If you love her, let her use sanitary napkins.

Zhou Ziqiong's words instantly swept through Ruzhou City.

It should be noted that only a few hundred people witnessed the sanitary napkins firsthand at the Da'an Newspaper Office. However, after these few hundred people left the Da'an Newspaper Office, the news spread like wildfire, and the news that Zhou's Cloth Workshop had developed a "reinforced cloth bag" that was thin, clean, and had good moisture absorption spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys.

Most importantly, tomorrow morning, the three stores of Zhoujia Cloth Shop will give away 600 sanitary napkins for free. Everyone is spreading the news and eagerly waiting for dawn.

That night, the staff at Zhoujia Cloth Shop were even busier. The counters at the main store and the two stores in Xifang and Beifang were cleared out and filled with sanitary napkins, just waiting for dawn.

...

Just like the opening day of Wenxiangju, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the city walls of Ruzhou, the main store of Zhoujia Cloth Shop was already packed with people. Some clever people got up early and went to the West and North Wards, even though they were a bit far away, because there were fewer people there!

However, when these clever people arrived at the scene, they discovered that the number of people outside the West and North gates was no less than that outside the Zhou Family Cloth Shop's main store, and that the majority of them were men.

After all, compared to men, women are generally less sensitive, and not many women are willing to risk their lives to snatch such a private item.

This conveniently gives men an opportunity; after all, allowing your woman to use sanitary napkins is a clear indication of love…

As soon as Chenshi (7-9 AM) arrived, Zhou's Cloth Shop opened its doors and within fifteen minutes, all six hundred sanitary napkins had been given away. Those who didn't get any free sanitary napkins couldn't help but feel regretful. However, since they had already come all this way, most people didn't want to leave empty-handed. Each sanitary napkin cost thirty coins, which, although not cheap compared to a long robe, was still within their means.

Besides, if these sanitary napkins are really as clean and hygienic as Zhou Ziqiong promised, using them can save money on buying traditional Chinese medicine, which is actually very cost-effective!

That day, Zhou's cloth workshop was extremely busy.

After closing in the evening, the number of sanitary napkins sold by the three stores was tallied up, totaling one thousand pieces!

For Zhoujia Cloth Shop, which produces 3,000 sanitary napkins a day, this number may not seem like much. But don't forget, this is only the first day. Many people are still unaware of this, and many are still observing and have not yet purchased any. Moreover, this is after 600 pieces have been given away in advance!

When the staff at Zhou's Cloth Shop learned of this data, they were also somewhat disappointed—they had prepared for several days, full of confidence, and thought they would be able to sell out completely, but they never expected to sell only a thousand pieces.

Jing Zhe immediately comforted them, saying, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. This is only the first day. As long as the quality of our sanitary napkins is up to standard, we'll sell more and more!"

"..."

Jing Zhe's prediction was correct. After the first day, the reputation of sanitary napkins was established. Not a single woman who used sanitary napkins on the first day had a bad experience with them. Compared to cloth bags, the advantages of sanitary napkins were too obvious, especially since no one had the same itchy feeling after using them, which was the most important thing.

Therefore, when Zhou's Cloth Shop opened its doors the next day, there were many more people crowding in than the day before. Moreover, on the first day of sales, no one knew how effective the sanitary napkins were, and each person would only buy one. But today was different; each person would buy at least five sanitary napkins. After all, a woman's period lasts for six or seven days, so using five to ten sanitary napkins is quite normal.

Thus, the Zhou family's cloth workshop was finally brought back to life.

That evening, the private rooms on the second floor of Wenxiangju were not open to the public. Jing Zhe held a grand banquet there because no celebration banquet was held when Zhangjia Winery, Wenxiangju and Da'an Newspaper successfully opened a few days ago. But today, Zhoujia Cloth Shop was reborn, so Jing Zhe gathered the employees of the four stores together for a celebration banquet.

...

Prince Yu's Mansion.

This morning, the cotton transported from Jinxi arrived at Qujia Cloth Shop, and the shop's staff worked overtime to produce the first batch of cotton-padded clothes, which were delivered to customers who had pre-ordered them in the evening.

In Ruzhou City, people still come to buy cotton-padded clothes, but Master Qu and Prince Yu are not happy because these people are only there to buy cotton-padded clothes.

Zhoujia Cloth Shop brought all the people of Ruzhou back to Zhoujia Cloth Shop by selling sanitary napkins, which led to the recovery of their other businesses. No one came to Qujia Cloth Shop to buy clothes other than cotton-padded clothes anymore.

The cotton-padded coats at Qu Family Cloth Shop were still being sold at a loss, which was a bit of a hardship.

"Sanitary napkins, sanitary napkins..."

At this moment, the Crown Prince of Yu was holding a sanitary napkin that he had his servants buy from the Zhou family's cloth shop, his eyes gleaming, muttering to himself.

"This must have been Jing's idea. Otherwise, the Zhou family's cotton had been piling up in the warehouse for so long, and Zhou Ziqiong never came up with such a method. But as soon as Jing came, they managed to make it!"

"The Crown Prince of Yu said through gritted teeth."

"Yeah, who would have thought that this guy surnamed Jing would be so shameless, even coming up with things like women's menstrual cycles?"

Master Qu cautiously echoed.

"Smack!"

The Crown Prince of Yu immediately slapped him: "If he can figure it out, why can't you? Useless, just useless!"

"..."

Master Qu covered his face. He really wanted to say, "Didn't you figure it out either? Why are you blaming me?" But he only dared to think such words; he was afraid he would be beaten to death if he said them out loud.

However, he couldn't remain silent, as that would be disrespectful to the Crown Prince of Yu. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Highness is right. I am indeed a useless person. I can't even think of something as simple as a sanitary napkin. I am truly useless."

"Smack!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he was slapped again.

"I didn't even come up with the idea of ​​making sanitary napkins. Are you deliberately calling me a good-for-nothing?"

"..."

Master Qu almost cried: "Do you just want to hit me? Fine, I won't say anything then, okay?"

"Clap clap clap!"

Silence did not bring good luck to Master Qu; instead, it brought him three slaps.

"What, does silence mean you agree? You piece of trash, how dare you call me a piece of trash too? I think you have a death wish."

As he spoke, the Crown Prince of Yu raised his foot and kicked Master Qu to the ground. Then, he used both his hands and feet to beat Master Qu until he cried out in pain.

He only stopped hitting me when he got tired.

The entire time, Master Qu just ran away with his head in his hands, not daring to utter another word. He had figured out that the Crown Prince of Yu was holding back a lot of anger, and he would have to vent it.

"Your Highness, are you tired from fighting? Take a rest."

Master Qu got up from the ground and asked with concern.

"..."
