"Thirty-five cents each, and each person is limited to one at a time." Yuanbao shouted loudly.

Although all these were written on a sign placed on the cart, he still repeated it professionally. Song Youan smiled but did not say anything and did not participate, just standing in the shade in the corner and watching from a distance.

As expected, as soon as they heard about the purchase restriction, there was a lot of noise in the queue.

“Why are there still purchase restrictions?”

"That's right, I was planning to buy ten at once!"

"It probably won't take long for one, right?"

"I heard that it's different from the liquid one the young marquis used. This one is solid."

"Of course it's different. Thirty-five cents, and you expect the same as the young marquis?"

Although some people complained, at least no one resisted. They could just buy more when they ran out of it.

Caicai was responsible for delivering the items to the customers, Yuanbao was responsible for counting and giving change, and the student who worked and studied was responsible for keeping accounts while watching Yuanbao counting the money.

Everything was in good order. The long queue attracted the curiosity of many people, who came up to ask questions.

When people heard that it was a magical thing that could refresh the mind, many people joined the queue. This thing is not exclusive to students. People who like to feel sleepy while working can use it. Moreover, its smell can repel mosquitoes. It works wonders when applied on the body in summer.

After all, thirty-five coins are not enough to buy the people of Kyoto any loss or deception.

In just one hour, all 200 boxes of Fengyoujing were sold out.

Finally, Song Youan gave a box of Fengyoujing to the accountant. The scholar was so touched that he kept thanking her, "Thank you, young lady, for giving us, the poor students, the opportunity to use such a good thing."

Song Youan smiled without saying anything, just nodded slightly. The other party bowed and thanked him again before turning and leaving.

"Sister, I made a lot of money."

The wooden box was heavy and filled to the brim with broken copper coins.

Cai Cai whispered, "Sister, let's set up the stall again this afternoon. This thing is really selling well, and many people haven't bought it yet."

Yuanbao also nodded.

Song Youan patted their heads and said softly, "Two hundred a day. This is my plan. Come back tomorrow. I won't accompany you tomorrow."

When they returned to the yard, Yuanshou and Yuansui had actually returned earlier than them.

"Have you sold out too?" Yuanbao came forward excitedly and found that the two were counting copper coins.

Yuan Sui ran to Song Youan and said as if to take credit: "Sister, we sold it very quickly. Brother Yuanshou counted the money very quickly. Even the older brother who was keeping the accounts could hardly keep up."

Song Youan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard it, and looked at Yuanshou with a smile.

Yuanshou scratched his head embarrassedly and explained to Song Youan, "Sister, I may have some talent in arithmetic, but... I just can't read."

I can only count, but I can't read.

This is pure talent then.

Soon Yuanshun, Yuanqing, Yuanfu and Yuanxiao also came back. It was obvious that the business on the first day was going well, and everyone sold out at about the same time.

A group of people gathered in the yard and poured the copper coins all over the ground, forming a small mountain in an instant.

A total of 800 boxes of Fengyoujing were sold today, with a unit price of 35 wen, so the total amount is wen money.

According to the Dazhao exchange rate, one tael of silver is equal to 1000 wen, so the total amount received today is 28 taels of silver.

According to the system's exchange rate, ten taels of silver is equal to ten thousand yuan, so she can make a profit by selling 1600 bottles of Fengyoujing in about two days.

The remaining box of Fengyoujing is pure profit.

Although the profit from the Fengyoujing is insignificant given her current assets, a businessman cannot ignore profits and cannot lose money. This is her principle as a businessman.

What surprised Song Youan was that after a group of people counted all the copper coins together, they found that they were exactly the same as the accounts, and not a single copper coin was missing.

"You guys are great. You didn't make any mistakes in the calculations!" Song Youan praised them sincerely.

The children grinned foolishly. Yuan Shun said, "Your brain isn't very sharp to begin with, so naturally you need to be more focused and careful."

"Then sister will reward you today." Song Youan said, picking up a stack of copper coins and counting them.

Her original idea was that two people would form a team, and for every box of Fengyoujing sold, the two of them would get a total commission of five cents.

Today each team has 200 boxes, which is a total of 1000 coins, and each person can get coins.

"Each of you will be paid 500 wen today. Since you all performed very well, I will reward you with an additional 100 wen each, making a total of 600 wen!"

It was too tiring for her to divide the coins by herself, so she simply said to her brothers and sisters, "Count them yourselves, and put away your coins after you have counted them."

In the end, after she finished speaking, the children just stared at her and no one did anything.

"Sister, we don't need so much money." Yuanbao spoke first.

The others nodded as well. Yuan Qing said cautiously, "We are already satisfied as long as we have food to eat."

Song Youan sighed, "Didn't I make this clear to you? Hard work pays off. I'm not a landlord, so how can I let you just work and not earn money?"

"Listen up, each of you count 600 copper coins, and let me see who can count the fastest."

Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other, and the desire to win began to emerge in their eyes.

Yuanshou was the first to take action. He was the best at math, so he definitely couldn't lose in this round.

Seeing this, the others also rushed to count the copper coins. Song Youan couldn't help but smile with relief. She felt that she had made the right decision.

These children are all good, obedient and sensible children.

Moreover, if it weren't for them, she would probably still be trying to figure out how to market the Fengyoujing. After all, the profit is small, and it would definitely not be cost-effective for her to sell it alone.

Having these younger brothers and sisters is actually the best of both worlds.

However, in the long run, it is not a good idea for children to be illiterate, because they may need the knowledge in the future.

Song Youan was already thinking in his mind as he looked at them. Since they didn't have much time to set up the stall every day, it would be great if they could use the remaining time to read and learn to read.

The business was a great success, and in the evening Song Youan took them to Zhaixing Tower.

Zhaixinglou is one of the eight great restaurants in Kyoto. It is famous for its Huaiyang cuisine and is one of the most upscale restaurants in Kyoto.

These children were naturally familiar with Zhaixing Tower. When they were begging in the past, they loved to wait at the back door of Zhaixing Tower because they found that rich people who came to the restaurant to eat always just chatted and didn't eat. They could also pick out a lot of fish and meat, some of which they didn't even touch their chopsticks.

This was the first time they entered through the main entrance as guests, and they were so excited that they were a little overwhelmed.

The Zhaixing Tower was packed with guests, and the private rooms had already been booked. The waiter arranged for several people to sit at a round table on the first floor.

Seeing the waiter diligently serving tea and water, Cai Cai couldn't help but lean over to Song Youan and whisper in her ear, "Sister, this guy chased my brother and me away before. He was really fierce."
