Chapter 2950 Private Visit on WeChat

The bottles at this time had no sealing design and no spray nozzles. Carrying scented lotions was certainly not as convenient as modern perfumes, and it was not easy to carry around refilling the fragrance. If the fragrance lasted too short, women would buy it as a novelty at most. But I will soon choose incense that lasts longer.

"Then, what should we do?" Meng Jinse became nervous. This was the enthusiasm and motivation she had not had for a long time.

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Bai Ruozhu hurriedly pulled her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have seen a prescription before. Purifying the alcohol and adding it to the fragrance will make the fragrance last longer."

She said and took out a small bottle of alcohol and handed it to Meng Jinse, "You can think about it again and see how to mix it. I will also think of a way. If I can't think of anything, I will sell the current fragrance first and slowly improve it in the future."

She didn't expect that Meng Jinse, an ancient man, would be able to solve the problem as soon as she raised it. She took it step by step and just prepared for a rainy day.

"Okay, I have an idea." Meng Jinse said.

"Okay, don't worry now, let's go out and see where the shop is suitable." Bai Ruozhu said.

"I'll go for a walk with you too." Luo Shi said.

Bai Ruozhu smiled and held their arms, "Let's change our clothes, put on our hoods and go out. We'll also go visit the spice shops in the city and do some market research."

Meng Jinse laughed and said, "I'll get some simple ones."

Luo Shi laughed and said, "I don't need to change. I always like plain."

Bai Ruozhu took a set of cotton clothes from Meng Jinse to change into. The three of them put on their hoods and went out, going directly to the most prosperous downtown in Beiyu City.

"Ruozhu, do you think we should open in the busiest place with a large flow of people, or should we choose a quiet place?" Meng Jinse asked.

"It's a quiet place. Fragrant dew shops are also popular. Those ladies and ladies like elegant and quiet shops." Bai Ruozhu said.

Luo Shi added: "And if there are too many people, the smell from the shop next to it will affect the smell of the fragrance."

Meng Jinse nodded, "That makes sense, then let's find a location that's not too remote but has a good environment."

As expected of a lady from an official family, she knows how to deal with everything. If the location of this shop is too remote, it would be difficult for the female family members to come in person. If she doesn't go to the shop, her consumption will be much less.

The carriage stopped at the street corner and the three of them got out of the car. Bai Ruozhu told Jian Qi and the coachman to wait where they were and they would come out later.

The three of them joined hands and went to the largest spice shop in Beiyu City to taste some incense.

"Misses, what spices do you need?" The shopkeeper took the initiative to say hello.

"Look at the cheapest one." Bai Ruozhu said timidly.

The shopkeeper's smile disappeared as soon as he heard this. He took out the incense packaged in a rough way and put it on the counter casually.

"Five taels of silver a handful."

"What are the characteristics of this fragrance?" Bai Ruozhu asked again.

Meng Jinse and Luo Shi didn't know what she wanted, so they listened quietly beside her.

The shopkeeper looked a little impatient, "It's just the most ordinary incense. You get what you pay for. The smoke is a bit heavy."

"Oh, let's take a look at the most expensive one, okay?" Bai Ruozhu said again.

The shopkeeper glanced at her again, but unfortunately his hood blocked his face and he couldn't see her appearance.

"The most expensive thing is our store's treasure. We generally don't sell it, and we can't give it to you," the shopkeeper said.

Meng Jinse was unhappy when he heard this and said, "I saw your house being shown to a lady a few days ago. Are you looking down on us because we can't afford it?"

"I don't mean that, but things are precious and will depreciate if touched." The shopkeeper was probably afraid that the customers would cause trouble, so his tone became much better.

Bai Ruozhu pulled Meng Jinse's sleeve and said, "If you don't want to look at it, don't look at it. Let's see if there is anything cheaper than the treasure of the store."

The shopkeeper looked at their clothes and felt that they couldn't afford it, but he still took out the spices.

Bai Ruozhu took a closer look. The spices in Yipinxiang were indeed good, but it was a pity that they didn't show her the treasure of the store.

"I want a small package of this." She said and put the banknotes on the table.

The shopkeeper was surprised. He thought the three people couldn't afford it, but he didn't expect to pay for it so readily.

After leaving Yipinxiang, Meng Jinse was still a little angry and whispered: "Why should you buy their incense? Dog eyes look down on people."

"So this is their shortcoming, and we should learn from it." Bai Ruozhu smiled and put the incense into Luo Shi's hand, "Auntie, I'll give this to you when you go back and order it for fun."

Luo Shi was a little embarrassed, "You can use it yourself."

Bai Ruozhu pouted, "Don't be polite to me. I'm a doctor and I'm not good at incense."

When you, a doctor, treat patients with a scent, wouldn't it get worse if the patient is sensitive to smell?

Luo Shi didn't hesitate after hearing this, and carefully put it into his sleeve.

"Are there any other spice shops in the city?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"There are still a few small ones. Their products are not comparable to Yipinxiang, but the prices are cheap and people still patronize them." Meng Jinse sent people to find out more about them.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Then the three of them went to check out a few spice shops. The products were indeed not as fragrant as Yipin, and the prices were also much lower.

When the three of them were tired from walking, they found a teahouse to rest. After drinking a cup of tea, Bai Ruozhu started talking.

"Yipinxiang's cheapest spices are exactly the same as Qijia's medium spices. They are produced in a workshop, but ordinary people should not be able to find them. Yipinxiang costs five taels of silver, while Qijia's costs four taels, but Yipinxiang's signboard is here, and customers subconsciously I think the one from Yipinxiang is better.”

"Also, Yipinxiang is not a big store that deceives customers, but it is indeed not as enthusiastic as those other stores. It also has the treasure of a store, so who knows how it can store a store?"

Bai Ruozhu remembered going to a jewelry store in her previous life. Their jewel was a jade bracelet worth several million. It was emerald green and so vibrant that it made people reluctant to take their eyes away after just one look at it.

Because of this treasure of the store, many people want to take a look even if they don’t buy anything, which has increased a lot of customer flow to the store.

In addition, having such a good store treasure can also improve the quality of the store, and other items will appear to be more valuable for money.

"I've thought of a few things, let's talk about them casually. If you have any good ideas, you can share them together." Bai Ruozhu started talking, "First of all, our shop doesn't use shopkeepers, we only use women to do sales, which means assistants. It is convenient for women to talk to each other, especially when it comes to testing fragrances, but it is not convenient for men.”

Meng Jinse nodded hurriedly, "If the old shopkeeper was like that just now, no one would be embarrassed to try it in the store, and a man would look at it helplessly."

"Yes, that's why we don't use men in our shop."
