Chapter 362: Thousands of Rare Products
Shopkeeper Meng: "Young Master, what are you saying? As long as you're willing to give it to me, I will definitely accept it without hesitation."
"Very well, since Manager Meng is so generous, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Please take a look, Manager Meng."
Li Shuchen took out the items from the black velvet bag one by one and placed them in front of Manager Meng.
Manager Meng looked up and could only guess the purpose of the rose gold ring. He really couldn't understand the rest of the white porcelain jar with the rose pattern. Was it for selling bottles?
But this bottle is short and thin, it can't hold much, can it?
"Young master, I am foolish and ignorant; I humbly request your guidance."
Li Shuchen pushed a pair of rose gold rings in front of Manager Meng.
"What does Manager Meng think this object resemble?"
Shopkeeper Meng: "To me, they look like tree branches and leaves. Am I right?"
"Indeed, the love tree is a symbol of longing, where two birds perch on its branches, and twin flowers bloom on its blossoms. May all couples in the world be like birds that fly wing to wing, loving each other dearly on the branches, their affection lasting forever. This is precisely the concept behind my design of the love ring."
Li Shuchen spouted nonsense.
Shopkeeper Meng had no doubts after hearing this; instead, he nodded repeatedly: "Good, it has a very auspicious meaning. May I ask how much this item costs?"
Li Shuchen slowly took another sip of hot tea.
"One hundred taels of silver per pair. I only have ten pairs, I'll sell them all to Manager Meng."
Shopkeeper Meng was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Thank you for your kindness. I'll take them all. And what about this rose-shaped porcelain vase?"
Li Shuchen smiled and stood up, saying, "Please, Manager Meng, lie down on the couch."
Manager Meng, unaware of the situation, trusted the wealthy young man and obediently lay down on the bed.
Li Shuchen picked up the porcelain jar and approached Manager Meng.
"Manager Meng, please close your eyes and do not move. Excuse me."
Upon hearing this, Manager Meng lay down trembling, obediently closing his eyes in complete darkness, his heart filled with unease.
Only when she felt a cool sensation on her face, followed by the scent of roses, did she slowly relax and allow the wealthy young man to apply the ointment.
After applying the ointment, Li Shuchen said, "I will wake Manager Meng in a quarter of an hour."
After finishing his sentence, he returned to the table to drink hot tea. After about fifteen minutes, he got up and called for Manager Meng.
"Manager Meng, Manager Meng, wake up!"
Shopkeeper Meng opened his eyes in confusion, stared at the wealthy young man for a moment, then remembered and immediately got up.
"Young master, is that all?"
Li Shuchen: "You need to wash your face with water."
Upon hearing this, Manager Meng said to the servant downstairs, "Go fetch some water."
"Yes, shopkeeper."
Before long, the servant brought up warm water.
Manager Meng hurried over, washed his face, dried it with a handkerchief, and looked in the mirror as usual.
This photo stunned me.
When did his face become so smooth and radiant? It even feels soft and supple to the touch. Is this really him?
Li Shuchen was pleased with Manager Meng's reaction and asked with a smile, "Manager Meng, are you satisfied with this rose face mask?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied. I'll take all of these rose face masks."
After admiring himself, Manager Meng sat back down at the table and carefully counted the items. He nodded happily after counting.
"The wealthy young master is very generous; he's prepared quite a lot of good goods this time."
Li Shuchen: "We've been partners for a long time, it's only right."
Shopkeeper Meng: "How much would you, young master, charge for a rose-scented face mask?"
Li Shuchen: "Since we're old partners, I'll give Manager Meng a discount. The original price is one hundred taels of silver per jar, but Manager Meng, you can give me a total of seven thousand taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, Manager Meng slapped his thigh with delight: "I never imagined such a fine product would be so cheap! It's ten times cheaper than perfume, and it's far more effective than perfume!"
"I admire your magnanimity, young master. Please wait a moment while I fetch the money."
Li Shuchen sat upright, her eyes fixed straight ahead, elegantly sipping her tea. Her high price also had its own ulterior motives; Changning's serious illness would inevitably affect Aiyoutang to some extent.
If the number of donors decreases, the children at Ai You Tang will find it difficult to sustain their lives.
She wants Changning to earn more money.
"Young master, here are eight thousand taels of silver notes. Please accept them."
Manager Meng handed the money to Li Shuchen.
Li Shuchen reached out and took the silver note, then added with concern, "Manager Meng, these fine items I brought today can easily be sold for ten times their original price. I cannot bear to see them sold cheaply, so please, Manager Meng, do not let my hard work go to waste."
Manager Meng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "Yes, yes, I will certainly follow the teachings of the wealthy young master."
Li Shuchen nodded, got up and was about to leave when he heard Manager Meng's voice again.
"Young master, please wait a moment."
Li Shuchen turned around and saw Manager Meng's conflicted expression.
"Manager Meng, please speak freely."
Shopkeeper Meng gave an awkward smile: "Then I will say it: Does the wealthy young master possess any top-quality ornaments, preferably the only one of its kind, regardless of price?"
Li Shuchen was taken aback upon hearing this and asked in return, "What does Manager Meng need such a rare item for?"
Shopkeeper Meng: "To be honest, young master, a while ago a gentleman came seeking the most precious and beautiful thing in the world, but after wandering around for almost a month..."
Our shop couldn't find this item either. That young master paid a deposit, so I had no choice but to ask you for help. Please forgive me, young master.
Li Shuchen pondered for a moment, then decided to take out the platinum, diamond, and conch pearl crown and began to speak.
"I do have it, but I need 100,000 taels of gold. I wonder if Manager Meng can accept it?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Meng nodded hurriedly: "We can accept it. Just bring it, young master. I'm willing to pay an extra ten thousand taels of silver as a token of my gratitude for your help."
Li Shuchen raised his hand to refuse: "No need. I will be back in about an hour. Manager Meng, just prepare the money."
"Yes, young master, please take care."
Manager Meng waved goodbye.
After leaving Baogui Pavilion, Li Shuchen went straight to Xiangchi Tower, the largest restaurant in the capital.
They sold some rare spices and made a fortune.
After leaving Xiangchi Tower, we went to the largest teahouse in the capital.
They sold some top-quality tea and made a fortune.
Back in the alley, open the system shop, find the Platinum Diamond Conch Pearl Crown, and click to buy.
A dazzling crown appeared in Li Shuchen's hands, and he admired it greatly by the moonlight.
She had never seen such a rare item before; its beauty was beyond words.
I was very careful not to use too much force, afraid of breaking it. After admiring it for a few moments, I quickly bought a brocade box and put the crown inside.
He carefully tucked it into his bosom and hurried towards the Precious Pavilion.
As soon as he appeared, Manager Meng came to greet him; it seemed he had been waiting at the door the whole time.
"Young master, please come upstairs."
Li Shuchen strode upstairs, gesturing to Manager Meng to close the doors and windows.
Manager Meng understood immediately, knowing that this item must be rare. He quickly closed the windows and even sent two servants to guard the door.
Li Shuchen quietly took out the brocade box from his bosom and placed it in the center of the table.
"Shopkeeper Meng, please inspect the goods."
Upon hearing this, Manager Meng rubbed his hands together and eagerly opened the brocade box.
In an instant, light shone brightly.
The light shone on Manager Meng's dazed face. He snapped out of his reverie, immediately closed the brocade box, and a smile lingered on his lips.
"Young Master, you are truly a remarkable person. Here are the silver notes; please take a look."
Li Shuchen took the wooden box, carefully counted the money, made sure it was correct, put it away, and said goodbye.
