Chapter 39: A Small Profit



Li Jingchen said sarcastically, "You didn't even say you were going to give it to me, but you wanted to give it to someone else."

Jiang Tuantuan was confused. "Why should I give it to you? You can just use mine. I'm not forbidding you."

Li Jingchen wanted to continue arguing, but he didn't know what to say. Besides, the other person had saved Tuantuan's life when she gave birth, so he could only sulk for no reason.

Arriving at Tongji Clinic, only the owner and Su Qingming were inside. "Huh? Why are there so few people in the clinic today?"

Su Qingming turned around and saw Jiang Tuantuan, and immediately smiled, "My father took two apprentices to the Shi family to treat Master Shi."

Jiang Tuantuan said "oh" indifferently, and it took him a while to realize that Mr. Shi was the one who ran the casino, and I had won a lot of money from him.

"I came here today to give you some pearl cream. I just made it a few days ago. It can whiten and moisturize your skin. If you use it for a long time, it can make your skin more tender. You must use it up within two months."

Su Qingming's eyes lit up. "Too good a thing exists in this world! I'll respectfully obey your order. Thank you, Miss Jiang."

Li Jingchen snorted disdainfully from behind, and Su Qingming, who was also a man, immediately sensed something was wrong. A patient happened to come to the clinic, so Su Qingming slipped away, making the excuse that he had to treat the patient.

Seeing that he was busy, Jiang Tuantuan took Li Jingchen by the hand and said goodbye, then went home.

Seeing his hand being held, Li Jingchen immediately felt better. It seems that my Tuantuan still loves me the most.

After Doctor Su came back in the evening, Su Qingming took out the pearl cream. The two studied the ingredients together and found that it contained milk pearl powder and oil. However, they couldn't figure out how to make the oil after thinking for a long time.

After applying it on his face for a few days, he found it to be effective. The ingredients were safe and completely natural. Dr. Su stroked his beard and exclaimed, "What an amazing woman! She always surprises people."

At the Zhao family, Hua He's two concubine sisters used the pearl cream given by Hua He, and they both felt that their skin had indeed improved, and their mood became very good. Then they wanted to wear new clothes and dress up in various ways, but it would be a waste if they could only admire the look by themselves after dressing up, so the two concubine sisters hit it off.

She began to notify her friends to come to her house for a gathering and tea tasting. Hua He also received an invitation, but Hua He thought about it and knew what her two sisters were going to do. They were going to have another boring party under the pretext of tea tasting.

Hua He made up a random excuse and refused.

The rich young ladies who received the invitation happened to have nothing to do at home, so they all arrived as scheduled.

Zhou Rouer also received it, but after knowing that Hua He was not going, she also found a reason not to go.

The ladies who came for the appointment sat in the pavilion in the backyard. There was a big brazier in the pavilion and the pavilion was surrounded by curtains, so it was not cold.

After chatting for a few days, a young lady suddenly said, "Two sisters from the Zhao family, why do I feel that your skin is better than before?"

"Yes, yes, I just noticed that. He looks better than before."

The two concubine sisters covered half of their faces with their sleeves and laughed triumphantly, "Oh, you're too kind."

Shi Xiaomei looked at them with envy. It turned out that Shi Xiaomei and Shi Laoye inherited their father's looks, which were a bit rough. But Shi Xiaomei was also lazy and often didn't wash her face. She loved to eat. The two ugliest but richest people in Fujiang County were Shi Xiaomei and Shi Laoye.

Shi Xiaomei stretched her neck, stared at their faces and asked, "How did the two sisters of the Zhao family do it? Can you tell us and share it with us?"

"Of course, we use the pearl cream that our sister Hua He gave us. I heard she bought it from someone named Jiang Tuantuan."

After hearing this, all the ladies became interested. When they got home, they immediately asked who Jiang Tuantuan was and where the store was. Shi Xiaomei recalled for a long time and always felt that Jiang Tuantuan was very familiar. After thinking about it for a whole night, she finally remembered who it was. She felt a little angry, but she also wanted to become beautiful, so she had to put herself in a difficult position.

After two or three days, many servants and maids suddenly came to Jiang's house, all of them came to order pearl cream. Jiang Tuantuan was so happy, as she got a big order. At the same time, she also promoted a wave of camellia soap, which can be used to moisturize hands and the whole body if washed frequently.

When the servants and maids heard this, they all bought one piece. After all, if they could afford a jar of pearl cream at five taels, they wouldn't mind the extra two taels.

Ten jars of pearl cream and ten bars of soap were ordered at once. Jiang Tuantuan was so happy that she immediately went out to find a craftsman to order ten more jars, bought five pounds of pork, and started making them when she got home.

After finishing it, he handed it over to the servants of each household and earned seventy taels of silver. After deducting the twenty-five taels of cost, he made a net profit of forty-five taels. After making the money, Jiang Tuan Tuan immediately ran to the fields outside the city.

The farm work is done, and the four of them have been very idle recently. They just wander around the fields every day, weeding and so on.

Jiang Tuantuan shouted, "Mai Feng, Madden, come here quickly."

When Mai Feng Madden saw his master's house, he immediately straightened his dusty clothes and ran over. "Master, do you have any instructions?"

"Of course there are. Farming with your skills is a bit of a waste. Now follow me and go back to your old ways."

He also instructed Mai Wu and Mai Gu, "From now on, it will only be the two of you. You must farm well."

After Jiang Tuan Tuan and the others left, Mai Gu said to Mai Wu sourly, "It's good to have a skill. Unlike the two of us who can only farm."

Mai Wu glanced at him and said coldly, "Farming is also a skill. If we work hard and do more research, we will be no worse than them."

Mai Gu thought about it and realized that the world is big, but food is the most important thing for the people. If they can't even fill their stomachs, what's the use of those beautiful silver jewelry? After figuring it out, he let it go and no longer envied the other two people.

After Jiang Tuantuan led the two home, he opened the warehouse and found a shelf full of silver bars. The two were stunned and stood outside the door in a daze.

"Hurry up and leave, what are you standing there for!"

Jiang Tuantuan gave each of them a piece of silver and asked them to make a piece of jewelry that they were most proud of. All the necessary tools were also prepared for them.

The two of them each brought a small stool, sat at the door of the warehouse and started working. At night, they spread mattresses on the floor of the warehouse and went to bed in their clothes. They woke up early the next day, and the first thing they did when they woke up was to continue making silver jewelry.

After a week, it was finally finished. Mai Feng made a silver bracelet with crabapple flowers carved on it. It was very exquisite and the details were handled very well, especially the crabapple flowers, which were carved so lifelike. But the disadvantage was that it looked a bit old and not novel enough. Although it was placed among a bunch of bracelets, it still stood out.
