Chapter 429 The poor is the emperor

Su Qin felt relieved, and then started the normal procedure. After applying moisturizing cream on her, she asked: "Did the princess use new cosmetics or the shared one?"

"Of course I use new ones," the princess said without hesitation.

Su Qin gave Shuiling a wink.

Shui Ling immediately went to the back room and brought out three makeup boxes, "Mom, these three are unique."

The princess raised her head slightly and glanced at it. One of the boxes had gold threads flowing around it. It was actually made of golden nanmu and was inlaid with colorful gems. It looked precious at first glance.

Shui Ling opened the box and revealed the mirror on the lid. Although they were all clear crystal mirrors, the golden box was the largest, almost occupying the entire lid.

The little emperor's face turned a little green, and he had already sensed a bad premonition.

Shui Ling smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you think this one looks good? Is it worthy of the princess?"

"And the cosmetics in this box range from rouge, lip balm to daily maintenance. There will never be such a set again in the future. After all, golden nanmu is not easy to find."

Xiao Huang pursed his lips, and then said with a natural expression: "Such a good thing should naturally be left to the eldest princess. The princess should choose something else."

When the princess heard this, she was very upset. Although her own title was not as good as hers, there was no one in the circle of noble ladies who would not give her face, and her status was not inferior to that of the eldest princess.

She felt unwilling to admit defeat and asked, "I, the princess, will buy it myself. How much money will it cost?"

Shui Ling smiled and said: "This golden nanmu and gems are worth ten thousand taels. Since the princess is the first distinguished guest, I will give you a 12% discount. You can give me eight thousand eight hundred taels."

The princess was a little worried about the money. Eight thousand eight hundred taels of silver was enough to buy rouge and gouache for a year.

But how could she lose face in front of Su Qin? She gritted her teeth and said, "No problem, I will send someone to deliver the money later."

"Thank you for your patronage. Please don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, what will you do if you ask us for a 22% discount?" Shui Ling said with a smile.

The princess felt much better and agreed, "Don't worry."

Su Qin gave Shuiling a look of approval before sitting down and starting to put on makeup.

After finishing the painting, the princess stood up and looked in the mirror for a long time. She is thirty-five years old and usually wears heavy makeup. Today she discovered that she looks more elegant with light makeup.

She was very satisfied and nodded: "Very good."

After saying that, he walked out, forgetting that he was looking for trouble. He just wanted to go back and let everyone see his makeup.

Shui Ling gave the box to grandma, "You have it."

Grandma was very happy and said with a smile: "Okay."

When the emperor saw Shui Ling's eyes full of contempt, he snorted and left.

Shui Ling said: "Your Majesty, you promised to nominate me personally."

The emperor retracted his stepped foot, his eyes flashed, "Bring me a pen and ink."

Shuiling took out paper, pen and ink and spread them on the big table.

The little emperor asked: "Is this just for beauty treatments?"

"There are also medicated meals." Shui Ling replied.

What she meant was to write two plaques, one to hang in the beauty area and one in the medicinal food area.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor wrote with a big stroke of his pen and left. Shui Ling shouted twice, but he pretended not to hear.

Shui Ling was dumbfounded, "I have never seen an emperor running away in such a desperate situation."

Su Qin put his hand on his cheek and said quietly: "Can he not run away?"

"Huh?" Shui Ling walked over and looked at the words on the paper...

“Smelly Pavilion.”

Shui Ling's mouth twitched.

Su Qin said: "Why is this hanging? Is it possible that our name can only be called this?"

Shui Ling touched his chin and said: "Brother Yu, go and ask the emperor to stamp it. If he dares to stamp it, we dare to hang it."

"Ah..." Su Qin was speechless. He couldn't even use the beautiful name he thought of.

Gong Qianyu rolled up the words and put them away, "I'll go in the evening, and now I need to buy someone first."

"Yeah." Shui Ling nodded.

They waited for two-quarters of an hour, and someone brought 8,800 taels of silver notes. They were official bank notes and could be used to buy people.

Su Qin looked at Shui Ling, "The makeup box is priced at eight hundred and eighty taels. How dare you sell it so expensive?"

Shui Ling's lips curled up, "This golden nanmu is inherently bluffing. There are many colors of gems on it, and it looks very luxurious. And they don't know our cost. How much it will sell for is not up to us."

"What should we do with these two boxes? The initial price was 188,588,888. If we sell them cheaply now, she will come back." Su Qin looked at the remaining two boxes in a daze.

Shui Ling looked around, placed the two boxes on a horizontal flower stand, put three price tags on them, and then placed a sold out sign in the place of the 8800 price tag.

"That's it, let it be displayed as a sample. If someone buys it, sell it at this price. If no one buys it, use it as a sample."

Su Qin touched his chin and said, "Okay, the price is here anyway, whether you like it or not."

Gong Qianyu smiled and said: "Maybe you think the cost is not high, but you forgot one thing."

"Huh?" Mother and daughter both looked at him.

Gong Qianyu said: "Jade palm is also called Qianjinye. You can buy one leaf for one thousand taels of gold."

"Ah..." The mother and daughter were dumbfounded. Was this a loss or a gain?

Jade palms can be eaten to moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation, and to beautify the skin, so Arnold and others use them to eat them.

A planted leaf weighs ten kilograms, and ten thousand taels of silver buy five kilograms of it. One gram is worth two taels of silver, and five grams for a face treatment is worth ten taels of silver...

Shui Ling pulled Gong Qianyu to the product catalog and asked: "Look at these ingredients, how much can I make by pricing them?"

"How many times has the price increased?" Gong Qianyu asked.

Shui Ling thought for a moment, "A hundred times?"

Gong Qianyu nodded and wrote the price below the product. It turned out that the cheapest moisturizer cost ten taels of silver.

"Wow...it's so expensive. Can we sell it? Is Yan Country very poor now?" Shui Ling asked.

Gong Qianyu laughed: "The emperor is the poor one, not the ministers below. Even if you sell it at this price."

"Okay." Shui Ling nodded. His stuff was good, so it was worth the price.

Shui Ling asked again: "Will no one sue the emperor and say that we set high prices and make a lot of money?"

Gong Qianyu laughed, "Rouge and gouache shops all charge 10% of their profits as tax. If you sell more, you will pay more taxes. Will the emperor refuse the money?"

"That's right." Shui Ling felt relieved, "Let's go buy someone."

Shui Ling put away the price list and the like, and the three of them went out and locked the door to the dental store.

The largest tooth shop in the capital is called Si Hai Lai Ke, which sounds like the name of an inn. When you enter the door, you will see men on the left and women on the right, with quite a few teeth and women standing there.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, they all looked at them with anticipation in their eyes.
