Chapter 10 - Selling Like Crazy

The presentation is impeccable.

And there's so much of it.

The price of one hundred taels of silver... doesn't seem too expensive.

It's still within the acceptable range.

With their status, biting the bullet and buying a few bottles is still feasible.

Sun Shi covered her mouth and chuckled, "You don't know, this stuff works wonders for men."

"I just twirled in front of my husband, and even that big oaf couldn't take his eyes off me."

"He kept asking me why I suddenly looked so good. I had to promise him to explain the reason slowly tonight."

This left the group of women wide-eyed.

This lipstick has such a great charm for men?

In the Tang Dynasty, women's status was not much lower than men's.

But men were still the dominant force, the heads of their families.

Except for someone like Cheng Yaojin, who only married Sun Shi.

Whether it was Lady Changsun or Lady Shuo, they both had a younger one in their homes.

As they grew older, they were all afraid of growing old and losing their attractiveness.

Their husbands no longer wanted to be close to them and turned to the younger ones.

Now with this lipstick...

It seems like they don't have to worry about this problem anymore?

Lady Shuo asked again, "Sister, is this lipstick only available in this color?"

Sun Shi shook her head, "No, there are more colors available. The boss said they have all kinds of lipstick colors. Even Du's sister wanted a bottle of lotus green lipstick, and the boss could produce it."

Lotus green lipstick?

Several women were stunned.

This is beyond their understanding.

Can such strange colors also be made into lipstick?

How is this color, which is difficult to blend even in painting, made into lipstick?

After talking about lipstick, Sun Shi proudly displayed the soap she bought, "Sisters, look at this."

"This is called soap, used to clean your body. After using it, your whole body will smell fragrant, like natural body scent."

Several women tried washing their hands with the soap.

Sure enough, it had a faint fragrance.

"This thing must be expensive." Lady Shuo held the soap, her mind active.

The lipstick just now cost one hundred taels of silver.

For such soap, it would probably cost at least two hundred taels of silver?

She couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Sun Shi is really willing to spend money on herself.

Several hundred taels of silver were spent without batting an eye.

Sun Shi shook her head, "For such soap, it only costs one tael of silver."

One tael of silver?!

They all looked at Sun Shi in shock.

Such an exquisite bar of soap, only costing one tael of silver?

This was more shocking than the appearance of lipstick.

"The good things in that shop are not just these." Sun Shi pursed her lips, her face full of pride.

She loves to see this kind of expression.

It makes her feel like a knowing person looking at bumpkins.

It's quite satisfying.

Instead of calling this a tea party, it's more like a sales event.

Afterward, Sun Shi took out fish tofu, solar-powered night lights, and other items.

The result was the same – the women were incredibly amazed...

Unwilling to be outdone!

After leaving the Duke Lu's residence, they hurried to the Taiping Square, wanting to buy these cherished items before curfew.

But when they arrived...

Lin Shen had already closed the door and gone back to rest in the rear room.

The next morning.

Lin Shen got up early with some difficulty.

Sleeping early naturally meant waking up early.

After washing up and changing out of his pajamas, as soon as he walked to the front room, he could see a crowd of people outside through the window.

This startled Lin Shen.

Carefully opening the door, Lin Shen looked at the crowd outside, frowned, and asked, "Why are you all waiting here so early in the morning? What do you want to do?"

A maid dressed as a young girl whispered, "I was ordered by my master to come and buy some things."

"Me too."

"Same here!"

A chorus of responses came from the crowd.

So many people came to buy things?

Did word of mouth spread so quickly?

Lin Shen was somewhat surprised and waved his hand, "Okay, line up one by one and take your time."

This day was extremely busy for Lin Shen.

Even though the news hadn't spread yet.

But there were quite a few aristocrats who were close to Cheng Yaojin's family.

Hearing Sun Shi's news, these women couldn't sit still.

The larger noble families could still afford to bite the bullet and buy lipstick.

The smaller noble families might not be willing to spend one hundred taels of silver on lipstick for the time being, but they wanted to have things like fish tofu and solar-powered night lights at home.

Lin Shen was busy from early morning to late at night.

Even though the news hadn't spread yet.

But the word of mouth had begun to spread among the aristocrats.

Every woman was proud to have a bottle of lipstick.

They also began to take pride in being able to eat fish tofu.

Delicious snacks like this...

Only available at Ruyi Supermarket in the whole Chang'an city.

If any family entertained guests without a plate of fish tofu, they would be labeled as "poor" or "ignorant."

Even the common people began to hear these rumors.

The reputation is growing!

Although it's not yet a big hit, Ruyi Supermarket has become a shopping paradise for their circle of aristocrats.

Only six products.

But each one is a masterpiece.

Lin Shen was busy day and night, but as he watched the growing pile of silver in his hands, he felt deeply satisfied.

Three days later.

Lin Shen lay on the bed, looking at the numbers displayed on the system panel.

Fifteen thousand four hundred and ninety-seven taels of silver.

Except for the explosive sales on the first day, the sales had gradually stabilized over the past three days.

There was an average of about two thousand taels of silver coming in every day.

This is much higher than Lin Shen had imagined.

The advanced lottery draw is ready.

Lin Shen rubbed his hands and pressed the button for the advanced lottery draw with a serious expression.

"Ding, the advanced lottery draw is in progress. Please be patient, host..."

"The draw is complete. Please check your rewards."
