OBS Chapter 401 Flower and Herb Shop
Chapter 401 Flower and Herb Shop
After the sound of firecrackers, under the attention of the surrounding crowd, Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing pulled down the red cloth covering the door plaque.
Someone in the crowd who could read started to read out loud, "Hua Cao Fang? What does Hua Cao Fang do?"
"Hey, look at some wild flowers on the counter inside. Could this be a shop selling flowers and plants?" someone in the crowd echoed.
"Hey, isn't this the Wen family's shop? Mrs. Wen is here too, so why not just ask her directly?" Those who could recognize Gu Qingqing in the crowd were really old customers, or they were there when the Wen family's braised pork restaurant opened last time. Otherwise, most people would only know Luo Meihua and Lu Xiaocao.
"Madam Wen, what are you going to sell in this half of the shop? Are you selling flowers?" the man just now spoke.
Gu Qingqing looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar face, smiled and said loudly, "Auntie, this is not a flower shop, we are a rouge shop, currently we only have soaps of various flavors for sale, and we will have new rouge and shampoo in a few days, if you need anything, come in and take a look."
"Hiss, soap? It sounds so familiar." Another voice sounded in the crowd.
Gu Qingqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was a man. She smiled helplessly. If it was a lady or a young lady who heard the word "soap", she would definitely know what was going on.
He is a grown man and he doesn't look like the type who would use soap.
There are people like him who are unaware of the situation, and there are also people who are aware of the situation.
"Soap? Could it be the same soap sold in the rouge shop on the front street? I heard that the soap there is limited every day, so we can't buy it even if we want to."
"That's impossible, right? The rouge shop on the front street belongs to the Shen family. I heard that they can't get the goods. If the Shen family can't get the goods, where can the Wen family's shop get the goods? Could it be that they saw that the business there was good, so they just took out anything here and called it soap?"
"That's impossible. The Wen family's stewed food is an honest business. How could they bother to do something like selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton?"
"Well, you have a point."
Gu Qingqing looked at the group of people who were arguing. She didn't interrupt and just waited with a smile on her face. She only spoke again when everyone had almost finished arguing.
Bang bang bang~
As the sound of her clapping hands rang out, the crowd finally quieted down.
"Listen to me, everyone. The soaps from Huacaofang are exactly the same as the soaps from Rouge Shop in the front street. They are all supplied by my workshop. If you don't believe me, just go into the shop and check it out. It's okay if you don't buy anything. Just consider it as helping me to have fun."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she slightly turned her body, made an invitation gesture with her hand, and invited everyone to enter the store.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look. I haven't seen what the so-called soap is. Can it be better than soapnuts?"
"I've only heard about it, but I haven't had a chance to see it."
Someone in the crowd whispered.
At this time, a woman dressed fairly decently glanced at the two people who had just spoken, with a hint of contempt on her face.
Following her, he walked to Gu Qingqing and said, "Don't frame us. They don't know what soap is. I have soap bought from there at home. If what you have here is a fake, I will definitely shout it out to you."
She couldn't believe that such a small store actually had a soap-making workshop.
You know, it's very hard to find soap in this town now.
She said there was a spot on her hand, which was actually only half the size of an egg. This spot was given to her by her master as a reward because she did a good job for him.
Gu Qingqing took a look at the person who came and saw that he was about the same age as her. Seeing a hint of contempt in his eyes, she smiled indifferently.
Still said warmly, "This sister-in-law used to take care of our workshop's business. Which scent do you usually use? Mugwort or flower scent? Or mint? Mulberry soap is used to wash your face. The more you wash, the better your skin will become. Sister-in-law, please go in and take a look. Is it the same as the one in your hand?"
Gu Qingqing smiled calmly and invited the other party to come into the shop and take a look.
She is a thousand-year-old Sun Wukong, why should she be afraid of the alchemy furnace!
The visitor originally had a bit of arrogance on his face, but when he saw that the other party could not only tell what the smell was, but also what the effects were, he was slightly shocked. Since the other party knew so much, could it be that she really did it?
The woman's face was immediately filled with smiles, and her voice became much softer when she spoke to Gu Qingqing. "Well, I managed to snatch a piece of mugwort last time. I'll go in and take a look."
Behind the counter in the shop, Wang Baoyu looked at the crowds of people outside the braised meat stall, thinking that many people would come into the shop to take a look later.
How could she know that after the firecrackers were set off, only a few people came in.
The person who came in looked at her like a rare item, looking left and right, ignoring the soap sample she placed on a tray on the counter, and asked, "Where is the soap? That's the soap?"
Wang Baoyu subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaocao beside him. With Lu Xiaocao's encouraging gaze, she raised her hand and pointed at the four soaps of different colors on the tray in front of her and said, "Hello, ladies. Our shop now has four kinds of soaps: mugwort, mint, floral, and mulberry. Not only does mugwort have a fragrance, it can also relieve itching and repel insects. Mint is best to use on this day, it will feel cool, and the mint fragrance will be on your body, and it can also repel mosquitoes. As for the other two, use them for washing your face, and your skin will become especially smooth."
Wang Baoyu introduced Gu Qingqing's words to him in detail these days. After she finished speaking, he felt sweat on his back.
Gu Qingqing stayed here for a while. Wang Baoyu and Xiaocao were more than capable of handling the two of them. She called Shengxi over and said, "Shengxi, your brother-in-law and I are going to visit a friend. You saw Gu Qi and Xiao Wennuan in the shop. Xiao Wennuan can walk by herself now. You can take her to the backyard to play so that she doesn't always want to run around alone."
It would have been fine if Gu Qingqing hadn't said anything. As soon as she said that, Xiao Wen Nuan immediately hugged Wen Wuyan's legs and said, "Daddy, hold me."
Wen Wuyan looked up at Qingqing, who bent down and said to little Wen Nuan, "You and your elder and second sisters are playing in the shop. We'll be back soon."
"No sister, I want daddy."
Xiao Wen Nuan's words were not clear, but Gu Qingqing still understood what she meant, "You are such a heartless little thing, your two sisters treat you badly? You only know how to ask for your daddy."
Wen Wuyan was so soft-hearted when his third daughter begged him to do so. He bent down to pick up little Wen Nuan and said to Gu Qingqing, "Qingqing, why don't you take her with you?"
"It's a burden to take her with us. We can just bring some preserved eggs when we go to the Shen Mansion. We'll have to buy some medicinal herbs when we come back. If you don't mind being tired, you can take them with you." Gu Qingqing said with a little warm touch on her cheek, then she thought of something and simply waved to the warmth and gentleness.
Then he said, "Every time I went to the Shen Mansion before, Madam Shen always complained that I didn't bring the children with me. Since the children are here today, why don't we go together?"
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, her eyes fell on Li Xin, "Daxin, you are also a child of the family, let's go together."
"I'll take the basket." Li Xin ran with excitement in his eyes.
Wen Shengxi was left to help in the shop, while Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing took their whole family to visit other relatives.
