Chapter 15: Talent Doesn't Die
This time over the weekend, because he was a random incarnation of the system, the system prompted him that he was lucky to be the shopkeeper this time. The system provided 3,000 taels as a store opening fund, which was much richer than being a beggar last time.
"Three thousand taels, I only had a few dozen taels last time I flickered for a month." A weekend stroll through the bustling city of Luoyang is in the evening. The most important thing for him now is to find a place to stay. Luoyang, as the location of the palace, can also be subject to a curfew at night.
"Childe, do you want to stay in the hotel?" A junior at the door of the Caitian Inn greeted the weekend.
He came in on the weekend just because the name of this inn was a bit modern, but he didn't know that this inn was dedicated to the wealthy. The price is unusual. Xiao Er saw that he was dressed in a novel way and had the style of a rich child, so he greeted him on the weekend.
"Stay in the hotel, have a good room. Bring some food and drinks to my room. On the weekend, the atmosphere of the local tyrant broke out, and he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and slapped it on the table of the welcoming guest.
"Well, the guest officer is going this way." Xiao Er saw the distinguished guest coming to the door, nodded and led the weekend to the room.
The next morning, I reluctantly walked out of the door of the Caitian Inn and almost scolded. This shop is a black shop, and it cost him a huge sum of forty taels to stay for one night and add wine and food. Last time he walked through, although he had never lived in an inn, he still remembered the consumption standard here, and ten taels of silver was enough for the living expenses of an ordinary family for a year.
He was unwilling to be cheated by the black store like this, and went to the inn next door to ask about the market, only to know that Luoyang is far richer today than a few years ago, due to too much business travel, the price of living in a mid-range inn like Caitian Inn is so expensive. Especially recently, the princess's wedding is approaching, and everyone wants to be happy, and they have come to Luoyang to watch the ceremony.
If you live in a high-end inn, like that kind of sky-famous guest room, it is said that it will cost hundreds of taels a night, my obedient, the money is worthless, and I was pitted by the system!
The accommodation fee of the inn is too expensive, and I can't afford to hurt it, so I still buy a store with a small courtyard as a place to live. It's right to open a store and live at home.
He walked all over the streets, inquired about dozens of shops, and was seriously shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect that three thousand taels was not enough for a year's rent for a store in a prime location!
I had no choice but to choose a small remote store in the outer city for the weekend, which may occupy an area the size of a rental house, about 20 square meters. The outright buyout price is also 2,300 taels, which is the result of an afternoon of discussion with the shopkeeper. After paying the money and getting a new deed in the household department, he sat in the empty store and felt silently distressed. Three thousand taels is directly only six hundred and sixty taels.
On this weekend, I casually found an ordinary inn in the city to spend a night, which only cost two taels. This shows the consumption level of Caitian Inn.
Due to the small size of the store, which required a place to stay on weekends, half of the store was divided into rooms by the workers he had called, and at the same time went to the market to buy necessities, such as beds, bedding, etc.
At the same time, the open counter and portable shelves were customized on the weekend, and it took a long time to communicate with the carpenter before making a plan. Of course, opening a store is different. This is an era when the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.
After the entire store was in place, the value of the weekend quickly shrank to one hundred and fifty taels. The money really can't help but be spent, and I helplessly helped my forehead on the weekend.
This mission is to win the heart of Princess Xianyi within three months, and now that she has no money and no identity, what can she do to win her heart?
By the way, isn't she going to have a wedding soon? Weddings always have to prepare wedding materials, right?
And the wedding materials are valuable Princess Xianyi is not lacking, and there is no shortage of rich people in Luoyang, you can draw a good picture, find someone to customize some modern wedding materials and supplies to sell, and chic and creative, and economical to implement, do not cost too much, at the same time, you can also undertake the business of the wedding, engage in one-stop service, open up the popularity before the wedding of Princess Xianyi, attract the attention of the princess or nobles, and have a chance to get close to the princess.
At this moment, a line of words appeared in the air, and the weekend stared at it closely, because he didn't want to miss any more hints.
Congratulations to the host for completing the task of opening a store, and the task reward: simple perfume making, a handheld mirror, experience +20, and a special coin for chasing women +60.
The day after completing the task of opening the store, he walked directly to the gate of the palace on the weekend and tried to bribe the guards to deliver a message to Princess Xianyi.
