A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

There are too many rich people in Jiangzhou Prefecture, and the main street is extremely lively. There are small vendors on both sides of the street, selling everything.

Chen Dafu's eyes were a bit exhausted.

Chen Changsheng, mother and son, chose a roadside noodle stall to sit down, and the shopkeeper greeted them warmly.

A bowl of clear soup noodles costs ten cents, which is almost twice the price in Baishui County. A bowl of pork noodles costs fifteen cents. Chen Changsheng ordered two bowls of pork noodles.

The noodles arrived soon after, and the portion was not small. She took two chopsticks from her bowl and gave them to Dafu.

At this moment, Chen Changsheng was glad that he had become a woman, his appetite was much smaller, and he would not waste what he couldn't finish, leaving it to his eldest son.

"Shopkeeper, I would like to ask if you know where the shops selling daily necessities are in Jiangzhou Prefecture?" Chen Changsheng asked, taking a bite of noodles.

"Madam, she is coming from out of town." The shopkeeper wiped the water on his hands and turned around. "We are walking in this alley, and the next street is the busiest area."

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "We are indeed from out of town. When we first entered Fucheng, we wanted to walk around and open our eyes."

The shopkeeper kindly reminded me, "Things on that street are not cheap. Every small item costs one or two taels of silver. Madam, she brought enough money."

After saying that, the shopkeeper continued his work.

After eating the noodles and paying, Chen Changsheng and Dafu went to the busiest main street.

Qingxianglin Xiangpu.

There are many varieties and specifications of incense in the shop, including string incense, tribute incense, bamboo incense and fire tower incense. It is the first incense shop in Jiangzhou Prefecture. In addition to being sold in the prefecture, the incense in the shop is also sold to surrounding counties.

When Chen Changsheng walked into the shop, Lin Mu was lying on the desk fiddling with the abacus, calculating yesterday's profit in the shop.

"Madam, what do you want to buy? There are a lot of good things in the shop. Take a look and smell them if you like them." Shopkeeper Lin said loudly.

Chen Changsheng put the wrapped package of mosquito coils on the table and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, I'm not here to buy things, I'm here to sell things."

In Lin Mu's confused eyes, she opened the package, and plates of well-made and black things appeared in front of Lin Mu's eyes.

"This is?"

"This is called mosquito coil, and it's specially used to repel insects and kill mosquitoes. Just light one and you're guaranteed to have a good night's sleep."

Chen Changsheng asked shopkeeper Lin to borrow a fire and lit the mosquito coils. Wisps of light smoke slowly floated and dispersed, and the incense shop exuded a faint scent of ground pine and mugwort.

Shopkeeper Lin sniffed hard and smelled only a few of the smells, and asked doubtfully, "Can this kill mosquitoes?"

Chen Changsheng nodded.

She gestured, and Dafu beside her immediately took out a small, finely woven basket. There was a buzzing sound inside, and the restless sound only made people feel upset.

It turned out that there were too many mosquitoes on the boat last night. Chen Changsheng wanted to light mosquito coils and put them in a pot. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought that selling mosquito coils to Jiangzhou Prefecture might come in handy, so Chen Changsheng and Dafu took out all the mosquitoes one by one. Caught in a small basket.

Chen Changsheng said, "Shopkeeper, there are mosquitoes in here. I throw the mosquito coils in and the mosquitoes can be wiped out without even a cup of tea."

Shopkeeper Lin still didn't quite believe it.

Chen Changsheng broke off a small section of the lit mosquito-repellent incense, asked Dafu to open a small opening in the basket, and stuffed the mosquito-repellent incense through the small opening, letting all the cigarettes scatter in the basket.

Slowly, the buzzing sound in the basket became smaller and smaller, and finally there was no movement at all.

Shopkeeper Lin widened his eyes and asked, "Are all the mosquitoes gone?"

"Shopkeeper, you can open it yourself and take a look."

Lin Mu took the basket and opened the opening carefully, fearing that mosquitoes would fly out, but there was nothing in the opening.

He turned the basket upside down again, and a dense pile of black mosquitoes was dumped on the table.

After a rough count, I estimated there were more than a hundred.

Lin Mu's scalp was numb and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

Lin Mu looked in disbelief, "So many mosquitoes are all dead. Madam's mosquito coils are so powerful!"

Chen Changsheng cursed in his heart, that's not true. Last night, she and Dafu were bitten by more than a dozen mosquitoes all over their bodies in order to catch these mosquitoes, just for today's experiment.

As long as she can win the Qingxiang Lin Incense Shop, it won't take long for everyone in the city to know about her mosquito repellent incense.

Lin Mu couldn't wait and said in a low voice, "May I ask, madam, how do you sell this mosquito repellent incense?"

"There are thirty plates in one pack, three taels in total."

The purchase price is three taels, which is not cheap for shopkeeper Lin, which means that he has to set a higher price to make money.

Shopkeeper Lin thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Mrs. Chen, I want all these mosquito coils from you, but I have one condition, that is, they can only be sold to my Qingxianglin family, and not to other families."

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, your calculation is quite good, but if I only sell it to your family, it will cost more than three taels of silver, and it will have to go up."

Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't say anything, she continued, "Why don't you take a look first? If you think it's suitable, you can go to the Good Luck Inn at the end of the street next door to find me. I'll also go to other places to continue shopping."

Chen Dafu on the side was puzzled. When he came out of the incense shop, he couldn't help but ask, "Mom, the shopkeeper agreed to give us three taels of silver, so we can just sell it to him. Even if we only sell him a shop, we can still sell it to him." Some make money. Why not sell it?"

"His shop can't handle so much of our products."

Chen Changsheng tilted his head as he walked and said, "Do you still remember how many mosquito coils we brought with us when we came to Jiangzhou this time?"

"Including those who rushed to work two days before departure, there are a total of 1,200 coils of mosquito coils."

Chen Dafu remembered rubbing those mosquito-repellent incense balls, which made his hands sore.

"If one customer buys thirty plates, then forty customers are required to buy it. We just entered the shop, did you notice the customers inside?" Chen Changsheng reminded.

Chen Dafu recalled for a moment and said, "There are a few customers in the shop, but not too many. When you were talking to the shopkeeper, there seemed to be two well-dressed customers who paid the bill."

"Well, assuming four customers come to buy mosquito coils a day, it will take ten days to sell out. If there are five customers coming to buy mosquito coils, it will take eight days to sell out.

In eight days, we can make one or two thousand plates of mosquito coils. If we sell them in a shop, how long will it last? "

The mosquito-repellent incense market only lasts for three or four months in summer, so we must seize the opportunity to cast a wide net, expand the market, and expand sales channels.

Chen Dafu had some epiphany, nodded, and then asked, "Then should we go to another incense shop now?"

"No, Qingxianglin is the largest incense shop in Jiangzhou Prefecture. As long as we can capture Qingxianglin, other incense shops will naturally come to us."

"But what if the shopkeeper doesn't come to us?"

Chen Changsheng smiled confidently, "He will come."
