Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

It was another early morning. This year, the schedule was full. On the third day of the New Year, Shen Ping brought her own chili sauce and soap, as well as some other New Year goods, and went to the county government with Dachun and Sanchun to visit Captain Zhang.

Dachun and Sanchun both do business in the county town. It's always good to move around and get to know more people.

On the fourth day of the New Year, Mr. Liu came with his third concubine, Liang. The third concubine was wearing a bright red satin dress and had delicate makeup on her face, which made her look even more beautiful and charming.

In addition, Shopkeeper Shi and Dahe Hefu also came here.

They are all business people, and Mr. Liu is also very generous. The New Year gifts he gave to everyone were gold beans.

Not only adults received gifts, but children as well. Each person was given two gold beans. Shen Ping weighed them and found that each gold bean was the size of a soybean.

Even if the middle is not solid, each bean weighs about three or four grams. There are more than ten people in the family, so there are more than 20 gold beans in total.

If you calculate it this way, it would be nearly three or four taels of gold, which would cost dozens of taels of silver!

Shen Ping was shocked and said that the gift was too expensive. She kept pushing it away: "Mr. Liu, your gift is too expensive. You should take it back."

"Oh, Madam Shen, you are too polite!" The third concubine smiled and narrowed her peach blossom eyes: "There is no reason for our master to take back the things he gave away."

In fact, seeing how so many gold beans were given away, she felt a little painful in her heart. She said something casually, but was scolded by Mr. Liu.

He said that she was a woman with long hair and short knowledge, who only cared about the immediate interests, and asked her not to interfere in his affairs.

Liang asked herself about business matters, which she didn't understand, but as long as she had money to spend, it was fine, so she didn't say anything more.

Mr. Liu's eyes widened immediately, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Madam Shen, if you don't accept it, you are looking down on me.

I am a businessman, and I value pleasant cooperation. Besides, I earn a lot from the things I get from you. If it weren't for these things of yours, how could I earn so much money? Just accept them!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu is also a very particular person. He is not stingy with the money he earns and knows how to be grateful. Shen Ping couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Shen Ping was neither humble nor arrogant, she smiled and bowed: "Mr. Liu, you can earn so much money, it's because you have extraordinary courage. I have the goods, you have the money, so we can cooperate. In this case, thank you Mr. Liu!"

Shen Ping also understood that Mr. Liu had earned a lot of money from his goods, so of course he was willing to give them away.

He was afraid that if he was not given the goods, his source of income would be cut off, so he gave his family a look and only then did they dare to accept the goods.

Manager Shi and Dahe looked at each other, and suddenly felt that the things in their hands were not worthy of being presented. Mr. Liu was so rich and powerful that they could not compare with him.

They also prepared red envelopes, but there was only a few dozen coins per person in them.

Shen Ping looked at them and knew that it was Mr. Liu who put pressure on them. She did not favor one over the other and greeted Manager Shi and the others with equal enthusiasm.

Shopkeeper Shi and his companions took the famous Hu tea, their own native chickens and eggs, as well as a few pieces of silk cloth and things made by his wife.

When Shen Ping saw the cloth, her eyes lit up immediately. She touched it carefully and found that this cloth was different from others. It was delicate and smooth, soft to the touch, and looked high-end and had a high quality.

Shen Ping was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Mr. Liu spoke first: "Mr. Liu's fat face twitched, and his eyes widened: "Madam Shen, this is a good thing, it is obviously silk at first glance."

Shopkeeper Shi gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Liu has a good eye! Yes, this is indeed silk."

"Shopkeeper Shi, your gift is too valuable. It must be very expensive!" Shen Ping couldn't let go of the cloth as she touched it.

Shopkeeper Shi smiled, and his dark face looked a little embarrassed: "Yes, this thing is expensive, but I didn't spend a penny on it.

A friend of mine raised a lot of silkworms and wove a lot of silk cloth, but now the cloth is not selling well and he can’t find buyers, so the cloth is all piled up in his hands.

He still owes a lot of money to his workers, and he has a hard time this year. Now he comes to me for help. I thought, Madam Shen, you opened a clothing shop! I want to take a look and ask for him.

This is a gift for you, and it can be considered a sample. If it works, please give me a definite answer. If it doesn’t, then we can still be friends.”

Shen Ping understood immediately after hearing what he said. It turned out that he was acting as a middleman, trying to connect with his friend, which was also a favor to his friend.

The cloth looked quite good, so Shen Ping called Erya over and asked her to look at the cloth carefully.

Unexpectedly, Erya couldn't hide her joy after seeing it. She wanted to make a batch of high-end underwear and send it to Beijing to open up the high-end market, but she was worried that she couldn't find good fabrics.

Soft and comfortable fabrics tend to wrinkle easily, while wrinkle-free fabrics are not comfortable enough.

But now, silk has solved this problem very well. It is soft to the touch and does not wrinkle easily.

"Second Shopkeeper, I think it's okay!" Mr. Liu nodded and said, "There are many wealthy people in the capital, and they value quality rather than price. I think this thing can be used to make some specific styles.

"That's right!" Liu Yuanwai's words were also echoed by Erya.

"It's just~"

Erya changed the subject and frowned: "This silk cloth is not cheap, and the cost of making clothes from it is even higher."

Mr. Liu knew what Erya was worried about. She must be worried about sales. He patted his chest and said, "Second Shopkeeper, you just need to design and produce. As for sales, you don't have to worry. I'll take as many as you have."

With Mr. Liu's words, Erya felt more at ease.

Originally, Manager Shi didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect that what he said casually would actually lead to a positive result. This is a sign of things to come.

To be honest, he didn't do this entirely out of kindness, because the other party gave him a commission. If he succeeded, they promised to give him 200 coins per horse.

Shen Ping asked Erya and Manager Shi to talk about the following things.

Miharu greeted Taiga and the others, and carefully talked about soap and skin care products.

Shen Ping started chatting with the third concubine. She had recently developed a new product and made a facial mask. She gave a few pieces to the third concubine to test. She also told him how to use it and what to pay attention to.

The third concubine had never tried these things before, and she was surprised at the time. There was actually such a thing that could whiten the skin when applied on the face.

Mr. Liu saw a new business opportunity and claimed that this was a good thing.

"Mr. Liu, you will know whether it is effective or not after a while. You can make a decision then as to how much you need to order." Shen Ping was very confident about this.

They were all businessmen, and it was not just a simple visit to relatives and friends; everyone brought a few horse-drawn carriages.

Thinking of taking this opportunity to bring some goods back, he made another big deal in just this one trip.

It was initially decided that each piece of silk cloth would cost 5 taels of silver, and 50 pieces of cloth would be used for trial operation first.

In addition, they took this opportunity to settle their bills from the previous year, placed new orders, and brought back some goods.

Before leaving, Shen Ping avoided Erya and secretly asked Mr. Liu what big news there was in the capital.

Mr. Liu suddenly remembered something and said that things might be changing in the imperial palace in the capital recently. The emperor was seriously ill and several princes were at loggerheads. The common people didn't know the specific situation.

After hearing what he said, Shen Ping knew that Shen Yang would definitely not be able to come back during this period of time, but no matter what, she hoped that he would be safe.

I hope he won’t go back on his word, and will get things done, and then come back to marry Arya.
