Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

"welcome!"

The clear greetings of the girls echoed in Count Gilman's ears over and over again.

In fact, as a nobleman, he has always been treated with respect, but today, at the door of the Norman Family's shop, he couldn't help but feel a completely different feeling from the past.

Count Gilman himself couldn't tell what this feeling was like, but...this kind of greeting was different from the fear of the unruly people and serfs towards him. On the contrary, it was more sincere and heartfelt welcome.

It was as if... the clerks in this store were extremely looking forward to his arrival, which made Count Gilman feel a sense of joy in his heart!

Count Gilman's feeling was right. The moment he walked in, the clerks of the Norman Family were indeed extremely excited about the arrival of this nobleman. This was the first fat sheep that the Norman Family welcomed... eh , no, this is the first customer that Norman Family has welcomed since it opened!

The shopping guides who have undergone long-term training have long kept the work philosophy of "customers are gods" in their hearts. No matter whether they are a small noble or a big noble, they will use 200% enthusiasm to make customers feel Feel the warmth of home.

Because only in this way can the shopping guides squeeze more money out of these nobles and let them buy more goods, thereby allowing themselves to obtain more commissions.

Amid the welcome from the shopping guides, Earl Gilman was lucky enough to become the first customer of Norman Family.

Although this shopping experience almost cost him and his wife all the money they carried, the former Basel aristocrat was proud of it even in an interview many years later!

Because he was the first customer of Norman Family since its opening, he witnessed the rise of a luxury goods giant and became a loyal fan of Norman Family in the days to come!

As soon as they entered the door, the space in front of them suddenly opened up, and a spacious hall appeared in front of Count Gilman and his wife.

Different from the stone floors in his castle and residence, the floors laid on the floors of the Norman family are all solid wood floors that have been polished and polished by craftsmen, with many unique textures of trees on them.

The light blue carpet extends from the entrance to the stairwell at the end of the hall. Not far away, on the pale golden wall illuminated by the flickering candlelight, the name and logo of the Norman Family are painted in a new style. , looks particularly eye-catching.

In the lobby on the first floor, there are neat and symmetrical transparent counters and tall display racks. On those display racks made of solid wood, various deep red corals reveal particularly bright colors under the candlelight. luster.

A rather simple but dignified shopping guide walked over with a smile. She bowed slightly and said kindly: "Hello, sir, I am your shopping guide, number 001."

"I can answer all your questions about the products on sale, and with your permission, recommend products that meet your requirements and desired price points." Shopping guide No. 001 smiled.

Although as a nobleman, Gilman usually delegates the purchasing tasks to his servants below, but he also knows very well that such meticulous service is definitely not something that ordinary shops can provide!

"How long has your store been open?" Gilman asked curiously.

"My lord, this is the first day our store has opened, and you are also the first customer besides Her Majesty the Queen." the shopping guide revealed inadvertently.

Her Majesty the Queen!

With just one simple sentence, the quality of this store was instantly revealed.

If it was just out of curiosity, now Count Gilman has really become serious.

After all... Her Majesty the Queen's name is not something that can be used by just any shop!

"Your Majesty the Queen?" Mrs. Gilman said in surprise.

"Her Majesty the Queen is the only supreme VIP member of our store and has the qualification to reserve goods in advance." The shopping guide carefully replied: "You can freely visit all the goods in the store, and the villain will serve you wholeheartedly."

Hearing this, Count Gilman couldn't help but look around in the hall on the first floor.

The lobby on the first floor of Norman Family looks extremely spacious. In addition to the display counters where exhibits are placed, there are also seats for guests to rest and various fruits that can be taken at will.

The smooth walls are mostly covered with exquisite marble slabs, which look particularly luxurious.

The display cabinets in the hall are all made of completely transparent glass, which is almost eye-opening!

In Count Gilman's view, not to mention the goods sold in the store, the furnishings in this store alone probably cost hundreds or even thousands of gold coins!

