Liu Yuhan transmigrated in an instant, finding herself in a destitute family in an era plagued by scarcity of food. See how Liu Yuhan stays true to her original aspirations and thrives in ancient t...
"We're opening today, and we're offering a 10% discount on both soap and toilet soap. Soap is 30 wen a piece, but it's 27 wen today. Toilet soap is 200 wen a piece, but it's 180 wen today. We have four different soap colors. The discount is only for today. Quantities are limited, so if you're interested, come in and take a look. If you don't need any right now, you can come in and take a look."
Baizhi and the other three were all dressed neatly and stood at the door, welcoming guests with smiles.
As soon as the first one came in, the second and third followed. Everyone thought the soap was too expensive, but I managed to sell quite a few of them despite some effort.
"The portraits in this shop are really festive. Look at how well that boy painted them."
"The woman's expression as she looks at the child is so touching."
The two women looked at the portrait and commented in whispers.
Several young men dressed as scholars came in and looked up when they heard the words.
“Oh my God, oh my God, this painting and this poem!”
"Oh my god, these poems can be enshrined as gods, right?"
"Wow, that's amazing! I need to describe it, no, I need to memorize it first. 'When you've reached the end of your rope and there's no way out, there's always another village to be found.' This will surely become a famous line for all eternity!"
"There's also this saying, 'Who says a little bit of grass can repay the kindness of three springs?'"
"I want it too! Don't push me, don't push me..."
"If I hadn't seen the fragrance and brought you in, you wouldn't have been able to see such a masterpiece. Get out of the way, I'll go first!"
"This painting is still the best. What a peaceful pastoral scene."
“The colors of this painting are so special.”
"Which famous artist painted this? I've never seen such a painting style before."
People who came into the shop also looked at the paintings and marveled at their simplicity, yet vividness.
Uh, Liu Yuhan held his forehead.
"The handwriting on the soap packaging must be from the same person who drew the painting. Look at the words written on the paper. They are somewhat similar to the words in the painting."
"Indeed. The handwriting is so elegant and clean. It must be the work of a master."
"The calligraphy on the portrait is absolutely amazing, round and powerful. What kind of font is this? Can anyone tell me?"
"I want to buy this soap. Can you lend me some money first?"
"I want to buy some too, but I don't have any money to lend you."
"Stop arguing, I have some silver here. Don't make noise and disturb me." A richly dressed young man put a piece of silver, about five taels, on the counter.
"Give me one of each color, and ask them for the rest."
"Okay, sir. I'll pack it for you right away. Since you're our first customer, you can get a 10% discount. I can even pack it for you in a gift basket."
"No need for a discount. Wouldn't it be an insult to these paintings? These words are priceless."
"Well, that's fine, sir. We'll pack it up for you in a beautiful bamboo basket and you can give it to someone else as a gift."
"Give it to others? Yes, yes, give me 5 pieces of each color. Divide them into 5 baskets, I will give them to others." As he said this, he took out a slightly larger piece of silver.
"I want one too. I want one too. Give me one bar of each color soap. Take two bars of soap and put it on his account first."
"I'm short of money, so I took a bar of soap and yellow soap."
"I want a blue one. It says 'the disciple surpasses the master'. It has a very good meaning."
"Then I want a white one, very clear and smooth, to give to my wife."
"I want a piece of pink, like a peach blossom, to give to my fiancée."
"Hey, you guys, make way after you finish your shopping. I need to buy some for my wife and concubine. Give me 6 pieces of each color, no, 10 pieces of each color, and put them in a gift basket for me. No need for discounts, this is exactly eight taels of silver."
A middle-aged customer with a big belly and the appearance of a wealthy businessman came over and directly took out a small silver ingot and placed it on the counter.
"Okay, Mr. Li, please wait a moment." Wuyou said to the wealthy businessman.
"Hey, isn't this the famous song from Chunxiang Pavilion in the prefectural city? Why don't you sing anymore?"
"Boss Li, my boss has redeemed me and I'm working here now."
"What a pity for your good voice."
"Boss Li, this is your soap. Please come and patronize us more often in the future."
"Which master created the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall? I want to find this master to help me paint a few pictures."
"Well, sorry, Boss Li, I can't tell you."
"Then next time I come, tell the master that the price is negotiable. Just help me draw a few pictures and write a few poems."
"Okay, Mr. Li, take care. I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth."
Boss Li walked slowly behind several servants carrying bamboo baskets.
This is the fastest and largest business transaction in their store.
Liu Yuhan was a little confused.
She was selling soap. These ancient poems were also written down casually when they were deeply imprinted in her mind during her school days. I had never expected the ancients to be so good at calligraphy and poetry. They caused such a sensation and boosted the store's business.
