"Where's Shopkeeper Su?" Ning Ruyu asked, frowning.
The waiter lowered his head and replied: "Shopkeeper Su went out because he had something to do." In fact, it was not that shopkeeper Su went out because he was too busy in the shop, so he went home directly. In front of the eldest lady, he naturally couldn't tell the truth. of.
Ning Ruyu looked at the people coming and going on the street, and then at her deserted shop. It was a busy time now, so why was her rouge shop so deserted?
Along her journey, no matter how bad the business was, there were always one or two customers in the shop.
"Why is the shop so deserted?"
The waiter glanced at Wan Zhuang across the street and said, "Since the rouge shop opened across the street, the business of our Shen Ji rouge shop has been getting worse and worse."
Originally, the business of their rouge shop was good, but as soon as the rouge shop across the street opened, all their business was taken away. Now, if their shop can sell five or six items, it is considered a good business.
It turned out that there were more shops competing for business. Ning Ruyu asked: "Are the things across the street cheaper than ours?"
The clerk shook his head: "It was just cheaper than ours in the first three days of opening, but now it's even more expensive than ours."
At first, they thought that their business would come back as soon as the half price for the first three days was over. However, it did not happen. The business on the other side was also getting better day by day.
Ning Ruyu and Lan'er looked at each other. This is strange. Usually, to compete for business is to fight on price. It is also a rouge shop. Naturally, the cheaper the business, the better. The business opposite is more expensive than theirs. Why is it better to live in their home? This is obviously abnormal!
Ning Ruyu looked at the shop opposite and saw at least a dozen customers inside, all of whom were well-dressed rich ladies. There were three women also wearing pink shirts, who seemed to be introducing them to the ladies.
Moreover, a few figures among those ladies looked very familiar to her. In the past, these people had bought rouge and gouache at her Ning family rouge shop.
Ning Ruyu looked at the three women in pink clothes opposite, and then at the boy in his shop. This rouge shop only sold things for women, so it would be more appropriate to replace the boy with a woman.
Lan'er said puzzledly: "The prices across the street are more expensive than ours, so how come the business is better than ours?"
"Because there is our house opposite. No, we have lipstick and loose powder that are not available in the entire Jiangzhou City." The guy still said it wrong. It is not that the entire Jiangzhou City does not have it, but the lipstick and loose powder that are not available in the entire Dongchen Kingdom.
Ning Ruyu hasn't been out much recently, let alone any tea parties, so she doesn't know about the lipstick and loose powder that have become popular in Jiangzhou City recently.
"Lipstick? Loose powder?"
The clerk nodded and said: "Lipstick is the lipstick that you touch on your mouth, and loose powder is the powder that you rub on your face. But the lipstick and loose powder on the other side are different from ordinary lipstick and powder. The lipstick on the other side comes in a round tube. In it, you can turn the paste out and back, and apply it directly to your mouth with the round tube, which is very convenient. There is no lead powder added to the loose powder, and the powder is fine and it is said to nourish the skin!"
There are also good things like this. There are such good things across the street. No wonder it can steal the business of their Ningji Rouge Shop.
"Where did they get this stuff?" They also went to Ning's Rouge Shop to get some lipstick and loose powder to sell. Wouldn't this business be able to come back? Moreover, they could sell it cheaper than the other side.
"They make it themselves, and the stock is small. As soon as it is available, it will be sold out."
