No matter what, he spent a lot of effort on Ruyilu, and Li Yi would not give up easily until it was absolutely necessary.
Last night, he had come up with several marketing strategies. If it didn't work, he could find a few shills to hype it up.
Of course, you have to try these methods to know whether they are effective. After breakfast, we went down the mountain again and returned to Fucheng.
This time, Xiao Huan was not asked to follow, but Lao Fang felt uneasy and had to follow him to have a look.
He didn't know what the situation was like in the shop, and he didn't feel at ease staying in the village.
At the entrance of Ruyifang, there were only two girls left at this time. After waiting for more than half an hour, the little maid who came after her had no patience to wait any longer.
"It seems that this place won't be open in the morning." The two maids looked at the sky and saw that it was almost noon, and shook their heads and said.
Although I can't buy the Ruyi Dew and I can't do business when I go back, it's not my fault that the store is closed. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to have a look.
The two agreed and were about to leave when they saw a familiar figure walking towards them from the other side of the street.
"Hey, is that the shopkeeper I met yesterday?" a little maid said in surprise.
"Yes, that's the young master." Another girl beside him said immediately.
Yesterday, when I was shopping for rouge and gouache on the street with my wife, I accidentally discovered a new shop here. I walked in out of curiosity. The two little maids were not very impressed by the shop, but the handsome shopkeeper in the shop
, but let them remember it in their hearts.
Now that the young master has arrived, the Ruyi Square should also be opened. A hint of joy appeared in the hearts of the two little maids, glad that they did not leave too early.
Li Yi didn't notice the two girls at the door of the shop. He was thinking about other things. He opened the door of the shop and finally realized something when he found the two girls walking in behind him.
"The two girls are..."
"We are here to buy Ruyilu."
A little maid looked up at him and said in a clear voice.
Lao Fang, who was following behind, walked into the store and saw the scene in front of him, with a dazed expression on his face.
Didn't my uncle say that Ruyilu's business is not doing well and no one is buying it? What's going on?
It seems that these two little maids have been waiting at the door for a long time, actually to buy Ruyilu?
Only then did Li Yi realize that the two little maids in front of him looked familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he thought that the woman who bought Ruyilu yesterday was accompanied by two maids. Aren't they the two in front of him?
There were repeat customers on the second day after the store opened. This is a gratifying thing. At least it means that the problem is not Ruyilu, but his sales method is wrong. Li Yi took a porcelain bottle from the shelf and handed it over.
Seeing this, the little maid shook her head, took out two ingots of silver from her arms, put them on the counter, and said, "There are twenty taels of silver here, all of which are used to buy Ruyi Dew."
Lao Fang stood aside, staring blankly at the two wealthy little maids, his mind a little confused.
Not long after we opened today, we received twenty taels of silver. If this is considered a bad business, then how can we consider it a good business?
Even Li Yi didn't expect that these two little maids would ask for so much. The first batch of Ruyi Dew only made about twenty bottles. He had to keep a few bottles at home and sold them yesterday.
There were two bottles, and there were only about twenty bottles left in the store.
However, of course he would not be without money. There were still twenty-two bottles of Ruyi Dew left in the shop. All twenty-two bottles of silver were sold to two little girls. The extra two bottles were regarded as gifts to them.
It was inconvenient for the two of them to carry more than 20 bottles of Ruyi Dew. Li Yi found a wooden box to put it in. Watching the two little maids leave the shop with satisfaction, he couldn't help but wonder when he would use so much Ruyi Dew.
go?
Of course, Li Yi didn't know that the woman had pinned her hopes for a happy sexual life on these small porcelain bottles for a long time, so naturally she had to reserve some first...
"Uncle, didn't you say that the store's business is not good?" Lao Fang turned to look at him, his eyes a little dull.
If Ruyilu can always be sold at such a speed, then why should he sell candied haws? He can just sit at home and count the money. Why bother?
Li Yi sighed, looked at Lao Fang, and said slowly: "How many times have I told you to take a long-term view? Do you understand the long-term perspective? This is just twenty taels of silver. You will make a lot of money in the future.
, don’t always be satisfied with the status quo, this is just a small step we have taken.”
There was a look of reverence on Lao Fang's face. My uncle is my uncle. If it were him who could earn twenty taels of silver so easily, he would no longer be able to remain calm.
"Excuse me, are there any Ruyilu sold here?" A weak voice sounded from the door. A little maid of fifteen or sixteen years old walked into the shop. The first thing she saw was a burly man. She couldn't help but feel timid and asked in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, today's Ruyilu has been sold out." Li Yi was surprised. Yesterday, no one was interested in Ruyilu. Why did everyone come here today?
"Ah, what should I do?" The little maid showed a bitter look on her face. She just saw that the store door was not open for a long time. She was bored waiting and walked around the street, but she didn't expect that when she came back, the Ruyi Lu
Sold out.
"Let's do it this way. You can pay half of the deposit first. When new goods are available tomorrow, we will keep them for you. Just come and pick them up tomorrow morning." Li Yi looked at her and said.
After thinking about it for a while, the little maid could only nod her head in agreement.
She wasn't afraid that they would take the deposit and run away, after all, their store was here, and in the city, things like defrauding people of their deposits rarely happened.
"Then...I want ten bottles and five taels of silver for you."
The little maid took out five taels of silver from her purse, raised her head and said.
"What...how many bottles?" Old Fang's eyes widened, and he was surprised when he saw the little maid placing the money on the counter nonchalantly. Are all the people in the city so rich?
Li Yike didn't have time to spend time with Lao Fang in a daze. He took the deposit and wrote on a piece of paper "Toilet water, ten bottles, five taels of deposit paid." He signed his name in the lower right corner coolly and handed it to Xiao
Maid.
After several embarrassing scenes, Li Yi felt that it was better for him to appreciate the unique handwriting in his previous life. When he wrote on the piece of paper, he used Wang Xizhi's running script, the only one in the world, and his signature was similar.
As for the artistic calligraphy of future generations, we are not afraid of others imitating it.
The little maid put away the paper and looked up at the handsome shopkeeper's face. She felt vaguely familiar and walked out of the shop with doubts in her heart.
"Uncle, what should we do now?" Lao Fang looked at Li Yi excitedly and asked.
Li Yi glanced at him and said angrily: "What else can we do, of course, increase production!"
Just when they closed the store and planned to go back to the village first, the little maid had also returned home. The moment she stepped through the door, a bright light seemed to flash through her mind.
"The young master just now seems to be..."
In the mind of the little maid, she couldn't help but recall that one night not long ago, at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival in the Splendid Garden, she invited the talented man to compete with other people's maids at the instruction of the young lady.
