"My goodness, it has to be my eldest granddaughter. How can she be so capable? She made so many mosquito coils in just half a day!" Grandma Jiang looked at Jiang Wanwan excitedly.
Jiang Xun pouted, "Grandma, I helped too."
Grandma Jiang nodded readily, "Yes, Xun'er has worked hard too."
Jiang Xun: "......"
How perfunctory!
Uncle Jiang was not about to miss the chance to make his presence known to Jiang Wanwan.
He leaned closer to Jiang Wanwan, pointed to the mosquito coils on the winnowing basket in front of her, and said, "My dear niece, you're truly amazing. Mother, look at these mosquito coils, they're even better than the last ones."
"It's well-proportioned and beautiful; Baibaoxuan and Ruixiangju will definitely be vying to buy it."
Jiang Wanwan: "......"
What did she do to trigger the device that made her second uncle and grandma shower her with compliments?
"Wan'er, have these mosquito coils been dried?" Hu asked.
That evening, Jiang Wan touched the last basket of mosquito coils she had made and found that the coils had hardened, indicating that they had been dried properly.
She nodded, "Luckily, the sun was strong today, so these mosquito coils dried quickly. Tomorrow, we can take them to town to try selling them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jiang family cheered throughout the courtyard.
"Yay, that's great!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb others," Jiang Jialin, being quite vigilant, promptly reminded everyone.
"Oh, right, keep your voice down. So no one will find out." Grandma Jiang nodded repeatedly, hunching her neck and glancing furtively at her own courtyard wall.
The Jiang family members lowered their voices and continued their excited discussion.
"Little sister, how much are these mosquito coils per roll?" Jiang Xun was more concerned about this question.
The Jiang family members stared intently at Jiang Wanwan, deeply concerned about the matter.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Wanwan said, "These mosquito coils are effective, but they don't burn very well. However, since we're the first to sell them, let's set the initial price at two coins per roll, or three coins for two rolls."
"These are mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus, and the target audience is the county town. Since they are sold in the county town, where there are many wealthy people, the price will naturally be higher. So we'll sell them for three coins a roll, or two rolls for five coins."
Grandma Jiang and the others stared at Jiang Wanwan in shock. "Such a small roll of mosquito coil, and it's so expensive? Will anyone actually buy it?"
They were initially very confident about making money selling mosquito coils, but now, because the prices they set were too high, they are starting to doubt whether they can sell them at all.
"We'll know once we try it tomorrow," Jiang Wanwan said.
Grandma Jiang moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she swallowed it back down.
Well, whatever price my eldest granddaughter sells for. The price will eventually drop if she doesn't sell.
I'd better not tell anyone, lest I annoy my eldest granddaughter.
"Wan'er, let's put these mosquito coils away first. Otherwise, the mist will get them wet later," Hu reminded her.
"Okay, I went to the market today and bought some cloth bags to hold mosquito coils. I'll go back inside and get them now." Jiang Wanwan returned to the house, closed the doors and windows, opened the online store, and bought ten cloth bags, five gray and five white, to distinguish between different mosquito coils.
Jiang Wanwan took ten cloth bags to the yard and distributed them to the Jiang family, asking them to help pack mosquito coils into them.
"These few baskets of mosquito coils over here are in white cloth bags. Those baskets over there are in gray cloth bags," Jiang Wanwan directed.
