Chapter 89: Novel Zipper Clothes

"Find some time and go to the shop first." Li Heng ordered.

If the stuff arrived, he would still need to find a way to transport it and hand it over to a trustworthy general.

When Miss Shen comes back, the shop may not be open, so he needs to confirm it first so that he can make arrangements.

"Yes." Liu Zheng replied.

After receiving the order, he immediately left the house, got on the carriage, and headed to Qingshi Lane as soon as possible.

Chen You had just received her second batch of goods, five thousand down liners, one thousand of which were the ones she wanted, made of better quality fabric and filled with the best down.

Used by border guards, all in dirt-resistant black, button-down style.

The colors of the products she sells need to be richer. Fortunately, the warehouse management has been upgraded, otherwise with so many things coming in at once, she doesn’t know how long it would take her to count them by herself.

Currently, there are 6,000 down liners, 4,000 sleeping bags, and 8,000 thermal underwear sets in the warehouse.

In addition, they sent over a dozen extra items, so that any defective items can be replaced.

High quality down liner one thousand pieces.

Another truck came in the evening.

There was a crisis in the warehouse, fortunately Liu Zheng arrived in time.

Chen You had just closed the door of Xianshiduan shop and opened the door of Daqi shop when Liu Zheng and Zhong Jing came in.

"Manager Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are well." Liu Zheng bowed with a smile on his face.

Chen You smiled and nodded, and took them to see the goods temporarily stored in the garage.

"Some of the things you requested have already arrived, and the rest is expected to be ready within seven days."

"Great! I received a message the day before yesterday saying that it has snowed at the border and that we are in urgent need of cold-weather supplies."

Zhong Jing looked at the things in front of him, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked pleased.

Shopkeeper Shen said there were still several thousand pieces inside, and the shop didn’t look like it had that much space from the outside.

But they were used to it, so they wouldn't doubt what Manager Shen said.

"Your Highness will bring the balance in person later." Liu Zheng added.

Chen You nodded. As long as the things were paid for, it didn’t matter who brought them.

"The warehouse has limited capacity. You'd better take away a batch of goods within two days. Then I can receive the goods that arrive later."

"Okay, I will report to His Highness later and arrange it as soon as possible." Liu Zheng agreed.

After talking about the prince's order, the next thing to do was to discuss the two of them working together to open a shop.

"Shopkeeper Shen said before that the stock was sufficient, and I figured the previous shop would not be enough, so I bought another one, selling goods for the rich on one side and ordinary goods on the other."

The shops on the streets of the capital were not much cheaper, so he had to form a partnership with Shopkeeper Shen and sell the goods so that he could afford to buy them.

Liu Zheng explained the basic situation of the two shops. The one that did business for ordinary people was smaller and the decoration inside was worse.

But on the same road.

Seeing Liu Zheng hesitate to speak, Chen You said, "If you have any other questions, you can just ask."

"This down jacket has different prices in the two shops, but the styles are not that different."

I see. You are worried that the difference between cheap and expensive is not obvious.

Chen You turned around and took out a few pieces for comparison. They were different from what she had bought online last time.

The last time she bought clothes for samples, all of them were button styles.

This time, considering that zippers could not be repaired or replaced if they were broken in ancient times, and the zipper design in ancient times could definitely be said to be rare and exquisite.

It is more suitable for people who are not short of money.

"Look at the difference between these pieces." Chen You turned out the zipper.

"How do you tie this thing on?"

Liu Zheng and the other man looked at them in a daze; they had never seen such clothes before.

"Easy." Chen You demonstrated how to use the zipper.

Liu Zheng was pleasantly surprised, "This one is better than the last one!"

Chen You was silent for a few seconds. In fact, the brand button model that he gave them to try last time was more expensive.

"Expensive down jackets also have button styles." Chen You said and took out another one.

The color is light purple, which was quite rare in ancient times and ordinary people could not wear it.

There were a total of 3,000 expensive down jackets, and she only ordered 500 zipper models, while the rest were mainly button models.

Chen You explained: "The fabric is different, the shape and warmth retention are better, you will understand after trying it."

"Also, these pieces were specially selected by me and filled with the best materials. These sets of warm clothes are also made of cashmere. You can send them to the palace."

The styles of the clothes I wore inside were all similar, so I couldn't come up with any new ideas, so I had to choose the materials.

If it is presented to the emperor, it must be unique and better than what anyone can buy outside.

Liu Zheng nodded, "Shopkeeper Shen is still very thoughtful."

They only dared to wear the warm clothes they got last time secretly and didn't tell anyone about it.

They put on these good things that were not available in the palace. It would be terrible if they were discovered.

Now, I can sell them outside, and when the time comes, I can present a few good pieces to the palace and wear them openly.

"This thousand taels is the income from the previous batch of facial cleansers and goose egg powder."

Liu Zheng took out the wooden box, opened it, and showed the silver inside. "A lot of people are asking about goose egg powder and vanishing cream. When will new stock be available?"

Snow cream is not only used by women, but also by the children of wealthy families. It is said to be easy to use and can be used not only on the face but also on the hands. Its faint fragrance is very popular.

Da Qi also has ointment, but the scent is not as long-lasting and pleasant, and it does not have that moisturizing texture.

This thing has become a fashion item in Beijing. Who wants a box?

You have to carry it with you at all times, and let everyone know in a few words that you have got the vanishing cream.

There are also goose egg powder, facial cleanser and moisturizing water. Those were sent to the palace. I heard that the empress who received them must use them every day.

The two items were given as rewards to the palace, and the princess was very happy with them.

With the endorsement of these prominent people, the reputation of Western skin care products spread quickly.

His mother has invited him to two banquets and asked him both times that as long as they can buy it, they are willing to pay more.

Liu Zheng has a title, but his official position is an idle one. Everyone in the capital knows that the Liu family is poor. He met merchants from the Western Regions when he went to Yunzhou, and only now has he run his shop.

From some perspectives, it’s not entirely fake news.

He knew that being too eye-catching was not a good thing, so he tried the skin care products that Shopkeeper Shen had tried last time.

He also asked someone to pretend to be a merchant and gave part of the money to the largest rouge shop in the capital.

They had originally wanted to find a way to purchase goods from the Western Regions, so they bought them happily.

It even started selling one day earlier than Liu’s shop.

Giving up a little bit of profit from his own dividends was a good deal for Liu Zheng, as he was spending little money to accomplish great things!

"It will take about six or seven days." Chen You thought for a moment and replied, "Goose egg powder is also very popular in our place, so we may not have much stock."

A box of goose egg powder can be used for several years, and it is not cheap, costing more than two hundred yuan, so the price she sold it to Da Qi was also high.

The items are all from traditional old brands, and the original packaging itself is ancient in style and does not need to be modified.

Only the facial cleanser should be changed to a glass jar.

Shen You took the phone into the official store, which was now in stock, “I’ll try to prepare more.”

But not too much, because if there are too many things, they will become worthless.
