Chapter 97: Girl's Feelings! (Part 1)
Jiang Chengfeng once estimated that the cost of each bottle of perfume after mass production would be about two taels of silver. However, due to the shortage of raw materials, Jiang Chengfeng had discussed with Uncle Wen and planned to expand the large garden in the south city, and plant different flowers according to different seasons to make perfumes with different scents.
For now, due to the limited production capacity of the perfume workshop, even if the raw materials can be supplied, it can only produce about 480 bottles per month at most. Compared with the current terrifying market demand, this output is really not enough.
For this reason, Jiang Chengfeng decided to implement hunger marketing. This not only allows the perfume to maintain its nobility, but also greatly stimulates consumers' appetite, just like the limited edition of Apple mobile phones in later generations.
Shen Ruoyan fully agreed with Jiang Chengfeng's limited supply. She was a strong woman in the business world, so she understood this principle.
Afterwards, the Shen Family Perfume Store put up a notice - limited supply of 450 bottles per month! As for the remaining 20 or 30 bottles, Jiang Chengfeng planned to use them to pick up girls.
Because of proper hype, the perfume in Huayang City is now extremely popular and in short supply. It is said that each bottle has been sold for three hundred taels on the black market, and there is still no demand for it.
Because of the newly opened women's products store of the Shen family, Miss Shen's workload has greatly increased, and even Mrs. Shen has to join in to help. It is said that because of the new store, Miss Shen has not returned home for three consecutive days and slept directly in the new store at night.
Sometimes Jiang Chengfeng would sigh that this strong woman was so busy that she didn't even care about her life. However, despite being very busy, Miss Shen didn't complain at all, and even the female clerks in the Shen family store were all very motivated.
Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen are busy every day, so I guess they have neglected Miss Shen II!
Jiang Chengfeng sighed, took the cloak handed over by the little maid, and said, "This sister has worked hard, you should go and have a rest!"
The little maid knew that the lady and the eldest daughter both valued Jiang Dazhu, so she didn't say anything more and turned away.
The closer he got to Shen Qingdie, the more guilty Jiang Chengfeng felt. It had been such a short while since they last met, but the girl's originally plump and shiny face had become thinner, and she looked very lonely.
Hearing the subtle footsteps behind him, Shen Qingdie said slowly without turning her head: "Didn't I tell you? Don't disturb me , or I'll let the general bite you!"
"Where is the general?"
Shen Qingdie's delicate body trembled slightly and her expression was dull. After a few seconds, she slowly turned her head and her eyes suddenly became moist. Isn't the man in front of her the big villain that made her love and hate him?
"Jiang Dazhu——" Shen Qingdie didn't want to cry, so she bit her lips lightly, forcing herself to become indifferent, and snorted coldly: "Why are you here?"
"I saw that the second young lady was back, so I was happy! I came to say hello!"
Shen Qingdie snorted coldly and turned away, "I am a child, how dare I trouble an adult like you to say hello?"
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly. This little girl was still holding a grudge against what happened that day. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Whether you have grown up or not is not just about the surface, but the essence! People like you who can't get along with yourself have definitely not grown up!"
Shen Qingdie snorted coldly, but did not refute.
Although Jiang Chengfeng was blaming her, she could also see the concern in his words. She felt sweet, bitter, and a little sad. I guess he cared so much because he felt sorry for a little kid like me!
Jiang Chengfeng didn't know what Shen Qingdie was thinking at the moment. He moved closer and said with a smile, "It's cold at night, Miss, please take care of yourself!"
As he said that, Jiang Chengfeng handed the cloak to Shen Qingdie, but the latter snorted coldly and turned away.
Jiang Chengfeng was out of power, what was wrong with this girl? However, Jiang Chengfeng would not bother with such a petty little girl, and helped her put on the cap himself.
Shen Qingdie did not dodge. She felt a warm cloak on her body. Her nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes. She turned her face away so that Jiang Chengfeng would not see her.
"You big bad guy, why do you care about me? Do you treat me like a child?"
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and thought to himself, how old is this girl? Why does she act like a resentful woman in the boudoir?
"It's getting late, Miss Second, you should go back and rest!"
Shen Qingdie wiped away the tears from her eyes inaudibly, turned around and said, "Jiang Dazhu, we haven't had a happy chat for a long time! Can you still talk to me like before?"
Jiang Chengfeng stared at Shen Qingdie in doubt, then smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! Let's talk!"
So, Jiang Chengfeng sat next to Shen Qingdie and talked about Suyang's gardens, the Grand Canal, various snacks and so on.
Shen Qingdie remained silent until Jiang Chengfeng finished speaking. Then she looked up and said calmly, "Is this all you wanted to say?"
Jiang Chengfeng was stunned. What happened to this girl? Didn't she always like to listen to the customs and practices of various places before? Why did she become so deep now? Jiang Chengfeng, who always boasted of his unparalleled eloquence, found himself speechless at this moment.
Shen Qingdie lowered her head and said quietly, "Jiang Dazhu, do you have a girl you like?"
"Yes!" Jiang Chengfeng said firmly.
Although she had expected this, Shen Qingdie still felt a pain in her heart when she heard him talk about it. She bit her lips tightly and asked after a long pause, "Is she very beautiful?"
Jiang Chengfeng scratched his head, but still answered honestly: "It is indeed very beautiful !"
"Jiang Dazhu, tell me, am I beautiful?" Shen Qingdie suddenly turned her head and stared into Jiang Chengfeng's eyes. Her pretty face was emitting a faint glow under the hazy moonlight.
Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but stare at her in amazement. Shen Qingdie was already a very beautiful girl. If she grew up a few more years, she might be even prettier than her sister. In addition, her tearful eyes and pitiful appearance at this moment made him want to hold her in his arms and comfort her with a gentle voice.
"You are very beautiful too!" Jiang Chengfeng thought about it and decided to answer truthfully.
"If that's the case, then why don't you like me?" Shen Qingdie was overjoyed, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out. She hugged Jiang Chengfeng regardless, half of her face was tightly pressed against Jiang Chengfeng's chest, and her voice trembled slightly. "Although I am still young now, I can grow up! Besides, I heard from my mother that she was already married when she was my age!"
Perhaps the little girl had been suppressed for too long, and she burst into tears at this moment, soaking Jiang Chengfeng's clothes in a moment.
Feeling the softness of the little girl's chest rubbing against his body, Jiang Chengfeng immediately became furious. He silently recited the Heart Sutra in his heart, reminding himself that she was still a child and he should not be impulsive!
