Chapter 10: Failed?

"Second brother, those aunts and ladies really haven't looked back?" On the way back to the store, Chen Liqing asked about the situation of soap sales, and couldn't help but ask him about the part he asked his second brother to give as a gift.

In five days, the 500 pieces of soap were only sold for 20 yuan, and even the cost of renting a store was not enough, which made Chen Liqing very frustrated and devastated. Everything he does is exactly the way the time-traveler in the novel does. Advertising, sales, and acquaintances introduced him all used, but he only sold for twenty yuan, and the regular customers did not come back to come again.

This blow was a little too big, and Chen Liqing's face never got better.

"Alas, no, I sent those soaps, but those people were quite disdainful when they heard me say that it was sent by France, and some aunts and wives threw it away directly, I don't know if it's useless......" Speaking of this, Chen Liqun also sighed a little.

"But little brother, you don't have to care, the twenty pieces of soap sold also earned 9 yuan, according to the cost of a dime a piece, the profit of this soap is very good. It's okay, take your time, it's okay. Seeing that the little brother's face was not very good, Chen Liqun patted Chen Liqing's shoulder comfortingly.

To be honest, he already felt amazing to be able to sell it for twenty yuan, and there were still people who bought it when it was so expensive, and after only selling twenty pieces of soap, the cost of a hundred pieces of soap came back. If it really catches fire, it's a lot of money. He already admires his little brother very much.

But Chen Liqing didn't know how the second brother felt, and if he didn't catch fire, he felt that he was a failure. However, the second brother persuaded himself like this, and he could only barely put on a smile and said, "Only take your time." ”

"Little brother, don't be discouraged, it's okay!"

Seeing that Chen Liqing was still not very interested, Chen Liqun patted Chen Liqing's shoulder again.

"Yes." Chen Liqing nodded lightly, and his interest was still not very high.

"Huh? Isn't that Teacher Zhang? There was silence for a moment, and suddenly Chen Liqing heard Chen Liqun's somewhat surprised voice.

"Teacher Zhang?"

He looked up at the second brother first, and then followed the second brother's gaze, and from a distance, he saw a familiar figure standing by the river, and the silhouette next to it did look a little like Zhang Jiaoxi, Zhang Xianmo, who came to his house a few days ago.

"Teacher Zhang doesn't look very good?" The two brothers glanced at each other, and Chen Liqun pulled Chen Liqing together: "Let's go, go over and say hello to Teacher Zhang." ”

Chen Liqun saw that Zhang Xianmo was in a bad mood and was by the river again, for fear that Zhang Xianmo would jump into the river, so he hurriedly went over.

"Zhang Jiaoxi?"

"Teacher Zhang."

Getting closer, the two brothers saw the gloom and pale on Zhang Xianmo's face more clearly, and Chen Liqing suddenly found that Zhang Xianmo's waist was a little hunched, and his hair had not been seen for a few days, and he was actually a little pale.

What did Zhang Xianmo encounter? How so?

Chen Liqing had a lot of doubts in his heart, the Zhang Xianmo in front of him was worse than the Zhang Xianmo he saw in Pingyue, who was full of momentum and was not afraid of failure.

Chen Liqing couldn't imagine what would happen, and it would actually make Zhang Xianmo change his mental appearance in just a few days.

"You guys?" The cries of the two brothers made Zhang Xianmo come back to his senses slightly, but when he turned his head to see Chen Liqing and the two brothers, his bloodshot eyes were full of doubts.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm Chen Liqun, Chen Liqun from Pingyue, this is my fifth brother Chen Liqing." Seeing that Zhang Xianmo didn't know his two brothers, Chen Liqun was puzzled and introduced himself again.

"Liqun, Brother Liqing?" A flash of gleam flashed in his eyes, and Zhang Xianmo seemed to recognize the two.

"Well, Mr. Zhang, it's us, are you here?" Chen Liqun nodded, and then cautiously pointed to the surging river.

"I'm here ......" Zhang Xianmo's eyes regained gloom: "Brother Liqun, it's okay, I'm fine." ”

"Nothing? How do you ......" Chen Liqun was about to continue asking, but Chen Liqing pulled Chen Liqun: "Second brother, don't ask." Chen Liqing saw that Zhang Xianmo, who appeared there, didn't want to say anything, so he asked in vain.

"Since Mr. Zhang is fine, our two brothers will leave, if Mr. Zhang wants to help, you can come to Lion Bridge Chen Ji Soap to find us." Chen Liqun was ready to say goodbye under Chen Liqing's instructions.

And Zhang Xianmo didn't seem to hear it.

The two brothers looked at each other and slowly left.

