Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 286: 101: Beat up the drowning dog, protect Yangyang!_3

Ni Chenggui nodded, “Sure, Aunt can be responsible for it.”

Considering the high salary Ni Yang paid her monthly, she ought to take responsibility!

…

On the ninth day of the year, Ni Yang’s skincare shop began its formal renovations.

A 60-square-meter shop, with a renovation period of 21 days.

Since a physical store was being opened, the production of whitening, moisturizing creams, and wrinkle creams would naturally have to increase. Therefore, Ni Yang planned on adding 100 more boxes to the initially planned 30.

This means that whitening moisturizing creams and anti-wrinkle creams will each be limited to 130 boxes per month, totaling 260 boxes when combined.

Whereas facial cleansers, aloe vera gel, and acne and spot removing creams are supplied without any limit.

Before the physical store was opened, facial cleansers and aloe vera gel were consistently selling out. With a physical store now, these skincare products will surely sell even better, so Ni Yang must prepare in advance to avoid running out of stock.

The ingredients Ni Yang uses in her skincare products are all natural plants.

The most commonly used are milk, aloe vera, and portulaca.

Since Ni Yang had previously started buying aloe in the village, most villagers started planting a fair amount of aloe at home.

However, for portulaca, Ni Yang still had to go to the Vegetable Market.

Instead of buying outside, it’d be better to buy everything in the village. This not only ensures that benefits don’t go to outsiders, but it also boosts Jinghua Village’s economic development.

While having dinner, Ni Yang was eating and thinking about this matter.

“Mom, tell everyone tomorrow that our family will not only buy aloe, but also roses and portulaca. Fresh roses are 60 cents per jin and portulaca is 30 cents per jin.”

Hearing this, Ni Cuihua asked in confusion, “Yangyang, what do you need roses for?”

Ni Yang replied with a smile, “For making rose hydrosol. Our Ice Muscle Jade Skin physical store is about to open soon, and I want to develop a new product.”

Aside from making rose hydrosol, Ni Yang also wanted to make a high-end perfume with roses.

But this plan had to be postponed because if roses were planted now, it would not bloom until May.

Ni Cuihua nodded, “Alright, I will tell everyone tomorrow.”

The next day, when Ni Cuihua informed everyone about Ni Yang’s plan to buy portulaca and roses, everyone was thrilled.

Firstly because portulaca and roses were easier to care for than rice plants, and many complicated procedures like plowing, planting seedlings, harvesting rice, drying rice, etc. were eliminated.

Secondly, the price was higher.

At this time, a hundred jin of rice was only sold for 6 yuan at the Grain Station.

No wonder the life of farmers was so tough!

A hundred jin of rice was sold for 6 yuan, but a hundred jin of roses could be sold for 60 yuan! This increased the profits by tenfold!

In addition, portulaca is a weed, so not only can roses be planted on a piece of land, the ground underneath the roses can also be planted with portulaca.

Killing two birds with one stone – this way, one mu of land could earn at least two to three hundred yuan.

Previously, each mu of land could only make twenty to thirty yuan.

This way, everyone’s annual income could be at least two to three thousand yuan. In the past, this was unimaginable!

After all, in the past, everyone’s annual income was only one to two hundred yuan.

Those who could actually spend wisely would have dozens of yuan saved as a best-case scenario.

After Ni Cuihua left, everyone exclaimed that Ni Cuihua must’ve accumulated good karma in her past life to have such an excellent daughter as Ni Yang in this life.

Who wouldn’t envy Ni Cuihua in the village now?

In fact, not only villagers envied Ni Cuihua, people from other villages also envied the people of Jinghua Village.

Who wouldn’t want such a lucky star that could boost the entire village economy?

…

The second day Ni Chenggui went to work, he handed in his resignation to his manager.

At this time, being a clerk at the tram company was equivalent to being a public servant in the future, indeed a stable job! There was even a retired pension! Therefore, his colleagues could not understand why Ni Chenggui wanted to resign.

Jia Lan, a colleague who got along well with Ni Chenggui, said, “Chenggui, if you regret it now, it’s not too late! How could you give up such a stable job so easily!”

Ni Chenggui laughed, “Xiaolan, I don’t regret it!”

Jia Lan sighed.

Ni Chenggui continued, “Xiaolan, why don’t you quit too? Then come to work with me, the salary is double what you’re making here.”

Jia Lan widened her eyes incredulously, “Chenggui, have you gone mad?! You’re actually asking me to work for an individual business operator?!”

Working for an individual business operator was already considered the lowest-level job- one can only imagine how humble it must’ve been to work for one!
