Chapter 217 Big Order
After walking around the shop again, Shang Wan went behind the counter and flipped through the ledger.
Lu Chengjing used Arabic numerals and tables taught to him by Shang Wan for accounting. He was smart and learned quickly. After Shang Wan taught him twice, he became very good at using them and drew several tables to facilitate accounting.
Shang Wan truly felt that it would be a pity for him not to become an accountant.
Lu Chengjing poured a cup of sour plum soup and put it in Shang Wan's hand. Today's sour plum soup was provided free of charge to the guests who had consumed it at Lingyao Pavilion.
Many people drank it and thought it tasted good. They walked out of the shop, then turned back and went to the medicine cabinet to get a pack to take away.
"More people came than we expected."
Shang Wan nodded, "Thanks to the nursery rhyme you wrote."
Most of the customers in the shop came after hearing the nursery rhymes.
Lu Chengjing: "It's my wife's idea."
The two of them were complimenting each other in business, when Qiao Yu'an appeared out of nowhere, "Okay, A Le and I are helping you greet the guests over there. Our throats are smoking, and you and your wife are hiding here."
He handed the diabolo cup in his hand to Lu Chengjing and filled it up.
Lu Chengjing picked up the porcelain pot and filled him a cup.
Qiao Yu'an took a long sip and glanced sideways at Shang Wan, "How could you ever think of using colored glaze to make a cabinet?"
There is no shop like this in the city.
Shang Wan shrugged, "I just thought about it. Haven't you thought about it?"
Qiao Yuan: "..."
He really hadn't thought about it.
"Shop Manager Shang." Manager Zhong walked through the crowd and walked to the counter, "Can I take a moment to speak?"
Shang Wan put away the account books and led the people to the backyard.
There was a big black dog lying on the green door curtain leading to the backyard. When guests came, they bared their teeth and were not allowed to go to the backyard.
The adults are busy in the front and the children are playing in the backyard.
Seeing Shang Wan leading people in, Chu Xu took Yuanyuan and waved his little hand to everyone, "Let's go over there and play hide-and-seek. I'll be the ghost."
"Okay!" The children all followed, and the low table became empty instantly.
Shang Wan asked Guanshi Zhong to sit down, "I wonder if Guanshi Zhong can give me any advice?"
"Don't take advice seriously." Manager Zhong said with an expressionless face, but his tone was very kind, "My boss ordered me to order a batch of all-purpose ointment and golden sore medicine."
Shang Wan heard the sound and knew the elegant meaning, and said with a smile: "Today's half price is only for retail. If you want to wholesale in large quantities, I don't need to open the elixir pavilion."
Manager Zhong, who really wanted to take advantage: "..."
Sure enough, there are no such stupid people in the world.
Shang Wan asked: "How much do you want to order?"
Manager Zhong: "Three hundred boxes of all-purpose ointment and five hundred bottles of golden sore medicine."
Shang Wan: "!!!"
Big order!
Shopkeeper Shang was a little excited when she received her first big order. She tried hard to hold back the corners of her lips that were about to rise and said, "There are three types of universal ointment: red, blue, and white. The prices are different. Which one do you want to order?"
Manager Zhong said without any hesitation, "Red box."
A box of ten taels, three hundred boxes is equivalent to three thousand taels. Even if you get a discount, you can still get two thousand taels. This does not include the money for selling the golden sore medicine.
Shang Wan secretly lamented that selling medicine was indeed a huge profit.
She asked: "When will the delivery be delivered?" "As soon as possible." Manager Zhong said, "Preferably within three days."
Shang Wan thought for a while and declined politely, "Boss Zhong is willing to take care of my business at the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. I am grateful in my heart, but Boss Zhong's needs are too great.
The golden sore medicine can be scraped together, but the production process of multi-purpose ointment is complicated and time-consuming. In just three days, it is impossible to make 300 boxes. "
As if he didn't expect Shang Wan to reject the money that came to his door, Manager Zhong couldn't hide his surprise when he looked at Shang Wan.
