Chapter 217 I Forgot the Powder
Chapter 217 I Forgot the Powder
The clerk who had been serving Jiang Jinhe immediately shifted her attention to the new visitor, Song Yuyu. With a beaming smile, she approached and asked, "Beautiful lady, what are you looking for? We have both brightly colored rouge and fragrant sachets. With such a wide selection, we're sure to find something that suits you."
Song Yuyu didn't answer the other person's question immediately. Instead, she quickly scanned the entire store's interior layout and then went straight to the point, stating her purpose. "I heard from others that there's something called soap that's popular on the market lately. Do you have any stock here?"
When she said this, she deliberately paused and cast a meaningful look at Jiang Jinhe beside her, as if asking what to do next.
Faced with the sudden situation, the young waitress was obviously confused by the question, with confusion and puzzlement written all over her face.
"Why do I feel like it's not soap... Yeah, it should be pressed powder! Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't explain it clearly. Now that I've confirmed it's correct, if you sell it here, could you please pack it all up for me to take home? I want to buy as much as I can to stock up on."
In order to increase his credibility, after saying this, he deliberately slapped his head in an exaggerated manner to show that he had just made a mistake in remembering the name, and then impatiently urged the staff to go find the goods quickly.
After hearing such a request, the clerk was immediately surprised and his eyes almost became as big as copper bells.
"Soap? Pressed powder?"
Song Yuyu frowned, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
"Yeah, how could such a big store not have it?"
Song Yuyu rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, with her hands on her hips, looking a little impatient.
The clerk was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said apologetically, "Maybe the shopkeeper didn't put it out. Why don't you go sit in the tea room next door and rest for a while? I'll go ask."
As he spoke, he gestured for Song Yuyu to go to the tea room nearby.
"I'll just wait outside so you don't sell it to someone else."
Song Yuyu said bluntly, with a hint of vigilance in her tone.
Upon hearing this, the clerk was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly told the waiter to serve tea to Song Yuyu, and he went to find the shopkeeper through the back door, moving quickly and efficiently.
Just as Song Yuyu picked up a cup of hot tea to taste it, a waiter came running over in a hurry, followed by a middle-aged woman who was dressed quite charmingly and had exquisite makeup.
"Oh, miss, I'm sorry that I'm late and couldn't welcome you in person..." the female boss said with an apologetic smile.
Song Yuyu was not polite either. She put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table with an anxious expression on her face.
"Boss lady, pack up all the soaps and powders in your store for me. I'm waiting to take them to Yindu to give to my friends."
Song Yuyu said bluntly, her tone revealing a firmness that could not be refused.
The female boss's expression suddenly became complicated, and she looked at Song Yuyu with some embarrassment.
"...Miss, our store really doesn't have the soaps and powders you mentioned...How about you pick out some lipstick or blush? I can give you a discount..." The female boss tried to explain and tried to guide Song Yuyu to buy other products.
Song Yuyu glared with her beautiful eyes and waved her hand. Suddenly, a stack of banknotes appeared on the table, each of which was shining with dazzling light.
"Don't talk to me about whether it's expensive or not. Do you think I'm short of money?"
There was a hint of anger in Song Yuyu's voice, and her tone was very firm.
The female boss looked at the stack of banknotes, her eyes suddenly widened and her lips trembled.
"...Of course not, our store doesn't have these products yet... But if you don't mind, give us two days and I'll ask someone to look for them..." the female boss cautiously tested.
At this time, Song Yuyu's expression relaxed slightly, as if she had gained some kind of satisfaction, and nodded slightly.
"Okay, that's acceptable."
Seeing this, the female boss immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Miss, could you tell me what this soap looks like? And what about this powder? What are its special features and functions? That way, it will be easier for us to find out."
Song Yuyu waved her hand with a superior attitude, as if every movement she made carried an indescribable sense of superiority.
"See, you guys don't know, so let me explain it to you."
She spoke triumphantly, a hint of pride and arrogance in her tone.
The female boss instantly put on an expression of eagerness for knowledge and said respectfully, "Thank you very much, Miss."
Her tone was full of sincerity and respect, and she obviously cherished this opportunity to learn.
Then the real show began.
I saw her enthusiastically describing the color, shape and texture of the soap.
She said that the soap has a fresh and elegant color, a round and small shape, and feels delicate and smooth.
When she talked about using it to wash her body, she said how fine and soft the foam was...
"It would be a shame if you didn't sell this soap."
Song Yuyu said with a hint of regret, "How about you come closer and smell the fragrance on me?"
The female boss really came over, smelled it carefully, and immediately showed surprise on her face.
"This scent is amazing. In all my years of making perfume, I've never encountered such a beautiful and long-lasting scent... It's simply amazing..."
She praised repeatedly, with a gleam in her eyes.
Song Yuyu pretended to be mysterious and said, "I used this soap to take a bath last night."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the female boss looked even more shocked.
The female boss's expression was as dull as a fish out of water, and she was obviously deeply moved by this magical effect.
After a while, the female boss finally came to her senses and asked softly, "...What about that powder?"
"Oh, by the way, that powder..."
Song Yuyu seemed to remember something, and with a look of sudden enlightenment on her face, "I was in a hurry this morning and forgot to apply it. It's just a good opportunity, let me show you."
As she spoke, she took out a box about two inches square from her sleeve.
The surface of the wooden box is painted in ivory black, with a warm luster and excellent feel.
Inside is a powder compact with a very natural color, which looks particularly elegant and noble in such a classically designed container.
The female boss was so moved by what she saw that she almost reached out to touch it.
Song Yuyu quickly retracted her hand, then took out a small powder puff and put it on her fingertips, then lightly and elegantly touched up her makeup.
Her movements were smooth and each step was precise, leaving everyone present stunned.
Just at this moment, several fashionably dressed girls walked into the store. When they saw this scene, they all stopped and showed great interest in their eyes.
