Chapter 500: Chapter 502 - I will definitely be careful_1

"After that, Nan Feng asked Ye Ge, "Why does the provincial city support us merchants so much currently when usually agriculture is prioritised over commerce? Is our Fuxing county more supportive, or is it a national trend?"

"The entire nation is supportive, but Fuxing county is even more so," Ye Ge paused before saying to Nan Feng, "The nationwide support is due to the war in the north, while the support of Fuxing County is because... a high-ranking official will be transferred here in a bit. I’ll explain more about this when the time comes."

"A high-ranking official?" Nan Feng asked, "It should be someone from Capital City, right?"

"Correct, a high-ranking civil servant from the capital. He’s coming under the pretense of retiring and returning to his hometown, although he might be short on cash. However, it won’t affect you merchants, you just need to focus on making money," Ye Ge tightened his grip on his chopsticks.

Nan Feng didn’t notice Ye Ge’s hand. There was something different about the look in Ye Ge’s eyes and the tone of his voice, but he quickly corrected himself then said to Nan Feng, "Right, Dragon Three sent someone to me about something."

"About the incident on the river? A batch of my goods were almost intercepted."

"Yes," Ye Ge put down his chopsticks and took out a kerchief to wipe Nan Feng’s mouth, "Dragon Three’s side has figured it out. Zhi Mei Tang intercepted your goods. Zhi Mei Tang is the big boss of the rouge dealers in the provincial city. I suspect they might join forces with Wan Fengzhen to suppress you later on. You need to be prepared and on guard at all times."

Zhi Mei Tang really did collaborate with Wan Fengzhen.

"Okay, I will definitely be cautious!"

...

The next morning, Ye Ge had already left by the time Nan Feng woke up.

She rolled over and hugged the spot where Ye Ge had been sleeping, it seemed to still carry his scent. But she only lied there for a short while before getting up, as it was very busy in the shop.

Probably because Ye Ge had visited, Nan Feng was in good spirits the whole day while working and sales were particularly high that day.

Until the evening.

After closing the shop, Nan Feng went to a restaurant to eat. After a busy day, she was too exhausted to cook for herself.

When she reached the corner of the street, Nan Feng saw the signboard of Zhi Mei Tang. Most of the shops were closed at this time, but Zhi Mei Tang wasn’t.

There were several individuals inside Zhi Mei Tang dressed alike who were probably in charge of sales.

Thinking of the goods that were almost snatched on the river, Nan Feng subconsciously walked in.

"Lady, what can I help you with?" asked the sales associate inside.

Nan Feng looked around.

Chen San of the Business Association had mentioned before that Zhi Mei Tang’s products were very expensive, akin to modern day Chanel, even a box of lipstick could be sold for two taels of silver.

Zhi Mei Tang has a remarkable reputation in the province for being high-end. The ladies in the provincial city all take pride in owning a product from Zhi Mei Tang. Some of them even scrimp and save, to the extent of minimal eating and drinking, just to own a product from Zhi Mei Tang. Thus, when they get a chance to gather, they can show off their acquisitions.

Nan Feng looked around and asked the price of each item, but in the end, she only bought a box of lipstick.

Because the items were so expensive, there weren’t many customers in the shop. It was eerily quiet, but since the products were very high-priced, they weren’t worried about not being able to sustain the shop and its people.

Just like a modern luxury brand store, not many people visit, but the owner still makes a profit.

After buying the lipstick, Nan Feng opened the box and applied some in front of the shop’s bronze mirror.
