The woman's gaze fell on his face through the veil, as if she was confirming something, and she did not reply for a moment.
Wang Chuci asked again, and the woman finally came back to her senses. Her voice was filled with the grace of a pampered person: "This is my first time here, and I don't know what kind of elixirs you sell here. Why don't you introduce them to me?"
At this moment, a maid behind the woman tugged at her sleeve: "Madam, it's getting late, we should go back."
"Wait a moment, I want to buy some pills before going back." The woman said to the maid in a negotiating tone, as if the maid was the master.
The maid said to Wang Chuci in a commanding tone, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you introduce the things in your shop to our lady?"
Wang Chuci was very familiar with this arrogant tone. During his years in the Wang family, his peers from the direct lineage and the servants around them all spoke to their illegitimate descendants in this tone, as if they were condescending to talk to them.
"Okay, ma'am, please follow me." Wang Chuci made a "please" gesture to the lady.
Wang Chuci pointed to a green jade bottle on a shelf separated by a barrier, "This is the Rejuvenating Pill, the most popular pill among female cultivators in our shop. After taking it, it can make your face radiant, your skin firm and fair, and you will look several years younger.
"We also have a Jade Beauty Cream, which is a more everyday ointment with beauty and nourishing properties. Apply it to your skin every morning and evening to moisturize and brighten it. You can apply it to your face, hands, neck...anywhere. Long-term use can also help reduce blemishes and scars. It's our best-selling ointment in our Pill Pavilion."
Although the price is as attractive as its effect, a small box costs 200 spirit stones, but it is still snapped up every time it is put on the shelves.
Wang Chuci often lamented that women's money was easy to earn. For the sake of beauty, women would spend money without blinking an eye.
Of course, no matter how easy it is to make money, if you don’t have the ability, you can only sigh in vain.
Wang Chuci thought to himself as he took out a box of sample packs and scooped out a little with a small jade spoon, "Madam, you can try it."
Unexpectedly, the maidservant reached out her hand first: "Our Madam is very noble, how can she use things from outside casually? What if it is poisonous? Let me try it."
As she said this, she was about to apply the small amount of jade cream on the small jade spoon onto her hands.
Wang Chuci withdrew his hand and said sternly, "Miss, what you said is slandering our Medicine Hall! Please leave. We don't do business with you, and don't set foot in our Medicine Hall again!"
The maid had never expected that a casual remark of hers would lead to such harsh treatment from Wang Chuci. She was no pushover and immediately started yelling, "I just said that, and you're actually kicking us out? I think your Medicine Pavilion is feeling guilty, right?"
The commotion here attracted the shopkeeper, who asked, "Chu Ci, what's going on?"
When the lady heard the shopkeeper call out this name, she suddenly looked towards Wang Chuci and stared at him straight.
The maidservant exaggerated the story, focusing on how bad Wang Chuci's service attitude was and how he would drive away customers if they disagreed with him.
At the end, he said, "I think your medicine shop will go bankrupt sooner or later if you have such a fellow."
The shopkeeper immediately waved over the two guards and said, "Please ask them to leave. The Pill Pavilion will not do business with these three people from now on."
The maid was dumbfounded. How could this be so different from what she had expected? Shouldn't the shopkeeper have scolded the clerk or even kicked him out?
Why are you doing the same as that guy, kicking customers out as soon as you come in?
At this time, the lady said, "I'm sorry, I've spoiled my maid, and she's been a bit outspoken. Chuntao! Why don't you apologize to her quickly?"
Compared with before, the lady's attitude is much tougher now.
However, surprisingly, the maid named Chuntao pouted, left her master behind, turned around and ran out.
The lady didn't chase him, but sighed, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for your store. How about this? I'll buy all the elixirs that this young man just introduced, plus a bottle of top-grade rejuvenation pill. How about that?"
The lady's attitude was so sincere that the shopkeeper couldn't really kick her out, so he nodded and said, "Alright, but if you do something like this again that casually slanders the reputation of our Pill Pavilion, we won't let it go easily."
Pills are meant to be taken orally, so how can they be linked to poison? Although the maid said it casually, it was clear that her heart was not pure and she must not be tolerated.
Wang Chuci quickly took out several kinds of elixirs that the lady wanted, packed them in exquisite brocade bags, and finally put them into a carved box that looked like a work of art.
This box is carved from a century-old agarwood. This box alone is worth a lot of money. Due to the Dan Yao Pavilion's generous and exquisite packaging, customers who have shopped there feel that their money is well spent, and most of them become repeat customers.
"Chenghui's total is 32,800 low-grade spirit stones. Madam, would you like to apply for a membership card? If you do, you can get a 10% discount, which means you can save 328 spirit stones on the original price."
The lady asked, "What is a membership card?"
Wang Chuci had been working at the Pill Pavilion for a while and was familiar with all these things. He gave a detailed introduction, and his wife immediately said, "Then I want to apply for a membership card."
"Okay, please fill in your identity information in this booklet so we can register." Wang Chuci took out a membership registration booklet, led the master and servant into a tea room, and placed the booklet on the table.
While the lady was filling in the information, Wang Chuci brought a pot of tea and several plates of exquisite snacks, placed them on the table, and poured a cup of tea for each of the master and servant.
The lady filled in the information, handed the booklet back to Wang Chuci, and paid a membership fee of 30,000 spirit stones. Wang Chuci handed her a thin piece of thousand-year-old agarwood, which was engraved with the "Dan Yao Ge" logo and the lady's membership number.
"Here's your membership card, please keep it. Because you've topped up your membership and are getting a member discount, you don't need to pay this time. After deducting your current fee, there will be 480 spirit stones remaining on your membership card account. You can use this money the next time you come to buy pills."
The lady silently calculated the bill in her mind. The pills originally cost more than 32,000 spirit stones, but after becoming a member for 30,000 spirit stones, she still had an extra 480 spirit stones, which was quite a deal.
Wang Chuci sent the master and servant out of the Alchemy Pavilion, and silently calculated in his mind that he would get a commission of 1% for each order. If he were a formal clerk now, he would be able to get a bonus of 300 spirit stones at once!
Thinking of this, he became more motivated.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the store, the lady who was getting into a carriage not far away suddenly had her veil blown up by the wind, revealing her face underneath.
When Wang Chuci saw that face, his heart was shocked. Mother?!
