Chapter 19 Selection
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man forty miles away, who is hanging his head in front of the desk to read the account and dial the abacus, and the crisp and pleasant voice of the girl is like spring water into the ears. He looked up and saw the girl walking into the shop.
The little lady who came in was not very old, estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old. The black hair is loose and loose, the long daisy is slightly raised, the apricot eyes are smart, the crimson and full cherry lips are moist, the skin is like jade, and the pretty face is shining. Her dress is not very outstanding, the aqua green jacket with the moon-white long skirt, every step of the move, the skirt is slightly rippling, making the goose-yellow upper looming.
This little lady is neither like a maid from a big family, nor like a rich lady who goes out alone, but like a commoner. However, since he is a civilian, how could he come to the shop in Xicheng and open his mouth to see the best fat powder cream?
"This little lady, are you not in the wrong place? The things here are not cheap, if you want to use them yourself, I can tell you a few shops in Nancheng, and the things there are also good. "The shopkeeper is busy taking inventory at the moment, and the New Year is approaching, if the accounts are not beautiful enough, the owner can't say it.
Du Wanwan listened to the shopkeeper's words, and didn't think that the shops in Nancheng were all grocery stores, how could there be a shop specializing in fat powder? She smiled and said: "The shopkeeper said that I was laughing, I came for your shop." My lady said, if your things here are good, the ladies in the house will buy them from your shop. ”
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, this little lady is really a maid in a big family? But when the business comes to the door, he naturally will not refuse, "Dare to ask where the little lady is? ”
Du Wanwan raised his eyebrows, and there was a slight displeasure on his face: "What does the shopkeeper mean by this? Can I still lie to you? The fat powder used by my lady is all personally selected by me." I said okay, my lady will definitely like it, if I don't say it well, my lady will definitely not use it!"
The shopkeeper was unhappy when he saw Du Wanwan, and he didn't dare to ask again. The reason why he was unstable in his heart was that he felt that this little lady had a good face, and she seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything. Since this little lady wanted to see it, the shopkeeper didn't shirk it, and called the young man who was sorting out the shelves on the side, and asked him to bring all the best fat powder creams in the shop.
Du Wanwan snorted pretending to be dissatisfied, and turned sideways to look at the fat powder shop. This shop is the largest shop in Licheng, and the ladies and ladies of Licheng buy rouge gouache and eyebrow balm from here. Before coming, Du Wanwan inquired with Tian's mother, and the cream in this shop was particularly popular. Du Wanwan has thought about it, she only makes cream now, and if she can buy a suitable one in this shop, she is not ready to go to another store. After all, a few shops are not far away, and when she goes, it is inevitable that she will be too eye-catching.
The shelves of the shop are full of all kinds of women's products, in addition to fat powder and other things, there are also pancreas for bathing, soaphorn cream for shampooing and other things. Du Wanwan noticed that in the innermost part of the shop, there was a relief shelf of pear blossom wood, there were not many things on it, but all of them were crystal white porcelain, and they were also painted with colorful paintings, which were worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Shopkeeper, what's on the shelves over there?" The young man who took the cream for Du Wanwan had already returned, and the shopkeeper was fiddling with the cream powder on the table, ready to introduce Du Wanwan, and he heard Du Wanwan's question. He raised his head slightly, and saw Du Wanwan's gaze stop on the innermost shelf.
"Well, the things on it are not for sale, they are all fine products that our owner wants to send to the capital. "The shopkeeper doesn't care, those things are placed there, just to attract people's attention, and they hang the appetite of customers on weekdays, but they are never sold in Licheng.
Du Wanwan was puzzled, there are still non-sale items in this shop? It's not that they are not for sale, they are fine products that they want to send to the capital! She rolled her eyebrows and said arrogantly: "What? Are you still afraid that my lady can't afford to pay the silver? Open the door to do business, and make money when you have it, I have never heard of any shop pushing out the silver sent to the door!"
The shopkeeper suddenly felt a headache, and it was not the first person to stare at the things inside. He had already told the owner that the goods he wanted to send to the capital should not be placed in the shop, otherwise he would offend the guests.
After thinking about it, the shopkeeper replied to Du Wanwan's words: "The little lady doesn't know, there are several adults in the capital, and they are friends with our host's wife, these things are all wanted by nobles in the capital, and the quantity is limited, so they really can't be sold to your mansion." ”
This shop actually has a backstage? I'm afraid those things are given away! Du Wan's eyes sparkled, "Could it be that your owner also has a shop in the capital? These things should be sent to the shop in the capital first?"
The shopkeeper didn't expect Du Wanwan to ask such a question, he paused, and quickly replied: "Our owner's family is in the capital, and there are naturally shops in the capital." ”
"In that case, you can show me those things. My lord is also good friends with some adults in the capital, and my lord has always loved our lady, if I am optimistic, I will go back and tell our lady, and I will go back to ask our lord to go to the capital to buy!"
Speaking of which, the shopkeeper was also extremely speechless to this maid who couldn't look at her. He was silent for a moment, and finally went over in person and brought over a few of the beautiful white porcelain boxes, "Let's just take a look." ”
Du Wanwan's face showed a happy look, and she hurriedly said to the shopkeeper: "Don't worry, I'll just take a look, if it's good, I can go back and talk to our lady." The shopkeeper pushed a few kinds of ointment and fat powder that had been taken out of the table a long time ago, and pushed them to Du Wanwan's side, taking care of his own accounts.
The boy was also a good man, not only did he come up with the best ones, but some of them were not very expensive, but they sold very well. Du Wanwan first looked at the ones he took out first.
The packaging of these facial creams and fat powders is not as good as those white porcelain boxes, but they are also packed in polished and smooth copper boxes, and there are two big characters engraved on them. Through these days of study, Du Wanwan has been able to recognize the word "Yao Ji" written on it. Gently unscrew the box, and a faint fragrance escapes from it, permeating Du Wanwan's snort.
She opened several boxes in a row, sniffed carefully, and picked out some from the seams, and evenly wiped them on the back of her fine white hand. The shopkeeper just raised his eyes slightly, and when he saw that she hadn't taken it from the box, he went about his own thing without saying a word. The last thing Du Wanwan looked at was the white porcelain boxes, and the fragrance inside was obviously different from the previous boxes. In the first few boxes, in addition to the fragrance of flowers, you can vaguely smell a trace of medicine, and in this, in addition to the richness of the flowers, you can't smell a trace of miscellaneous smells.
Just by the naked eye, the texture inside the white porcelain box is also more delicate than the previous ones, and the color is lighter.
Du Wanwan is more than coming, or more like the boutique in the white porcelain box. However, it is obviously not suitable for mass circulation in the market, so it loses its meaning. She didn't want to talk to the shopkeeper too much, so she could only settle for the next best, and among the remaining boxes of cream, she chose the one with the most delicate texture and the lightest color.
At the same time, I also chose a fat powder with a light fragrance and the finest particles in the shop.
