Chapter 296: Unexpected
Zhang Juexia opened a bottle of facial cream and placed it in front of the ladies and ladies.
Li Yingyue was the first to step forward and try it, and then she persuaded the lady next to her to try it as well.
With the first one taking the lead, slowly there was a second one, and soon the room became lively.
“It’s really useful!”
"Yeah, I think it's good too. It feels better than what I have at home."
"Mrs. Ye, how do you sell this?"
"Yes, yes, how do you sell it?"
Zhang Juexia deliberately turned around and asked Li Yun, "Sister Yang, how much lotion and cream do we have left?"
"Ma'am, you know this is very difficult to make."
The ladies who were busy trying out the cream stopped and looked at them when they heard what their master and servant said.
One of the wealthy ladies, Mrs. Liu, spoke up, "Mrs. Ye, our family and the Yingyue family have always had a good relationship. You can't neglect one while focusing on the other!
Let me tell you, Yingyue also knows that our family is not short of money.
Forget it, don't worry about the amount of money, just leave me two sets first."
"That won't work. How can you buy two sets when you come here alone? If you buy one, we won't have any left."
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Zhang Juexia quickly stood up to intervene, "Ladies and ladies, everyone who came today has a share. Even if we don't have one, we will work overtime to get it out for you, okay?"
"That's more like it."
"Mrs. Yang, go to our warehouse and take out as many of these things as you can."
Li Yun replied "yes" and ran out.
"I asked Sister Yang to get the stuff. As you all heard just now, this thing is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to make. Ladies and ladies, at this price, I'm afraid it will be..."
"Mrs. Ye, do you look down on us? Look at everyone sitting in your house. None of them looks like someone who is short of money."
"That's right. We are not short of money."
Then everyone started talking at once.
Li Yingyue found an opportunity to call Zhang Juexia outside and said, "Sister, you are really amazing. You taught me another trick.
They really don't lack money, so they're asking for a higher price. Besides, these things of yours are only what they can afford."
Zhang Juexia asked Li Yingyue, "How much do you think is appropriate?"
Li Yingyue held up a finger and said, "Ten taels of silver, no more, no less."
Zhang Juexia nodded, "I'll listen to you."
"Then don't sell the fresh corn too cheaply, or they won't have anything to show off. Besides, at this time of year, you're the only one in Shunhe County with two carts of fresh corn. Scarcity makes things valuable, sister. Do you understand?"
Zhang Juexia gritted his teeth and agreed.
However, she felt conflicted. She didn't know much about the wealthy circles in Shunhe County, and she really didn't know how much it would be appropriate to sell it for.
"Yingyue, you know, I've only been with them for a short time, so I don't know them very well. Could you help me decide on a price? What's a reasonable price?"
"Sell them ten fresh corns for one ounce of silver."
"This... isn't this a bit too cruel?"
"It's okay, they just want to try something new. As I said before, they don't lack money, but they lack good things."
Zhang Juexia understood.
She watched Li Yun and his men transport the things over, and went forward to help.
When these people saw the things being transported, they all rushed forward and soon surrounded Zhang Juexia.
"Look, ladies and gentlemen, I've brought everything with me. Don't worry, everyone will have a share.
As I said earlier, this thing of ours is very troublesome to make, so the price is a bit higher, ten taels of silver per set, how about that, everyone?
"Hey, how much silver was that? Isn't it just ten taels of silver? Mrs. Ye, we agreed on this. This is thirty taels of silver. I'll take one set and reserve ten more. The remaining twenty taels of silver will be my deposit. When you're done, come to my house and let me know, and I'll come back to pick it up."
"Mrs. Ye, I feel the same as Mrs. Liu."
As he said this, he took out a deposit of thirty taels of silver and put it on the table.
Soon, the lotion and cream sets on the table were sold out.
They set their eyes on the soap gift box again. Zhang Juexia encouraged them to go forward and smell it. "It's not easy to make this soap. Take a close sniff. Isn't it fragrant? It's much better for washing your face than ordinary scented soap."
"That's true! Mrs. Ye, you are so mean. You have so many good things here, but you hide them away.
Give me ten of these soap gift boxes. I'm visiting relatives in a few days, and there are many girls in my family. If I give one to each of them, it will make me look good."
They didn't even ask the price, just said ten portions of this and ten portions of that. Zhang Juexia was ecstatic when he heard it, and even Li Yun was stunned.
"Mrs. Yang, this is the quantity I recorded. Take this list and quickly go to the shop in front and ask Li Le to prepare the soap gift boxes."
Li Yun was awakened, took the list from Zhang Juexia, and trotted to the shop in front.
"This soap gift box is also sold in my shop in front. One gift box is one tael of silver. I will not cheat you, so you can rest assured."
"Mrs. Ye is truly a straightforward person."
"That's right. You see, we came here mainly to try new things, but we didn't expect to get so many good things."
"Mrs. Ye, I think you should open another shop and make more of those lotions and creams for face application. I tell you, as soon as I become young and beautiful, I will come to your house every day to buy things."
"That's great. I'll consider your opinions. However, everyone is welcome to visit me in the future."
Today is my first time meeting guests at home. Please bear with me if I haven't been welcoming enough."
In the shop ahead, Li Le looked at the list in Li Yun's hand. His legs and feet were shaking, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. "Sister Yang, are you kidding me? The boss sold so many soap gift boxes in just a short time."
Li Yun glanced at Li Dong and said, "You're making a fuss out of nothing. My wife sold all the skin care gift boxes I made for ten taels of silver. Your soap gift box is just a drop in the bucket."
"Sister Yang, we sold over a hundred gift boxes worth one tael of silver in less than half an hour. Is that just a drop in the bucket?"
Qin Eryong, who was leaning against the door frame and counting the people outside, turned around quickly and said, "Manager Li, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Ten taels of silver? What are you talking about? More than a hundred? Where is the drizzle?"
Li Yun and Li Le laughed so hard that they fell over.
Soon, Li Yun's face turned stern. "Shopkeeper Li, stop dawdling and get ready. The madam is waiting!"
"Eryong, stop being dazed and go find a place to hide in the back.
See how your wife sold your two cartloads of corn.
Look at how reluctant you were yesterday. It made me angry."
