Chapter 198: Store Business is Booming
It is true. He is a very special person. He is so special that the only word to describe him is special. I didn't look at Shen Jing's expression. This guy is just a big carrot. I will wait for Zi Fu to come back and see what's going on. If it doesn't work, I will complain to her. He wants everyone. It's so annoying.
I heard Shen Jing move, and I was alert in my heart, holding the small pot in my hand. I couldn't beat him, so I charmed him. Maybe the action was too obvious. Shen Jing seemed to see it, so he sat back and asked about Ling'er's recent situation.
Isn't this a direct admission? "Don't worry, I've taken good care of it, and it won't lose any meat."
"That's good. Have a good rest and drink less. I'm leaving." This time, Shen Jing was seen climbing over the wall directly. I don't know who taught him to climb over the wall like this. He jumped over it like a carp. It looked very cool, but if he slipped, he would be gone.
It was really weird. We had been chatting for such a long time and I felt really good. I decided to go back to sleep. I went back to my room and locked the door. I checked carefully to make sure it was locked thoroughly. When I was about to drink water before going to bed, the water tasted weird.
It tasted like it was made from some herbs and wasn't very bad, just tasted weird. I stuck out my tongue twice and climbed onto the bed to rest. While I was lying there I was still very sober because of the effect of the alcohol. If you are too sober your mind will be filled with all sorts of random thoughts.
At first I was fantasizing that I was the heroine of the novel, and then I started thinking about things in this world. I got a headache whenever I thought about it, and it became even more uncomfortable when I thought about getting up early tomorrow to be the doorman. I had a good job of running the store, but it turned into feeling like going to work.
It wasn't like this before. Go to sleep quickly. The more I think about it, the more awake I become. "Don't you have to get up early tomorrow? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Nannan always pops up at times like this, scaring me as if my heart is made of iron. "Can you please stop being so startled? I was scared to death that day."
"I drank too much and can't sleep. What's wrong? No, let me sober up or make me pass out." I closed my eyes with a fearless attitude. Maybe it was because there was someone next to me, I felt safe all of a sudden and fell asleep while talking. Next time I feel sleepy, I will call Nannan to come with me. This hypnotic ability is no less than sleeping pills.
When I woke up, it was Hongdou who banged on the door frantically. The noise was so loud that I got up reluctantly. When I opened the door, I saw Hongdou pulling me away, saying that the shop was surrounded by people and we had to go buy something. Ling'er had already gone to prepare.
I suddenly came to my senses. It seemed that the time was just right. I thought it would take a few days. It was still possible to get things done. No rush, no rush. I couldn't be too anxious at this time. I seemed to hesitate for a while, but Hongdou urged me out the door. I really pushed me out the door.
I still have to sit down to save face, wearing a veil, in front of everyone. As soon as I came in, I saw Ling'er pacing back and forth anxiously, looking at the stall. Everything was ready, just waiting to be opened. This guy was fine at this time, I thought she would open the door in advance.
As soon as Ling'er saw me, she asked me when the door would open. Looking at her expectant eyes, I couldn't bear it and said, "Wait a little longer, let me have a meal." As soon as the door opened, people really flocked in, and I saw countless potatoes swaying in front of me.
I was still feeling annoyed. I saw Hongdou also came and was collecting money with Ling'er. I felt embarrassed if I didn't help. I was busy for the whole afternoon and didn't even have lunch. All the goods were gone.
Many customers went back without buying anything. Looking at Ling'er and Hongdou's tired yet happy faces, I felt less tired. However, running a store is really tiring. Hongdou pulled me aside to discuss excitedly.
"Miss, miss, you are so lucky. You suddenly became famous. At this rate, we will be rich soon." Looking at the money-grubbing looks of these two people, I feel helpless. There is no such thing as good luck. I have spent all this money myself.
I asked them to sort it out, record the account book and go back to rest. I went to the silk shop and brought well-decorated souvenirs to each of the employees. They said they were sold out. How could it be possible? It was not something expensive. I had prepared it for a long time in advance. How could it be gone?
