"Girls, come in and take a look. Our store just arrived yesterday with a new batch..." The fat shopkeeper greeted them with a smile on his face. He watched these women walk past him and stopped in front of the shop next door.
The fat shopkeeper had already made an invitation gesture, the smile on his face was frozen, and he stood there stupidly, standing like a statue in the autumn morning breeze.
"Is this Ruyifang?"
The women stood at the door of the shop and saw the three words on the plaque. A look of surprise immediately appeared on the faces of several of them: "Flowing clouds and flowing water, lively and lively, like a swimming dragon. The writing style of these three words has already
It has become a family of its own, which was unheard of before. Could it be that Mr. Li created it himself?"
Hearing this, a woman asked with some confusion: "But don't they all say that Mr. Li's literary talent is outstanding, but his calligraphy is unsightly?"
"It's just a rumor, it may not be credible." Another woman curled her lips and said, "Literati have always looked down upon each other. They are jealous of Mr. Li's talent and learning, so it's not surprising that they would make disparaging remarks."
Several women were discussing quietly at the door. Suddenly one of them turned around and looked at the figure standing frozen in the wind, wondering: "What... happened to him?"
"A batch of new... new goods..." The cloth shop owner said blankly what he had not finished just now, leaving only a heartbroken voice in the autumn wind.
------

Inside the shop, Li Yi had just placed the new batch of Ruyi Lu that he had made yesterday on the counter, and was planning in his mind how to promote it after today.
In the past two days, he has gained some knowledge about business and sales, and now he has become less of a novice.
Ruyilu is a new thing that has never been seen in this world before. It is not easy for people here to accept it.
There was a sound at the door. Li Yi turned his head and saw the girl who paid the deposit yesterday walking in from the outside. She must have come to get Ruyilu. She stood up from her seat and just took a step. Before she could speak, she was stunned.
In place.
Looking at the dozen or so women who suddenly appeared in the shop and the eager looks in their eyes, Li Yi's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt like a sheep among wolves.
What's happening here?
Could it be...that they were going to rob?
It's over, it's over, Li Yi felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known that the security in Qing'an City was so bad, he should have brought Lao Fang here today, but it doesn't seem to be possible... Lao Fang can handle men one by one, and women---
----Thinking about that guy's bearish behavior when facing his mother-in-law, he probably wouldn't be able to cope with such a big scene.
It would be great if Ruyi were here, at least he wouldn't be so passive... While Li Yi was observing these women, those women were also observing him.
"This Mr. Li, the shopkeeper, is indeed a talented person." A certain lady's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.
"It's him, it's him, it's him!" A certain talented woman who saw him at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival felt like a deer stumbling around in her heart.
"It turns out that he is Mr. Li. He didn't recognize him yesterday and lost the opportunity. It's a pity, it's a pity..." The woman surnamed Chen sighed, feeling extremely regretful.
"Girls, this is..." After observing for a while, Li Yi gradually realized that these young women were not here to rob, so he spoke with some confusion.
"Master, don't panic, we are here to buy Ruyilu." A woman came up and said with a smile.
Her words were half true and half false. Although buying Ruyi Dew was also one of the purposes, the more important thing was to meet this legendary talent. Of course, after what happened last time, they did not dare to show such enthusiasm.
The other party flew away again like last time, where should they look for it?
"Master, don't panic, we are here to buy Ruyilu..." This sentence made Li Yi feel a little uncomfortable. Who was panicking? Which of their eyes saw that he was panicking? He was obviously always calm, okay?
Putting down the teapot with one hand, he removed his other hand from the abacus, his expression settled, and the smile returned to his face, "Girl, please..."
Lead these women to the counter where Ruyi Lu is displayed and introduce them to them carefully.
When he woke up early in the morning, there were actually so many people forming a group to buy Ruyi Dew, which once again exceeded his expectations.
It seems that as long as the goods are good, there is really no fear of not being able to sell them. Among these women, there is one woman he met two days ago. She is the first customer in the shop. It seems that she has taken the initiative to promote it in the past two days.
, I can give her a cost price later to express my gratitude.
Li Yi didn't know that for these women, Ruyilu was only secondary. The most important reason was to form a group to brush off the most talented person in Qing'an Prefecture... maybe the most talented person in Jingguo.
Not sure.
The women listened to his introduction, glanced around the store, and were soon attracted by the paintings hanging on the walls.
Among them, they are either young ladies from wealthy families or talented girls who are well-known in Qing'an Prefecture. They have received a good education since they were young, and they are at least a little proficient in poetry and painting.
Although the many paintings in front of them were quite average in terms of fine brushwork and not outstanding, they looked so real. They were the only ones they had seen in their lives. When they thought about the identity of the other party, they had a rough idea. They must have found a different way to paint.
It is really rare among the many talents in Qing'an Prefecture to have such courage and courage to step out in the traditional structure.
I'm afraid that most people in the city thought that Mr. Li from "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" was only good at poetry, but they didn't know that his painting skills had also come to the fore, and calligraphy - he was truly proficient in painting.
He has advanced to the realm of Grandmaster.
It's ridiculous that those people actually spread the rumor that Mr. Li is not good at calligraphy, but they don't know that just taking out the three words "Ruyifang" can stop everyone's mouths.
But there was one thing they couldn't figure out. Since he had such talent, why didn't he pursue an official career and instead become a small shopkeeper here?
Could it be that at such a young age, he has already seen through this and is a strange man who hides himself from the world?
With such doubts in my heart, I became even more interested in him.
Li Yi's mouth went dry while talking on the side. When he turned around and saw these women, he found that all of them were looking at each other, obviously absent-minded. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed. These women were really here to buy Ruyilu.
Really? Could it be that they were sent by other stores to cause trouble?
Fortunately, these women did not disappoint Li Yi. After a while, I bought two bottles for you, three bottles for you, and four bottles for you. I bought ten bottles for your five bottles. Soon, the Ruyi Dew that was just made yesterday was available again.
All sold out.
"Girls, if you think this Ruyi Dew is useful, you might as well introduce it to your acquaintances. If you purchase more than twenty bottles at a time, you can get two more bottles for free." Seeing these women, they all took out their wallets.
Without even blinking his eyebrows, Li Yi immediately realized that these people were the real customers that Ruyilu wanted to target, and said with a smile on his face.
For a young lady like them, who doesn't have a few close friends in the boudoir? They just spread the word from one person to another. Once they open up a market in this circle, the rest will fall into place.
Their publicity is naturally much stronger than hiring people to shout in the streets.
"It's natural. This Ruyi Dew is of great benefit to us ladies. Even if the young master doesn't tell us, we will tell the other sisters." A woman smiled sweetly and said: "It's not early, so don't disturb Mr. Li.
Let’s take our leave now to do business.”
"Goodbye girls, welcome to visit next time."
Li Yi stood at the door of the store, waving goodbye with a smile on his face. He took the initiative to promote himself. These girls are all good people...
For a moment, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.
"No, how do they know my surname is Li?"
Next to him, across the shop, the fat owner of the cloth shop looked over, his big face full of envy.
