Chapter 357 Relieve anger

Luo Yanxing looked at Shopkeeper Qi and pretended to think: "Hmm~ How much should the price be reduced to?"

She raised her head slightly, as if thinking for a long time before she said, "I am a generous person, but I can't let people think I am stingy. I will lower the price a little bit, 7 or 8 cents? 5 or 6 cents? How about 3 or 4 cents directly?"

Shopkeeper Qi's face became more and more unsightly. As a colleague in the same industry, he knew very well that no matter the other party sold it for 7 or 8 cents or 3 or 4 cents, he would not lose money.

The problem is that Yanhongtang, as a famous rouge and powder shop in Qingshui County, would never sell soap for a few cents. If this girl who has Huichuntang as her backer really sells the soap at such a low price, then the sales volume of his soap would have to drop by 99%!

Seeing his expression, Luo Yanxing felt relieved and said with a smile: "Manager Qi, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will go back."

Shopkeeper Qi thought for a long time but couldn't think of a solution, so he had to let her go.

A waiter standing a little further back came over, watched Luo Yanxing's figure, and asked worriedly, "Boss, what should we do now?"

Even though they had slashed prices at Yanhongtang today, many people came, but not many actually bought. Upon asking, we found out that these guests had bought a lot from Luo Yanxing before, and none of them had been used up so far.

Although it was a rare price reduction at Yanhongtang today that could not be missed, most customers only bought one or two pieces. This was the case on the first day, and I'm afraid that even fewer would be sold later.

Manager Qi did not answer. He returned to Yanhong Hall with a sullen face and went straight to the backyard without greeting the guests.

Now he has no choice at all. Pancreas is just one of the goods in Yanhongtang, and it is not the most profitable one. Naturally, he cannot give up other goods.

He called the waiter over and said, "Tell them that our Yanhongtang's big sale will only last for one day, and we will return to the original price starting tomorrow."

The waiter was not surprised by his order. He responded and turned to leave.

But Shopkeeper Qi felt really aggrieved. A mere little girl almost ruined his business. Not only did he lose money, but he also lost his reputation.

Manager Qi, who was still angry, called his waiter over and gave him some instructions in a low voice.

The clerk's face turned pale and he showed some pity. "Boss, she is just a little girl in her teens. It's not good to do this... right?"

Shopkeeper Qi said coldly: "If you feel bad, you don't have to come tomorrow."

The guy immediately put aside his embarrassment and said, "I'll do it right away!"

On the second day, Luo Yanxing took only a few small pancreases as usual and wandered around Yanhongtang. When he arrived at the destination, he found that Yanhongtang was not accepting customers. After asking again, he learned that the price had gone up again today.

Luo Yanxing was very happy. Although he could make money by selling for 7 or 8 cents, or even 3 or 4 cents, he still made much less money per piece. If he wanted to make the same amount of money as now, he could only find a way to sell more. Even if more people were willing to buy, it would be more tiring to make more pancreas!

It’s best like this now!

She immediately returned to the clinic, told Song Ying and Lin Wenxuan the good news, refilled the basket, and then returned to East Street to continue selling.

But today's business was not very good. Some time ago, servants from various mansions bought a lot of pancreas from her, and they bought some more from Yanhongtang yesterday, and they could not use it up for a long time.

As for the other servants who did not buy the pancreas, they did not buy the ones that were 18 cents a piece at Yanhongtang yesterday, so naturally they would not spend 20 cents to buy her pancreas. Only a few people who were delayed by something yesterday and could not go to Yanhongtang to buy it bought a few small pancreas from her as a way of compensating themselves.

After thinking about it, Luo Yanxing went to North Street. Since the establishment of Jiahu Academy, North Street has become increasingly popular. Many calligraphy and painting shops have opened branches here, and some have even moved their main stores here.

In addition, many families rented houses around the academy for their children to live in in order to make it easier for them to study. Although the academy had dormitories, the conditions were rather simple.

Luo Yanxing's target was precisely these students who had rented houses.

If one is willing to rent a house when there is a place to stay, his family must be well-off. Scholars are the most particular about cleanliness, so I believe many of them would buy pancreas.

Luo Yanxing couldn't hawk her wares like she did in West Street, as this was a place where scholars lived. She looked around, walked to the door of a house that had its door open, and looked at the gate. "Is anyone there?"

While shouting, she stuck her head and looked inside. She saw a middle-aged woman washing clothes in the yard. When she heard her shout, she turned her head and looked at her with confusion in her eyes.

Without waiting for the other party to ask, Luo Yanxing smiled and said, "Auntie, do you want to buy some soap? The soap I bought is good and cheap."

The woman looked at her for a moment and suddenly laughed, "You are Miss Luo who sells pancreas in East Street, right?"

Luo Yanxing was stunned, "Auntie, do you know me?"

The woman reached out and picked up a piece of soap from the wooden basin. "We bought this soap from you. It's really effective. Give me three more pieces!"

Luo Yanxing was stunned again. She didn't remember selling the pancreas to this lady.

The woman saw through her confusion and explained with a smile, "Our young master is the eldest son of the magistrate. The other day, the young lady came to visit her brother and brought some soap, saying that she bought it from a girl named Luo, and it washes clothes very cleanly."

"Wash—clothes?" Luo Yanxing widened his eyes.

"Miss Luo must have come from a poor family, and she started out selling pancreas. When you interact more with these wealthy families, you will know that this is nothing." At this point, the woman also sighed, "When I first came to the Liu family as a slave, I couldn't believe the various ways of the wealthy families, but after a while I got used to it."

Luo Yanxing still found it unbelievable. Although pig pancreas was cheap, ordinary people could not eat it every day. But rich people used such expensive pancreas to wash clothes!

"My young master is very particular about clothes. He changes and washes them frequently. Please give me another three pieces. By the way, if you come to North Street again in the future, please come to my house and ask."

Hearing the woman's words, Luo Yanxing came back to his senses, and hurriedly took out three large pieces of pancreas and handed them over, saying, "Since you are a regular customer, I will give you a discount on the pancreas, only 21 cents a piece."

Unexpectedly, the woman waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's not easy for you to walk around the streets at such a young age. Our Liu family doesn't lack a few coins, so just take whatever you want."

Luo Yanxing was surprised at first, but he soon understood, because the pancreas was bought for the owner and the money was naturally paid by the owner, so the old lady didn't feel sorry at all.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Luo Yanxing was very happy. He wanted to tell Auntie that if you buy it for your own use, she can give you a cheaper price. But then he thought that Auntie didn't need to buy it herself and could just use the soap from the host's house.
