No matter how well skincare products sell, a basic set costs less than one or two taels of silver, a slightly better set costs more than ten taels of silver, and an even better set costs several tens of taels of silver. The higher the price, the smaller the target audience. Making money still depends on basic and mid-priced products.
Even so, it's still not as "shocking" as this music box costing hundreds of taels of silver!
Of course, this doesn't mean that skincare products aren't profitable; on the contrary, they certainly earn just as much as imported products.
Youqing naturally didn't buy the imported goods; she didn't need them, so looking at them was enough.
As they left the imported goods shop, Chengying asked curiously, "Master, I noticed you were looking around so intently just now. Did you find anything you liked?"
She was a follower of the Qing dynasty, but also a follower of the Kangxi emperor. She hoped that the two masters could reconcile, and that by finding out the other master's preferences, she could also get the other master to cater to her tastes.
Youqing shook her head: "These things are just novel to look at. Once you take them apart, they're not unreplicable. There's no need to buy them. If you like them, I'll make them for you the first time."
"This servant doesn't like these things; this servant is just curious."
Regardless of whether she liked it or not, Youqing decided to go back and see if she could make some to give to Chengying and Sangzhu.
Just as Youqing came out of the imported goods shop, she ran into an acquaintance, Emperor Kangxi.
What a coincidence! Behind Kangxi was a young boy who wasn't very old. The boy looked very familiar to Youqing. Wasn't he the "master" who had dragged her younger brother out of the restaurant earlier?
How come someone of her age can follow behind Emperor Kangxi? Her background must be even more impressive than she had imagined. She just didn't know who she was.
When Kangxi saw Youqing, he smiled.
"Young Master You has come out today as well?" Kangxi addressed Youqing with great politeness and respect, and Youqing knew that he was protecting her identity.
Kangxi's words startled the young master following behind him. Who was this person? He had never heard of such a person appearing in the capital. It was truly rare to see someone so courteous to His Majesty.
Youqing cupped her hands and bowed to Kangxi, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kangxi interrupted him: "We're outside today, so there's no need to be so polite."
Youqing didn't hold back at all.
