Chapter 256 Opening (2) - Wanyan Pavilion

All things are inferior except reading. For poor people, reading is undoubtedly the only way out. However, there are very few people who can really afford to read. Those with slightly better conditions can at most give their children an elementary education and teach them to read. If they want to continue, the cost will be extremely high. Pens, ink, paper, inkstone and books, which one doesn't cost money?

Pens, ink, paper and inkstone can still be afforded if one saves money, but books are different. They can easily cost several taels of silver, or even more than ten or twenty taels of silver per book. How many ordinary people can afford this?
The emergence of Wei's Bookstore undoubtedly gave hope to many ordinary people and children from poor families. That is why everyone was so excited and wanted to rush into the bookstore to choose the books they needed.

"Please everyone be quiet for a moment!"

The applause lasted for a long time. Cheng Yusheng raised his hand again to suppress it. After making sure that there were not many noises, he continued, "I believe everyone has seen that today, not only Wei's Bookstore is open, but also Wanyan Pavilion. Now, I would like to invite Sun Changzhong, the shopkeeper of Wanyan Pavilion, to show everyone what they are going to sell."

With the momentum they had already created, Cheng Yusheng naturally led to Wanyan Pavilion.

Sun Changzhong, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded with a smile and took two people onto the stage. Behind them were dozens of men and women wearing veiled masks.

"My surname is Sun, my given name is Changzhong, and I am the shopkeeper of Wanyan Pavilion. Thank you for your support, fellow villagers!"

Walking to the center of the stage, Sun Changzhong clasped his fists with a smile on his face, and then continued, "I'm sure everyone must be curious about what we sell in our store. You may not believe it when I tell you that we sell health and beauty. No matter how much I say, you may not believe it. Next, please witness the birth of health and beauty for yourself."

As he spoke, Sun Changzhong slightly turned sideways, allowing the dozen men and women lined up in a row behind him to appear in everyone's sight. Before anyone could ask questions, after receiving Sun Changzhong's eye hint, the dozen men and women raised their hands at the same time and took off the veils covering their faces.

"Oh my god, what the hell is going on? I'm scared to death."

"You guys, forget about being ugly, but please don't come out and scare people, okay?"

"Looking closely, they all seem to have good figures, but the red and white pimples on their faces are too scary, like toads."

"They don't look very old, so what's so strange about having some pimples on their faces?"

"Are they not sick?"

"drink···"

As soon as the dozen or so people revealed their true faces, they were immediately despised and mocked by all the onlookers. Someone guessed whether they were sick or not. Many people were so scared that they couldn't help but take a step back. What if they really had some disease and were infected? Compared to watching the fun, their lives were more important to them.

"Don't worry, they don't have any strange diseases. Our skin is very delicate. If we are not careful about what we eat and drink, don't clean properly, or don't get enough rest at night, we will get more or less small pimples on our faces and bodies. Among them, boys and girls in adolescence are most likely to get pimples. If you squeeze them with your hands, it won't hurt, let alone whether it hurts. It is very likely to leave acne marks that will be difficult to remove for a lifetime."

Having said that, Sun Changzhong calmly took in the reactions of the people below the stage, and with a wave of his hand, two waiters in brand new clothes came onto the stage carrying trays.

Sun Changzhong picked up one of the walnut-sized bottles with a white background and green glaze and introduced it: "This is the acne cream sold in our store. Generally, small new pimples will disappear within a quarter of an hour after application. If the pimples are large and red, swollen and painful, they will also have a significant effect after application. Apply it for three to five days in a row, and not only will the pimples disappear, but the skin will also become smoother and more delicate."

Sun Changzhong spoke with great confidence, not only because he was promoting his own product, but more importantly, he had tried it and the effect was indeed amazing, more than a hundred times better than those acne creams on the market. As a genuine businessman, he knew better than anyone how much of a sensation their acne cream would cause.

"Is it really that amazing?"

"No, Shopkeeper Sun, your bottle is too small, isn't it?"

"That's right, other people's cosmetic bottles are bigger than yours, how much can they hold?" "I just want to know if your acne cream is as good as you say."

"It's not a magic pill, how could it be possible..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people who had been quiet for a short while started chattering again. Most of them were complaining that the bottle was too small, and only a few were concerned about the efficacy of the acne cream. Shen Xiangwan and Yue Ruyan, who saw this scene not far away, smiled at each other. So far, they were very satisfied with Sun Changzhong's operation.

"Now, let's verify it in public."

Ignoring the noise from the audience, Sun Changzhong opened the bottle in his hand, turned around and applied the acne cream on the faces of dozens of men and women one by one. Perhaps what he said before was too magical, or perhaps they simply wanted to watch the fun, the crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone stared at the stage without blinking, waiting for the results to be revealed.

The waiting time is always long and boring. Soon, impatience appeared on many people's faces, and few people stared at the men and women on the stage. Their attention shifted to the bookstore. After all, that was what was most closely related to them.

"It's the quarter hour. Let's witness the miracle together."

On the stage, Sun Changzhong clapped his hands, and several waiters brought clean water to a dozen men and women who were trying the acne cream. The attention of the onlookers was focused on them again, especially those who really cared about the effectiveness of the acne cream.

"No way? This is too amazing."

"The acne on their faces has disappeared a lot, and they don't seem to be as red and swollen as before."

"Look at those girls who didn't have many pimples to begin with, now they have nothing on their faces."

"Oh my god, it's really a miracle drug, right?"

As more than a dozen people washed off the acne cream on their faces, the crowd burst into exclamations. Not long ago, the person who had acne all over his face and looked like a toad has now recovered and is no longer ugly. Who hasn't had acne? But no one has seen such an immediate acne cream.

"It's really much better. It feels so cool on my face."

"Wow...will I no longer be called ugly in the future?"

"Okay, it's really getting better."

"The shopkeeper didn't lie to us..."

It wasn't just the onlookers who were shocked.

On the stage, the men and women who were the test subjects all touched their faces, their eyes filled with tears. Although they tried the acne cream in public with shame and anger, they were mostly for money, but when the acne on their faces disappeared, they were still excited. If possible, who would want to hear others call them ugly? Especially since they were just teenagers.
