Chapter 95
95
The opening day was very lively, with many people stopping downstairs to watch Yuanbao sitting by the window. When they first heard that the new soap would cost fifty cents a piece, they were a little hesitant. But after seeing Yuanbao's new look, many people got excited and rushed in to buy it.
When I saw the wrapping paper and the painting, I felt it was worth it. Even if I couldn't get the gold ingots, being able to sleep with his painting in my arms would be perfect. I just don't know how much the big painting would cost.
Last time, my painting was given to someone who bought a thousand bars of soap. I don’t know if there will be such an activity this time.
Whether people can afford the painting or not, they ask the price and learn that
Whispering Wind
This painting is not for sale, but just hanging there, which makes me feel a little disappointed.
But on second thought, even if I sell it, they can't afford it, so it's better to hang it here. They can come and take a look when they have nothing to do, and it can be considered as if they bought the painting.
People who bought the soap not only got a beautiful painting, but after opening the package they found that the soap inside was pink, a color as fresh as flower petals. They had never seen such a beautiful pink before.
The dyes and pigments of this era have limited colors, and there is no such beautiful pink. This pigment was bought by Cheng Yeran from the future.
Not only were all the new soaps sold out, but even the clothes were sold out.
All the clothes were sold out. There were eight sets upstairs and four sets downstairs. Everything was sold out upstairs and downstairs.
Many men want to buy the clothes back for their husbands to wear. Yuanbao looks so good in the clothes, so their husbands should also look good in them. Of course, there are also men who want to go home and wear them secretly to satisfy their sexual fetishes.
Some time before the opening, Yuanbao set up a stall for a while and specifically told the customers the opening time and address of the store, as well as the new peach blossom soap.
He also mentioned the slogan that peach blossom soap can attract peach blossoms. There is no such thing as peach blossom luck here, so he let Yuanbao spread the word.
Some reckless men also asked Yuanbao: "If I use this soap, can I attract your little peach blossom?"
Yuanbao didn't even need to answer him, as Yuanbao's suitors angrily beat the man up.
Every time, a group of people would beat someone up and then run away. The person who was beaten up would not be able to find the person when he turned around. Moreover, they did not dare to provoke Yuanbao. They heard that Yuanbao's cousin knew the county magistrate. It would be fine if he just said a few teasing words to him, but if they really dared to cause trouble for Yuanbao, who knows what kind of trouble he would get into.
The same was true for Xia Xiaowu. When he heard that a handsome young man had come to the county town, he thought about going over to take a look. With his means, he might be able to win the heart of this young man.
But when I got there, I saw that it was actually gold ingots! Although he put on makeup and changed into a boy's clothes, they were all from the same village. They would see each other every day. How could they not recognize that the man was Yuanbao?
This made him feel very sick. He hated this kind of behavior in men the most. He wanted to rush up and shout that you all have been deceived by him. He is a man, not a boy.
But he didn't dare to offend Yuanbao, or to be more precise, he didn't dare to offend the county magistrate. He was planning to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination this autumn, and he didn't want any trouble to arise during this period.
Their place is far away from the capital, and it takes more than a month to get to the capital by car, with stops and starts. He plans to set off early, preferably to arrive in the capital half a month to a month before the exam, to get familiar with the climate there, so as to avoid getting sick and affecting the exam.
Besides, he had to study and had no time to deal with Cheng Yeran, so he thought he would do it after he became an official.
Although he cannot be an official in his hometown, it is not like he will not go home. If he becomes an official, wouldn't it be easy for him to deal with Cheng Yeran?
Who knows, when Shen Yuntang sees that he has become an official and has a different status, she might fall into his arms again.
Whenever he thought of Shen Yuntang, he felt itchy all over and in his heart. The more he couldn't get it, the more he wanted it. The more difficult it was to get it, the more satisfying it would be when he got it.
…
The store opened today and Cheng Yeran and Shen Yuntang were both helping out. When it closed in the evening, only some soy milk soaps were left in the store, and all the soaps on the counter were sold out.
