Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Full of wine and food.

Xia Bai'an and Qian Mingshu left after eating with peace of mind.

On the way home, Qian Mingshu looked at Xia Bai'an suspiciously: "Don't you appreciate the craftsmanship of Pinxiang Pavilion? Why did you say that last sentence, as if you can find another next family."

"I really don't know."

Xia Bai'an watched from a distance that many people outside Chenxiang Pavilion had left, and said with a smile, "Yunxue is stupid, but fortunately she has a lot of money and is backed by the Prime Minister's Mansion. Some people will do what she wants to do. Today There is the first Zhou Lan, and there will be a second soon...Maybe, I can really find other good shops to cooperate with, not necessarily."

"..."

Every time Qian Mingshu listened to her talk, he felt that he was listening to the scriptures.

He didn't quite understand such a complicated idea, so he just kept silent.

As soon as the two returned to the Chenxiang Pavilion, they saw Li Xiuhong sorting out the account books, while Liu Pipa was looking out in front of the door.

Qian Mingshu leaned forward: "Are you waiting for us to come back?"

Embarrassment flashed in Liu Pipa's eyes: "No, it's just that there was some news just now that several rouge shops in the south of the city suddenly started offering discounts, and many customers went to the south of the city. I always feel that it's a bit weird."

"..."

It turned out to be looking at the situation in the market.

Qian Mingshu rubbed his nose resentfully, just as he was about to pass her by, but was stuffed into his hand by Mrs. Tang.

Liu Pipa was still watching the situation on the long street, but her voice gently slid into Qian Mingshu's ears.

"Don't catch a cold."

"Understood." Qian Mingshu happily walked inside holding Mrs. Tang in his arms.

Xia Bai'an stood in front of the door without moving.

Liu Pipa was stared straight at her, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Why don't I have Mrs. Tang?" Xia Bai'an pursed his lips.

Liu Pipa froze for a moment, her fair face turned red visible to the naked eye.

On the contrary, Li Xiuhong in the hall pulled Xia Bai'an in dumbfoundedly: "My good sister, I can't figure out this account book, please help me."

As she said that, she secretly stuffed Xia Bai'an with Mrs. Tang as comfort.

Only then did Xia Bai'an smile, and sat down with Mrs. Tang in his arms to settle the score.

After a while, there were almost only the trustees that had been hired with money left in Chenxiang Pavilion. Liu Pipa went out to inquire about it, and then came back: "Those rouge shops not only offer discounts, but also keep saying that our products are not good. It can be seen that It was on purpose."

"It's okay, it's winter now, rich people are not bad for this, poor people are greedy for cheap, but they can't be greedy for rouge and gouache. Moreover, the materials they buy back in winter are still expensive. If you do this at a low price, you will die." Not us."

Xia Bai'an said it indifferently, but thinking that the other party was deliberately against her, she curled her lips viciously, "Mo Che still has a lot of money left."

"What do you want to do?"

"Let's lower the price too, and compete with them to see...whose pocket will be the first to leak out."

As Xia Bai'an said, he found a piece of wood in person, and under the guidance of Wang Mang and Li Fugui, he made a wooden sign that looked good.

She coolly wrote on it the effect of frostbite ointment on winter frostbite, and hung it at the door of Chenxiang Pavilion.

After all, there is still a fundamental difference between rouge gouache and things that treat frostbite.

Still some passers-by stayed on the side.

But in the evening, Li Xiuhong went out for a while and brought back news.

"Suddenly there is a medical kit for treating chilblain at Jishitang, and the price is cheaper than ours."

Xia Bai'an was leading a group of people to eat, and when he heard this, he just laughed: "The people who use chilblain ointment are poor people, and it is indeed a good idea for them to lower the price. But...

I also have a wall ladder, Qian Laosan, later you go to collect more firewood and come back, spend some money, find two firewood dealers, and ask them to raise the price, just for two or three days. "

Qian Mingshu took two bites of rice: "Firewood? Didn't I buy a lot of charcoal before I saw your house?"

"Stupid."

Xia Bai'an taunted him mercilessly, "Wouldn't firewood be needed to boil medicinal materials to treat chilblain? No matter how cheap their medicinal materials are, they still need to make a fire and add water to boil for a long time. Our chilblain ointment is more cost-effective."

Li Xiuhong asked: "Since ours is a good deal, everyone will know after comparing it, and there is no need to spend money on firewood."

"Comparison?" Xia Bai'an chuckled, "Not everyone who can afford it will plan carefully. Also, I still have use for this firewood. It's not a loss if I buy it. I can also use the price of firewood to remind everyone of the cost of chilblain treatment. No matter how high it is, just follow this."

Although Li Xiuhong and Qian Mingshu still hadn't realized it, they still did it.

Within two days.

No one cares about Jishitang's medicinal materials for treating chilblains, because the poor can't afford the suddenly expensive firewood, and they don't have so much time to boil it into a paste.

Yun Xue was so angry that she scolded Qin Xun angrily: "Why don't you make that chilblain ointment!"

Qin Xun said with a dark face, "Our Jishitang sells medicinal materials. The Chinese New Year is coming, and every family's supplements and herbs will be given away. There are not many people. How can someone come here to cook chilblain ointment?"

"Then why is her Chenxiang Pavilion available?" Yun Xue was even more upset.

"Because there are not many things in Chenxiang Pavilion, with just a few things, six or seven people can take care of them."

Qin Xun's face was also as black as the bottom of a pot.

Large stores have their own advantages, but at the same time, sometimes it is difficult for them to respond quickly to the rapid point-to-point attacks of small stores, especially when they were busy years ago.

"useless!"

Yunxue flung her sleeves and left. As soon as she left Jishitang, Dahai hurried over: "Miss, the price of Chenxiang Pavilion is too low, and the rouge shops in the south of the city dare not rashly lower it..."

"Idiot, I still have so much money in my hand, I'll give it to them! Let them beat the price for me, and make sure that Chenxiang Pavilion dies in this winter!"

Yun Xuenu came from it.

It was impossible for her to watch Xia Bai'an start the business.

She cannot be allowed to gain a firm foothold in the capital!

Otherwise, the secret will surface in the future, and she will not be able to get Mo Che!

Yunxue paid for it out of her own pocket, and the people from the Yanzhi Shop in the south of the city were naturally willing to help.

There seemed to be a lot less people in Chenxiang Pavilion.

But Xia Bai'an was making plans in front of the counter, smiling: "Our chilblain ointment and hibiscus clear dew are both selling well. Although the profit has been suppressed a bit, it's good to save money on buying entrustment!"

Liu Pipa looked at the deserted storefront, and then glanced at the ledger in Xia Bai'an's hand, feeling relieved.

"Although there is no entrustment, the store looks deserted, but there is indeed a loss of expenditure."

"What about the firewood I bought?" Li Xiuhong pointed helplessly at the pile of firewood in the backyard.

Xia Bai'an smiled sweetly: "Fairly ordered people to drag the things to the Forbidden Army Garden, and said that the captain's wife earned money in winter, and she was worried that the people in the north would have a difficult winter, so she donated all of it for Captain Mo Che."
