Chapter 69: Manager Shen is Enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple

After looking at the collections for a day, Shen You looked for review videos for comparison before going home and placed an order for some cold-proof clothing and sleeping bags.

When I was dragging my luggage home, the express delivery just arrived.

Shen You rested for half a day, regained his energy, and started to open the express delivery.

This batch is going to be shown to Liu Zheng first. We have selected brands with good quality and high prices, as well as some with high cost performance, at several different price ranges, in order to sell them in the shop.

The batch that Li Heng wants is still in contact with the factory.

Shen You was lying on the rocking chair, playing music, and leisurely organizing the photos she had taken over the past two days.

Thanks to Master Jiang’s presence, I was able to see the collections and areas that were not open for exhibition.

Liu Zheng came the next day, which happened to be the first day of the lunar calendar. There were many people outside the temple, so he was delayed on the way.

Shen You took the thing out, and Liu Zhenggang was a little confused when he saw the down lining.

It feels very light in the hand and thin, and it doesn't feel like there is a lot of filling inside.

It is light to wear, but does it really provide such good warmth retention effect?

The other type of warm clothes and pants are thick, with a layer of fleece inside. The material is quite special and I have never seen it before.

The style is also strange. It goes directly on the head and doesn't break even if you pull it like that.

Shen You answered in his heart, it’s right that you haven’t seen it, they are all high-tech materials, polyester fibers.

The more expensive sets have a little bit of cashmere added.

She didn't prepare to use the convenient rubber hot water bottle. In ancient times, wealthy families had more sophisticated hot water bottles.

Ordinary people can’t get hot water whenever they want, and they have to save firewood, so it’s unrealistic for them to use this thing.

"Take a few sets back and try them out first. It will take some time before you need to wear them anyway," Shen You suggested.

"Okay." Liu Zheng agreed happily, and then, as if he had thought of something, he said seriously:
"Shopkeeper Shen, how many of these clothes can you take?"

Shen You: "Wait for me to make the contact, you don't have to worry about the quantity."

I don't care about the style, I just take the most common goods. There was quite a lot of backlog last year, and the goods produced by prison sewing machines are very cost-effective.

Liu Zheng nodded repeatedly.

Everything that comes out of this shop is good to use. According to Shopkeeper Shen, the cheapest set of warm clothing costs five taels, and the down lining is also five taels. They can still make a lot of money.

The better ones can be sold directly for 50 or 100 taels, which will bring greater profits.

In this way, money can be earned and many ordinary people can buy warm clothing.

During the cold winter of last year, the prices of clothes made of wool and cotton kept rising. The prices of clothes filled with linen and kudzu also increased sharply, and their warmth-retaining effect was still poor.

In the capital area, the people living under the emperor's feet are relatively well off, at least they can buy things.

In places where materials were not abundant and the economy was not prosperous, a patched, unclean cotton-padded jacket could be sold for 15 taels of silver, and a new one was even more expensive, so many people froze to death.

Now that Manager Shen says there are sufficient quantities of warm clothing, this is not a great thing. Your Highness will definitely be happy to know about this!
"And these." Shen You moved the cardboard box to the table. Inside were some skin care products she had carefully selected.

They are all big brands and can be used for people with allergic skin. She has tried them herself and will definitely not use some cheap products without any quality assurance to cheat people.

The small samples exchanged with points are used as trial products, and the two boxes of regular products and medium samples are for sale.

"This is the facial cleanser, this is the moisturizing lotion, and this is the vanishing cream to prevent your face from drying out in the winter and can also be used to clean your hands."

"Goose egg powder can set makeup."

Goose egg noodles are the treasure of this century-old store. Even Karl Lagerfeld praised their quality back then.

Shen You took out everything one by one and prepared paper and pen for Liu Zheng to take notes, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to remember or understand these things.

Shen You didn't buy shampoo. In ancient times, shampoo made from tea dregs and Chinese medicine was actually better. Modern technology and hard work can easily cause hair loss. She tried it and it worked, but it was too laborious to make it herself.

As for soap, the ancients in the late Shang Dynasty knew how to use oil and wood ash and alkaline water to make a saponification reaction. Later, it was used by wealthy families and it was natural, healthy and exquisite.

It's not the soap that we imagined could amaze the ancients. It's just the things left over from our ancestors' play.

In order to not destroy his own reputation, Shen You did a lot of preparation before picking out things suitable for selling in Da Qi.

"I've got it all in mind. Shopkeeper Shen, don't worry. I'll arrange for someone to do it when I get back. Miss Zhao and Madam from the Marquis' Mansion are big customers of the store. When they know there's something new, they'll definitely buy it as soon as possible."

After hearing Liu Zheng talk about how wealthy the Marquis' Mansion was, Shen You couldn't suppress the smile even with her best efforts.

This is definitely the richest woman on the Da Qi list. She is really powerful.

Shen You: "I have to go buy the things you ordered. It may take ten days or half a month to open the store next time. If you have anything, please let me know in the next two days."

Hearing this, Liu Zheng paused, "Can we still leave a message outside the door?"

"Not during this time."

She had to unlock the next map.

"Okay, I remember."

Liu Zheng carried a lot of bags out of the shop and went straight to the Prince's Mansion, presenting the warm clothes and sleeping bags to Li Heng.

"Shopkeeper Shen said that the goods delivered to us will be similar to this."

Zhong Jing looked at the thick warm clothes over and over again, a little bit unbelieving.
"Such a thick garment, is Shopkeeper Shen really only charging five taels?"

"Yes, ordinary people can afford it." Liu Zheng nodded heavily. "The ones here are expensive, and the materials are more comfortable. Yes, the 100 taels you have now."

After hearing this, Zhong Jing looked at the thermal clothes, then at the sleeping bag and down liner, and was so happy that he couldn't say a word.

After a while, he sighed with deep emotion: "Manager Shen deserves to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

Li Heng had a smile on his face and was overjoyed looking at these things.

It’s one thing to have seen it before on a tablet, but it’s something else entirely to see the exact same thing in person.

He had only seen how to use a sleeping bag on his tablet. Thinking of this, Li Heng's smile deepened.

However, I then heard Liu Zheng say that the shop would not be open for a period of time and its door would disappear as well.

Li Heng paused for a moment. Last time, Liu Zheng was able to leave a message at the door.

Miss Shen said she was going to stock up, but he always felt a little uneasy, as if something was missing.

He was worried that Miss Shen would leave Da Qi, and once this thought came to his mind, it could not be shaken off.

"What else did Miss Shen say?" Li Heng concealed the anxiety in his voice.

"When the things are ready, we'll know when we see the sign on the door." Liu Zheng replied.

Li Heng just responded.

He was actually asking if Miss Shen had any words to bring him, but it seemed that she didn't.

"It has been raining and cold these past two days! I'll bring a set back and let you try out the effects."

Zhong Jing said to Liu Zheng, holding the set he had just been looking at in his arms.

"Manager Shen said that it will be very hot now, so you'd better take it easy." Liu Zheng reminded.

Zhong Jing nodded, his eyes falling on the lightest and thinnest down liner. This thing should be okay to wear now.
