During the conversation, a man in his fifties slowly walked out from the door behind the counter. The man was full of glory, short in stature, and had a bloated body. He walked slightly staggeringly like a fat man, and the corners of his mouth were curled up. His mustache was slightly upturned, and his face, which was as round as a sesame seed pancake, always showed a friendly and prosperous smile. It looked a bit fake, but there were still whispers among the crowd.
Come out, come out, Young Master Jiang comes out. There is a loud sigh in the room. I didn’t realize that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man is quite popular in the eyes of this group of official ladies. Let Meng Xinghe, who hanged himself, be free and easy. Many people feel that they cannot lose face in comparison.
"Ladies, please be quiet. Next, Mr. Jiang Yefeng, the developer of our Washing Body Wash, comes out to explain to everyone how to use this Washing Body Wash to achieve the effect of eternal youth," a middle-aged man came to the counter. , said loudly, already clapping his hands to welcome Mr. Jiang in his mouth to appear.
"Ah, Mr. Jiang is here, come out quickly," after hearing what the middle-aged man said, some of the ladies present started to yell. Ever since they learned that there is a kind of gouache that can make you stay youthful for a long time. , and the effect after use is also very good, so I also have a lot of admiration for the developer of this white-washing body wash, Mr. Jiang Yefeng, and I heard that Mr. Jiang is well-read in poetry and books, and he is quite romantic and suave, so I hope Get close to this young man who brings good news to all women.
Since ancient times, beauties love talented people. This is an unchanging rule. Mr. Jiang is young and talented, and he is such a wise man. These ladies are here to sell gouache in name, but secretly they want to create some sparks and create a good story.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking so ugly?" Just as the ladies were expecting Mr. Jiang to appear, Xiao Sizi suddenly noticed that Meng Xinghe's face beside her was a little ugly, and asked with concern, "Yes. It’s not that this place is not suitable for young masters, why don’t you go outside and have a look,”
Meng Xinghe tried his best to calm down and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm also curious about who Mr. Jiang is. He has such ability. He really looks like us men."
When he said this, Meng Xinghe cursed countless times in his heart. His grandma actually dared to brazenly pirate his own achievements in front of me. What is the difference between this and stealing? If this was not the capital, Meng Xinghe would have long ago Only by smashing this rouge shop called Hanmo Yuxiang can I relieve my hatred.
After a while, a handsome young man walked in from the door again. He had a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and a broad nose. He was dressed simply. At a glance, he seemed to be quite elegant. He had a blue paper fan in his hand, half open and half closed. He stepped forward, although he could not be said to be very elegant, but he was not exaggerated or show off, so much so that the ladies present took another look at Mr. Jiang.
Seeing the pirate's face clearly, Meng Xinghe coughed twice, turned his gaze to Jiang Yefeng, and showed an elusive smile. Jiang Yefeng also saw Meng Xinghe, and intuitively knew that this person was not a kind person, he was just He smiled, then walked to the counter, stretched out his hand and opened the red cloth covering it, revealing a row of small white porcelain bottles neatly arranged in exquisite sandalwood boxes.
"It's just whitewash," because Hanmo Yuxiang sells this kind of gouache, so someone quickly recognized it.
Seeing that row, there were about a dozen porcelain bottles as white as ivory. Xiao Sizi took Xijia's hand and asked curiously: "Xijia, this is the white-washing body wash you mentioned."
Xijia nodded and gave a "huh" sound like a mosquito as a reply. Xiao Sizi said happily: "If it is really as magical as you said, then I will buy them all and take them back today."
Hearing that Xiao Sizi wanted to buy it, Xijia smiled faintly, and a graceful arc passed across her pink cheeks, just like the bright light in the clouds on the horizon. It was so beautiful and dazzling that people couldn't help but look at her a few more times without feeling tired.
Meng Xinghe focused all his attention on Jiang Yefeng. He didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two people around him. Soon, the middle-aged man next to the counter secretly glanced at Jiang Yefeng, and Jiang Yefeng immediately understood. He coughed twice, breaking the noise in the scene, and said: "Dear ladies, since Hanmo Yuxiang launched this whitewashing product, there has been an endless stream of customers from all over Chang'an coming to buy it, but due to the production of this whitewashing product The method of washing is very complicated, so only a small amount of wash and wash is sold every day. The box of wash and wash body soap I am holding in my hand now is a treasure that I rushed to make overnight and was only shipped from the workshop this morning. It is limited to The quantity is limited, and there are so many customers who want to buy, our store is very embarrassed, so we decided to sell all these to whoever offers a more reasonable price. Again, Ye Feng urges everyone to buy in an orderly manner and never let them go. It’s embarrassing for the small shop. When the workshop expands in the future and can produce more whitewash, this situation won’t happen again.”
