Chapter 294 "General's Mansion? Which General's Mansion?"
Li Xiuxiu said in a low voice that only the mother and daughter could hear: "Duo'er, mother doesn't need this, let's not buy it, let's go over there and take a look."
Yun Duo patted Li Xiuxiu's hand and used her eyes to reassure her.
When the waitress heard Yun Duo asking about the price, she smiled even more enthusiastically: "Miss, there are three-piece sets and eight-piece sets. The three-piece set only contains basic skin care products such as cleanser, lotion and emulsion. This set only costs five taels of silver. The eight-piece set is more complete and can more effectively strengthen the skin, allowing the skin to further absorb nutrients and improve skin quality. In addition to the first three items, there is also essence, eye cream, night cream, sunscreen and a whitening cream. This set costs twenty taels of silver."
"Waiter, buy one get one free today, right?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Can this three-piece suit be supplemented with a sunscreen? It will become a four-piece suit."
"Miss, the sets are all packaged and cannot be added, but you can take a look at this basic sunscreen, which only costs 500 Wen and has a very good sun protection effect." The waiter strongly recommended the product without making it sound deliberate.
"Then give me an eight-piece set of the face-lifting and firming set, and two three-piece sets. Can you give me a whitening and anti-freckle set as a gift for the three-piece set?"
The compact series was the most expensive of the three sets, so of course the waiter was willing to change it, "Sure miss, I'll put it in the basket for you."
She gave two sets of the eight-piece suits to her mother for use for a while, and as for the three-piece suits, she planned to give them to her second grandmother and three cousins.
"Give me three sets of this moisturizing three-piece set, and five bottles of the sunscreen you mentioned. Give me ten bottles of this vanishing cream. Give me five bottles of children's cream."
This vanishing cream is not beautifully packaged, but in an ordinary ceramic jar. Yun Duo opened it and smelled it, then scooped a little with her fingers and smeared it on her hands. The vanishing cream has a fine texture and can be evenly applied by gently pushing it. The absorption effect is excellent. After touching it, the back of the hand is very moisturized, the skin is very tender and no longer dry. The vanishing cream exudes a light floral fragrance. It is very cheap at 20 cents a bottle. The children's cream is even whiter and more delicate, 30 cents a bottle.
The moisturizing three-piece set was bought for Yunteng and the other six people. She bought so much vanishing cream to give back to Aunt Wu and Chunhong. The children's cream was bought for the little girl at home.
Although the vanishing cream is cheap, it is not inferior to modern vanishing creams. Judging from its texture, the profit margin should be very thin. This should be a people-friendly product launched by Caiyunhui for ordinary people. "
The waiter put all these things in the bamboo basket. There were so many things that the basket was already full. "Madam, Miss, please wait a moment. I will change a bamboo basket and take you to the daily necessities and toiletries area."
Yun Duo nodded, and the waiter quickly brought an empty basket over. "Madam, please come this way. Here are shampoos and conditioners. There are ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and ginger series. They are all good for hair care. The most expensive ginseng is five taels of silver per bottle, ginger is one tael, and Polygonum multiflorum is two taels. This shampoo makes your hair smooth and fragrant after washing. One bottle has a lot of supply. If one person uses it, it is enough for half a year. If two or three people use it, it is enough for two or three months. It is very cost-effective. Do you need it, madam?"
She doesn't need this shampoo. The ones in her space are all the best ones prepared by her grandmother. She has been secretly giving the ones in her space to her family during this period of time.
She opened the lid of the trial pack and looked at it and smelled it. The consistency of the shampoo was not as thick as those of modern ones, but it smelled good. Different varieties could smell the scent of ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and ginger mixed with the fragrance of flowers. As for other formulas, she couldn't smell them. If grandpa was here, he should be able to tell them apart. However, the shampoo in her space seemed to be a combination of these ingredients.
She was about to say that she didn't need it, but when she saw Yunlu and Yunshuang's eager eyes, she said to the waiter: "Two bottles of ginseng, five bottles of Shouwu, and ten bottles of ginger are ready!"
The waiter no longer smiled professionally when he saw such a generous customer. Instead, he smiled till his mouth corners were almost stretched to his ears: "Okay, miss, there are seventeen bottles in total. I will give you seventeen more bottles of the same kind. Put them all in your basket."
After packing, the waiter ran over to change a basket.
"Ma'am, Miss, look, here are the toothpaste, toothbrush and soap..."
Li Xiuxiu was already numb to her daughter's extravagance, so she simply did not stop her. When she heard the waiter mention soap, her eyes fell on the soap sample pack.
She didn't pay much attention to the ones that were already packaged and put on the shelf. But when she passed by the unpacked trial packs, she felt that they looked very familiar, and suddenly thought of something: "Hey! Duoer, look at this soap!"
