Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Less than two acres of medicinal herbs, after being harvested and processed, yielded only a little over 800 catties. Ru Xiu sold 200 catties of Panax notoginseng and 300 catties of Angelica sinensis, earning over 1,300 taels of silver. The remaining herbs were stored in her space.

Ru Xiu still wanted to continue hoarding food in her space despite having received the silver.

Shopkeeper Qian felt it was a pity that Ruxiu hadn't sold out, as her goods were much better than what the shop had acquired.

I haven't been to Xianshufang since the new manager, Ruxiu. I have to take this opportunity to get to know her.

Just like in modern times, the bosses in the fashion industry are all fashionistas. Mei Niang was transferred from the neighboring Laicheng County. She is nearly forty years old, but her temperament and figure are very good. At first glance, she looks like a young woman in her twenties.

"I've heard of Ruxiu's great name for a long time, but it's a pity I haven't been able to visit her. I'm so glad to finally see her in person." Mei Niang knew that Sister Zhen was able to return to Shanghang County because she signed Ruxiu's big deal, so she naturally didn't dare to offend this important person.

Most of these branch managers were directly dispatched by the owner. After working hard outside for so many years, who wouldn't want to return to the owner's side and to the prosperous and glamorous world of fame and fortune in Shanghang County?

"I've long admired Mei Niang's name through Sister Zhen, so I rushed here to see you. I was just afraid Mei Niang would find my visits too much of a nuisance." Ru Xiu smiled as well. These shopkeepers were her bread and butter. Since the emperor was far away, these shopkeepers were all capable of making decisions. If she wanted to cooperate with them in the long term, she had to get along well with them.

"Please come upstairs, Miss Ruxiu. Let's have some tea and a chat," Mei Niang said, inviting them upstairs.

“Zhen Niang and I are very close, and it was she who recommended me to the master of the house that brought me to Taocheng.” Mei Niang kept trying to get along well with Ru Xiu.

"I heard you have several children, are they all in school?" It seems they've inquired quite a bit about Ruxiu's family.

"It's because I've been busy with their school these past few days that I've been delayed. Otherwise, I would have come a few days ago. I was just afraid of interfering with your business." Ru Xiu wanted her to know that she had come for a reason.

"What money-making magic weapon did you bring this time? There aren't many people as sharp-minded as you. Your dolls are so popular in Laicheng that we can't even keep up with demand."

"Of course I have some, but I don't know if Mei Niang would like them." As Ru Xiu spoke, she took out the design.

"What is this thing?"

Mei Jie looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Ru Xiu didn't know anything about drawing, portraiture, or 3D pictures. Without seeing the actual object, she couldn't understand it. But the main thing was that there were no such things in this era, so it was no wonder that people were completely confused!

She took out the two schoolbags she had made for Xige and Lege, and Ruxiu carried them on her back for a few steps to demonstrate.

"This is a backpack I made for my child. It serves the same purpose as the book bags carried by scholars in academies, but it is much lighter. It took me a lot of thought to make it."

"Moreover, this backpack isn't just for scholars; it can hold quite a lot of things when you go out, whether you're traveling, shopping, or visiting relatives." This backpack is truly spacious and versatile.

Upon seeing this, Mei Niang's eyes widened in surprise. She thought to herself how lucky she was to have listened to Sister Zhen's advice and come to Taocheng, otherwise such a big order would have gone to someone else.

Ru Xiu's idea is brilliant! This could sell not only to Shanghang County and its various branches, but also to the capital. Mei Niang even feels that her journey to Shanghang County might have to be brought forward.

Ru Xiu put away the samples and patterns, making it impossible for Mei Niang to investigate further.

"However, this is one of a kind, and I don't have the capacity to make it in large quantities right now. What I'm offering you for a buyout price isn't like a doll. I just don't know if Mei Niang would like it?"

This time, Ruxiu didn't plan to sell it cheaply. This was a one-time deal. If their embroiderers could think about this idea more, there would be many more versions of backpacks that could be improved. They could make a fortune by selling them in different branches at different price points. Who doesn't have a few backpacks these days?

"Why don't you just name a price, Ruxiu? If it's within my budget, we can close the deal right away. If the price is too high, I'll ask the client for a better deal." Sister Mei didn't want to miss out on this big order and wanted to secure it safely, because once this opportunity was gone, it wouldn't come again.

"I don't intend to keep something like this for long. It's a one-off deal. Five hundred taels, a fixed price."

Ru Xiu had already thought it through. Putting all different types of things into one basket at Xian Shu Fang might not be a good thing. Even if they were to sell, they couldn't let them easily take the lead.

If they can afford the price, we can continue to cooperate. After all, their Xianshufang brand has a relatively moderate price, and it wouldn't be good if the backpacks were positioned too high.

Such a practical item can only be used by ordinary people if it is placed in a shop with a specific positioning like Xianshufang.

If it were placed in Jinxiulou, the price would definitely be higher, but then it would become an expensive luxury item, which would be too high a barrier for ordinary people.

However, there's nothing that can be done if the price they offer is too low. Ru Xiu isn't a savior, and she can't let others take such a big advantage for nothing. If it doesn't work out, she can always find another buyer.

"Let me think about it." The maximum amount the master can decide for them is only three hundred taels. This is a huge difference, and Sister Mei still needs to consider it. It's not enough to just consider the master's interests; she also needs to avoid risks herself.

"It's alright, I'll go downstairs first to pick out the fabrics we need for next month. Just let me know if you need anything else." Ru Xiu knew they also had their own difficulties; five hundred taels was no small sum.

But just as Ru Xiu had expected, the shopkeeper, who had been in the industry for many years, was discerning. Before Ru Xiu had even chosen the right fabric, Mei Niang had the waiter notify her to go upstairs to sign the contract.

"To be honest, I'm taking a gamble. My employer didn't really give me that much power. If I misjudge him, I'll have invested my whole life's work and my employer's trust in me."

After signing the contract and giving Ruxiu the silver notes, Mei Niang breathed a sigh of relief, patted Ruxiu on the shoulder, and said with a very relaxed tone, it seems that she still has this confidence.

"Don't worry about that. The boss can only praise your vision. You will definitely make a profit. How you operate it is up to you. If I had a business as big as your boss's, I wouldn't sell it so easily."

Those who are used to doing business naturally understand that such ideas are easily imitated without Ru Xiu's reminder. Every snake has its own path, so Ru Xiu won't worry about it for others.

She easily earned nearly two thousand taels a day. If it weren't for Tang Ershi's matter, Ruxiu would have let herself go again.
