Chapter 75 Doubts
While Su Yaoguang was booking a feast for Zhou Wangshu, Jiang Jing drove an ox cart to the clothing store to pick up the proprietress, Chun'e. By the time they arrived, the dishes they had ordered were already on the table.

Everyone was happy to receive the balance today, and Su Yaoguang ordered a lot of delicious dishes to celebrate. She had wanted to order some wine, but then she remembered she had to drive the ox cart back to the village later. Furthermore, Zhang Zhaodi felt that the wine in the restaurant was several times more expensive than what was sold outside, so it was really not worth it. She planned to buy some wine from the winery later and drink it at home tonight.

Before parting, Chun'e suddenly said, "By the way, a little beggar came to see you just now and said that he had found what you asked him to find. He is waiting for you in the dilapidated temple."

"Thank you, Sister Chun'e. I understand." Su Yaoguang took out a purse and stuffed it in. "We'll have to trouble you to continue selling the rest of our goods."

"We're all friends, it's just a matter of convenience. To be honest, if those customers come to buy your goods, we can also sell a lot of clothes in our store."

After Chun'e left, Zhang Zhaodi asked, "My dear, who is the little beggar Chun'e was talking about?"

"I asked the little beggar on the street to help me find out something. Mom, you guys go buy things first, I'm going to the dilapidated temple." Su Yaoguang said.

"It's not safe for you to go to a place like a dilapidated temple alone. It's better to let Chunni accompany you." Zhang Pandi said, "Chunni is very strong and can help you at a critical moment."

No matter how strong Jia Chunni is, she is not as strong as Su Yaoguang, but sometimes she needs someone to help, so it’s good to have someone else to accompany her.

The two sisters came to the dilapidated temple, and the little beggar named Feng Chaoyang had been waiting at the door. When he saw her appear, he strode over and said, "Sister, you are here."

"You said you've got the information I want. Tell me about it."

"My sister asked me to wait for the fat uncle at the door. He soon came out with his men, but he didn't leave the city. Instead, he went to a rouge shop."

"That rouge shop is the largest Jinlefang in the city." The little beggar next to him added.

"Cousin, is that Mr. Li a fake?" Jia Chunni, who was standing nearby, understood. "Why would someone from Jinlefang buy our rouge and powder?"

"Is that fat uncle the owner of Jinlefang?" Su Yaoguang asked the little beggar.

"That's not the case. The owner of Jinlefang is a young man." The little beggar said, "The fat uncle is just an errand boy."

Su Yaoguang took out a string of copper coins and handed it to Feng Chaoyang: "Take it and share it with your people!"

"Sister, if you need us to run errands for you in the future, just tell us." Feng Chaoyang happily took the copper coins.

"Yes, I need you to run another trip for me..."

After leaving the ruined temple, Jia Chunni still couldn't figure out why the largest rouge shop would buy from them. Su Yaoguang took her directly to the entrance of Jinlefang.

The two stood in front of the largest rouge shop, watching the customers coming in and out. Seeing their disgusted expressions, they pulled Jia Chunni into a nearby clothing store. Each of them bought a nice dress, changed their shoes and socks, used their changing area to put on some delicate makeup, put on a veil, and stood at the door of the store again.

At this time, Feng Chaoyang arrived breathlessly holding a box.

"Sister, I've got what you want."

Su Yaoguang handed him the sesame cake she had just bought from the stall: "Thank you, I'll thank you again some other day. I have something important to take care of today."

After saying that, he asked Jia Chunni to take the box and took her to the gate of Jinlefang.

Feng Chaoyang watched Su Yaoguang enter the store. Several little beggars ran over and said to Feng Chaoyang, "Boss, what did the kind sister say?"

"She bought us some sesame cakes. Brothers, share them. Also, my sister gave me a hundred coins, and each of us gets five coins," Feng Chaoyang said. The little beggars cheered.

Five cents is just a small amount of money for snacks for ordinary people, but for them it can keep them going for ten days or half a month.

"Dear guests, please come in. We have launched new products and there are discounts for purchases today. Don't miss this great opportunity!" The little boy at the door greeted the guests with a smile.

"Wow..." Jia Chunni exclaimed as she looked at the luxurious decoration and then at the shop packed with people. "With so many customers, how much money can they make?"

"Dear guests, I wonder what you might need. Let me introduce it to you." A female waitress greeted them with a smile.

"I heard that you have new products here, and there happens to be a promotion today. I want to see how the goods are." Su Yaoguang said.

"Of course it's great. Look over there, right over there, it's crowded with people, all customers buying new products." said the female waitress.

"There are so many people here. I don't like queuing. Why don't you give it to me to try first? If I think it's good, I'm fine with paying a higher price."

"OK, just a second."

The female waiter came over holding a large wooden box. When the box was opened, it was filled with a dazzling array of items, from skin care to makeup, everything you could want.

"This is our new product today. The whole set originally cost eighty taels, but now it only costs fifty taels."

Su Yaoguang opened a porcelain bottle, put it to her nose and smelled it. It was a familiar smell.

She opened several porcelain bottles in succession, all of which contained familiar flavors and recipes. However, the bottles were different from hers. Jinlefang's bottles had their logo and were obviously more exquisite.

In fact, she also left a unique mark in her porcelain vase. There is a word "Su" on the inside of the bottom of the vase, and the word "Taoyao" on the surface of the vase.

She even thought of the name of the store she was going to open next, which was called "Taoyaofang".

Jia Chunni pulled Su Yaoguang's sleeve: "Cousin, what's wrong?"

Su Yaoguang suppressed her anger and said loudly, "Oh, this thing is really good, but the price is a bit wrong, isn't it? I bought the same thing from another store, and the whole set only cost 25 taels. Why is it so expensive?"

Jinlefang had invited its regular customers in advance just to promote the business and make a fortune. Therefore, when Su Yaoguang spoke so loudly, everyone looked over.

The female waitress sensed something was wrong and was about to stop Su Yaoguang from talking nonsense, but before she could open her mouth, Jia Chunni stood in front of her and prevented her from getting close to Su Yaoguang.

"You're talking nonsense! How can it be exactly the same and only half the price?"

Su Yaoguang took the box from Jia Chunni's hand and opened it. There were also twenty-five bottles of various sizes, ranging from the scents of several facial creams to the scents of several perfumes. Even the powder, rouge, lipstick, and shampoo were made of the same material and had the same scent.

Everyone was not stupid. From the set box held by Su Yaoguang to the set box held by Jinlefang, although the porcelain bottles inside were different, the materials were exactly the same. It was obviously the same product.

"This Taoyao is a new product from the newly opened shop, Su Ji. It's said to be made according to an ancient recipe. Jin Le Fang must also be making it according to an ancient recipe, which is why it's exactly the same as Taoyao Fang's. But Taoyao is a new shop, and their main goal is to retain customers, so they sell it at cost price. This whole set is only twenty-five taels of silver!"
