Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 113 Sweet Cake

On the other side, outside the palace.

Liu Zheng is now very popular in the capital. All his goods have been sold out. Rich businessmen and people working for wealthy families have come to him.

At this time of year in previous years, wealthy businessmen would stockpile charcoal, cotton jackets, and thick satin.

But now, those clothes that are expensive and not as comfortable to wear as thermal clothes and down jackets have been reduced to normal prices, not to mention being priced exorbitantly. It is good enough if we can clear the stock.

Some wealthy businessmen even directly bundle and sell it.

I don’t dare to bother with the cheapest warm clothes, but it’s different for good warm clothes and down jackets. If you pair them with a thin cotton-padded jacket, you can buy them first.

If Shen You were here, he would have to say that the tricks of matching goods were also learned in ancient times.

"Mr. Liu, you see, every time the goods arrive, there is a large amount. Can you give us more? We have a lot of shops."

"That's what we mean, too." Another person smiled flatteringly.

Everyone came here for the same purpose, and now they bumped into each other. They looked at each other, and each of them wanted to stop the other person and get the goods first.

"Don't worry, everyone. I was not kidding you when I said before that there is enough stock. New stock will arrive tomorrow." Liu Zheng practiced Tai Chi with them.

You cannot make random promises about how to divide the goods and who gets more and who gets less, as this may easily offend people.

The considerations here also require weighing the pros and cons.

He also didn't expect that Shopkeeper Shen's goods could be produced so quickly, from weaving, cutting cloth to sewing, tens of thousands of sets.

Such efficiency is terrifying!
"Also, there's something new this time, called footwear." Liu Zheng said with a smile.

The shopkeepers looked at each other and thought, what's so special about footwear? It's not difficult to make.

Ordinary people can sew it with some scraps.

Their shop has footwear made of the softest and most comfortable luxurious materials. Could this thing from the Western Regions be even better?

However, they showed nothing in front of Liu Zheng.

Thinking of the goods from the Western Regions, a few people were still looking forward to the clothes for the feet, and more were looking forward to the cold-resistant clothes that were about to arrive.

Few people buy footwear, so it's not selling well.

Warm clothes and down jackets are needed most now!
Liu Zheng saw through their thoughts and did not rush to explain. Instead, he waited for his boss to send the people out and then went to Qingshi Lane in the evening.

Receive the goods, and also take a look at the footwear that Manager Shen mentioned earlier.

When Liu Zheng arrived, Shen You had just finished the restoration work and was sitting in the rocking chair at the door eating taro lasagna.

The food in this store is delicious. All the food is made fresh on the same day and they use animal cream. They close the store when all the food is sold out. You need to buy 300 yuan worth of items to receive delivery.

So there were several boxes of different cakes and desserts on Shen You’s desk.

When Liu Zheng saw these beautifully shaped foods, he couldn't help but swallow them. They looked delicious.

"Would you like one?" Shen You took out a box of sea salt caramel cake and put a plastic spoon on the box.

Liu Zheng brought with him another 1,500 taels of gold this time.

Looking at the box containing gold ingots, Shen You reluctantly gave him a taro mochi.

When she bought this, there was only one box left in the store, and there were only six in a box.

Liu Zheng looked at the dessert in front of him with joy, took a bite, and nodded repeatedly with his eyes wide open.

How can there be such a soft and sweet pastry!
He had never eaten anything sweet with such a smooth texture, it was even better than the mooncakes he had eaten before!
“What kind of cake is this?”

Shen You replied: "We call it cake. If you eat too much, you might feel a little sick."

How happy would it be to eat something this delicious every day? How could one get tired of it?! Liu Zheng was puzzled.

"Then I'll give you two more Snow Meringues." Shen You gave him the Oreo and Matcha ones.

Keep the durian filling for yourself.

"The name of this pastry is nice!" Liu Zheng nodded in surprise, thinking that he must avoid Liu Yunyan when taking it home.

Otherwise, I probably won’t be able to snatch it from her.

"And there are cheese crackers." There are so many in one bag that they can be divided. Liu Zheng was eating these delicious cakes and felt that the place that Manager Shen described was really a great place.

He was really envious.

Goods were still being moved outside. Shen You closed the plastic box and showed the newly arrived thick socks to Liu Zheng.

In ancient times, footwear was a relatively private item. Liu Zheng was a little uncomfortable with just holding it and sitting outside to watch.

What's more, he was just eating pastries.

It always feels a bit wrong to put such an elegant thing together with the footwear.

But when he saw Shen You's frank expression, he suddenly felt it was reasonable.

After seeing Shen You take out the socks, whether it was elegant or not no longer mattered.

The footwear from the Western Regions is really useful!

Just like the previous thermal underwear, it can recover after stretching, and the woven pattern on it is something I have never seen before.

Most importantly, although I haven't worn them, they feel very comfortable and thick, and one pair even has soft fleece inside.

It will definitely fit snugly and won't get wrinkled.

"This thing is good!" Liu Zheng raised his voice unconsciously.

Shen You nodded, "I have prepared 200 pairs of each type. The ones without fleece are pure cotton. The ones with fleece are a little more expensive, costing one tael of silver. The 100 pairs here are cashmere, costing five taels of silver.

"30 wen is enough for the one without fleece. As for the prices of the knitted ones with different patterns, it's up to you."

In ancient times, socks were generally white, so she only prepared white, cream white and stain-resistant gray so that ordinary people could also buy them.

In Da Qi, many ordinary people are reluctant to wear socks.

Shen You decided on this price after asking Liu Zheng about the market situation. It will be a little more expensive than the footwear sold in the shop.

"Can you get more goods? Two hundred pairs are definitely not enough."

I guess there will be a crazy scramble for it, Liu Zheng thought.

"Sure, we'll have to wait a few days." Shen You explained, "Let's test these in Beijing first to see if they sell well."

If ordinary people don't buy it, she can just purchase better pure cashmere and sell it to the rich people in Da Qi.

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about the sales situation in two days."

"Row."

Liu Zheng asked expectantly as he was about to leave with the unfinished cake, two snow meringues, and a few pairs of sample socks.

"Shopkeeper Shen, can I buy some of this cake?"

He is making money now, so even if the cake is more expensive, he should be able to afford it.

"Come over tomorrow afternoon. I can take you there." Shen You waved her hand generously.

"However, all pastries other than cheese sticks must be eaten within two days. If they taste sour, they are bad."

"Otherwise, you should charge some money and take food from the shop every time, and several servings at a time."

Liu Zheng felt a little sorry.

Shen You: "It's okay, these foods are not expensive. You brought so much dividends, I won't be reluctant to even eat a little."

The cost of dining and reception for the studio is more than this.

It’s such a good deal to be able to use these foods to maintain partners!
After hearing what Shen You said, Liu Zheng felt relieved and went out with his things.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the shop's iconic wooden door, I bumped into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

We are very skilled in every aspect of cargo transportation. Normally, Your Highness does not need to come in person.

Liu Zheng knew that His Highness wanted to see Manager Shen, so he naturally didn't dare to say more.
