Chapter 271: 271 Sold out of medicinal paste

Qian Zhang’s wife hurriedly asked, “Wife of the Xiao Family, is it two cents for just one pack as well?”
“Of course not. As I just said, one pack is three cents, two packs are four cents. Buying two packs is two cents per pack. If you buy more than two packs, each extra pack costs two cents.”
Ding Er took out the money, “Give me two packs.” 𝐟reew𝗲b𝐧𝚘𝐯𝐞l.c𝚘m
“No problem.” Su Qingyue quickly wrapped the medicinal paste in tree leaves and tied it with grass, then handed two packs to Ding Er.
Ding Er gave her the money.
Qian Zhang’s wife immediately followed, “I want five packs!”
“Alright.” Su Qingyue cheerfully shouted, “Selling medicinal mud toothpaste, which can change a mouth full of yellow teeth into white teeth. Even a wife with bad breath like me can freshen her breath. My husband loves to kiss me after using it… wives who don’t get any kisses, hurry up and buy some! What can two cents buy these days? Just enough for a handful of vegetables, or skipping one meat bun. It’s really economical! Husbands who don’t get intimate, come and buy some too, just two cents can make your wife stop complaining… Su Qingyue’s medicinal mud toothpaste is great for oral hygiene, affordable, and full of benefits. Buy it now, and you’re making a profit!”
With Qian Zhang’s wife’s example in front of them, and hearing Su Qingyue’s persuasive words, everyone was eager to buy some.
Immediately, people began clamoring, “I want two packs!”
“I’ll buy some too, and help people at home buy some. My family has six people, one pack per person, I need six packs…”
“My family has young and old, eight people, I need eight packs…”
“I just want one pack to try…”
Everyone was eager to pay up.
Su Qingyue was skillful in selling the medicinal mud and collecting the money, but she was hard-pressed to keep up. “Everybody, take it easy and line up.” Actually, one pack of medicinal mud toothpaste could be used by the whole family, but she wouldn’t remind people of this, lest she sell fewer packs. Who would willingly sabotage their own business?
It’s no big deal if people buy too much and use it slowly.
Almost all of the twenty or so people present bought some, and some even bought several packs.
Even Wang Qigu, who had been arguing with Su Qingyue earlier, bought some.
Because she was selling so quickly, Su Qingyue discreetly put slightly less mud in each pack without anyone noticing, which allowed her to make a few more packs.
The remaining medicinal mud in the jar was almost gone.
Only one pack of medicinal mud was unsold, so Su Qingyue put the last pack into her basket, straightened her back, and took a breath. She looked at Li Cai, who had been standing nearby and watching the whole time, “Only Li Family’s second son hasn’t bought any yet. What, do you think three cents is too expensive?”
Li Cai hesitated, “Wife of the Xiao Family, you really have a sharp mind, noticing among so many people that only I haven’t bought any yet.
Unfortunately, you’re just too ugly.”
Ding Er laughed, “Ha, Li Cai, she already has a husband. Even if she was pretty, what could you do about it?”
“Forget it. I said that my wife is at least ten times prettier than Su Qingyue.” Actually, Li Cai wanted to buy some medicinal mud too, but seeing how coolly and skillfully Su Qingyue had handled the crowd buying the mud earlier, how quick-witted she was, and even how elegant her movements were when wrapping the mud…
He was just momentarily stunned.
When he came to his senses, there was only one pack of the medicinal mud left, and Su Qingyue called him out. Li Cai took out six cents, “I’ll buy this last pack of medicinal mud.”
Wang Qigu watched and remarked sarcastically, “Li family really has money, paying double for it.”
“Everyone knows how wealthy the Li family is.” Qian Zhang’s wife sighed, “My family barely manages to keep warm and fed. We had to seriously consider whether to buy five packs of medicinal mud for ten cents, yet he can casually give six cents for one pack. It’s the fate of the poor. Whoever marries into the Li family is going to have a good life..”
