Qin Fang immediately carried all the piggy dolls and instructed her workers to take them downstairs and start selling. Liu Duo held onto one and sat by the window on the second floor, looking at the crowd quickly gathering below. She would just wait for the bonuses and not care about anything else.
Liu Duo suddenly saw Ye Mo standing on the opposite side of the road. She did not know why he was there. Was he waiting for someone? Or waiting for her?
Her mouth twitched, and she looked away. Ever since she had gotten off of the ox cart, she had been ignoring him. In the beginning, she knew he was following her. She did not know what had happened next.
Ye Mo stood there, staring at the tailor’s shop. A crowd gathered not long after she entered the shop. He supposed Qin Fang had made some products based on Liu Duo’s pig drawings and was selling them now. Who knew it was so well-received!
She really did it. She’s earning money! A lot of money! He mumbled silently.
He had been following her, waited for her, and gone with her to town. He did not catch up with her. He did not want to anger her. After all, anger quickens ageing!
If Liu Duo had known what he was thinking, she would definitely have said, “If you know anger quickens ageing, why do you keep making me mad? You want me to pound you?”
The piggy dolls were sold out in a flash, with demands for more. Qin Fang hurriedly ran upstairs, “Little Duo, they’re all sold out. We have to make more next time.”
Liu Duo nodded in agreement. After all, she was the one getting the most benefits!
“Little Duo, next time should we make something different? After all, variety makes a business thrive.” Qin Fang walked over to her and discussed her ideas.
“Certainly,” Liu Duo had planned for this before Qin Fang told her.
Taking up the brush, Liu Duo began to draw a cartoon Xi Yangyang. She was halfway done when she asked, “Miss Fang, how much do the dolls sell for?”
She had almost forgotten the part she had been most concerned with!
Qin Fang was in a daze for a moment before she smiled and said, “Oh dear, I must have been so happy that I got careless and forgot to tell you about that.”
After sipping her tea, she said, “Each doll was sold at one tael of silver, but because several ladies were fighting over the last few, I hiked up the price, selling them at three taels of silver per doll.”
Liu Duo nodded, quite pleased with her honest reply. She could have kept the price hike at the end a secret from her, but she didn’t, and this solidified Liu Duo’s willingness to be long-term partners with her.
Then Liu Duo went on to draw Xi Yangyang, Lan Yangyang, and Fei Yangyang. She only drew those three and then put her brush down.
“I’ll draw these three new products first. After some time, we’ll launch the new products, and the cycle will continue,” she handed the drawings to Qin Fang.
Qin Fang looked them over and over again. How could they be so cute? She loved them very much.
“Miss Fang, we can make and sell the piggy series once more, but not more than that. If anyone still wants them, they could call to order, but the price… I don’t think you need me to tell you that, right?”
She drank some water and smiled.
She did not like tea, so Qin Fang had prepared water for her.
Qin Fang had a businesswoman’s brain, so of course she understood. She nodded and smiled, “Right. You can be sure of that. All you have to do is wait for the bonuses!”
Everyone here was smart. Some things, naturally, could be left unsaid.
The pigs bore eight different expressions, and for each expression they had produced ten. Liu Duo kept one, nine leftovers were sold at three taels of silver each, and the rest cost one tael of silver each.
According to the twenty-eighty ratio, Qin Fang paid her nearly eighty taels of silver. Fifty taels were paid in a silver note, while the remaining twenty or so taels were wrapped nicely in a money bag.
