Qin Yu set up a simple stall under a big tree in Zhimuo Village.
The stall was filled with the four types of makeup products: Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder, Stone Dai, Rouge, Refreshing Fragrance.
The girls of Ramie Village had been paying close attention to Qin Yu's every move. Now that they saw him come out to set up a stall, they were naturally extremely curious. They ran over shyly in groups of three to five to ask.
"Young Master Qin, are you selling something?”the girls asked.
Qin Yu nodded and said,"That's right. Look at these bottles and jars. They are all used for makeup."
This was Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder. It could brighten one's face. Moreover, this thing contained herbal ingredients that could make one look beautiful.
This was rouge, made from the juice of red and blue flowers. It had a natural color and was excellent for applying to cheeks and lips.
This is a stone, made of a special kind of ore. If you use it to draw your eyebrows, you won't need burnt willow branches.
There was also this Refreshing Fragrance, which was made from the juice of more than ten kinds of flowers and plants. When applied to one's hair, not only was it fragrant, but it could also nourish and protect one's hair, making one's hair even more black and lustrous.”
Qin Yu introduced them one by one, making these girls extremely tempted. They wished they could immediately use these items to try their makeup on.
"Young Master Qin, these things all sound great!”
"But the price should be very expensive. Only rich people can afford it. We poor girls can only look at it. How can we afford it?”
"Young Master Qin, you should go to Gouwu County to sell it. There will definitely be many rich ladies buying it.”
A group of girls began to discuss and even helped Qin Yu come up with ideas.
Qin Yu smiled and said,"It's not expensive. Each item costs ten copper coins. Buy three get one free."”
"Young Master Qin, is it really that cheap?”The surrounding girls were stunned.
"The cheapest box of powder in the county cost ten copper coins, but this Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder actually costs the same price. Young Master Qin, are you lying to us?”
The girls couldn't believe it.
Qin Yu shook his head and smiled." Of course I'm not lying to you. Moreover, these things are all genuine. I'm staying at Shi Yiguang's house. If there's any quality problem, I'll definitely replace them."”
"That's great. Young Master Qin, here are ten copper coins and a box of Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder.”A girl took out 10 copper coins from a sachet at her waist and handed them to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu took the money and gave her a box of Jade Girl Peach Blossom Powder.
"Young Master Qin, this is the thirty copper coins I've saved up for half a year. Since it's buy three get one free, I'll take all four of them.”A girl happily handed over 30 copper coins.
Qin Yu then took one of each of the four items and gave it to her.
In less than two hours, Qin Yu had sold all the packaged Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder, Rouge, Stone Dai and Refreshing Fragrance.
In total, he earned five gold coins.
As for Qin Yu, he had used 4 gold coins to buy these four items. After deducting the cost of the packaging box, the net profit was about 10%.
It was a very thin profit, but as long as he could sell more, he could still make a lot of money.
The girls who had bought cosmetic powder rushed home to test the effect.
At noon.
When Qin Yu was eating, someone outside the door asked to see him.
The person who came was the chief of the nearby Zhao Family Village. This person was sweating profusely and was very anxious. He said,"Young Master Qin, the ten good trees of our village have already been prepared. I beg Young Master Qin to immediately build a waterwheel for us to irrigate the paddy fields.”
"Alright, after I finish eating, I'll go to your village to survey the terrain.”Qin Yu's words made that Li Zheng relax. He sat in the courtyard and waited.
After Qin Yu finished eating, he went to their village to investigate with Zhao Lizheng.
When Qin Yu arrived at the Zhao family village, the entire village lined the streets to welcome him.
Qin Yu looked at the terrain of the Zhao family village and found a suitable water source to set up a waterwheel. Then, he asked the villagers to transport the ten fine trees to the water source and said.
"Everyone, please disperse. The construction method of the waterwheel is a secret passed down from my ancestors. It is strictly forbidden for outsiders to know. Please do not approach this place before dawn tomorrow. I will ask my clansmen to come here and build waterwheels. We can start watering the rice fields tomorrow morning.”
The villagers rejoiced. Although they were curious about the construction process of the waterwheel, they were still driven away by the chief.
Qin Yu then specially instructed the Li Zheng: "Please abide by the agreement I just made and forbid the villagers from coming here to spy on us before sunrise tomorrow. Otherwise, my clansmen will leave on their own and the waterwheel will not be able to be successfully built. At that time, I will not come again.”
The Li Zheng nodded his head in agreement very seriously, repeatedly agreeing.
After the villagers left, Qin Yu put the 10 fine trees into the system space. A small wood icon appeared. 10。
After that, Qin Yu spent 100 gold coins to set up a waterwheel at the water source. He then spent 295 gold coins to speed up the construction progress. He only needed 12 hours to complete the construction. It just so happened that it was midnight at this time.
Just as he was about to leave the Zhao family village, the Li Zheng of the other villages came to find Qin Yu to build a waterwheel.
Qin Yu also went over. The same agreement, the same process.
Two days passed.
Qin Yu had gone to a total of over ten villages.
He harvested 150 fine trees and built 15 sets of waterwheels.
Now, Qin Yu's reputation had already spread throughout the entire Gouwu County. Even in the tea houses and wine shops in the county town, people were talking about Qin Yu from time to time, as well as his righteous act of building waterwheels for the villagers to irrigate their farmland for free!
Most of the villagers who have benefited from this also know how to repay Qin Yu's kindness. They have even come all the way to Xi Shi's house to give him fruits, vegetables and other local specialties.
In addition to the waterwheel that the great masters have been talking about recently, the cosmetic powder that Qin Yu sells has also begun to spread from Ramie Village to other villages. It has become the beloved treasure of the girls in their boudoir. There are even girls who ask people to come to Qin Yu to buy cosmetic powder because the goods here are cheap and of very good quality.
Qin Yu was already planning to open a rouge and cosmetic shop in the county city and start the first step of his business empire.
On the third day after Qin Yu helped the villages build the waterwheels, waterwheels were basically popularized in the entire Gouwu County. Qin Yu also became idle.
He counted the days. No matter what, Zheng Dan's monthly letter should be leaving today.
It was time to pay her a visit.
Therefore, Qin Yu woke up early today and prepared some gifts. After breakfast, he went to visit Zheng Dan with Xi Shi.
