C30 Smuggling

This wooden jar was specially crafted by Xiao Yiming. The lid was engraved with exquisite patterns and the delicate packaging attracted Boss Qiu's attention. When he opened the lid, a delicate fragrance rushed over.

"Miss, what's so special about this thing?" Boss Qiu asked.

"Boss, this thing's name is whitening mud, I personally made it. Look at my skin color, it was originally dark and yellow, but after using this skin color, it became a lot whiter and more tender.

Boss Qiu had long noticed Luo Mannmann's soft and tender skin and her intelligent eyes. What did she mean by using this thing to make her look beautiful? It was more or less fake, just like how he often hired beautiful girls to attract business.

"The whitening mud recipe sounds fresh, go on …" Boss Qiu's hand, which carried the thumb ring, knocked on the mahogany carved table. He seemed to be listening attentively, but at the same time, he also seemed to be paying attention.

"Senior is a knowledgeable person, I want to cooperate with you?" As Luo Mannmann spoke, she raised her thumb.

"How?" Boss Qiu chuckled twice with a profound meaning to his smile.

"I'll give you the formula, four to six percent." Luo Mannmann, on the other hand, was calm and composed. She was very confident that her whitening mud would be recognized by the market.

Boss Qiu laughed. "You're pretty smart." He took a sip of tea and placed it on the table, not making a sound for a long time. The manager of the house was all staring at him, not knowing what he meant.

Luo Mannmann smiled and said, "I don't dare to be conceited in front of Senior."

"Alright, stop flattering me. Little girl, looking at your young age, you actually dare to come out and try to trick me. Originally, this old man had a good impression of your actions, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

To tell you the truth, this old man has been doing this for a whole thirty years.

Luo Mannmann's heart chilled. She didn't expect that the other party would dislike her so much, demeaning her to the point where she couldn't think of anything good. Since her thoughts were stuck in the ancient times, she didn't have the time to waste time with him.

However, she maintained a calm expression and proudly said, "I hope you won't regret it."

"Little girl, you talk quite a bit. This old man has been in business for so many years, yet I have never done anything that I regret?" Boss Qiu stared at Luo Mannmann. His eyes flashed with a sense of scrutiny, as if he could see through her.

As expected, the older the better. Luo Mannmann's persuasion was indeed difficult.

"Then this junior shall take his leave."

"Take care." Boss Qiu stroked his beard again, and a smile of unknown meaning reappeared on his face.

Luo Mannmann was not annoyed. If they could succeed so easily, then everyone would be rich.

She turned around and walked towards the market, continuing to look for a partner, not meeting up with Xiao Yiming directly.

The endless stream of people, the noisy street...

"Manager, I don't care what methods you use. If this month's sales don't meet my requirements, then you will just leave."

"Young Master Qian, this little one will try my best." The shopkeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead and said submissively.

Young Master Qian's tone was stern, "I don't want to hear these pleasantries. I want to carry this bowl of rice and talk about the actual data."

Luo Mannmann thought to herself, which family's young master is so swift and decisive? Just by hearing these words, one could tell that he was a shrewd businessman.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person wearing a light blue robe with a fan in his hand. His features were handsome and clear, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes that were full of astuteness.

Afraid that she would be recognized, Luo Mannmann lowered her head and brushed past him. She also didn't want to get too close to him.

A breeze blew past Qian Jingui's ears. He turned around and saw Luo Mannmann's graceful figure leaving in a hurry.

"Whose lady is this? Why does she look so familiar?" Qian Jingui muttered as he waved his fan.

"Young master, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing. Do you remember what I just said?"

When Luo Mannmann returned, she saw Xiao Yiming waiting at the same place from a distance. The sunlight made his face turn slightly red, but when he saw Luo Mannmann, he showed a happy expression and walked towards her.

"Mannmann, where did you go? That long?"

"I was just strolling around. Your things are all sold out. Truly amazing." Luo Mannmann raised her thumb in praise.

Xiao Yiming was happy, so he gave her the snack he just bought: "Look, this is a candy for you, a osmanthus cake. Let's go buy whatever my wife likes."

"Hur hur, what a rich feeling." Luo Mannmann took a bite of the candied fruit. It tasted good, sour, sweet and sweet.

After Wang Ergou got off the oxcart, he excitedly walked all the way to Baihua House.

On market day, the streets were crowded with people, but the Baihua House was quiet.

The gatekeeping servant was the same as the one from two days ago. Seeing Wang Ergou nod and bow, he said politely, "Esteemed customer, you're here again."

Wang Ergou threw a bit of silver back to him and said with a swagger, "Same old rules, you know."

"Good, good, good. Customer, this servant will bring you up."

Bang bang bang. The servant knocked on Yanniang's door. The wooden door was opened from the inside by someone, revealing a face of tofu in its thirties.

Yanniang pouted and yawned, saying impatiently, "Dear guest, why is it you again? Why is it always daytime? "Is it that interesting?"

