Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

However, after Tao Yao opened her own cosmetics shop, she recruited several of the most active aunts and sisters-in-law in Qingshui Town to work in her shop, and her business became more and more prosperous.

Taoyao was not in a hurry to officially open the store, but only operated it on a trial basis for a few days. There were long queues in front of the store every day.

If it were any other store, they would be eager to take advantage of this booming momentum to sell as much as possible, but Tao Yao, a modern person, always has more advanced thinking.

Tao Yao knew that if she wore off everyone's excitement within a few days, future business would be stagnant. She thought it would be better to try a hunger marketing campaign, keeping customers in the dark about her plans. By keeping them on the edge of their seats, she could compel them to come to her shop every day to take a look and buy something.

So Taoyao limited the sale of only fifty pieces of rouge and powder on the first day. The girls who could come were all fighting in the shop, and the girls who couldn't come also ordered their husbands to come and help grab the goods. The merchants in the shops in the neighborhood had never seen such a lively and prosperous scene in other shops, so they all came to take a look and went back with sore eyes and red noses.

The next day, those merchants who had copied her also started using hunger marketing. Tao Yao had long expected that they would copy her, so she posted a notice in front of her shop that day that all the goods in the store were sold in unlimited quantities and at a super discount of 30% off. If you buy one, you will also get a seasonal peach blossom sachet she made by hand.

There is no harm without comparison. Taoyao’s shop offered huge discounts and immediately attracted the attention of all the girls among the surrounding shops.

On this day, Tao Yao originally wanted to sacrifice some small profits to attract popularity, but he never expected that even with discounts, he still made a lot of money and did not suffer any losses at all.

The aunts and sisters in the store laughed as they counted the money. They couldn't count it all. Their hands were weak and they were out of breath. As they counted, they flattered Tao Yao: "Miss Tao Yao is really good at doing business. We have lived in Qingshui Town for so many years, and we have never seen anyone's business be so prosperous."

As the boss, Tao Yao was not idle either. He came over with a teapot and teacups, and personally made tea and served water to the aunts and sisters-in-law.

"It's useless to rely on myself alone. If it weren't for the aunts, uncles, and sisters who helped spread the news among the neighbors in advance and warmed up the momentum for me, our little shop wouldn't be so popular today."

Tao Yao smiled as she found some brown sugar and fresh milk, added some to each teacup, made brown sugar milk tea, and placed a cup in front of each aunt and sister-in-law.

"The store has been busy these past few days, and everyone's been working very hard. Besides giving everyone a raise, I don't know what else I can do to relieve their fatigue, so I'm thinking about some food and drinks. This is a new sweet drink I recently developed. Give it a try and see if it tastes good."

The business in the store is good. Taoyao is in high spirits and the smile on her face is as sweet and moist as honey.

All the aunts and sisters-in-law looked at Tao Yao and admired this little girl sincerely. They couldn't help but look at Tao Yao with starry eyes and praised her for her sweet appearance, kind heart, and efficient and diligent work.

Aunt Wang, who used to sell melons on the street, liked Taoyao more and more the more she looked at her. She couldn't help but start a conversation with her, saying, "Miss Taoyao, you are such a rare beauty. Everyone likes you. When I look at you, I can't help but think of my son Tieniu, who is just as smart as you. You two kids, maybe you can become friends and talk to each other someday..."

"Maybe what?!" Aunt Liu, who was sitting next to her, frowned and interrupted Aunt Wang, saying anxiously, "Sister Wang, you're not thinking of getting married, are you? Just your Wang Tieniu? What else does he know besides planting watermelons all day? He's not very good-looking and speaks stupidly, how can he compare to Miss Taoyao? I advise you not to try to lure her into a swan."

Aunt Wang was immediately embarrassed by Aunt Liu's words, but she was eager to protect her son, so she quickly defended him, saying, "Oh, Miss Taoyao, don't listen to Aunt Liu's nonsense. My Tie Niu isn't dumb, he's honest and simple-minded. Honesty is the most valuable quality in a man, and many girls want it but can't..."

Everyone couldn't help but giggle. Aunt Liu laughed so hard she collapsed on the floor. She slapped Aunt Wang on the shoulder and scolded, "How many girls have begged for marriage and still can't get one? Then why has your Tie Niu been single for thirty years and still not found a wife? Is it because your Tie Niu doesn't want to get married?"

Aunt Wang's face flushed red with shame. Tao Yao hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to mediate, saying softly, "I understand, Aunt Wang. If you have the chance in the future, please bring Brother Tie Niu to our shop to play. We can become friends then."

She wanted to brush it off, but seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two aunts, she forced a genuine smile and added, "You see, in business, more friends mean more opportunities. I, Taoyao, never refuse anyone; the more the better!"

Just at this moment, there were three knocks at the door. Someone was knocking.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Cheng Tianshui standing at the door holding a bamboo basket.

"I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be Doctor Cheng."

Tao Yao went forward to greet Cheng Tianshui with a triumphant look. Cheng Tianshui glanced at her coldly and said, "Oh, niece-in-law, your business is really booming. You don't even have a proper name for your shop yet, but your business is already so prosperous."

Tao Yao smiled and took the bamboo basket from his hand, smiled knowingly, and while leading him to visit the shop, she grabbed a handful of freshly ground peach blossom spices and put them into the basket.

"I'm able to make it in Qingshui Town thanks to Doctor Cheng, isn't it? If Doctor Cheng hadn't been willing to take me in, give me food to eat, and shelter me from the elements, I would have died on the streets long ago, let alone run a business here!"

Tao Yao smiled as she stuffed the full bamboo basket back into Cheng Tianshui's arms, blinking her eyes, as if asking Cheng Tianshui whether he was satisfied or not.

Cheng Tianshui frowned. He had heard all the talk of marriage proposals from the aunts and uncles in Taoyao's shop. Poor him, he was still thinking about the perfect match between his nephew and Taoyao every day. He didn't expect that Taoyao would change her mind so quickly.

Seeing Cheng Tianshui's unhappy expression, Tao Yao was a little confused and asked, "Doctor Cheng, what else do you need? Please take whatever we have in the store."
