Chapter 381: Chapter 382: Courtesan Contest (2)_1

Nan Feng held back her annoyance: "How many do you want to order?"

"A hundred boxes, do you have those?" Lady Liu asked, "The Courtesan competition in our county will start tomorrow. All the ladies are busy rehearsing now. With such stress, their skin tends to get worse. That’s why we need to get some skincare products from your shop for maintenance."

As Nan Feng heard this, she suddenly developed an interest, "What are they rehearsing for?"

"Oh, they are rehearsing their skills in playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dancing. Only those with proficiency in all the skills can participate in the Courtesan competition," explained Lady Liu.

"Then you guys can pick a few outstanding ones for the competition, right? With more than a hundred candidates, wouldn’t it be too much like an open audition?" Nan Feng asked humorously.

"Of course we’re going to choose a few outstanding ones for the competition, but then those outstanding candidates would be busy rehearsing, so they can’t entertain guests. Our Shopkeeper then came up with an idea: any guest who chooses an outstanding courtesan can enjoy the services of three ordinary courtesans for the same price – a three-for-one offer. So everyone is busy and I was sent out for shopping," She explained.

Three for one?

Nan Feng stifled a laugh, but also mentioned the reality: "I’m afraid I can’t provide such a large amount all at once. I only have two hundred boxes left myself. I have to leave some for the shop, and the other branches also need to sell. Besides, your competition starts tomorrow, there’s not enough time to use the facial mask now, right?"

"We can always use them post-competition, isn’t it? Your mask both nourishes and repairs skin right? It works just as well post-competition. Can you provide them to us by tomorrow?"

Nan Feng did a quick calculation, "Yes, they can be ready by tomorrow."

"But we will be at Central Street for the courtesan competition tomorrow and won’t be in the shop. Can you deliver them to Central Street for me? And I can also pay you then."

"Won’t it be hard to find each other in such a crowd?" Nan Feng asked.

"We have a backstage. You can just go to the venue ’Blooming Splendor’."

Nan Feng though for a bit: "You need to give me some deposit first. So I can deliver the goods. Otherwise, if I deliver them and you guys end up not needing them, won’t that be a waste of my time?"

"The deposit? We have it. We indeed have it." Lady Liu took out a silver ingot and smiled sheepishly: "I almost forgot about the deposit. Our boss told me beforehand - without a deposit, you won’t deliver."

"Your boss, is she the boss of ’Blooming Splendor’, or the undisclosed boss behind it? Male or female?" Nan Feng asked.

If it’s the latter, it ought to be the gang leader.

However, the gang leader has been sickly and busy with other matters recently and probably doesn’t have time to focus on this.

"Of course, it’s the boss of ’Blooming Splendor’, a woman. People call her the ’floriculturist’ because all the ladies in our courtyard are delicate flowers that require careful cultivation," Lady Liu replied with a chuckle.

It seemed like Lady Liu was about to leave, but to Nan Feng’s surprise, she didn’t. So, Nan Feng asked her, "Is there anything else?"

Lady Liu looked shrewd as she asked: "Don’t you think you should give me an extra bottle since I bought a hundred all at once?"

Nan Feng took the jar on the table, shoved it into Lady Liu’s hands, and guided her out the door: "I don’t have any extra facial masks to spare, but here’s a jug for you. Take it home and drink water."

Lady Liu examined the jug: "It’s pretty delicate, I’ll take it."

Of course, it was a treasured item from Xue Ling’s shop.

Thinking of Xue Ling, who had returned from the Bashen Sect, Nan Feng wondered how she was doing now and decided to go check in at Xue Ling’s place.
