Chapter 495 The cannon-fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination essay (17)
In this way, they were convinced that the effect of making the skin firm and elastic was not fake, so they asked their servants to buy it back for free.
“Buy as much as you have!”
“I will bring all the newly arrived essential oils from Xu’s spice shop to my wife!”
The female relatives of several families made similar heroic speeches.
As a result, the threshold of Xu's spice shop was almost broken by servants from various houses.
Within three days, these two essential oils were sold out in all Xu’s spice shops.
Some women who only bought a few sets in the early stage and wanted to see the effect first became anxious and asked the shopkeeper to purchase the goods.
"Are you stupid if you don't make money? Why don't you hurry up and buy the goods! I will order fifty sets first, no! One hundred sets!"
“My young lady ordered two hundred sets.”
“My old lady ordered five hundred sets.”
Shopkeepers of each branch: Stop talking! Stop talking! It’s not that I don’t want to buy the goods, it’s that there are no more goods to buy!
They all came to the head shop manager to make a decision.
The head shopkeeper of the general store also felt very worried.
This is the first time I have a headache when a big business comes to me but there is no supply.
Sent a guy to Xujia Village to ask the owner if the essential oils were still in stock.
“Girl, shopkeeper Zhang from the main store sent a guy to ask if there are any essential oils left? He said that after the essential oils in the store are sold out, there are still many ladies and ladies waiting for them.”
Xu Kui broke out in a sweat and ran up the mountain to tell Xu Yin the news.
“But girl, we only have the last batch left in the still, and the lavender and rosemary on the mountain have been harvested.”
"Huh? Sold out again? So fast?" Xu Yin was quite surprised.
She can understand that the first batch of essential oils was sold out in a short time, out of curiosity about new things.
But the second batch, the third batch... these are all five batches sent, right? And one batch is sold faster than the other?
This made her wonder: Did she underestimate the purchasing power of the ancient market?
“No more spices to be produced? There’s nothing we can do. Anyway, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let’s give the guys in the fragrance shop a holiday. When spring comes, vetiver, roses, and jasmine will bloom one after another, and we can continue production again.”
Xu Yin is not as anxious as Xu Kui. If there is goods, sell them. What to sell if there is no goods? She couldn't produce it out of thin air.
“Ask the guy to go back and tell Shopkeeper Zhang that these two essential oils are just here to explore the market. In the spring of next year, more essential oils will be on the market. Please don’t be anxious and wait patiently.”
She put the previously blended perfume into small 5ml bottles and asked the clerk to take it back, and asked shopkeeper Zhang to give it to the ladies and ladies who did not get enough essential oil to appease them.
did not expect…
"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper! A few days ago, your shop gave my wife a small bottle of perfume called what? How many are in stock? My wife said I want them all."
"Shopkeeper! My young mistress also sent me to buy perfume. I don't care about the fragrance type. I can buy as many bottles as I want."
"Shopkeeper!..." Shopkeeper Zhang's head is getting bigger again.
But he didn’t dare to speak so bluntly like a girl, so he had to think about it tactfully:
"Everyone, I'm really sorry! These two perfumes were actually brought back overseas by someone when my husband and wife were still alive. Because they are extremely rare and not in large quantities, my wife kept them with my girl. Use it. This time, my girl felt ashamed of the wives and ladies in the family, so she divided a few bottles from her share and gave them to you. I really can't give more."
When the maids and mothers-in-law of each government came back to tell them, the women immediately felt that the perfume in their hands was precious, and they were not willing to use it. They hid it under the pillow and smelled it through the brown glass bottle a few times. They felt luxurious.
The female relatives who had bought a lot of essential oils and returned home were sulking, thinking about showing off when visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, when suddenly another perfume popped up, and now it was their turn to be sour.
So he sent someone to the Xu's Spice Shop and asked the shopkeeper casually: Does Miss Xu still have perfume on her hand? Their master is willing to exchange an equally precious treasure.
Shopkeeper Zhang: “…”
In the past, I was looking forward to the visit of these noble people, but now I am afraid of their visit. Because every time he comes here, he either buys essential oils that cannot be shipped, or buys the few perfumes that girls have. It’s so difficult for him!
But people insist on asking for the result.
He also said: "Shopkeeper, you might as well send a boy to ask your girl now. I'll wait for news here."
What can he do?
I had no choice but to wave my hand and send a smart guy to make another trip to Xujiacun.
Xu Yin couldn’t help but raise her forehead after listening to Xu Kui’s narration: “Perfume is really out of stock. I’m still thinking about it!”
Xu Kui knew that his girl made it herself, but people outside didn’t know, including the big shopkeeper, that the girl made it herself.
"Girl, do you think you can mix up two more bottles? Just say these are the last two bottles, or you are reluctant to use them and keep them for collection. When there is a chance in the future, let the merchant ships traveling overseas bring some back. What do you think? ?”
Xu Yin spread her hands and looked at Zi Yuan and Hong Qian: "You girls, I can't deliver the goods no matter what. It depends on whether you two are willing to share a small bottle."
The two maids looked at each other and smiled, ran back to the room, took out the perfumes they had hidden, and divided them into small bottles for Xu Kui to give to the waiter.
Xu Kui smacked his tongue: "Now that we work together, you two little girls are still the richest."
Xu Yin smiled and said, "You don't have to be envious. If I have a chance in the future, I will make a perfume suitable for men and give you a bottle."
Xu Kui scratched his head: "Don't all women like this stuff? There are actually some that are suitable for men?"
I added something in my mind: If a man uses this, wouldn’t it be too girly?
However, he did not dare to say that in front of the girl. At worst, the girl will reward him and give it to dad.
Old housekeeper with gray hair and beard: You are so filial!
The female dependents of Luocheng, the nobles, learned that there was no perfume in Xujia Qianjin's hands. Only the two bottles of the left were contributed.
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat deeply: It’s not easy!
The last two bottles of perfume were obtained by the prefect's wife and the old lady of Liu Yuan's wife's family respectively.
No matter how eager other ladies are, they would not dare to compete with these two people:
One is the wife of a local official, and the other is the richest old lady in the local area, and the two families are related by marriage. If they join forces, who can beat them?
I just hope that Xu’s Perfume Shop will bring back more perfumes from overseas.
The prefect's wife and the old lady of the Yuan's wife's family who got the perfume fulfilled their promise - they took out the treasures that they thought were as good as the perfume, put them in brocade boxes and sent them to Xu's spice shop.
The shopkeeper was worried and personally took the two brocade boxes to Xujia Village.
