"Welcome …"
It was obvious that this was the first time the two young ladies had heard this greeting. Their expressions froze and a trace of astonishment appeared on their pretty faces.
In a world that was filled with "please come in", "what would you like to eat", "what would you like to order", and "what would you like to order", the words "welcome" from a pretty servant girl in a shop that they didn't know what it was selling was extremely refreshing and refined.
The servant girl's attitude made them feel very comfortable. Just as they walked into the shop, their moods strangely became better.
When they passed by the street earlier, they discovered that there was a new shop called "Ruyi Square". They couldn't tell what it was selling from the shop's name, but the three words on the shop's signboard seemed to have the demeanor of a great family. It was very extraordinary and compared to the other shops along the street, it was like a crane among a flock of chickens.
This made the two ladies a little curious and they couldn't help but walk in.
However, this extraordinary servant girl was only secondary. When the two ladies raised their heads and looked into the shop, their delicate bodies couldn't help but tremble. One of the ladies even covered her small mouth and almost cried out.
They saw that there were many paintings hanging on the walls of the shop. What was strange was that in these paintings, whether it was the mountains, rivers, or people, they all looked like they were about to break out of the paintings. At first glance, even a normal person would be shocked.
First, it was the elegant calligraphy. Now, it was the extremely strange paintings. This caused the two ladies' curiosity towards this shop to increase greatly.
"Two misses, please sit."
The servant girl's voice was gentle. The two ladies walked to the side of the table and chairs. No matter whether it was the floor or the chairs, they were all spotless. The moment they sat down, the servant girl had already brewed fragrant tea and stood quietly to the side.
After walking into the shop, no matter if it was the environment or the servant girl's attitude, they all felt that it was just right. They didn't feel cold or annoyed. It was quiet and comfortable. There seemed to be a unique fragrance in the air that made people feel relaxed and happy.
Following the scent, the two ladies' gazes quickly focused on a porcelain bottle on the table.
"What is this?" Confusion appeared in the eyes of the two women as they looked at the servant girl.
"This item is called 'Ruyi Dew'. It's our shop's newest product. It has the effect of cooling, cooling, refreshing, repelling mosquitoes, and relieving itching." A voice came from behind. The two girls turned around and saw a handsome young man walking out from behind the counter. He looked at them and said with a smile.
"This young master is so handsome …" Seeing the handsome young master with a jade-like face, the two women blushed slightly and thought to themselves.
"May I ask young master, how do I use this' Ruyi Dew '?" She didn't expect the shopkeeper to be such a handsome young master. A woman stood up and said with a faint smile.
Li Yi opened the porcelain bottle on the table and introduced it to them, "When bathing or washing clothes, put a few drops of Ruyi Dew in it. It can cool down in summer and relieve itching in autumn. In addition, when washing every day, if you put a few drops of Ruyi Dew in the water, it can also reduce the possibility of getting sick. "
The greatest effect of floral water was actually not repelling mosquitoes, but its sterilization function. It was just that the ancients did not have the concept of bacteria, and their awareness of hygiene was far from comparable with modern times. Li Yi could only change to a popular explanation.
The two women had personally felt the refreshing effect of Ruyi Dew. At this time, the woman who spoke just now asked again, "Young master said that this Ruyi Dew can repel mosquitoes, is it true?"
"Miss, you can try it. If it is false, I am willing to pay you back double the original price." Li Yi said with a smile.
He had personally tried the effect of floral water. Although the conditions were limited and the effect could not be compared with the later generations, he was still very satisfied with the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
When the woman heard the words, her face showed obvious interest.
Since the beginning of autumn, mosquitoes were rampant. She would be bitten by mosquitoes almost every day. She did not know why, after the maids in the mansion were bitten, they would get a small bump and itch for a while. Whenever she was bitten, it would immediately become red and swollen. It was extremely itchy and unbearable. Many methods had been tried, but there was still not much effect.
In addition, for women, it was their nature to love beauty. How could they let others see such an embarrassing appearance? They could only stay in the tent in the room all day, and even their mood became gloomy.
Today's weather was fine, and she came out for a walk with her friends. She did not expect that there would be such a strange thing in a newly opened shop here.
If what this young master said was true, no matter how high the price was, she would buy this Ruyi Dew at all costs.
"May I know the price of this Ruyi Dew?" The woman looked up at Li Yi and asked.
Whether this thing was useful or not, she still had to try it out. However, since he dared to say that just now, he must have great confidence in this thing.
"One tael of silver for each bottle."
Li Yi had been observing this woman. Looking at her clothing, she seemed to be a young lady from a rich family. She shouldn't be scared away by this price, right?
"One tael of silver?" The woman's expression froze when she heard this, as if she did not dare to believe it.
This kind of strange thing was actually only selling for one tael of silver?
Even a piece of jewelry that she usually wore would cost dozens to hundreds of taels. One tael of silver, to her, was really nothing.
Seeing the shocked expression on her face, Li Yi thought that she was scared by the price. After thinking for a moment, he clenched his teeth and said, "Miss, you are the first customer since the opening of this shop. You can enjoy a half price discount. You only need five taels of silver to take away a bottle of Ruyi Dew."
The woman returned to her senses and said with a smile, "One tael of silver is one tael of silver. If this thing is useless, I will come find you again tomorrow."
The woman in front of him was obviously a fair, rich, and beautiful woman with strong principles. No matter what, she was not willing to pay half price. She took out one tael of silver from her purse and asked Li Yi again for instructions on how to use it. Then, she left the shop with the Ruyi Dew.
After walking out of the shop, her close friend, who had been by her side and had not spoken, looked back into the shop. She turned her head and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. She whispered, "What do you mean come find me tomorrow? Could it be that our Chen family's young lady has taken a fancy to that young man?"
A trace of red appeared on the woman's pretty face. She glared at her friend. "You little girl, don't talk nonsense. If this Ruyi Dew doesn't have the effect that he said, I will naturally ask him for an explanation."
"An explanation?" The woman beside her heard this and laughed mockingly. "I think it's more like asking for a husband …"
"You damned girl, if you dare to talk nonsense again, see if I don't tear your mouth apart …"
"I don't dare, I don't dare …"
"I will teach you a lesson when we get back …"
The two figures gradually disappeared from the street. Inside the shop, Li Yi put away the tael of silver and let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what, this first bottle of Ruyi Dew was finally sold …
