Chapter 77 The Princess’ Money-Making Prowess

Chapter 77: Princess Ye’s Cash-Grabbing Skills Are Off the Charts

Ji Yuntang didn’t care whether he believed it or not. Surrounded by so many people, she knew they were all after her facial cleanser and acne cream, and she was already grinning from ear to ear.

Looks like having Wang Sheng demonstrate on the spot at yesterday’s medical competition really paid off.

Ji Yuntang could already see cash flying right into her pockets, all landing in her purse.

She raised her hand to quiet the crowd. “Alright, everyone, quiet down and listen up.”

At her words, the crowd immediately shut up.

“I didn’t bring the cleanser and acne cream with me, but there are still a total of one hundred tubes at the manor. If you want them, line up now to register your names, put down a deposit of twenty silver taels, and bring fifty taels when you pick them up. One per person, no exceptions.”

Hearing that each person could only buy one, some were a little bummed, but others rushed forward like crazy.

This stuff is so good, getting one is a steal—no time to be picky.

Ji Yuntang kept things in order, had Tao Zhi write down the names, and started taking deposits herself, taking cash and noting each name.

Finally, once the line hit a hundred people, she stopped accepting registrations.

She’d raked in a solid two thousand taels in silver notes.

The ones who registered were beaming, while the rest looked glum. Ji Yuntang then comforted them:

“Ladies who missed out, don’t sweat it. I’ll whip up another batch soon, and you can come buy them then.”

At this, the women who didn’t register smiled with relief.

At Fanghua Pavilion, Ji Yuntang grabbed two outfits, and two for Luo Junhe too, plus one each for Chen Hu, Tao Zhi, and Yaoniang.

Tao Zhi, tagging along, ended up with a bag full of silver notes and new threads. She felt dizzy, like she was dreaming.

Ji Yuntang had blown her mind over and over these past few days.

Tao Zhi now thought their princess was basically unstoppable.

Ji Yuntang could do anything.

As they left Fanghua Pavilion, a huge crowd of women trailed them like a wave, making Tao Zhi hyped but a bit jittery.

She leaned in and muttered, “Princess, do we actually have that cleanser and acne cream back at the manor?”

They’d already taken deposits. If they brought these folks back and the manor had squat, it’d be a disaster.

They could even get sued.

“I said we’ve got them, so we do.”

Ji Yuntang raised an eyebrow. In her space, she had not just a hundred tubes but ten thousand.

However, selling stuff needed a hunger marketing strategy—she couldn’t dump all products at once.

Otherwise, people wouldn’t be as hyped for new stuff.

Ji Yuntang led the crowd to the gates of Prince Ye’s manor. She told them to wait outside while she grabbed the goods.

Inside the manor, she found a quiet spot, pulled out fifty tubes of cleanser and fifty of acne cream, and had Tao Zhi haul them out in two boxes.

Ji Yuntang scanned the crowd with her pretty eyes and announced in a loud voice, “Fifty tubes of cleanser and fifty of acne cream are right here. Each tube is seventy silver taels. I’ve already taken twenty taels as a deposit, so you just need to pay another fifty taels now. When I call your name, line up to grab your stuff.”

With that, Tao Zhi began calling out names, and Ji Yuntang handled the payments.

In no time flat, all hundred products were sold out.

The buyers were over the moon, while the rest could only sigh and envy what others had.

Someone asked, “Princess Ye, when’s the new stock coming? What if we don’t hear about it and they sell out again?”

Ji Yuntang had already thought of that.

In ancient times, information traveled slowly without the internet, causing many to receive news late.

“The new stock will be ready in about ten days. But I plan to open a skincare shop on White Tiger Street, where the new products will be sold. Those interested can keep an eye out in advance.”

Hearing this, many women felt reassured.

As long as they pre-ordered early, they wouldn’t have to worry about missing out on the facial cleanser and acne cream.

In just a short while, Ji Yuntang had earned five thousand taels of silver. Combined with the deposits, that totaled seven thousand taels.

This left Chen Hu and Tao Zhi stunned. “Princess, you’re amazing! You’ve earned more in one day than the entire annual income of Prince Ye’s manor.”

Ji Yuntang caught a glimpse of a veiled figure behind the door and smirked sarcastically.

“That’s because the manor used to be controlled by someone who was stealing from it, so it was always poor.”

“Stick with me, and you’ll all make big money in the future.”

Hidden behind the door, Liu Linlang glared with hatred. Watching Ji Yuntang effortlessly earn seven thousand taels, she was so jealous she nearly broke her fingernails.

Seven thousand taels—enough for her and her mother to live lavishly for a year.

That money should have been theirs. Why should that bitch Ji Yuntang get to flaunt it?

Liu Linlang gritted her teeth, wondering if her mother could get her hands on Ji Yuntang’s twenty thousand taels of gold.

She couldn’t stand seeing that bitch strutting around in front of them.

No, she had to go back and discuss this more with her mother.

Ji Yuntang ignored her, acting as if she hadn’t seen Liu Linlang at all. She put the silver notes into her space, where she had a dedicated little treasury. It already held over a dozen chests of gold.

Shiny and golden—a sight for sore eyes.

Then, Ji Yuntang suddenly remembered the clothes she had bought at Fanghua Pavilion. She had only bought for the adults, not for little Xiao Qiyue.

Qiyue was Yaoniang’s daughter, full name Qi Qiyue. Ji Yuntang really liked this obedient and quiet little girl.

She went to the mall, picked out two sets of little girls’ clothes from the baby section, grabbed two packs of diapers and a baby bottle, and then left the space.

Ji Yuntang first handed out the new clothes to Tao Zhi and Chen Hu. The two were instantly moved to tears.

The fabric and craftsmanship were clearly expensive. They couldn’t believe the princess was so generous.

“Princess, I never thought I’d get to wear such nice new clothes someday. You’re so good to me. From now on, I’ll follow your orders even more—whatever you say, I’ll do.”

The burly, 1.9-meter-tall man was almost in tears, acting like a shy bride.

Tao Zhi, too, was red-eyed, holding her new clothes and looking at Ji Yuntang with gratitude.

“Princess, I feel the same. I’ll serve you and the prince well from now on.”

Ji Yuntang smiled. “Don’t be so easily moved, you two. It’s just a new set of clothes. It’s not like I can’t afford it.”

“Look at your old clothes—they’re worn out. Take these back to wash and wear.”
