The eldest princess seemed to notice something strange about Duan Wenjun, and seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.
A bright smile appeared on her face. "With these five bottles, I count your filial piety as enough. I don't want to have any other ideas for you. How many of these do you have? Tell me. Don't be like you." You're like me, you're so picky, you're afraid that others will take advantage of you."
Hearing the eldest princess's words, Duan Wenjun suddenly felt like he had received a reassurance.
He hurriedly laughed and said, "What are you talking about, aunt! My aunt likes my perfume, and Wenjun is too late to be happy? How could he be so picky?"
The eldest princess nodded slightly, already thinking about it.
Since there are more than these five bottles of perfume, it means that these poems were not deliberately written by Duan Wenjun to please himself.
Could it be that it was just as random as he said?
"It's just because Wenjun just made this perfume. The craftsmanship is very complicated, and it is also related to the flower season, so the output is extremely low." While the eldest princess was thinking, Duan Wenjun pointed to the osmanthus perfume on the table, and continued He said, "Just like this osmanthus perfume, Wen Jun only made it the day before he went out. Counting this bottle, there are only five bottles in total."
Seeing the eldest princess staring at him, he continued, "The five flavors added up, the total is less than two hundred bottles."
The eldest princess nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Are you going to bring this perfume to the capital to sell?"
Duan Wenjun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Auntie, you also know how unreliable my fat dad is. He has been gone for several months without any news. With such a big mess like Wangjiang, I have to find a way!" He pretended to be a man. His face looked distressed, "It's not easy to feed so many people!"
"No, I just came up with this new thing, and I wanted to take the opportunity to go to Beijing to see if it's possible to exchange it for some money."
"After all, I have the burden of feeding and clothing nearly ten thousand people on my shoulders!"
"It's not easy!" After hearing this, the eldest princess nodded slightly. "You have the livelihood of so many people on your shoulders, so it's hard on you child."
Mo Shoucheng on the side frowned when he heard this and began to curse.
Duan Wenjun was indeed right, he had been worrying about money during this period.
However, from Mo Shoucheng's point of view, all this was his own fault.
If he hadn't tinkered with the Duan's Inn, if he hadn't wanted to build the Duan's Inn into the best inn in Dashun, why would he have made his life so miserable?
Hard work.
Yes, it's hard work.
Mo Shoucheng was very satisfied with his choice of words.
This is a new word he just learned from Duan Wenjun not long ago.
It was good that Duan Daxiong left suddenly, but he left tens of thousands of taels of silver to two housekeepers, Zhang Yuhen and Gu Hongfu.
If Duan Wenjun didn't act according to common sense, even if he took in the thousands of people from Moon Island, he would still be able to live a very nourishing life...
Listening to the eldest princess lamenting that Duan Wenjun had suffered, Mo Shoucheng couldn't help but think, what would the eldest princess think if she knew that this girl invested 800,000 taels of snowflake silver in the Duan's Inn?
That’s eight hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver!
Jingzhou’s annual treasury revenue is not that much...
The eldest princess naturally didn't know this, and she also felt a little guilty in her heart.
She knew Duan Daxiong's strength.
The Duan family has plenty of money.
If Duan Wenjun hadn't taken in the thousands of bandits from Moon Island in order to help him, the Duan family's money would have been enough for him to squander for a lifetime.
These are the exact words Duan Daxiong said to her.
Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with the people Duan Wenjun took over Moon Island.
The eldest princess also knows the Duan family's difficulties at this moment.
She didn't refute Duan Daxiong at that time, and she felt even more sorry for Duan Wenjun now.
Therefore, in her mind, she was thinking about how to compensate him, "Wenjun, how much does your perfume cost?"
"The production process of this perfume is very complicated, especially the extraction of the essence is very difficult." Duan Wenjun's face became more solemn. "If we only count the cost, it will cost nearly eighty taels of silver per bottle."
"Eighty taels of silver a bottle?" The eldest princess, who had always been calm, now exclaimed, "Is it so expensive?"
"Not bad!" Duan Wenjun nodded. "This is why I don't sell in Wangjiang, but must bring it to the capital. I feel that only in a prosperous big city like Beijing can there be rich people. I can afford it and use it.”
"So, the bottles of perfume you gave me cost four hundred taels of silver?" The eldest princess frowned again.
Seeing Duan Wenjun nodded slightly, Mo Shoucheng on the side suddenly became a little uneasy.
When Zhao Ling'er reported to Duan Wenjun about the situation in the perfume workshop, Mo Shoucheng was beside him.
Although the craftsmanship of this perfume is complicated and the cost is relatively high, a bottle of it will not cost more than one tael of silver at most.
However, Duan Wenjun actually told the eldest princess that one bottle cost eighty taels of silver.
Moreover, he didn't blush and his heart didn't beat...
This ability to speak big words is beyond my reach.
Just when Mo Shoucheng was surprised, the eldest princess spoke again, "Although this thing is expensive, there are still many people who can afford it in Shangliang City. For example, the empress in the palace gives it to aristocratic families and high officials in the court." Ladies and ladies..."
Having said this, the eldest princess suddenly frowned and lowered her head as if she was lost in thought.
Duan Wenjun, of course, couldn't say much, so he could only carefully wait for her next words.
After a long time, the eldest princess finally raised her head and said slowly, "Wenjun, do you have any ideas about the price of this perfume?"
When Duan Wenjun heard this, he understood instantly.
Princess, you must have something on your mind.
So, he pretended to be confused and shook his head, "Wen Jun came to the capital for the first time. He is not familiar with everything, so he asked his aunt for advice!"
The eldest princess nodded slightly, "I think the ladies in the palace must like this thing very much. I can help you tell it to everyone. But money has been tight in these years, and the entire palace is very frugal. My masters are not very wealthy. How about you set the price at one hundred taels of silver per bottle?"
Duan Wenjun was immediately shocked when he heard this.
One hundred taels of silver per bottle.
The cost of one bottle is less than one tael of silver.
This is a hundred times profit.
When the eldest princess asked him the price just now, he just wanted to increase the value of the gift.
As for how many bottles he will sell at that time, he is still planning to inspect the market in the capital before making a decision.
But he didn't expect that the eldest princess would not only help him sell it, but also set such a high price.
Seeing Duan Wenjun's surprised expression, the eldest princess thought that he was not satisfied with the price, so she hurriedly explained, "Wenjun, I know that these things of yours are treasures. The price of one hundred taels is indeed not expensive."
"But you don't know the situation in the palace these years."
"The aristocratic families outside are much richer than the money inside."
"Otherwise, the emperor will not let Yun'er take Shan Fengshan into his own property."
"Although you only sold one hundred taels a bottle in the palace, you still made more than 20% profit."
"Besides, you have to take a long-term view on this matter."
"There are no ladies in the palace who are related to each other in the court. If the ladies use your perfume, the ladies outside will naturally follow suit."
"Those people are much richer than those in the palace. If you raise the price when the time comes, if you order five hundred taels a bottle of things used by the empress in the palace, people will definitely rush to buy them. You can still make a profit. The bowl is full.”
Five hundred taels...
Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard what the eldest princess said.
