After hearing that she was going to sell lip rouge, some people left.
Seeing the remaining small group of people, He Yang stamped his foot in anxiety, "Boss, what do we do?"
Yu Zhizhi gently patted his shoulder: "Don't panic, I have a plan."
Although no one wanted to come to the stall to buy anything, she could apply various shades of lipstick to her lips and demonstrate to them.
That way, even if they were standing not far away, they could see her clearly, and she was sure she could attract their attention.
Just as Yu Zhizhi was about to take out a lipstick to demonstrate, a strong and powerful voice suddenly rang out.
"Miss Yu, give me a lipstick."
Upon hearing such forthright words, Yu Zhizhi raised her eyebrows and immediately stopped selecting lipstick.
He Yang exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Mrs. Chen? She's much more generous and forthright than her husband!"
Yu Zhizhi asked in confusion, "You know her?"
"She is Chen Daman's wife."
Yu Zhizhi suddenly realized that she was Chen Daman's legal wife.
She looked at the woman from the Chen family with curiosity. She was tall, with a resolute face, and dressed simply but neatly.
Although she lacked the delicate demeanor of a typical woman, her bold and unrestrained temperament was refreshing.
Yu Zhizhi smiled slightly at her and said softly, "Madam Chen, don't you want to ask about the price of this lipstick? Our lipsticks here aren't cheap, they cost one tael of silver each, but they're great value for money, so you can rest assured."
These words immediately drew gasps of surprise from those around them, and everyone began to discuss them.
"Wow, that's so expensive! One tael of silver can buy several pieces of lipstick at a cosmetics shop."
"Yes, it is indeed a bit expensive."
However, Mrs. Chen smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, I can still accept this price. Actually, I came here today to thank you. Even if you sold it for two taels of silver, I would still buy it."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhizhi's mouth dropped open in surprise. She pointed to herself with her left index finger and said, "Thank me?"
Mrs. Chen nodded in response: "Yes. Last time, it was because my husband took his concubine to Putuo Mountain to buy ice cream that he was keeping outside. As a result, he was discovered, and that's how I found out that he was secretly using the money I worked so hard to earn to support his concubine."
“If it weren’t for the rather unusual location you chose for your stall, my husband definitely wouldn’t have dared to be so blatant. So, thank you so much.”
Yu Zhizhi suddenly understood after hearing this.
Therefore, Madam Chen's success in catching her husband cheating was partly due to her efforts.
That's amazing.
At this moment, He Yang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Boss, may I help Mrs. Chen choose a color?"
Yesterday, the eldest brother had already given him and Xiao Tao some training, so he planned to use Chen's wife as a guinea pig to practice on.
Yu Zhizhi immediately agreed, "Okay."
If he makes a mistake, she can choose another shade that suits Mrs. Chen.
He Yang took out a bright red lipstick, then hummed a tune and said in a serious tone, "Madam Chen, I specially chose a lipstick shade that suits you perfectly."
Then, he glanced at Yu Zhizhi beside him and said, "Boss, can I borrow your lips?"
After saying that, He Yang began to carefully apply lipstick to Yu Zhizhi.
First, outline the lips, then fill in the lip shape.
He finished applying it very quickly.
If Xiao Tao hadn't praised him, she honestly wouldn't have trusted his skills without a mirror.
However, he picked it up pretty quickly.
He Yang pointed at Yu Zhizhi's lips and began to show off: "Madam Chen, aren't these gorgeous red lips beautiful?"
Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up, and she praised, "It's so beautiful! The color is more vibrant than the lip rouge I bought before, and it looks moisturizing."
She could already imagine herself wearing this lipstick, exuding an aura of dominance and captivating everyone with her beauty.
The women standing next to her were equally amazed.
He Yang began to keep everyone in suspense: "This bright red lipstick not only brightens your complexion but also doesn't fade easily. Do you know why it's especially suitable for you?"
Mrs. Chen was also very supportive: "Tell me about it."
"Because this shade is also called 'Royal Red,' applying it will instantly make you outshine all the glamorous wildflowers on the roadside, achieving the effect of 'the legal wife never dies, and all of you are just concubines.'"
The thought of her husband keeping a mistress outside filled Chen's wife with hatred, and this lipstick for the legal wife was indeed very suitable for her.
And it suits her status very well.
She's the legal wife; if she wears this lipstick, it'll definitely blind that concubine. Let's see how she tries to cause trouble.
"Give me two."
"Okay!"
He Yang felt a great sense of accomplishment after closing two deals at once.
So, he struck while the iron was hot, enthusiastically addressing the eager young women: "This 'official red' dress is limited in quantity, first come, first served. If you want to prove your status, hurry and buy it!"
Soon, even the ladies who were the principal wives in the household were tempted.
Who wouldn't want to outshine everyone else in front of their concubine?
Yu Zhizhi was truly impressed by He Yang's smooth operation.
It seems he has the potential to become the number one lipstick seller in Chu Yun Kingdom.
After Mrs. Chen left, a group of onlookers, eager for a good show, arrived.
They all came to join the fun after hearing that Yu Zhizhi had set up a stall selling rouge and face powder in front of Xu's wine shop, to see what kind of trouble she was up to and why she would be so foolish as to set up a stall in such a gloomy place.
As more and more people gathered, Yu Zhizhi immediately started making a fuss.
“We have more than one shade here. I see some women in the crowd who are about my age and not yet married. There’s a shade that would be perfect for you.”
Seeing the gazes directed at her, Yu Zhizhi knew that they had been instantly captivated by her words.
She skillfully applied the lipstick to Xiaotao's lips, saying, "This light nude pink color makes her look like she's not wearing any makeup, very pure and lovely."
One of the young men opposite immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "This lipstick is indeed very beautiful, much more beautiful than the lip glosses I've seen women wear."
Yu Zhizhi didn't expect that this young man would be so savvy, taking the initiative to come to her door to act as a shill.
"This shade is a 'man-slaying' color. It not only makes your skin look brighter, but it also easily attracts men's attention. If you have a man you like, you can buy one and try it. You might be surprised by the results. That gentleman just now was immediately attracted to this 'man-slaying' color."
He Yang grinned and said to the group of women, "Everyone, don't hesitate, come and buy it!"
Today, Lin Qianyu came to Jinghe Street specifically to buy wine, intending to give it as a congratulatory gift.
She happened to pass by here and listened to Yu Zhizhi's vivid explanation. After seeing Xiao Tao wearing a "man-slaying" lipstick, she looked much younger, more beautiful, and more gentle and charming. She was immediately brainwashed.
So she immediately ordered her maid, "Go and buy two lipsticks in a 'man-slaying' shade."
"Yes, miss."
