Chapter 99 Lady Feng

Xie Qionghua and Zhang Laidi were also the type who sold goods first and then settled the payment.

Before, I only sold small items like needles and thread. After I slowly saved up some money, I started purchasing goods with the money I had saved.

In Huai'an, she earned nearly 15 taels of silver by selling eyebrow pencils and rouge. This time, she only kept 2 taels for household expenses and bought the rest on hand cream.

The bottle is made of translucent glass and the ointment inside has several scents.

When Miss Honglian gave the products to the two sisters to try, the moisturizing effect was visible at a glance. It is said that with long-term use, the skin will not only become softer, but the complexion will also become whiter.

The purchase price of a small jar is 200 wen, and Miss Honglian suggests selling it for 300 to 500 wen. They are reluctant to use such an expensive thing.

Several women walked to the entrance of Yuchun Tower, but no one dared to go up and talk to the two eunuchs.

In the end, the carefree Qi Fang was the first to go over and say hello.

"Hello, young men. We are from Taoyuan Caravan."

As she spoke, she handed over a handful of copper coins.

"We are a caravan from the capital, and we have brought a lot of new things. We would like to ask the girls to help us take a look at them. I would like to ask the two young men to help us say a few words."

When Qi Fang was a child, she followed her father to negotiate business with people at home. At this moment, she recalled what her father looked like in her memory and tried to think of the two eunuchs as the doormen of a wealthy family.

The two eunuchs looked at each other and found it strange, but that handful of copper coins was enough for them to buy two taels of wine, and the other party was so polite in speaking.

The one who was about 17 or 18 years old smiled, took the copper coin and put it in his pocket, "Wait!"

Qi Fang nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother."

The remaining younger one looked the women up and down, with only curiosity in his eyes, and no other meaning.

An incense stick of time passed, and the person who went to pass the message first had not come out yet. Several women couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety on their faces.

Little Wang took a few steps forward and remembered the pine nut candies that her youngest daughter had specially packed for her in her bag, so she took out the palm-sized oil paper bag.

"Young man, can you please help pass the message again? This is for your sweet mouth." Little Wang said, handing over the oil paper bag, and added, "Don't worry, we will wait here and will never come in."

The old man took the oil paper package, opened it and found that it contained a dozen pieces of pine nut candy cut into squares. A smile immediately appeared on his face. You know, candy is not cheap nowadays.

"Okay, then you guys wait, mom probably hasn't woken up yet, I'll go ask her."

Not long after entering, the first turtle man came out without saying much, just said "Mom let you in."

There was no light in the lobby and it was a little dark. Several women followed the old man through the lobby and into an exquisite courtyard at the back.

There was an osmanthus tree planted in the yard. A lazy woman in her forties was sitting on a chair under the tree. There were snacks on the table. The turtle behind her was gently patting her shoulders.

The woman must have just gotten up. She had no makeup on and the dark circles under her eyes were obvious.

"This is Madam Feng, the mother of our Yuchun Tower." After introducing, Mr. Gui stepped aside.

Seeing that none of the other women came forward, Qi Fang had no choice but to bow to Madam Feng and said, "Greetings, Madam Feng."

Seeing this, the other women followed suit and performed the inappropriate greetings.

Lady Feng couldn't help laughing as she watched them copying her. She had never seen women from a caravan doing business, let alone doing business in a building.

Moreover, although these women were dressed neatly, the material of their clothes was not necessarily very good, which showed that they must have been born in peasant families.

Thinking of this, Madam Feng no longer had any expectations for their so-called "new things". Just by listening to their accents, she knew they were not from the capital, but most likely the refugees from last year.

Several women blushed at her laughter. Liu Juhua was about to say something when she heard Madam Feng say, "Bring them all out so I can see what new stuff you have."

Liu Juhua seemed to hear the sound of nature. She hurriedly put down the backpack and lifted the cloth covering it.

There are many translucent glass jars and bottles in the backpack, with the big word "Taoyuan" reflected on them, and some small words next to them, such as "body lotion", "essence cream", "eye cream" and other nouns.

The other women followed suit, putting down their backpacks and uncovering their cloths.

Qi Fang's backpack was filled with transparent glass bottles filled with liquids of various colors. This time, all the goods she bought were perfumes, scented lotions, and ointments.

The things in Xiao Wang's backpack were more mixed, including various cosmetic items, especially lipsticks, and she took 100 of them.

Madam Feng was stunned. She didn't expect that these farm ladies actually had good stuff in their hands.

She leaned over to take a look and cleared her throat, "Then you can each introduce yourself."

Several women looked at each other, and finally Qi Fang took the lead and began to introduce their goods one by one.

"Mrs. Feng, please look. This glass bottle contains perfume. My perfume is different from the perfume drops sold outside. It can last up to seven days after use..."

After listening to her introduction, Lady Feng raised her eyebrows slightly, hiding her shock, and asked calmly, "How much is a bottle of your perfume?"

Qi Fang smiled, took out a bottle of orchid-scented perfume and said, "Why don't you try it first, Madam Feng, and see if you like the smell."

Of course you have to inspect the goods before you can pay the money. Who would believe that your stuff is worth so much money without any evidence?

Madam Feng nodded modestly and stretched out a hand, "Then let's give it a try."

Qi Fang took a few steps forward, opened the lid, and carefully applied the perfume on Madam Feng's wrist.

In an instant, the fragrance of orchids filled her nose. Madam Feng could bet that she had never smelled such a rich and pure fragrance.

Qi Fang looked at her expression and a hint of joy appeared between her brows.

This is the scent that my cousin and his wife usually use. There is no woman in Taoyuan Village who doesn't like it, so it's no surprise that Madam Feng likes it.

As expected, Madam Feng couldn't control herself and was the first to ask the price.

Qi Fang estimated in her mind, "Perfume is 10 taels of silver per bottle, you can choose any scent you want."

As soon as she finished speaking, the other women took a deep breath in their hearts.

My goodness, this Qi Fang sister is too bold to ask for it. A bottle of perfume with a purchase price of one or two silver coins was actually increased tenfold? Aren't you afraid that people will think it's too expensive and refuse it?
Unfortunately, Madam Feng thought it was too expensive, but she was willing to pay for it and even picked out five bottles of perfume in one go!
Therefore, when it was their turn, they couldn't help but increase the originally set price several times.

After Madam Feng finished shopping, Qi Fang gave her the bottle of perfume she had tried before, saying it was a gift for her.
