You need to buy the shelves used in the shop, as well as the store plaque.
For this matter, Old Man Xu asked Fang Changxu to introduce him to a carpenter's shop with reasonable prices, and he did all the work one by one.
It's right in the city, and it's convenient to have it ready and delivered to the store.
These will only take a few days, and there is no need to decorate the rest. Once the layout is arranged and the goods are supplied, it will be opened immediately after a while.
So, the main thing is to sell things.
If a sanitary ware store sells toothpaste, it cannot but sell toothbrushes.
Xu Yinyin could make a toothbrush through research, but it was troublesome and not profitable. The ordinary toothbrushes in the toothbrush shop next door only cost a penny each.
But when Old Man Xu thought about it, if he was looking for someone to buy the goods and sell them, he might as well give the business to someone else. Not to mention how much he earned, it was still an income, right?
He remembered that Shi Laoer had been learning how to kill pigs for half a year, and he was the best at plucking pig hairs. Later, he made a toothbrush for his daughter out of pig hairs on a whim. He thought it was easy and hassle-free, so he did more.
, I gave a few handfuls to my in-law, Old Man Zhou, and his uncle turned around and gave him a handful.
Therefore, Old Man Xu found Shi Laoer and told him about the matter.
When Shi Laoer heard about this good thing, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He said repeatedly: "Uncle Xu, don't worry, I will do a good job in brushing your teeth so that your shop can sell well!"
Yangliu Alley gradually became agitated, and each shop opened its doors one after another.
Today, the three brothers Xu Chunhe and the three brothers Xu Dalang all transformed themselves into store clerks, greeting customers who came in with smiles and answering all their questions.
This street has everything you need, including teahouses and restaurants, tooth brushing shops and grocery stores, lantern shops and clothing shops, cloth shops and wine shops, silver shops and silk and satin shops. It is the best place for people to go shopping and have fun. It is lively all day long.
There is no shortage of people watching the excitement wherever you go.
Before that, Xu Yinyin took advantage of her spare time to research and make lipstick and balm.
Although Old Man Xu didn't ask any of his family members to do the work, he wanted to help after all, so he specially asked a few families to tell them that mint, perilla, and various flowers were available on the mountain, and they could be dried and given away.
Come, he will give you money.
Neighbors had long been curious about this shop. Now they spread the word, and everyone knew that this shop sold unique things that no one else had. At that moment, everyone rushed into the shop.
When Old Man Xu heard that he wanted this, he didn't ask much. He immediately asked Fang Changxu to help inquire. He also spent some money and quickly found the beeswax.
There is also balm, which is made in the same way. It is made by using specially customized small round ceramics that are filled and solidified.
Beeswax is not difficult to find. Wherever bees are kept, if honey is sold, beeswax can be purchased.
Last night, everything that should be placed on the shelves was neatly placed.
When the auspicious time came, Old Man Xu pulled off the red silk in front of everyone, and the five characters "Xu Ji Sanitary Ware Shop" came into view.
Before dawn, everyone got up one by one, preparing to open the door with excitement and nervousness.
We are all relatives, we don’t say anything, just do it as it should be. To put it plainly, I will give you a penny for every two brushes of these ordinary toothbrushes. The ones that are polished more finely and the bristles are finer.
Give me two cents, one for delivery and one for settlement, and I promise not to default on you."
For several days, the workshop made great progress. Wuya and Sanlang were given full authority to make the toothpaste, and a lot of goods were prepared.
There are two shops. In this one, there is a counter on one side and two shelves against the wall on the other side, with toothbrushes and toothpaste on them.
The two shops with door plaques wrapped in red silk are not conspicuous among them.
The opening date is scheduled for October 21st, so everything goes well.
This kind of shop is the first in Fucheng.
After Xu Chunhe and others went to work for a day, they quit their jobs with the manager and came back to concentrate on helping the family.
Time passed by, and it was dawn.
Xu Yinyin took Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan to boil shampoo, one pot with one flavor, and prepared a lot of them.
I heard that this store is going to open a sanitary ware store, selling products that are specially designed to wash your hair, face, bath, teeth, and laundry.
They have never heard of toothpaste, shampoo, soap, and soap.
The neighbors all knew that this shop was opening today, and they all looked at it with some curiosity.
Soon, pedestrians passing by were attracted by this place and stopped. Knowing that a new shop was opening here today, they all looked inside curiously.
On the first day of business, everyone in Old Xu's family went into the city to work. Even those who were crowded with oil residues stayed in the shop that night and did not go back out of the city.
If there is too much, I am afraid that it will not be sold out and will go bad. Moreover, a lot of money has been invested in buying raw materials.
Most people, when washing their hair, bathing, washing clothes, etc., use plant ash or soap locust. For more sophisticated people, they use bath beans, polyporus, and the like. As for cleaning their teeth, they use salt and tooth powder.
There are also pedestrians on the street one after another.
Both of these things require a necessary raw material, which is beeswax.
Old Man Xu said: "This is not a big deal, it's just an income. You don't have to be anxious. Do it well and slowly. You can provide me with a hundred handfuls a month, which is about right when you think about it."
This matter is simple. It is convenient for the wife and girls at home to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.
Use tea seed oil and various essential oils, which she prepared in advance, such as orange, camellia, mint, plum blossom, lilac, etc.
Old Man Xu cupped his hands from a distance and said: "Everyone, Xu Ji Sanitary Ware is offering a big promotion today. Buy one, get one free. There are many discounts. Don't miss it if you pass by. Come in and take a look!"
There are also soaps, soaps, and shampoo bars. These are almost ready, enough to last for ten days.
Shi Laoer thanked him repeatedly and returned home happily. He told his family about such a good thing, and then he and Shi Laoer went around collecting pig hair.
How can people not be curious about things they don’t know?
Therefore, everyone is secretly waiting for this shop to open.
The shop was almost ready. On the opening day, Old Man Xu even found someone who knew how to read it and looked at the auspicious zodiac.
Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, old man Xu, who had his hair combed meticulously and was specially pulled by his granddaughter to apply ointment, raised his head and held his chest high. He walked out of the shop with a slight smile, stood up, and cleared his throat.
Speak loudly.
The prepared oil and beeswax are mixed according to a certain ratio and then heated, then put into the lipstick tube, cooled and solidified, and finally the lipstick tube lid is sealed.
Xu Yinyin got beeswax and asked the Deng family to order a specially made bamboo lipstick tube, so she started making it.
In another room, there are four shelves, two shelves for shampoo and shampoo bars, one shelf each for soap and soap, and one shelf each for lip balm and balm.
The first group and the second group of people sneaked in with their hands behind their backs to watch the excitement. They asked a lot of questions and asked about everything in the shop. But they bought it as soon as they came.
That's not two.
Groups of people came in and left, and the faces of Xu Chunhe who were not good at smiling were almost stiff. Seeing this situation, they also felt a little chilled.
This won’t be able to sell even the wages on the first day of opening, right?
Just when I was thinking about this, someone strode in from outside. When I entered the door, I shouted: "Is there toothpaste for sale here? Pack ten cans for me! I'll give it away!"
