The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

"And this watch ticket was given to me by my aunt. I went to the county today and saw that they were selling watches, so I bought one. It will be convenient to tell the time in the future."

She had wanted to buy it for a long time, but she was pregnant before, then in postpartum confinement, and taking care of the baby, so she didn't have time.

He originally wanted Qin Xiang'an to buy it for him, but seeing that he was too busy, he didn't mention it.

She happened to be going to the county today, and when she thought of this, she bought it.

"Yes, you can buy it if you want. By the way, what are those little bottles for?"

The small bottles were all packed in mesh bags; there were quite a few, at least several dozen.

She didn't know what she needed so many small bottles for.

"Just a few days ago, I made some face cream, and many of the women in the family compound wanted some. Those bottles are for storing the face cream I made."

"You want to sell to them?" Qin Xiang'an immediately understood what she meant.

Shen Jingyue felt a little uneasy. "Isn't this bad for you?"

If that's the case, then she should either not sell it.

At worst, I'll just give a bottle to the few sisters-in-law who agreed.

"It's not necessarily bad. If it's just a small amount, it's fine. After all, this place is far from the county town, and the women in the family compound occasionally go to nearby villages to buy things. That's all fine, as long as we don't make a big fuss about it."

There are supply and marketing cooperatives near the military base, but they don't have many items, and many things are out of stock.

"Well, don't worry, I didn't plan to sell too many. A few of my sisters-in-law went to ask Sister Wang, and then Sister Wang came to me, so I couldn't refuse."

She really didn't intend to sell the face cream extensively in the family compound.

This extra amount of money will definitely have an impact on Qin Xiang'an.

Her focus was on the black market.

The market there is large. If we sell it and people see the results, the demand will definitely be high in the future.

However, she had no intention of telling Qin Xiang'an about this.

She'll definitely worry if I tell her.

And all of that is for the future.

She didn't know whether the boy was reliable or not.

……

In the county, young Xia Lin had already sold two boxes of face cream.

He recommended the face cream to his aunt, who had bought grain from him several times, just to give it a try.

He knew that the aunt had a daughter, and that she doted on her daughter. She had bought fabric from him several times to make clothes for her daughter.

He explained the effects of the face cream, and when the aunt heard that the face cream could whiten skin and fade blemishes, she was tempted.

"Really? Is this face cream really as good as you say?" The aunt was skeptical.

"Of course, I don't have many here either. Auntie, you can buy a bottle to try. If it works, keep it. If it doesn't work and there's no effect within ten days, then you can return it to me, and I'll refund you every penny. How about that?"

The auntie was even more tempted, and asked suspiciously, "If it doesn't work, can I really get a refund?"

My daughter's face isn't dark, but it has some freckles. Her originally pretty face looks alright from a distance.

But upon closer inspection, you can see that there are many spots on her face.

She knew her daughter loved beauty, so she had bought her face cream before.

But the face cream only moisturized my face a little; it did absolutely nothing for the blemishes on my face.

If what he said really works, she would be willing to buy a bottle for her daughter to try.

"Yes, you've bought from me so many times, when have I ever lied to you?"

Seeing his confident and resolute words, the aunt's worries disappeared.

"How much will it cost?" With such good results and a refund policy, this must be expensive.

If it's too expensive, she'll have to think about it.

"It's not very expensive, only two yuan."

"Look, this face cream costs more than a dollar. If you spend just a few cents more, this face cream can not only whiten your skin but also fade blemishes. It's a great deal."

"Two yuan? That's so expensive?" The aunt hesitated.

This bottle of face cream is much bigger than this one, and it only costs a little over one dollar. This tiny bottle costs two dollars.

Xia Lin: "Actually, it's not expensive. Think about it, if it works well and can really whiten and fade spots, people will be willing to buy even the most expensive things. It's only two yuan, so it's really not expensive."

"Could you make it cheaper?" The aunt really wanted to buy it, but these two pieces were indeed a bit expensive.

Xia Lin shook his head, "Auntie, this really can't be cheap. If it's cheap, I won't make any profit."

The aunt knew he was honest, and this wasn't a lie, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, two yuan it is. Let's make it clear first, if it doesn't work, I'll ask you for a refund."

After all, it costs two yuan; if it's useless, she definitely won't want it.

Xia Lin readily agreed, "Okay."

He took out a sticker, wrote today's date on it, and stuck it on the bottom of the bottle.

She added, "Auntie, this face cream is only valid for returns within ten days of purchase; it cannot be returned after that time."

"And this little sticker is proof of purchase. I wrote today's date on it. If you want to return it, this little sticker at the bottom cannot be torn off or damaged."

"Otherwise, we won't give you a refund, so please don't remove this sticker or damage it during these ten days."

The aunt remembered it. "I took the small bottle. Okay, I understand."

She handed him the counted money, then took the groceries she had just bought and the face cream and went home.

Then another aunt came, and Xia Lin sold a bottle using the same method.

Although only two bottles have been sold, if this face cream is truly effective, then it will definitely sell well in the future.

He packed his things and went back to his small house in the county.

He had just returned when he saw smoke billowing from the kitchen. His sister was coughing from the smoke and ran out of the kitchen when she heard the noise.

"Cough cough cough, brother, you're back."

"What happened? What happened to your face?"

Xia Lin was somewhat surprised to see thick smoke billowing from the house and her younger sister's face covered in soot.

Xia Yue coughed a few more times, and when she felt a little better, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I was planning to cook, but I don't know if it's because the firewood I collected today wasn't very good, it was hard to light, so there's a lot of smoke."

Xia Lin looked at the smoke rising from the kitchen and sighed.

"From now on, I'll wait for my brother to cook."

He took the basket into the kitchen and went inside to try and relight the firewood.

But all this firewood is raw and not dry enough, no wonder it's not doing well.

"This firewood isn't dry yet. Brother, go outside and gather some drier firewood."

Xia Yue followed in, feeling somewhat guilty. "I'm sorry, brother. All the firewood around here has been picked clean, so I could only break some off from the trees."

My brother used to collect the firewood, but today we ran out.
