Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 21 New Product Launch (2)

With the customers' votes, Ban You and Li Yiyi discussed and temporarily selected three patterns of items, including two types of pet clothes and one type of pet accessories.

"Girl, I see these customers all like it, why do you only choose these three?"

Ban You poured Li Yiyi a cup of tea before slowly explaining, "We only have Aunt Wang to help with the embroidery. To ensure quality and quantity, we naturally have as few styles as possible. Also, although many customers liked the designs during the voting process, we can't guarantee how they will perform once they actually sell. To be on the safe side, we're only selling three types for now. If sales are good in the future, we can hire more embroiderers and offer a wider range of styles."

Li Yiyi nodded, and after listening to Ban You's words, he worked even harder.

At the same time, Ban You also planted the catnip rewarded by the system in the vegetable garden that had just been enclosed next to the water tank.

It was only mid-August, and the weather was still quite warm. Banyou estimated that the catnip would take more than half a month to grow.

Ban You looked at the fruits of his labor and couldn't help muttering to himself, "If this catnip grows well, it will attract a lot of stray cats, and then... a cat cafe..."

The more Ban You thought about it, the happier he became, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hey, girl, why are you smiling foolishly?" Li Yiyi looked at Ban You's silly face, her eyes full of confusion, and she couldn't help but patted Ban You's shoulder.

"Ahem!" Ban You was startled and quickly put away her smile. She wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth and said vaguely, "It's okay, it's okay, Sister Yiyi, um...um..."

Ban You was about to say something to get the point across when she saw Li Yiyi frowning and saying with a worried look on her face, "Sister, I have something to do today and I have to go back early. I'll have to trouble you with the rest."

Ban You was a little confused, but didn't ask any more questions. She nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Yiyi, if you have something to do, go back quickly. There's nothing else to do anyway."

After hearing this, Li Yiyi packed up his things and left in a hurry.

Ban You didn't think much about it. He shook his head to clear the complicated thoughts in his mind and began to prepare for today's business.

For two consecutive days, Ban You didn't see Li Yiyi.

At first, she didn't think much of it. Tomorrow was the day the pet supplies would go on sale. As usual, Li Yiyi would come over to discuss the details with her, but today, she waited until dusk and still no one showed up.

Ban You was a little worried, so he locked the doors and windows and planned to go check on Li Yi's family.

Arriving at the Li family's door, she found it closed. She knocked, and the person who opened it was Cuicui, a maid whom Li Yiyi had recently hired for Aunt Wang.

"Cui Cui, is Sister Yi Yi at home?"

"The master is not here. Why don't you come in and wait?" Cuicui said as she made way for Ban You to go in.

"I won't go in. Since she's not at home, I'll leave first. If she comes back, you can ask her to come find me."

"Hey, that's good."

After Ban You finished speaking, he was about to leave. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked towards the door, calling out to Cuicui who was about to close the door.

"Oh, by the way, has Sister Yiyi been out these past two days?"

Cuicui thought about what Ban You said, then nodded: "Well, the master has been going out early every day these past two days and coming back very late."

Ban You nodded, and replied absentmindedly, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Cuicui."

Ban You returned to the courtyard and lay lazily on the table, poking the black ball that was eating hard with one hand and tapping the table lightly with the other hand.

"Where is Sister Yiyi going? Heiqiu, do you think something happened to her?" Ban You thought and suddenly sat up.

"Hmm~" (This freeze-dried carrot is so delicious!)

"Ah~ a little rabbit that only knows how to eat!" Ban You looked at Heiqiu, her evil intentions growing. She took advantage of Heiqiu's inattention and snatched the dried carrots from his paw.

The black ball was chewing with great interest when it suddenly realized that the freeze-dried food in its claws was gone. It raised its head and looked at Banyou.

Banyou just looked at it as if nothing had happened, occasionally looking up at the sky.

"Squeak!" (The black ball is freeze-dried! It's freeze-dried!)
Banyou is whistling...

