Master Qu's passionate speech was immediately met with cheers from the crowd—after all, they were getting a really good deal.
However, someone still asked, "According to Master Qu, the sanitary napkins from the Qu family's cloth shop are just as good as those from the Zhou family's cloth shop, right?"
"Hehe, if there are problems, would people still buy it?"
Master Qu laughed.
"In that case, does the Qu family's cloth shop dare to make a promise to everyone, just like the Zhou family's cloth shop?"
That person spoke the minds of everyone else, and all eyes turned to them in an instant.
Master Qu nodded slightly: "What's there to be afraid of?"
He then said in a deep voice, "What the Zhou family's cloth shop dares to do, our Qu family's cloth shop dares to do as well! And what the Zhou family's cloth shop dares not do, our Qu family's cloth shop still dares to do!"
Subsequently, in front of everyone, Master Qu announced that the sanitary napkins from the Qu Family Cloth Shop would also be compensated tenfold for any counterfeit product. If someone bought ten sanitary napkins for one hundred coins and experienced itching after using them, the Qu Family Cloth Shop would compensate them one tael of silver. Furthermore, if itching problems arose later, the cost of purchasing Chinese medicine at the pharmacy would also be compensated tenfold.
That's not all. Master Qu also promised that if anyone experienced itching after using the sanitary napkins from the Qu Family Cloth Shop, the Qu Family Cloth Shop would willingly close down as an apology and give the shop to the Zhou family!
This was undoubtedly a show of loyalty, and the crowd erupted in cheers, immediately clapping and applauding, and then started buying again.
As the scene continued to escalate, Master Qu was both pleased and sneered: "Heh, you're still too green to fight me!"
The common people had never heard of disinfection, and neither had Master Qu.
He personally cut open and studied several sanitary napkins from the Zhou family's cloth shop, one by one, showing how they were made by adding layers of cotton to clean cotton fabric and then sewing them together.
In order to achieve a better effect than Zhou's cloth shop, Master Qu specially had more cotton added, but in other aspects, it was no different from Zhou's sanitary napkins.
I had no problems using Zhoujiabufang sanitary napkins, so why did I experience itching after using theirs?
Therefore, in Master Qu's view, this was just something the Zhou family cloth shop said on purpose because they were jealous of their good business.
Back in the backyard, a short while later, a shop assistant came to inform us that the thousand sanitary napkins they had worked overtime to sew that day were about to sell out.
While excited, Master Qu did not forget to instruct people to continue hiring to sew sanitary napkins, working in shifts day and night, 24 hours a day. In case of a shortage, the same strategy as when selling cotton a few days ago should be adopted: register first, then ship.
The business at Qu Family Cloth Shop remains booming...
...
The Qu Family Cloth Shop was booming for a day, but the incident happened at noon the next day.
It turns out that many of the women who buy sanitary napkins from Qujia Cloth Shop are currently menstruating or about to menstruate, so they use them immediately after buying them from Qujia Cloth Shop. Out of trust in Qujia Cloth Shop, they even carry sanitary napkins with them at night!
You should know that when cloth bags were used before, all women knew that the longer they wore them, the more severe the itching problem would become. So, at night, they would rather lay several layers of old cloth on the bed than wear a cloth bag all night.
But this time, after they wore sanitary napkins all night, they were unbearably itchy the next morning!
It's possible that one person's itching is accidental, but if everyone who uses sanitary napkins experiences itching, it can only mean that there's something wrong with Qujia Cloth Shop!
In particular, it is said that there are women who have been using Zhoujia Cloth Shop sanitary napkins in the past two days. They have been using Zhoujia Cloth Shop sanitary napkins at night without any problems. However, yesterday, they switched to Qujia Cloth Shop sanitary napkins because they were cheaper, but problems arose as soon as they switched!
Therefore, by noon the next day, the Qu family's cloth shop was packed with people inside and out, but this kind of bustling scene was not what the owner of the shop wanted to see.
"We want our money back!"
"Tenfold compensation for any counterfeit product!"
"Pay our medical bills!"
"Unscrupulous businesses, shut down! Shut down!"
"..."
A cacophony of shouts erupted, throwing the Qu Family Cloth Shop counter into chaos. The shop assistants, unable to handle the unexpected situation, could only stare helplessly.
Meanwhile, Master Qu was in the backyard room, smashing teacups one after another.
"A conspiracy! It's definitely a conspiracy!"
"conspiracy?"
The Crown Prince of Yu also appeared here, and sneered: "How can you say it's someone else's conspiracy?"
"Their sanitary napkins are all fine, so why are ours the problem? I think it's a conspiracy of theirs. They deliberately poisoned our sanitary napkins—they even claimed it was for disinfection! And those women who say there's a problem, I think they already have problems down there! They must have been instructed by Zhou's Cloth Shop to deliberately smear us!"
Master Qu was somewhat hysterical because he knew how big this incident had become, and if he couldn't control it, he would be finished!
The Crown Prince of Yu sneered, "You think too highly of Zhou Ziqiong and the others, don't you? Poisoning? Weren't all these sanitary napkins made at the Qu Family Cloth Shop, and you personally watched them being sewn? Who poisoned them? And how? I saw it when I came here just now. It wasn't just a few people who had problems, but everyone who bought the sanitary napkins! If the Zhou Family Cloth Shop had such great power to direct so many people, they wouldn't have been suppressed so badly by us before!"
"..."
All the excuses he had come up with were rejected, and Master Qu felt a little sad. He looked up at the Crown Prince of Yu and asked, "Your Highness, since this has already happened, what should we do?"
"It's not about what we should do, it's about what you should do."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Master Qu was utterly astonished.
He wasn't stupid; how could he not realize that the Crown Prince of Yu was planning to abandon him?
When Prefect Liu and Manager Hu were arrested, Prince Yu did not abandon him. Moreover, he is now Prince Yu's last ally in Ruzhou City. How could Prince Yu abandon him?
He looked closely at the face of the Crown Prince of Yu and found that his face was frighteningly red, as if there was a five-finger mark on it. The Crown Prince of Yu looked up and saw that Master Qu was looking at his face, and he immediately became furious.
"Clap clap clap!"
He raised his hand and slapped her several times.
"It's because you acted on your own initiative that the man surnamed Jing colluded with foreign merchants to swindle away so much cotton and cotton-padded clothing. And it's because you acted on your own initiative that you made a promise to them to close the shop. How can I, the Crown Prince, save you? You didn't even inform me before making your decision. Who do you respect?"
The Crown Prince of Yu grew angrier as he spoke, his face burning with pain. Then he remembered what his father, King Yu, had said after he had beaten him, and his eyes turned cold.
"You've done your own thing, so deal with it yourself! From today onwards, you have nothing to do with me anymore!"
After speaking, the Crown Prince of Yu turned and left.
