XXII. Letters
Xu Lan continued to look at the goods slowly, and bought some yarns and silk spikes, but never saw such a good embroidery again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I didn't give up until my feet were sore, and I went back with a truckload of goods with Steward Zhao.
It was noon when they returned to the store, Xu Lan and Zhao steward finished unloading the goods, sat in the shop to rest, and a postman came to take a letter and looked at the store sign at the door, and shouted: "Is Xu Song of Xu Ji Liangpin here?" Xu Lan heard that it was her own name, and she was strange, and asked whose letter it was? The postman said that there was a letter from Xu Song.
Xu Lan was a little confused, someone still sent her a letter this year, it couldn't be a mistake, Xu Lan looked at it and asked if she knew who sent it, the postman shook her head and only said that it was from Xijing.
Xu Lan thanked him and sent the postman away.
When I opened it, I realized that it was sent by Lin Rusong.
After reading his letter, Xu Lan couldn't cry or laugh again, because she didn't know what the point of his letter was.
At first, he said that he was confined to his home and studied every day, and it was very boring to learn skills. He asked if the bird he had given him was still there, if his brothers and sisters were okay, and if he had been busy these days. Finally, he must remember to reply.
and attached the address of his home at the back: Marquis Mansion of Donglin, Hengshui Street, Xijingcheng.
Xu Lan shook her head with a wry smile and stuffed the letter into her sleeve pocket.
Today, the traffic in the store is significantly higher.
Everyone got busy after lunch, Xu Lan was busy replenishing the goods to the counter, and opened a special counter to place the newly entered handkerchief.
Business is better today than it was yesterday. It may be because the store seems to have a wide variety of locations.
In the afternoon, Xu Lan still went home early, because today was her birthday, and she had already said that she would go home early for dinner.
Steward Zhao took her home, the family was already preparing for the birthday banquet, Xu Lan first went to the kitchen to see Mama Li, and saw that Mama Li was busy there, and Po Chen was also helping in the kitchen. Seeing Xu Lan coming back, he said: "It turns out that the birthday star is back, it's okay soon, you hurry up and go in first and sit, it's all the smell of oil smoke here." ”
Xu Lan walked around the kitchen and ate some before returning to the inner courtyard. Secretly ate it and said, "Well, Mama Li and Po Chen are so delicious." Straight to Mama Li and Po Chen said happily.
Mama Zhao was setting up dishes and chopsticks in the hall, Xu Lan greeted her and went to Wang's basement house, Xu Tang, Xuan Ge'er, and Xu Yiliang were all in Wang's house, and when they saw Xu Lan walk in, everyone said that the birthday star was back.
Xu Lan smiled and said to Xu Tang: "Didn't you embroider a new handkerchief and give it to my sister, why don't you give it to me quickly." ”
After saying that, she scratched her nose, Xu Tang was so shy that she took it out of her chest and handed it to Xu Lan, and then said that her sister's birthday was auspicious. Xu Lan opened it and looked at it, nodded and said, "The embroidery is good, my sister likes it very much!" “
Xu Tang was happy to hear it.
Xu Lan then walked up to Brother Xuan and deliberately turned around, looked at him proudly and said, "How is it?" Very handsome, right? ”
Brother Xuan snorted deliberately, and then said, "It's average." ”
Then he turned his head and said to Wang: "Mom, the new dress on my birthday is not as good as my brother!"
Hearing that Wang and Xu Yiliang laughed, Wang said to Brother Xuan: "Make the same new clothes for you during the New Year!" “
Brother Xuan also took out a new hair cover from his sleeve pocket and gave it to Xu Lan, and the hair cover on Xu Lan's head was still Brother Xuan'er's. Xu Lan took the hair cover, gave a big hug to Brother Xuan, and said, "Thank you, brother, I like it very much." ”
Brother Xuan said bluntly: "Why are you so unserious, is it just a hair set?" But he was left to his arms.
Xu Lan turned around and hugged Xu Tang again.
Then he sighed: "I am so happy, how fortunate I am Xu Lan, to be born in the Xu family, to be loved by my parents, brothers and sisters." ”
It is said that Wang and Xu Yi's conscience are full of warmth.
