She wiped away her tears with her chubby little hands and cried out at the top of her lungs, "Mommy, I'm so envious of Rangrang! Why does she have such a beautiful doll, but I don't?"
"I really want a doll that's all my own! Please, please go and buy me one!"
Ma Weiwei's incessant crying and demanding of her doll inspired the other children nearby to follow suit, and soon the once quiet and peaceful back garden was filled with the sounds of crying.
The children's faces were all red from crying, their noses and tears a mess, creating a chaotic scene.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone present, especially the distinguished guests. They looked at each other, unsure of what to do, their faces filled with embarrassment.
Even the entire Fang family was at a loss and looked extremely embarrassed.
After all, this farce ultimately started because of the doll in Fang Rangrang's hand.
At this moment, the chief priestess frowned as she watched her precious daughter crying and fussing incessantly.
Left with no other choice, she turned her gaze to Xiao Tao, who had not yet left, and asked softly, "Could we go to the Yun residence now to buy some dolls?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "Of course! But this doll is a rare item, unique in the entire Chu Yun Kingdom."
"So, its price is relatively expensive. I wonder if you can accept this price?"
The old lady of the Ministry of Personnel's residence stepped forward without hesitation: "No problem, it's acceptable!"
After saying that, she took her grandson Shen Yan's hand, hurriedly bowed to Old Master Fang to say goodbye, and then rushed towards the Yun residence.
It seems she can't wait to choose a favorite doll for her grandson.
Upon hearing this, almost every household with children followed suit and went outside.
So, several ornately decorated carriages set off from the same direction, their wheels rolling and kicking up dust as they sped toward the Yun residence.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the streets, drawing the attention of passersby.
At this very moment, in a quiet room within the Yun residence, He Yang and Yun Zhizhi were sitting around an octagonal table, carefully discussing the pricing of the dolls they would be selling at their stall.
He Yang pointed to a three-foot-long exquisite doll on the table and said, "Boss, how about we price this three-foot-long doll at fifteen taels of silver?"
Yun Zhizhi frowned slightly, her gaze falling on the doll. After a moment of contemplation, she replied:
"Hmm... this price is reasonable. You know, the cost of making just one three-foot-long doll is already ten taels of silver. It's not unreasonable for us to make a profit of five taels of silver."
Then, Yun Zhizhi pointed to two smaller dolls next to her and continued, "As for this foot-long doll, I plan to set its price at ten taels of silver."
"And this three-inch-long doll is priced at six taels of silver."
He Yang nodded after hearing this, picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and then put the cup down, replying, "I have no objection. It's all up to the boss to decide."
Just as the two were discussing things enthusiastically, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Tao, dressed in a light green dress, rushed into the room like a gust of wind.
She was already panting heavily from running so fast.
After catching her breath, she hurriedly reported, "Miss, there's good news! Several distinguished guests have come to buy dolls."
Afterwards, Xiao Tao, without taking a break, quickly recounted to Yun Zhizhi everything that had happened at the Fang residence.
Yun Zhizhi stared at Xiao Tao in disbelief, never expecting that simply sending her to the Fang residence to deliver a gift would result in her bringing back some customers.
"Miss, they are already waiting in the front hall."
With a broad smile, He Yang said excitedly, "Boss, we've been setting up our stall for a while now, but this is the first time we've ever had such a distinguished customer come to us to buy before we've even officially started selling!"
"This is definitely a good omen!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a delighted expression, and then decisively waved her hand:
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Hurry up and come with me to the storeroom to bring out all twenty kinds of dolls so that the customers can choose to their heart's content."
So the group quickly walked toward the warehouse.
In no time, all sorts of colorful and well-made dolls were neatly arranged in the front hall.
The ladies and children's eyes lit up the moment they saw the adorable dolls.
They all gathered around as if they had discovered a new continent, their hearts filled with joy.
Touch the left, touch the right.
These novel and unique doll designs are so eye-catching that you can't help but want to collect them and keep them as a keepsake.
Finally, after repeated comparisons, Shen Yan selected a three-foot-long green crocodile and a three-inch-long but exquisitely crafted yellow Shiba Inu doll.
He held his carefully chosen treasure with great satisfaction, grinning from ear to ear.
At the same time, Ma Weiwei also took a fancy to a brown Capi-Brazza that was a full foot long. She held it carefully in her hands, her face beaming with a happy smile.
Surprisingly, even the elderly and usually dignified Madam Shen chose a salted fish stick doll that was a full three feet long!
She had already made up her mind.
This salted fish stick is not only long but also very flat; a plush toy with this shape would definitely be very comfortable to hug.
Especially when it's time to go to bed, my old man always snores loudly. If there were a long, ugly-cute salted fish doll between them, I wouldn't be able to see my old man's face.
In this way, even if you hear snoring, you probably won't be as bothered as usual.
Look at the fabric used for this doll; it's so soft and smooth, it feels like silk.
Falling asleep cuddling a salted fish plush toy made of soft fabric is much better than cuddling your own stinky old man!
In the blink of an eye, Yun Zhizhi and her team successfully sold a total of twelve plush toys.
Looking at all that gleaming silver, everyone's smiles were so bright they seemed to overflow, their lips curving upwards almost to their ears.
He Yang counted the money and said excitedly, "Boss, we've struck it rich! We've made 142 taels of silver in one go. It seems like this stall sale has set a new record."
Yun Zhizhi smiled without saying a word.
I hope this stall event goes smoothly!
She finally gained some confidence in setting up a stall outside the brothel.
