Chapter 272: Chapter 273 Troublemaking (1)_1

To keep up with production, raw materials must also keep up. The facial cleanser was fine, as it uses cucumbers and winter melons -- long-term contracts with vegetable farmers would suffice. She could also head back to Daping Village to teach Uncle Lan, Aunt Lan, and Auntie Sima how to grow these crops. Even growing out of season was not a problem; Nan Feng could teach them how to grow in greenhouses, as long as the climate was right.

But the ingredients for the face masks had to come from medicinal herbs.

After pondering it for half the night, she suddenly came up with an idea.

The materials that Aqiu and the others had dug up could be sold first to the Medical Hall shopkeeper in Clearwater Town. Of course, the Cleanwater Town shopkeeper had their sources as well. He could send a batch over each month, so Nan Feng wouldn’t have to go to the countryside to purchase raw materials anymore.

Moreover, she had also negotiated with another large Medical Hall in the county. Although the unit price offered by this Medical Hall was higher than that of Clearwater Town’s, it was closer and Nan Feng could hire a car to directly pick up the goods.

She also considered posting a notice at the shop front, directly purchasing raw materials, but in this way, the ingredients of her products could be known by others. What if they also developed the same product?

So Nan Feng resorted to some small tricks: Purchase materials from several shops, have different suppliers deliver different major raw materials, and she herself would acquire the key ingredients.

Moreover, the effects varied according to the quantities of ingredients used and the sequence in which they were used. This wasn’t so easily replicated.

A month after implementing this plan, Nan Feng surprisingly found it very effective, and her own stress level decreased significantly.

...

But just as the issue with the raw material was solved, something went wrong with Spikenard Square.

That morning, when Nan Feng arrived at Spikenard Square, where usually many people were already lining up, though there were more people than usual, no one was in line. A crowd was gathered around several crying and yelling women, discussing fervently.

Nan Feng was trying to figure out what was going on when someone shouted, "The shopkeeper is back, it’s her!"

Suddenly, everyone was looking at Nan Feng.

Feng Gu ran out of the crowd and stood anxiously in front of Nan Feng: "Sister Nan Feng, those women came early this morning. They claimed that they were poisoned after using our facial cleanser and face masks. They broke out in rashes on their faces, big red patches, and now they are demanding compensation. What are we going to do?"

Poisoned?

An immediate word flashed through Nan Feng’s mind: Allergic reaction.

But that didn’t seem right. The facial cleanser and face masks she made were all composed of Chinese medicine ingredients, with no chemical components at all. How could they possibly cause an allergic reaction? Besides, Honghong was allergic to everything. The time Honghong used the blush from the village elder’s wife during the singing competition, her entire face broke out the next day. However, no adverse effects occurred when she used Nan Feng’s products.

Before Nan Feng could even walk over, several women ran up to her, outright accusing Nan Feng, "This is a black-hearted store! What kind of ghastly skincare products are you selling? After applying your products, our faces are all poisoned. Black-hearted shop owner, give me back my money, no, not just money, you have to compensate for our losses too."

The others echoed, "That’s right, compensate for our losses, reimburse us, reimburse us!"

In a blink of an eye, several furious women had Nan Feng and Feng Gu surrounded, leaving them no room to escape.

Those furious women turned to the spectators and warned, "You’re still thinking of buying her products? Our faces are all like this, do you want to end up like us?"

As these women shouted, the onlookers gave up their thoughts of buying anything for the moment. They came over to watch the commotion, curious as to how a young girl like Nan Feng would handle this kind of situation.

Moreover, if the products were indeed poisonous, they would definitely not buy them anymore.