For a while, Mama Zhao came over and said that the meal had been set up and was ready to be seated. Wang led everyone to the hall for dinner. Zhao Steward Zhao Mama and the servants in the courtyard also opened a table in the outer courtyard, Xu Lan took the wine glass to drink in the courtyard for a while, and then drank outside the courtyard for a while, and had a happy birthday ceremony.
The next day, Xu Lan had a headache, although the Wang family did not allow her to drink too much, she still drank a little dizzy.
Xu Lan still got up on time, and regained her spirit after washing up. After breakfast with everyone, I went back to the store.
Early in the morning, Chen's mother was already there to sort out the containers, and there were more people coming in the past two days, and the containers were a little messy. The replenishment is replenished. Xu Lan also hurried over to help, and Steward Zhao went out to run errands by himself.
After the container was sorted out, Xu Lan went to the attic and took out the pair of words to measure the size, and then wrote it down.
When I went downstairs, there were already guests coming to the door.
For a while, I was busy until lunch.
In the afternoon, there was a small peak of human traffic, and Chen's mother was so busy that she didn't have time to drink saliva at the end. Later, I found out that some people came to the name of Xu Ji Liangpin, and they would ask directly in the shop, but the peach wood comb of Tsinghua Temple was provided by your store? It turned out to be the flow of visitors attracted by the giveaways of Tsinghua Temple.
Chen's mother said proudly: "Yes, yes, it is provided by our store, and the abbot of Tsinghua Temple also wrote a pair of words for us, which will be hung out in a few days." ”
Opening a store is so strange, the more people there are, the more people come, Xu Lan thought about it later, some came for the goods in the store, some came for the name, and some came because there were many people, to put it bluntly, I just wanted to see why so many people came.
For a while, it was almost like she could even turn around and meet people, and Sister Chen was so busy that she didn't care about the west.
As for Xu Lan, she naturally helps, but her main job is to guard the cashier and count the money.
In the evening, it was settled, and this afternoon was twice as much as yesterday's turnover.
In the evening, everyone gathered together for dinner, and when they talked about this sales, they were a little stunned, and they all said that Xu Lan's method was good. Xu Lan was naturally modest, and said some team spirit to brainwash. In the end, everyone was very happy, feeling that what they did was very important, and their value was recognized by everyone, and they were more like chicken blood, and they were all very excited. He also said that he would let Shunzi help in the shop the next day, and let Zhao run if there was anything.
In the evening, Steward Zhao and Xu Lan went home together and first went to the study and told Xu Yiliang about today's turnover, Xu Lan described the crowded situation, and said that she should buy more goods, otherwise it would be too troublesome to buy goods often like this. He also said that he couldn't even fit the cabinet below when he bought the goods, and he had to find a place to put the inventory.
Xu Yiliang was also very excited, and even said: "Yes, yes."
Steward Zhao proposed to rent the backyard of the shop, and there was a separate way to enter the yard behind the shop. But there is only one wall between the shop and the courtyard inside, and when the wall is removed, it is connected. Other nearby shops also have this. It's just that the rent is a lot higher. The backyard can be used to store goods and live in people.
Xu Yiliang said that he should ask the owner first, and he could agree to rent.
Steward Zhao talked about Shunzi again, saying that Sister Chen and Xu Lan didn't even have time to drink saliva all day long, and I was afraid that Shunzi would have to go to the shop to help first tomorrow. He also said that the matter of the straight son should be followed by him.
Xu Yiliang naturally had nothing to say, and the three of them talked for a while, and they all felt very excited. Or Xu Lan cautiously said to look at it for a while, and today is a special situation.
In the evening, Xu Lan lay on the bed and thought about today's business situation, the new handkerchief sold seven today, the ordinary handkerchief sold for ten wen, and this single handkerchief sold for twenty wen. Double as expensive! Profits have also doubled! She also went to the boutique in Huaiyang County, and there were also boutique handkerchiefs that sold for hundreds of Wen. Although they take the mid-range route, it is okay to set a few dozen yuan. As long as this handkerchief material is used better, it is good to get individual packaging, and the embroidery is already good. Packing in a box is too costly and has no features. Why don't you customize some paper bags, and wrap the oil paper for snacks? Or wrapping paper? I don't know if I can make it, let's see if I can customize some of it.
