After the preheating of the teahouse, a kind of ignition tool called a match was quickly opened in the capital.

Especially those senior smokers, they bundle this with cigarettes, when buying cigarettes, they will bring a box of matches by the way, and it is not a very expensive thing, a box of cigarettes can be bought for a penny of silver, who cares about five copper coins?

Besides, this thing can also be used daily at home, lighting a candle and lighting a stove.

And the heads of the family were a little uncomfortable at first, but then when they saw that the prime minister took it back, they thought that it would be wasted if they didn't use it, but they bought it with copper money, so they used it casually...... Hey, don't say it, this little thing is better than fire folds and candles, and it's safe, and when a box runs out, they don't need to buy it from their father-in-law, so they took the initiative to go to the grocery store to buy it.

Zhao Ji's grocery stores were selling in the whole capital, and they searched for the road guided by Xianggong, thinking that it would be easy to come, and they couldn't just bring a box of matches, and other daily necessities were also brought by the way. As a result, after coming to Zhao Ji, I found that this place has also been renovated, and the store is bright.

Everything is also complete, from food to use, sèsè complete. And it's not bad to see sè "The price is also moderate, and the lords have calculated the account in their hearts, well, it's more cost-effective than what they bought before."

In this way, every customer who comes may really come to buy a box of matches, but when they leave, they will take something else with them in their hands.

Not only that, when the owners went out after shopping, they found that a new shop had opened next door to Zhao Ji, selling mostly small things such as needles and threads, cloth uppers, etc. It just so happened that these fù people were also interested in these small things, and when they saw that it was a new shop, they went over to have a look at it in line with the idea of having a good time.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, there are not only products from other shops here, but also a baby that has just been launched.

"Does this work?"

The sister-in-law of the Zhang family held a sample in her hand, glanced out embarrassedly, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual, she asked quietly in a concealed voice.

"Hehe," you said, "our stuff is much better than the menstrual belt." Do you see this delicate layer of cotton gauze on the outside? But the real cotton huā is spun into fine threads, and it is woven with fine threads. And in it, it's all brand new cotton huā, and it's specially smoked with motherwort juice and green tea juice at high temperatures......"

From the guys to the shopkeepers in the shop, all of them are fù people in their twenties and thirties, most of them are married people, and when it comes to these hidden topics, there is no twist, and they gently leaned into the ears of the female customers who consulted, and muttered in a low voice: "If you want to say" or we women understand women. Our proprietor is Mrs. Wang, a famous female Confucian merchant in Beijing, she has long wanted to help us women solve the troubles of every month, which is not easy After the success of the experiment, she deliberately found some skilled female workers and sewed them carefully. This thing, from spinning to weaving, to sewing, is all made by female workers, and the whole process is clean and hygienic. ”

The sister-in-law of the Zhang family listened to the introduction of the guy, while cherishing the plain white and clean "cloth" in her hand, she heard the introduction that there were Chinese herbs in it, and hurriedly lowered her head and sniffed it carefully, "Well, there is a faint medicinal fragrance, even if this thing has not been used, it is much stronger than the menstrual belt that is used at home."

Especially when the menstrual belt is mostly filled with plant ash, although it is also anti-inflammatory, but after all, it doesn't look very clean, at least it doesn't have this called "sanitary napkins, things look reassuring."

However, this sanitary napkin used so many good things to make it "Presumably the price must not be cheap, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhang's sister-in-law put down the things in her hand with some reluctance, and said in embarrassment, "The thing looks good, but I don't know how to sell it?" ”

The female guy smiled when she heard this, and said, "Giggles, sister-in-law, don't worry, this thing doesn't need money."

Didn't I just say it, this is a treasure that Mrs. Wang made up to take care of our women, naturally not to think about how much money she makes. In this way, as long as you buy something with a total value of more than two taels of silver in our store or Zhao Ji next door, you can give you a piece for free" The female guy was worried that there were too few customers, so she deliberately pretended to be intimate, and reminded in a small voice, "This shouldn't have been told to you, but we are all women, it can be disassembled and washed, you have two or three pieces to replace, and it is no problem to use it repeatedly for a year." ”

"This ......"

The sister-in-law of the Zhang family was obviously a little moved, and once again she picked up the sample, put it on her hand and stroked it repeatedly, and began to calculate how many things she had bought in Zhao Ji today.

"Sister-in-law, listen to me, you have to buy some daily necessities for needles and threads every month, fortunately, you can come to our store or Zhao Ji next door to buy, so that you can make up enough money, and you can also have clean sanitary napkins, how cost-effective."

The female guy understands the psychology of women very well, and when she saw that the other party was a little moved, she persuaded softly with a fire.

The sister-in-law of the Zhang family nodded, that's right, she didn't have much money anyway, but she bought the things she wanted to buy next month in advance, and she made up enough consumption amount, and there were things to exchange, wouldn't it be more economical?

