95 095: falling into a pit

Machine Translation

Wang Xuehua was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Then, she said, "Sell? This, this can also be sold?"

Kang Xiaoqiao nodded with certainty, while Wang Xuehua continued to frown and said, "This, everyone goes to the Supply and Marketing Agency to buy snow cream. I've never heard of anyone selling it. This, this doesn't seem to be allowed."

"Is there anyone who will buy it in the same place?"

If this was in the past, it would definitely not be allowed and would be punished. But now, the policy had been loosened. She had seen people selling fruits and whatnot in the city, but she was not sure if this would work.

Moreover, she did not think that this thing could be sold.

Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I made it myself, and you don't want me to sell it? Then what do I rely on to earn a living? When I was in school, they gave out food stamps. But now I'm married, I have no job and no money. Now I don't even have food stamps. How am I supposed to live?"

Wang Xuehua was stunned by Kang Xiaoqiao's question. Then, she said in puzzlement, "Why can't you live? Everyone, everyone lives like this..."

Kang Xiaoqiao was actually speechless. But soon, she said, "No, I don't want to do that. I want to earn money by myself. Otherwise, what am I going to eat?"

Then, she said pitifully, "Sister-in-law Wang, please help. It's not like you need to sell it. Just tell the truth when others ask. Otherwise, all my years of hard work will be wasted. I'm afraid that I won't do these things anymore."

"It costs so much, and I can't earn money. What else can I do?"

Wang Xuehua's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She didn't care if Kang Xiaoqiao's hard work was for naught, but if she didn't do it, where would she find such good stuff?

Besides, Kang Xiaoqiao didn't ask her to sell anything. She just told the truth when someone asked. She didn't make any mistakes, did she?

Kang Xiaoqiao saw that Wang Xuehua was loosening up, so she immediately said, "Sister-in-law Wang, please help me. In the future, as long as I continue to sell, I'll give sister-in-law a 10% discount."

When Wang Xuehua heard this, her heart jumped. 10% discount? What did this mean? Could it be that she had to pay money for her own use in the future?

When it came to money, Wang Xuehua's attention was immediately diverted. She immediately said, "Sister Xiaoqiao, what is a 10% discount? And you, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she smiled and said, "A 10% discount, for example, for an item that costs one yuan. After a 10% discount, you can buy it for 90 cents. It's cheaper by 10 cents. Also, according to the current pricing, this small bottle costs 20 cents per bottle and can be used for three days. This big one costs 3.50 yuan and can be used for about two months."

When Wang Xuehua heard this, she immediately cried out, "So expensive?"

"Sister Xiaoqiao, no one will buy such an expensive bottle. A big bottle of snow cream from the supply and marketing agency costs only 2 dollars. It can be used for two to four to five months. This is several times more expensive than the others..."

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this... She immediately said with great confidence, "It's a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. The whitening cream I made is many times better than the snow cream. I still feel that I've sold it at a loss. Sister-in-law, you've personally used it, so you know it best. Even if you apply 10 bottles of snow cream, will it be as effective as this small bottle. However, considering everyone's actual situation and the fact that we're all from the same family courtyard, I'll just deduct the money I spent on the medicinal herbs to earn some living expenses."

"Someone will definitely buy such a good item. If no one buys it, I won't blame sister-in-law."

"Hey, you know me too. Since I'm here, I'm more familiar with you, sister-in-law. So, if there's anything good, I'll tell you first. I'll only give you the cost price. Sister-in-law, I didn't earn your money at all. I just spent more effort on it."

"If you don't help me, I'll have to think of another way."

Then she sighed, looking very regretful.

Wang Xuehua immediately became nervous when she heard this. If Kang Xiaoqiao found someone else, would her 10% discount be gone?

This whitening cream was so good that she planned to use it to cut off her days. Then, she immediately calculated the price. A small bottle of it cost 2.2 cents. It could be used for three days, and it would cost 2 dollars a month. In these two months, it would cost 4 dollars. And if she directly bought a large bottle, it would be 50 cents cheaper. With a 10% discount, it would cost 3.6 dollars. That would save a whole 90 cents.

Moreover, Kang Xiaoqiao had also said that whether or not anyone would buy it was none of her business. She was just telling the truth, and she could save 90 cents. That was a very good deal.

There was no discount at this moment. If she went to the Supply and Marketing Agency to buy things, then it would be as much as they said. Moreover, the Supply and Marketing Agency and those people from the grain store had their eyes on the top of their heads. If they didn't want to buy it, they wouldn't buy it. If they didn't want to buy it, then so be it.

Therefore, when she heard that there was a discount, she immediately wavered. Now, she had forgotten the initial time when they felt that Kang Xiaoqiao's sales were too expensive. Instead, she thought about how much they had taken advantage of her.

People were always like this. They had no resistance to discounts and things that could be taken advantage of.

Kang Xiaoqiao's words were also very powerful. She had given the other party benefits and pressure. In order to not run away from the benefits, she had to work quickly.

This was the experience that Kang Xiaoqiao had learned over the years. If you wanted a horse to run, you had to feed the horse grass. At the same time, you had to tighten the reins from time to time, or else it would not listen to you.

Sure enough, when Wang Xuehua heard it, she said without hesitation, "Since Sister Xiaoqiao has said so, how can I not help? It's just that your sister-in-law is dumb and doesn't know how to speak..."

Then, she looked at the thing in her hand and said with some heartache, "Sister Xiaoqiao, you should keep this. It's not easy to make it and it cost a lot of money. Sister-in-law can't take advantage of you."

"Sister-in-law wants this beauty cream. I'll send the money to you in a while."

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard that, she said happily, "Sister-in-law Wang, no need, no need. This is for you. Don't be polite with me."

"Also, the water in your hand is not for sale. It's only for this beauty cream. Also, you don't have to give me money for this bottle. This is also for sister-in-law. Thank you for helping me."

Hearing this, Wang Xuehua's heart instantly brightened. It was good that she didn't spend money, but she still felt embarrassed to decline it. Seeing Kang Xiaoqiao's sincere face and indeed not being polite to her, her heart couldn't help but feel warm.

Before she left, she repeatedly promised that she would definitely talk nicely. Kang Xiaoqiao smiled as she watched Wang Xuehua walk out of the courtyard. Her heart was filled with happiness, and the first step of the plan was successfully completed.

Then, she took out a water radish from the small basket and took a bite. After a few crunching sounds, she swallowed it and said with a satisfied expression, "No, I have to make more. Haha, I'll soon have some money."

...

Wang Xuehua did not disappoint. In just a few days, half of the people in the family courtyard knew about the miraculous effect of the whitening cream in Kang Xiaoqiao's hands.
