The news spread rapidly, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The group following them gradually grew larger and larger.
Yu Zhizhi pushed the wooden cart through Xizi Street and finally arrived at the famous Jinghe Street.
When everyone saw her start walking from one end of the street to the other, they immediately guessed that she must have come to set up a stall on Jinghe Street.
Guo Zhihua was very satisfied with the location Yu Zhizhi had chosen for her stall.
Previously, when she sold stinky tofu, she chose the entrance of the Sixth Prince's residence, which gave him the creeps; and when she sold ice cream, she chose the distant top of Putuo Mountain, which exhausted him.
This time, she finally thought things through.
Generally speaking, normal people who want to set up a stall or do business will prioritize lively and bustling locations to attract more attention.
Soon, the group arrived near Xu's Wine Shop.
At this moment, a few people in the crowd began to whisper among themselves: "Hey! Why did Yu Zhizhi suddenly stop?"
"Yeah! This place is really creepy. The Xu family's bizarre murder case hasn't been solved yet. Every time I pass by here, I feel a chill down my spine."
"The murderer may come back. This Xu's Wine Shop is not only filled with resentment, but also dangerous."
Recently, people have been quickening their pace when passing by here, and they don't even bother to stroll around Jinghe Street unless they're buying alcohol.
Everyone assumed that Yu Zhizhi would go directly past Xu's Wine Shop, located in the middle of Jinghe Street, and head straight to the end of the street.
And then what happened?
She actually stopped leaving.
Finally, Yu Zhizhi stopped not far from the entrance of Xu's Wine Shop.
At this moment, everyone looked at Yu Zhizhi with great curiosity. She was stroking her chin and staring thoughtfully at Xu's Wine Shop in front of her.
When Yu Zhizhi saw that the door of Xu's Wine Shop was wide open and the door was gone, her face turned pale instantly, and she was in a bad mood.
Can someone tell her where the door went?
She clearly remembered that the gate was still closed when she passed by here a few days ago.
This is it.
Yu Zhizhi looked around and found that the two shops next to Xu's were closed for the day, probably because the murder case had not yet been solved and they had been implicated.
Moreover, as time went by, Jinghe Street became noticeably quieter than before.
He Yang shuddered and quickly asked, "Boss, why aren't you leaving yet? It's so creepy and scary here."
Yu Zhizhi gritted her teeth and pushed the wooden cart forward a few steps, then turned left and went straight to her destination.
"Lazy Yangyang, this time we're setting up our stall in front of Xu's Wine Shop. Surprised? Unexpected!"
He Yang stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape in fright, clutching the garlic hanging around his neck tightly.
Quickly send a bolt of lightning to strike him dead.
He stammered, "Boss, you... tell me the truth, are you being haunted by the vengeful ghost of Xu Dongjia?"
He Yang could only think of this possibility; otherwise, why would anyone set up a stall in such an evil place?
Is he mentally ill?
Yu Zhizhi looked at him with a forced smile and said in a gentle tone, "We haven't done anything wrong, and we've prepared red clothes and garlic to ward off evil spirits, so don't be afraid and relax."
At this moment, she couldn't help but curse the lousy system in her heart hundreds of times.
The large group of people who had been following them had already retreated to a distance of eight zhang (approximately 33 meters).
Yu Zhizhi pointed to the garlic hanging on her body and reassured them, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We are fully equipped, and this evil spirit won't attack us. You can come to our stall to make your purchases with peace of mind later."
As Yu Zhizhi prepared to walk towards them, one of the older women, with a pointed face and monkey-like features, instantly bristled. She stared directly at Yu Zhizhi and shouted, "Don't come any closer! Get back! Get back! Get back!"
She had just seen the girl walk to the open door of Xu's Wine Shop and linger there for a while, which was really unlucky.
She came here out of curiosity, but she never expected that the stall owner was mentally ill.
I was originally interested in seeing what she was going to sell, but suddenly I lost interest.
It would be best to leave now.
After finishing her speech, the emotional woman turned around and quickly left the area.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of people left.
Watching the departing crowd, Yu Zhizhi felt a pang of pain in her heart. It would be a lie to say she didn't feel the pinch, after all, a large portion of these people were women, and these were all her potential clients!
Before setting up the stall, she had to patiently comfort He Yang, and it took a lot of effort to finally convince him.
In reality, He Yang was swayed by the money.
You should know that the boss had told him before that each lipstick cost one tael of silver, and each bottle of essential oil cost three taels of silver.
If they could sell all these cosmetics, they could make a net profit of over a thousand taels of silver.
Moreover, the boss promised him that if he worked hard to promote the product, he would receive an extra bonus in addition to the 30% profit he was entitled to.
So he decided to give it his all.
At this moment, Guo Zhihua, who was still observing from a distance, could not contain his curiosity and asked, "Miss Yu, what are you planning to sell this time?"
Yu Zhizhi, who was busy setting up her stall, took a moment to look up and softly replied, "Lipstick and essential oil."
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhihua looked astonished: "Huh?"
He wondered if he had misheard; the name of this thing didn't sound like something you could eat!
Guo Zhihua was somewhat unwilling to give up and continued to ask, "Your food business was doing quite well before, it was booming, why did you suddenly stop selling it?"
Yu Zhizhi explained very seriously: "I will decide based on the actual situation. The things I sell each time I set up a stall will be different, and it is not necessarily limited to food. This time I chose to sell cosmetics and face powder."
Hearing this, Guo Zhihua felt very wronged and heartbroken.
He had been staking out the vicinity of the Yun residence for several days in a row. He finally caught her setting up her stall and followed her all the way with great joy, only to find that the stall was set up in this strange place.
I could tolerate that.
To everyone's surprise, Yu Zhizhi is no longer selling food this time, but has started selling women's products.
As a grown man, why would he need such cosmetics?
Guo Zhihua said helplessly, "My mother passed away early, I have no sisters, and I am not married yet. Even if I buy these things, I won't be able to use them."
After saying that, he turned and left with a heavy step, his face full of disappointment.
Watching his departing figure, He Yang called out loudly, "Hey! Don't go! You can buy this lipstick as a gift for the woman you like, and this essential oil can actually be used by men too."
He tried it last night and it worked well.
Before leaving home today, he secretly applied essential oil to his ear canals, armpits, and arms, only to have his cousin smell it with her dog-like nose.
She even followed him around asking questions the whole way.
Later, he swindled five taels of silver from her using that bottle of camellia essential oil.
In the boss's words, he was taking advantage of someone he knew well.
