When the store opened, Meng Zhao led the way, and all the shop assistants were full of energy and had big smiles on their faces. As soon as they stood in the shop, they immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.

A woman passing by looked at the shop's sign and couldn't help but wonder, "Meng's Treasure Pavilion? Sells jewelry?"

Meng Zhao quickly explained, "No, madam, our shop sells toiletries, such as scented soap and bath beans, as well as many beauty and skincare products."

"Then why did you choose such a name?"

"Our bodies and skin are our own precious treasures, and we should take good care of them. The products in our shop can all help to cleanse and care for the body. Why don't you come in and have a look, madam?"

A man nearby was also drawn over and asked curiously, "Can we men use it too?"

"Of course! Everyone loves beauty. Judging from your handsome appearance, you must be a well-read and refined gentleman. Why not take a look at our Green Bamboo Soap? If your sleeves are accidentally stained with ink, a wash with this soap will not only restore them to their original condition but also leave a lasting fragrance. When you dip your hand in ink or reach for a book, you will smell the delicate fragrance of green bamboo, as if you were in a quiet bamboo forest. Wouldn't that be even more elegant?"

Meng Zhao's words captivated the man, and he immediately strode into the shop.

After listening to Meng Zhao's introduction, the shop assistants looked at him with great respect. As soon as he entered the shop, they hurriedly began to introduce the shop's products according to what they had been taught during their previous training.

However, the shop didn't have that many customers. There were only five people in the shop, including Meng Zhao, and they had never served customers at the same time.

The things she sells aren't cheap, and they're fresh, unlike braised meat which everyone knows what it is. Even if she hires a lion dance troupe to attract people, she might not make any sales, so she still has to rely on word-of-mouth.

Half an hour after opening, the shop had only sold three bars of soap, six bars of scented soap, and two boxes of bath beans, all of which were relatively inexpensive. None of the more expensive gift sets had been sold.

Around 9 AM, a little girl rushed into the shop and asked, "Do you have osmanthus-scented soap?"

Seeing that Xia was nearby, He quickly went up to her with a smile and said, "Yes, young lady, the osmanthus soap is over here. Please come with me."

The shop had several counters, each with a small sign indicating what items were sold: scented soap and regular soap were on one counter, toothpaste and toothbrushes were on another, and shampoo and conditioner were on yet another.

The best counter in the very center displayed several gift sets.

The person who came was Song Kun's fourth younger sister. She originally wanted to come early in the morning, but her father suddenly did something and called all the women in the family over to talk about a bunch of random things. If she hadn't sneaked out, someone else would have gotten there first.

She picked up the osmanthus-scented soap, smelled it, and her eyes lit up. "That's it! It smells exactly like the one I smelled on my third sister." Then, with a wave of her hand, she decisively said, "Wrap it up!"

After wrapping the osmanthus soap, she began to examine the other soaps on the counter, each with different colors and patterns, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What are these for?"

"These are all soaps you're looking at. This one is jasmine scented, which not only has a lovely floral fragrance but also moisturizes and whitens the skin. This one is rose scented, and it has excellent moisturizing effects, leaving your hands incredibly soft after use..."

Before He Jianxia could finish speaking, her fourth sister interrupted impatiently, "Give me one of everything you've put out."

He Jianxia was slightly taken aback when she heard this. Seeing that the girl was so young, she was about to remind her that these soaps were not cheap. But then she suddenly remembered Meng Zhao's repeated instructions to pay attention to her tone of voice and not make the customer feel uncomfortable.

Then his smile grew even brighter. "Okay, then I'll wrap them up for you. These soaps are made from the condensed dew of fresh flowers. The process is very complicated, but the effect is unparalleled. You'll know once you use them. The soaps you chose cost a total of 425 coins."

The fourth sister nodded nonchalantly. Before leaving home today, she had anticipated that she would be buying things and had already stuffed her purse into her bosom.

When it was time to pay, I noticed a delicate box next to me and couldn't help but wonder, "Why is there soap in here?"

He Jianxia quickly explained, "What you are looking at is our Pearl Jade Dew Gift Box. The soap inside is made with pearl powder and gardenia. It has whitening and spot-removing effects. With regular use, your skin will become whiter and more delicate."

The little girl pouted, "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I'm sorry, young lady, this Pearl Jade Dew Soap is only available in the set and cannot be purchased separately at the moment."

The young girl then asked He Jianxia to introduce the other items in the set to her. Just as she was getting into it, a beautifully decorated carriage slowly pulled up at the door. The curtain was lifted, and a young lady in a light pink dress gracefully stepped down.

Upon entering the shop, he said to the young girl who had just arrived, "Fourth sister, I rode here in a carriage all the way, but I didn't get here before you. Do you think you ran fast, or did you sneak out ahead of time?"

The little girl turned her head and saw it was her older cousin. She affectionately took her arm and made no mention of running away.

"Cousin, take a look at this gift set. This guy said that the products inside can whiten your skin and remove freckles. Don't you always complain that it's hard to cover up these little spots on your face with makeup? Maybe this gift set can get rid of them!"

My cousin's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this. She had always been quite concerned about the freckles on her face, and if this product could remove them, she would be willing to spend all her monthly allowance.

Before opening the store, Meng Zhao gave several employees professional training. At this time, He Jianxia explained in detail the ingredients, effects and usage of each product in the set, and even talked about many beauty and skin care tips.

After she finished her introduction, the two young women exchanged a glance and said almost simultaneously, "Give me one!"

After selling the set, they became curious about other items in the shop. They were tempted by everything introduced, and everything seemed good. They felt they needed everything, so they made a big decision and each person bought several sets plus individual items.

When they paid, the two of them paid a total of sixteen taels of silver, which, after deducting costs, was already higher than the daily profit of Meng Zhao's braised meat shop.
