Chapter 239: Live Sales

Outside Bai Ji Zahuodian, a crowd gathered to watch the excitement.

Xuancheng was already a place where merchants gathered, and after Xiao Moting defeated the barbarian army, the city became even more prosperous.

In the crowd watching the excitement, there were even foreign merchants with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Xiao Moting had someone take a sheet of white paper, write the large characters "All goods in this shop, one hundred wen each," and then post it at the entrance.

This novel sales model drew even more discussion from the crowd.

"Everything for one hundred wen? I've really never seen goods sold like this."

"These goods are all different, but the price is one hundred wen for each; it sounds quite worth it."

"One hundred wen isn't much; I can buy several items."

The crowd discussed it incessantly and curiously stretched their necks to watch.

Originally, Bai Wei was quite happy to see more and more people outside the door, but soon, she discovered something wrong.

Among the customers who came to watch, many were just looking for excitement, but very few were actually buying things.

Quite a few people stood to the side watching and simply wouldn't take out their money.

Bai Wei furrowed her brows, unable to figure it out.

It wasn't like this before when she sold laundry detergent for ten taels of silver a bag.

And now that the goods in the shop were only one hundred wen each, it was impossible that everyone couldn't afford them.

What exactly was going on?

Just then, Xiao Moting walked to her side, "Bai, I see you frowning; are you wondering why there are so many people watching, but so few actually taking out money to buy goods?"

"Yes, yes, I was just thinking about this problem."

Xiao Moting smiled, "In my estimation, it might be that everyone has never seen these goods and doesn't know their uses, so they dare not purchase them rashly."

"Oh, it seems that really is the reason." Bai Wei's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but blurt out in praise, "Xiao Moting, your mind is so sharp; if you were in our era, you would definitely be a big CEO."

"What is a CEO?" Xiao Moting asked, puzzled.

"It means a big boss." Enlightened by Xiao Moting's point, Bai Wei immediately rummaged through a pile of goods and found a megaphone, "I'll go explain the functions of these goods to everyone."

Jia Shun was shocked when he saw this.

This was the Prince of Zhenbei's bride-to-be, a person of noble status.

He hurriedly ran up and squeezed out a flattering smile, "Bai, let me find a few city guards to come and explain."

Bai Wei waved her hand, "They won't be able to explain it clearly; I'll do it myself."

These small commodities were all goods from her world, and the soldiers of Daliang simply didn't understand them.

After saying this, she picked up the megaphone and took a deep breath.

"Come and see, come and choose!"

"Walk by, don't miss out; all goods in the shop are one hundred wen."

"For just one hundred wen, if you buy it, you've earned it."

Her crisp voice traveled in all directions through the megaphone.

It immediately attracted another large group of people, blocking the street until not even a drop of water could pass through.

"Hey, why is this girl wearing a veil so loud?"

"What is she holding in her hand that can actually make sound?"

Seeing Bai Wei attract another large group of customers all at once, Jia Shun was dumbfounded.

He had lived this long and had never seen such a formidable girl!

"One hundred wen, you won't lose out, you won't be cheated! It won't break in three or five years, and it can even be passed down to the next generation."

The sales pitches coming out of Bai Wei's mouth were one after another, and none of them were repeated.

The onlookers were amused by her and laughed out loud, and the atmosphere was joyful.

Many people from nearby shops also ran over to watch the excitement.

Seeing Bai Wei recruit almost the entire street of people in just a few words,

Jia Shun had to be convinced and praised her sincerely.

"I admire you!"

Several trusted aides also widened their eyes in shock.

"Bai is amazing."

"She can write poetry, she can shout sales pitches, and it even rhymes."

"Tsk tsk, if you brought a Top Scholar from the Imperial Court over, he might not even speak as well as Bai."

Xiao Moting looked at the vibrant Bai Wei, a faint smile curling at his lips.

After Bai Wei had shouted for a while and saw that the crowd gathered at the door was about enough, she immediately called the shop assistant to bring the product samples to the door.

She was going to sell goods on the spot!

Bai Wei picked up a plastic basin and tapped it with her hand.

"Fellow villagers, this is a plastic basin from the Western Regions; it is light and easy to carry, holds water without leaking, and won't break even if dropped! Using it to wash your face, wash clothes, or wash your feet, it works for everything."

After finishing, she had the shop assistant take the plastic basin, fill it with hot water and cold water respectively, and bring it in front of the crowd.

The crowd had never seen a plastic basin and squeezed forward one after another.

"What is this basin made of? It's red and green, and it's even translucent; it's really pretty."

"The plastic basin is so light; it's much lighter than the heavy wooden basins we use."

"Carrying it to the river to wash clothes won't be tiring."

"One hundred wen isn't expensive; I'll buy one."

In front of the counter displaying the plastic basins, a group of people suddenly surged forward, taking out their money bags one after another to buy the plastic basins.

Bai Wei picked up another item and held it up high.

"This is called a hair-drying cap. After washing your hair, you put it on your head, and it can make your hair dry quickly."

"It is light, soft, and has strong water absorption! I will pour a cup of water on it right now; if a single drop leaks out, all the hair-drying caps in my shop will be free, and I will give them away to everyone."

Upon hearing that it would be free, the crowd surged forward with a whoosh.

In front of the crowd, Bai Wei poured a cup of water onto the hair-drying cap.

The thick hair-drying cap quickly absorbed the water completely.

Bai Wei gave the hair-drying cap a shake and unfolded it.

Sure enough, not a single drop of water leaked out.

The crowd watched in amazement, letting out bursts of "wow" and "oh" exclamations.

Regardless of gender, the ancients all had long hair.

For the ancients, washing hair was a troublesome matter, especially in winter, as it was very difficult to dry after washing, which easily led to colds.

But with the hair-drying cap, this matter of washing hair became much easier.

Many people were already itching to buy, and the impatient ones could no longer hold back, calling out on the spot to purchase one.

In front of the counter displaying the hair-drying caps, there was suddenly a sea of people, all scrambling to buy.

Bai Wei looked up and scanned the crowd, discovering that there were quite a few women among them.

Perhaps because the crowd scrambling for the plastic basins and hair-drying caps was mostly men, they felt embarrassed and were too reserved to squeeze forward.

Bai Wei rolled her eyes, then picked up a small Glass Bottle.

"Young ladies and married women, look over here. You all use balsam flowers to dye your nails, right? This is nail polish; apply it to your nails, and it dries in a moment, lasting for several days without fading."

After speaking, she pulled over Xiao Dabao, who was standing to the side.

"Dabao, come and be a model."

Bai Wei unscrewed the cap of the nail polish and applied it to Xiao Dabao's ten fingernails.

Xiao Dabao's nails instantly became bright red and dripping with color.

The nail polish even contained gold powder, and when hit by the sunlight, it sparkled even more.

At this, the women in the crowd could no longer sit still.

"Oh, this nail polish is truly beautiful, and it even sparkles."

"What a pretty nail polish, is it really only one hundred wen?"

"Such beautiful nail polish is actually only one hundred wen; it's truly too cheap. The pear-scented balm sold at the perfume shop in the city costs five taels of silver a box. I'll buy it."

The women who were originally reserved could no longer hold back and swarmed forward one after another.
