"Girls, come in and take a look. Our store just arrived yesterday..." The fat shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face, seeing these women pass by him, and stopped in front of the next door shop.
The fat shopkeeper had already made an invitation gesture, the smile on his face froze, and he stood there stupidly, standing like a statue in the autumn morning wind.
"This is Ruyifang?"
The women stood at the door of the shop and saw the three characters on the plaque. Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of several of them: "Floating clouds and flowing water, agile and lively, like a swimming dragon, the handwriting of these three characters has already I have formed a family of my own, but I have never heard of it before, could it be that Mr. Li created it himself?"
A woman heard the words and asked with some doubts: "But don't they all say that Mr. Li's literary talent is brilliant, but his calligraphy is unsightly?"
"It's just a rumor, it may not be credible." Another woman curled her lips and said, "Scholars have always looked down on each other. They are jealous of Mr. Li's talent and learning, so it's not surprising that they belittle him."
Several women were discussing in low voices at the door, and suddenly one of them turned around and looked at the figure standing frozen in the wind, wondering: "What's wrong with him?"
"A batch of new... new goods..." The owner of the cloth shop said in a daze what he hadn't finished just now, leaving only a heartbroken voice in the autumn wind.
…
…
Inside the shop, Li Yi had just placed a new batch of Ruyilu that was rushed out yesterday on the counter, planning in his mind how to promote it after today.
In the past two days, he has picked up some knowledge about business and sales, and now he has become less naive.
Ruyilu is a new thing that has never been seen before in this world. It is not an easy task for the people here to accept it.
There was a sound at the door, Li Yi turned his head and saw the girl who paid the deposit yesterday came in from the outside, she should have come to get Ruyilu, she stood up from her seat, just took a step, before she opened her mouth, she was stunned In place.
Seeing the sudden addition of a dozen women in the shop and the eager eyes in their eyes, Li Yi's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt like a sheep joining a pack of wolves.
What's happening here
Could it be... are they going to rob
It's over, Li Yi felt a little regretful in his heart, he knew that the law and order in Qing'an Fucheng was so bad, he should have brought Lao Fang here today, it seems that it won't work... Lao Fang can deal with a few men, and deal with women—thinking of that guy When facing his own mother-in-law and aunt, he might not be able to cope with such a big scene.
It would be great if Ruyi was here, at least he wouldn't be so passive... While Li Yi was observing these women, those women were also observing him.
"This shopkeeper Mr. Li looks really talented." A certain lady's beautiful eyes glistened with hope.
"It's him, it's him, it's him!" A certain talented woman who had met him at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival felt like a deer bumping in her heart.
"It turns out that he is Mr. Li. I didn't recognize him yesterday. It's a pity, a pity..." The woman surnamed Chen sighed, feeling extremely regretful in her heart.
"Girls, this is..." After observing for a while, Li Yi gradually realized that these young women should not be here to rob, and he said with some doubts.
"My lord, don't panic, we are here to buy Ruyilu." A woman stepped forward and said with a smile.
Her words are half true and half false. Although buying Ruyilu is one of the purposes, the more important thing is to meet this legendary talent. Of course, after what happened last time, they dare not show how enthusiastic they are. The other party flew away like last time, where should they go to find them
"My lord, don't panic, we are here to buy Ruyilu..." Li Yi felt a little uncomfortable when he said this, who panicked, which of their eyes saw him panic, he was obviously calm all the time, okay
Putting down the teapot with one hand, and removing the other hand from the abacus, his expression settled down, and the smile returned to his face, "Girl, please..."
Lead these women to the counter where Ruyilu is placed, and introduce them carefully.
Waking up early in the morning, there are so many people forming a group to buy Ruyilu, which really exceeded his expectations again.
It seems that as long as the goods are good, they are really not afraid that they will not be sold. Among these women, there is a woman he met two days ago, who is the first customer in the shop. It seems that she should have taken the initiative to promote the past two days , I can give her a cost price later as a token of gratitude.
Li Yi didn't know that for these women, Ruyilu was only second. The main reason was to form a group to check out the number one talented person in Qing'an Mansion... Maybe it was the number one talented person in Jingguo. maybe.
Listening to his introduction, these women glanced around the shop, and were quickly attracted by the paintings hanging on the walls.
Among them, they are either young ladies from wealthy families, or talented women who are well-known in Qing'an Prefecture. They have received a good education since childhood, and at least know a little about poetry and painting.
Many of the paintings in front of them, although they are quite satisfactory in terms of fine brushwork, are not outstanding, but they look so real, but they have only seen them in their lives, and when they think about the identity of the other party, they have a general idea in their hearts. It is really rare among the many talents in Qing'an Prefecture to have such boldness and courage to go out in the traditional pattern.
I'm afraid that most people in Fucheng thought that Mr. Li in "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" was only good at poetry, but they didn't know that his painting skills had already entered the hall, and calligraphy——had truly become a master realm.
It's ridiculous that those people actually rumored that Mr. Li is not good at calligraphy, but they don't know that just taking out the three words "Ruyifang" can stop everyone's mouths.
But there was one thing they couldn't figure out, since he had such a talent, why didn't he take up an official career, and why did he choose to be a small shopkeeper here
Could it be that at a young age, he has already seen through these things, and is a strange person who hides from the world
With such doubts in my heart, I am more interested in him.
Li Yi talked dryly, turned around to see these women, but found that all of them were staring at each other, obviously absent-minded, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. These women really came to buy Ruyilu ? Could it be that other shops sent them here to make trouble
Fortunately, these women did not disappoint Li Yi. After a while, I will buy two bottles for one bottle, four bottles for three bottles, and ten bottles for five bottles. All sold out.
"Girls, if you think this Ruyilu is useful, you might as well introduce it to your acquaintances. If you buy more than 20 bottles at one time, you can get two more bottles for free." Seeing these women, they took out from their purses one by one. Yinzi didn't even blink his brows, Li Yi immediately realized that these people were the real customers Ruyilu wanted to face, and said with a smile on his face.
Misses like them, who don't have many close friends in their boudoirs, just spread the word like this. Once the market is opened in this circle, the following things will come naturally.
Their propaganda is naturally much stronger than hiring people to yell in the streets.
"Naturally, this wishful dew has a lot of benefits for girls like us. Even if you don't tell me, we will tell other sisters." A woman smiled and said: "It's not early, don't disturb Mr. Li Let’s say goodbye to business.”
"Goodbye girls, welcome to visit next time."
Li Yi stood at the door of the shop, smiling and waving goodbye. Take the initiative to promote yourself, these girls are all good people...
For a moment, doubts suddenly appeared on his face.
"No, how did they know that my surname is Li?"
Beside him, just across the shop, the fat owner of the cloth shop looked at him, his face full of envy.
