Su Zhi went up to the third floor and stood at the edge of the long corridor. She lowered her voice and replied, "I'm giving the ratio according to the market price, and I didn't say that the goods will be in my hands, so I have to sell them at that price."
Like this, Li Yi finally understood.
Emotion was something that he had in mind here. It was true that he couldn't earn much with just the percentage, but as long as the price of the items increased by one tier, he would earn some money! Besides, there were things that could not be bought in the capital, or even in the entire Great Wei Empire. The higher the price, the more money one could earn!
"Hehe, so that's how it is. Little Su is really smart."
Su Zhi walked into the cubicle, took out a pen and paper and wrote down two contracts. After carefully determining that there were no problems, she took them to the second floor for Hu Shang to sign them.
After the contract was signed, the few of them left in a relaxed manner. They were already planning on when they would be able to do business the next time.
In order to prevent the item from being sold, Su Zhi kindly suggested a few suggestions and then mentioned some things that she needed.
Ai Hui nodded and promised to bring the goods he needed intact.
As they were leading the horses away, the two men who had been pretending to sell exchanged glances and left in a hurry.
It was almost noon when he sent off the merchant. As the flow of customers gradually decreased, Autumn Red came back from the outside with a box of pearls of good quality.
Su Zhi once again took the box of pearls and stuck it into the cubicle. Using the storage room's tools, she ground the pearls into powder and also took some ingredients for making the beautiful white frost from the system.
When Qiuhong sent lunch to the cubicle, Su Zhi had already made a few bottles of skin toner from the dried flowers.
"Boss, it's still early. Please take a rest."
Su Zhi nodded and took the newly made products to the boutique.
The results from the morning were not bad. The scarce items on the shelves were being filled up one after another.
After a while, he would leave the time to deal with the orders he had received previously. This day would basically pass by.
After a long lunch, Su Zhi was finally tired to the point that she couldn't even stand up straight. She leaned on the table and took a nap.
Faintly, she heard curses coming from the lobby. She moved her numb arms and stretched.
The cursing from below did not stop. Just as she was about to go downstairs and check out the situation, Qiu Hong had already arrived.
"Boss, something terrible has happened. Please go down and take a look."
Su Zhi opened the door and saw Qiu Hong, still frightened, standing outside the cubicle with an anxious look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone came down here to ask for an explanation. That woman is vicious. Brother Li has already talked to her, but she insisted on causing trouble. No one can persuade her."
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Su Zhi did not dare to delay and immediately went downstairs to investigate.
Just as he reached the first floor, a sharp curse began to resound, "Look at this big guy! What a crappy place this is! What a terrible place to sell my child! What should I do if I can't get married in the future!"
In the center of the hall, there was a fat woman holding the hand of a thirteen-fourteen year old girl who was crying in grief. The girl's entire face was covered with a red rash, and her original appearance could no longer be seen.
Su Zhi was startled and quickly calmed down. She went up and asked, "Madam, what is it that you need to tell me?"
When the woman saw her, she pointed at her face and shouted, "You! What soap did you sell to my daughter? Your stupid thing ruined the child's face like this! What do you think we should do?!"
Qiu Hong came close to Su Zhi's ear and explained, "This lady came yesterday afternoon and didn't bring much silver with her. I sold her an essential oil soap by hand."
Su Zhi understood and walked up to the girl. Carefully examining the red rash on her face, she asked, "Has the girl eaten anything bad? Our handmade soap can't be this allergic. "
When the fat woman heard this, she became displeased and shouted loudly in front of the girl, "What? You don't want to admit it? These are the bottles and jars that your family sells to harm people, big guy be careful, if you use these things you will ruin your face! If you don't believe me, then come and look at my daughter's face. How are we going to get married in the future? "
After he finished speaking, he collapsed onto the ground and flung his sleeves and started crying.
The people who came to buy something whispered to each other.
Li Yi could no longer bear to listen. He rushed forward, grabbed the fat woman, and pointed at her nose while cursing: "Stop spouting nonsense. We've been opening our store for so long and've already met a guy like you. Whether or not he's a scammer is unknown!"
Su Zhi stepped forward to persuade Elementary Scholar Li to leave, but her attitude was still quite calm. "Madam, I wonder if your young lady has had such symptoms before." In addition, based on the current situation, any mother who wants to visit the infirmary should be the first to do so. "
The fat woman stared at her angrily, spitting out a mouthful of saliva. "I was afraid you would deny it!" "My daughter doesn't feel bad, but she was fine before. She just used your family's things and became like this!"
