The innkeeper was also a shrewd businessman, and he saw great business opportunities in these ointments: "How much does this box of ointments cost?"
"Sincerity pattern silver ten taels." Mingruo had a childlike smile on her face.
This small box of 10 taels of silver was still relatively cheap based on the price she sold it to the Eighth Princess. But the purpose of selling the 'trial package' was to promote the detoxification ointment, so she didn't care about these details.
The innkeeper couldn't help but be stunned. Such a small box costs ten taels of silver. If you buy a box as big as beauty cream, it will probably cost several hundred taels. This price is extremely high. However, it is definitely not difficult under the current situation.
Sell.
"Try to let as many ladies as possible use it. Let's just say that this detoxification ointment is purchased from a medicine shop on Qingliang Street in the imperial capital." Although I don't have time to visit doctors, I can't stop making a small amount of money.
"Even if those ladies and ladies want to buy this poison-extracting ointment, they can't all go to the imperial capital. Is Madam considering opening a shop to sell this poison-extracting ointment?"
"It's really not worth opening a store just to sell the detoxification ointment..." Ming Ruo rolled his eyes and asked the shopkeeper to act as a 'purchasing agent'.
"The detox ointment sold in a medicine shop is such a big jar. Each jar costs one thousand taels of silver. It takes almost two jars a month." Mingruo took out a 'formal' jar of detoxification ointment from his 'sleeve pocket'.
ointment, "If there is a lady who has tried this small box of detoxification ointment and wants to buy a larger jar, you can help them purchase it and charge an extra ten taels of silver per order for shipping."
"What does this every order... mean?" The innkeeper didn't quite understand.
"This means that whether a person buys one can or a hundred cans at a time, he only charges ten taels of silver for shipping.
You can collect a deposit to accept the order, and after counting the quantity, ask a medicine shop to deliver the goods to you once a month. When the ladies come to pick up the goods, just settle the balance. Every time you sell a can of cupping ointment, a medicine shop will
The medicine hall will give you a commission of twenty taels of silver, which together with the 'shipping charges' will be your reward, what do you think?"
"Thank you, madam." The ointment is ordered first and then purchased. There is no risk at all. You can earn hundreds of taels in a month or so. It is a business that is sure to make a profit.
"I'll write you a letter, and then you can take the letter to a medicine hall and talk to Dr. Shen about the specific matters."
"Okay, okay." The innkeeper quickly found paper and pen.
Mingruo quickly wrote a 'letter of introduction' to the innkeeper. Si Haochen was amazed at how concise and concise the words were.
After getting on the carriage, Mingruo wrote another letter to his old apprentice and directly called Xiaoxue to deliver the letter.
"It's not an urgent matter. As for using Snow Eagle to deliver the letter..." Si Haochen raised his hand and tucked Mingruo's broken hair hanging on the side of his face behind his ears.
"Looking at the queue outside Wuchen Palace two days ago, there must have been a lot of people coming to order the detoxification ointment. We have to prepare the goods in advance." Ming Ruo put the pen and paper in order, "Besides, I am not active in making money.
, there is something wrong with my thinking!”
"You're a little money addict." Si Haochen was also shocked by the princess's endless ways to make money. She even thought of such a method as 'purchasing on behalf of others'.
"I'm not a money-lover, I'm a little fairy who thinks about what others want and worries about what others want." Mingruo spread her hands, "If I hadn't come up with such a good idea, those ladies and ladies would have to face their aging appearance every day.
, how sad it must be... Well, why are you pinching my face?"
"Just to see if you are thick-skinned."
"By the way, what happened to the demon?" Mingruo thought of the 'fish that slipped through the net' last night.
"He has been hiding in the mountains and has not contacted anyone so far." Si Haochen was also a little surprised, "I originally thought that he would contact Feng Muyuan. After all, there was such chaos in Xunshui City, and Feng Muyuan also appeared here.
, what a coincidence.”
"If the demon is Feng Muyuan's man, why didn't he make this plan in Xikang? Wouldn't it be more useful if he used evil medicine to control most of the officials or their family members?" Mingruo supported his chin with his hand, "His baba
He came to bring trouble to Donghuan, even if he succeeded. He is neither the emperor nor the prince now, so it is not certain who will take advantage of him."
"Perhaps his ambition is not that big, and he just wants to take over the surrounding area of Xunshui City as a stepping stone in his fight for the reserve position?" Si Haochen looked at Feng Muyuan. Although he was very scheming, it was just a small fight.
His vision and courage cannot match that of his wife.
"Oh, yes." Mingruo nodded in agreement.
"However, your analysis makes sense. If the demon is his subordinate, it will be cheaper to operate in Xikang." Si Haochen sent more people to monitor the demon, and wrote a secret letter to Feng Muling, asking him to
Pay attention to what's going on over there in Xikang, and check if there really is a Wuchen Palace in Jiuyang Mountain in Xikang.
In the evening of that day, Mingruo and Si Haochen had already entered Nanrong territory with a road guide. Judging from the topographic map given by Yan Zhaobai, it takes half a day to reach Linshui County. Therefore, they first stayed in a small border town.
It's not too late to start our journey tomorrow morning.
For the sake of convenience, I stayed in a small inn outside the town. This town was built along the river, and the scenery was quite good. Mingruo took Si Haochen to go for a walk on the beach by the river. The gentle breeze from the river blew away the sultry heat of the day.
, cool and comfortable.
There was a big boat parked by the river. There were many women in black standing on the side of the boat, with ropes tied around their waists, and they jumped into the river one by one. They were pulled up after a long time.
Mingruo frowned slightly: "Is this... diving?"
Si Haochen looked at it and said, "They should be training pearl divers."
"Pearl diver? Pearl diver?" In later generations, most pearls were cultivated artificially. After being raised, they were harvested mechanically, and people basically no longer went into the water to fish for pearls.
"Most of the pearls in this river are not good. It's just a matter of training. Only when you can hold your breath underwater for about half a quarter of an hour can you go into the sea to collect pearls."
"Oh." Mingruo felt it was a bit cruel for a woman to complete such a difficult job.
However, this world has such rules. She has no ability to change the world, she can only ensure that she will not become an accomplice of these rules.
Si Haochen could tell that the little girl was in a low mood: "Let's go back."
"good."
But there was an exclamation from the other side of the ship: "Auntie, Ah Yue is drowning."
A well-built woman rushed out of the cabin and said in a rough voice: "You can still drown after practicing for more than half a year. What a loser!"
"Ah Yue may have suffered from the heat yesterday, and she keeps having a fever today..." a girl said weakly.
"It's really the young lady's maid's fate. She gets sick every now and then... I didn't get a single bead, but I put a lot of medicine money in it instead." She scolded her, and quickly patted the water out of the woman's throat, "
Then he threw a piece of silver to the woman who just spoke, and took her to the hospital in the town for a checkup."
