Chapter 415 Come to ask for cooperation
When the group arrived in the town, they hadn't seen the shop sign yet, but they saw a group of people standing in front of the door.
Lu Xiaocao and Wang Baoyu looked at each other and smiled, with deep smiles in their eyes.
"Hey, they are coming. Everyone, please make way for the donkey carts. We can open the door as soon as they arrive."
Compared to the name Huacaofang, everyone still prefers to call it Wen's. "Wen's, you see everyone is here to buy soap, why don't you sell it at the door yourself, so that everyone can buy it and go home earlier."
Someone in the crowd made a suggestion, and many people agreed.
Wang Baoyu and Lu Xiaocao exchanged glances. Lu Xiaocao drove the donkey cart to the backyard, while Wang Baoyu walked to the door of the shop, stood on a stone pier beside it, and said to everyone, "Don't worry, everyone. We'll go to the backyard with the donkey cart and take the things down, then we'll open the door. Today we have not only soap, but also shampoo, which is much better than washing your hair with soap nuts."
Wang Baoyu took the opportunity to promote his shampoo again.
"Shampoo? What is that? I think it's good to use soapnuts to wash your hair!" someone in the crowd spoke up.
Wang Baoyu smiled brightly, "Aunt, when there was no soap, everyone used rice water or soap nuts. Now everyone likes to use soap. When you buy some shampoo and try it, you will know how good it is."
Then Wang Baoyu repeated to everyone what Gu Qingqing had told her yesterday. As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xiaocao started to take down the door panels of the shop one by one.
Announces the opening of business today.
On the other side, Wang Xiaoxiu also helped put the soap on the counter, including a jar of shampoo and a bamboo basket of bamboo tubes.
Seeing that Wang Baoyu was busy with a swarm of people coming in, Lu Xiaocao asked Wang Xiaoxiu to put the braised food in place first and open the window later.
"Give me two pieces of mugwort soap."
"Mint. I want mint."
"Sister-in-law, how much mint do you want?"
"piece."
"Okay, take it. What do you want?" Wang Baoyu asked the person behind the woman who had just completed the transaction.
Then I heard the other party say calmly, "How many are left? I'll take them all."
Before Wang Baoyu could answer, the people behind him said, "If you buy them all, what will we buy?"
“I can’t give him all of it.”
"We want it too."
Seeing the crowd making a fuss, Lu Xiaocao quickly stood on a stool under the counter and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The boss said that in order to ensure that everyone can buy it, we have increased the purchase limit. Each person can only buy five pieces in the next few days. Once we make it in large quantities, you can have as many as you want."
After the crowd was calmed down, Lu Xiaocao got down from the stool and looked at the man. He was about forty years old and dressed like a manager. Lu Xiaocao seemed to see that the other party had other requests, so he quickly said, "My dear, you can buy up to five pieces today. If you have other needs, you can wait until we are done here and we can talk in detail."
"Haha, okay, give me one piece of each flavor." The other party understood what Lu Xiaocao said.
After sending this person away, the next people who came bought things one or two yuan at a time. I didn't know which family the woman in charge of buying things was from, but she also took away a bamboo tube of shampoo.
After most of the people had left, Lu Xiaocao hurried to open the window of the braised meat shop. Naturally, there were people waiting to buy braised meat here, and if he opened the window late, there would be complaints.
"Yes, yes, we'll pay attention next time." Lu Xiaocao stretched her neck to see that there were only about ten people outside. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long today. I'll give two eggs to everyone present as compensation."
Now the crowd had no more complaints.
It was almost noon, and there were no customers at this time. Wang Baoyu came out of the shop and stood outside the window of the braised meat. He looked at the braised meat in the pot and said, "Why are the sales so slow today?"
Lu Xiaocao pursed her lips in confusion, "It seems obvious that there are fewer customers today."
"Could it be that you opened the door a little late this morning and the guests couldn't wait and left?" Wang Baoyu thought of this and became inexplicably worried.
Lu Xiaocao shook her head and said with certainty, "No, some old customers usually come at the end of Chenshi. I haven't seen them for three consecutive days."
When Lu Xiaocao said this, she saw that the other two looked worried, so she waved her hand and said with a smile, "Why? How can a shop have good business every day? If we can't sell anything, we can just eat by ourselves. What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Haha, I just arrived and I'm not familiar with this place. Let's continue eating what you and Meihua usually eat." Wang Baoyu obviously didn't make up his mind.
"I'm fine with either." Wang Xiaoxiu didn't make up her mind.
Lu Xiaocao smiled and said, "Since you are all okay with it, let's go buy three bowls of vegetarian noodles. There is still a lot of meat in the pot. Whoever wants to eat something can use it as the stew."
Lu Xiaocao couldn't leave by herself, and neither could Wang Baoyu. She counted the copper coins and handed them to Wang Xiaoxiu, then pointed to a noodle shop not far away and said, "Go buy from them. They said our shop owner will add extra noodles."
"Yeah, I'll go right away."
After Wang Xiaoxiu left, Lu Xiaocao and Wang Baoyu chatted across the window. When she learned that the soap had been sold out long ago, she couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"Oh, if you hadn't helped me this morning, I don't know what would have happened. But I only sold three jars of shampoo. When I came out, Qingqing told me that there were about 20 jars in this jar. I'm worried now. When will it be sold out?"
"Haha, why are you in such a hurry? Once the store becomes more well-known, maybe it will be like the soap and all will be sold out as soon as the store opens. By then, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it with three hands." Lu Xiaocao said jokingly.
"I hope so, business is good..."
"Wait." Lu Xiaocao interrupted her, then raised her chin and pointed to her, "The guest from this morning is here again. I'll go with you."
Wang Baoyu looked back and saw that it was the man who had said in the morning that he wanted to hug everyone in the audience.
She walked two steps to the entrance of the flower and herb shop but was not in a hurry to go back. She stood there as if she was waiting for the other person.
Lu Xiaocao could only go around the door of the shop to the next door. She placed a cup of tea on a coffee table against the wall and pointed to a four-legged stool over there and said, "It's getting hot outside. Thank you for making this trip. Please sit down."
The other party was not polite. After taking the tea, he got straight to the point and said, "To be honest, my last name is Chai, and I am the owner of a shop in Xinzhou Prefecture. I came to Taohua Town this time and accidentally saw the soap in your shop. I heard that you made this soap yourself?"
Lu Xiaocao did understand, and she replied with a smile, "Hello, Shopkeeper Chai. This is indeed made in our own workshop."
When the shopkeeper surnamed Chai heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "Then I wonder if you have any surplus? If I need a large quantity, what price will you give me?"
When he finished asking, the woman across from him shook her head and said, "It doesn't count if I say that. You have to ask our boss for details."
