Chapter 245: White Peony

When they arrived at the shop, Xing Liu's party thought they had gone early.

Who thought that they looked into the pharmacy, and saw that Manager Shao, who was dressed in a long robe, was already standing behind the counter and talking to a shopkeeper who was staring at him.

The two of them were very excited, if it weren't for Shao Nianshi's dry mouth, go to the big teapot on the side to get some water, and forget about their little brothers who are still standing outside the shop.

"Ah, you're here?"

"Why are you standing outside when you're here?"

"Come on in. ”

"Let me introduce you to the shopkeeper of Jecheng Chuhetang, you recognize people, from now on you will follow the work of this big shopkeeper, but you must be diligent!"

As soon as Shao Nian said this, Xing Liu and a few people took advantage of the situation to enter the shop.

Because he got up early enough, there was a young man in front of the huge pharmacy yawning and boiling water.

A few people asked about the taste of the herbs, and they didn't know why they were a little nervous.

They tried their best to smooth out the folds of their clothes, and one by one they looked at Manager Shao's whereabouts.

"Don't be afraid, I've already told the shopkeeper about the follow-up. ”

"After a while, the eldest young master came over, and by the way, he brought the master master who was the best at making medicinal food from the first family. ”

"Xing Liu...... After a while, you pick an honest and clumsiest child, who is not good at communicating with others but is down-to-earth and willing to work, just follow the master and learn to make the latest products of Chuhetang. ”

"Don't worry, what we're doing isn't concocting medicinal materials, and you can't do that yet. ”

"What we learn is the craft of making pastries, whether it is now or in the future, as long as we learn it, we will not run out of food. ”

After speaking, Shao Nianshi beckoned to Xing Liu, let him stand in front of the big shopkeeper of Chuhetang, and asked superfluously: "How is it, this kid looks clever, it's better than the elementary school apprentices who still have some use in the pharmacy to go out to run business." ”

The big shopkeeper only listened to Shao Nianshi's words, and then set his eyes on Xing Liu's body.

I just saw that although this kid was a little darker, he had long hands and feet, clear eyes, and a shrewd and dexterous appearance at a glance.

The big shopkeeper already likes clever children, and when he thought of Shao Nian's plans for this group of children, he liked the leader Xing Liu a little more, nodded at him, and said a few words of encouragement: "Since it was recommended by Manager Shao, then do it well." ”

"As long as you work hard in the Chuhe Hall, you will not lose your benefits. ”

This can be regarded as accepting Xing Liu's group.

Because of this sentence, the group of young people standing opposite Shao Nianshi breathed a sigh of relief.

A few people had smiles on their faces, and then they wanted to ask what they needed to do, so they planned to get to work directly.

"Wait for the eldest young master to come over first......"

Before the big shopkeeper could finish his words, a hearty smile came from the gate of the first hall.

"I just heard someone mention me? Don't worry, I'm not coming?"

In response, the people outside the door took off their robes and entered the pharmacy with four or five people.

Everyone looked out in response, and they saw the square face of the eldest young master of the first family.

Shao Nianshi and the big shopkeeper hurriedly came out from behind the counter and saluted the eldest young master of the first family one after another.

Everyone knows that the junior young master is very particular about the rules.

is more like a pedant than the first master.

But today, the eldest young master of the first family is probably in a very good mood.

He waved his hand at the two of them, preventing them from paying attention to the false courtesy.

"Shao Nianshi, come, I brought it to you, you teach him how to do it, and by the way, let's discuss the effect of your so-called celebrity. ”

Hearing this, Shao Nianshi smiled.

He said why today's eldest young master is so easy to speak.

It turned out that I came here for that advertising painting.

Because on the day he came back, he took Le Qiye into the first family, and after negotiating the future cooperation with the first master and the eldest young master of the first family, he put the evaluation of Ejiao on the agenda.

When Shao Nian told the owner about his plan, the first master didn't react, but the eldest young master of the first family raised his hands and feet in approval.

Why?

