Chapter 51 Business is booming
Shen You's expression remained unchanged, "It is traditional to give gifts to relatives, friends and customers during festivals."
Although she used to think that going through this kind of formality was tiring and useless, and sending them back and forth was just an exchange,
But after starting your own business, you have to do this.
Wen Zhi's gaze passed over the tall gift boxes and landed on the open wooden food box on the table. His eyes paused slightly,
"Is it okay to choose this among the things in Daqi Palace?"
"You actually saw it right away." Shen You was a little suspicious. What was he doing in Daqi?
"If you don't mind, I've touched the snacks on each floor. You can eat whatever you want in this room, but you have to leave the food box for me."
Wen Zhi really didn't mind and ate the remaining three pieces.
"By the way, are you here now because you have something to do with me?" Shen You asked.
"I was passing by, so I came to ask when the shop will open next time." He picked up the phone and continued, "I saw the news online as soon as I came in."
That is to say, there was nothing else to do. Before Wen Zhi left, Shen You stuffed two cakes into his hand with the idea of giving away some.
Beautiful name: Mooncakes from hometown
Wen Zhi sighed resignedly and walked out of the shop.
After he left, Shen You checked the doors, windows and systems, locked the door, got in the car and left the city.
At the same time,
The most prosperous area of Daqi Capital.
There are several carriages parked in front of a shop. Judging from the specifications, you can tell that they are either rich or expensive.
Zhao Wanyi rushed into the store in a hurry and confirmed that what was sold here was the lipstick she used.
But the kind of color that she fell in love with the first time she saw it was not available here.
Zhao Wanyi's mood relaxed a lot.
She sat there with an unquestionable attitude in her voice, "I want all the goods from the Western Regions you have in your store."
"What about pastries or moon dumplings? I want five portions."
The clerk in the store half lowered his head and looked embarrassed, "There are rules in Miss Zhao's store. You can only buy one copy of each item."
After the news spread this morning, the store has never been so busy.
When they first heard the prices of these things, they thought the owner was crazy. Who would they sell them to?
Who knew the store would be so popular the next day.
These goods from the Western Regions can only be bought by high-ranking families in the capital, and these ladies and ladies all want to buy more.
But there are only so many things in total.
How dare you refuse if you switch to an ordinary store.
Zhao Wanyi was about to have a seizure when she saw that the person in charge of the store was actually Liu Zheng, so she gave up.
Liu is from His Highness the Crown Prince's side. He just returned from Yunzhou State a few days ago after serving a meritorious service. No one will offend him for this matter.
So Mrs. Zhao went to Liu Zheng and asked privately, "Mr. Liu, there are many people in our Hou Mansion. Let's buy less Rouge. Can we sell two more boxes of pastries?"
Liu Zheng pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while,
"Look, can I sell you an extra box? Don't tell anyone about this.
It's really not enough. His Royal Highness, Lord Gongsun of Qintian Prison, and the Prime Minister's Mansion all said they wanted to buy this kind of moon cake, and some people in the palace also wanted to try it. ”
Listening to the names of these people in the capital who were no worse than the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Zhao couldn't say any more.
We can't let these people give up their share to the Marquis Mansion. Even the Marquis wouldn't dare to say this.
"Can you ask the dim sum cook to make more? We, the Marquis, will give him a silver reward."
This snack is no longer a snack, but a status symbol. Just look at the pattern of the pastries, they are really elegant, with white and lavender-dyed skins, and green ones. Even if you don’t eat them, they look very respectable when placed on the table.
Liu Zheng sighed. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not agree to sell an extra copy, but he still had to give it to the Hou Mansion.
"The cook from the Western Regions will go home for the holidays after finishing this batch. Moreover, there are only so many raw materials shipped from the Western Regions, so he can't make more if he wants to. As long as there are more, there is no way that my shop will not make this money. .”
Everyone in the capital knew that the Liu family had indeed fallen into decline before. This shop was still the dowry of Mrs. Liu's family, and now the Liu family needed money.
Mrs. Zhao did not doubt that he was there, "Okay, then two boxes."
The clerk packed it neatly and handed it to the Zhao family's maid.
When leaving the shop, Zhao Wanyi looked at the envious eyes of others, raised the corners of her lips, and elegantly bent over and got into the carriage.
Liu Zheng smiled while looking at the abacus. An ordinary shop might not be able to make so much money in a month, let alone a day.
He had already guessed that the supply of dim sum would exceed the demand. Shopkeeper Shen had eight in a box, so he changed it to a smaller box and put six in it, as well as two small portions.
Not only can you make more money, but it’s also less likely to offend people.
Those cosmetics are also selling well. The gentle plum-colored lipstick that Shopkeeper Shen said is almost sold out, as well as the rouge.
"I'll add 20 taels, and I want this last box."
"20 taels? You have the nerve to say that? I'll add 50 taels."
The two ladies from aristocratic families raised their hands and threw the banknotes on the table. The waiters did not dare to offend,
In the end, Liu Zheng sent the steward to tell him that he would only settle the matter on a first-come, first-served basis without charging more money.
But one afternoon, all these items were almost sold out, and there was a sign outside the shop saying that the snacks were sold out.
The wealthy businessman who couldn't buy it spread the word that he was willing to pay 500 taels of silver for a large box of moon dumplings.
The transfer price of perfume outside is as high as one thousand taels.
Many people are willing to pay for it, but few are willing to resell it. Those who are willing to resell it only do so because of favors and face.
That evening, a carriage carrying two boxes of cakes drove into the palace gate.
At this time, Shen You was still stuck on the road eating spicy strips and nibbling on the duck collarbone.
During the festival, traffic jams are common. There was a husky sitting behind the car next to me, and I was crying when I saw her eating.
Shen You called home on the way, and the journey that was originally three hours was postponed to more than four hours.
When she returned to the familiar old shabby little staircase house, her family was waiting for her to eat.
Her parents went downstairs to pick her up and help her get her things. In this old community, the neighbors usually like to chat in the yard, and everyone knows when there is any movement.
Seeing Shen You driving back with large and small bags, the neighbors looked sideways.
"Your Shen You is still awesome. He brought you so many good things when he came back. This is a bird's nest, it's not cheap."
"It was given to me for the holidays." Shen You took out the mooncakes that were going to be given to the neighbors.
Neighbors who have a good relationship with the family are very happy to receive moon cakes. The relatives of the Shen family are not good, but their daughter is capable, and the old couple will be able to live together in the future.
Some people were sitting next to me and said, "Is it great to buy some things? My son gave me three thousand yuan yesterday. No matter how nice the girl is, what's the use? She still has to be a son."
"Have you broken your guard with this little thing? Hurry up and ask your son to buy it for you. He won't be reluctant to buy it for you, right?"
Shen You chuckled lightly and took the things upstairs.
Ignoring the livid face of the sinister neighbor behind him.
