Chapter 32 Little Prince: This Yu Shi is not good enough

Lu Zexu knows his current status. No matter what he does, there are countless people watching him. If he wants to make money, he still needs to find an outsider to do it.

This person cannot have anything to do with the East Palace, nor can he have anything to do with his grandfather and uncle's family. Since it is to be done in secret, it is natural to find someone with a clean background.

Fortunately, he frequently went out of the palace to play during this period, and it is not without any gains.

Hearing that he was looking for a powerful shopkeeper, everyone recommended various candidates. It can be said that these "fox friends" have a wide network of contacts, and the people they recommend are all outstanding.

The shopkeeper was quickly decided. He was a middle-aged man who had been doing business for generations, but his family had fallen into poverty and needed to support his family.

Lu Zexu had no business experience. After hiring a shopkeeper, he only paid for the money.

Things like buying a shop, renovating the shop, hiring people, etc. were all handed over to the shopkeeper.

Although he always kept his identity hidden, he also had his own staff, who were left to him by the empress before her death, and each of them was extremely loyal.

If they were not bad at business, Lu Zexu would not have bothered to find outsiders to be shopkeepers. However, letting these people be supervisors was more than enough.

Facts have proved that Lu Zexu has a good vision. The shopkeeper is a capable person, and most importantly, he is honest and not the kind of person who would embezzle the master's money.

The business that Lu Zexu had in mind was also very simple, selling soaps and scented soaps.

When he went to the supermarket for the first time, there were a lot of these two things in the two shopping carts. When he left the palace, he secretly asked someone to transport back these treasures he had hidden in the cave, and now they came in handy.

Fangfeixuan opened soon.

Soaps and scented soaps are new items here, and the shopkeeper is a very good businessman. After trying the effects of different soaps and scented soaps, he did a secondary processing.

A large piece of soap was directly cut into six equal parts and put into a wooden box carved with exquisite patterns. Just this small piece cost one or two taels of silver.

And this is already the cheapest price in Fangfeixuan.

The ones with fragrances are more expensive.

However, all these things are inferior to soap. Soap can cleanse the face and take a bath, and with its light fragrance, the price has been directly driven up to 10 taels of silver per small piece.

It is obvious that ordinary people cannot afford it. But it doesn’t matter.

In the capital, there is no shortage of wealthy families, noble families, high-ranking officials and nobles. The wealth accumulated by these families is more than the national treasury.

It’s just ten taels of silver, but in the eyes of these people, it’s nothing. What

they use is uniqueness, status, and face!

I can use it, but you can’t, so you are inferior to me.

This kind of comparison mentality led to Fangfeixuan’s amazing business as soon as it opened.

If the shopkeeper had not restrained himself from selling, the shop would have run out of stock in less than two days.

And given the popularity of the shop, it could only last five days.

Fang Fei Xuan had only been open for five days, but news about soap and perfumed soap had spread throughout the capital.

Everyone knew that the newly opened Fang Fei Xuan only sold two kinds of goods, one was soap, which was especially useful for washing clothes and quilts. A small piece of soap, applied to clothes, and rubbed a few times, the clothes would be brand new, saving a lot of effort compared to usual times.

After drying in the sun, the washed clothes would have a light fragrance, which was delicious!

As for soap, whether it is for washing face, bathing, or washing hair, it is an excellent item. It not only makes the skin smooth and the hair fresh, but also has a light fragrance. All the ladies and young ladies of the aristocratic families love it.

For a time, the ladies and young ladies of the aristocratic families used the soap as a capital to show off. There was no way, this thing could not be bought even if you had money.

Some wealthy families who valued their reputation directly blocked the shopkeeper for a piece of soap and offered to pay a higher price. The shopkeeper was helpless and even opened the warehouse in the store. He said that the production process was difficult and complicated and there was no stock.

Even if the king of heaven came, the store would be out of stock.

As soon as the dandy young man from aristocratic family was sent away, the shopkeeper went to see Lu Zexu.

In order to conceal his identity, Lu Zexu also bought a mansion. On weekdays, when the shopkeeper had something to do, he would come directly to report.

In the pavilion in the courtyard, Lu Zexu was eating potato chips while admiring the lotus in the pond, and he was in a very good mood.

Before leaving the palace, his seventh brother, born to the imperial concubine, told him with a worried look on his face that Lord Yushi had reported him again, and many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with him, and there were even calls to depose the prince.

Lu Zexu found it funny to see that his seventh brother, who was half a head shorter than him, was obviously very happy but had to pretend to be worried.

Instead of panicking and getting anxious, he was a little disappointed. "I hope Lord Yu Shi can work harder and try harder. It's always a waste of effort to make a lot of noise but not enough results. Isn't it a waste of effort?"

After hearing this, the Seventh Prince stood there in a daze, shocked.

Thinking of his silly look, Lu Zexu was even happier, and even ate potato chips faster.

It seems that he has to work overtime, otherwise he doesn't know when his father will depose the prince!

"Boss, the store is out of stock. If we don't get new goods, those young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families will tear down this Fangfeixuan!"

Although he said so, the shopkeeper's face was full of smiles.

He really followed the right boss. It was so easy to do business for the first time. The business in the store was good, and he got a lot of rewards. He also had face when he went out for social events.

Lu Zexu thought that business would be good, but he never thought that it would be so good. He was also very happy when he saw the account books and banknotes brought by the shopkeeper.

However, when it came to the source of goods, Lu Zexu touched his chin and said, "Tomorrow, come again tomorrow."

The shopkeeper was delighted. He didn't expect that he could replenish new goods so quickly. He felt more and more that he had followed the right boss. Although the boss was young, he was capable!

Lu Zexu was actually not sure whether the door club tonight would appear again. These days, he waited until after midnight to go to bed, just thinking about going to the supermarket again.

However, he returned disappointed every day. During

this time, he collected many items that the young ladies of the aristocratic families liked, waiting to present the treasures to his sister.

He also learned about the goods that his sister mentioned last time that can be sold in large quantities. He even bought a lot of them. It can be said that everything is ready, and only the east wind is missing.

I just don't know when the door in his bedroom can be opened again.