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, counted the things she had just bought, put down the things in her hand, and said to the female man, you leave one for me, and I will go next door to buy it again. ”

After speaking, without waiting for the female guy to say hello, the sister-in-law of the Zhang family ran towards Zhao Ji next door in a hurry.

There are a lot of female customers like Sister-in-law Zhang, although everyone has no personal experience of the benefits of sanitary napkins, but free things, everyone still likes them, and it's not a fool to take advantage of it? !

If the popularity of matches can be said on the bright side, then a small piece of cloth called sanitary napkins is quietly popular among women in the capital.

Many people may not know the existence of this kind of thing, but many grocery stores, silk villages and even rouge shops in the capital suddenly found that their customers were more than half less than usual, and after inquiry, they learned that many regular customers in the store would rather run two more streets and go to Zhao Ji's shop to buy things.

From daily groceries to satin cotton to rouge gouache, all businesses that are related to women, or that are run by women, have been greatly affected.

Seeing this situation, many shopkeepers ran to their owners to find a way, and the big owners behind them couldn't help but think of Cui Changgui's words when they heard this.

It is the private room on the second floor of Zhao Ji Teahouse, several men in gorgeous clothes sit in their seats dullly, and in the whole room, no one speaks, only the sound of the friction of clothes moving back and forth.

"Alas, I really didn't expect that this little match could be so magical, stealing more than half of our store's business. ”

The one who spoke was a white and chubby middle-aged man, his family was mainly engaged in rouge gouache, ancestral trading, and it was a time-honored brand in the capital.

The last time he came to the teahouse, he didn't say anything. Because as far as he knows, Wang Qiniang has not been involved in the rouge gouache industry, and that match has nothing to do with him, there is no direct conflict of interest, and he is happy to listen to everyone's complaints and ridicule.

But this time, alas, this is called a miracle thing, the dignified Rouge was defeated by Huo Bi, who was only worth five cents, not to mention that he didn't believe it, and others would say it as a joke.

"No, even a few housekeepers in my family praise Zhao Ji's things all day long, good, good layers, so that they have crushed our business." ”

The others saw that someone finally opened it. , also responded with their mouths, all of them were full of resentment, and poured bitter water on each other.

"No, we can't let her toss like this. Master Cui, isn't it the day after tomorrow to serve at the conference, let's discuss it in advance, and let Wang Qiniang let the match deal out on the day of the conference. ”

After complaining for a long time, everyone finally came to a conclusion, and they all turned their eyes to Cui Changgui, who had not said a word in the right position, and waited for him to make a final decision.

"Hmph" After listening to everyone's discussions and conclusions, Cui Changgui snorted coldly and asked, "Do you really want this match business?" Tobacco business is not done? ”

To tell the truth, Cui Changgui proposed to use the old example to embarrass the new president, firstly, to suppress the arrogance of Wang Qiniang's mother and son, and secondly, to compete for the cigarette business.

The popularity of Shiji tobacco store, Cui Changgui has long seen it in his eyes, and he has always remembered it in his heart, he has made more than one move to take a share of the tobacco pie, but what makes him entangled is that behind Shiji there are Li Jingtian and Wang Qiniang, this one is a chivalrous league and the other is a Confucian businessman, and there is a Guogong Mansion in the middle, no matter what kind of energy he uses, he can't hold people hostage.

In the end, Cui Changgui could only watch the third young master Shi holding the cash cow and wandering around the money.

This time, it was a coincidence that Wang Qiniang's son won the chairmanship, and from the day he got the news, Cui Changgui began to wonder if he could use the old example to force Wang Qiniang to contribute to the tobacco business. After his operation and tandem, most of the Confucian merchants of Tianzi and Dizi agreed to his proposal, and they were also ready to embarrass the mother and son on the day of the inaugural meeting.

Everything went very smoothly, but who knew that something went wrong at this juncture.

Cui Changgui's slender eyes swept over everyone coldly, seeing that everyone looked different, but the bottom of his eyes had already loosened, he secretly couldn't help but be anxious, so he had to say something threatening: "Also, do you really think that matches have robbed you of your business?" Hmph, superficial! ”

"Oh, by the way, I heard the woman in the family say, it seems that Wang Qiniang also made a towel, I heard that it was specially designed for women, could it be that this thing robbed our business?"

"Well, then let her hand this over."

"That's right, we can't let her run on her and even lose her ancestral business."

"Yes, that's it."

Everyone began to talk about it again, basically saying everything, but none of them mentioned the tobacco that Cui Changgui was most concerned about.

Looking at the appearance of several people present, Cui Changgui sighed faintly in his heart, and at this point, he suddenly understood that Wang Qiniang did not make these gadgets to make money at all, but to do a trick Seeing this scene in front of him, he could even imagine the smug smile of that woman. @。
