Chapter 348: Skin as White as Cream
This was the scene Li Xiaoxiao saw when she came in. She had no idea what they were up to.
The next day, before the store opened, there was already a long line at the door, all of whom were there to buy concealer. There were dozens of people.
Li Xiaoxiao instructed that the bottles should be reserved first for those who registered yesterday, and then the remaining ones should be sold. As a result, there were only eight bottles left.
That is to say, the first eight people bought it, but the rest did not.
"Boss, please register us. We will come and get it tomorrow. My daughter is waiting for us at home." Someone shouted in the crowd.
"Yes, you sell too little every day. With so many people, you need to produce more."
"Such a useful thing, it's a pity that my young lady didn't come yesterday. If I had known, I would have come yesterday."
"I lined up at daybreak, but still couldn't buy any."
For a moment, the place was bustling with people, and most of those queuing here were servants and maids, who were all ordered by their masters to come and buy things.
After being out for so long, it would be embarrassing if I came back empty-handed.
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and waved her hand to signal them to be quiet: "First of all, thank you for your recognition. It is an honor for our shop. However, because this concealer contains precious medicinal materials and its production method is not easy, it can only be supplied in limited quantities every day."
"Since you are here today, I will register you first. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will sort the items according to the order on the list. You can just come and pick them up then."
When they heard Li Xiaoxiao say that they would register their names today, they all became happy again. It didn't matter if it was a day earlier or a day later, as long as they could buy it. There were so many people accompanying them, it wasn't just them alone.
Because the rouge shop dealt with women, Li Xiaoxiao hired a female accountant. This female accountant was very meticulous and could remember every lady in every house.
Li Xiaoxiao looked very satisfied. In ancient times, wealthy families had many sons and daughters. Some of their names differed by only one character. It was easy to remember the names clearly and avoid confusion.
To Li Xiaoxiao's surprise, there was not only that group of people in the morning. After the door opened, many more people came in the afternoon after hearing the noise, and they were all registered one by one.
A total of 118 people registered that day, which means that all the concealer in her store has been sold out in the next six days. Li Xiaoxiao's mouth almost stretched to her ears.
All the concealer was taken out from the space, and then two maids packed it. The only investment was the porcelain bottle.
A porcelain vase cost two cents, and could be resold for thirty taels. In a day, she could earn six hundred taels just from this. This incredible wealth really fell into her hands.
After opening so many shops, I’m finally seeing a return on my investment.
The concealer sold well, and the sales of other items in the store also remained high. There are two rouge shops on this street.
Since Li Xiaoxiao opened his business yesterday, the business, which was originally good, has seen a drastic drop in the number of customers, and all of them have flocked to Li Xiaoxiao's side.
What’s even more infuriating is that Li Xiaoxiao’s products are not enough to sell, and they can’t sell any of their products either. They are so angry that they hang their heads and bow their chests, but they can do nothing about it.
We are all running legitimate shops and doing business, but we are not as skilled as others. Who can we blame?
On the third day, Lin Xiaoxiao posted a notice at the door, saying that because the pre-sale of the concealer was already six days later, the pre-sale had to be completed first, which meant that it would not be sold for the time being.
Cheng Yuner looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was so smooth and flawless that not even a single pore could be seen.
I didn’t expect that Li Xiaoxiao’s concealer is so effective. No wonder so many people are rushing to buy it. She sells such a small porcelain bottle for thirty taels, it’s really dark.
This was not bought by her. Zhang Qiaoxin had someone deliver it just now. She said that she asked the maids to queue up to buy it, and this bottle was sent to her first.
She had heard something yesterday. Xiang Ling said that a new rouge shop had opened in the capital, and there was a concealer in the shop that worked very well. She thought Xiang Ling was exaggerating, but she didn't expect that what she said was true.
After trying it myself, I found it really hard to put down. I never thought that a country bumpkin could make such a good thing.
The porcelain bottle in her hand was finely crafted and had a high quality. Cheng Yuner held it in her hand and rubbed it back and forth.
His expression changed from gloomy to bright, and after a while he put the porcelain vase back on the table and looked carefully at his face which was more delicate than usual.
She was so proud of her face, but someone actually compared her with Li Xiaoxiao. How could she be worthy of a country girl from the countryside? She even wanted to snatch her cousin from her. She was just dreaming.
Looking at the porcelain vase on the table, Cheng Yun'er's expression changed several times. After a long time, a cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Don't you like to open a shop? Then I will give you a grand opening gift."
Two days later, Cheng Yuner called Qiao Yueru, Zhang Qiaoxin and Wang Xiaoyue to go to Li Xiaoxiao's rouge shop together.
As soon as I entered the door, a young girl came up to me warmly and said, "Miss, please come in."
"Yeah." Cheng Yun'er responded lightly, stepped in first, followed by the three of them.
Li Xiaoxiao saw them at a glance, and Qiao Yueru was also there. Was this Cheng Yuner here specifically to make Qiao Yueru disgust her? She always brought her with her.
She didn't think that Cheng Yun'er and she were just ordinary playmates. In Cheng Yun'er's eyes, someone like Qiao Yueru was probably not even worthy of carrying her shoes.
Since he is a guest and has come to give her some money, of course she should be welcomed warmly.
"Miss Cheng is such a rare guest. Your humble shop is honored." Li Xiaoxiao put on her signature smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Thank you, little girl Liao. I heard a few days ago that a new shop opened here. It seems that they have some concealer cream. I just got some free time today to come and take a look."
Cheng Yun'er was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had exquisite makeup, and wore a valuable pearl hairpin on her head. She looked graceful and elegant in her every move.
"We have a concealer in our store that's pretty effective. Would you like to try it, Miss Cheng?" Li Xiaoxiao said with a fake smile on her face.
"Our Miss Cheng has skin as smooth as cream, so delicate that it can be blown away. How can she use something like yours? A country bumpkin made this stuff, but others dare to put it on their faces. Aren't they afraid of ruining their faces?"
"Some people are good at bragging. I don't know how many people they have deceived. Such a small bottle costs thirty taels of silver. Why don't they just rob it? Wouldn't it be faster?" I knew it was Qiao Yueru just by listening to the voice.
Other people have brains, but she probably has paste in her head. She always takes the lead in everything. Does Cheng Yuner pay her a salary? Otherwise, why is she so active in barking every time?
"It turned out to be Miss Qiao. I thought it was some vicious dog that escaped and was biting people." Li Xiaoxiao walked up to Qiao Yueru, crossed his arms over his chest, looked down at her with a condescending look.