This Hanmo Yuxiang shop not only pirates Meng Xinghe's laundered products, but also pirates his sales method of selling rare items at priceless auctions in areas with less supply. This practice is really hateful, but those ladies She didn't even listen to the kind words Mr. Jiang said, but focused on this young and handsome man. What she thought more about was that she wanted to get closer to him.
"I paid fifty taels and bought all these cleansing lotions," a lady with thick rouge on her face, who seemed to be relatively wealthy, directly yelled out a high price, looking straight at Jiang Yefeng, this pretty face, His face glowed red, as if he wanted to eat him into his stomach before he would feel satisfied.
"Humph, you old lady, I'll pay you a hundred taels," a young woman said angrily.
"I offer two hundred taels. If anyone dares to compete with me, I will offer more." Those present were all ladies from wealthy families. These hundreds of taels of silver were nothing to them. The higher they shouted, the higher the price. , the happier the store owner is, and they wish they would shout a few times more, so that the store owner can make more huge profits.
Two hundred taels of silver. I could only sell them for fifty taels in Jiangdu. When I got to Chang'an, they sold for several times. I was really pissed off. Meng Xinghe's face was as black as charcoal. Looking at the looks of these women, they might have to pay more. The price has increased, and I don’t know what price I can get for these bottles of cleansing body wash in the end.
With countless people constantly driving up the price, those bottles of body wash actually cost five hundred taels. This situation made the smiles on the faces of Jiang Yefeng and the middle-aged man even brighter. Seeing these unconscionable people Meng Xinghe, a profitable pirate, couldn't help but be impulsive and secretly sent an order to Xue Rengui behind him that he would have to smash the store later.
Just when Meng Xinghe was furious, Xiao Sizi stood in the middle of the crowd and said calmly: "Boss, how about I buy all these things for ten gold?"
Ten gold, my God, what a rich lady, she is so generous. One gold is one hundred taels of silver, ten gold is one thousand taels of silver, and ordinary people don’t often use gold to buy and sell things, unless they are princes or nobles. He is a generous person who spends money like water. Everyone present has their eyes on Xiao Sizi. Seeing this quiet girl in white, she is as quiet as a virgin and as active as a rabbit. Her smiles are reserved and restrained, and her noble temperament is like The Fairy of the Moon Palace has a faint smile and a worried frown, and is very charming. The woman in green beside her is equally noble and majestic like her, with dark eyes that are as bright as stars. Standing together, the two of them stand out from the crowd, making the rest stand out. People unconsciously feel their own shortcomings, so they still have the heart to compete with her for those bottles of body wash.
Suddenly this little Sizi who offered ten golds at a time appeared. Jiang Yefeng also stammered: "This lady offered ten golds. Who else is willing to pay more? If not, then I will wash it all away." I sold the shower gel to this young lady," Jiang Yefeng said, and secretly glanced at the little Sizi. Seeing that she was so shocked, she was in a daze for a moment. If the middle-aged man next to him hadn't coughed twice, he would have been in a daze for a moment. I don’t know how to wake up yet.
She is the buyer of gold. Who dares to compete with her? The previously fiercely competitive business has now become silent. Xiao Sizi called his personal maid over and offered ten gold to buy the white gold in Jiang Yefeng's hands. Shower gel, at this moment a louder voice suddenly came out from the crowd.
"Wait a minute, I'll pay twenty gold,"
The one who spoke was Meng Xinghe. Under the puzzled eyes of little Sizi, Meng Xinghe had already arrived in front of Jiang Yefeng. Jiang Yefeng glanced at Meng Xinghe and saw that he was wearing a green shirt. He was from head to toe, let alone two. Ten gold is not worth even two taels of silver. He said in a dismissive tone, "Don't be joking, young master. Twenty gold is not a small amount. If you can take it out, I will sell you this white shower gel to the young master." ,"
It's not that Jiang Yefeng looked down on Meng Xinghe, but he judged intuitively that this poor man would never be able to get twenty gold.
