Chapter 1245 News From Yecheng

In the afternoon of the same day, shopkeeper Chen once again received some customers who came out of curiosity.

Those customers left the store only after explaining that the soaps were now sold out.

After a busy day, shopkeeper Chen wrote a letter to Cao Jie that night, explaining the situation of the stores in Yecheng and the situation of soap sales.

At the same time, Cao Jie was also asked to send the next batch of soap to Yecheng as soon as possible.

Shopkeepers from other shops around the soap shop saw with their own eyes that this soap, which they had never heard of before, was sold out in just one day.

They are also very curious about this, what is it that sells so well?

And the people who come to buy are either maids from wealthy families or servants from official families.

But seeing that Shopkeeper Chen was so busy, no other shopkeeper bothered Shopkeeper Chen at this time.

After shopkeeper Chen finished writing a letter to Cao Jie in the evening, he felt a little hungry.

Shopkeeper Chen, who came to Yecheng for the first time, went to a shop selling antique calligraphy and paintings next to the soap shop and asked the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper of the antique calligraphy and painting shop saw Shopkeeper Chen coming to the door, he immediately smiled enthusiastically and said:

"Shopkeeper Chen, welcome, please come inside."

The shopkeeper of this antique calligraphy and painting shop is named Zhang. He is about the same age as shopkeeper Chen, both in their forties.

Shopkeeper Zhang had long wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Shopkeeper Chen. Naturally, he was very enthusiastic when Shopkeeper Chen came to visit.

"Thank you very much. I haven't asked the shopkeeper what your surname is yet."

Shopkeeper Chen was a little puzzled when he heard that the shopkeeper of the antique calligraphy and painting shop already knew his last name.

Little did they know that the maid and servant who went to buy soap greeted shopkeeper Chen politely.

Not only the shopkeeper Zhang of the antique calligraphy and painting shop, but also the shopkeepers of several other nearby shops also learned that the shopkeeper of this newly opened shop was named Chen.

"Hahaha, please give me your surname Zhang."

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled at Shopkeeper Chen, and then handed Shopkeeper Chen a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Shopkeeper Chen thanked him and took the teacup, took a sip and said to shopkeeper Zhang:

"I am new to your place, please take care of me from shopkeeper Zhang."

"No problem, hahaha."

Shopkeeper Zhang immediately laughed when he heard this.

Shopkeeper Chen is not selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings next door to Shopkeeper Zhang, so there is no problem in taking care of him.

As Bai Feng from Yecheng, shopkeeper Zhang is still very proud.

After hearing shopkeeper Chen's Hanzhong accent, he became even more enthusiastic.

After the two chatted for a while about the customs and customs of Yecheng, shopkeeper Zhang finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.

"Shopkeeper Chen, what's so special about the soap you sell? Why do you keep getting so many customers?"

A new store that has just been renovated can quickly become famous in Yecheng and attract so many customers.

Shopkeeper Zhang is really curious about the secret behind this.

After hearing this, shopkeeper Chen showed a confident smile.

Then shopkeeper Chen took out a piece of soap from his arms and handed it to shopkeeper Zhang.

After Shopkeeper Zhang took the soap from Shopkeeper Chen, he immediately felt a fragrance.

"It smells like osmanthus. Is this the soap you sell?"

Shopkeeper Zhang put the soap in his hand and looked at it for a moment before asking Shopkeeper Chen.

"Yes, this is the only product sold in our store, soap."

"Shopkeeper Zhang, can you bring some clean water so that I can show Shopkeeper Zhang the magical effects of this soap."

Shopkeeper Chen heard this and smiled at Shopkeeper Zhang.

After shopkeeper Zhang asked the waiter to bring a basin of water, he heard shopkeeper Chen continue:

"This soap is an excellent choice for hand cleansing, facial cleansing, and laundry."

"Now Shopkeeper Zhang will know after just one try."

Then shopkeeper Chen briefly explained to shopkeeper Zhang how to use soap.

"As expected!"

"This soap is so magical, no wonder it sells so well!"

Shopkeeper Zhang washed his hands and face with soap and a rag, and then said to Shopkeeper Chen in surprise.

Shopkeeper Chen smiled again when he heard this.

There are no sales skills or know-how at all, it’s all based on the strength of the product!

Shopkeeper Zhang now finally knows why Shopkeeper Chen's shop is so popular and why people buy this soap so much.

But he couldn't copy this method, and he couldn't copy it at all.

Shopkeepers Chen and Zhang were chatting happily, and they didn't ask for the soap back.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, this soap is just for you."

"I came to shopkeeper Zhang to ask if there is a restaurant nearby."

Only then did Shopkeeper Chen finally mention the reason why he came to Shopkeeper Zhang.

Shopkeeper Zhang was very surprised when he heard this. He really couldn't put it down.

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Chen!"

"Shopkeeper Chen asked the right person when he asked where there was a restaurant. It just so happened that I didn't have dinner either. I'm the host today, hahaha!"

Shopkeeper Zhang took Shopkeeper Chen directly to the restaurant he often went to.

The food was served quickly and the restaurant was very lively.

"Shopkeeper Chen's accent sounds like he's from Hanzhong?"

The two of them were eating and drinking, and they were both old shopkeepers for many years, so they were chatting happily.

Shopkeeper Zhang now thinks that he can know more about Shopkeeper Chen.

"Yes, I am from Hanzhong."

Shopkeeper Chen said proudly upon hearing this.

Before coming to Yecheng, Shopkeeper Chen thought that the entire Wei Dynasty must be very prosperous.

But after actually arriving in Yecheng, Shopkeeper Chen realized that the prosperity of Yecheng was still a bit disappointing if compared with that of Hanzhong.

Therefore, shopkeeper Chen, who is from Hanzhong, immediately calmed down a lot when he had just arrived.

Shopkeeper Zhang saw that Shopkeeper Chen really came from Hanzhong, so he couldn't help but continue to ask:

"I heard that Hanzhong City was very prosperous under the rule of the Hanzhong Marquis. My small shop cannot do without people. I have never had the opportunity to go to Hanzhong City to take a look."

"Can Shopkeeper Chen tell me about the prosperity of Hanzhong City today?"

Shopkeeper Chen started talking nonstop when he heard this.

After shopkeeper Zhang heard this, he became more determined to visit Hanzhong City.

Then the two began to talk about family and children, which is a topic that middle-aged men can never avoid, regardless of ancient or modern times.

While chatting, shopkeeper Zhang, who had drunk a little too much, said to shopkeeper Chen:

"Now in Ye City, the two highnesses are making more and more moves for the position of crown prince of Wei Dynasty."

Most of the buyers of antique calligraphy and paintings are literati and nobles, so shopkeeper Zhang can occasionally hear some news from their mouths.

Two days ago, an official came to his store and bought some antiques to send to Cao Pi's house, hoping to be appreciated by Cao Pi.

Before shopkeeper Chen came to Yecheng, he received instructions from Bai Feng.

If any news about the court was heard in Yecheng, it would be collected and sent back to Hanzhong.

Although Shopkeeper Chen was still a little drunk at this time, he still cheered up and listened carefully to Shopkeeper Zhang's every word.
