Chapter 095: Business is booming
"Cracklingβ"
"Bang bangβ"
On the sixth day of October, in the midst of a noisy firecracker, the Sanbao store officially opened!
There were many people who came to watch the excitement, including some richly dressed sons and brothers, as well as some wealthy businessmen with thousands of dollars. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The store's signboard, "Three Treasures Shop", is written by Lu Cheng himself.
Whether the words are good enough or not and don't need to be ignored, the important thing is that the name of the talent, the identity of the person who inscribed is much more important than calligraphy.
Due to the proper publicity in the early stage, as soon as it opened, many customers poured into the store to get a sneak peek at this legendary soap.
The decoration of the store is also very elegant, there are some calligraphy and paintings on the wall, but there is only one painting soap, and the rest are some paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds, ladies, etc.
The person who painted the painting is very skilled, the soap painted is very realistic, even the delicate wooden box that packs the soap has been painted, and the two big characters of "Yayun" are more eye-catching on the painting, and below is the soap lyrics sung by Jinyun.
The person with the inscription on this painting is naturally Li Lian.
Speaking of which, these calligraphy and paintings in the store don't cost a penny, and they are all given by some well-known scholars in Kaifeng Mansion.
It is normal for literati to communicate and friends to give each other their own calligraphy and paintings, and Lu Cheng has now taken the initiative to deal with many literati, and of course there is no shortage of calligraphy and paintings.
On the display case in the store, boxes of delicate and beautiful soaps are placed for customers to see.
"Shopkeeper, get me three boxes of soap!"
A young man with a delicate appearance and fair skin took the lead and bought three boxes of soap.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man who was slightly short in stature and rich in appearance said loudly: "Shopkeeper, bring me a piece too!" β
As soon as these words came out, someone who knew him on the side immediately quipped: "Yo, isn't this Li Dong's family?" You bought this soap to give it to Miss Yun'er in the Liqiu Courtyard, right? β
"Huh...... Shopkeeper Liu also came to cheer? β
This Li Dongjia made him a little embarrassed, and immediately smiled generously: "Shopkeeper, take one more piece." β
"Hahaha......"
The man immediately laughed and teased again: "Li Dongjia is really a wonderful person, one for the girl, one for the daughter-in-law, the other for the daughter-in-law, both inside and outside the house!" β
"Hahaha......"
When the people present heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.
This Li Dongjia has a total of eight beautiful concubines at home, and if he continues to ridicule him, he will have to buy eight more boxes of soap today.
At the thought that ten boxes of soap would cost a hundred taels of silver, he felt a little painful in his flesh, and hurriedly walked out of the store. Behind him, the subordinate who accompanied him took out the money and paid the bill, and followed out with two pieces of soap.
At this moment, Zuo Guoji was also standing in a corner of the store, chatting quietly with Shen Yi and Li Lian beside him.
Looking at the lively scene in the store, Zuo Guoji smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "I haven't done business here, and my vision is still a little worse." I only said that I could sell 100 pieces of soap a month, but now I think I have miscalculated. β
The Zuo family's source of income mainly depends on collecting land rent, and some small businesses are also involved, but Zuo Guoji has not participated in taking care of it. Therefore, he naturally does not have much experience in business, and this partnership with Lu Cheng is the first time to do business.
Shen Yi smiled: "Brother Zuo, don't worry, none of us expected soap to be so easy to sell, right?" However, on the first day of opening, it is usually more lively, and there will be no such good business tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. β
Li Lian also nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zuo, I have only sold more than a dozen boxes of soap now, and it is estimated that I can sell dozens of boxes today." In the future, it shouldn't be as lively as it is today, isn't there still a month! β
Zuo Guoji shook his head and said, "If we can sell dozens of yuan today, I'm afraid that in half a month at most, our soap will be sold out." It will take a month for the next batch of goods to come out, and in the second half of the month, our Sanbao store may be temporarily closed. β

When the Sanbao store opened, Lu Cheng, one of the owners behind the scenes, was not at the scene.
There is no other reason, just because during this time in the morning, Lu Fuzi is still busy teaching.
Lu Cheng is a very principled person, and he will not suspend students for a day because of his own personal affairs, although the money earned from teaching is much less than selling soap.
People say that to be a monk for a day is to strike the bell for a day, but he is to be a master for a day and teach for a day, and the truth is actually no different. The difference is that Lu Cheng is indeed teaching very seriously and will not choose to be perfunctory.
What's more, for Lu Cheng, the opening of this kind of thing is nothing more than going over to see the excitement. Anyway, once the soap is made, my task is completed.
On the other side of the shop, there are still Zuo Guoji and Shen Yi present, and basically there will be no need to use their own place.
One of those two buddies has money and the other has status. If there is something that even the two of them can't solve, there is nothing they can do.
Lu Cheng didn't expect to sell much today, after all, the price he set was not ten cents, nor ten taels of silver, but ten taels of silver!
Ten taels of silver to buy a bar of soap sounds a bit scary, but how many people will immediately decide to buy it? At present, except for himself and Shen Yi, no one else has used this thing, how can there be any reputation?
Even if it has been promoted before, it won't make people rush to buy it, right?
Lu Cheng felt that it was already a great thing to be able to sell more than 20 pieces of soap a day.
However, it turns out that he guessed wrong!
In the afternoon, when Lu Cheng rushed to the Sanbao store, he found that Shen Yi and the others were not there.
The shopkeeper knew Lu Cheng and knew that this person was also his owner. Without waiting for Lu Cheng to ask, he had already greeted him, and said with a smile: "Lu Gongzi, they went to Wangjiang Tower, Lu Gongzi recognizes the way, do you want a guy to take you over?" β
Lu Cheng shook his head and asked casually, "Shopkeeper, how much soap did you sell today?" β
When the shopkeeper heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he replied happily: "From morning to now, we have sold forty-six pieces of soap in our shop!" β
Lu Cheng just asked casually, but he didn't really care how much he could sell. Unexpectedly, the other party's answer was greatly unexpected by him.
His eyes widened, and he asked again, "Shopkeeper, how much did you say it was sold?" β
"Forty-six." The shopkeeper repeated the number.
Forty-six?
Lu Cheng blinked, and said in his heart that according to such a sales method, wouldn't it be sold out in about ten days?
This number is not calculated according to the average daily number, but decreases in turn.
Because he knows that the early promotion has been almost done, and people who want to buy will come to buy it as soon as it opens today. And those who don't want to buy it for the time being will also need a period of time before they will be slowly affected, and then have the desire to buy.
According to Lu Cheng's previous calculations, he should be able to sell for about 100 yuan a month, so he only let people make 120 yuan of soap. For a small workshop like theirs, this is not less.
Now when he sees that the business is so hot, he can't wait to give himself a mouthful: "It's too small, so I made more than 100 yuan!" β
Subsequently, Lu Cheng came to Wangjiang Tower and drank with Zuo Guoji and others, which was regarded as a small celebration banquet.
During the banquet, Zuo Guoji said that there would be a cultural meeting tomorrow and invited Lu Cheng to come over.
Lu Cheng has participated in too many literary meetings recently, and he really doesn't want to go, and was about to refuse, but Zuo Guoji said with a mysterious face: "There will be a big man who will participate tomorrow, Brother Lu should go with us." β