"Mom, is there anything wrong with this soap?" Yun Duo looked at Li Xiuxiu, confused.
"Duo'er, look at this soap. Does it look like the one your uncle gave us?"
When leaving Yanqi Pass, Li Jinhuai gave Li Xiuxiu a few bars of soap. Since Li Xiuxiu only took them out for her family to use when they were taking a bath on the road, Yun Duo and Yun Hai had always been washing secretly in the space, so they did not pay attention to what the soap Li Jinhuai gave them looked like.
Li Xiuxiu carefully observed the soap, and then looked at the skin care products on the shelf next to it. The pattern printed on the soap was the same as the pattern in the middle of the skin care products, and it looked like a cloud. "Duo'er, the cloud on this soap is exactly the same as the one your uncle gave us.
Yun Duo suddenly remembered what her uncle said, that her mother's aunt was in the skin care products and soap business. Could it be such a coincidence?
"Waiter, does your Caiyunhui have a store in Beijing?" Yun Duo asked casually.
"Miss, you don't know that Cai Yunhui is very famous in Beijing. There are three chain stores in Beijing. If our boss's uncle hadn't been the steward in the general's mansion, our boss wouldn't have been able to get the agency rights." The waiter replied.
"General's Mansion? Which General's Mansion?"
"It's the Li family of the Zhennan General's Mansion, and 'Caiyunhui' is the property of the General's Mansion." This is no secret in the capital, so the waiter did not hide it.
The mother and daughter smiled at each other and exchanged glances: "So that's how it is!"
Yun Duo thought that this great-aunt she had never met had blocked all the business she had planned. She had originally wanted to start her own cosmetics business called Caiyunhui after she settled down. Anyway, her grandfather knew the recipe.
However, what she couldn't understand was why this great-aunt used her brand and made something so similar to hers. An absurd thought was about to come out of her mind, which made her heart beat faster, but she didn't dare to think too deeply, fearing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment would be if it didn't come true.
"Mom, do you know what my great aunt's name is?"
Li Xiuxiu shook her head: "Mom doesn't remember, and I forgot to ask your uncle at Yanqi Pass."
The waiter was very happy to meet a big customer today and continued to introduce, "Madam, Miss, this floral scented soap is ten cents a piece, and the ordinary soap is five cents a piece. The cleaning power is the same, but the ordinary one doesn't have the floral scent. Then I'll take twenty yuan of the ordinary one, and don't take the floral scent. The toothpaste sounds good, I'll take twenty portions, and don't use the others for now, Yunteng, go and pay the bill."
"Yes, master."
The waiter happily carried the basket and followed Yun Teng to the checkout counter to pay.
Yun Duo thought that today's buy one get one free offer was really a good deal, as she spent less than 80 taels to buy so many things. However, Li Xiuxiu felt very distressed, as if this 80 taels was in the countryside, it would be enough for their family to live for several years.
After paying the bill, the waiter asked Yun Teng if they needed help with delivery. He answered no. The waiter sent them to the door, handed them five lucky draw tickets, pointed to the lottery line and said:
"Ma'am, Miss, here are your coupons. My brother is outside helping my guests line up. You can see he's already in the middle of the queue. You can take your coupons to his side and you should be able to get a first place in line soon. Next time you come to Caiyunhui, I hope you'll find me to serve you again. I'm waiter number five, Yingzi."
Yun Duo looked in the direction of the service desk's finger and saw a little boy of about eight or nine standing in the middle of the line, waving at them: "Yingzi, thank you, your service is great. I will definitely look for you next time if I have the chance to come again. We are busy and don't have time to participate in the lottery, so this lottery ticket will be given to your brother. I wish him good luck and win the grand prize."
"Thank you, miss."
The maximum number of times a single transaction of Happy Wheel is five, and participation is the most important. This kind of activity is generally participated by ordinary people who come to increase their popularity. The ladies of wealthy families disdain to wait in line. Yingzi is very smart and asks her brother to help customers queue up in advance, so that customers can have a good impression and will come to Caiyunhui next time. She didn't expect that she would meet a big customer in her first business after opening.
This order is almost 80 taels. I get commissions for the sets and shampoos I sell. A large set costs 8 copper coins, a small set costs 3 copper coins. Shampoo costs 1 copper coin. If I sell lotions, creams, and other single products in the future, I will also get a commission of 1 copper coin.
In this order, she sold one large box and five small boxes, 17 bottles of shampoo, not counting the gifts. She received a commission of 40 cents, which was more than her daily salary.
She also received five lottery tickets from customers. The lowest prize her brother won in the lottery was also a piece of soap, and the cheapest piece of soap cost five cents. Her brother's hard work in queuing was not in vain. She was very grateful to the kind mother and daughter.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes happily, cheered herself up and went to serve the next customer.