"Squeak!" (Did you take the freeze-dried black ball?!)
Ban You whistled and looked up at the sky...

After a while, Ban You found that the sound of the black ball was gone. He looked down and saw that the little guy was sitting on the table with tears in his eyes, and tears were falling "click, click".

This scared Ban You, and he quickly handed the freeze-dried food in his hand over, but Hei Qiu turned around and faced Ban You with his little butt.

"Oh, good black ball, good black ball, I was wrong, I was wrong." Ban You quickly lowered his head and coaxed softly, "I'll give you all the freeze-dried ones, okay~"

……

I don’t know how long it took to coax him, but Hei Qiu finally found a safe place to secretly chew the frozen food in his mouth, but he still ignored Ban You.

"It's all his own fault!" Ban You couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the black ball. After a little fun, Ban You started to research Li Yiyi's affairs again.

Before she could think of anything, she saw the door of the courtyard open from the outside.

"Sister, I heard Cui Cui say that you have something to talk to me about?"

"Sister Yiyi, where have you been these past two days? You haven't come here yet."

When Li Yiyi heard this, his face looked a little unnatural: "Ah, it's okay. Um, what do you want me to do?"

Ban You could feel that Li Yiyi didn't want her to know something. Although she was very curious, she didn't ask any further questions.

"Ah, we're going to be putting pet supplies on the shelves tomorrow, and I wanted to ask you how we should display them and what the pricing should be."

"Oh, look at me! I've been so busy these past two days that I almost missed something important."

Ban You chatted with Li Yiyi while observing her. Seeing that she looked normal, he felt relieved.

The next day, the new product was launched.

Ban You put a sign at the door early in the morning that read: Pet supplies are on sale today, 160 wen each, 20% off for two.

"Oh, this is much more exquisite than those on Spring Hill Street. It looks cute too. My Po will definitely like it."

"Who says it isn't? Look at the workmanship and embroidery. They're so beautiful. I want two!"

Seeing that so many people liked the new product, Ban You finally felt relieved.

"Everyone, take your time to choose. There's no rush."

"Boss Ban, do you still have this little outfit for the cat slave playing with butterflies?"

"If there's nothing left on the table, it means we've sold out today. Please come back tomorrow."

Those who bought the items happily paid for them, and those who didn’t buy the items told their friends that they would come earlier tomorrow.

Most of the people who come to You'an Hall to buy things are the common people in Yuncheng and the servants who serve their beloved pets in the homes of nobles, so the business is very prosperous.

At night, after a hard day's work, Ban You drooped his shoulders and prepared to calculate his income for the day.

"Your You'an Hall is so remote, it would be better to rent a house on the street."

"Who!" Ban You was startled by the sudden voice.

She picked up the scissors on the table, stood up and hid behind her.

The man walked slowly into the house from the darkness. Only after he entered the house did Ban You recognize his appearance.

It’s Zhou Heng.

When he saw Zhou Heng, Ban You let down his guard and looked at him angrily.

"Mr. Zhou came uninvited late at night. I wonder what brings you here?"

"My guards said that Tianhu's illness has worsened recently, so I came to take a look."

As soon as Zhou Heng finished speaking, he saw Xue Zhao running into the house with a piece of dried chicken in his mouth, followed by Laicai.

"Meow!" (Put down the cat's meat jerky! You're stealing meat, fox!)
"Squeak!" (This princess is just taking a piece of your dried meat, it's your honor!)

"Meow!" (Bad fox! Put it down!)
Ban You hurried forward to stop the two little guys, only to see Xue Zhao squatting in a dark corner, quickly finishing his dried meat. Then he licked his paws gracefully and walked out in small steps.

Lai Cai slapped Xue Zhao in the face when he saw this. Xue Zhao was so angry that he also slapped Lai Cai. The two foxes started to fight each other instantly.

　Black Ball Theatre:
