Chapter 640: Are You Sure You Didn't Miscalculate?
As the pillar of Tianxiang Pavilion, Sisi is relatively free in terms of time arrangement.
No matter what time it is, for the cash cow, my mother will be kind to it.
Just like the top students in later generations, you are occasionally late and leave early, and the teacher often turns a blind eye.
Today, she heard from Zixia that the Treasure Pavilion was going to start selling alabaster cream, so she made an appointment to take a look.
Although with their status, they can arrange for the maid to buy things.
However, for women, the joy of shopping is not something that ordinary men can understand.
"Sister Zixia, the entrance to this Treasure Pavilion is already blocked, and I don't think we will be able to enter it for a while."
There were still dozens of steps away from the Treasure Pavilion, Sisi looked at the flow of people in front of him and felt incredulous.
That's an exaggeration, isn't it?
The things in the Treasure Pavilion are not given away for free, why do so many people come to buy them?
"I heard some news about the alabaster, it should be that the price is very sincere, and the moisturizing effect is very good. In such a cold winter, it is really a must-have thing at home. ”
As the teacher of Guanshishan Academy, Zixia naturally knows a lot more about the things developed in the laboratory of Gewu Academy than Sisi.
In fact, as long as it is something that Li Kuan arranges for someone to come up with, Zixia is very confident.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to the Treasure Pavilion this time to join in the fun.
Of course, if she asks for a sample from the laboratory of Gewu Academy, she can actually get it, but then there is no fun of shopping.
"I read the advertisement that alabaster can effectively moisturize the skin, prevent cracking, and after applying it, it will not make people feel greasy, but will be absorbed directly into the skin. It sounds like it's much better than the fat powder sold by other fat powder shops. ”
As a person from Qinglou, Sisi's skin care products are almost just what she needs.
Which fat powder shop in Chang'an City has a new product, basically it doesn't take a few days for her to know.
In the same way, she is also very clear about the quality of each fat powder.
Before that, she was protecting her skin by going out in winter as little as possible, which can be said to be a no-brainer.
"Why don't we go to the nearby bread Xinyu for a cup of black tea and try their latest butter bread? When there are fewer people, let's buy them again, shall we? ”
Zixia didn't want to squeeze around in the crowd, it would feel cheap.
It just so happens that a few dozen steps away from the treasure pavilion, there is a newly opened bread Xinyu, which is even laid with radiators, which is very suitable for this weather to rest.
Ordering a pot of black tea and sitting there chatting and eating some bread seems to be very stylish.
At this time, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City, the bread new language is a bit of a Starbucks in the future, and it is still full of force.
"That's fine, let's see if there will be fewer people in a while. If it really doesn't work, let Xiaoqian go buy a few boxes and come back, and we will wait for her in Bread Xinyu. ”
Sisi, as the number one person in the Qinglou, is just like the popular superstar in later generations.
If she had squeezed into the crowd, someone might have recognized her.
When there is a stampede, it will be a lot of fun.
Therefore, she also tries to avoid this kind of crowded occasion as much as possible.
……
"Miss Xiang'er, all the alabaster outside has been sold out, fortunately, you have prepared enough inventory in advance, I really didn't expect such a alabaster to sell so well."
Although it was a cold day, in the Treasure Pavilion, the guys were busy sweating profusely.
From the moment it opened in the morning, the flow of people became more and more and showed no sign of abating.
Many guys don't even have time to eat lunch at noon and are there all the time to greet guests.
And the account office that collects the money has to count the money until its hands cramp.
"Rest assured, this time we have prepared enough alabaster in stock. Even if the alabaster in the warehouse is sold out today, I can continue to make up a batch tomorrow morning. ”
Xiang'er has personally visited the production process of alabaster and knows that the production speed of this thing is actually very fast.
On the contrary, it is a small wooden box outside, which takes more time.
However, as long as you are willing to spend money on that thing, and at the same time find several workshops to order, the increase in production capacity is also very fast.
To put it mildly, two pennies of a box of alabaster for ten cents are on the packaging.
After all, the wooden box and the porcelain inside require some manpower and material resources.
On the contrary, the alabaster inside, the cost of a box is less than a penny.
"That's good, I see that some people outside are buying box by box, if it weren't for our sufficient inventory, I would be thinking about whether to raise the price or limit the purchase."
……
In the palace of the king of Chu, Li Kuan got up relatively late as always.
"Lord Wang, this is the sales of alabaster yesterday, do you want to take a look?"
When Li Kuan was sitting at the dining table and preparing to eat breakfast, Wu Meiniang handed over an account book.
The treasure pavilion is now an industry managed by Wu Meiniang, and new products such as alabaster are on the market, so Wu Meiniang is naturally paying special attention.
Fortunately, Xiang'er also knew that everyone was very concerned about the situation of alabaster, so even if she was tired all day during the day, she arranged for someone to sort out the sales of the day overnight.
I don't know if I don't sort it out, but I don't know it's so terrible when I sort it out.
"Poof!"
Li Kuan drank soy milk while biting a fried dough stick.
This fritter was just recently made by the Chu Wangfu, although it is very simple to make, but it is very popular with everyone.
However, before Li Kuan could enjoy the perfect match of soy milk and oil bars, he was shocked by the numbers in the ledger and squirted out the soy milk in his mouth.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Li Kuan turned his head and did not spray all of it on the table.
"Ahem!"
Li Kuan couldn't help but cough lightly twice to hide his embarrassment.
"It can't be an extra zero, right?"
"Lord Wang, that's right, it's sixty-four thousand boxes. In fact, yesterday morning, although the alabaster was selling very well, most of them were bought by you and me. But in the afternoon, there are hundreds of boxes and hundreds of boxes, and I guess some merchants have found an opportunity to make money. ”
"Just one alabaster earned more than 400 yuan a day, this cosmetics is really profitable."
Li Kuan doesn't mind the situation that other merchants buy a large amount of alabaster and sell it to other places.
The greater the sales of alabaster cream, the greater the significance for the nascent chemical industry.
It's just that the profits of alabaster are really beyond his expectations.
This is still the so-called ultra-low price, if it is sold for dozens or hundreds of dollars a box like other fat powders, it will be even more profitable.
It seems that in this industry, no matter what era it is, the production cost is only a small part of the selling price.
