Chapter 177 Gifts
Zhenbao Pavilion is now a banner of the West Market. If you want to buy something particularly precious, everyone is willing to come to Zhenbao Pavilion to see if there is anything suitable.
As the most famous mirror of Zhenbao Pavilion, it is naturally the focus of customers' attention.
Today, the mirrors sold by Zhenbao Pavilion are no longer just one style.
There are round, oval, square, rectangular, mirrors of various shapes.
There are palm-sized ones, half-foot-large ones, and one-foot-large ones. The sizes are much richer.
Of course, it is inevitable that because the production capacity of mirrors has increased and there are more types, it is already difficult to sell a palm-sized mirror for a hundred dollars a piece.
During this period, Xianger also felt the price pressure on mirrors.
Should we lower the price to sell more goods, or produce less and keep prices stable?
This is a difficult problem.
However, early this morning, when she saw the endless crowd of people, she suddenly had an idea.
“Buy a mirror and get soap for free!”
Xiang'er is preparing to launch a ten-day promotional event. No matter whether it is selling mirrors or soaps, in the end, Zhenbao Pavilion can make more money.
If you don’t buy a mirror, you can buy soap separately.
…
Yang Benman recently took in a new concubine. However, after being happy for a few days, he felt a little pain in his head.
"Master, you promised to give me a mirror. I won't go to court today, and there's nothing going on around me. Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion to have a look?"
"Zhenbao Pavilion, I used to buy mirrors at home. I remember that they were all bought at Cui's makeup shop."
Zhenbao Pavilion is the property of the Prince of Chu, which is not a secret in Chang'an City.
Yang Benman and Li Kuan had a bad relationship, which was also known to many people in the court; naturally he did not want to go to Zhenbao Pavilion to buy things.
"You are all old almanacs. Who doesn't go to Zhenbao Pavilion to buy mirrors nowadays? Master, you can also go to Cui's powder shop. Anyway, the two shops are facing each other. After we finish buying the mirror, we can stop by and buy a piece of soap.
, the one in the room is almost used up."
Yang Benman's eyes jumped twice, he would not have said anything if he had known better.
Now start to control your mouth, otherwise you won’t know what you bought after a while.
Fortunately, although Yang Benman's salary is not high, the Yang family is considered a local powerhouse in Hangzhou that has been in business for hundreds of years. The family has thousands of acres of fertile land and large tea gardens, which can support his expenses in Chang'an City.
Otherwise, it would be: "Living in Chang'an is not easy."
As the New Year is approaching, although the weather is cold, the West Market is bustling with people coming and going.
Yang Benman's carriage stopped at Xishikou, and he couldn't squeeze in, so he had to get down and walk with his concubine.
"Master, the cloak hanging at the door of this clothing store looks so beautiful. Let's go in and have a look."
After walking for a while, the lively scene in the clothing store of Prince Chu's Mansion caught my concubine's attention.
"Didn't you say you were going to buy a mirror?"
Yang Benman didn't like shopping at all, especially since he was considered a celebrity in Chang'an City. It would be a bit embarrassing if he met his colleagues.
"We need to buy a mirror, but it won't prevent us from buying a mirror if we go to look at the cloak."
Regardless of whether Yang Benman was happy or not, he was led into the clothing store by his arm.
The same scene happened one after another before arriving at the Zhenpin Pavilion. At first, Yang Benman protested once or twice, but then he became numb. He just wandered around and wasted his words arguing, but the result did not change.
"Let's go in and buy a mirror."
Seeing that noon had passed, the Treasure Pavilion finally appeared in front of us.
Yang Benman has never looked forward to seeing the Treasure Pavilion as much as he does today.
The concubine at home is not yet twenty years old, and Tang Dynasty does not need to bind his feet, so he is very strong. However, he is already over forty, and although he has not yet reached the point where his eyesight is dim, he still feels tired after walking all morning.
Why don't I go to court today, but I feel even more tired than when I went to court?
Could it be because you worked too hard last night?
No, I have to see if the drug store sells tiger penis when I go back later. When I get back home, let the cook stew it for me to eat.
"Wow, sir, look, this glass mirror is so big, you can see the whole upper body clearly."
After the concubine entered the Treasure Pavilion, she completely let herself go. It seemed that the half-day stroll in the morning did not affect her energy at all.
"Madam, you have really good taste. This mirror was launched just last month. You can't buy it anywhere else in the world except Zhenpin Pavilion. Moreover, in order to thank all our guests for your care, we at Zhenpin Pavilion,
A ten-day promotion will be launched starting today, and every customer who purchases a mirror will receive a free piece of soap."
"Soap?"
"Soap is a superior cleaning product than soap. Whether it is on your hands or on your body, as long as you apply soap on it, even if it is grease, it can be completely washed." The waiter in the shop has already received customers today. I don't know.
After several waves of customers, I have become very fluent in conversation, "Well, what's on this cabinet is soap, and there are samples next to the water tank at the door that you can try. It's free of charge."
"Does that mean you can get free soap if you buy this big mirror or the small mirror next to it?"
Hearing that you can try it out, I temporarily put down the question of whether soap is really better than soap.
Zhenpin Pavilion has always emphasized that children should not be deceived and should not lie.
"If you buy this large mirror, I can apply to the shopkeeper to give you two bars of soap. For other mirrors, I can only give you one bar."
"Ahem." Yang Benman suddenly saw the writing "Three Hundred Guans" written next to the mirror, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Master, are you catching a cold? Didn't you wear a woolen sweater and woolen pants today? It's not cold inside the Treasure Pavilion."
Yang Benman:……
After struggling for a moment, I felt that I had already spent dozens of dollars today. If I kept buying it like this, even if my hometown had thousands of acres of fertile land, I wouldn't be able to bear it.
"If you ask me, actually this small one is pretty good. It's easy to carry. You can even carry it in your arms when you go out."
This is not the first time that the guys have seen such a scene. Xiang'er even mentioned how to deal with such a situation when training them.
"This makes sense. In fact, the best mirror sold by Zhenpinge is this small one, which is basically enough for daily use."
After Yang Benman heard what the waiter said, he rarely smiled.
This Treasure Pavilion doesn't seem to be that annoying.
"Okay then, let's go with the smaller one. If you buy the smaller one, can you also get two pieces of fertilizer... It's soap, right?"
"If we sell this soap alone, it costs three guan per piece. The soap that is even worse than this soap costs five guan in some shops." The waiter replied with a smile.
In the end, Yang Benman took his concubine, bought a small mirror and a gift of soap and left the Treasure Pavilion.
Chapter completed!
