Chapter 1187: Chapter 1193: Young Master Save Me (2)

"Yes, yes, yes, Empress Dowager... Ah no, Miss Mu, Miss Mu is absolutely correct, this humble one will remember," said Manager Wen, repeatedly nodding in agreement. Initially distressed about his shop being vandalized, his mood brightened considerably upon learning that the girl with whom he was in collaboration was the current Empress Dowager.

With Mi Fangzhai now connected to the Empress Dowager, how could it not attract wealth from all directions? Setting other considerations aside, just securing the supply of rouge powder to the palace alone would be enough for Mi Fangzhai to make a huge profit. Additionally, once the palace’s demand for rouge powder was supplied by him, Mi Fangzhai’s reputation would surely reach new heights. Eventually, business at Mi Fangzhai was certain to prosper even more, a thought that made his heart blossom with joy.

Cai Wei said, "Today’s losses at Mi Fangzhai will definitely be compensated at market price by the Huo Family and Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, you just wait for them to bring the silver."

Manager Wen laughed and said, "With you here, this humble one, ah no, what worries could I possibly have, hehe... hehehe..."

...

After leaving Mi Fangzhai, Cai Wei went to check her own shop, reviewed the accounts of income and expenditure for this period, and collected the silver earned from the shop. Among them, the income from the ginseng shop was the highest, with revenues reaching tens of thousands of taels.

She still had plenty of ginseng in her space, enough to last her ginseng shop for several years. After digging up some ginseng each time, she would have Bai Mei replant some to prevent future deficits.

In addition, Zhenbao Pavilion and Agriculture Cloth Village also earned significant income.

Since discovering that the shells in Lingxi River concealed large, lustrous pearls, Zhenbao Pavilion offered a particularly wide variety of pearls. Common white pearls, pink pearls, and rare gold and black pearls were all available, and were priced 10% cheaper than those at Masterpiece Building, attracting a large group of beauty-loving female customers in a short time.

Furthermore, due to the unique properties of Lingxi River, the jade and emeralds at Zhenbao Pavilion were much cheaper than other jade shops, yet with superior quality and exquisite craftsmanship, it indeed made a large amount of silver.

The textile business was booming entirely due to Cai Wei’s impulsive gesture. Last time, while narrating fairy tales to Wen’er and Wu’er to make the stories more captivating, she drew many cartoon characters. Loving these drawings, she turned them into patterns and made clothes for Wen’er, Wu’er, and the child in her womb, which became very popular. Fei’er, being business-minded, seized the opportunity to introduce fabric with anime patterns in the shop, sales therewith exceptionally boomed.

Young women throughout the Capital were proud to obtain little garments with anime patterns for their children; children from wealthy families each owned several outfits with cartoon versions.

Those fabric prints with anime patterns sold tremendously, often exceeding supply; the shopkeeper, thinking these unique goods were precious, continued to raise the price. Normally sold for forty taels per roll, pearl silk fabric with Q-version patterns had been lifted to sixty taels per roll by him.

When Cai Wei was checking the accounts, she casually mentioned while fiddling with her abacus, "These Q-version fabrics should just be sold for fifty taels per roll, selling them too expensively might make people scold us as dishonest merchants!"

"Uh, right..." The shopkeeper sheepishly agreed, his face flushing; it was then he realized that his boss was someone with principles. Though price gouging might be profitable, she would never engage in such activities.

Seeing her sister, Fei’er was overjoyed and whispered, "Older sister, are you going home later? If you are, I’ll tell my master and head home early too, dad and mom often miss you, and Wen’er and Wu’er, those two boys, really miss their older sister too!"