Gilman's performance was naturally noticed by Carlio, but... Although the decoration of the Norman Family seemed extremely expensive, in fact, for Idar, these transparent glasses were nothing more than a riverside industrial area. Common goods produced in large quantities.

With the help of the magic circle and the glass-making method provided by Bruno, the cost of producing these transparent glasses can be said to be minimal, just handfuls of sand and the cheap labor of serfs and civilians...

However, in the eyes of others, the value of these transparent glasses has been doubled several times unconsciously, causing customers to praise them endlessly.

Mrs. Gilman approached the display counter located on the left side of the hall. Pieces of bracelet necklaces made of gem-quality coral were placed on soft satin, which looked particularly noble under the light of candlelight.

“The counters and display shelves on the first floor display coral products from overseas. Pirates are rampant off the coast of Basel, so they are all treasures that were obtained by chance after going through untold hardships and spending a lot of manpower and material resources. Norman Family divides gem-quality red coral into four grades, from the top Aka red to the relatively common deep water red. All kinds of coral ornaments and accessories are available. At the same time, Norman Family can also customize according to customer needs. Customized specifically.”

Shopping guide 001 stood aside and introduced softly.

Looking at the extremely beautiful coral bracelets displayed on the counter, Mrs. Gilman's heart... couldn't help but be moved.

Seeing Mrs. Gilman's eager eyes, the well-trained shopping guide cooperated and took out a dazzling coral bracelet from the counter, padded it with delicate satin in her hand, and carefully handed it to Mrs. Gilman.

"It's so beautiful..." Mrs. Gilman couldn't help but admire.

"Your vision is unparalleled. This bracelet is made of the top Aka red coral. It has a pleasant color and a shiny texture. It can only be obtained in the deep sea far away from the mainland. For this bracelet, The Norman family has mobilized hundreds of fishermen who are good at water to go out to sea on the boat, which can be said to be the only top-quality coral in the world!" Shopping guide 001 quickly introduced.

"How much?"

If it were placed in another store, Mrs. Gilman might not even ask about the price.

However, every corner of this shop revealed an indescribable luxury, which made Mrs. Gilman ask.

"Thirty-six gold coins." Shopping guide 001 said with a smile.

"Three...thirty-six...gold coins?"

Mrs. Gilman's eyes couldn't help but freeze.

As a noble, she could naturally afford thirty-six gold coins, but... if it were placed in the past, the price of a coral bracelet would probably only be five or six gold coins...

Although the quality of this bracelet does seem to be far superior to other corals, even so... Mrs. Gilman's original expectation would never exceed twenty gold coins!

"Reporting to Madam, the higher the grade of this coral, the higher the price. If you choose a lower grade sardine bracelet, you can buy it for more than 20 gold coins; if you want a third grade I can also sell you a red bracelet for ten gold coins. But the bracelet you are interested in is the top-notch Akha red. This is a color that is rare but not sought after!"

A little bit later...

Third grade red...

Hearing this, before the shopping guide could say anything more, Mrs. Gilman made up her mind and said, "This is it!"

It's just a dozen more gold coins. As a noble lady, how could she care about such a few gold coins?

If you choose a cheap bracelet and others notice it, where should you put your face?

You are right to buy expensive ones!

Count Gilman, who was wandering around, couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. Sure enough... the quality of the store and the selling price of the goods are directly proportional!

"What else is upstairs?" Count Gilman pointed to the stairs at the end of the hall and asked suddenly.

I can’t stay on the first floor anymore!

Count Gilman is very aware of his wife's character. After the first string, there will be a second string. After buying a bracelet, there will be a necklace and a tiara. If he continues to stay in the hall, he will have to buy three or four more!

"The second floor is a counter selling all kinds of wines, from low-alcohol wines to high-alcohol spirits, which are enough to meet most of your needs."