Wang Ergou noticed Yanniang's expression. He quickly took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and said with a grin, "Come to Mammy Yan. It's a small gesture."

Ergouzi rolled his eyes as he planned his lines.

When Mammy Yan saw the silver, she immediately lost all sleepiness. She habitually bit her lips and shook her embroidered handkerchief. She put on a coquettish smile. "Which girl would you like to order this time?"

He couldn't tell that this village elder was actually quite willing to spend money. After entertaining him properly, he might become a loyal customer of her family in the future.

Wang Ergou had already prepared an excuse long ago: "mammy, I'll just say it directly. I didn't come to get some girls, I came to buy girls!"

"Buy a girl? "Hehe, well said. Do you know the price of my land?"

"About that, we want to buy Hei Ya. I wonder if mammy will be able to see my sincerity. Can you give me a real price?" Wang Ergou's swarthy face was filled with seriousness. He truly wanted to get married. It was rare for him to have a good chance, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Oh, you mean Hei Ya?" Yanniang first rolled her eyes, then slapped her thigh and came to a realization.

Speaking of which, Hei Ya hadn't picked up any orders for two days and was extremely despised by others. Guests all thought that she was dark and rustic, and it was rare for anyone to have feelings for her.

"mammy has a good memory. It's Hei Ya." Wang Ergou's eyes lit up and he grinned.

"Oh, Hei Ya, it's alright. It's not much. I can bring her home in fifty taels." Mammy Yan waved her embroidery handkerchief with a look of "I'm very lucky".

"Fifty silver taels?" Wang Ergou gritted his teeth and muttered in his heart, "Do you dare to ask for a higher price? His entire inventory is only about 20 taels of silver now."

"About that, mammy, just sell Hei Ya to me at a cheaper price." Wang Ergou pulled on Yanniang's sleeve. He was acting as attendant, moving chairs and pouring tea for Yanniang.

"Alright, alright, mammy, I'm not going to do this. I only see that you're selling it for 50 taels of silver. You can't even lose a single copper coin. If you have money, come and get it."

Wang Ergou had already expected this result and took out the three jars of Tomato paste that were hidden in his sleeves: "Good, good, mammy is really straightforward. I, Ergouzi, sincerely want to buy Hei Ya as my daughter-in-law. When I return to borrow money, I will come over.

Yanniang looked at the few delicate wooden jars in his hands and was immediately curious. She took them and opened the lid. After she opened it, a delicate fragrance wafted over her. "Is this food?"

"Hehe, it's for the face, but it's for the food. mammy's is called whitening mud, every night after applying it to her face for fifteen minutes and washing it clean, the face will become tender and smooth!"

Hearing Yanniangxin's words, Yanniangxin was excited. She was used to Rouge Water Powder, so she had never used this rare thing before. "Is this thing really that magical?"

"mammy, how could I dare lie to you? Who doesn't know that you are a veteran at Stone Dragon Town, smart, beautiful and astute. I, Ergouzi, also want to buy Hei Ya's, how could I lie to you? "You've used it well. If you're happy, you might give Hei Ya to me."

"Hehe, you really know how to talk. Alright, alright, alright, I'll accept it. It's rare for you to have this kind of intention."

Wang Ergou was afraid that he did not have enough firepower, so he continued to use his mouth to blow water. "mammy, to tell you the truth, there is a girl in our village who is extremely dark and ugly. "If mammy uses them effectively and sends a copy to all the girls, wouldn't she be able to make a fortune in the future?"

"Hehe, you are a real person. Alright, since you've spent so much water, I'll give you less silver. Hurry back and raise some money."

After a few days

Nanshan Village

"Xiao Yiming, get out here right now." Early in the morning, as Xiao Family was eating breakfast, he heard a sharp voice coming from outside the door.

"Wife, I'll go take a look." Xiao Yiming recognized the voice and instantly stiffened as he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Aunt Xiao picked up a mouthful of pickled vegetables and said with a tasteless appetite, "I reckon that the day is today, and the Qiu Family must be coming for some sort of debt."

Aunt Xiao sighed and followed him out. Luo Mannmann was naturally not in the mood to eat. When she opened the door to take a look, she saw Auntie Qiu aggressively standing on a rock in the yard with her hands on her hips.

"Hoh, I can bear it all." Auntie Qiu had a loud voice as well. With this shout, the neighbors on the left and right were successfully drawn out.

Some villagers were afraid that they would miss the liveliness, so they carried their porridge out and ate while watching.

"Auntie Qiu, isn't it a little early in the morning?" Xiao Yiming's dark face gave off a huge pressure.

Auntie Qiu shot a glance and her voice became weaker, her momentum not diminishing at all. "I came here today to ask for money, to repay the debt, it's only right and proper. I'm not scared of growing up. "

Luo Mannmann's gaze was cold. Without saying anything further, she returned to the inner room and carried the large jar filled with copper coins out from under the bed. "The money is inside. Count it all by yourself."
