Chapter 160 Opening
"Have you really thought about it? When the time comes, if you are free, you must help me promote it!" Xu Qingyan saw through Xu Qingyue's bad intentions and said with a smile.
She believes that things like menstrual belts are taboo to everyone, but once people use sanitary napkins like modern ones, they will definitely love them. That thing is much better than the menstrual belts we use now. At that time, people will dislike it, but after finding out how useful it is, they will buy it. As time goes by, people's concepts will change. By then, no one will remember to laugh at you, but will only see that you are making a lot of money with this.
There might even be many people in the market who would imitate her and make this kind of thing. What she needs to do now is to seize the opportunity!
Xu Qingyue saw that Xu Qingyan deliberately pretended not to hear her sarcasm, but did not dare to say it directly due to her status, so she could only snort in her heart. This was all her own fault. When her reputation outside becomes bad, the Duke's wife must not try to blame her!
At night, Xu Qingyan told Pei Jingchuan about doing this business. At first, Pei Jingchuan's face turned a little dark after listening to her, thinking that this business would affect his reputation. However, under Xu Qingyan's persistent lobbying, he finally nodded and agreed, and did not stop her.
Pei Jingchuan thought: That's all! As long as she wants to do it, I will support her! Since Qingyan is not worried about being talked about, she must have a way to deal with those rumors. It's no big deal. He will spend money to let people spread some good reputation of Qingyan's charity to make up for her reputation.
After getting Pei Jingchuan's consent, Xu Qingyan followed Pei Jingye the next day to see something similar to sanitary napkins that his men had developed.
After seeing it, Xu Qingyan said that it was very similar to modern sanitary napkins. However, it was made of cotton and other materials with strong water absorption. It was just ordinary cotton, which was definitely not good. It was much worse than modern sanitary napkins. So, Xu Qingyan thought of the methods of sanitary napkins she knew and made a lot of suggestions. Pei Jingye immediately asked people to make changes.
Seven days later, a new product was produced. This time it was much better than the last one. Xu Qingyan decided to take it back and use it for a few days. She also knew that the environment in Daxia was not like the modern times, and she did not have a magical space like other time travelers. It was almost impossible to make sanitary napkins that were exactly the same as those in modern times.
Therefore, she felt that as long as she could produce something that was 80% similar, it would be very good. For the follow-up development, there were still some materials that could be gradually improved in the future.
After trying it for a few days, Xu Qingyan was very satisfied with it, so she prepared to sell and promote it. After discussing with Pei Jingye, they agreed that opening a store to sell it would not be very effective, because people would avoid such things.
So, the two of them decided to give them away as gifts in their own clothing stores first to build the reputation of this product. After the effect was seen, they would open a separate store selling sanitary napkins.
On this day, Xu Qingyan was at the door of a clothing store on a central street in the capital. The atmosphere was filled with loud gongs and drums, and a festive atmosphere.
"It's our annual store anniversary event. When you buy clothes, you will get a new product gift box for free. Welcome ladies and daughters to come and buy! This store only gives away new product gift boxes in the city. You will definitely get a surprise if you buy it!"
“Everyone is welcome to come into the store and buy…”
The servant at the door of the store was advertising loudly at the door according to Xu Qingyan's request.
Needless to say, this shouting really had some effect. After a while, people were coming in and out of the clothing store. Looking around, the people would only think that the business here was very hot.
After the customers entered the store, the maids in the store first introduced the ready-made clothes to the customers. Then, each person who bought the ready-made clothes was given a beautifully packaged gift box, and they were told that this was a new type of menstrual belt for women.
When the women heard this, they blushed instantly. Who would dare to give a menstrual belt as a gift these days? Some arrogant and conservative women even got angry about it, thinking that giving a menstrual belt would bring bad luck to others.
At this time, the words that Xu Qingyan taught them came in handy: "It is because of menstruation that this woman can get pregnant and have children. How can a woman who can get pregnant and have children be said to be unlucky? Anyway, women have to use this thing every month. Now it is free. You might as well take it home and try it first. If you think it is useful, bring your consumption records next time and we will give you a box."
After hearing this, some women would quietly accept it out of curiosity or for the sake of convenience. Of course, there were also some very conservative women who strongly refused and left cursing.
"What the hell? You actually give away such dirty things as gifts. Your shop is really outrageous!" A lady cursed, threw down the clothes she had just chosen, and walked out of the store.
Xu Qingyan did not pursue it. She knew that she could not control the minds of every consumer. Everything could only be done slowly and the influence could be expanded slowly.
But she didn't expect that when this lady was leaving, she saw a familiar figure rushing in.
"You guys... go pick out a set of bright red clothes that fit you, quick!" A woman rushed into the clothing store and directed the maids around her. She covered her stomach and her face turned pale.
"Your Highness, Princess, why are you here?" Xu Qingyan recognized Gu Yina, walked up to her and called out.
After hearing this, Gu Yina looked up and recognized Xu Qingyan. She asked, "Princess, why are you here too? Are you here to buy clothes?"
Xu Qingyan said to Gu Yina: "No, I own this shop. Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Qingyan noticed that Gu Yina was abnormal. If she guessed correctly, the woman was holding her belly and her face was pale, which meant that she was probably having her period.
Gui Na nodded awkwardly and said, "Yeah! I just went outside to ride a horse, but I didn't expect that it would come and my clothes got dirty. By the way! Princess, do you have that here? Lend it to me?"
Xu Qingyan's eyes lit up when she heard this. Isn't this a great opportunity for publicity? Xu Qingyan immediately said enthusiastically: "Of course there is, Princess, please wait a moment."
So, Xu Qingyan went to get a box of sanitary napkins herself, took Gu Yina to a separate room, asked her to change her clothes, and used the sanitary napkins.
Gu Yina instantly felt refreshed, and she walked out of the house happily. For a moment, because she was too happy, she couldn't help but say loudly: "Princess, your menstrual belt is really useful! It is better than the menstrual belts I used before!"
As soon as these words came out, many women who were shopping for clothes heard them. They all looked at each other in bewilderment. This shop was actually opened by the Crown Prince's Consort? Was the menstrual belt given by the Crown Prince's Consort really that useful?