It's the so-called pictorial star.

Whose prototype is the pictorial of the first tentative peach maw drawn?

It is Danjiao, which has just become popular all over Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, Xun Huisheng.

In these years, the pear orchard line is full of anti-strings.

And this Xun Huisheng's fame rose because of his gorgeous appearance and tactful and melodious voice.

In addition, Xun Huisheng is a man, and the oil paint of Peking Opera clothing is heavy.

But just by virtue of the evenly framed, cold white hands that emerge from the costumes, people can guess what a good look they look under the makeup painted in oil paint.

And it was because of this whiteness and his most brilliant "Yutang Chun" that he got another nickname, White Peony.

Because of this extraordinary demeanor and appearance, people from the other three genres who became famous at the same time as him could only faintly match him.

One of the three small and one white in the pear orchard line is talking about him.

And the unrelenting words in the industry have lifted him to a new height.

I heard that the partner that the first family wants to find is Xun Huisheng.

The eldest young master of the first family was very excited.

Because as a qualified heir, this eldest young master's daily life is quite modest.

Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, absolutely not touching, pure heart and few desires are a clear stream in the business world.

But except for the family, no one knows that the eldest young master of the Chu family is actually a hardcore drama fan.

Because this master doesn't have many opportunities to go to the theater on weekdays, that is, whenever he listens to the last play, he is extremely focused and serious.

Moreover, just to listen to the best opera.

He also specially asked someone to go to the Great World Cinema in Shanghai to find a professional person to record vinyl for him.

There is a golden sunflower record player sent by the Germans at home, and no matter what time it is, there will be a record of the latest big horn that is booming.

Speaking of this Xun Huisheng, it is really fate.

Because of the troubles made by Le Qiye a while ago, the eldest young master of the Chu family deliberately went to Beiping under artillery fire in order to understand the situation.

Later, because of the multi-front battle of the small stream Kou in Hebei, the eldest young master of the first family rarely stayed in Beiping City for a while.

And diagonally opposite the Peace Hotel where he lives is the theater where the head of the Sanle class, the largest theater troupe in Beijing, hangs.

The eldest young master, who had inquired about Lejia's affairs now, was originally a little irritable because of his unwarranted stay.

Who would have thought that he would buy a first-class ticket and go into the theater to listen to a play by Xun Huisheng...... I almost didn't want to go home.

It is also thanks to the good education of the first master, and the young master also has high requirements for himself.

He endured reluctance, and after all, he did the craziest thing in his life when he left Beiping City.

He spent the money he had saved privately, chartered a play garden, and asked Xun Huisheng to sing a song "Yutang Chun" for himself, and returned to Jicheng with the miserable and miserable relatives who were endless, wiping tears all the way.

This time, he remembered Xun Huisheng's drama in his heart.

Now that he has found an opportunity to meet Mr. Xun again, how can this not make the eldest young master of the Chu family feel excited.

He was both apprehensive and ashamed of his eagerness to see Mr. Xun again, but the desire in his heart was too real, and this time he was more lively than usual.

The eldest young master of the first family, if he is left in modern times, he is just an ordinary male fan chasing stars.

But in that era, how many people with status and status would take these dramas in their eyes.

In those days, it was a word for praise.

Just this word can see the subordination between the corner and the audience.

If someone is holding you, then you are the horn.

If no one is praising you, then you are nothing.

The old traditional concept is where the unsuccessful hurdle in my heart lies.

No matter how much you like it, you can't show it outside.

If the eldest young master of the first family dares to leak a little bit of wind, within three days, the entire Jicheng is afraid that the eldest young master will be ridiculed to death.

How can you hold the trick on your head, it's just a thing.

Therefore, the eldest young master of the first family did not dare to express his love openly, so he could only show it in a subtle detour from other aspects.

For example, the person who drew prints and pictorials is the best painter in Shanghai.

For another example, Mr. Xun's troupe is given a high endorsement fee.

In addition, in the name of the first family, a special session belonging to Mr. Xun was held in Beiping City for ten days.

