Chapter 23: Chinese products are booming
"Not even a hair is left. Why is it so exaggerated?"
"Gui Fei Yu Zhen Gao, it should refer to facial cream, right? How good can a facial cream sold in a museum be? Even if it is packaged in a red jade porcelain brocade box, it is at most a case of buying a casket and returning the pearl."
Fang Baihua didn't care. It was true that she liked the red jade porcelain box, but as a veteran homegirl who chased the second dimension and bought millets all year round, she knew too well the average quality of these millets.
Especially these "practical" peripherals with anime characters printed on them, which are pure IQ tax.
Sunscreen, spray, toilet water, umbrella, towel, lipstick.
These things seem very practical, but for those who buy a lot of two-dimensional millet all year round, they are just rubbish for psychological comfort.
The purpose of their existence is to buy them, not to use them.
So even if the original function of the ruby porcelain box is to store cosmetics, she doesn't think the peripheral cosmetics launched by the museum would have any significance.
The so-called popularity was just because of the exquisiteness of the red jade porcelain box itself. She was now praying that there would be a layer inside the cosmetics box so that she could take out all the cosmetics at once.
However, what she didn't expect was that as she got closer to the booth, she began to realize that the young ladies "scrambling" around the booth were not buying like they were in a vegetable market.
Because at this moment, except for the team in the middle, all the young ladies around the counters were all "removing their makeup" in various ways!
Fang Baihua subconsciously checked the time. It was 8:30 in the morning. At this time, let alone the Mid-Autumn Festival, even in midsummer it was far from hot enough for girls to touch up their makeup or even remove or reapply it again.
She leaned out and glanced at the flyer in the hand of the customer in the front row.
"The 97-year-old Chinese brand, Yang Guifei's Ancient Formula Yuzhen Cream, has everything from the test report to the packaging description clearly printed on paper in oversized fonts."
"Runyutang... If I remember correctly, this brand seems to be from the old days, when grandparents used cooling oil and aloe vera gel?"
At first she thought it was a hired agent, or an activity where discount coupons could be obtained by using the coupons on the spot. However, before she could complete her guess, she witnessed with her own eyes that a girl in the front row who was removing her makeup on the spot with the help of tools at the counter changed her look from being a worker who had stayed up late to a look with a distinct "bloody" look in less than a minute.
At first she thought it was some kind of foundation similar to the drip bottle used in a small clinic, made with very strong ingredients, but she soon became confused by the clear product categories in the brochure.
This is because Yuzhen Paste is not classified as a cosmetic but a skin care product.
Makeup and skin care are two completely different concepts in the beauty industry. The most important thing is that this box of Yuzhen cream only costs 250 yuan including the box and the product.
Although this number is indeed a bit unpleasant to the ear.
But for Fang Baihua, the simplified red jade porcelain brocade box alone was worth the price, not to mention the so-called old Chinese traditional skin care products inside.
The highest level of testing agency, coupled with state-owned enterprise certification and 97-year-old domestic brand history, this endorsement effect made Fang Baihua, who has always been pessimistic about domestic beauty products, decide to give it a try.
After all, facial cream can at least be used as a hand cream.
Fang Baihua thought so, but just as she was habitually checking her phone because the waiting time was too long.
#Ancient cosmetics from Yongan Museum. #
#The collaboration of a 97-year-old domestic brand explores the magic of Donghuang's top ancient skin care products. #
#Runyutang Yuzhen Cream, a royal concubine-level enjoyment. #
What kind of advertising-type hot search is this? Are hot searches bought so directly these days?
Fang Baihua felt helpless, but when she clicked on the trending search, all she saw was a string of netizens’ wails.
[Is the Yuzhen ointment really that effective? ]
[Of course, a beauty blogger has just tested it and the effect is very good. ]
[Do you remember Jiang Miaomiao who was very popular some time ago? She mentioned it in the live broadcast just now, saying that her makeup artist got the news from her colleagues and flew to Xian'an City late last night to buy Yuzhen Cream for her. ]
[How can a female celebrity still use such cheap cosmetics? ]
[Hey, hey, hey, the 250 above is not a low price, okay? And do you know how much water there is in the prices of those foreign cosmetics? ]
[This is a genuine top-notch Chinese product made using traditional methods. I heard that this stuff is limited by ID card. Only people over 16 years old are eligible to buy it, and each person can only buy one can per quarter.]
[Is God so cruel? ]
[Yes, I heard that the factory's production is insufficient, and there are still many ancient crafts that cannot be replaced by machines. ]
[Not only is the purchase of this Yuzhen cream limited now, but even if one person buys one box, there may be a shortage of supply. ]
[Stop talking. I just got the news and my mom dragged me to Yong'an Museum to shop. But the museum has limited the number of visitors and outsiders can't get in now.]
