Xu Ying placed two all-female vending machines in the grocery store. Since she already had a grocery store, she decided to add some more things. She ordered two more vending machines. There were the commonly used shampoo and shower gel, and even hair masks and essential oil.
Finally, she returned to the small canteen and added a small automatic tissue machine next to the breakfast machine. She only needed to swipe 5 gold coins each time to spit out a pack of toilet paper.
These five machines, including the purchase of goods, amounted to less than 10,000 gold coins. Perhaps it was because they made more money, but she actually felt that it was not expensive anymore. It even improved the quality of life of the tenants. She could earn an extra 2000 to 3000 coins a day. She was very satisfied.
Moreover, she did not plan to rent any more in the near future. The main reason was that the Vermilion Bird Base was not safe, and it was risky to hire new tenants. She took this opportunity to enjoy herself for a few days.
It was mid-March, and the weather was getting warmer. When the tenants woke up in the morning and saw the new common room, they all went in curiously.
Ge Aiyao had been very busy recently. It was not easy for her to return to Peach Blossom Land for a night, but when she woke up, she found that she was on her period. She hurriedly rummaged through her bag to find something for her period, but she couldn't find anything. Hence, she was extremely anxious. She asked a female tenant and wanted to borrow some tissues.
The female tenant pointed at the grocery store and said, "There are sanitary pads in the new grocery store. Hurry up and buy them. Miss Xu has prepared a lot for our female tenant. The prices are not expensive. If you go last, they will be sold out."
When Ge Aiyao saw the four machines, she was stunned. She hadn't been back for a few days. Where did Xu Ying get these high-end goods from? She didn't even think about it and packed up the remaining sanitary pads.
The female tenant who didn't manage to buy the pads immediately became anxious. "How can you be like this? If you buy everything, what will the people behind us buy? Why? You're not the only one who needs sanitary pads. Other people need them too!"
Ge Aiyao was the only daughter in the family and was used to being domineering. She didn't think that the person behind her would need to use this problem. However, she refused to admit that she was wrong. She straightened her neck and said, "I've already bought them. What do you think?"
The female tenants discussed with each other. "Re-sell us some of your stock, but you can't raise the price, or I'll tell Miss Xu."
Ge Aiyao was speechless.
Xu Ying came out and saw Ge Aiyao squatting in a corner selling sanitary pads. "Did you change your profession to sanitary pads?" she asked with a smile.
Ge Aiyao blushed and said awkwardly, "The machine selling sanitary pads is empty. You should go and restock."
Xu Ying finally understood what had happened and went to the grocery store to buy more stock.
Ge Aiyao followed her in and quickly looted everything inside. She tried to make herself sound justified. "You didn't say that it's limited. I'll buy them all, right?" She said in her head that if there was a problem, she would return them.
Xu Ying was amused by her. "Go ahead. But when will you use so many of them?"
Ge Aiyao: "You don't know how hard it is outside the Peach Blossom Land. My mother hasn't used this thing for many years. We split them up and give them to our sisters. There won't be any left."
Xu Ying nodded, but she thought of a problem. Outside of Peach Blossom Land these products had very limited supply. Would there be tenants who would stock them up viciously and sell them at a high price? If she did not do anything about it, the tenants who did not fight wouldn't be able to buy any but they actually needed to use the product. With that thought in mind, she immediately decided to set up limits for all four machines in the grocery store so that each person could only purchase one item per month.
Most people expressed their understanding of her actions. However, the middle-aged woman Mei Luoyan, who did not listen to her advice and insisted on going out, said, "Oh, Miss Xu is afraid that we'll go out and sell them."
Xu Ying replied with an expressionless face, "Yes, you don't have to be sarcastic with me. If you don't feel happy, you don't have to renew the lease next month. I'm sure many people want to stay in your room."
Her impression of Mei Luoyan was getting worse and worse. The older she got, the weirder her personality became. Last time, she didn't listen to her advice and insisted on going out. She was lucky that nothing happened. Now, she was being sarcastic again. Moreover, this was not the first time. Xu Ying was a little annoyed when she saw her.
Mei Luoyan did not dare to reply, but she grumbled in her heart. This little girl was so petty. Even acting as a landlord she had no conscience.
The other tenants did not like Mei Luoyan either. She was narrow-minded, liked to take advantage of others, and her words were not pleasant to hear. Everyone spoke up for Xu Ying.
Mei Luoyan closed the door angrily and went back into the house.