When to sing, how many times to sing, and which play to sing in this special show, it is all up to Mr. Xun to decide.

And the eldest young master of the first family is afraid that Mr. Xun will suffer a loss.

I don't know how to sell this peach blossom gum, so I signed a one-year contract with Mr. Xun first.

Whether it is good or bad, the cost of the printmaking pictorial and promotion of these 100 oceans is given first.

Probably just thinking about it carefully, Shao Nian also understood the psychology of the eldest young master at this time.

He didn't say anything about the side, he only told people, but wherever the glue of the first family was sold, there would be the best appearance of Mr. Xun on the packaging.

This alone made the eldest young master of the first family satisfied.

How are they going to push it, which counter in the department store should it be placed, and how many posters can be put up in the government department.

The signboard outside the door of the reddliest dance hall was discussed one by one.

Xing Liu's people also knew what their group of people was going to do in the future.

Go to the most crowded street corners and hand out flyers about new products.

In front of the special counter of peach blossom gum that has been opened, the cheapest and most nourishing new products of Chuhetang are promoted.

By the way, it is also necessary to run the foreign trade companies that have a good business, the comprador department where foreigners are stationed, and all the places where potential peach maw potential customers may appear.

And the reward for their hard work is that they can get a net profit of 10% for every box of peach blossom gum sold.

This reward is too tempting for them to go out to beg for a living.

Xing Liu subconsciously looked at where Shao Nian was, but when he saw Brother Shao nodding affirmatively at them, he knew that this was probably the deal that Brother Shao brought them to Jicheng and found for them to settle down.

"Don't worry, young master, we will do a good job!"

"Just for the eldest young master to come up with this idea, find this big horn, our peach blossom gum, we will not worry about selling. ”

It is the praise of this kid who doesn't understand anything that is the most precious.

Because these people who don't know Mr. Xun just judge the beauty of the advertising painting from the stickers on the outside and the packaging on the box.

Even such a kid who doesn't know anything thinks it's good, that's really good.

The eldest young master of the first family was very happy, he had never felt that doing business could be as smooth as it was now.

is also because of this rare pleasure.

The peach maw of the first family was pushed to the market at an extremely fast speed.

This glue started in the center of Jicheng and gradually spread to all parts of Shandong.

Probably something that rose from the provincial towns, in the slightly smaller cities, the sales were not particularly bad.

In addition, peach gum has taken a very peculiar route, and for the first time, medicine and food are perfectly combined in one place.

Plus the reputation of a century-old imperial physician family.

made Chuhetang's Dong'e peach gum suddenly have an unusual reputation.

Even Qingcheng, which has the most foreigners and the most extensive knowledge, and the foreigners in the concession area who think they are superior to others, after trying the soft and delicious gum cake with the floral fragrance of peach blossom maw, are also deeply impressed by this product produced in the mysterious herbology of the East.

There are even many English businessmen who have found the perfect fit between this kind of gum cake and black tea.

Peach maw, which is slightly bitter and not so sweet, can produce the most suitable collision between tea and flowers in the delivery of black tea.

This made some business-minded businessmen regard this peach gum as an extremely precious gift and brought it back to their country across the ocean.

By the time their cargo ship approached the mysterious continent of the East, mahogany had become one of the hottest cargo.

Without him, it can withstand long sea voyages without deterioration.

The kind of peach maw that has been pressed and dried is soaked in rich black tea, and it will become soft and jelly-like texture, so that people can eat it without much effort.

Why don't you bring more of such good things?

How can people on the other side of the ocean know their true price?

This is peach gum that can be sold at the price of ejiao.

Twenty times the profit is enough to make these businessmen very excited.

As a result, peach maw opened up the market in this way.

Shao Nian can also let go of his hands and feet in a down-to-earth manner and go to the primary department of Jeseong Middle School to take the entrance examination for junior high school.

Because I got the interview pass letter from our school.

Shao Nianshi can take the entrance exam with these students who are also promoted.
