Aunt Xue picked up the banknotes on the table and counted them carefully. They were seven thousand taels in total.
Pan'er said just now, is this the money he earns in one day from selling some perfume?
At this moment, Aunt Xue's scalp felt numb and her spine felt chilly.
Aunt Xue has been married into the Xue family for so many years, so she is not ignorant. But what kind of business can you make seven thousand taels of silver in just one day?
Anyway, the main business will definitely not make so much money.
Pan'er, what kind of sideways did you catch? Was he being used as a raft? What kind of trouble did it cause?
Aunt Xue took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then asked calmly: "Pan'er, tell me, how did you earn these seven thousand taels of silver?"
As soon as he heard this, Xue Pan became more energetic. He smiled and said proudly: "Mom, didn't I tell you earlier? I just sell perfume! This perfume was extremely popular as soon as it was sold. One thousand bottles There’s simply not enough to grab.”
"This bottle of perfume sells for fifteen taels of silver, and a thousand bottles are sold for fifteen thousand taels of silver. Because this is a partnership business, fifteen thousand taels, after deducting the capital of one thousand taels, each family will get a net share of seven thousand taels. silver."
"Mom, how about it? Now you know your son, right? Haha! Hahahaha! Hahaha!"
Xue Pan laughed more and more proudly, unable to stop at all.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai felt bitterness in their mouths.
This silly son of hers (silly brother), what kind of water can be sold for fifteen taels of silver? Are they still selling very well? Demand exceeds supply?
Can you earn fourteen thousand taels of silver a day?
Anyone with two minds knows that this is absolutely unreliable. Her silly son had clearly been made into a raft, and he was still counting money for others.
Aunt Xue asked tremblingly: "Pan'er, tell me, what exactly is this perfume? Why is it so expensive? Is it still sold out?"
Hearing this, Xue Pan slapped his head and said, "Look at me, I obviously brought perfume for my mother and sister, but I accidentally forgot about it."
After that, Xue Pan went outside and brought in the large bag of perfume.
"Mom, sister, look, this is perfume."
"This is the nozzle. Just press it and the perfume will spray out. Just spray it on your body a few times and it will smell good for two hours."
"And this perfume is easy to carry. Once the smell fades, you only need to take it out and spray it twice."
"Mom, sister, smell this fragrance? Isn't it very fragrant? This smell is even more fragrant than the incense on Miss Caiyi, the top brand in Baihualou!"
Aunt Xue didn't hear what Xue Pan said, and she quickly spat: "Bah! What on earth are you talking about? Are you talking like this in front of your sister? Why don't you shut up!"
Xue Pan slapped himself lightly and said with a smile: "Mom, sister, do you know me now?"
At this time, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai looked at the perfume in front of them and smelled the perfume with their noses, and they believed it.
The Xue family is originally a family of merchants, so they naturally have good eyesight. This perfume smells so unique, has such a long-lasting fragrance, is so easy to use, and is the only one on the market.
It is not impossible to say that a bottle of this perfume can be sold for fifteen taels of silver, and the supply exceeds demand.
However, for a moment, they couldn't believe it.
Aunt Xue couldn't help but ask: "Pan'er, you didn't lie to me? Did you really make seven thousand taels of silver a day by selling this perfume?"
Xue Pan said angrily: "Mom, you don't believe me so much? Do you think your son will never be able to achieve anything in this life? If you don't believe it, just call the shopkeeper Gao and ask him!"
After saying that, he got up and left in anger and went back to his room.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai looked at each other, exchanged glances with each other, and then sent someone to invite shopkeeper Gao.
After shopkeeper Gao arrived, Aunt Xue inquired carefully through the curtain and found that Xue Pan had indeed not lied to her.
Today, a thousand bottles of perfume were actually sold. A bottle of perfume cost fifteen taels of silver, and it sold for fifteen thousand taels of silver. Xue Pan received a dividend of seven thousand taels.
After sending shopkeeper Gao away, Aunt Xue quickly called Xue Pan again.
After Xue Pan came in again, his face still had a bad look. He was really hurt this time.
However, after Aunt Xue saw him, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and then she cried silently.
Then the more she cried, the more mixed emotions she had. Her voice became louder and her tears were pouring down.
Next to her, Xue Baochai hugged Aunt Xue and tried to persuade her. After a while, she also started crying.
At this time, Xue Pan had already calmed down the anger in his heart. He quickly knelt down on the ground and said with tears: "Mom, my son really didn't lie to you. He really made seven thousand taels of silver."
"If Mom doesn't believe it, just go to the shop with your son and have a look. My son will never dare to lie to you. Mom, don't cry. I will listen to you from now on and never dare to mess around again."
"Mom, if you think your son has done something wrong, hit me and scold me. Don't cry again. When you cry, my heart is broken, wuwu."
After a while, Aunt Xue stopped crying.
She couldn't help hugging Xue Pan and said: "Pan'er, mom didn't blame you, mom is happy! I, Pan'er, have really grown up. Now I am making progress, can make money, and know how to be filial to my mother and take care of my sister."
"Even if I die immediately, I can feel relieved and close my eyes. When I got to Jiuquanxia, I met your father and the ancestors of the Xue family, and I also had an explanation."
Saying this, Aunt Xue shed tears again.
Xue Pan cried: "Mom, what are you talking about? You must live a long life. You haven't waited for me to marry and have children, and you haven't waited for my sister to get married..."
The whole family hugged each other and almost cried, but finally managed to hold back their tears.
After the mother and son had cleansed themselves, Aunt Xue thought of business.
She couldn't help but ask: "Pan'er, I just vaguely heard you say that your business is cooperating with others. Who are you cooperating with? Where did this perfume recipe come from?"
Xue Pan immediately said: "Mom, the person I am partnering with is none other than Brother Huan. The last time I accompanied Brother Huan, I gave him three thousand taels of silver. Didn't Mom even call me here and scold me? Do you want to pause?"
"Mom, you can never imagine that it was because of this meal and these three thousand taels of silver that I fell in Brother Huan's eyes. Brother Huan said, I used to look down on you, but this Once, it really caught my eye."
"He also said that most people who are loyal are those who slaughter dogs, and those who are unfaithful are scholars. Then Brother Huan asked me if I wanted to learn well and make money? Of course I said yes, why don't I want to be able to do great things and let my mother and sister not do anything for me? Worried?"
"Mom, sister, you no longer know how good Brother Huan is. Brother Huan said that I have a lot of shortcomings. If I don't change it, even if I cooperate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make it in the long run."
"I promised to change everything, and Brother Huan advised me to learn well and not to get too close to that bastard from Dongfu and not to cause trouble. Only after I agreed to it was Brother Huan willing to cooperate with me."
