Chapter 394: Chapter 397: Focusing on the Wrong Thing_1
Qiao Duo’er led them around and then they sat in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting; it was quite pleasant.
Yang Ruoruo was the first to speak about the mask powder sales, "I and Big Girl got to know quite a few new patrons and sold a total of nineteen boxes, but many people said it’s inconvenient and untrustworthy without a physical store."
In the past, it was sold to people we knew, who paid up readily.
But now that the business had expanded, they were dealing with strangers, and many were afraid that if there was a problem or no effect, they would have nowhere to turn for a complaint.
So they kept asking questions and took a long time to decide whether to buy or not, and even once they had decided, paying was another hassle.
In short, there was just one word to describe it—exhausting!
"I think we should find a shop as soon as possible," Big Girl nodded in agreement.
"I heard that a shop will be vacant soon, but it’s too small; it probably only fits a counter. It wouldn’t be suitable for selling mask powder."
Chen Yiling propped up her chin, somewhat helplessly.
She had already asked many people to look around, but the results were hard to be satisfied with.
"You’ve already done amazing, good locations for shops are few, and shop premises are basically fixed; where can you find one so easily?" Qiao Duo’er paused before saying, "I plan to let Wind Liyang carve names on the boxes to prevent counterfeiting, so we can take our time with the shop matter."
Wind Liyang’s carving skill was sharp and unique, impossible for others to imitate.
This would prevent others from using fake products to deceive customers, who would then wrongly come to them.
Chen Yiling clapped her hands, "That’s a good idea, then I’ll go back and tell them to sell the shop to someone else."
"Don’t rush, I think that shop could be useful for something else," Qiao Duo’er said with narrowed eyes.
A small shop might not work for selling mask powder, but they had more than just mask powder to sell, right?
Tan Zhenghong immediately understood Qiao Duo’er’s meaning, but there was a big problem.
"Up to now, Madam Liang is still eyeing your braised meat recipe; isn’t it inappropriate for us to suddenly open a shop?"
Open attacks are easy to dodge, but secret ones are hard to guard against. If Madam Liang resorted to some underhanded tricks, it would be troublesome.
"That woman is shameless, as slippery as an eel, and you just can’t catch her," Chen Yiling began to vent.
She dreamed of killing that damn Master and Madam Liang.
If it weren’t for their constant meddling, Lord Qin wouldn’t have to work so hard.
But they had been building their influence in White Stone Town for many years; it wasn’t so easy to topple them.
Big Girl said excitedly, "So you do know about being as slippery as an eel! I was planning to take you to catch one later, but now there’s no need."
Cough cough, her focus was somewhat odd.
She chuckled awkwardly, "Just pretend you didn’t hear that, let’s continue."
"It’s settled then, don’t cheat me, let’s... finish talking about the serious matters before we go," Chen Yiling also changed her tune halfway through.
Qiao Duo’er felt a bit like she was frustrated with their intransigence, but let it go, deciding not to nitpick.
She hurriedly finished discussing the matters, then let them go play.
"I believe that the law is clear; Madam Liang probably wouldn’t dare to mess around, otherwise there will always be clues that let us catch her in the act."
Just like the last time Xiao Biyu released snakes; if it had been someone else’s home, they might have just cursed their luck, but when it came to her, despite going around in such a big circle, didn’t they still find evidence in the end?
Now, wasn’t she obediently waiting in jail?
"I agree, we should take the initiative. When they show their true colors, we’ll drag them out into the light."
Chen Yiling was very naive, not sensing any risk in this plan at all.
