Chapter 22 Rouge Business
While the two were talking, the carriage had already entered the town.

Yao Shu smiled and didn't say anything more, but he thought in his heart that even if the second brother was a hooligan, he would still be the brightest of the hooligans.

Moreover, the second elder brother is handsome on the outside, humorous on the inside, and takes good care of his family on weekdays. Thinking about it this way, the second sister-in-law is really a winner in life.

The Yao family's cloth shop is located on the busiest street in the town. On weekdays, there is a shopkeeper and a clerk in the shop, and Yao Feng comes to check the accounts every half a month.

On weekdays, I help out with some chores at home.

When Yao Chao and Yao Shu arrived, they had just opened the door, and the waiters were sweeping in front of the Buzhuang gate.

Seeing the two of them, the waiter hurriedly shouted into the store: "The shopkeeper! The second master is here!"

Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe with a clear face came out and bowed to Yao Chao: "Hey! How come the second master has time to come to the cloth village today?"

Then he looked at Yao Shu again, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "This is Miss, right?"

Yao Chao nodded, and introduced to Yao Shu: "This is Shopkeeper Liu in the store. Our family's cloth shop now depends on Shopkeeper Liu's hard work inside and out."

Yao Shu smiled back and saluted, "Master Liu has good eyesight."

"Second master, miss, please come in quickly! Let's come in and talk!"

As he said that, shopkeeper Liu called his staff to make tea and light a charcoal fire.

Yao Chao asked the coachman to move the two boxes of rouge from the carriage to the cloth shop. Since the boxes had no lids, shopkeeper Liu could see dozens of neat boxes of rouge at a glance.

He has been in business for so many years, and he has a sharp eye, so he immediately saw the difference between this box and the ordinary rouge box.

He was not polite to his boss, he just asked, "Where did Miss get this rouge box?"

As Yao Shu walked into the house, he turned his head and said to the shopkeeper, "I found someone to beat me myself."

Shopkeeper Liu picked up a box of rouge, looked carefully at the small box the size of a palm in his hand, and then praised: "Wooden boxes are common, but I have never seen one with lacquer and engraved characters. I think it would have taken a lot of money for the carpenter." A bit of ingenuity."

Yao Shu pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't tell the shopkeeper that he brought out a carved box of rouge.

The three of them were seated, Yanzhi was also tidying up, Yao Chao was lazily drinking hot tea while leaning on the back of his chair, Yao Shu then discussed with shopkeeper Liu how to run the Yanzhi business.

"It's just winter, and we don't need to rush to sell our rouge. We only put [-] boxes in the cloth shop in the first month, and it's all sold out. We only let customers come back next month."

Shopkeeper Liu had doubts in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to interrupt, and only listened to Yao Shu speak slowly.

"There is also a reason for selling rouge. It is only placed in the most conspicuous place of the cloth shop and lined up in a row; The quantity brought back is not large each time, so there are only twenty; and only customers who buy enough for a bolt of cloth can buy this rouge in the shop."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded secretly, and asked again: "How much is each box worth?"

Yao Shu said, "A box of five hundred Wen."

Shopkeeper Liu frowned slightly, and commented: "It's a little more expensive."

Yao Shu smiled, unfolded the picture scroll he had been holding in his hand, and said: "The most indispensable thing in the town is rich people, and the more expensive they are, the more expensive they are, but as long as the method is right, people will come to buy them. The shopkeeper is here Where the rouge is placed, hang such a picture."

Shopkeeper Liu took a closer look, and found that the scroll detailedly depicts carved buildings and painted buildings, rockery and ponds, and among the clusters of flowers is a young girl dressed in rich and brocade clothes.

The young girl's face was like a spring twilight crabapple, and because of the misty and light blush on her face, she looked more and more romantic.

Hanging such a painting on the rouge table, could it be to tell others how the rouge smudges on the woman's shiny and white face, and how it outlines the charming style?

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help clapping his palms, and said with a smile, "Good painting! Good idea!"

Yao Shu put the picture scroll away again, put it on the side of the tea table, and said to shopkeeper Liu: "Just sell it slowly. If there are regular customers of the cloth shop, especially women who have no shortage of money at home and are well-connected, they will also sell it slowly." You can give her a box. Just be careful, don’t give it to everyone, just give it to one or two customers.”

The Yan Dynasty did not have many restrictions on women. Whether they were married or not, women were never restricted from going out, so women often went out to shop and buy things.Just talking about doing business, there are still fewer women.

Earlier, Yao Feng had greeted shopkeeper Liu, saying that his little sister was going to do the rouge business. Although shopkeeper Liu didn't say anything, he had an attitude of dispensation in his heart.

Now hearing Yao Shu's various ideas about selling rouge, this well-informed businessman became more and more excited.

"It looks like giving away Rouge for free, but it's actually asking customers to help us promote it? Especially for sociable women, as long as Rouge is good..."

Hearing this, Yao Shu took out a few boxes from the rouge box, opened them and handed them to shopkeeper Liu: "The shopkeeper can open the lids for these unfilled rouge boxes for the customers to try; If you think it’s good, you won’t have to worry about not being able to sell it.”

Shopkeeper Liu subconsciously took the rouge box, and saw that the rouge inside the box was pure in color, delicate and smooth.

Although he is a man, he has also seen the rouge on his wife's dressing table, which looks far worse than the box in his hand.

He is quick-witted, holding the rouge in his hand, and quickly calculating the several methods Yao Shu said in his mind.

"Sure! This rouge business is doing well, so it will naturally drive the business of Cloth..."

Yao Shu exchanged some other ideas with shopkeeper Liu, and the two became more and more absorbed in their conversation, not noticing the strange expression on Yao Chao's face beside him——

The little girl has never liked to use her brain, why come up with so many messy ideas now?And this idea seems to be feasible.

He knows his own wife very well, but he doesn't have that ability...

There must be someone behind the scenes.
