Chapter 205: Shopkeeper Yun personally takes action and he must get these two things
"Manager Liu, you're being too formal." Chen Xingyun said calmly, "Our family has been cooperating with Ruyi Restaurant for so long, isn't this a friendship worth a few bars of soap?"
"A bar of ordinary soap like this only costs 20 wen, and the best is only 100 wen. Although soap is more expensive, it's still not as much as a guest would spend on a meal at Ruyi Restaurant."
"Since Ruyi Restaurant needs it, I should give it to them. In fact, I should have taken the initiative to deliver it to their door."
As she spoke, she put seven or eight bars of soap into the bag and stuffed it into the bag without saying anything, as if she didn't want to be refused.
"This, this is really..."
Manager Liu was both happy and helpless, thinking that this Miss Xingyun was really a good person. No wonder Madam Xiao dared to let her manage this shop.
"Since the lady has said so much, if I don't accept it, it will be alienating."
The other party said that it was a gift to Ruyi Restaurant, not to him personally, so there was nothing wrong with accepting it.
"That's right." Chen Xingyun smiled brightly and winked cunningly: "I'm also promoting myself. If Ruyi Restaurant finds it useful, I hope you will come to my restaurant to take care of my business in the future."
"That's for sure."
Manager Liu patted his chest and agreed immediately.
Given the relationship between Ruyi Restaurant and Madam Xiao, they have to take care of the business.
Nowadays, grease stains in the kitchen are cleaned with soapnut powder. If soap is really that easy to use, replacing it would only cost a few cents more.
Chen Xingyun personally sent him out the door with satisfaction, staring at his back with a raised corner of his lips. Now all he had to do was wait for the reaction of the shopkeeper Yun.
Given Manager Yun’s cleverness, he shouldn’t miss this business opportunity.
When Manager Liu returned to Ruyi Restaurant, it was already past lunch time and there were not many guests in the lobby.
He did not send the soap and perfumed soap directly to the kitchen, but to the room where Manager Yun was. He thought the manager would be interested in this.
Sure enough, when he heard that the store was opened by Mrs. Xiao's family and that Chen Xingyun was in charge of opening it today, Manager Yun immediately became interested.
"Tell me the details of these soaps and perfumes."
Shopkeeper Yun couldn't wait to check and found that Chen Xingyun had given him a total of eight kinds, which were quite diverse.
It is simply wrapped with a piece of oil paper, and the best packaging box is actually carved from pear wood.
He couldn't help but take a breath. Madam Xiao was really generous this time!
Apart from anything else, this box alone is worth at least a hundred coins.
"What are the prices of these?" he asked Manager Liu.
Manager Liu broke out in a sweat. He didn't ask any questions at that time. After Chen Xingyun gave him the things, he left.
“There seems to be a huge price difference.”
He tried hard to recall, and finally remembered that Chen Xingyun seemed to have mentioned it.
"By the way, Miss Xingyun said the cheapest one is only 20 cents, and the most expensive one is less than the price of a meal in our restaurant."
After hearing what he said, Shopkeeper Yun knew that he had never understood the price at all, and he couldn't help but glared at him.
"You're also an old employee of Ruyi Restaurant, why are you so careless in your work? Can't you see the value of this thing?"
Manager Liu was suddenly stunned, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he secretly regretted it.
"Boss, I'm confused. I'll go and find out more about it!"
He had previously thought that Ruyi Restaurant sold food, which was not the same as soap and perfumed soap, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that I think about it, the owner behind this restaurant didn’t just open the Ruyi Restaurant; he could also sell good and novel things like soap and perfumed soap.
If he really catches the boss's eye, he will have made a great contribution!
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. Why didn't he think about it more at the beginning?
"Forget it, let's see if this thing works."
Shopkeeper Yun waved his hand, saying that there was no need to rush to know these things. Chen Xingyun's shop had just opened today, and it would seem too hasty to come to his door at this time.
So he called the people in the kitchen to try it out themselves, and several guys who were responsible for washing dishes each picked up a piece of soap to wash the rag.
No one cared much about it at first, but after washing, everyone was surprised.
This thing is really useful!
It is better than soapnut powder in removing oil and dirt, and you only need to apply a little bit each time. It looks like one piece can last a long time!
Where did the shopkeeper get this useful stuff? Can we replace all the soapnut powder in the kitchen with this in the future?
Shopkeeper Yun and Manager Liu were also very happy, especially Shopkeeper Yun, whose eyes were shining. This thing was better than he had imagined, and he had already begun to think about how much benefit it could bring to him.
What Madam Xiao makes is wonderful!
A spicy sesame oil and a soap, both of which have never existed before. What's wrong with this person's brain?
If I can make another contribution this time, won't my boss pay more attention to me in the future?
He seemed to have already seen the scene of himself becoming the boss's confidant, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to his ears.
"But soap is so cheap, I'm afraid we won't make much money."
Manager Liu saw what he was thinking at a glance and reminded him in a low voice.
"Well, the real money is probably in the soap."
Shopkeeper Yun came back to his senses and looked thoughtfully at the pearwood box for a moment.
"Such a piece would cost at least one or two taels of silver, right?"
This is a box made of pear wood, and it is obviously aimed at rich people.
The patterns and styles of the soaps are also beautiful, and they are dyed in different colors according to different scents, which shows the ingenuity of the design.
"This should be intended to replace bath beans. At least from the appearance, it is much better than bath beans."
It is bigger and better looking than bath beans, and its price is more advantageous than bath beans.
But if it is sold to places like the provincial capital or the capital where there are many rich people, the price can be raised further.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He had to get these two things!
As for whether purchasing without the boss's consent would displease the boss, he was not worried about that.
These shop owners all have a certain degree of autonomy, and this was the case when they purchased the spicy sesame oil.
Before the spicy sesame oil, he had also bought some recipes. He made money on some of them and lost money on some of them, but as long as the loss was within a certain amount, he would not be held accountable by the higher-ups.
Another reason why he made the decision so quickly this time was because of Madam Xiao. He always felt that cooperating with Madam Xiao would be the right thing to do.
That night, Shopkeeper Yun personally used the soap to wash his face and take a bath, and then he found that this thing was no less effective than bath beans, and he became more determined to buy it.
The next morning, he took Manager Liu to Yingfengxiangfang, hoping that no one else had gotten there first.
I didn't expect that someone would get there first. There were actually two businessmen discussing cooperation with Chen Xingyun.
A businessman wanted to take the goods to sell elsewhere, but Chen Xingyun said that there was not much stock and only gave him 50 yuan for each item.
Another businessman wanted to buy the formula directly, but was rejected by Chen Xingyun. The man seemed a little unconvinced and was about to threaten when Manager Yun arrived.
"Oh, who was it I thought? Turns out it's Fatty Qian who sells bath beans."
Shopkeeper Yun recognized the fat man who threatened Chen Xingyun at a glance. He was the only one selling bath beans in the city, and he immediately understood the other party's purpose.
"Why? Are you afraid of losing your business, so you come here to cause trouble?"
He said sarcastically with a playful look on his face.
Humph, you want to steal his business, but you don’t even take a piss to see if you are worthy enough!