Jiang Yefeng was right. Meng Xinghe never carried silver with him. He called out to Xue Rengui, who immediately took out twenty gold coins from his arms. This time when he went to Chang'an, Chai Shao had already exchanged silver coins for convenience. Gold is easy to carry, and the expenses in Chang'an are also high, so the family foundation brought is quite solid, and twenty gold is more than enough.
When Xue Rengui easily took out twenty gold coins, it was Jiang Yefeng's turn to be surprised. He never expected that a seemingly inconspicuous person could hand out twenty gold coins so easily. He couldn't offend him. , he immediately changed his face and flattered: "Ye Feng is clumsy, please ask Master Haihan. Since the master has paid twenty gold, as long as no one can offer a higher price, I will sell it to the master on the spot." Jiang Yefeng looked eagerly. He looked at Xiao Sizi, hoping that this fairy-like woman could outbid Meng Xinghe, and then he wouldn't be as worried as he is now.
Seeing that it was Meng Xinghe who came out to fight with her, Xiao Sizi became more humble. He called the maid back to him and said with a slight smile: "Young master bought it for the sister in white. If that's the case, I'll come back to buy it another day. I’ll give it to the young master first,”
Little Sizi was still the same as when he was buying lanterns during the Lantern Festival in Jiangdu. He didn't like to compete with others, but generously gave away his favorite things. Meng Xinghe could only smile and said to Jiang Yefeng: "Now that's all for nothing." You can sell it to me, right?"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely sell it to the young master," Jiang Yefeng said happily. These bottles of body wash just cost a hundred taels of silver to transport back from outside. Now they have earned several times for nothing. Why not do it? He immediately closed the box containing Baibai Body Wash, handed it to Xue Rengui and said, "Master, please take it. This is the most precious thing in our store. If you buy it home and it works great, please come to our store again." ,"
Meng Xinghe refused to listen to these polite words. He spent twenty gold not only to buy those bottles of shampoo, but also for another purpose. He took out a bottle of shampoo from the box, opened it and smelled it. , said: "There is a faint fragrance, I don't know what it is made of,"
"It is made from a special spice from the Western Regions. The raw materials are very precious and are rarely seen in the Tang Dynasty." Since it is pirated, it is also very professional. Most outsiders will not understand it.
This guy even gave me a bad look, but Meng Xinghe said without exposing it: "Young Master is really talented. You can even use the spices from the Western Regions to make such strange things."
After receiving a few words of flattery, Jiang Yefeng became arrogant and said: "It's nothing, it's just a trick. If you can contribute a little to everyone in the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as Ye Feng's contribution."
In the past, Meng Xinghe always thought that he was thick-faced, but now that he saw Jiang Yefeng, he realized that there were actually a lot of thick-faced people in the world. He almost couldn't help it and wanted to give Jiang Yefeng a few punches, but being impatient would mess up his big plans, so he still He held back his breath and said, "I heard that Hanmo Yuxiang has a workshop that specializes in making bath soap. I don't know where it is. I really want to go and have a look. Brother Jiang, can you take us there? You won't refuse, right?"
Although Meng Xinghe was asking, his tone was unquestionable. He just wanted to see their workshop.
This,,this, Jiang Yefeng stuttered a little. It wasn't that he didn't want to take Meng Xinghe there, but that the body wash was smuggled in for sale from outside. There was no workshop at all, but if Meng Xinghe refused in person, he would inevitably be People are gossiping, and judging from the expressions of the people present, they also have a desire to see the workshop, which might lead to public outrage.
What should be done? Jiang Yefeng immediately sent a message to the middle-aged man on the side, asking for support. The middle-aged man also saw that the situation was not good, and he was afraid of being exposed in front of this customer, so he suddenly swayed for two seconds. Down, he staggered and seemed about to faint on the ground.
"Shopkeeper Wang, what's wrong with you? Are you doing your old habit again?" Jiang Yefeng's acting was more realistic. Even the ladies in the room were deceived by him. Meng Xinghe also pretended to be surprised and reached out to support the man named Wang. The middle-aged man of the shopkeeper said in a panic: "I think shopkeeper Wang is out of energy and blood. He seems to have fainted. Where is the side room? Carry him in first, and then ask the doctor to come immediately, otherwise something big will happen." Meng Xinghe arranged He was very careful, as if he was rescuing someone in an unexpected situation. Pretend, pretend it for me, and I will make you look good later. Meng Xinghe raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and Jiang Yefeng supported shopkeeper Wang and slowly walked inside. went away,
