"Don't be busy with anything else. Hurry up and serve tea to Prince Chen and Princess Chen. Use the best box of Pu'er tea I have in my collection."
"Yes, boss."
The waiter who was cleaning stopped what he was doing and hurried to the innermost room of the ceramic shop.
The owner of the porcelain shop then asked, "Princess Chen, what is the use of so many bottles at once?"
Shu Jiaying smiled mysteriously.
"It's a secret for now. By the way, boss, do you have that much inventory in your shop?"
"Well... there aren't many in stock, but I can have the workers rush to make them. If Princess Chen isn't in a hurry, I can ship them out in three days."
"Three days later? Okay, boss. I understand you're a businessman, and I don't want to take advantage of you because of my status. Just name your price. How much would you like for that white porcelain peony vase?"
"Hmm... let me do the math."
The owner of the ceramic shop took out an abacus, deducted the labor costs and production costs, and finally said, "If we calculate it at wholesale price, we have to sell each bottle for 900 coins. I wonder if Princess Chen is willing to accept this price?"
After what happened to Ji Hongmei, Shu Jiaying knew that the owner of the ceramic shop would definitely not ask her for an exorbitant price, and that the workmanship of this bottle was indeed high-end, so she nodded.
"Okay, then I'll place an order with you now. And not just this white porcelain peony vase, I also want a hundred of these peach blossom-patterned vases, and a hundred of this one, too. Oh... and this one..."
At the ceramic shop, Shu Jiaying ordered bottles of lotion, toner, facial cleanser, and foundation. She spent nearly four hundred taels of silver on the outer packaging alone, but she only gave the ceramic shop owner a deposit of fifty taels.
Afterwards, Shu Jiaying and Yu Chenfeng went to a place specializing in handicrafts to customize one hundred lipstick tubes and small iron boxes for blush, so the product's outer packaging was basically finalized.
Shu Jiaying was very satisfied with this trip. She said to Yu Chenfeng, "Achen, luckily you are with me. I can't rely on myself alone. I may not be able to finish all these things in one day."
"It's not a big deal. I'm just taking you where you want to go. You're not familiar with Ningcheng.
Yingying...it's getting late, do you want to try some of Ningcheng's special snacks?"
Speaking of food, Shu Jiaying's stomach was already rumbling, and she nodded.
"Okay, I'm also curious about what snacks are in Ningcheng. Ah Chen, you lead the way."
“…”
Yu Chenfeng smiled slightly, and he brought Shu Jiaying to an alley hidden in the market. In this seemingly inconspicuous alley, there were indeed many vendors hiding. Some of these vendors sold fried rice, some sold rice dumplings, some sold fried chestnuts, and even some sold pickled vegetables.
Shu Jiaying couldn't help but exclaimed, "Achen, it turns out Ningcheng also has a snack street. This place is so down-to-earth, I like it."
"I guess you like it. Actually, I didn't know there was such a place here before. Ningxia brought me here once when she came to see me, so I remembered it. I've eaten the food here before, and it tastes pretty good, especially the secret recipe of the old lady at the end of the alley..."
"Stinky tofu, the taste of stinky tofu."
Before Yu Chenfeng could finish his words, Shu Jiaying had already smelled the aroma of stinky tofu wafting from the alley. The smell was exactly the same as the stinky tofu she had eaten in modern times.
