Green bricks and dark tiles, flowers bloom by the path, their fragrance dyeing her clothes; vermilion gates and purple palaces, bare hands pluck stars, neon lights adorn her gown.
Chapter 78 The higher the price, the better the sales
There is no snow and no wind today, which is a rare good weather in winter.
Qin Chuan specially hosted a banquet for his subordinates in his mansion.
Many generals under Qin Chuan and their families came to the banquet.
Qin Chuan entertained the men in the front yard.
Mrs. Qin entertained the female family members in the backyard.
The ladies were surprised to find that Mrs. Qin had changed. She looked much younger and her skin was glowing.
The change was so great that I almost couldn't recognize it.
"Mrs. Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look younger and more beautiful now."
"Thank you, thank you for the compliment." Women all love beauty. Mrs. Qin has been using moisturizer for so many days. She originally wanted to make a splash at the banquet, and now she has indeed achieved it.
The joy in my heart cannot be expressed in words.
I just felt like everything was a dream.
It took me decades of living to realize that there is such a magical moisturizer in the world.
The thing I fear most every day now is not being able to buy moisturizer.
"I heard that the relationship between Marshal Qin and his wife has been getting better recently. So this is the reason."
"What good skin care products does Madam Qin use? Recommend some to us so we can use them too."
The ladies all played the emotional card, crying and lamenting that they were getting old and their love was taken away by their concubines.
This resonated with Mrs. Qin.
In the past, when Qin Chuan was obsessed with his concubine and had completely forgotten about her, she often cried alone with sadness.
I never want to experience this miserable feeling again.
Mrs. Qin picked the two ladies with whom she had the best relationship and quietly told them about the moisturizer.
These two ladies also had their own small circle and passed the secret to a few more people.
Lin Qianqian was also an invited guest.
Qin Chuan didn't give her any chance to contact other generals and directly had someone bring her to the backyard.
She listened to the secret conversations among the people and knew that they were all talking about the moisturizer she was selling.
It looks like this is going to be a big seller.
I had originally planned to send a bottle to Madam Qin today to earn money from Qin Chuan and his subordinates, but it seems that this is no longer necessary.
The word spread from one female member to another, and eventually it became very widespread. Many people knew that there was a shop in Beiyue City that sold a magical moisturizer.
So all the ladies rushed to buy the moisturizer.
Lin Qianqian came to the gouache shop and looked at the bills for the past few days.
The female shopkeeper she hired was a very good business person. She could find out the background of the customers by just chatting with them when selling things.
The VIP handbook contains the guest’s general background.
The daughter of the Lin family in the capital spent 1,500 taels of silver.
Lin Qianqian had just gone to the Silver Moon Inn to take inventory and was very clear that the daughter of the Lin family was none other than Lin Baozhu.
It would be great to take this opportunity to make more money from Lin Baozhu.
It would be best if we could make the Lin family bankrupt.
Lin Qianqian looked at the information of other customers again, and found that most of them were Mrs. Qin Chuan and the wives of Qin Chuan's subordinates.
very good!
Qin Chuan and his generals have monopolized Beiyue Pass in recent years and embezzled huge amounts of silver. This is a good opportunity to make these people return the embezzled money.
"Shopkeeper Mu, starting today, the price of the moisturizer will be raised to 150 taels. I just said that the previous selling price was a promotional price, and now it is the original price."
Lin Qianqian needs money everywhere now. Many people in Beiyue City live in dilapidated houses. It would be terrible if the houses collapsed due to heavy snow. Many people would die.
Many of the residents in Beiyue City are military households.
Lin Qianqian is now a thousand-householder appointed by the imperial court, and is responsible for protecting the military households under her.
The house must be repaired in advance.
But this requires money.
The money that Qin Chuan and his subordinates embezzled was used to give back to the people, which was equivalent to taking from the people and giving back to the people, which was reasonable and logical.
"Yes, Boss."
The shopkeeper is not afraid of price increases.
The price increased from 50 taels to 100 taels, and business not only did not get worse, but got better.
Many people are worried that the price will go up again, so they buy 10 or 20 bottles to stock up.
Lin Qianqian praised the female shopkeeper, "You have done a good job. You have kept the accounts in the shop very well, kept the shop clean and tidy, and remembered the VIP registration manual in detail. After the year-end account review, I will definitely give you dividends."
"Thank you, boss." The female shopkeeper was very happy. The boss was quite generous. The bosses in Beiyue City rarely gave dividends to the shopkeepers.
Moreover, she really likes running this shop. It is so easy to work in this shop. There is no need to bother selling things. Everyone rushes to buy things when they come.
The shop provided cakes and scented tea for entertaining distinguished guests, and the owner let the employees eat and drink for free.
The weather is cold now, so in addition to paying wages, the employer also gives everyone an extra sum of heating money.
It's really hard to find a good boss even with a lantern.
I guess you won’t find such good treatment even in Beijing.
The day after the price increase, the moisturizer was sold out.
Women's pursuit of beauty is regardless of the cost.
The moisturizer has become famous, so it’s hard not to sell it.
And the more the price went up, the more panicked they became, fearing that the price would go up even higher in the future. After all, it had only been a few days, and the price had risen from 50 taels to 150 taels.
What’s more, they are afraid that the goods will be sold out. They are not afraid of being expensive, but what they fear most is not being able to buy them.
Xiaoju went to buy a moisturizer and found out that in just a few days, the price had increased from 50 taels to 100 taels, and then from 100 taels to 150 taels.
She was so angry that she returned to the inn empty-handed.
"Miss, that shop is simply a cannibalistic shop. We haven't bought any for just a few days, and they've already raised the price of the lotion to 150 taels. How is this different from robbery?"
Xiaoju thought that her young lady would be as angry as she was and denounce the shop's disgusting appearance.
But he didn't expect that his young lady would actually laugh.
"Fortunately, I, your lady, was wise. I bought 20 bottles of 50 liang earlier. Now there are still 6 bottles of 50 liang left in the house." I feel like I have made a big profit.
"Hurry up and borrow another three thousand taels from Mr. Luo to buy 20 bottles. The price might go up again in a few days. When you get back, send one bottle to my mother. I've been in Beiyue City for so long, it's time to write a letter to her."
Xiaoju, who used to stop me from buying moisturizer every time, finally took the initiative this time.
"Miss, you're right. The earlier you buy, the more money you save."
The news of Beiyue City's 150-tael-silver moisturizer even reached the capital.
Because of the long journey, the price doubled to three hundred taels of silver per jar.
Mrs. Wang from the Lin family received a letter from her daughter sent from Beiyue Pass, along with a jar of moisturizer.
She didn't care much about the moisturizer. She was just anxious to read the contents of the letter to see if her daughter had been wronged in Beiyue Pass.
This reading made her very angry.
This prodigal girl actually borrowed 5,000 taels of silver from the wealthy Luo family and used it all to buy moisturizer.
The moisturizer was the little thing my daughter sent me, which was the small jar in front of me that was less than the size of a palm.
This small jar is very delicately made, and it must be the beautiful packaging that attracts girls who love beauty.
