Chapter 66: Sales of taels a day
As Chunhong explained everything one by one, the maids and old women who had just lined up were staring with their eyes wide open!
Just these few things, thirty taels of silver?!
Although it is not the most expensive thing they have ever bought, it is still quite expensive!
"Good Chunhong, can you take this thing to let my master have a look?" The maid begged Chunhong who was holding the box.

The ladies inside take too long to try on their makeup. It takes half a cup of tea for one person to go in. How long will it take for me to wait in line until it’s my turn?
The master can't wait that long.

The maid Chunhong became cautious when she heard this: "I need to ask my master and get his consent first."

Fortunately, the young lady was willing to make friends with the ladies of other families, so she agreed immediately.

So Chunhong held the box again and explained the same thing to the ladies in each carriage.

When the ladies from various families saw the boxes of exquisite rouge with their own eyes, they were all very excited.

Seeing that there were too many people, they didn't bother to try it out anymore, and asked their maids and old women to find familiar people and ask them to help buy it together...

So the ladies who came out later bought more than one or two boxes, and some even bought more than ten boxes!

This is when the guards at the door come in handy.

They helped carry the pile of boxes to the carriage...

When the line was only about the fifteenth person, Ruyi came out apologetically and told everyone: "I'm sorry, we're sold out."

As soon as these words were spoken, the dozen or so maids and old women queuing behind became anxious.

“There are only so many people here, how come it’s sold out?”

"That's right! We've been waiting in line for almost half an hour!"

Ruyi hurriedly explained: "We are transferring goods from the Marshal's Mansion to this side. Please wait for a cup of tea."

It turns out that the Marshal's Office still has stock.

Everyone knows where the Marshal's Mansion is. It's not far away and we'll be there in a moment.

Ruyi was also particularly thoughtful and prepared cooled mung bean soup for the maids and servants in line.

"I had mung bean smoothie before, but I'm afraid drinking more will upset my stomach, so this bowl is not cold, please forgive me."

The maids and nurses in line were holding the sweet green bean paste in their hands, and they could no longer utter any harsh words.

"...It doesn't matter. It's mainly because we bought too much in the front."

"That's right! Every time someone goes in, they buy 20 or 30 boxes. If they buy like that, no matter how much we stock up, it won't be enough!"

"We are all waiting. The shopkeeper just needs to have someone deliver it..."

Ruyi asked Chunhua to give an extra portion of mung bean paste and asked the maids to give it to the master waiting in the carriage and explain the reason...

After calming down the customers in line, Qiuyue asked the daughters and wives who had tried on the makeup to confirm the quantity and pay the money first, and then wait aside for other customers to enter the store to try out the makeup...

Soon, the Marshal's Office sent another large box.

Qiuyue asked Chunhua and Jixiang to deliver the goods according to the quantity to the ladies and daughters who had paid earlier, and then continue to sell the rest.

Seeing that the second box was almost empty, Ruyi went out early this time to explain to the five remaining maids and nannies.

"The goods in the shop are sold out. You can let the masters come in to try on the makeup first. After the trial, I guess the Marshal's Mansion will deliver the goods."

With the delivery of the third box of goods, the remaining ladies in the queue were finally satisfied.

It was almost noon now.

With a sign hanging at the door saying “Sold out today, please come early tomorrow”, Tao Tao Ji’s first day of opening was a complete success.

Because Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun had consulted in advance and asked the five girls to practice dealing with various situations at home, they were able to handle the situation calmly and methodically that day.

The five girls cleaned up, calculated sales and counted the money in an orderly manner.

After receiving the report from the personal guard, Fu Chenan finally came to the shop.

As an unmarried man, it was not appropriate for him to entertain guests in a shop full of ladies and girls. Therefore, on the opening day, he only lit a firecracker, said hello to everyone at the door and left.

"General, we sold 300 gift boxes in one day!" Ruyi and Qiuyue, who were in charge of the accounts, were excited, and the other three beauties also had sparkling eyes!

One large wooden box holds one hundred copies, and three large wooden boxes hold three hundred copies. One copy sells for thirty taels of silver, so three hundred copies are...nine thousand taels of silver!

This is about getting rich quickly!

Fu Chenan looked at the three boxes full of silver coins and silver ingots, his face solemn: "Send two boxes of silver to the bank and exchange them for ten taels of gold ingots."

"Use the remaining box of silver to buy the best furniture, furnishings, and food to send to the West Guest House. Make sure to serve Mr. Xisi who lives in the guest house well."

"Yes." The guards stepped forward and carried three boxes of silver onto the carriage.

After Fu Chenan returned home, he ran to find Qian Laoguai who lived in the West Guest House and said, "Boss Xisi, what are you going to do next..."

Qian Laoguai was flattered: "General Fu, you are embarrassing me!"

"There's no one here in private, so you can just call me Laoguai. Why are you still so polite..."

Fu Chenan looked at Qian Laoguai very seriously and said, "From now on, you will be the boss of Xisi in front of others and behind others, so as not to be exposed if you are not careful."

"Yes! I'll remember it." Qian Laoguai agreed and really acted like the boss of Sith.

For lunch, Fu Chenan asked Bai Lu to carefully cook the wild delicacies that his personal guards had bought temporarily. Small portions were sent to Boss Xisi, while large portions were delivered to his own yard.

After the food was delivered, Fu Chenan closed the courtyard door, asked his personal guards to guard the door, and went to the Space-Time Supermarket to find Xiao Yingchun with the food box.

Xiao Yingchun knew that Fu Chenan was coming to deliver lunch, so she deliberately ate breakfast a little later.

Because Fu Chenan’s habit is to have lunch at two o’clock in the afternoon.

Today's dishes are roast rabbit and lamb in a basin with pie.

Have another vegetable and a dessert.

Xiao Yingchun looked at the bowl full of dry pancakes and her eyes widened: "You eat so much in one meal?"

There are more than a dozen palm-sized and palm-thick dry pancakes!
Even if two people eat it, this is still a lot.

What's more, there was a roasted rabbit with its head and feet removed and a basin of mutton?!

Fu Chenan nodded: "Yes, I can eat this much in one meal. You go first, how many do you want to eat?"

Xiao Yingchun picked one up silently: "That's enough for me."

Fu Chenan looked at Xiao Yingchun deeply and said, "You really save food."

Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan silently: You are really a waste of food.

She suddenly understood why Marshal Fu Zhonghai was a butcher in his early years but was penniless: Fu Chenan really had the ability to bankrupt an entire family.

Fu Chenan demonstrated how to open the pancake from the edge into two pieces, put cucumber shreds and roasted rabbit meat in the middle, and it would become a roujiamo.

"I just recovered from my injury. The cook refused to let me eat spicy food. Otherwise, it would be more fragrant and delicious..."

After hearing this, Xiao Yingchun quietly went to the shelf, took out a bottle of Lao Gan Ma and opened it.

The aroma of fermented black beans and chili peppers wafts quietly.

Fu Chenan was silent, and suddenly felt that the roujiamo in his hand lacked soul.

Xiao Yingchun took a spoon and smeared some Lao Gan Ma on the Roujiamo in Fu Chenan's hand: "Is it ready to eat?"
