Chapter 276 Snob
Hearing these words, Shen Yueyao's expression changed. Thinking of Yang Yanran and Wen Moshu, she felt a little moved.
Soon, Shen Yueyao calmed down a little.
Shen Yueyao looked at the items in the store and found that the rouge and powder shops in the capital city were indeed much better than those in the town or county.
She opened one of the boxes and found that both the packaging and the texture were very good.
One of the shop assistants saw Shen Yueyao open a box, look at it, put it down, and was about to look at another one. She hurriedly said, "Young lady, if you can't afford it, don't mess around."
"The things in our store are very expensive. It's not something a little girl like you can touch casually."
"If you don't want to buy anything, don't even bother visiting our store. Our rouge and powder are all top-quality goods. A box like this costs over a hundred taels of silver."
"Not to mention the contents, even this box is so exquisitely crafted that it would cost several taels of silver."
The woman who was in charge of serving customers in the store looked Shen Yueyao up and down with contempt.
When she was serving customers in the store, she could tell at a glance which ladies came from wealthy families.
Generally, when the ladies and daughters of wealthy families go out for a stroll, they are either accompanied by a nanny or a maid. They never go out alone.
Besides, you can tell something by looking at the clothes.
The young woman looked young and presentable, but she didn't have any jewelry on her and her clothes were made of coarse cloth, which looked very cheap.
There was no rouge or powder on her face, and one could tell at once what her condition was.
Before, some young ladies from the countryside came to the store and touched things casually, but she was sharp-eyed and noticed and chased them away.
The shopkeeper saw that she had good judgment and valued her very much.
As a result, this person became more and more snobbish and looked down upon women from rural areas.
Besides, she knew all the prominent ladies in the city.
Shen Yueyao listened to the clerk's words, looked at her expression, and smiled, "A box of rouge like this costs over a hundred taels of silver?"
Shen Yueyao's voice was very calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
Even when people said this to her, she looked very calm and composed, acting very graceful and elegant.
The clerk looked at Shen Yueyao, and for some reason, he felt that this woman had a noble temperament.
She thought she must be dazzled.
"You haven't seen the world, so naturally you don't know that some things are beyond your reach. Have you ever seen a hundred taels of silver? If not, then don't block other customers here. Look, your hands have made these boxes dirty. How can other ladies buy things?"
The clerk frowned and mocked Shen Yueyao.
In fact, Shen Yueyao only needed to take a slight sniff to tell what materials and formula were used in the rouge.
In fact, the material cost is very low.
The price is very high though.
She also looked around the store and found that there were many ladies buying these things.
Some people come to buy a box of rouge and spend one or two hundred taels of silver without blinking an eye.
The rouge and powder shops in town sell things at very cheap prices.
There are items that cost more than ten, dozens, or even hundreds of coins. The most expensive ones are only a few dozen taels of silver. They are sold to wealthy families. Ordinary women would never buy such expensive things.
However, after visiting this store, Shen Yueyao could see the spending power of the people in the capital city.
"Go away!" The clerk looked like he wanted to kick Shen Yueyao out of the store.
Shen Yueyao said with a cold expression: "You don't have to be so snobbish. I don't even need this thing even if you give it to me for free."