"Sanshun, you are here to quietly stare at Teacher Zhang, see what happened to Teacher Zhang, what is the situation, and report to us immediately." Back on the road, Chen Liqing turned his head and instructed Sanshun.

Although Sanshun was a little puzzled, after glancing at Chen Liqun, he still nodded decisively.

Chen Liqing was relieved.

"By the way, Sanshun, remember not to be found out by Teacher Zhang and others that you are paying attention to Teacher Zhang." Turning around, Chen Liqing thought of another thing.

"Yes, young master." Sanshun stayed.

"Why, little brother, why do you care so much about Teacher Zhang?" After walking away, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xianmo by the river again, and Chen Liqun asked curiously.

"Second brother, after all, we know Teacher Zhang, so it's impossible to watch Teacher Zhang do something wrong, right?" Chen Liqing said.

"Yes." Chen Liqun didn't ask again.

But Chen Liqing glanced back at Zhang Xianmo, and a trace of speculation flashed in his eyes.

If he is not mistaken, Zhang Xianmo may have been ostracized by the Autonomous Society and was attacked...... Now Zhang Xianmo may no longer be a member of the Autonomous Society.

Although he doesn't know what kind of blow Zhang Xianmo has suffered, Chen Liqing only needs to know one thing, Zhang Xianmo is now single, and his future construction needs talents.

Zhang Xianmo, who graduated from the Imperial University, is undoubtedly a talent!

This talent, he Chen Liqing booked.

Zhang Xianmo's matter was just a small episode, and by the time Chen Liqing and Chen Liqun returned to the shop, it was already dark, and the two brothers were tired after a day of running, so they were ready to eat a good meal and rest.

During the meal, Chen Liqing suddenly said: "Second brother, I want to hold an event tomorrow." ”

"Oh, the event?" Chen Liqun looked at Chen Liqing.

"Yes, I'm not willing to lose like this, it must be that the publicity is not enough, I have another trick tomorrow, I want to see if my soap is so unpopular." Chen Liqing is naturally unwilling to go on like this, he wants to be hot.

"Well...... This, okay, little brother, you go and do it, what do you need, and tell the second brother. Looking at the unprecedented stubbornness in Chen Liqing's eyes, Chen Liqun was ready to go crazy with this little brother again. Anyway, that's the soap business, no matter how bad it is, it shouldn't be much worse.

"Thank you, second brother." Chen Liqing smiled, and his heart was warm.

"Two brothers, don't say these kind words." Chen Liqun couldn't help frowning, continued to eat, and no longer paid attention to Chen Liqing.

The next day, Chen Kee shop.

"Precious, are those lion dance teams here?"

Early in the morning, the people of Lion Bridge saw a ring set up in front of Chen Ji's shop, which was very festive, and the passers-by stopped and were curious. However, Chen Liqing didn't care about these people, he couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw that the lion dance team had not yet arrived.

It's about eleven o'clock at the moment, and it's about to be the time when there are the most people shopping at noon, but the lion dance team hasn't come yet, so is it possible to delay the opening again?

"Little young master, they should be coming soon, the second young master has already gone to see it in person." Precious is hanging up a string of firecrackers and answering when he hears the words.

"Okay!" Chen Liqing was a little relieved, and looked at the curious people around him again, his little fists were clenched, and there was a little sweat, whether he succeeded or not was today.

"Huh? Miss, what is this? When Chen Liqing and the others were busy setting up the stage, two women came at the beginning of the street, and they were immediately curious when they saw the scene here.

"yes, I don't know." The young lady also glanced at it, but she didn't see anything clearly: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." But the bustle over there had already attracted the curiosity of the two women, and they were ready to go in and have a look.

"Chen Kee soap, originated in France, from the royal family, gives you the most luxurious enjoyment."

"What is this?"

As soon as the young lady walked over, she saw a long banner hanging on the Chen Kee soap shop.

"From France? Miss, haven't you been to France, what is soap? The girl who accompanied her listened to the young lady read it, and suddenly asked curiously.

Her young lady had been to France.

"Soap is ......," the young lady wanted to answer, but she found that she had no impression, and she unconsciously turned her eyes to the Chen Kee soap shop to see what it was from France, but she was disappointed, she saw nothing.

"What is soap?" Although they didn't see anything, the scene that Chen Liqing and the others made had aroused the curiosity of the two women, and the two women were ready to take a good look.

They didn't have to wait long, and with the sound of crackling firecrackers, people turned their heads and saw a lion coming in at the corner of the street.

"Young, precious, ready!" Seeing that the lion dance team finally came over, Chen Liqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of the upcoming big scene, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

ps: A little ask for a collection and recommendation.
