Once noon had passed, the people strolling on Yongest Street all noticed the following scene: after a deafening burst of firecrackers, a newly opened shop named “Spikenard Square” had about a dozen women lining up at its front door.
Everyone knew that “Spikenard Square” was a new shop. And because an extraordinarily beautiful lady was displayed on a poster at the door a few days ago, it was all the talk and drew much speculation about the purpose of the magic face mask and facial cleanser. These two products were refreshingly brand-new.
Seeing the queue, someone approached and asked, “What are you all waiting for here?”
“To buy the face mask and the facial cleanser,” Aqiu replied.
“You have to line up to buy things?”
“Of course, I heard that the owner of this shop only sells thirty boxes a day. If we don’t line up, how can we buy any?” replied Panyashe.
Another person asked, “What’s the face mask and facial cleanser for?”
Aqiu explained to them, “The facial cleanser is for washing the face, which can remove all the rouge from your face while also moisturizing and hydrating. The face mask is applied to the skin, and with just fifteen minutes, you can achieve a whitening effect. With long-term use, you can become just as beautiful as the lady on the poster.”
Aqiu, from Daping Village, had already dressed up. But it was her first time speaking in front of so many strangers and she was naturally timid.
But her timidness made her seem all the more bashful.
This made Aqiu seem exactly like a lady from the boudoir.
The curious spectators then became skeptical, “How do you know? Have you used them before?”
“Yes, I have used them,” Aqiu, almost having finished two bottles, added, “The owner of this shop is from our town of Qingshui. I heard she discovered this special formula by accident. She was formerly known as the ugliest woman in our town, but after using these two products, her skin became increasingly smooth and fair.”
“Is it really that miraculous?” asked the curious crowd.
Aqiu then responded as she was instructed by Nan Feng, “You don’t have to buy if you don’t believe me. All I know is that I’m definitely buying it.”
“…” After Aqiu made this statement, the curiosity of the onlookers was further provoked. They wanted to leave but couldn’t bring themselves to. Not long after, the front of Lancome Square was crowded with people.
By a quarter past noon, the doors of Spikenard Square finally opened.
At that moment, the crowd outside saw a slim and attractive girl emerging from the store. She had a bare face, but her skin was shiny and fair. She greeted people with a charming smile. “Thank you all for visiting our shop. We currently have two products – a facial cleanser and a magic face mask. Only thirty boxes will be sold today. First come, first serve.”
Aqiu immediately shouted, “I want one, I want one!”
Panyashe joined in, “I want one too. we’re beneficiaries of Lancome Square. Before, my face was both oily and dark. Now, after using the products from Lancome Square, it has become much fairer and tender!”
“…”
Nan Feng, with a smile, said, “Good, good. But let’s do it in order of the queue, one by one, shall we?”
Seeing the skincare products she had on display sold out in an instant, the lingering spectators were getting restless and discussing whether they should give it a try.
Nan Feng noticed the crowd outside whispering to each other and couldn’t help but laugh. She addressed them, “We have free trial experiences available in the shop. Well, if you all don’t trust our products at Spikenard Square, you can personally come in and try them out for yourselves. After all, you only know if something is good once you’ve tried it.”
On hearing about the free trials, the hesitant ladies immediately swarmed into Nan Feng’s store. Nan Feng took out chairs she had prepared in advance for them to sit and line up. She treated them with sunflower seeds and peanuts and gave each of them a personal trial.