"As for what is sold on the third floor, it is the most sought-after rose essential oil and various perfumes favored by Her Majesty the Queen. Whether it is the quality of raw materials or the effects of use, the products sold by Norman Family are far beyond ordinary spices. perfume."

Wine and perfume!

After hearing the shopping guide's words, Earl Gilman suddenly became interested.

One of his lifelong hobbies was drinking. In other words, for the nobles of this era, drinking had almost become the most common activity in daily life.

As for the perfume…

The gift he brought to Duke Hausen happened to be perfume, but... when he heard "Her Majesty the Queen favors", Count Gilman suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"This is the rose essential oil that has been widely sought after by noble ladies in the past few days. In the days before the opening, there were many noble ladies who wanted to order rose essential oil and perfumes made from rose essential oil in advance."

The layout of the third floor of the Norman Family House is different from the spacious lobby on the first floor. The Idar Chamber of Commerce used unsold corals and wines as well as paintings and screens to artificially separate many small private rooms.

But even the so-called small private rooms have a large area. This is mainly to facilitate the noble ladies to try out various new cosmetics launched by Norman Family here in the future.

Looking at the small glass bottle that was carefully taken out by the shopping guide from the closed cupboard and filled with crystal clear glass and the light golden luster of rose essential oil in it, Count Gilman suddenly felt that all the perfumes he had purchased before were low. Got it!

From the external packaging to the internal color, rose essential oil can be said to be the perfect perfume brought from the south!

"How much does this bottle of rose essential oil cost?"

With the previous example of the coral bracelet, Count Gilman asked quickly.

"A bottle of rose essential oil... twenty-eight gold coins!"

In an extremely calm voice, the shopping guide said a number that even she felt was outrageous.

You know, the reason why the coral bracelet is very expensive is that it can be worn for many years, but rose essential oil is a complete consumable!

Looking at the pitiful capacity of the rose essential oil in the small bottle, Count Gilman couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.

"Actually... buying rose essential oil is by no means a transaction that can be measured by price. Its output is extremely low, and countless nobles are vying to buy it. Her Majesty the Queen alone bought twelve bottles in one go. !”

So... under the enthusiastic introduction of the shopping guide, Count Gilman, who was excited, actually bought six bottles in one go!

And after hearing the sincere words of the shopping guide, he even opened his pockets and donated two gold coins to the children who were responsible for picking roses!

So when he walked out of the Norman family home with the purchased goods, he only had a few copper coins left in his pocket...

but,

What surprised Count Gilman was that when he walked out of the gate of the Norman Family, he actually saw carriages crowded with carriages at the door of the Norman Family.

Moreover... he also saw several nobles with whom he had a good relationship in the crowd.

"Count Kurtz!" Count Gilman greeted enthusiastically.

Hearing Count Gilman's call, Count Kurtz strode over, but when he was about to say hello to Count Gilman...Kurz's expression suddenly changed.

"You... bought rose essential oil?"

Count Kurtz asked incredulously.

You know, in order to allow customers entering the store to enjoy a better shopping experience, the Norman Family, which has the support of Her Majesty the Queen, can straighten its back and limit the number of nobles entering the store.

This has led to those nobles rushing to buy rose essential oil. UU Reading www.uukａshu． net had no choice but to form a long queue outside the store, but...the order of this team was not arranged according to the arrival time, but according to the rank of the knight...

This is a bit embarrassing...

I finally thought it was my turn, but suddenly a noble with a higher title came, so that the earl and viscount could only queue up honestly, and the baron might not even be qualified to queue up...

Therefore, when he saw Count Gilman coming out of the store carrying large and small bags of things, he was naturally extremely envious.

"What you bought is..."

"Rose essential oil!" Count Gilman said with some embarrassment.

Count Gilman, who had just entered Basel, was unaware of the uproar caused by rose essential oil in the Basel Palace, so he did not deliberately lower his voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the nobles around him almost all shouted. He cast his gaze on Count Gilman...

This person...is showing off, right?
