The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

From beginning to end, although Xu Qingye didn't say anything, he was always paying attention to Song Yuntang's emotions. When talking about the Lin family, she was always indifferent, and her emotions didn't even fluctuate.

Only when she mentioned Lin Jingyao did he see anger in her eyes.

The last time the two of them met Lin Jingyao together, she was not enthusiastic towards him, but more of a cold attitude.

Why are you angry?

Did something happen while he was away?

But since Zhuang Ziang was present, he couldn't ask anything.

"Where are you planning to find the source of supply?" Xu Qingye changed the subject.

"I heard from Manager Li of Baicaotang that there are several medicinal materials wholesale businesses in the county dock area. I want to go there to take a look, but before I go there, I still have some things to do." Song Yuntang had a faint smile on his face.

A look of understanding flashed across Xu Qingye's eyes.

"Going to Zhu Mansion?"

Song Yuntang's eyes lit up, "How did you know?"

"You asked me about peppers last time, and I guessed that you might be going for that." Xu Qingye expressed his guess.

"What about you?" Song Yuntang asked.

"Lord Zhu introduced me to a highly respected teacher. Today I am mainly going to meet that teacher." Xu Qingye answered truthfully.

Looking at the two of them talking back and forth, Zhuang Ziang felt a bit redundant, but he didn't want to interrupt them rashly, so he could only close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

……

An hour later, the carriage arrived in Anyang County.

After Song Jinsheng helped Song Yuntang jump off the carriage, he handed the reins to Zhuang Ziang.

"Thank you!"

Zhuang Ziang waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."

Xu Qingye stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at Song Yuntang.

"I'll probably be done by noon. I'll be waiting for you at the city gate to go back together."

"it is good."

Song Yuntang responded and entered the city with Song Jinsheng.

This was Song Jinsheng's first time in the county town, so everything he saw was new to him. However, this was not Song Yuntang's first time here. When the original owner was in the Lin family, he had pestered Lin Jingyao to come to the county town.

But after a long time, my impression of the county town has become a little vague, so I can only walk through the streets according to the direction I remember.

Soon, the two came to a rouge shop.

"Hibiscus Residence."

The size of the rouge shop is only medium in Anyang County, but this street is crowded and the goods in the shop are also dazzling.

Song Yuntang took the basket of shampoo from Song Jinsheng and walked into the shop to take a look. The quality of the goods here was above average, which was suitable for her positioning.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any hair washing supplies in this shop?"

The shopkeeper was stunned. "Don't you use soap nuts to wash your hair? We don't have soap nuts here. We have to go to the grocery store."

Because the shop was full of women, Song Jin was afraid of disturbing the customers so he did not go into the shop. He just stood at the door and watched Song Yuntang and the shopkeeper communicate.

At first, the shopkeeper's expression was not very enthusiastic. I don't know what Song Yuntang said to him, but his expression relaxed. He called a little girl in the shop and took her to the backyard.

After a while, the shopkeeper asked someone to watch the counter and then went to the backyard.

About a quarter of an hour later, Song Yuntang walked out of Furongju with a smile. In the basket in her hand, there was one less bottle of shampoo, but one more: a deposit and a contract given to her by the accountant of Furongju.

Song Jinsheng reached out and took the basket from her hand, wondering, "Tang'er, what were you doing just now?"

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Of course it's business."

"It's done? What did you say?"

Looking at his puzzled expression, Song Yuntang felt that if he got busy in the future, he might have to ask his brother to help. At least, he seemed reliable now, so he briefly told him what had happened.

"I told him that the new product could boost their business, and then I told him how I sell it in my own shop. Finally, I had someone demonstrate the effect of the product to him. Businessmen are profit-driven, so they won't refuse a business that can make money. And even if he doesn't do it, there will always be someone willing to do it."

Song Jinsheng nodded, walked beside her and asked, "How much did he order from you?"

"The first batch is 300 cans. He said that if there is a good response after the products arrive, he will immediately order the second batch."

The owner of Furongju is a cautious person. Her shop in town sold nearly 200 cans when it opened yesterday. There are many people in the county town and the consumption level is higher than in the town, so business will only be better. 300 cans may not be enough to sell.

The wholesale price she gave was thirty wen, and three hundred jars was nine taels of silver. She had just received a deposit of five taels of silver, and would settle the balance of four taels of silver after the goods were delivered.

"So are we going to the docks to look for supplies next?"

Perhaps Song Jinsheng had never experienced such a thing, and a sense of urgency suddenly arose in his heart. Furongju had ordered 300 cans of shampoo, and the bamboo cans he brought to the town in the morning were only enough to deliver to the county town.

If he finishes things here sooner and goes back, he can help make a few more jars.

Song Yuntang shook his head calmly and said, "Don't worry, the county town is so big, we have finally come here once, let's go to two more houses."

Song Jinsheng followed her with a look of trepidation on his face. "What if they order too much? Will we be able to handle it?"

Song Yuntang slowed down his pace slightly and glanced in his direction. "If you're too busy, you can ask someone to help. Besides, we can agree on a delivery time from the beginning. It's not like if we order it today, it doesn't have to be delivered tomorrow."

"Then when will it be delivered?" Song Jinsheng asked again.

"The three days that Furongju and I agreed on will be here." She glanced in Song Jinsheng's direction. "When the time comes, Second Brother, please find time to come to the county town with Mu Dong to send me off. Apart from you two, I can't think of anyone else I can trust in business matters."

Song Jinsheng blurted out, "Is Xu Qingye not trustworthy?"

Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "He has his own things to do, and he and I haven't gotten married yet, so it's not good for me to bother him all the time."

Hearing this, Song Jinsheng's face was full of pride, "Now I know how good my brother is."

"Yes, yes, you're the best." Song Yuntang pulled his arm and walked quickly to another street. "We have to hurry. The sun will rise to the top of our heads soon and it will dry us out."

Next, the two of them went to two shops in different directions.

One of them was a rouge shop slightly larger than Furongju, called Wan Qingsi.

Wan Qingsi is luxuriously decorated, and the goods inside are all of the highest quality. Almost everything that comes here can be sold at a good price.

The shopkeeper felt that Song Yuntang's shampoo was suitable for Wan Qingsi, so he asked the maid in the shop to try it. The maid was very satisfied with its effect, but she looked down on her packaging. So she only ordered the shampoo from her and they would provide the packaging themselves.

She also asked Song Yuntang to add some rare medicinal herbs to the shampoo to distinguish it from the products she was already selling.

Song Yuntang agreed to all of them. Since the cost was rising, her wholesale price would just increase accordingly. She could skip the intermediate packaging process, and as long as she could make money, she was happy.

Because Wan Qingsi was a custom-made shampoo, Song Yuntang added ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum to the formula after discussing with the shopkeeper. The minimum order was one thousand jars, and she paid her the full amount of fifty taels of silver.
