came out and got into Shunzi's carriage and returned home first, Xu Lan went to Wang's house with plum blossoms in her arms and said that she wanted to arrange flowers for Wang's family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wang's beauty bottle has not been arranged for a long time, seeing that this peach is still full of flower bones, presumably in a few days, the flowers will be very beautiful and let Li Po take it. Xu Lan let her insert more into the study.

went out again and returned to the store with Chen's mother.

In the morning, it was Steward Zhao who was looking at the store, and when he saw them coming back, he hurriedly greeted them.

Xu Lan told him what happened, saying that it was not negotiated, and it was a pity that Manager Zhao was a pity.

Xu Lan said about the matter of the Thousand Lion Temple, and asked Steward Zhao to take Shunzi tomorrow, if it can't be negotiated, don't force it.

Steward Zhao should go down, and after dinner in the afternoon, he called Shangshunzi to go outside to do errands.

Xu Lan was fine for a while, but she remembered the word, and she didn't know if there was such a thing as glass, so she asked Sister Chen, and Sister Chen said that she had never seen such a big one, but she had seen some old scholars wearing glasses.

Xu Lan thought about it after hearing it, and knew that she should ask Lin Rusong. The son-in-law of Cheng Ge's hometown, the son-in-law of the H County Ling family, is not very familiar with him, so he is not easy to speak, so he will put this matter aside first.

For a while, I remembered that I didn't know if Steward Zhao and his wife had told them there. It would be best if you could stay.

Xu Lan looked at the furnishings in the store without incident, the shape of the counter is a typical U-shape, the counter is placed on both sides, the counter is placed with various colors of gouache rouge, combs, and women's silk flowers, trinkets, all kinds of purses, handkerchiefs, there is a bamboo pole behind the counter, and the pole is hung with various colors of waist spikes and various colors of wind. In short, it is some daily necessities for women. Nothing is very fancy and fanciful. So things are not expensive, and the profits are not high, and they are basically well-off or ordinary people. The poor seldom come, and they don't use these things at all. The trinkets, tea bags, and handkerchiefs of the ladies of the family are basically sewn by special embroiderers.

The best thing to do is gouache rouge, probably because these are not easy to make.

From time to time, customers come in the store, including ordinary women and people dressed as small servants.

The women all have to look around, pick and choose, but the little maid usually asks what is available, and then picks and chooses, which should be for the young lady or maid in the family.

At this time, a woman came in, combing her hair in a shiny bun and a silver hairpin, looking very capable.

When I came in, I looked at the rouge, and asked Sister Chen carefully, all kinds of colors, and prices were asked very carefully, only asking if it could be cheaper. Sister Chen asked her how much she wanted, and she pointed to the medium-priced ones, which required a box of all colors. There were seven or eight colors, and Sister Chen also dropped slightly, but the woman directly asked for a lower price. Sister Chen couldn't answer for a while, so she signaled to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan asked her if she wanted so much for her own use or as a gift?

The woman said that she was combing the hair of the people in the building, but Xu Lan didn't understand it for a while, and she was a little confused. Sister Chen whispered in her ear: "I combed the hair of the sister in the hook bar." Xu Lan immediately understood, she was combing the hair of the girl in the Qinglou.

The woman didn't care when she saw Sister Chen and Xu Lan's whispering.

Xu Lan asked her if she wanted to take the goods often, because the price was very low, even old customers generally couldn't be at this price, but if they came often in the future, they should give a wholesale price, and the small profits would be more goods.

Naturally, the woman was willing.

Xu Lan also took a few purses and wrapped them for her, and the woman happily said that she would leave next time.

Xu Lan asked Sister Chen, where is the Qinglou in Huaiyang County?

When Sister Chen heard this, she snorted and told him that serious people don't want to inquire about this.

Xu Lan knew that she had misunderstood, so she said that she was just asking to see if she could ship more goods. Although he is young, he still understands the rules very well.

Sister Chen didn't look like he was lying, so she told her that it was on Bishui Street in the west of the city, and the largest was Baijiao Courtyard.

Xu Lan wanted to ask more carefully, but Sister Chen didn't know.

Xu Lan asked her to pay attention, and asked them if there was a place to comb her hair, how many people were there in the city who combed their hair? What kind of girl is usually combed for hair. Do you usually buy all the rouge of girls from them? The more detailed and comprehensive the question, the better.

Sister Chen saw that she was asking about business matters before she was relieved, so she wrote it down.

