After confirming the remarkable effectiveness of the contraceptive sleeve, Qin Yu immediately began arranging its production.
Moreover, this time he also requested that the contraceptive sleeves be made in two types: superior and ordinary, and each type also had two thicknesses.
Within a few days, the Craftsmen's Office had completed over a thousand Taotao.
Feeling that the quantity was about right, Qin Yu handed the matter over to Qingzhu.
After learning about Tao Tao's usefulness, Qingzhu and the others blushed.
"Your Majesty, would anyone really buy this contraceptive? Those high-ranking officials all pray for many children and many blessings, so they certainly wouldn't use this thing. Probably only prostitutes would buy it."
Qingzhu was the first to raise her doubts.
The others nodded as well.
They didn't think anyone would buy it either.
Seeing the doubtful looks on their faces, Qin Yu smiled.
"However, in my opinion, this thing will not only be bought by people, but people will buy it in droves."
Upon hearing this, Qingzhu and the others immediately shook their heads.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yu's lips curled up. "Since none of you believe this thing can be sold, how about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet?"
Qingzhu asked curiously.
"If this thing is truly something only prostitutes would buy, as you say, then I will consider myself to have lost, and each of you can make a request of me, or I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. If you lose, then I will be the one to make a request of you."
Qin Yu leaned forward slightly, revealing a malicious smile.
Seeing Qin Yu's "malicious" smile, the faces of the group couldn't help but burn.
They could already imagine what demands Qin Yu would make.
However, none of them thought Qin Yu could win. After exchanging glances, they nodded.
"Very well, Your Majesty, then we servants will humbly bet with you."
The group wasn't short of money, so they all planned to make some demands of Qin Yu after they won.
For example, tell him not to suddenly touch their butts in the future!
Seeing the confident expressions on their faces, Qin Yu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
"Alright, you can go back now. Put this item on the women's lifestyle store tomorrow."
"yes."
The women nodded and then left with the contraceptives Qin Yu had prepared.
"Sister Qingzhu, do you think we will win?"
On the way back, the people following Qingzhu couldn't help but ask curiously.
Qingzhu pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
"Although His Majesty has always been very capable, there are definitely not many people who will buy this."
Hearing Qingzhu's words, the others were relieved and nodded.
Time flew by and it was the next day.
Although Qingzhu and the others thought that the contraceptive sleeve would not sell, it was His Majesty's order after all, so they still spared no effort in promoting it and even put up signs outside.
"The Women's Lifestyle Store has launched the Smurf Condom Condom. Its main functions include..."
This signboard not only describes in detail the function of the anti-pregnancy sleeve, but also provides a detailed description of how to use it.
Many young women who saw this sign couldn't help but cover their faces in embarrassment and quickly run away.
Seeing the women passing by scared away by the sign, Qingzhu and the others couldn't help but shake their heads.
People will just walk around it if they see it, how can it be sold!
Moreover, as the news spread, many people gathered in front of the Women's Lifestyle Center.
At first, everyone looked at the things being sold with curiosity, but before long, a group of people dressed as scholars came up.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the world is going to the dogs, morality is declining. When did such bedroom items become so openly displayed and sold?"
"I told you this so-called women's lifestyle store was shady! Look at what they're selling!"
"Such an indecent shop is an eyesore; I think we should just smash it!"
"..."
The group of scholars got more and more excited as they talked, and some even started shouting that they would smash up the women's lifestyle center.
Just as a group of people were eager to try, a group of people suddenly pushed them away forcefully.
"who……"
The scholars were about to unleash a torrent of curses, but when they saw who had pushed them, they immediately fell silent.
Because the person who pushed them away was none other than the infamous Imperial Guard.
"This contraceptive sleeve is quite interesting. My new concubine just complained that the contraceptive soup was too bitter. With this contraceptive sleeve, things will be much more convenient in the future."
Zhu Fei, who was standing at the very front, had a smile on his face.
"The commander is right. With this contraceptive, we don't have to worry about the woman we meet outside getting pregnant."
The Imperial Guards following behind him echoed his sentiments.
After they finished speaking, the group walked into the Women's Lifestyle Center.
"Give me twenty sets."
Zhu Fei clapped his hands and said loudly.
Upon hearing his domineering words, the saleswoman at the women's lifestyle store was momentarily stunned.
However, she quickly realized what was happening.
"Alright, sir, would you like the premium or the regular grade? The thin or the thick version?"
The salesperson pointed to the two sets of condoms displayed on the counter and asked with a smile.
"What's the difference between this superior grade and the ordinary grade?"
Zhu Fei asked, his hands behind his back.
"Master, this superior contraceptive uses the finest fish maw and sheep intestines, which are not only difficult to break, but also contain a lot of medicinal herbs, which will make you more and more energetic the more you use it."
"As for the ordinary product, it is made from the swim bladders of carp and grass carp, and the quality is slightly lower, but the effect of preventing pregnancy is the same."
The sales staff at the women's lifestyle store had already memorized the sales pitch Qin Yu had given them, and they were now reciting it in a clear and logical manner.
After listening to her introduction, Zhu Fei nodded, then pointed to the top-grade contraceptive set on the top shelf, "I want the top-grade one."
Seeing his magnanimity, the salesperson immediately smiled warmly.
"Yes, sir, twenty for a total of one hundred taels."
The salesperson took off a beautifully made condom and placed it in front of Zhu Fei with a smile.
The group of people who had been craning their necks at the door, hoping to hear the details, couldn't help but gasp when they heard the price.
"Five taels of silver?!"
Everyone was extremely surprised.
However, Zhu Fei casually tossed out a handful of silver.
“The cheapest dose of that contraceptive soup costs fifteen taels, so this is much more cost-effective.”
As Zhu Fei spoke, he stuffed the condom into his clothes, saying with a smile on his face.
His words silenced everyone who had just thought the price was outrageous.
Indeed, while both are methods of contraception, this contraceptive sleeve is much cheaper than contraceptive soup.
Meanwhile, the group of Imperial Guards following behind Zhu Fei also took out their money to buy a few, planning to try them out with their mistresses after their shift that night.
After they left, an eerie silence fell over the entrance.
The group of scholars who had previously threatened to smash the shop no longer dared to speak.
