Yan Bao was in a good mood after receiving the reward and teaching the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Princess a lesson.
On the way back, I hummed in my heart: [Waves in the waves, sunny and cheerful pretty girl, sunny and cheerful pretty girl, my only specialty is smiling. Look at the corners of my mouth raised, sunny and cheerful pretty girl...]
Except for Xu Zhimo, all the Shen family members heard the happy song in Yan Bao's heart.
The tune is a bit strange, it sounds very light and the lyrics are very interesting, they are in plain language.
It makes people feel cheerful when listening to it.
Not long after returning from the palace banquet, the capital became even colder.
Yan Bao’s shop has been renovated and canned yellow peaches have been arranged.
Mrs. Shen chose a good day to open the Shen family shop, which only sold one product.
On the surface, the shop looks like Mrs. Shen's, but actually it belongs to Yan Bao.
Who made Yan Bao so young? If people knew that this shop was her idea, people who are too smart would be easily targeted. So let Madam Shen take the limelight, and Yan Bao hide behind the scenes.
Knowing his parents' plan, Yan Bao had no objection, as long as he could make money.
Anyway, the store's revenue will be split 20% to 80%, with Yan Bao taking 80% and Madam Shen taking 20%. This is Yan Bao's request. He can't let his mother just work without getting paid. Yan Bao would feel bad about it.
Mrs. Shen knew what Yan Bao was thinking and did not refuse. She kept the money and gave it to Yan Bao as a dowry. It would still belong to Yan Bao in the future.
The opening day was a good day, and it happened to be a holiday. Shen Shoufu almost went to the store to help in person, but Yan Bao finally sent them to the teahouse to have tea and not to get in the way in the store.
With Chief Minister Shen in the store, who would dare to go in and spend money?
On the first day of opening the store, many people passed by, and Yan Bao even organized a tasting event. No one had ever heard of canned fruit, so Yan Bao let them try it and only buy it if they liked it.
Yan Bao surveyed the market and found that two taels of silver was still too cheap. Five taels was more worthy of the wealthy people in the capital.
She is a profiteer who only makes money from rich people.
Many people who tried the food were not happy and just left after taking a look.
There were also people from wealthy families who came out to buy peaches. They tried a bite and found them cool, sweet and crisp, with thick flesh and a mouthful of peach fragrance. These peaches were not available in winter, but they were actually sold.
The customer's eyes lit up: "How much are these peaches?"
The waiter smiled and said, "One jar costs five taels of silver. This is a unique one. In the capital, if you want to enjoy a bite of peach fragrance in the middle of winter, you can only come to our Junxiji."
"My wife has had a poor appetite recently. She can try this. Five taels is too expensive."
The waiter smiled and persuaded him, "It's not expensive. It's not easy to eat peaches in winter. These are only available in summer. You won't be disappointed if you buy them for five taels. You won't be cheated if you buy them. Why don't you take a can home and try it?"
The customer frowned, and the waiter gave him another sample. The more he ate, the more he liked it. He gritted his teeth and spent five taels of silver to buy it. The worst that could happen was that he would be scolded by his master.
Some people are not short of money.
I heard that Dajin is unique and can't be eaten anywhere else.
In the capital, people are either royal relatives or aristocratic families. They are rich and powerful, and five taels of silver is nothing.
Moreover, the trend of comparison is quite serious. If you happen to come across something, you will buy it back to please the ladies. If the ladies are happy, you will definitely get a reward.
Thinking of this, those who have tried the canned yellow peaches gritted their teeth and bought one or two cans.
On the first day of opening, Junxiji's sales were not very good, with only fifty cans sold.
It's cold and not many people come out to buy things. It's next to a pastry shop, so I can take advantage of their customer flow. Otherwise, no one would come here at all.
Sales were not as good as expected, and Mrs. Shen was worried that Yan Bao would be depressed. Who knew that Yan Bao had already predicted this: [There is no advertising, and it is winter, everyone is staying at home, who would like to go out shopping! ]
[Luckily, I had anticipated this, so this little setback was nothing.]
[In order to increase my popularity, I can only rely on my mother! ]
Madam Shen raised her eyebrows. How could she help?
Shen Shoufu felt that those people were very short-sighted. Canned yellow peaches were so delicious. Who could afford to eat peaches in the middle of winter? They actually said it was expensive. It was winter now.
What's so expensive about canned yellow peaches? Is it possible that they don't work hard to make money? They should look for their own reasons and think about how they have worked hard over the years?
Brother Shen wanted people to buy more in the store to boost sales, but he found out he had no money.
Brother Shen discussed with Xu Zhimo privately and used his salary to buy it.
Xu Zhimo nodded in agreement. Anyway, she couldn't buy a few cans with Brother Shen's salary. At worst, she could eat them herself. Xu Zhimo really liked canned yellow peaches. They were sweet and juicy, and her mouth was filled with peach fragrance after every bite.
Brother Shen had no monthly salary, so he could only cheat his good brothers.
Pei Zijia spent fifty taels and bought ten jars to honor the elders in his family, especially his grandmother who had bad teeth. Old Mrs. Pei's eyes lit up as she bit into the steamed peaches.
The sweet but not greasy canned water pleased the old lady very much and she immediately gave five hundred taels to Pei Zijia and asked him to buy more to stock up. The old lady loved to drink it and she couldn't let anyone snatch it away from her.
Yan Bao didn't expect that the Pei family accounted for the majority of her sales in the first three days of opening.
After the opening, Yan Bao handed a piece of paper to Mrs. Shen. It was written by her. She could write a lot now, and writing was barrier-free: [I know it’s troublesome to hold a banquet. In order to increase the popularity, I can only ask my great nemesis mother to trouble me.]
Before Mrs. Shen finished reading, Chief Minister Shen couldn't wait to come over.
Brother Shen also stuck his head out.
Second Brother Shen was unwilling to fall behind, so he jumped behind them, took a look, and then jumped again and again, almost tiring himself to death.
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Yan Bao looked at Madam Shen eagerly, waiting for Madam Shen to speak.
After reading the note, Madam Shen looked up at Yan Bao.
