Shopkeeper Qi was slightly startled when he saw that the person who came in was a middle-aged man, and then he showed a big friendly smile: "Yes, we are Su Yan Fang who sells rouge and powder. I wonder if you want lip rouge, face rouge, or hand rouge?"
The middle-aged man said, "Facial fat."
Shopkeeper Qi quickly took out more than ten kinds of facial creams, and introduced them to him starting with the best ones: "Our facial creams..."
The middle-aged man's attention was all on the facial cream. The moment she was about to open the bottle cap, he immediately said excitedly: "This is the smell, this is the smell, thank God, I finally found it."
Shopkeeper Qi was puzzled: "Master, have you ever used our rouge?"
"I haven't used it, but our master has." The middle-aged man picked up the facial cream and smelled it again and again: "It is definitely this."
Shopkeeper Qi quietly looked at the middle-aged man. The man had a shrill voice, rouge on his face, and liked to lift his fingers like a girl. His expression and behavior were exactly the same as those of the eunuchs in the palace.
She understood in her heart that the man in front of her should be the eunuch in the palace, and the master he was talking about was the concubine in the palace. It must be that Miss Mu brought the rouge from the store into the palace for the concubines to use, and the concubines thought it was useful so they sent the eunuch to purchase it. No wonder Miss Mu was so calm, it turned out that she had already expected that the concubines in the palace would come to buy their rouge.
Shopkeeper Qi asked with a smile, "I wonder if your master is satisfied with our rouge?"
"Satisfied, quite satisfied." To make sure he didn't buy the wrong item, the middle-aged man asked again, "Is this Master Mu Nan Jin Mu's shop?"
"Yes, it is the shop opened by our Miss Mu. She has to handle official business on weekdays and only comes to the shop in her free time."
The middle-aged man was completely relieved and pointed at the facial cream on the table and asked, "How much are these facial creams?"
Shopkeeper Qi first introduced him to the most expensive facial cream: "Miss Mu named the facial cream in my hand Shengyan. Both the bottle and the rouge have the best effects. It can not only be used for makeup, but also has the effect of skin care and beauty. Long-term use can make the skin of those who wear rouge as smooth and white as a little girl."
The middle-aged man had seen the effects of rouge used by ladies, so he knew that Shopkeeper Qi was not lying to him: "Just tell me the price."
"One hundred taels of gold."
After Shopkeeper Qi told the price, he felt nervous, worried that the other party would think it was too expensive and leave.
After all, even she, the seller, felt that the price set by Mu Nanjin was too high, and that only very wealthy people could afford it.
"One hundred taels of gold?"
The middle-aged man raised his voice slightly, a small bottle of rouge is actually so expensive.
The best rouge in Yanxiang Pavilion costs only one hundred taels of silver, while that in Suyanfang costs ten times that.
However, the effect of Suyanfang rouge is indeed very good.
Although the rouge from Yanxiang Pavilion is much cheaper, it will not make the ladies younger. Moreover, compared with the Yuyan Dan worth ten thousand taels of gold, it is much cheaper. The ladies will definitely be willing to spend one hundred taels of gold to buy the rouge.
Shopkeeper Qi said with a stiff upper lip: "Yes."
Miss Mu had instructed that customers were not allowed to bargain.
The middle-aged man asked, "How many bottles of Holy Face do you have in total?"
“Now there are only ten bottles left.”
The rest of the rouge was taken into the palace by Mu Nanjin and given away.
"Only ten bottles?"
The middle-aged man frowned. There were more than four hundred ladies in the palace, and ten bottles were not enough to share.
Shopkeeper Qi knew from his tone that he wanted more, so he quickly introduced the second and third facial creams to him: "The facial cream next to it is called Holy Cream. Although it cannot be used for makeup, its other effects are the same as the Holy Cream in your hand. It is also cheaper, and it only costs ninety taels of gold."
"Same effect? Are you sure?"
"I guarantee with my daughter's reputation that it is absolutely the same. If it is not the same, you can ask our daughter for an explanation."
After all, he was doing business, and it had just opened, so there was no need to ruin his reputation.
The middle-aged man said, "Please introduce other facial creams to me."
"After the Holy Cream comes the Fairy Face. The Fairy Face can be made up, but the effect of protecting and nourishing the skin is slightly worse. But it only costs eighty taels of gold..."
The middle-aged man was more and more satisfied after hearing the introduction. Although the effect was not as good, the price was still acceptable. After all, not every concubine in the palace was very rich, especially the concubines of low rank. They did not have much monthly salary and rewards. It was already very good to be able to buy a few bottles of dozens of taels of gold facial cream.
The middle-aged man said, "I want all of Shengyan. I want 100 bottles of Shengshuang, 100 bottles of Xianyan, and 10 bottles of the others."
Shopkeeper Qi said happily, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will find a box to pack the facial cream."
She really didn't expect to make thousands of taels of gold from her first business, with only less than 5,000 taels of capital. It was really a profitable business.
If this much facial cream could be sold every day, Suyanfang would never have to worry about making money.
Before the middle-aged man left, Manager Qi introduced him to lip balm, hand balm, and body fat that would soon be on the shelves.
After all, the middle-aged man is a servant and cannot make decisions for his masters. He can only inform the ladies about the lip balm, hand balm and body fat, and then they decide whether to buy them or not.
In the next few days, princesses and county ladies sent people to buy facial cream.
If the facial cream was sold out, their people would rush to buy lipstick and hand cream. In just five days, all kinds of rouge and powder in the store were sold out.
Afterwards, the wives and daughters of officials also sent people to buy rouge and powder.
Unfortunately, all kinds of rouge were still in the production process, so they could only wait patiently for a few days. In the days that followed, the girls and craftsmen in the store worked day and night to produce them.
While Suyanfang was busy making rouge, a strange phenomenon occurred in the palace.
The emperor found that there were suddenly more concubines visiting the imperial garden, and each concubine was dressed up gorgeously and pretended to meet him by chance from time to time. It seemed as if he had returned to the year he ascended the throne. In order to get his attention, the concubines also used various means to attract his attention.
The emperor said to Eunuch Yuan, "Is it because my eyes are blurry, or because I haven't seen the concubines for too long? Why do I feel that they have become younger? Look, their gray hair and wrinkles are gone. Could they have used the same disguise technique as I did when I went to the Five Cities?"
Eunuch Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, you don't know that recently the ladies in the palace have used the rouge from Lord Mu's shop to look younger."
He told the emperor what had happened recently.
"That bad girl didn't even tell me about the good stuff she had, humph."
The emperor looked at his beautiful concubines and his heart was filled with love.
He turned to Eunuch Yuan and said, "It's time to turn over the cards tonight."
Eunuch Yuan smiled and said, "Yes."
[Humph, men are indeed visual animals. Seeing the concubine getting younger, the little dragon man under him is ready to move. ]
When the emperor heard Mu Nanjin's thoughts, all his romantic thoughts disappeared without a trace.
He turned around and saw Princess Xueyu and Mu Nanjin walking towards Yongshou Palace. He was so angry that his teeth itched and said, "I take back what I said just now. I won't turn over the cards tonight."
Eunuch Yuan: “…”
Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket.