This is hunger marketing, but this trick cannot be used frequently. It may work at the beginning. When I came to the shop, the shopkeeper started to flatter me as if he knew nothing. Flattery will never wear thin no matter how far it spreads.
I still benefited a lot from it. I handed the things to each person, and they all happily took them and flattered me. When the situation seemed to be almost ready, the shopkeeper came into the room to chat with me and talked about the progress of the opportunity.
"Miss, there are so many, I hope it's okay to deliver them." I definitely can't just deliver to one store, that would be too distracting, so I delivered to all the stores.
I shook my head and said, "It's not something expensive." I know how much stuff was used in it.
"Are they okay?"
"Miss, don't worry, everything will go smoothly." The plan before was that when the store opened, someone would happen to pass by and bring it to the girl in Manxianglou, and then the people in Manxianglou would use it, preferably on the 16th, because that was the day off.
I took a look when I was selling just now, and many of them were familiar faces. With so many girls rushing in, it would definitely attract people nearby to come and see what's going on.
"But, miss, I heard that some stores have already started to prepare. If you want to see the same thing, once there are too many stores..." This statement is very obvious. Once there are too many stores, the competition pressure will be too great, which is not good.
I have definitely thought about this. The more shops I have, the better. The more shops I have, the less likely people will become suspicious of me. I didn't want to save money in the beginning, so I opened very small shops so that I could take pictures faster.
I still didn't say these words. Thinking of Hongdou and Ling'er's smiling faces just now, I couldn't bear it. Sometimes it seems quite good to have a store that I care about. "Don't worry, with more stores, we can highlight our own goodness."
The competition between shops is always fierce, so you can't find the same things anywhere else. But there is my exclusive secret recipe in there, which must have been found after Nannan and Jinzhu helped me search for a long time. It is something very similar to cochineal.
Fortunately, this thing is easy to raise, and its yield is many times more than that of cochineal. Moreover, we are just ordering it now, and the various styles are not available yet. But we need to find a few good-looking girls to be models, and we can get started right away.
I started to go out for a stroll. Although I was wearing a veil, everyone knew that I was the owner. Along the way, many girls came to me and asked if I would have any stock for the next day. After I agreed to all of them, I just happened to find a few suitable ones.
I pulled them all into the store and saw Ling'er and Hongdou were still there. After asking them, they said they were very excited about saving money for the first time, so we just happened to be there together. Fortunately, my hands were not very clumsy, so I painted on the girls' faces according to the drawings I had drawn before.
After studying for an entire afternoon, I also taught Hongdou and Ling'er. The two of them learned very seriously, and soon began to draw a pattern in a very professional manner. These girls must be kept silent, because if they told them in advance, they would be in trouble.
This research is not the focus. The focus is definitely to let Ling'er and Hongdou learn this. It took three days to learn. The store was opened in the morning and practiced in the afternoon. The speed is quite fast. It took me a long time to practice drawing eyeliner before, but it only took me a short time to do this.
It seems that I can soon become a hands-off boss. The subsequent promotion is that as long as you buy something from our store, you can get a free painting. This gimmick is really more attractive. Now everyone has their flower ornaments painted and they admire each other for their beauty.
I was so tired that I couldn't get up from the bed. What's going on every day? I took good care of the store before, and the business was just average. Now this store that is about to close is doing so well. I'm almost going to become a dead dog.
Fortunately, several stores nearby are selling the same type of things recently, so my business seems to have decreased a little. However, it doesn't hurt my plan to work myself to death, so I still plan to hire a few people. But when I think about the fact that business won't be so good in the future, it would be a bit of a waste to keep them.
I still asked Ling'er and Hongdou for their opinions, and told them very tactfully that I didn't want to do it anymore and was exhausted. They said they wanted to discuss it, and I still respected their opinions, so I should take this time to have a good rest.
