The waiter lowered his head and replied: "Shopkeeper Su has something to do and is out."
In fact, shopkeeper Su didn't go out because of something, but because the shop was too busy, so he went home directly.
Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth in front of the eldest lady.
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 that their family is better off?
This is obviously not normal! 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 paying homage to those ladies. They introduce.
Moreover, some of the figures among those ladies looked very familiar to her.
In the past, these people all 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 sells things for women, so it would be more appropriate to replace the boy with a woman.
Lan'er said puzzledly: "The price on the other side is higher than ours, so how come the business is better than ours?"
"Because there is our house opposite. No, there is lipstick and powder that we don't have in the entire Jiangzhou City."
The guy was wrong. It wasn't that the entire Jiangzhou City didn't have the lipstick and powder, but that the entire Dongchen Kingdom didn't have the lipstick and powder.
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 waiter nodded and said, "Lipstick is the lipstick you put on your mouth, and powder is the powder you put on your face.
However, the lipstick and loose powder on the opposite side are different from ordinary lipstick and face powder.
The lipstick on the opposite side is in a round tube. 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, 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 can also 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."