[Oh my god, are the things our ancestors left so good? ]
[Otherwise, think about it, how many countries had Donghuang's farming culture a thousand years ago? The ladies in the palace used exquisite products that combined the essence of the technology of the time, and many of the things in them obviously exceeded their practical value.]
[That’s right, the boss of Runyutang just mentioned it in the live broadcast, saying that this is a process that Director Jia deciphered from an ancient prescription, and the most amazing thing is that if this process was used a thousand years ago, according to the purification level at that time, it would be like using more than ten or twenty kilograms of precious medicinal materials to extract a few grams of skin care products.]
[The boss said directly that if Donghuang had not already carried out large-scale artificial cultivation of many of the medicinal materials, there would be no possibility for the Yuzhen Paste to be circulated and sold on the market.]
[Really, now Yuzhen Cream has a very cool name in the industry called "Blood Cream", which is most suitable for those of us who work overtime and stay up late every day. 】
[It’s a pity that this thing is only sold in Xian’an City, and there’s not even an online store. ]
[Oh, and the curator of Runyu Pavilion also mentioned that Runyu Pavilion only has ordinary packaging, and the hardcover version with red jade porcelain box is only sold in Yong'an Museum. ]
[I really don't want to say this, but when the red jade porcelain box is placed on the dressing table, it does look much more impressive than those cheap brands.]
[You have to believe in our ancestors’ aesthetic taste for luxury goods. Our ancestors’ luxury goods are not marketing, they are real luxury made of real materials.]
[So is this why Hongyu is the first member of the family of artifacts to be made public at the Yongan Museum? ]
[One more thing, I was curious before, why Director Jia, who obviously has such good craftsmanship, would start with a cosmetic box like the Red Jade Porcelain Brocade Box? It seems that there are so many tricks involved.]
[Ahhh, what should I do? It seems like the Yongan Museum is going to be packed during the National Day Golden Week. 】
[I was just saying that air tickets to tourist cities during the National Day Golden Week are expensive, and the price is even more frightening when I saw it just now.]
[Let alone air tickets, locals said that the prices of hotels in the surrounding area have skyrocketed. If I want to go out with my girlfriend during the Golden Week, I can’t afford to book a room. ]
…
Fang Baihua was startled by the netizens' ridicule online. She quickly turned around to look at the long queue behind her that had formed since she didn't know when.
WeChat:
A loving family.
Mom: Hey, Xiaohua, your dad said you went to the museum this morning, right? Was it the Yongan Museum? If so, remember to buy a box of Yuzhen Paste. Your second aunt just went to the museum to queue up, but was told that she couldn't enter because the number of visitors had reached the limit.
"Is it really that hot? I hope I won't get robbed if I go out like this."
Fang Baihua swore that this was definitely the most terrifying shopping trip she had ever experienced.
Although I was looking forward to the effect of Yuzhen Cream on my face, I kept telling myself not to take it out before I got home.
She buried the paper box containing the red jade porcelain box deep among a pile of peripheral products in her bag.
She even worried that she might encounter some extreme scalpers who would snatch her bags while walking on the street.
Fortunately, after receiving news of a large crowd gathering, the local public security department immediately set up multiple posts around the Yong'an Museum.
Fang Baihua couldn't believe that in just a few hours, such a newly opened museum could become a famous check-in attraction in the city.
She knew that the terrifying effect of Yuzhen Cream was contained in it.
However, Yuzhen Paste is not only sold in the Yong'an Museum. Runyutang has publicly promised that it will put the regular version of the packaging on the shelves soon.
This is ultimately due to everyone's tendency to follow trends and compare with others in the Internet age.
Fang Baihua suddenly had an intuition that her journey to buy millet might never be as easy as it was now.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but tighten the backpack in her arms.
However, what she didn't know was that at this moment in the major groups of archaeology and literature professors in Xian'an City, the old predecessors who always attached great importance to integrity were staging a "war" that was even more crazy than what she had just seen.
Professor Liu: ["Stiff neck", do you still have the Yuzhen ointment produced by your little apprentice? My daughter-in-law just gave birth and can't use many cosmetics, so...]
Professor Liang: [What? It’s been almost two years since your daughter-in-law gave birth to a child. Have you forgotten that you showed off your granddaughter’s abacus last year?]
Professor Zhang: [That’s right, Old Zhen, the things your young apprentice has researched must be better than those sold on the market. Please help me, otherwise I will go home tonight...]
Dean Zhen: [No, everyone. It's not that I don't want to help, but I really don't have any. My apprentice brought me a few boxes, but she didn't know how many people there were in my family. As soon as the stuff came out, it was directly divided up by several female comrades in the family. I really don't have any now.]
PS: A drawer of red jade porcelain boxes.
