"The price is easy to negotiate. Sanniang and I are close friends. We started a small business together. We never expected to have such a big business in the provincial capital right from the start. As for the price, the milk soap and vanishing cream together sell for 600 wen. In fact, in this county town, the profit cannot be too high. How about I give Madam 100 wen as the purchase price? Just consider it a good relationship."
In fact, the maximum cost of a single coin is 200 wen, so a pair like this can earn you 300 wen.
She is such a profiteer.
Qiu Sanniang didn't say anything. When Zhao Taohua was talking about business, she just needed to pretend to be stupid. Anyway, Madam Zhao would not treat her unfairly.
She believed that if Madam Yuan bought it at a price of 100 wen and sent it to the provincial capital, the price would only increase with the purchasing power of the provincial capital, which would then drive up the price of Mudanfang as well.
This is unimaginable.
"good."
I thought Madam Yuan would hesitate, but unexpectedly she agreed immediately. "Madam Zhao is a straightforward person, how can I not be straightforward? 100 is 100, give me 100 pairs, and I will take them to the prefecture and pay the money in person. Don't worry."
Mrs. Yuan is indeed a very straightforward person.
So...
Zhao Taohua was in a dilemma. "Madam, our small workshop can't produce a hundred pairs for you right now. Vanishing cream is easy, but milk soap takes a long time to make. It will take at least a month to get them all. This sudden large order... And, Madam, you don't know, the shelf life of milk soap is about half a year, but the shelf life of vanishing cream is not that long. It's best to use it all within a month. It's okay in autumn and winter, but it needs ice to be preserved in the hot summer. It's precious and really hard to handle."
“The good things are those that are difficult to serve.”
Mrs. Yuan was a little disappointed. She had obtained these two good things and wished she could immediately grow wings and put them on the market so that they would sell like hot cakes.
Compared to milk soap and vanishing cream, what kind of rubbish have those high-class women in the state capital been using these years?
Moreover, Madam Yuan was an extremely shrewd woman. She even had the idea of currying favor with the capital, even though the Yuan family was still quite weak. Who knew if she would be qualified to become an imperial merchant in the future?
It has to be said that after the county magistrate's wife, Zhao Taohua met another powerful woman.
To appease Zhao Taohua, Madam Yuan stepped forward and intimately grasped her hand, saying, "My dear sister, I know you're having difficulties. Since that's the case, I won't rush you any further. I'll give you a month. However, instead of the 100 pairs I mentioned, how about increasing it to 200? Don't worry, go for it. This product isn't available anywhere else, so it's sure to sell well."
Zhao Taohua naturally wasn't worried about sales, so since things had come to this, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Mrs. Yuan immediately ordered someone to pay the entire deposit, two hundred pairs, one hundred coins per pair, a total of one hundred taels of silver.
It’s not that Mrs. Yuan was prepared, but that the Yuan family is indeed rich.
It’s not that Madam Yuan trusts Zhao Taohua, but the Yuan family is powerful and they don’t think they can be deceived by Zhao Taohua. This makes them appear more sincere.
Zhao Taohua simply accepted the money. The conversation between the two sides was very successful. Afterwards, they had a meal together at Fushunlou. During the meal, they learned that the braised pork that was famous in Nantong County actually came from the Zhao family.
"Sister, you are really amazing."
Mrs. Yuan started to think about it again.
Zhao Taohua smiled but said nothing.
After the discussion was over and the two parties parted ways, Madam Yuan got into her own carriage and then she faded her smile slightly. She sighed, "Such a wonderful thing! If only our Yuan family could make it, it would be great. Unfortunately, Madam Zhao doesn't seem like someone who would share secret recipes. If I ask for it rashly, I'm afraid I'll offend her. Hey, someone, keep an eye on them and see what ingredients the Zhao family is buying."
"yes."
The cautious voice of a servant came from outside the car.
