Li Yi thought hard for a long time to come up with a marketing strategy, but he didn't use it after all.
In the last few days, the number of customers in Ruyi Workshop suddenly increased. Every day before noon, the Ruyi Dew produced in a hurry the day before was sold out.
Most of the customers were women, and their clothes and temperament were all extraordinary. They didn't look like ordinary people. From this point of view, those women were really trustworthy, and he didn't waste the 10% discount he gave them.
The only thing he couldn't stand was that some women looked at him in a strange way after entering the store. Every time he thought about it, he got goosebumps.
Apart from that, there were also some elegant scholars who bought the Ruyi Dew. Scholars who studied all day would inevitably feel dizzy. There were only a few people who could lift their heads and prick their buttocks to keep their spirits up, and they were the ones who didn't have the money to buy the Ruyi Dew.
For those rich scholars, they could spend one tael of silver to buy a bottle of Ruyi Dew. When they were tired from reading, they could drop a few drops and instantly feel energetic. Their recitation efficiency would skyrocket. It was as if God was helping them. Of course, they wouldn't feel bad about spending one tael of silver.
Fang's smile never disappeared from his face. The number of customers increased day by day. According to the current situation, the market should be far from saturated.
Li Yi did not take the opportunity to rush the production and pass off shoddy goods as quality goods. Before he ran out of money, it was more important to build up his reputation. This was only the first product launched by Ruyi Lane. Only by building up his reputation could he earn more money in the future.
Of course, the rarer something is, the more expensive it is. If Ruyi Dew was as abundant as plain water, only a fool would spend one tael of silver to buy it.
With the increase of customers, Li Yi and Xiao Huan were obviously too busy to take care of all the customers at the same time.
For the past two days, he had been thinking in his heart whether he should recruit more people or not. The business of Ruyi's Workshop was already on the right track. If he had to do all the small things himself, it would go against his original intention.
Making money was only for the sake of accumulating original capital and using the fastest time to embark on the path of retirement. In order to make money, he had to wake up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs. He had never been so tired in his previous life. It was not worth it.
Ruyi Workshop's business was booming. Every day, before noon, it would be sold out and closed for the day. Naturally, it attracted the attention of many people.
Of course, the people who felt it the most were the surrounding shops.
One was as crowded as a marketplace, while the other was completely deserted. After asking around, they found out that the newly opened shop was selling a small bottle of 'Ruyi Nectar' for one tael of silver. What was even more surprising was that there were actually so many people who went to buy it …
As for the effects of the Ruyi Dew, they had also seen it from the signboard at the entrance.
Wasn't slapping myself twice more effective than the Ruyi Dew?
It repels mosquitoes and relieves the itch. What's wrong with being bitten twice by mosquitoes? You're actually spending a tael of silver to buy this thing.
Prevents diseases. Nonsense. What kind of panacea do you think you're selling?!
However, after hearing about it, they only curled their lips and felt that no one would buy it. Just like that, it successfully squeezed into the circle of Qing 'an Prefecture's socialites. It became the new favorite of the young ladies of Qing' an Prefecture. Even the scholars of Qing 'an Prefecture held it in high esteem. This caused the business of Ruyi Workshop to flourish day by day.
Of course, this was not without its disadvantages. After all, the customers who came out of the shop would sometimes walk around the surrounding shops and buy things when they were in a good mood. This caused their business to increase. Their profits increased by more than ten percent.
Regarding this, the shopkeepers felt extremely complicated. They didn't know whether they should be happy or worried …
…
…
At noon, the sun had not yet risen above their heads. In Ruyi Workshop, Li Yi had already sold the last bottle of Ruyi Dew. At the entrance of the shop, he hung a 'Sold Out Today' sign. He sat on a chair tiredly. Xiao Huan walked over from the side and placed her small hand on his shoulder, gently massaging it.
His eyes stared ahead in a daze, as if he had a lot on his mind.
When the first girl secretly gave him the handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks and 'Immortals of the Magpie Bridge', Li Yi realized that something was wrong.
Later, he saw a few girls secretly fighting over an order that he had personally written. The board on the door was stolen by someone in the middle of the night. It was replaced with a new one, and within two days, it was stolen again …
At this time, he finally understood that he … had most likely been exposed.
The spread of 'Immortals of the Magpie Bridge' was purely accidental. As for 'Shuidiao Getou', it was purely forced by that Shen Zhao. He had not the slightest bit of precaution and had inexplicably become so popular …
Li Yi expressed his innocence. He only wanted to do a small business. He didn't want to become some number one scholar. Compared to this title, it was more practical to give him a few hundred taels of silver.
He was half happy and half worried. Although his peaceful life had been disturbed, it wasn't completely without benefits.
The booming business of Ruyi Workshop was most likely due to the fame brought about by the two poems. After all, in this world, the effect of a scholar was equivalent to the effect of a celebrity in the future. If Yang Yanzhou held a small porcelain bottle and said a few lines, "Ruyi nectar, women say it's good after using it …" and put up such an advertisement, perhaps even the doorsill of this place would be trampled to pieces by the women who admired him.
Of course, with Li Yi's current fame, if he personally stood up to promote Ruyi Workshop, the effect would probably be even better.
Then, he would throw out a few famous poems, famous paintings from past dynasties, and a copy of Wang Xizhi's' Preface to the Orchid Pavilion '. He would hang them on the wall. Anyone who wanted to enter the shop would have to pay one tael of silver …
Never underestimate the temptation of these things to scholars. Although this was extremely vulgar, Li Yi did not doubt that there would still be countless people flocking to the shop.
Up until now, earning money was still his main goal in life. However, Li Yi could not accept this kind of immoral way of earning money with a clear conscience for the time being.
The most difficult and stressful period had passed. The shop's business should be stable for a while. Li Yi also finally let out a sigh of relief. It was time to give himself a break and relax.
…
…
The little servant girl stood behind Li Yi. The strength of her hand was gentle. She could see that the son-in-law was thinking about something. She slowed down her breathing and tried not to make a sound.
However, the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be concealed. The matters of Ruyi Workshop had always been handled by her and Li Yi. When she thought of something, her eyes turned into crescent moons. "These days, son-in-law has earned a lot of money …"
