Chapter 61: The Aristocratic Family Watches the Laugh.
Of the five dumplings, Xiao Yingchun ate one and Fu Chenan ate four.
After finishing the dumplings, Fu Chenan hurried away: he was going to renovate the shop.
However, Xiao Yingchun, in the porcelain box order she had placed earlier, asked the merchant if they could print three words on each box: Tao Tao Ji.
Things that could be solved with technology only required a fee, and the merchant readily agreed.
In the afternoon, Wang Li from Utour Travel Agency sent a message, asking Xiao Yingchun to prepare the documents so that she could come and help with the formalities.
Xiao Yingchun gasped at the long list of documents!
Passport, ID card, household registration booklet, proof of assets, bank statements...
After thinking about it, Xiao Yingchun made a direct request: "Can you help me do this? After all the formalities are completed, I'll give you an extra 2,000 yuan as a reward?"
Wang Li agreed without hesitation.
This was originally the travel agency's business. She could earn an extra 2,000 yuan by accompanying the agent on two or three trips. Why not?
An appointment was made the next morning for Xiao Yingchun to apply for a passport. Wang Li was exceptionally patient, prompting her to prepare everything and meticulously going over every detail.
Xiao Yingchun agreed, feeling reassured.
It was the first time she'd experienced how easy it was to get things done.
The next morning, Xiao Yingchun had barely finished breakfast when Wang Li arrived.
With Wang Li, a seasoned guide, Xiao Yingchun had little time to think, filling out forms and snapping photos.
When the bank statement came in, both the bank staff and Wang Li were stunned: With only a little over a million yuan in deposits, her cash flow reached tens of millions. It was astonishing!
How could such a young woman be so wealthy these days?!
The bank manager appeared, insinuatingly asking Xiao Yingchun if she could make a large fixed-term deposit with them.
Xiao Yingchun smiled and said nothing, "If I need it, I'll contact you."
Fortunately, she had kept most of her money in another bank account, which held just over a million yuan.
Wouldn't they have been even more shocked by the tens of millions in her deposit?
The bank manager handed over his business card and asked Xiao Yingchun to call him or add him on WeChat if he needed anything.
Wang Li was also shocked: this little girl who looked not much different from herself had a bank turnover of over 10 million and a deposit of over 1 million!
No wonder she was willing to spend 2,000 yuan to ask her to accompany her to handle the procedures.
After running around all morning, Wang Li had a plan in mind: "Just go there again in a few days, and it will be almost done."
Back to the store, it was almost noon.
There was no note at the counter, and Fu Chenan had never been there, so Xiao Yingchun was more prepared and took out a bag of frozen dumplings from the freezer and cooked half of it.
What was Fu Chenan busy with?
He was busy decorating the shop, and he also had to deal with all kinds of people who wanted to watch the fun.
Fu Chenan, who was born a butcher, wanted to open a cosmetics shop and even went to ask the emperor for money.
The news spread all over the capital!
So Fu Chenan spent half a day gesturing with the carpenter about how to run the shop, and he dealt with five groups of onlookers.
The aristocratic families were all watching with amusement: "Fu Chen'an doesn't even have wives or concubines, how could he know what women's cosmetics and perfumes actually look like? He would
n't even be able to tell them apart if they were right in front of him! "
Some of the onlookers barely concealed their disdain.
Fu Chen'an made no attempt to defend himself, oblivious to the contempt and ridicule. He simply chuckled, "When the shop opens in a few days, please come and support us."
Of course they had to show their support; if they didn't, wouldn't they be missing out on the first-hand experience?
Ruyi and Qiuyue, who had initially taken things lightly, couldn't help but feel aggrieved and even angry as they took in the teasing and mockery.
General Fu's products were so good, they were sure to sell well!
General Fu worked so hard for this little shop, and yet these people came to see him and make a fool of himself...
One day, I'll give you all a slap in the face!
" The two maids grew increasingly furious, finally gritting their teeth and vowing to themselves: "I'll make this shop a success, so that these short-sighted people can see if General Fu can do it."
Three days later, all the items Xiao Yingchun had ordered were delivered.
Xiao Yingchun had them delivered to the rented warehouse, and she drove over to collect them and brought them back to the space warehouse.

Fu Chen'an was stunned for a moment when he saw the four large boxes.
Xiao Yingchun smiled and introduced them one by one.
"This one's for even skin tone and covering spots. Apply it in the morning and wash it off at night." - Foundation.
"This one's lip balm, which can also be used as rouge." - Lipstick. "This
one's an eyebrow pencil, for drawing eyebrows."
"This one's for skin care. After washing your face at night, apply this moisturizer on your face to nourish your skin..."
"Oh, this one's for washing your face, but you can also use it on your body. It gets it really clean." - Facial soap.
Aside from the foundation, which is a bit pricey, the rest of the items are reasonably priced.
Beyond the core product, packaging is also crucial.
The porcelain boxes, large and small, in shades of pastel purple, pink, vibrant purple, light green, dark green... macaron colors, with the rounded "Tao Tao Ji" characters, were truly eye-opening for Fu Chen'an.
"This box must be expensive, right?"
Xiao Yingchun smiled. "Not bad."
Because they were custom-made, they were a bit more expensive, starting at five yuan a box at wholesale, with larger boxes costing one yuan more.
She calculated the price using gold ingots, offering Fu Chenan ten taels of gold for one thousand porcelain boxes.
Ten taels of gold ingots were worth 800,000 yuan, and each box cost 800 yuan...
In Fu Chenan's eyes, ten taels of gold was equivalent to a hundred taels of fine silver. Ten such exquisite porcelain boxes cost ten, and each cost a hundred wen...
not expensive at all!
The eyebrow pencils were purchased at five yuan, costing five thousand yuan for a thousand, and she paid one
ten-tael gold ingot for the price. The lipsticks were purchased at twenty-five yuan, costing twenty-five thousand yuan for a thousand, and she paid
three ten-tael gold ingots for the price. The foundation cream was purchased at twenty yuan, costing twenty thousand yuan for a thousand
, and she paid three ten-tael gold ingots for the price. The large 500ml jar of moisturizer was purchased at thirty yuan, costing three thousand yuan for a hundred jars, and could be repacked into a thousand 50ml porcelain boxes, and she paid one ten-tael gold ingot for the price...
A win-win deal was thus happily struck.
To help Fu Chenan better understand how to repack lipstick, moisturizer, and foundation cream in porcelain boxes, Xiao Yingchun even demonstrated it on the spot.
"This lip balm can be melted. Pour it in after it's melted. Be careful with the heat..."
"Moisturizer and foundation cream cannot be heated. You have to be more careful not to get them everywhere..."
Xiao Yingchun pushed a row of porcelain boxes in front of Fu Chenan: "Look, can I take these back?"
Fu Chenan's eyes were wide open: Why not?
It's amazing!
Those lip balms, foundation creams, and moisturizers with strange packaging were packed to 70% full and then covered with lids. They instantly looked high-end and in line with the characteristics of that era. It
really did not let people see any flaws, but made people think it was a good thing at first glance.
Fu Chenan was convinced again!