Shang Wan's eyelashes drooped slightly, she had her own considerations.
Although the big order made her excited, she had to first consider whether she could afford it.
The efficacy of the Golden Sore Medicine is good because the herbs produced in Lingtian are effective, but the Wanyong Ointment is different. The excellent efficacy is almost entirely supported by the spiritual spring water inside.
Of course she can make three hundred boxes of all-purpose ointment in three days. There are so many people in the village, and each person can make one portion.
However, she had to think about the future.
There is no airtight wall in the world, but ointments with outstanding effects can be produced in large quantities in a short period of time, which will definitely attract people's attention and covet them.
If there are too many people paying attention, things that Shang Wan does not want to happen will happen if they are not protected.
If she eats this big order sent by Boss Zhong, it will probably turn into a poisonous pie and come back to bite her in the future.
She had to eat food one bite at a time, and earn money step by step. She had to save up capital first, lest her teeth would fall apart if she didn't eat the pie.
Manager Zhong stood up and bowed to Shang Wan, "The owner of this batch of medicine needs it urgently. I would like to ask shopkeeper Shang to think of a way out of past friendship."
mutual affection? Is it okay to hit someone?
Shang Wanhehe, why weren't you in a hurry before? Now Zhongli is in a hurry as soon as she opens the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. Who are you kidding?
Besides, although the universal ointment is good, there are thousands of good medicines in the world, and she doesn't believe that Zhongli, as a person, can't get a good medicine with similar effects.
"This...three days is too short. Even if you kneel down, I won't be able to get that much medicine."
Shang Wan turned sideways to avoid this gift, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "I would like to ask, is Boss Zhong buying so many multipurpose ointments and golden sore medicines for resale or for other purposes?"
Manager Zhong stared at Shang Wan silently with an expressionless face, obviously inconvenient to answer this question.
He only said: "Please ask shopkeeper Shang to help me. The price can be easily negotiated."
"Opening the door for business, if it can be done, how can I push the business out?" Shang Wan sighed quietly, picked up the small teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Manager Zhong.
Manager Zhong knew that Shang Wan had more to say, so he held the tea cup and waited for her to continue.
Shang Wan said: "Including all the medicines in the warehouse, within three days, I can prepare up to one hundred boxes of all-purpose ointment and three hundred bottles of golden sore medicine. If you think it is feasible, let's discuss the price. If not, Forgive me for not being able to help.”
Since the universal ointment and golden sore medicine were missing so much, Manager Zhong did not dare to make any arbitrary decisions and said to Shang Wan, "I have to go back and ask my boss for instructions first."
"Of course." Shang Wan stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture towards the door.
Manager Zhong didn't say much, bowed his hands towards Shang Wan and left in a hurry.
Just after he left, Chu Xu, a clever little boy, came over and asked Shang Wan in a low voice: "Aunt Shang, it's so lively in front, can we go play in front?"
"Not now." Shang Wan raised his hand and rubbed his little head, "Wait for another hour, and wait until there are fewer customers in front of you before you come out."
"Okay." Chu Xu wrinkled his nose and continued to be his own 'ghost'.
But Yuanyuan didn't move away. She climbed onto Shang Wan's knees with her hands and feet, hugged her neck and rubbed her affectionately, calling softly: "Mom."
"What's wrong?" Shang Wan hugged the baby and kneaded it, silently sighing that the dumplings felt so good.
Yuanyuan didn't say what was wrong, she just hugged Shang Wan, her little mouth pouted, and she looked a little unhappy.
Due to preparations for the opening of the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, Shang Wan was very busy and had not spent time with his daughter for several days, so Yuanyuan became very attached to her when she saw her recently.
Shang Wan gently patted the little baby on the back and said softly: "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. Then will my mother take you to put out river lanterns?"
