Reality is always much crueler than ideal. In a whole day, only two bottles of Ruyi Dew were sold. If Li Yi hadn't seen the young woman who entered the store later and was a little moved, but obviously hesitant about the price, he would have decisively sold five bottles.
Even with the big discount promotion, I'm afraid I can only make one business today.
This time, luck seemed not to be on his side.
In my two lifetimes, I have not done much business. I have read a lot of marketing books, but when it comes to actual application, I still have no idea at all.
In the afternoon, I thought of a problem. There were only three words "Ruyi Fang" hanging there, and others had no idea what the store was doing. So I found a wooden board and erected it at the door to tell the effect of Ruyi Dew and its functions.
All prices are clearly marked.
After that, more and more people came into the store to see it, but when they heard that it cost a few cents to buy such a small bottle of mosquito repellent, they immediately lost interest.
For most ordinary people in the city, if they are bitten by a mosquito, they spit on it and spread it evenly. One tael of silver can buy as much food as they spend on it. Isn't this a disease?
However, several people asked Li Yi whether he could sell the sign at the entrance of the store. They seemed to admire the calligraphy on it very much, and the price even reached ten taels of silver.
Of course Li Yi didn't agree. Could it be that he could only rely on his talent to make a living?
A moment later, when he went out to look again, the board was missing!
After being angry, I could only curse the damn thief a few times, and wait until tomorrow to find another wooden board, this time to nail it to the door...

Inside the shop, the little maid held her chin with one hand and watched the pedestrians coming and going outside the door. For a long time, when a strange sound came from her belly, her pretty face turned slightly red and she turned to look at Li Yi.
He said softly: "Uncle, I'm hungry..."
He hasn't eaten since morning. Even Li Yi felt a little hungry. He rubbed the little maid's head and said, "Okay, let's go out to eat first."
Although the room at the back of the shop has been tidied up and there is a small kitchen, Li Yi is not in the mood to cook himself. He closes the shop door and solves his stomach problem with Xiaohuan at the noodle stall outside.
I originally thought of taking the little maid to a higher-end restaurant to eat something good, but the little maid couldn't forget the street noodle stall last time, so in the end the two of them only spent a few pennies.
After dinner, he didn't go back to the shop. There were some things that Li Yi had to go home and think about again.
Every industry has its own unique way. Before, I took it for granted.
In Liuyezhai, Li Yi was lying on the bed, digesting more business theories and sales knowledge books in his mind. In Qing'an Fucheng, somewhere in a high-walled compound, a charming young woman took a bath and cooked the food herself.
After drinking ginseng soup, I walked to the door of a certain room.
"Second Madam." The two servants at the door said respectfully.
"Have you gone to bed, sir?" the woman asked softly.
"No, the master hasn't come back yet. A new batch of official documents have just been sent in, and they are still in the study." A servant responded in a low voice.
The woman nodded, took the ginseng soup, and walked in a certain direction.
In the study, the middle-aged man finished reviewing a file, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, a look of fatigue appeared on his eyebrows. After a moment, he opened his eyes again and took out an official document. Before he opened the study door,
Was pushed away.
Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man frowned. When he was working on weekdays, he was most afraid of being disturbed. If the servants didn't get his instructions, they would never dare to come in at this time. After reading the official documents all night, they felt dizzy.
He was feeling irritated and was about to reprimand him. When he looked up and saw the person coming, his expression calmed down.
"Madam, why don't you rest?" He put down the official document in his hand, walked over, took the tray from her hand, put it on the table aside, and said softly.
His wife died young, and now he has only one concubine in the family. He is usually busy with official affairs and the affairs of the house, but this second wife takes care of everything in an orderly manner and never makes him worry. She can be regarded as a virtuous housekeeper.
"I am busy with official duties, but you must also pay attention to your health. I made some ginseng soup for you. I drank it while it was hot. It is not too late to read those official documents." The woman stretched out her hand to help him adjust his collar, with a smile on her face.
said.
"Thank you, Madam." The middle-aged man held her hand and patted it. He smelled some strange smell coming from her body and was shocked. However, he didn't care and drank a bowl of ginseng soup.
He said: "It will take some time to finish reading the official documents here. Madam, please go and rest first."
"I'm not tired, I'm here to accompany you," the woman said with a smile.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he didn't say anything else. He picked up the official document on the table again and read it carefully.
The woman walked slowly behind him, stretched out her emerald green hands on his shoulders, and began to squeeze them slowly.
From time to time, he smelled a faint fragrance in his nose. The middle-aged man felt that his spirit was gradually lifted. The fatigue just now was swept away. He could not help but speed up when he read the official documents. When he reached out his hand again, there was no more
Official documents are available.
The watchman's voice came from outside the study, and it was only then that he was surprised to find that it took him less than half an hour to read the official documents that usually took him an hour.
When he turned his head, he realized that the woman had fallen asleep on the desk beside him.
Quietly looking at her slightly tired features, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a hint of guilt in his heart.
She is always focused on official duties, so is she being left out in the cold?
He took a thin blanket from the bed in the study and was about to cover her when the woman slowly opened her eyes, stood up, looked at him, and asked, "Has the master read the official document?"
"Madam, these years have really been hard on you." The middle-aged man held her hand, sighed, and hugged her into his arms.
"Master..." She had never seen such a tender side in him. The woman felt her nose was sore and almost shed tears.
The husband and wife talked about their love for a while. The woman lay in the arms of the middle-aged man and felt some changes in his body. Her pretty face suddenly turned crimson and she whispered: "Master, here is
study……"

A moment later, among the bed curtains in the study, the middle-aged man held the woman in his arms, smelled her scent, and asked doubtfully: "What other spices did Madam use tonight? I smelled it for my husband."
Afterwards, I felt particularly energetic and even processed official documents much faster."
"spices?"
The woman lay in his arms with a satisfied look on her face. After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't used any incense..."
Before she finished her sentence, she suddenly remembered that when she was taking a bath at night, with the attitude of giving it a try, she put a few drops of something called "Ruyi Dew" that she bought on the street today into the bathtub...
Could it be because of this?
Yes, the handsome shopkeeper seemed to have said at that time that this Ruyi Dew has the effect of refreshing the mind...
Could it be that the reason why the master was so excited tonight for the first time was because of this wishful dew?