The sun was setting in the west, and Brother Xuan took Li An to the store, saying that he was going to see his sister after school early today. Xu Lan hurriedly welcomed him into the store, saw through a dark blue jacket, his nose was slightly red from cold, and Xu Lan hurriedly poured him a cup of hot water. hugged him again and asked him if he was cold, Brother Xuan was a little embarrassed, but he still liked Xu Lan holding him. He didn't break free, he just said that he was not cold, and he said that he had been looking for a while to find it, and that the teacher had something at home today, so he left the school early. Curious about what the store was selling, he walked around the store, and there was nothing he was interested in.

When Xu Lan saw it, she said that she would take him to eat something delicious, took his hand, and said goodbye to Sister Chen and walked out of the store.

It turned out that there was a stall near here that sold roasted red heat, and Xu Lan also smelled the fragrance, but she had never eaten it, so she could taste it today, so she bought four. Carefully peeled one, wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it to Xu Xuan. Xu Xuan let her eat first, yes, she would always forget that he was her brother, so she took a bite unceremoniously, and then gave it to him, and the two of them happily returned to the store with a pack of Hongxia and gave Hongxia to Sister Chen and Li An. The two of them chatted while eating red heat.

Xu Lan asked him where he had studied recently and what homework the teacher had assigned. It's not hard to do your homework.

Xu Xuan replied while eating, it was not difficult, it was not difficult.

After eating, Xu Lan asked him to go home and do his homework early and stop wandering the streets.

Xu Xuan took Li An home.

After dinner, Xu Lan talked to Steward Zhao about the furnishings in the store and her plans.

Change the store furnishings to a mountain-shaped shape, and set up a grooved counter at the entrance of the store, and put some handkerchiefs, silk flowers, purses, etc., for customers to pick and choose directly. Behind the counter, there are bamboo crossbars, two rows, silk tapes, and other things that customers can choose directly. The current pattern of people standing behind the counter has been changed, and it is directly against the wall. This makes it less crowded, and moves the cashier cabinet to the door on the left or right, so that it is easier to settle the payment and prevent someone from taking something and running out.

The more Steward Zhao listened, the more reasonable it became, this decoration before was because everyone was placed like this, but according to Xu Lan, he could put a lot of things like this. In addition, before the customer came in, the clerk stayed behind the counter, and the things on the bamboo were also taken out to see what they were. Now the goods are presented in front of the customer, and the choice is also larger.

Steward Xu praised again and again, saying that it was very good, but he also said that the handkerchiefs, silk flowers, and purses in the grooved counter would be easy to get dirty if they were picky, and it would not be good if they were dirty.

Xu Lan thought that this was indeed a problem, but after all, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, let's try it for a few days, and then we will find a way to change it.

Steward Xu nodded, and talked to her about the purse and the box, saying that the purse could be made tomorrow, and the sample of the box could also come out.

Xu Lan thought about it and wanted to send shoes to the abbot the day after tomorrow, so she said that they would go to Qinghua Temple together the day after tomorrow.

Leaving nothing to talk about, Xu Lan went home and asked the Wang family to say goodbye and rested.

After breakfast on the second day, Xu Lan and Steward Zhao arrived at the store together, and Steward Zhao went to the Thousand Lion Temple with Shunzi. Xu Lan looked at the store for a day, and in the afternoon, Steward Zhao returned, and Dao Qianshi Temple was willing to enter two hundred to try. Xu Lan and Sister Chen are very happy, so they have another income.

Steward Zhao and Shunzi drove the car together to collect the purse and settle the salary. In the afternoon, the box was made and delivered. Xu Lan looked at it and was still quite satisfied, although the wood was ordinary, but the style was generous, and she could get a gift.

In the afternoon, Sister Chen also went to get the shoes back, which was quite thick, and put a layer of bread under the skin, afraid that it would be too slippery in winter, and did a series of anti-slip treatments. Xu Lan was very satisfied, although this could not be worn outdoors in the snow, it was enough to wear it indoors.

In the evening, two more dishes were cooked, and everyone happily ate a meal and drank some wine before dispersing.

On the third day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Xu Lan got up, the cold winter morning was particularly cold, Xu Lan drank some hot water, and then had some breakfast in the kitchen with Steward Zhao and set off early, to Qinghua Temple, the sky was already bright, Xu Lan went to the abbot of the retreat first, because I don't know what time they set to set off.

The door of the side hall has not yet opened, Xu Lan knocked on the door, and the novice who guarded the door opened the door for her, Xu Lan asked the abbot if he had gotten up, and the novice said that he had already gotten up and welcomed Xu Lan in and brought him to Senior Brother Bingde.

Bingde was collecting some books, and when he saw Xu Lan, he greeted him, and Shami bowed to the Buddha and left.

"Senior Brother Bingde, when are you going to go?" Xu Lan asked.
