When Shopkeeper Xue heard Su Yu calling him "Master", the smile on his face never faded. When he heard that he would be envied for using this thing, he was immediately tempted.
"Shopkeeper Su, how do you sell this?"
Su Yu rolled her eyes and asked, "Master, you have used fragrant soap before, right?"
Shopkeeper Xue nodded and said that he had indeed used it since his family became rich.
Su Yu said disdainfully, "Everyone says that fragrant soap is good, but it's really not as good as our bath soap. A piece of our bath soap costs 500 coins. If a person bathes once every ten days or so, it can be used for half a year! And the effect is much better than fragrant soap. You can buy a piece and try it. If it doesn't work for you, you can return it to me at any time."
"Hey! Shopkeeper Su, you are kidding!" Shopkeeper Qiu asked quickly.
Su Yu nodded seriously, "Everyone is here, can I still coax you?"
Just at this moment, several yamen runners walked in, and Su Yu hurried over to greet them.
Captain Li said politely, "I heard that the shop opened today, so we came to take a look and buy some things. Is there anything we can use?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Everyone follow me." Su Yu introduced the things again.
Several yamen runners bought the same thing without hesitation.
Shopkeeper Xue and the others were all stunned and couldn't help asking, "Captain Li, are you going to use up all the things you bought?"
This trip, each person spent at least three taels of silver. That's three taels of silver! When did the yamen runners become so rich?
Captain Li sneered, "I'm not the only one using it! My parents, my wife, and my children at home don't need it? We earn money to support our families, not just for our own comfort!"
In fact, they can make a lot of money every year when they follow Shen Yi to the ice field. Last year, they escorted the eldest lady and the eldest son, and everyone earned about five taels of silver on this trip. This year is even more amazing. The thank-you silver given by Mrs. Shen alone is five taels, and there are also seafood compensated to them later, which are all large goods and much more valuable than the dried fish they bought.
The family members couldn't bear to eat them, so they sold them all and earned another twenty or thirty taels.
In order to return the favor, they would naturally be more generous.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xue and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them became more thoughtful and immediately followed Captain Li's example and bought a set of all the items.
When someone takes the lead, others will follow.
When Shopkeeper Qiu saw that Shopkeeper Xue had also bought one, he had no choice but to spend some money and buy one as a token of his respect.
After leaving Qingfengzhai, Manager Qiu immediately went to Manager Xue’s cloth shop.
"Didn't you just want to buy some bath soap? Why did you suddenly buy so much?"
Shopkeeper Xue looked outside and said in a low voice, "Are you stupid? Didn't you see that the yamen runners are here to show their support? The owner of this shop must be extraordinary. We live next door to them, so we have to find a way to make friends with them. Maybe we'll need their help in the future. Shopkeeper Su also said that if it doesn't work, we can return it at any time. It's better to buy more at one time. If we are stingy, it will show that we don't trust them!"
Shopkeeper Qiu had never thought that far ahead, and after hearing what Shopkeeper Xue said, he couldn't help but regret it.
Just as the two were whispering, a carriage stopped outside the shop next door, and it looked like it was not an ordinary carriage.
After Tang entered the shop, he looked around and could not help nodding, "It is really different! It is not like a shop in a small place like ours."
Pu Shan chuckled and said, "Madam is right. This is the first time I have seen so many rare things. This floor tile is as beautiful as a painting! You are not afraid of stepping on it."
Shen Yuezhang, who was hiding in the accounting office, heard the voice and came out to greet them, "Mrs. Lu."
"Oh! Our young master is here too! Auntie is here to support you, bring me any goodies you have! It will also help me broaden my horizons."
The cattail leaf fan comes with an exquisite gift box.
Su Yu hurriedly took it.
Tang looked at her, "The shopkeeper seems familiar."
Su Yu gave Tang a blessing, "The county magistrate's wife has a good memory. I used to serve the eldest lady of the Bai family and had the honor of meeting the lady several times."
Shen Yuezhang hurriedly introduced: "Auntie, this is my aunt."
Tang understood, and smiled kindly at Su Yu, "Please bring all the goodies in your shop, Shopkeeper Su. I will not be lenient today!"
"Yes!" Alan and the other two behind Su Yu immediately took action.
Tang looked at Alan and the others and asked casually, "Is this the servant you bought from Qiongzi?"
Shen Yuezhang nodded, "They were all picked by mother herself."
"Your mother's vision is definitely right!" Tang praised Su Tai very naturally.
When I saw the bath soaps and shampoos, I was immediately attracted.
Following Shen Yuezhang's introduction, Tang bought a set of various styles.
She paid the silver readily, but Shen Yuezhang gave her two more sets. "This is for Sister Lu Xiang."
Tang originally wanted to decline, but when she heard that it was a gift from a young girl, she said nothing and her opinion of Shen Yuezhang became much higher.
Many people in the county knew Tang. When they saw Tang coming to Qingfengzhai in person to show his support, many women were attracted by the news.
The shop closed before dark.
Su Yu couldn't wait to carry a box of silver to reconcile the accounts with Shen Yuezhang.
Alan, Chunxing and Chuncao were watching them do the accounting and learning as they went along.
"Today, 68 bottles of women's facial cleanser were sold, 92 bottles of shampoo were sold, 45 bottles of men's facial cleanser were sold, 120 bottles of shampoo were sold, goat milk soap was sold for 35 yuan, mint soap was sold for 22 yuan, flower soap was sold for 56 yuan, and fruit soap was sold for 25 yuan."
While Shen Yuezhang was counting, Su Yu kept turning the abacus and said, "The total should be two hundred and sixty-five taels and four hundred coins. Please calculate whether the amount of silver is correct."
It was the first time for Alan and the other two to see so much silver. They felt dizzy, but more than that, they were excited.
Su Yu smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. Watch carefully and learn well. In the future, when you have too much money in your hands, you won't feel anything!"
"Yes!" the three of them responded with full energy.
It took most of the day just to do the accounting, and they also had to cook, eat and study. Even so, Alan and the other two didn't feel tired. Instead, they were full of energy, as if they had hope in the future.
Five days later, Su Tai came to inspect the shop again and found that everything was in order. Business was not very good, but there were always customers coming, so it was still okay.
She was about to talk to Su Yu when she heard the sound of horse hooves and looked over.
Zhu Yixuan rode his horse galloping through the streets. Fortunately, the people heard the noise in advance and avoided it, so no trouble was caused.
Su Tai ran outside the shop and just in time saw a carriage approaching, raising a cloud of dust.
When the patrolling officers arrived, Zhu Yixuan and his group had already left.
"Why is it him!"
Su Tai and Su Yu said in unison.
The two sisters looked at each other.
Su Tai was the first to speak, "Cousin, I'll leave the shop to you. I'll go to the city first."
Su Yu nodded and said, "Just go ahead and do your work. You don't have to worry about the things here."
Su Tai hurriedly boarded the carriage and ordered Yu Dong to enter the city quickly. (End of this chapter)
