Chapter 141 New Store Opens
Most of the goods in Huiyan Pavilion are rouge and powder for women, various jewelry, and fabrics.
These things are all imported from the royal capital. It’s not that Huiniang doesn’t want to get the things in Gantian’s system for free, but she is a little worried.
It was okay when Huiyan Pavilion just opened, and not so many people paid attention to it. When the business is bigger and more people pay attention to it, if people find out that Huiyan Pavilion never purchases goods but keeps shipping, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Although everyone may not be able to guess that the daughter has a system, they should still be careful.
Huiniang doesn’t think she has such good luck to meet the second unlucky person like Luo Yanei.
Seeing that Huiyan Pavilion didn’t put the things she took out from the system space, Gantian cried unhappily.
[Where are my things? 】
【Why don't you put my things up there? 】
She carefully selected many items from the system, including perfumes suitable for girls, exquisite lip glosses, sparkling mirrors, various cute dolls, small ornaments and the like. She
was very confident about these products. She believed that as long as these things were put out, she would be able to attract a large number of customers, but Huiyan Pavilion didn't put any of them up there.
Seeing her daughter so angry, Hui Niang gently patted her back.
"Tian'er, look, what is this."
Hui Niang took out a number of exquisite wooden boxes. When the
wooden boxes were opened, there were different wooden signs inside.
There were delicate and beautiful patterns on the wooden signs, and words were written on them.
"Look at what mother made."
"Each wooden box contains a wooden sign, and each wooden sign corresponds to a different item. Customers only need to spend a small amount of money to buy a chance to open the wooden box. This is called a Guanpu."
[Guanpu?]
[Isn't it just a blind box?]
Gan Tian suddenly became interested.
[I used to like opening blind boxes the most. Whether I bought ornaments or snacks, I liked to buy blind boxes, but my luck was not good and I always opened some bad things.]
Gan Tian looked at these wooden signs with interest.
The wooden signs did not directly write what the items were, but a series of corresponding numbers.
At this time, Hui Niang untied the red cloth in the middle of the lobby, and inside the red cloth was a huge Duobao Pavilion.
There were exquisite and beautiful items on the Duobao Pavilion, and there were strings of numbers on the grids where the items were placed.
Gan Tian wanted to rush up and spend a lot of money when she saw them.
On the opening day, Hui Niang did not invite a troupe of actors, but saved money and gave out handkerchiefs.
The two old ladies were old and could not do such hard work, so they coaxed Gan Tian on the side.
The job of distributing handkerchiefs fell on Su Nanxing and Pan Niang, while Gan Fanren kept accounts on the side, Hui Niang entertained the guests, and Li Zhi and Gongsun Yue did some rough work such as moving things.
Hearing that there were free handkerchiefs, many people did not believe that there was such a good thing. Pan Niang and Su Nanxing repeatedly assured that there was absolutely no trick, and then some people took the handkerchiefs.
After finding out that the handkerchiefs were really free, the people standing aside and watching immediately came over.
These handkerchiefs were made by Hong Shi and others at Hui Niang's request. They were made of ordinary fabrics, and the styles were not sophisticated enough. Because they were in a hurry, the workmanship was also rough, but they were free.
Many people came to scramble for them.
Pan Niang and Su Nanxing could not withstand their scrambling and were almost squeezed into meat cakes.
Li Zhi was originally moving things, and rushed forward when he saw this. He pushed everyone away with his big hands.
"Line up. If I see anyone cutting in line, no handkerchiefs will be given."
Li Zhi's eyes were sharp and he looked fierce. He was tall and towered in front of everyone like a mountain.
Everyone was a little scared when they saw this, and the originally chaotic scene suddenly became quiet.
Those people lined up while stealing glances at Li Zhi.
Su Nanxing ran to Li Zhi's side, as if she had found a backer.
She stood behind Li Zhi, raised her little face and said, "You all be good, if you cut in line, I will let Brother Li kick you out." She
quietly stuffed a small box into Li Zhi's hand.
"Here are the fruits I pickled myself, which are very effective in moistening the throat and preventing heatstroke."
The smile on her face was brilliant, and her white teeth gleamed with light.
Li Zhi's face flushed.
He moved his face away and said awkwardly, "If someone bullies you, just call my name loudly, and I will come when I hear it."
The huge size difference between the two of them reminded Gan Tian of the story of Beauty and the Beast.
Of course, Su Nanxing is not beautiful, and Li Zhi is not a beast.
Wang Daya came to the street to buy vegetables, and suddenly saw many people holding brand new handkerchiefs in their hands. After careful inquiry, she found out that a new shop called Huiyan Pavilion had opened at the end of the street. As long as you walk around the shop, you will get a handkerchief.
It just so happened that her previous handkerchief was old, and she had always wanted a new one, but the original handkerchief was still usable, so she was reluctant to part with it.
Hearing that she only needed to walk around the shop to get a handkerchief, she decided to come and take a look.
If the handkerchief is really given away for free, that would be great. If not, it would just be a few more steps, which is not a big deal.
She thought about it and came to the end of the street, and sure enough, she saw many people queuing up, waiting for handkerchiefs.
She was in a hurry to go home to cook, and wanted to get a handkerchief first, but as soon as she took a step forward, she found that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes. There was expectation, ridicule, sympathy, and even schadenfreude in those eyes.
This strange atmosphere suddenly made her a little timid.
She searched the line carefully and found an acquaintance. That person was a famous woman in the alley. She loved to make trouble and take advantage of others.
At this time, the woman was standing in the line obediently. It seemed strange that she was so obedient.
She thought about it and calmed down.
She looked around and saw that everyone who went in was holding a cloth bag in their hands after coming out.
The cloth bag looked good in quality, and it was printed with the words "Hui Yan Pavilion" and had very beautiful patterns.
It looked like everyone had bought something.
Even the one she knew had bought something, with both of his hands full and a slow smile on his face.
If she remembered correctly, it was more painful for that person to spend money than to kill her, so how come he could still smile after buying something this time?
What was the charm of Hui Yan Pavilion that made everyone spend money with a smile?
Wang Daya secretly made up her mind.
"I have to keep my wallet safe and not spend money recklessly."
She had thought it through. When it was her turn, she would just walk around inside casually, and then quickly get the handkerchief and come out.
In fact, it was not just her, many people had this idea.
Finally, Wang Daya entered the Huiyan Pavilion.
As soon as she entered the Huiyan Pavilion, she couldn't take her eyes away.
There was a huge Duobao Pavilion behind the counter, and there were all kinds of objects in the Duobao Pavilion.
These objects looked very fresh, and most of them she had never seen before.
