Knowing that she could use the perfume immediately, the Fifth Miss happily thanked her, "Thank you, Madam Qian."

Yan Muxi smiled and said, "Miss Fifth, you are too polite. It's just a set of skin care products. It's not worth much!"

As they were talking, the group entered the banquet hall. Yan Muxi took a flat wooden box from Yu Shui's hand and handed it to the nanny in charge of receiving the gifts.

The box is made of huanghuali wood. Not only is it engraved with exquisite magnolia patterns, but it is also inlaid with lustrous pink pearls. Not to mention the gifts inside, the box itself is very valuable.

"Isn't the content in this box a new type of skin care product?" The question was asked by a charming and seductive woman.

Yan Muxi looked at the nanny in confusion, and the nanny introduced her hurriedly, "This is Madam Mei from the mansion."

"Hello, Madam." Yan Muxi knelt down and saluted. "The box contains our Xianzitang skin care products, including fairy water, fairy milk, fairy cream and perfume. But what I'm giving to Madam Li today is a diamond set gift box, which is only sold ten sets per quarter, and the price is a little higher."

A short while after she finished speaking, Mrs. Mei said leisurely, "This is my first time doing business in Bingcheng, Madam Qian is really thoughtful."

Yan Muxi understood the hidden meaning of Mei's words, but did not respond.

Everyone in Bingcheng knows that Li's concubine, Mrs. Mei, is the mistress of the Li family. Mrs. Mei asked about the skin care gift box in person, obviously wanting her to take the initiative to offer it.

But she has already hooked up with Princess Jin. Princess Jin and Madam Li are both principal wives, and they would definitely not want to associate with concubines. If she wants to hold on to the most powerful supporter, she can no longer try to please both sides, and can only offend Mei in front of her.

After the birthday banquet, Yan Muxi sent all the hundreds of skin care product sets she had in her hands to the inner courtyards of various wealthy families, and spent several hundred taels of silver in teahouses and theaters to promote the new skin care products.

After all the operations, before Xianzitang opened for business, the name of its perfumes and new skin care products had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Ice City.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and on July 16th, Xianzitang officially opened for business.

There was a serious class division in North Vietnam, and common people in the South City could not enter the North City without a pass from the government.

Therefore, there were not many people watching the fun. There were only carriages and horses outside the gate of Xianzitang, but it was not too crowded. They were all valid customers who came to buy skin care products.

To facilitate sales, Yan Muxi divided the grades of skin care gift boxes into four levels, namely the affordable copper package, the fine silver package, the high-priced gold package, and finally the limited edition diamond package.

The limited edition diamond gift box that was given to the prefect's wife as a birthday gift was only available in three sets in the first quarter, and the price was set at nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, which was enough to buy two five-story mansions in Ice City.

The cheapest copper gift box was not cheap either, costing 18 taels, enough for an ordinary family to eat and drink for three years. The remaining silver and gold boxes were priced at 100 taels each.

When Dong Yu first heard the price, he touched Yan Muxi's forehead three times in a row, thinking that she was confused due to fever.

It is understandable for a lady from a wealthy family to spend dozens or hundreds of taels to buy a set of skin care products, but to spend tens of thousands of taels, you must be crazy.

Yan Muxi did not explain too much to Dong Yu. Whether the skin care products can be sold will be known later.

What the rich and powerful never compete with each other is who lives a better life, but rather vanity and face. Power can achieve vanity and face, and so can money.

For example, when Magistrate Li's wife had diamond-encrusted skin care products, his concubine Mei tried her best to get them too, even if it meant spending a huge amount of money, just to satisfy her vanity and face.

In the past month, Yan Muxi went to the Li Mansion twice. Mei used words to pressure her every time, wanting her to hand over the diamond-filled skin care product gift box with both hands. Later, she even offered to buy it with money, but she politely refused.

But Mei did not get what she wanted, and she is afraid that there will be more troubles in the future.

Of the three diamond boxes produced by Xianzitang in the first quarter, Yan Muxi gave one set to the prefect's wife and the other two sets to Prince Jin's Mansion. It was impossible for her to give an extra set to Mei, so the unobtainable thing made it more precious.

Before noon, the 200 sets of skin care products on the shelf had been sold out.

When another customer came, Yan Muxi asked the female waiter to register the customer's residence and the goods they needed. After the deposit was paid in advance, someone would deliver the goods directly to the customer's residence the next day.

It was not until sunset that Xianzitang closed its doors.

In the backyard room, Dong Yu counted the silver coins and sighed, "These milky things are more expensive than gold. I thought it would be good if I could sell a few sets, but I didn't expect so many people to be sucked... We are going to make a fortune!"

"Look at your ignorant look. This is just the beginning. We have just made back our investment!" Yan Muxi said with a smile.

Ice City is close to Hai City, and the pockets of officials, officials, and wealthy merchants are all well-off. As long as the items are eye-catching and novel, they are willing to pay for them. It is no wonder that the business is so good.

"I earned back the investment in one day, and from now on it's all profit." Dong Yu's eyes were filled with golden light when he thought of the dozens of large vats of perfumes and skin care products in the workshop.

Now she firmly believed what her young lady often said, that the young lady had the genes of a wealthy family and was born to make money.

If she hangs out with the young lady, she is guaranteed to enjoy a life of luxury and comfort.

The next day, Yan Muxi did not continue to guard the shop, but went to Prince Jin's Mansion with Yu Shui.

In the reception room of the palace, Princess Jin looked at the share deed in front of her, frowned and asked in confusion: "What does Madam Qian mean by this?"

They were all thousand-year-old monsters, so Yan Muxi didn't beat around the bush and stated her intentions directly, "Thanks to the care of the princess, I have made money as soon as I came to Ice City to do business. From ancient times to the present, money has always been attractive. If I want to gain a foothold in Ice City for a long time, I will need the care of the princess in the future."

Princess Jin is not short of money and does not want to have too close ties with merchants. She protects Yan Muxi a little bit to repay the favor of sending her the medicine. If she wants to wade into the muddy water, that little favor may not be enough.

"This princess does not like doing business, so she will not get involved with Madam Qian!"

Yan Muxi was not annoyed and handed over yesterday's account book. When Princess Jin saw the number of nearly 30,000 taels, she was inevitably shocked.

She earned 30,000 taels of silver a day, and after deducting half of the cost, she made a net profit of more than 10,000 taels of silver. If she could get 10% of the profit, she could earn more than 1,000 taels of silver a day, which would be 30,000 taels a month, which was equivalent to the annual income from her dowry farm and shop.

However, she still didn't want to take on the trouble at hand, because there is no money that comes from the wind in the world.

Bingcheng is different from other prefectures. Prince Jin only cares about eating, drinking and having fun. He does not take power or take care of affairs. All matters of Bingcheng, big or small, are in the hands of Prefect Li.

Xianzitang is making so much money that Magistrate Li will not just sit there and watch. Sooner or later he will take action to grab the business for himself.

If Princess Jin accepted this 10% profit, it would be like competing with the local tyrants for food, and would bring herself into a big trouble.

"I know that the princess is of noble birth, and she is not short of money nor does she love money, but no one would dislike having too much money. In addition, my husband has some connections with the merchants in Jiangnan. If the princess accepts this 10% profit, I can promise to find a bottle of Xiaoxiang Pavilion pills for her every six months."