This is why the plot is too outrageous. We don't plan to keep this store open for a long time. We are afraid that Mr. Shen will find out and come to take control. If the store goes bankrupt, I will be speechless. It is better to live in Li's Mansion. Fortunately, no one knows what Mr. Shen is doing recently and he has not been going out.
I seriously doubt whether this guy went to the toilet in the room, and Mrs. Jiang didn't come back either. What's going on? I remember that at this time, everyone in the family should be together and scheming against each other. They don't even have time to talk. It's unscientific.
When I got home, I saw someone walking back and forth stealthily at the door. This person looked like Young Master Xiao. I was really tired and didn't want to deal with these things. Why did he appear in front of me at this time? It was so annoying.
I pretended I didn't see anything. This method really didn't seem to work. Along the way, I didn't know what was wrong with that person. He kept appearing in front of me. I really had to work overtime. Forget it, I'll just see what this guy is going to do. I was very lazy and turned invisible and followed Master Xiao to Ling'er's room.
There was indeed something wrong with these two guys. I saw Master Xiao walking back and forth in Ling'er's room, looking at the mirror, touching Ling'er's clothes, and then lying on Ling'er's bed. No matter how you look at him, he looked like a pervert.
Could this guy be a pervert? The more I thought about it, the more I disliked him. Should I tell Ling'er in advance? No, that's not right. Why would I have such an idea? While I was peeping at the door, I heard a voice coming from behind the door.
Why did Ling'er come back suddenly? She seemed to know that there was someone inside. She walked around the room for a whole circle before carefully pushing the door open. When she closed the door, she still had her back to it. She looked so insecure that it was hard not to believe that nothing was going on.
I decided to peek at the door. My waist hurt from all the peeping, so I thought about getting a stool from somewhere. After thinking about it, I decided to climb onto the roof. I could lie down, which was much more comfortable than this. When I climbed onto the roof, I started looking for a tile that had been left there before.
I had thought before that there must be such a place, so I dug out a remote area in advance. When I climbed up, I saw two people inside who seemed to be talking, but I didn't know what they were talking about. After a while, Ling'er stood up and took off her shirt.
I covered one eye, unable to believe what was happening before my eyes. How could she be so bold? When Ling'er pulled her top down below her chest, I saw bandages wrapped around her waist. What happened? Why were she wrapping bandages around her waist?
Even if she is pregnant, it has only been a short time. How could she be showing her pregnancy? After wrapping the bandages around her, her waist is indeed very slender, with no sign of bulge. Is this a kind of psychological comfort?
I was about to start cracking melon seeds when Master Xiao squatted down obsessedly, holding Ling'er's belly with both hands, as if there was something extraordinary inside. But there should be nothing inside. This Master Xiao was not an honest man.
As he was touching, one hand started to move up, but was quickly caught by Ling'er. Master Xiao was not angry. After Ling'er put on her clothes, she took the box of pills from Master Xiao's hand. After seeing it, Ling'er quickly took one and put it into her mouth.
Then he put away the rest. Finally, Master Xiao hugged Ling'er tightly once again and put some oil on her before leaving. When he left, he saw Ling'er alone, as if she had been put under a spell. She was sitting on the stool in panic, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
At this time, I, the messenger of comfort, had to appear. I slowly walked down from the roof and knocked on the door. No one responded for a long time. This shouldn’t be the case. I didn’t hear the sound of the door being pushed open just now. It should be that he just didn’t want to see me.
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep. When I was about to leave the sight of the door, I seemed to hear the door open. I turned back and saw that the door was open a crack, but I still decided to go back to rest. I was about to die of sleep and I still had to follow the plot.
I went back to my room and had a very comfortable sleep before getting up. It was morning and I saw Nannan lying next to me, sleeping soundly. I got up but didn't wake her up with such a big movement. I wanted to touch Nannan's cute little face, and then I heard Jinzhu calling in my ear.
It was really just a howl, but I couldn't hear what was said clearly. It seemed like it was directed at me, otherwise how could the noise not wake up my daughter? I got up carefully and went to the swing.
