The shopkeeper was also a woman named Xiao Niang. She was straightforward and honest, and she didn't put on airs in front of Shen Tangning.
The two got along quite well.
Shen Tangning hired several more helpers, all of whom were women. At that time, the social atmosphere was relatively open, and there was no rule that women could not show their faces in public.
Because her customers were all women, she believed that women were better able to understand customers' needs.
Chi Yan specially gathered a group of people together for a secret training session.
Shen Tangning went to see it once out of curiosity, and then refused to go again no matter what.
——
On the day the new store opened, Shen Tangning also arrived, but she was there as a customer observing.
Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, passersby lined the streets, their faces full of curiosity as they gathered to watch the spectacle.
"What kind of shop is this? What's its name...?"
"Peach Blossom Village, that sounds nice. It must sell rouge, right? Oh, I remember there used to be a rouge shop here. Has it changed owners?"
"Opening here will probably lead to losses! There are several cosmetic shops on this street!"
...
Listening to the discussions of others, Shen Tangning felt a little apprehensive. The success or failure of the opening day depended on this one move.
A burst of gong and drum sounds rang out, and the shopkeeper came out of the door with a big smile: "The new shop is opening, and I hope you will all do me the honor of coming and support us. For the first three days of the opening, everything in the shop will be sold at cost, and there will be free gifts for the larger purchases."
The crowd hesitated, but the shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's alright if you don't buy anything. We also have free fruits and snacks in the shop, feel free to try them."
Is there really such a good thing?
Winter fruits are not cheap, and many people are tempted by the prospect of getting a bargain and flock to the market.
Shen Tangning raised her eyebrows slightly, but her eyes showed no sign of relaxation. This attracted most of the customers who were there because they thought it was a good deal and they wouldn't miss out.
If you saw the prices of those things, you'd probably be scared off.
Sure enough, when someone asked the price, they immediately exclaimed in surprise: "How can a box of rouge be so expensive? You could buy several boxes of it at other stores!"
Xiao Niang patiently explained, "Our rouge and face powder are high-quality and made with the best materials. We guarantee that they will not cause any discomfort after application. If there are any imperfections, you can return or exchange them within seven days."
Can I return or exchange it within seven days?
That's something new.
...
Seeing that many people came out with sighs on their faces, Shen Tangning did not show any signs of distress.
A carriage approached, and the corners of her lips curved slightly:
The person she asked to help has arrived.
Gu Qingxu and Wen Yao arrived one after the other. After getting off the carriage, they searched through the crowd and spotted Shen Tangning.
Wen Yao stepped forward with a smile: "You seem to have a rare moment of leisure today."
Gu Qingxu glanced at the shop in front of her and smiled knowingly: "There's a newly opened shop here. Shall we go in and take a look?"
Wen Yao smiled mischievously: "Great, it just so happens that I'm almost out of rouge."
Shen Tangning had given prior notice, and both of them knew it was to help make things easier.
Upon entering, the two looked on with curiosity.
Xiao Niang greeted them with a smile: "Welcome, distinguished guests. What would you like to see?"
