After some thought, he said, "Stinky girl, your frog is not bad, and the little dog from last time is pretty good too. Sell me some!"
Yang Chuxia glanced at him and said, "You’re interested in such a small business?" She thought to herself that although the frog looked delicate and quite fresh, it was just made of wood, not even high-quality wood, so it wouldn’t sell for much.
Mu Shaoling said, "No matter how small a fly is, it’s still meat. Besides, the price of something depends on where it’s sold."
He thought to himself that these items might sell for only a hundred wen in Wangquan Town, but in the prefecture city, they could sell for several hundred wen, and in the Capital City, they would be worth at least one or two silver taels.
If the quantity of goods was increased, wouldn’t that make a substantial profit?
"It’s doable," Yang Chuxia glanced at him and continued, "but aren’t you going back to the Capital the day after tomorrow? There’s not enough time."
"How much stock do you have now?"
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia looked at Yang Dayong, who thought for a moment and said, "There are more little dogs, about six or seven hundred, and a few hundred little horses and little donkeys each. As for these new frogs and little chicks, there aren’t many, just tens of them."
Mu Shaoling thought for a moment and asked, "How many of these can you make in a day?"
"At first, it was slow, about ten or so a day. Now that we’re faster, we can make several dozen a day."
"Too slow, indeed too slow!" Mu Shaoling thought and said, "How about this, you speed up production and make as many as possible. I’ll take them all."
"Wait, if I give them all to you, what am I going to sell?" Yang Chuxia looked puzzled; she had intended to explore the Quanya market herself.
"Come on, I’m not asking for them for free. Whatever price you were planning to sell them for, I’ll buy them at that price," he thought for a moment and added, "Bring me a few pieces of those jewelry boxes, rouge boxes, and chests that you sell."
However, after saying that, he realized that it would be inconvenient to take them back to the Capital. If only he could open a shop in the Capital.
So he asked, "Hey, stinky girl, have you ever thought of opening a shop in the Capital?"
Who knew that Yang Chuxia would shake her head vigorously? "One must eat meat one bite at a time. I haven’t even opened a shop in the prefecture city yet, let alone the Capital. Besides, the Capital is too far away; if anything happens in the future, I won’t be able to help." After some thought, she added, "However, if you’re interested, besides the share of my shop, I don’t mind if you open a separate shop in the Capital to sell these things and then buy from me for stock."
Mu Shaoling’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He then said, "Weren’t you unwilling to do business with this young master?"
Yang Chuxia shrugged, "That was then, this is now." She thought to herself that she didn’t care about these things anymore since he had already taken a share of her shop. Either way, they were making money, whether they were cooperating or doing it themselves.
"Alright, let’s discuss this matter further later."
Mu Shaoling put this matter aside for the time being, but Luo Linhao, the little devil, stepped forward with the frog in hand.
Poking at him, he said, "Brother Shaoling, you really are blind."
"Hey, how is this young master blind?" Mu Shaoling glared at him, "Don’t know your place, do you? Are you asking for a beating?"
"You really are blind. Haven’t you noticed that my cousin has been sitting there with a dark face? And you still talk to Sister Xiaxia so vigorously." Luo Linhao said, glancing at Ye Zi’an and continuing like a little adult, "If I didn’t know better, I’d think you had your eye on my Sister Xiaxia too."
