After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Since Huizhen's mother agreed that day, Huizhen has been living in the provincial capital permanently.

Considering that Zhao'er would be seven years old soon, Jinchu cleaned up the east room of the main house and let Zhao'er live there alone, while she moved to the west room.

Originally, a side room was reserved for Huizhen, but Huizhen said she was lonely and insisted on living with Jinchu.

Jin Chu didn't care about such a small matter, so she added another quilt on the bed, and the two sisters began to live in the same room.

The next day, after sending Zhao'er back, Huizhen had already arranged the raw materials and started to work. Jinchu washed his hands, changed into casual clothes, and sat down to help Huizhen.

Because of their experience, the two were more efficient this time, and the loss of raw material ratio was less than before, but the quality was improved.

This time they bought more raw materials, so the workload for the two was also heavier. Jinchu and Huizhen worked hard for eight days before they managed to turn all the raw materials into balsam and pancreas.

This time, 183 boxes of perfume powder, 226 bottles of perfumed balm, and 367 pieces of perfumed soap were produced, which was obviously more than the first time.

Looking at the fruits of their labor in front of them, the two rubbed their waists and smiled at each other, thinking that all the hard work was finally worth it!

"Jin'er, this batch of goods is finally ready! It's been nine days since we last delivered the goods. Do you think we should go and see how our cosmetics and soaps are selling?" Huizhen asked Jinchu, looking at her curiosity.

Jin Chu was actually thinking about this problem. Before, the new cosmetics had not been made yet. Even if she wanted to know the sales of Yangyanfang, she couldn't go and ask empty-handed.

It would be fine if sales were not good, but if sales were good and Li Meiniang asked her for the goods, she would have a hard time responding.

Now that she has this batch of finished products in her hands, she feels more confident!

It is indeed possible to find out the sales of the previous batch of cosmetics and powder, so as to adjust the quantity of raw material purchases based on the sales volume.

Thinking of this, Jinchu winked at Huizhen and said with a smile, "No day is worse than today! Our new cosmetics are already made, so why not go to the beauty salon and take a look now!"

They left as soon as they said they would. After putting away the finished products, they turned around and went out to the beauty salon.

The store was as busy as ever, and Jinchu was very happy. More customers meant better business, and they could sell more bottles of cosmetics.

A sharp-eyed shop assistant in the store saw Jin Chu, remembered Li Meiniang's instructions, and quickly ran upstairs to report.

Jinchu and Huizhen were just wondering why they hadn't seen Li Meiniang today, when they saw her standing on the stairs, waving and smiling at them: "Whatever you wish for has come true. Come up quickly, both of you!"

When Jinchu saw Li Meiniang's brilliant smile, he knew that the cosmetics would definitely sell well, so he took Huizhen's hand and happily went upstairs.

Arriving at Li Meiniang's room, the waiter served tea. As soon as he closed the door and left, Li Meiniang's cheerful voice reached my ears: "Sister Jin'er, your perfume powder and perfumed cream are selling well, and you've had repeat customers since yesterday. But I didn't expect that the best-selling item is actually your perfumed soap. It cost a hundred yuan, and now there are only three left!"

A great victory!

Jinchu was also very happy with the result. Compared with the three products, the fragrant soap did have a wider audience and was more affordable. Moreover, the fragrant soap was something that could produce obvious effects after just one or two uses, so the feedback from the fragrant soap would also be quicker.

As for cosmetics mainly used by women, since they are slower to take effect, the feedback will naturally appear later in the evening.

"Sister Mei, how are the sales of the powder and balm? How much is left? Have you received any customer reviews?"

"As for the powder, there are only six boxes left in the store, and less than ten bottles of balm left! As for the customer's evaluation,"

Li Mei Niang thought for a moment. "The afternoon before yesterday, the young lady from the Lin family in the city came and specifically asked for a box of perfume powder and a bottle of perfume. I heard that she went to her uncle's house and saw her cousin using them, so she followed suit and bought some. Yesterday morning, the young lady from the Zhao family in the city also sent her maid to buy perfume. I guess they're pretty good, right?"

