exams, and then go back together for five days. They would come back after the results came out.

Jiang Tuantuan is living a comfortable life, but Hua He is not so comfortable.

Since they knew their destination was the same, the man traveled with Hua He. When they arrived in Baiyang County, they stayed in the same post station.
