The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

There was a pleasant sound of doubt in the downtown ......

"Perfume? What is that?" Qin Ruochan was confused by this new word when she met with a group of female companions.

One of the female companions took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to her, explaining excitedly: "We don't know very well, but Sister Chai bought a few bottles today and gave me a bottle, you can smell it." "

Qin Ruochan took the porcelain bottle that resembled a small wine jar, gently pulled the cork, and sniffed it close to the tip of her nose. Today's sun is shining, and it is a good time to go out, but this fragrance makes her instantly surprised, "What is this? This fragrance is so strong!".

"Yes, isn't it particularly fragrant, even more fragrant than the imperial garden where Princess Changle lives!" the female companions echoed.

Qin Ruochan has lived in the Huguo Mansion since she was a child, and she is no stranger to all kinds of spices. Since the Warring States Period, spices have been widely spread in the land of China, such as "the smoke is oblique and the fog is horizontal, and the pepper orchid is burned". However, it was the first time she had encountered such a fresh and elegant perfume as refreshing as the musk of orchids, and she even felt that its fragrance was far better than that of ambergris used in the palace.

"Where did you buy this perfume?"

The female companion replied: "Sister Chai said that a new shop was opened in the west of the city this morning, specializing in this perfume. Since we're going out today, why don't we stop by the west of the city and have a look. "

"Okay, let's go now!" Qin Ruochan readily agreed, but an inexplicable feeling rose in her heart: first the spirits she encountered yesterday, and then today's perfume, Chang'an seems to have become more and more prosperous during this time.

............

In the new store in the west of the city, the store name "Yunshang You" is the store that Li Changge entrusted Ying'er to open in Chang'an. The store's main product is perfume, and although Li Changge's other innovative products are not yet on the shelves, the quality of this fragrance is enough to kill all the fragrance products today.

Less than ten minutes after opening, it was initially just a few women who were curious to stay, but soon attracted more and more people, and in the blink of an eye, the store was already crowded with people.

It turned out that Ying'er deliberately chose the day when her daughter's family went out shopping in the first year of junior high school to open, which made Li Changge secretly sigh that the natives of this time and space have an accurate grasp of customs and folklore.

At this moment, Qin Ruochan also came to the Yunshang Hidden Gate, and was deeply attracted by the grand scene in front of ...... eyes

There

was a crowd in front of Yunshang Youmen, and Qin Ruochan carefully selected in the crowd.

Most of the surrounding crowds are dignitaries and their families in Chang'an City, and their spending power is not bad. Even the maids and servants have a certain economic strength in these large households.

Less than a moment after the opening and sales, Ying'er was stunned by the hot scene in front of her. More than 100 bottles of expensive perfumes priced at 10 taels of silver were sold out within a single stick of incense. She had to hurry up and let the newly recruited maids continue to receive customers, while she quickly went to the back hall to replenish the stock and report the situation to Li Changge.

"Childe, the sales of this perfume are so good! We haven't even done gongs and drums when we open today, but we ......" Ying'er reported excitedly.

Li Changge smiled indifferently and explained: "I said that although perfume is just a simple combination of spice extract and water, as long as it is put on the market, it becomes another luxury product. Therefore, when selling, it is necessary not to shout and sell like ordinary goods, but to create a sense of mystery and rarity, so as to attract more people's attention. In fact, you know more about the way of business than I do, and I will compile a booklet of business theory for you later, so you can study it in depth. "

When Ying'er heard this, she was both admired and moved in her heart, and felt as if she had become a disciple of Gongzi. Just as the two were talking, the call from the front store rang out again.

"Sister Ying'er, is the replenishment ready, the guests in front can't wait!".

"Sister Ying'er, the third lady of the Yueguo Mansion has arrived, hurry up and replenish the stock!"

"Sister Ying'er, the wife of the king of Pingdong is also waiting!".

There

was a hot scene inside and outside the store, and all the perfumes were sold out, which greatly exceeded Li Changge's expectations. He originally thought that in ancient times, productivity was low, and luxury goods such as perfume might not be able to sell well, but he did not expect that Chang'an City was far richer than he imagined.

"Keep refueling, don't be impatient. I suggest you re-examine your pricing strategy, starting with low-end products and trying to sell high-end perfumes in limited quantities, which can not only maintain the uniqueness of the product, but also further stimulate consumers' desire to buy. Li Changge calmly gave guidance.

At that time, ......

Not only was Li Changge surprised, but Qin Ruochan also caught a glimpse of a woman in Yunshang Youyou in the crowd, and she felt that this shopkeeper was a little familiar, it seemed to be the maid she met yesterday. But after thinking that it might be a delusion that he was drunk, he put aside his doubts for a while and focused on choosing his favorite products.

Qin Ruochan, as a well-known little witch in Chang'an City, although she has a free-spirited personality and a wide range of preferences, she likes to read and practice martial arts on weekdays, but she is a girl after all, and she also likes perfume and other items that can keep her fresh fragrance. However, the spices of the Tang Dynasty were mostly various peppers, and although they could be tasted, they were far less rich and elegant than the perfumes seen today.

It didn't take long for another female clerk to come to the front desk with a box to replenish the stock, and Qin Ruochan directly offered to buy twenty bottles of perfume and was willing to pay double the price. This move immediately caused dissatisfaction among other customers, who bid one after another, and the bidding instantly soared to 50 taels of silver per bottle. Qin Ruochan realized that the charm of this perfume was really irresistible, and even she couldn't resist it.

At this moment, Qin Ruochan found a familiar figure behind the counter - it was the owner of the liquor yesterday and the maid beside him. She exclaimed in surprise, "Is it you? Why are you here?" The displeasure and confusion in her heart came naturally, and she suddenly lost her anger when she remembered that the liquor she had drunk yesterday almost poured herself down.

"Do you still have yesterday's wine, I don't want any more perfume, bring me another pot!" Qin Ruochan said coldly.

Li Changge also did not expect to meet this trouble-like school girl again in his own store. For yesterday's incident, he has been relieved, after all, the other party has lost money. But in the face of Qin Ruochan's request to buy more wine, he couldn't help but be confused.

"Yesterday's wine, what kind of wine?" Li Changge asked in confusion, "Do you mean that you drank a pot of wine for five taels of gold yesterday?

Qin Ruochan insisted: "It's just that I drank your pot of five taels of gold wine yesterday!"

Li Changge suddenly realized after hearing this, and was stunned: "Yesterday...... You drank alcohol ???

".

"Alcohol?'s wine yesterday is called alcohol?" Qin Ruochan's face was full of doubts.

Li Changge explained: "That's right, it's alcohol extracted from alcohol, which is used to disinfect and light the fire, and it can't be drunk at all. You actually drank it ???

".

When Qin Ruochan heard this, her face instantly turned red, she never thought that she had accidentally drunk undrinkable alcohol. At this moment, she felt as if she had become a stupid clown, and she made a foreign appearance in front of everyone.

Before her embarrassment dissipated, she was pushed aside by the buyers around her who were eager to buy perfumes.

"Why are you still here if you don't buy it?"

"People sell perfumes, don't interject if you don't know how to talk nonsense, local goods~!".
