The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

Chapter 16: Money-making Opportunities

She looks so poor that you can't tell at first glance that she can't afford rouge and powder.

There are a lot of bottles and jars in this rouge shop, but Jin Tiantian doesn’t recognize any of them. She can only tell what they are by the labels on them.

Lip balm, face balm, hand balm, hair oil, body powder, perfumed ointment, flower ornaments, stone incense, nail polish, clothing sachets, perfumed cakes, perfumed pills...

Although there is a label with the product name on it, there is no price tag.

"Boss, how much are your incense cakes and incense pills?"

Although there are many items for sale, the categories of goods are still relatively simple. It is probably because this is a small town, so the items sold are so monotonous.

"Go, go, go. If you can't afford it, don't ask."

Jin smiled sweetly.

"Oh."

Jin Tiantian turned around and went to a incense shop across the street. The rouge and powder shop weren't the only ones selling incense in this town.

Since this one doesn't welcome you, let's go to another one.

The perfume shop across the street is much smaller than this rouge shop and only sells spices, but they are very hospitable.

Even when facing a poor customer like Jin Tiantian whose clothes were patched up on top of each other, the female shopkeeper still smiled and treated her kindly.

"What do you want to see, girl?"

"How much do you sell these Baili Xinxiang cakes for?"

It is indeed worthy of being called an incense shop, with a comprehensive range of raw incense materials, incense sticks, coils, tower incense, incense pills, incense powder, ointments, perfumed lotions, sachets, and incense pillows.

The scent of these incenses is also very simple.

The female shopkeeper looked sincere.

"Miss, although the spices in my shop are not expensive, the prices of my spices are fair to everyone."

"If you want this Baili Xinxiang Cake, I'll charge you 300 coins for one coin. If you want more, I'll charge you 2900 coins for one ounce."

Jin grinned sweetly.

"Is it so expensive?"

Oh no, this Baili Xin is just lilac.

Ordinary spices are so expensive.

It can be seen that the spices in this world are really expensive.

The female shopkeeper was smiling.

"Miss, the incense I sell in this shop is already very cheap. This one or two ounces of incense cakes cost quite a lot of spices."

Jin Tiantian nodded, understanding it.

It's not like she hasn't made incense before, so she knows how much spices are needed.

To make this spice, take cloves as an example. Two kilograms of fresh cloves are needed to make five grams of dried cloves.

Tsk tsk, these ordinary spices can be sold at such a price. If she sells some expensive spices, wouldn’t she be able to make some money?

Oh no, I made a ton of money!

After all, all the precious spices flowed into the royal family and were only used by the royal family. There were almost none available among the people, and the spice resources were also very scarce. Wouldn't she be a hot commodity?

Hey, it’s not a dream to make a lot of money and build a house here.

Ah, right!

Jin Tiantian's eyes flashed, and she thought of Qinghe Pharmacy.

Since rose incense is a precious spice, then it should not have flowed into border areas like this since it came from the royal family, right?

Why could it flow into a small pharmacy like Qinghe Town?

As soon as it comes out, it should be snapped up by powerful consumers in the imperial city.

Even if they were not sold out in the imperial city, they would surely have flowed into the nearest cities and been divided up.

Could it be that Qinghe Pharmacy has a royal family behind it so it can get the goods?

When I was reading the novel, I didn't see any mention of Qinghe Pharmacy.

It is only said that the cannon fodder princess's third brother Jin Li is an apprentice in this pharmacy, but he has not said a word about this pharmacy.

Maybe this pharmacy was really opened by a royal relative. Even if not, it was probably opened by a high-ranking official who was protected by a royal relative.

Jin Tiantian was quick-witted and secretly complained in her heart, but then she collected her thoughts and asked the female shopkeeper with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, the cost of getting this stuff is quite expensive, isn't it?"

"Yes, the price of these goods is already very low. The money earned is just enough to support the family and have enough food and drink."

"Then what is the purchase price of these Baili Xinxiang cakes, shopkeeper?"

As soon as Jin Tiantian asked the question, the female shopkeeper paused and couldn't help but look at Jin Tiantian again, her eyes full of inquiry and scrutiny.

Jin Tiantian smiled.

"Boss, you don't have to be on guard against me. Actually, I'm here to ask you something. I don't want to buy your goods, but I want to sell them to you."

"To be honest, I have some incense on hand. If you buy it from me, it will be more cost-effective. Uh... the price is cheaper, so you can make a profit."

"As long as you buy the goods from me, you can sell the same goods at a lower price. Wouldn't a shop with good quality and low prices do better business?"

The female shopkeeper stared at Jin Tiantian with suspicion and surprise, unable to believe it.

"Cheaper? How is that possible? These incense and medicines I bought from peddlers are all smuggled goods. They are already the cheapest."

Jin Tiantian kept asking.

"How much money do you get for the goods?"

The female shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, smiled and refused to say anything.

If your capital goes bankrupt and you lose your job, you will suffer a huge loss.

She doesn't believe such words that come from just words.

Maybe this woman also wants to do the perfume and medicine business, and came to her specifically to inquire about the market situation.

If you really have the goods, how could you not know the cost of making incense?

You were just saying it was expensive.

Jin Tiantian knew that she would not be able to pry open the mouth of the female shopkeeper unless she used her ultimate move.

"Okay, let's not talk about the cost first, let's just take a look at the quality of the goods."

As Jin Tiantian spoke, she opened the online shopping mall that only she could see, searched for incense without leaving a trace, picked out the cheap ones and placed two orders at random.

"I have not only incense cakes but also scented candles. I have two boxes of samples with me that I can show you."

Jin Tiantian really pretended to take out two boxes of online shopping goods from her tattered clothes.

He removed the wooden stopper from one of the dark green glass bottles.

"Shopkeeper, here are two taels of goods. Please light a fire so that you can feel the fragrance yourself."

The female shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up when she looked at the tea-flavored scented candle that Jin Tiantian had placed on the counter. She widened her eyes in surprise, and her fingertips couldn't help but tremble as she picked up the bottle of tea-flavored scented candle.

"This... this is actually a glass jar?"

How extravagant! Using glass jars to store candles!

"You, you really want me to light it? If you can use an extremely precious glass jar as a vessel, what is the value of this scented candle?"

The female shopkeeper picked it up and looked at it with curiosity, then put it to her nose and sniffed the scent in the glass bottle.

There was a faint aroma wafting from the candle, a very unique and pleasant scent, very different from the aroma of spices she had come into contact with before. She couldn't help but murmur in shock.

"Can candles be used to make incense? This is the first time I've seen this. It's really new."
