The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

The shop was small, and the wooden shelves were filled with items. They felt it was too monotonous, so they bought a few pots of green plants to plant on the shelves.

Merchant Liu stood up and looked around the shop. "The items are good, but they are too simple. If you take them to the capital to sell to dignitaries, you can carve patterns on the toothbrushes and make the tooth powder boxes into exquisite small copper boxes. Those people will think they are high-quality goods at first sight and will naturally buy more."

Jiang Shian nodded. He knew all this. But where to sell it and how much it would cost depended on the local economic situation.

They had no connections and no money to go to Beijing. Any shop in this town would cost more than five taels, not to mention that there was no capital or connections in Beijing. Let alone making money, even survival was a problem.

In this small place, the richest people are the masters of some big families or the wealthy. The consumption level in the town is not high, so the prices can't be too high.

"Our place is small, and only those who have money saved and can easily afford to eat can afford a set of fifteen coins. The capital is rich, so if Brother Liu takes it to the capital to buy it, I have a good carpenter who can make the box for you, or you can package it yourself. The main thing is that this toothpaste and tooth powder are rare, and no one wants to sell it yet. Brother Liu can take it back and try it out first to see how it works."

Jiang Shian's tone was neither hurried nor slow. Although he was asking for cooperation, his words and actions never showed any intention of condescending to anyone, but were more sincere.

Liu Chengqi didn't show it on his face, but he was very satisfied in his heart. This young man was quite good and someone who could accomplish great things.

"The shop has just opened, and everything is not stable yet. We will continue to add other products in the future. For example, soaps and body wash products. If our cooperation is successful, I will definitely get the goods from Brother Liu as soon as they are made." Jiang Shian continued.

Since he can say it, it means he has a way to make something better and sell more widely. Now you can give the other party some reassurance, and trust will be established as you cooperate more.

"Hahahaha, okay. Then I'll look forward to you making more and better things in the future. You don't have to rush for the things. I have a good friend in Yuanxi Town, and I'll be staying in the town for a while."

He paused and continued, "Five days later, you can replenish the stock. I will buy toothpaste and tooth powder from you in the future."

As Liu Chengqi spoke, he opened the folding fan in his hand and sat back on the stool, swaying.

Jiang Shian and Ji Yinghuai looked at each other and smiled, finally the deal was done.

Then the three of them discussed the price again.

They sold them for fifteen cents in the town, but businessman Liu wanted more and ordered three thousand sets directly, so the two men charged him fourteen cents per set.

It's not that they don't want to save a few more cents. This thing is only sold so cheaply in this small place. If you take it to other places, many people will buy it for more than 30 or 40 cents.

Liu Chengqi didn't care about this. It was just a few taels of silver. He didn't take it to heart at all.

As for the things, he has his own ways to sell them all.

Merchant Liu did not go directly to Beijing. He also had to travel around the north to collect some other goods to sell here.

As for the toothbrush and toothpaste box I mentioned earlier, they are not needed at the moment.

Merchant Liu doesn't need it urgently, and they can prepare it completely in five days.

They had already prepared everything, including paper, pen, and ink pad for fingerprints.

Ji Yinghuai wrote down the issues regarding cooperation in detail and showed it to Liu Shangmer to confirm that there were no problems. Liu Shangmer then copied a copy for himself. Then the three of them signed their names on two copies of the paper and pressed their fingerprints on them.

This is also to leave evidence so that if there are any problems in the future, there will be an explanation.

It was getting dark and the sun was about to set.

Liu Chengqi didn't plan to stay for long, as he had to go to another town to visit his old friend. After calculating the total amount of money he needed to pay, he raised his hand and asked his men to pay them off.

Although so much was sold, it was actually only less than five taels of silver.

Jiang Shian felt quite sad. This money was really hard to earn.

Three thousand sets are not a lot. They have sold two to three thousand sets in just these two days in one town. The other party has gone to more than one town. They just want to get some to test the waters first. They will probably come to him to place an order again.

The two men escorted Merchant Liu to the door, watched him leave, and then returned to the shop to put away all the paper and pens. Then they closed the shop door and planned to get the carriage first.

It's getting late, and I'll be tired and hungry if I go back to cook. I'll eat in town later before going home.

There were several horse markets in town, but it was getting late and two of the shops were closed.

Jiang Shian didn't quite understand these things, so he relied on Ji Yinghuai to make the decision.

While choosing, Ji Yinghuai talked to him about how to distinguish which horses were good and top-quality horses, and which ones looked good and were particularly strong but were actually old horses that would become useless in a few years.

The man spoke very logically and Jiang Shian nodded as he listened.

However, after looking at the first few, both of them were a little disappointed, and Ji Yinghuai didn’t like any of them.

Now we are entering the last shop.

Looking at the stables one by one, Ji Yinghuai shook his head after observing them. Not to mention the best horses, there were not even any slightly better ones.

Now we have reached the last stable.

As soon as the two of them walked in, the horse in the stable snorted and kicked the closed door.

Jiang Shian was startled. The horses he had seen at the several horse shops just now were all quite docile, except for this one, which they hadn't even approached yet.

The groom who went in to feed the horses came out cursing and rubbing his butt as he walked, obviously he was kicked hard.

Seeing the shopkeeper, he immediately complained: "Oh, shopkeeper, if you really can't do anything else, just kill the horse and sell it. It's too fierce. Next time I won't dare to go in and feed it."
