Chapter 233: Chapter 234: Before Opening The Store -Part 2 (Fourth Update)_1

Nan Feng chuckled, "That’s a bit exaggerated, isn’t it? There are other people in the county office who can give orders too. Besides, the county official too has a home, a wife, children, and a personal life. How could he always ask Ye-Ge to accompany him? Sparing just half a day to meet him should be fine."

Aqiu was still nervous, "But, since Ye-Ge has become such a high-ranking official, him coming to meet us could seem... Ah, I can’t quite articulate it, it just seems off somehow."

"What’s so off about that? Not to mention Ye-Ge isn’t a high-ranking official in the city, even if he was, he is still from the same village, our kin. Just think of him as an older brother," said Nan Feng, pinching Aqiu’s face as she finished.

With that, Aqiu finally seemed to relax a bit, "Alright then, I will inform Pang Ya and the others tomorrow."

"Yes, the more the merrier. We should not be less than ten."

That night, Nan Feng hurried back to the county town, taking with her many vegetables gifted by the villagers, enough to last half a month, it seemed.

...

In the compound.

By the time Nan Feng arrived home, it had already turned dark.

"Dad, why wouldn’t you light the lamp?" Nan Feng questioned as she looked around the dimly lit house.

"The oil is expensive. Save it where we can, especially since there’s hardly anything to do."

As Nan Feng lit the lamp, she apologized to Nan Quanyou, "Dad, I’m sorry for coming back so late today. Did it make you go hungry?"

Nan Quanyou was sitting on the bed. His leg was not hurting anymore. He was able to walk a few steps leaning on his cane. Sometimes, he would go to the yard for a while, supporting himself with the crutch.

Nan Quanyou looked at the leftover taro and Bone Porridge by his bed, "You left me so much food early in the morning, there’s no way I could be hungry. I’m even full now."

"I’ll go and cook for you now."

"Don’t, " Nan Quanyou stopped Nan Feng, "I had just been to the oven, there is still half a pot of porridge. You can eat that, no need to fuss around. You seemed tired today. Besides, I have been either sitting or lying down all day, I don’t feel hunger that much."

"Alright, I’ll go and heat the porridge then. I’ll bring you a bowl later."

Inside the house, Nan Quanyou let out a small sigh.

Ever since his daughter recovered from the fever, she had been resilient. Be it hunting or digging at the reservoir, she did any man’s work, even accomplished tasks that a man couldn’t. Now she’s even contemplating opening a store, something he, as a farmer, wouldn’t dare dream of in this lifetime.

It wasn’t as if he didn’t care, but Nan Quanyou believed he ought to respect Nan Feng’s choices, to allow her to live the life she wants.

...

Spikenard Square.

The red cloth-covered sign was hung up that same day, and a new painting appeared at the entrance of the store. The painting portrayed a girl with a full face of pimples that gradually turned into smooth skin. It read "Before Using" and "After Using".

The image seemed as intriguing as a modern beauty advertisement that underwent Photoshop, which lured all passing women, their curiosity intensifying.

Inside the store, the sound of renovations could be heard. Nan Feng was refurbishing her shop as per own vision.

The interior needed to be exquisite and elegant, unique and imposing, yet appealing to young women’s tastes. Also, Nan Feng’s skincare products won’t be sold cheap, ’Whitening Magic Face Masks’ cost seventy Wen per box and ’Dual-Melon Facial Cleanser’ costs fifty Wen. Only young ladies of affluent families could afford them.

Nan Feng had defined her skincare products from the start. Her goal was to turn Xiangkou into a big brand. Big brands naturally charge high prices, no arguing there. She was headed towards the mid to high-end market.