The three men did not leave. They closed the door and did some accounting to see how much money they had earned that day.
Yuan Bao looked at the empty house and said, "If I hadn't seen so much money with my own eyes, I would have thought our shop had been robbed."
"Thanks to you, Taohua Soap will give you a higher share." Cheng Yeran used to give Yuanbao five cents for a piece of soap. Later, after the soy milk soap was packaged, a piece of soap was sold for thirty-five cents, and he still gave Yuanbao five cents.
Now peach blossom soap is 50 cents a piece, and the one with box has not been launched yet. Not only is the packaging good, but the quantity is also small. Once the peach blossoms are used up, there is nothing you can do anymore. Unlike the pink peach blossom soap, which can be made with pigments, so that one is 70 cents a piece.
Cheng Yeran thought about it and raised the commission for Yuanbao's pink peach blossom soap to eight cents per piece, and the price of the transparent peach blossom soap to twelve cents per piece.
Yuanbao had never thought that he could get so much. He used to think that five cents was enough. He saved more than one hundred taels in half a year. If the commission increased, he would have to save three to five hundred taels in a year! This amount of money is enough for him to buy a house in the county town and get married.
But how can he find a wife when he is dressed like a man now? After thinking about it, I decided to give up. My cousin will have a bright future. Maybe I can follow him to the capital to do business. He will earn more and more in the future. Maybe I can buy a house in the capital. But I'd better wait until I get to the capital to buy a house and get married. I'd better make more money now.
"Since my cousin said so, there is no reason for me to refuse it." Yuanbao smiled foolishly as he took today's share.
Originally, the profit share was to be calculated once a month, but since the business opened today, Cheng Yeran gave him a share of the profits just to wish for a good start.
After dividing the money, Yuanbao saw that Cheng Yeran gave the remaining money to Shen Yuntang and did not keep a penny for himself. He also often saw his cousin asking his cousin's wife for money. Isn't it depressing to live like this?
Cheng Yeran always gives all the money he earns to Shen Yuntang to manage. Does a man have to give all the money he earns to his wife to manage? Asking him to give his money to others would be more painful than killing him, so he suddenly didn't want to marry a wife anymore. He wanted to be a wife himself, keep the money he earned for himself, and then ask his husband to give him all the money he earned.
Pink peach blossom soaps are displayed in the store for about a hundred pieces every day and are sold out every day. New clothes are also sold one by one after they are made. Shen Yuntang is too busy to handle it.
On the fourth day, the store posted a notice that the product was sold out and waiting to be restocked. There was still some stock, but they had all been ordered.
Cheng Yeran had previously told the shop owners who had placed orders that they had to sell the products for three days before they could ship the products to them. From now on, each batch of new models will have similar rules. They will be first released in their own store and sell for a few days or a while before they can sell them in other stores.
It happened that their store sold out on the fourth day, and other stores restocked their stock, so those who didn't get the peach blossom soap also had a place to buy it.
The last holiday happened to coincide with the opening of the business, so Yang Shiming was unable to paint a new picture for Yuanbao. The next holiday, Yang Shiming went to Yuanbao's house to paint a picture for him.
When he entered the yard, he heard bursts of laughter in the yard. He didn't understand at first, but when he got to the yard, he found that Yuanbao had changed into women's clothes and stuffed something into his clothes to highlight his curves.
It’s just that people nowadays are very conservative, and women will wear looser clothes so that their hair won’t stand out like this. If a woman dressed like this, people would be embarrassed to see her, but everyone knows that he is a man, so it would be funny if he dressed like this.
Liu Ya felt uncomfortable for a long time, but finally accepted the fact that her best friend was a man. He even helped her put on her makeup today.
Everyone laughed when they saw Yuanbao dressed like this, except for the wild dog who was squatting on the side with a gloomy face. He wanted to bite someone, but he didn't know who to bite. He wanted to bite anyone who smiled, but Yuanbao didn't let him move, so he could only obey his orders obediently.
When Yang Shiming came in and saw this scene, he immediately turned around and stopped looking at Yuanbao.