Jinchu comforted her: "Don't worry, Sister Mei. If my prediction is correct, in six or seven days, repeat customers for the powder and balm should be able to come in!"

"I'm not worried about that. I'm also using these three products from your store. To be honest, they're better than the other powders you've seen in the store. I prefer your balm, and my sister especially likes your powder. She says it adheres to her skin and covers blemishes, and it's better than all the other powders she's had. Now she praises your powder to everyone she meets!"

Thinking of her sister's praise for this perfume, Li Meiniang couldn't help but laugh.

Jinchu and Huizhen also laughed.

Li Mei Niang returned to the main topic: "Sisters, have you finished making new cosmetics? If so, please send them over tomorrow! Especially the scented soap, or it will be sold out if you don't send it soon!"

"Okay, Sister Mei, we will send you another batch tomorrow morning and make sure you don't run out of stock!" Jin Chu agreed with a smile.

Li Mei Niang finally felt relieved and suggested, "I think it would be better if the two girls come to the store every seven days? Firstly, it's for delivery, and secondly, if there's anything, we can communicate promptly. After all, it's not convenient for me to go look for the girls here, right?"

Jin Chu knew that Li Meiniang was worried that she wouldn't be able to find her in case of an emergency, so she asked them to meet at the beauty salon every week.

She didn't want to reveal her address yet, so she nodded and said, "Listen to Sister Mei. From now on, we will come to the store every seven days. If I can't come due to something, Sister Mei can talk to Huizhen."

This is what it means to give Huizhen power!

Li Mei Niang glanced at Hui Zhen who was standing beside her, smiled and nodded, "Sister Jin, when you come to deliver the goods tomorrow, I will also give you the profit from the last batch of goods."

Jin Chu naturally responded without hesitation.

The next day, the two of them delivered a new batch of powder and soap to the beauty shop and counted the quantity with Li Meiniang in person. There were 180 boxes of powder, 2,220 bottles of soap, and 360 pieces of soap, a total of 760 finished products.

After the new goods were inspected and accepted, Li Meiniang also handed over the profits from the previous batch of goods to Jinchu.

Jinchu took a look and saw that it was exactly the same number she and Huizhen had calculated last time, so she asked, "Sister Mei, did you give too much? Don't we still have some unsold cosmetics in our store?"

Li Mei Niang was pleased with Jin Chu's attentiveness. She smiled and explained, "This is what our head shopkeeper said. He said that Miss Jin'er's products are good and the store will have no problem selling them. The store also takes 30% of the profit, so each time we settle the profit with you according to the quantity you send in."

She pointed at the new powder on the table and told Jinchu, "Our shopkeeper said that since the store doesn't bear the cost, we don't have to bet on Miss Jin'er's profits anymore. We'll settle your profits based on the amount of goods delivered that day. Only in the last month of the year will your profits be settled based on the actual sales volume."

This method is very good. It is equivalent to making advance payments in the early part of the year and only following the rule of selling first and paying later in the last month.

This actually transfers most of the risks in the sales process to Yangyanfang, which is the return made by Manager Chen to Jinchu for the concessions he made when he first discussed cooperation with him.

Although he knew that these products were in great demand and were unlikely to be unsold, Shopkeeper Chen's style of doing things still won Jin Chu's favor and admiration. No wonder he could do such a good business.

On that day, in addition to the first profit, Jin Chu took home 70% of the profit from the second batch of cosmetics, totaling 180 taels and 400 wen.

After deducting the cost of thirty taels, Huizhen's monthly salary and the 10% profit of sixteen taels of silver, the profit of this batch of goods was more than one hundred and thirty taels.

After two transactions, Jin Chu made a net profit of 150 taels.

At this rate, she would be able to save up enough this year to have received the five hundred taels of silver from the man in black, and be debt-free!

Thinking that he would soon be able to escape poverty and become prosperous with his own abilities, Jin Chu showed his first happy and joyful smile since coming to this other world.

It feels so good to be in control of yourself and be self-reliant!
