Li Xia Xia put on her dress, with a smug and arrogant look on her face: "Our Li family has a very high status among the many royal merchants in Beiling."
Shang Ruoyi nodded after hearing this: "Since there will be surplus, where will the remaining Dongzhu be sold to?"
"Since they are made into jewelry, although those Dongzhu pearls are small in size and some even have flaws on them, they are still sought after by people."
“Do you sell pearl oysters?”
"Eastern pearl clams?" Li Xia Xia understood her intention instantly and said with a smile, "Of course I'm selling them, but for the sake of this dress, I kindly remind you not to think that you can raise Eastern pearl clams by yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"The growth of Dongzhu clams is very slow. Our Li family's ancestors made a living from them. After a hundred years of inheritance, they have acquired the heritage. Some clams need to be raised for dozens or even hundreds of years before they can produce better Dongzhu. In the early years, some merchants wanted to buy Dongzhu clams and raise them themselves, but they all ended in failure." Li Xia Xia smiled and said, "If Dongzhu was so easy to get, it would not be so loved by the royal family."
Shang Ruoyi nodded. Dongzhu is indeed rare, but in the past, Dongzhu has long been turned into a visual ornament that ordinary people can afford. This shows that there is still a way to increase the productivity of Dongzhu.
Thinking of the spiritual spring in my own space, if I use the spiritual spring water to cultivate, I might be surprised.
"It doesn't matter. If others can't raise it, it doesn't mean I can't raise it either. I wonder how to sell this clam?"
Seeing that she insisted, Li Xia Xia stopped trying to persuade her.
"Since you insist on buying it, come to Huifu Inn tomorrow and you can discuss the details with my father."
She picked up the porcelain bottle containing the spiritual spring water and said, "How much is this medicine robe? I'll buy it."
"Since you want to cooperate with Miss Li, these two things should be your meeting gifts." After saying that, Shang Ruoyi took out another porcelain bottle: "Although the pain on the skin has disappeared, the effect of the potion mainly acts on the surface of the skin. This contains the Jade Bone Regenerating Pill. After taking it, your skin will be as white as snow and as smooth as cream. I guarantee that your skin will be several times better than it is now."
Li Xia Xia's eyes fell on the porcelain vase. Jade bones and growing flesh were what many women dreamed of.
If someone else had told her, she would not have believed it easily, but after seeing the effect of the potion with her own eyes, she was very interested in the pills that Shang Ruoyi took out. If the effect was really that good, she could bring the pills back to Beiling. With the influence of their Li family, these pills and potions would definitely be sold out in a short time.
"If I buy this pill and potion in bulk, how much money would it cost?"
"The potion is five taels of silver, and the pills are thirty taels of silver."
Li Xia Xia's eyes lit up, it was so cheap!
The burn ointment used by the nobles of Beiling all came from a pharmacy called "Ren Xin Tang". The pills and ointment were very effective, but the price was extremely high. Only the nobles or the children of wealthy families could afford it. A small jar of ointment cost more than ten taels of silver, not even half of the amount in this porcelain bottle. Each pill cost at least five taels of silver.
She looked at the porcelain bottle containing the pills in her hand. There were at most ten pills in it, and each pill was only three taels of silver. If it could really make jade bones grow flesh, how could it be worth only five taels of silver each?
Thinking about it this way, the pills she sold were really too cheap.
"Okay! After I ask my father for permission, if you come tomorrow, let's talk about this pill."
She straightened her dress and walked to the front. The woman who had covered her with milk tea stood there, not at all embarrassed. Seeing Li Xia Xia coming out, she stepped forward and said, "Miss Li, please forgive me. I didn't know it was you who bumped into me. Are you okay?"
Li Xia Xia saw who was coming, the smile on her face disappeared, and her tone was slightly deep: "Is it you?"
"I'm Xia Ling, my humble servant, nice to meet Miss Li." She had a slight smile on her face: "A few days ago, our lady said that she wanted to invite all the ladies for a boat ride. I didn't expect Miss Li to come to Tianshun as well." Xia Ling looked at what she was wearing and paused.
"Zhang Ruru actually wants to invite me for a boat trip? It must be like a weasel paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken, with no good intentions." She sneered: "She has been dreaming about this man day and night and finally got engaged to me. She hates me so much that she wants to invite me for a boat trip? Could it be that she wants to take advantage of the boat trip to throw me into the lake and drown me?"
Most of the customers who were buying milk tea in the shop were from Tianshun. When they heard her blunt words, they all looked over.
The people of Beiling are tough and speak sharply, regardless of the opinions of those around them.
Xia Ling felt uncomfortable for a moment when she heard this. She didn't expect that everything her young lady said was guessed.
"Miss Li, what are you talking about? You and our girl are close friends, and our girl would never do such things." Xia Ling was sweating profusely.
"Forget it, don't talk nonsense with me. Your daughter and I are close friends, so what? You poured scalding milk tea on me. My dress cost three hundred taels. It's not too much to ask you to compensate me according to the price! And I'm injured." She glanced at Xia Ling and said, "If it weren't for the shopkeeper, I would have scars on my body. Go back and tell your daughter that although you made the mistake, I will blame her for it."
Xia Ling's face changed when she heard that. She was about to explain, but Li Xia Xia was not willing to give her another chance to speak. He said hello to Shang Ruoyi and walked straight out.
Xia Ling blushed and left in a hurry, thinking that she had caused trouble and the young lady would punish her severely when she returned.
Early the next morning, Shang Ruoyi arrived at Huifu Inn. Standing at the door of the inn were two maids, both of whom were servants who followed Miss Li to the milk tea shop yesterday.
Seeing Shang Ruoyi getting off the carriage, he hurried over to greet her: "Shopkeeper Shang, our young lady has been waiting for a long time."
Following the maid to the room on the third floor, Li Xia Xia was still wearing the warm satin from yesterday, which showed that she really liked it.
"Sister Shang, you are finally here." She walked up to her and took her hand with a smile: "I thought you forgot about it, and was thinking of inviting you to your shop!"
Shang Ruoyi looked at the sky and couldn't help laughing. It was already so early in the morning, and she was so anxious.
Li Xia Xia lifted her sleeves, revealing a piece of her fair wrist. Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly. Her skin seemed to be much whiter than yesterday.
"Sister Shang, my dear sister, you can take more of this Yugu Shengji Pill, and I can take more. I only took one pill last night." She paused, looked around, and said softly, "Not long after taking it, some black sticky stuff appeared on my body. After washing it off, I felt that my skin was much whiter."
