Chapter 192 First Day of Opening
The man thanked him and started writing on Lin Xi's rice paper.
After only a few words, he was already full of praise, "Writing on this paper is like gliding on the water, without any hindrance, it is a level higher than the one on Jiamu Pavilion."
When Wang Qi heard others say this, he immediately became unhappy.
He pushed aside the people around him, took the man's brush and began to write. From the first stroke, he noticed a clear difference.
Oh no! He felt a chill in his heart. Linxi's paper was much better than Jiamuge's. If someone said that Jiamuge's paper was fake, even if he didn't believe it, no one else would believe it.
Sure enough, people at the scene had already started talking.
"It seems that the silk rice paper of Jiamu Pavilion is not worthy of its reputation."
"I said, didn't you notice that all the descriptions of silk paper in Mr. Shuer's article can only be matched by what this lady has produced."
Everyone once again recalled Xiao Yongyan's article that brought silk rice paper into people's attention. What Lin Xi took out really matched in every aspect, and it could be said to be a perfect fit.
Now the proud person turned to Wang Jing, "I'm so sorry, Brother Wang, actually the main purpose of our visit today is to fight against counterfeiting. Silk rice paper is a new project of my Tongque Wang family, and I took great pains to bring this good thing to the capital."
Lin Xi's eyes twitched when listening to Wang Jing's words. This guy really wanted to piss Wang Qi off to death by talking nonsense.
"You set up a trap to deceive me on purpose!" At this point, there was nothing Wang Qi didn't understand.
He wasn't here to buy any silk rice paper at all. He probably just saw him and wanted to provoke him.
But he was foolish enough to take the bait and bought the counterfeit silk rice paper.
"It's true that none of you in Tongque are good people!" Wang Qi said angrily.
Wang Jing was very calm and didn't take Wang Qi's anger seriously at all. "Master Wang, even though the rice paper from Jiamu Pavilion is counterfeit, it doesn't matter. It can still be used as ordinary rice paper. Anyway, your Wang family has enough rice paper for their lifetime."
When Wang Qi heard this, his expression changed from cloudy to bright. Lin Xi thought it was a pity that there were no cameras in ancient times to record it.
"Wang Jing, don't push your luck!" Wang Qi gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Wang Jing spread his hands and said indifferently, "No, I didn't. I was just congratulating you for your good taste."
The one who was even more depressed than Wang Qi was the shopkeeper. He couldn't bear to see the reputation of Jiamu Pavilion being ruined in his hands. "You treat my Jiamu Pavilion like this..."
"Shopkeeper," Lin Xi said with cold eyes, "My shop is called Yanxing Pavilion. If you think I am the one who is counterfeiting silk rice paper, you can sue me at any time. I will fight you to the end."
One sentence completely stabilized the situation.
The shopkeeper went to sue? How could it be possible? He knew very well that his silk rice paper had nothing to do with silk.
But during this period, a lot of goods were sold under the banner of silk rice paper, and a lot of extra money was earned.
He never thought that the real owner would come to him.
Now Jiamu Pavilion is in a dilemma. They can either admit that they have cheated or insist on their actions to the end, both of which will damage their reputation.
No matter what, if what happened today gets out, it will be a devastating blow to their Jiamu Pavilion.
At this time, a curious person in the crowd asked, "Boss, how much is your silk rice paper?"
Lin Xi smiled faintly, "Five hundred taels per knife, pre-order in advance, no stock available."
Five hundred taels!
This price was prohibitive for everyone present.
It's just adding silk, but it's sold for five hundred taels. Isn't this robbery in broad daylight?
Lin Xi didn't think the price was expensive. "Everyone, the place where my Xuan paper is produced is very far away from here. The loss along the way, plus the labor of my shop, this amount of money is not expensive at all. Besides, there is no more. The production of this thing is very low."
After Lin Xi's explanation, everyone suddenly felt that the price was not so outrageous.
"In that case, can I reserve one now?" the man asked.
His words quickly drew the rebuke of others, "You, you just said it was too expensive, and now you want to book it, how can you be like this!"
The man also argued, "I was just sighing, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it."
Lin Xi suddenly felt that this trip today was the right one. "If you want to make a reservation, please go to Yanxing Pavilion."
After saying that, Lin Xi and Wang Jing left with a group of people.
Wang Qi and the shopkeeper were left behind.
"This thing of yours is actually fake?" Wang Qi looked at the shopkeeper dangerously.
The shopkeeper felt a chill rising from his back, "Master Wang, please listen to my explanation. There are some issues here that I didn't have the chance to explain clearly just now."
"What's the problem? Tell me clearly now, was silk rice paper really developed by your Jiamu Pavilion?" Although Wang Qi was angry, he was not stupid. Lin Xi asked so many questions just now, but the shopkeeper couldn't answer any of them, which was enough to explain the problem.
He just didn't want to admit that he had really made a mistake this time.
“Young Master Wang…”, the shopkeeper trembled with fear.
When Lin Xi came back, he was followed by a large group of people. Many of them wanted to reserve silk rice paper in advance, and the surrounding shops were amazed.
I have never seen anything like this before. On the first day of opening, he suddenly abandoned the shop and ran away, and then brought back a large number of customers.
Wang Jing was also very happy. His family didn't care much about his cooperation with Lin Xi.
But now he can also prove his ability through this incident.
Thirteen Princes' Palace.
The dispute between Yanxing Pavilion and Jiamu Pavilion today was heard by the Thirteenth Prince at the first opportunity.
"You mean, Madam Xiao's store is doing good business?" The Thirteenth Prince asked the secret guard.
The secret guard nodded. "According to the news, the order of silk rice paper has to be booked for three months. It can be seen that Madam Xiao is indeed a capable person."
"It's really amazing that you can get benefits from the Yulou Wang family." The Thirteenth Prince has a young face but speaks like an old man.
"My Lord, do you want to continue watching?"
"Keep an eye on them. If they leave the capital, we can withdraw."
"Yes, Master."
…
Today was a completely fruitful day for Lin Xi. Xiao Yongyan was quite surprised when he heard Wang Jing talk about what happened during the day. "I didn't expect the fakes to come out so quickly."
Lin Xi herself didn't expect this. She grabbed Xiao Yongyan's arm and said, "I see they all recognize what you wrote. Why don't you write another one?"
Xiao Yongyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You've already earned five thousand taels of silver today, and you're still not satisfied?"
Lin Xi curled her lips and said, "Of course I'm not satisfied. Five thousand is called sales, which is the money I made from the sales. However, my costs have not been removed yet, so this is not real profit."
Xiao Yongyan was now used to hearing all kinds of strange terms from Lin Xi, but Wang Jing found it interesting. "Lin Xi, can you go and give lessons to my family?"