The ruckus grew louder and louder, and the entrance of the shop was now filled with many onlookers.
Su Zhi was worried that it would affect the business so she kindly advised, "How about this, we'll walk straight ahead of the store and then take a left turn. There's a clinic that'll take the children to have a look first. If it's really because of us, I'll pay the medical fees."
The woman was unrelenting, clearly wanting to blow up the matter. The girl by the side grabbed the woman's clothes and mumbled, "Mother, I feel terrible."
Hearing this, the woman did not change her attitude. She slapped away the girl's hand and viciously said, "Who told you to buy people's things without knowing if it would harm you or not? Don't be afraid to use it!"
Su Zhi's face turned cold and was already displeased, "There's nothing you can do if this continues. If the child is yours, how could you bear for her to show her face in such a manner in front of so many people? It doesn't matter if you're not afraid of losing face, there are other people in the family, right? Furthermore, as I said, if the responsibility falls on us, compensation will not be lacking. If you continue to pester us like this, we won't have a good ending. "
When the woman heard this, she was willing to give up. She stood up, patting her butt, and glared viciously at Su Zhi.
"Sure, follow us to the infirmary to see if that thing is harmful!" I still have that thing with me, so everyone can go take a look! "
Without fear, Su Zhi nodded and left Flower Mansion with the two of them.
Li Yi was extremely worried. He was afraid that someone would cause trouble again. The store was busy opening branches, so if there was a lawsuit, wouldn't the business end up ruined?
"Qiu Hong, go and take a look. Tell me whenever there's any news!"
Qiu Hong was also worried that Su Zhi would not be able to handle this alone, hence she followed after her.
A group of people came to the infirmary and called for a doctor. The elderly doctor was also frightened when he saw the little girl's scarlet face. After carefully examining the diagnosis, he announced the result. "Something was used to cause the girl to be unwell."
After the fat woman heard this, she clapped her hands and said to Su Zhi, "I heard it, it's your responsibility. You won't be able to escape, right?"
Su Zhi ignored her and only smiled at the old doctor, "Doctor, in your opinion, what is the cause of this discomfort? by the way, to see if this essential oil soap was made. "
The woman took out a handmade soap wrapped in a silk cloth and handed it to the doctor.
The old doctor stroked his goatee, took out some silver, and fiddled with the transparent, palm-sized soap. He shook his head and said, "The silver needles are not black. They don't seem to be caused by this."
"Hey, Doctor, look carefully." The fat woman squeezed forward, stared at the soap and said, "This thing looks good, it's transparent and it has petals. That damned girl of mine specially hid her money to buy it, and normally she doesn't touch anything else!"
The doctor nodded and turned to an empty bowl. He placed the soap in it and dipped it in water.
He waited until the water in the bowl slowly turned to paste before he took out some silver and dipped it in the liquid.
This time, he didn't even need to say anything. Even Su Zhi herself saw the signs of the needle turning black.
"Poison!" "It really is poisonous!" The fat woman slapped her thigh and cried out anxiously.
Su Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She examined the transparent hand soap in the bowl and fell into deep thought.
These things were all personally made by her, and taking into account the fact that there would be people who would be allergic to it, the materials she used were all very mild.
With so many items sold, it was impossible for something to have gone wrong until now. Looking at the situation of the silver needles, it was obvious that someone had done something.
She immediately turned around and ordered Qiu Hong, "Go back and see if the other handmade soaps are in such a condition. If you don't have any silver needles, take out the other silver ornaments and give it a try."
Qiu Hong nodded and quickly ran back.
Su Zhi tugged at her heart and asked, "Then Doctor, can this child's face be restored?"
The old doctor frowned, hesitating to speak for a while. Finally, he said, "I can't say for sure. From the water in the bowl, I can tell that something has been poisoned. I can't tell what it is."
She had painstakingly made these things herself, so how could she possibly poison them?
Su Zhi did not believe that it was caused by handmade soap. It must have been sold and used by someone before it could be used.
Not long after, Qiu Hong rushed back. Before she could catch her breath, she replied, "Boss, I've checked them one by one. It's not because of us. None of the hand soap that entered the water has any problems."
So it was bought and drugged.
