Chapter 808: Tang Dongfeng

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I’m High Scholar Chu’s wife.” Ye Muyu was not surprised that he did not know her. As she spoke, she showed the key in her hand.

Tang Dongfeng hurriedly bowed. “Madam, I failed to recognize you. Please punish me.”

“No need. It’s enough that you know me now. Are you the shopkeeper of the shop, Tang Dongfeng?” Ye Muyu asked.

The other two were young boys. Ye Muyu frowned slightly, thinking that the boys were not as suitable as girls to work in a rouge shop.

Tang Dongfeng quickly nodded. “Madam, I am Tang Dongfeng. This shop was ordered by the Master to be prepared for you. At this moment, I am bringing Liuzi and the others to clean up here. This used to be used by the Wang family to sell sweets and pastries. After the Wang family was raided, the goods inside were also confiscated by the yamen. I have been cleaning up here for two to three days. It is beginning to take shape. I wonder if Madam is still dissatisfied with it.”

Ye Muyu looked around the room. The room was 50 square meters, which was not small. It was made into a three-sided counter and the shelves were also made into a display type according to her request.

“I’m just missing a batch of mirrors.”

“Madam, mirrors are more precious, so the price is very high. I was just about to ask Madam what style and size you want. I’m afraid it will exceed the expected cost.”

“Where do you plan to buy the mirrors?” Ye Muyu asked.

“At the grocery store in the county… However, I feel that those foreign merchants also have good mirrors. It’s just that we have to rely on luck and wait. We might not be able to get them. I’m afraid that we might delay the opening of the shop.”

“It’s okay. If you have any ideas in the future, just let me know. Don’t worry about this and that. I’m not that petty.”

“You should go and ask those merchants from other places, or even merchants from other countries for the mirrors. If there are any with a reasonable price, see if you can exchange them for something. You don’t have to be so restrained as to use money. I think some merchants will also need to bring some goods back.”

“Oh right, this is a rouge and cosmetic shop, but it’s different from ordinary ones. Since you were called here by the Master, you must have your strengths. You just have to be bold and show them. You just have to report to me regularly. Other than that, we still need to find two more girls to sell goods in the shop.”

“I only have one request for the staff. You must use our skin care cream on a daily basis and have a deep understanding of the characteristics of all the goods. You must have professional ability and not sell them casually.”

When Tang Dongfeng heard that Ye Muyu had similar business views as him, he already felt that she was to his liking. He was not afraid of being restrained in the future. After hearing the latter part, he felt that she was more scheming. Just as he was feeling happy, he heard a term he did not understand. He scratched his head and asked directly, “Madam, I don’t quite understand what you mean by professional ability…”

Ye Muyu hesitated for a while. Then, she explained to him carefully as if nothing had happened. “In other words, you have to understand the specific benefits and effects of the goods when you sell them.”

“For example, lip balm. You have to use it yourself before you know the benefits. It’s easier to introduce it to others. Different people are suitable for different goods. When a woman uses rouge, not only must it make her look beautiful, but it must also suit her skin.”

“For example, when you men drink, everyone has a different preference for alcohol. Each type of alcohol has its own characteristics. Rouge has more types and is more complicated. It takes longer to take effect and is used on the skin, so you need to pay more attention to it. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