The money was handed out, but he didn't expect anything to impress Princess Xianyi at all, and he was quite nervous in his heart, but the palace guard who took the money looked very calm.
It was obviously not the first time he had done such a thing, so he quickly and quietly put the ten taels of Kaiyuan Tongbao silver ingots he had given over the weekend into his inner pocket, and took the initiative to lower his voice and asked, "This son, which noble person do you want me to pass on the message to?" ”
"Ask the lord about something, who is the princess's most favored eunuch now, and who is the palace maid?" The brains that had just crossed over the weekend had cleared up, and the unprepared rumors now did not help anything, only to cause trouble.
"Childe's surname?"
"Zhou" thought to himself that the guards must have misunderstood, and wondered which son he was.
The guard remembered that Zhou Yushi's son was about this age, and he had seen it a few years ago, which was somewhat similar to the current weekend, but now he was more handsome than in the past.
"It turned out to be the eldest son of Zhou Yushi, disrespectful, disrespectful!" The guard said enthusiastically: "The eldest palace maid next to the princess is Min Qing, if you have anything to ask the little one to send to her, just send someone to inform the little one at any time, the little one's name is Xu Rong, and she is the cousin of your mother Zhou in the kitchen, when the little one saw her at the back door of your house a few years ago, she happened to see you, do you remember?" ”
"I seem to be a little impressed." I didn't expect to have such a beautiful misunderstanding on the weekend, but I just thought that the system was sending benefits, and I was happy to make mistakes.
In the following days, he stayed quietly in the store on the weekend, and the business was greeted by new recruits, and these days he used different flowers to configure according to the perfume manufacturing principle rewarded in the system, and made the original perfume, selected the good smell, and gave it to the famous prostitutes in the Qinlou Chu Hall in Luoyang City for free trial.
Famous prostitutes fool around with prostitutes all the year round, although the appearance is good, there is often inflammation, many people emit an unpleasant smell all over the body, usually rely on bathing with flowers, in order to get a little floral fragrance to cover up, but the effect is not good enough, can only keep so three or four hours, a day to soak several baths to solve the problem, since the use of this perfume, the effect is not the same, this perfume as long as a few drops on the body, or in the bath bucket, then not only can the whole body be dyed with a good aroma, but also keep the whole day without smelling, It completely solves the troubles and inconveniences of having to take a bath several times a day.
The prostitutes were so impressed by the free perfume donation over the weekend that they came to him to buy new perfumes. Over the weekend, he quickly reached a cooperation with them, allowing them to promote their perfumes, and by the way, to their benefactors, the dignitaries, to promote his wedding service, and he was responsible for providing them with new fragrances free of charge as a reward.
Soon, the benefits of "advertising" were reflected, and the business of Zhouji Materials Store was booming all of a sudden.
On the one hand, he placed the characteristic wedding materials as samples in the store, and made exquisite material selection manuals for customers to choose, on the other hand, he also took the initiative to attack according to the needs of the wedding process, and went to Luoyang City to find the shopkeeper to cooperate with the shopkeeper, saying that any customer he recommended to buy only needed to give him a commission of ten points, and he could guarantee that the customers who came to the store had great purchase intentions.
In order to prevent others from imitating, he deliberately bought back makeup materials, and asked famous prostitutes to provide their makeup girls to teach him to learn makeup.
After everything is ready, when any customer buys his store or has a wedding, he will ask the guy or himself to ask the customer if there are any items that need to be purchased, and then recommend them to the partner store to get a commission. In this day and age, word of mouth is the best advertisement, and of course there needs to be an unmatched eloquence on the weekend. Basically, all customers who are interested in it will be fooled into going to his partner stores on weekends.
January flew by in the blink of an eye, and his net worth on the weekend also rose rapidly, and he had already made a net profit of five or six thousand taels of silver. Princess Xianyi's wedding date is gradually approaching, and Luoyang is becoming more and more lively.
One afternoon, I drank all the tea I had brewed on the weekend, thinking that I couldn't go on like this, I had to make a little change, and find a way to get close to Princess Xianyi to have a chance to complete the task.
He thought that perfume could attract the princess, and he had given it to her through the palace guards a while ago, but she didn't seem to pay attention to it, or she was a little interested, and sent someone out to inquire and buy it, but she didn't care who invented it.
This road is not working, how can I attract her?