Cheng Yeran was still watching the fun from the side. When he saw Yang Shiming's action, he said, "Is it eye-catching? Actually, he looks pretty good in this outfit."
Yang Shiming: "Don't look at what is inappropriate. Is there something wrong with this dress?"
"It's not that it's inappropriate, it's that the way he wears it is wrong." Cheng Yeran said to Yuanbao and the others: "Stop making a fuss and dress properly."
When Yuanbao and the others heard Cheng Yeran's tone become stern, they stopped making trouble, pulled their clothes straight, and took out the things inside.
"You can turn it over now." Yuanbao called Yang Shiming.
When Yang Shiming turned around, he saw Yuanbao walking lightly behind him and looking at him with a bright smile.
"I specially learned the walking posture of women. Do you think my steps are similar to hers?" Yuanbao asked him.
"I don't know." Yang Shiming paused for several seconds before answering his question.
Cheng Yeran said, "What do you know? Brother Yang only has eyes for books of sages. How could he possibly look at women? Even if you ask him, he won't know."
"Will you know if I ask you? Cousin, do you always go out to see women?" Yuan Bao smiled like a little devil, "How about I go ask my cousin's wife if she knows?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I only have eyes for your cousin's wife." Cheng Yeran called Liu Ya and Ye Gou away again. "You two should go and do what you need to do. Brother Yang is not used to having other people around him when he is painting. I should also go to the front to entertain customers."
Cheng Yeran took over Shen Yuntang's shift today and went to the front to sell sausages for him, while Shen Yuntang went to the backyard to dye cloth.
The summer limited edition soap is made in a transparent blue color, and the clothes are also blue.
It’s just that there were fewer dye colors in that era, and there was not the blue they wanted.
In fact, when Shen Yuntang was making the pink set, he was not satisfied with that pink color. If he had not read books about the future and seen that clothes could have so many gorgeous colors, he would not have thought that pink was ugly. But after seeing more amazing colors, he began to look down on the existing fabric colors.
When he was making the last set of clothes, he had not thought of buying dyes to dye the cloth himself, and he did not have the time.
Originally the summer limited edition was to be released in July, but now the transparent soap has been changed
ЙàΝf
It became July, and the summer limited edition became the beginning of August.
August is also a very hot month, and the weather will not cool down until mid-September, so the summer limited edition products can still be sold for a month.
Moreover, many people buy the soap just to collect the wrapping paper and because of the appearance of the soap. It is their first year and they have no experience, so they will be slower and not be so stuck in time.
When everything is back on track next year, soaps for all seasons will be sold on time in the season they should be in.
Now that he has more than a month of extra time, Shen Yuntang plans to dye the cloth himself, and then use the dyed cloth to make clothes, draw pictures, and make packaging.
He bought five or six shades of blue and came back with tutorials on how to dye them. He followed the tutorials to experiment with each color and different fabrics. He also embroidered patterns on them after dyeing to see which color was most suitable before deciding to use that color.
Finally he chose a blue color that looked like the color of the transparent sky and was very beautiful.
After dyeing it, the whole family liked it very much, and this color is unique in this era. Cheng Yeran said that it could not be sold at a high price in this small county town and it was such a waste.
However, they do not have the ability to sell their clothes elsewhere for the time being. It would be great if they could shop online like in the future so that people thousands of miles away could buy their clothes.
Shen Yuntang came up with an idea. He discussed it with Cheng Yeran alone at night: "Why not make a picture album, just like the photos on the online shopping page, with the price and size written on each picture, and let the soap sellers take it out. Customers can order the clothes according to the picture album, write down their own size, or buy ready-made goods."
"You are talking about fashion magazines, right? You are so smart. You have never seen a fashion magazine, but you can come up with this idea." Cheng Yeran rubbed Shen Yuntang's head, "Your brain is not only good-looking, but also smart. We can print some magazines with advertisements for our sausages, soaps, noodle shops, and clothes. We can also attract investment and sell advertising space to others!"
