Chapter 246 - Hit A Jackpot
" Oh, a rare product? This gentleman aren't you afraid of inciting envy? If your words were to go out on the street then I am afraid that you might find yourself in trouble " Yu Meng, have heard a lot of shopkeepers boasting about their products before, thus she didn't take Lin Chen's words seriously at all. Instead, she believed that he was just trying to recommend his products to her just like the other shopkeepers, but she had no qualms in trying something unique and rare so she smiled gently and spoke up " Do I need to pay for trying your products? I have seen a lot of crooked sellers who give enticing offers, however, the second their customer touches the products in their shops, they scam innocent people into buying them. I am warning you that if you have such thoughts put them all away, for I'm the daughter of General Yu"
Su Wan arched a brow at the young lady's straight and poised figure and smiled knowingly, no wonder this young girl had such an overbearing aura despite her common looks. She was from the capital, most likely this young lady came here to visit her relatives or something along the lines, looks like Lin Chen hit the jackpot! She strode forward and then took a clean and white soap before handing it to the young lady " Miss needs not to worry, we are not like those crooked shopkeepers and our offers are honest and genuine, you can try our products for free and you will only have to pay in case you decide to buy our products from our Zhimei shop "
Su Wan pointed to the wooden plank on which the name of their shop was written, she understood that the young missy in front of her took her and Lin Chen as some wandering sellers who sold their goods on stalls.
Yu Meng followed Su Wan's gaze and immediately realised that she had misunderstood the pair of husband and wife, she coughed in embarrassment before abruptly changing the topic " so, this white bar - what is it? And how should I use it ?"
" Young miss, this white bar is called soap. " Su Wan promptly answered before picking up a small piece of soap and started demonstrating how to use it, though she was only showing it to the Yu Meng, their shop was surrounded by a couple of people thus when Su Wan ' demonstrated ' washing her hands, the crowd surrounding their shop immediately oh-ed and ah -ed. They were surprised to see such a novel thing that could generate so much lather and it even had a sweet scent! Su Wan smiled humbly when she saw that all the attention was locked on her petite hands, once she was done washing her hands, Lin Chen promptly handed her a clean cloth to wipe her hands.
Su Wan took the clean cloth and wiped her hands before showing it to Yu Meng and the crowd " you see, young miss - with just a little soap I cleaned my hands and that's not all, my shops sell soaps that have a gentle and mild fragrance. You can wash your face, take a bath or clean your foot with them, just a little amount will be enough to squeaky clean the dirt of your body and you can also enjoy the subtle fragrances. "
Yu Meng was really surprised and stunned at Su Wan's little demonstration, she had never seen anything like this, not even in the capital. Even the imperial family used the foaming grass and aromatic oils when they bath, this ' soap ' - this was a treasure! Looks like this young couple wasn't just boasting when they said their products were unique and rare!
Yu Meng couldn't stop herself anymore and immediately rushed to try the so-called ' soap ' by herself, seeing this Su Wan wisely changed the water in the water basin and let Yu Meng try the soap for herself.
Yu Meng was an educated lady of the capital, so she clearly remembered each step that Su Wan showed her, she carefully followed every single step and washed her hands in the basin. Once she was done washing, Su Wan handed her a clean cloth and let her wipe her hands, once Yu Meng was done wiping her hands - she was really surprised. Her hands were not only clean, but they were also buttery soft and fragrant!
How exciting!
" Good lady, I really like this soap. And would like to buy it - can you please tell me for how much you are selling it ?" Though Yu Meng was attracted by the novelty of the soap, she wasn't stupid either. The reason she agreed to buy these things was all because she wanted to help her mother gain a firm foothold in the house, ever since her father brought a new concubine into their family - he has stopped paying attention to her mother. Her father was exceptionally doting on the concubine and because of this, her mother was spending days after days in her courtyard to think about a proper scheme to put an end to this nonsense.
Maybe if she sent these products to her mother in the capital, her father might be enticed by her mother. As long as her mother got pregnant with a son before any of the concubines then her mother wouldn't have to worry about anything, with a healthy son, she wouldn't have to care about those scheming concubines as long as her mother kept her brother safe and healthy, no one would be able to shake her mother's footing in their Yu house.
Once Yu Meng thought about it like this, she realised that her plan was really perfect.
" Its two taels a single white soap and however, if miss wants to buy coloured and different fragrant soaps then it will be three taels each, of course, you can also check these cream perfumes of our shops, you only need to swipe it on your skin or clothes and leave it until it gets soaked, after that you need not worry about anything " Su Wan caught the scheming glint in the young lady's eyes and immediately understood that no matter how high she set her price, this young lady would buy her products. However, she still kept her price reasonable because she wanted to sell her products to common people as well "since you are our first customer, I will give you an exclusive offer - if you buy two soaps then you can take one soap of your choice for free. The same goes for the cream perfume if lady buys two boxes of our shops cream perfumes then you can choose one cream perfume of your choice for free "
With these offers, there was no waythis lady wouldn't get tempted by such attractive offers!
