Chapter 132: Rouge Pavilion
After the flower feast, it was early winter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Selangor City also became really cold and warm.
On this day, Lin Yi sent someone to invite Su Miao to Hengqing Hall to discuss things.
"Young owner, do you remember that you put some rose pearl skin care balm in the hall last year?" Lin Yi asked, "At that time, it was very popular, and there were many repeat customers, but unfortunately, you left Selangora City later, and this balsam was broken." Other families want to imitate, but they can't imitate that effect, and now that the weather is cold, there are many young ladies who send people to ask! ”
"Go make a pot and bring it up." Su Miao gave the paper bag in her hand to the guy who was waiting on the side, which was the jasmine bud that had been sunburned: "Uncle Lin, you can taste my newly made jasmine tea." ”
The aroma of jasmine tea is extremely clear and domineering, and as soon as the guy came in with the tea, Lin Yi took a breath: "This seems to be much more fragrant than ordinary jasmine?" ”
Su Miao nodded: "What about the skin care balm you just mentioned, in fact, I'm really preparing to do a little." But I was going to give it to a friend...... Anyway, I've been free lately, so it's not a problem to go long...... What do you think of this jasmine scent? ”
"Excellent!" Lin Yi stroked his palm and agreed, "With this kind of balsam, even incense can be waived, which is a selling point!" ”
"I'm also going to make some different colors of rouge, do I want to make more and sell them?" Su Miao asked, sighing in her heart that she didn't know how the master found those shopkeepers of Hengqing Hall at that time, one or two of them loved to make money, and they would not let go as long as they had the opportunity.
"It's so much better!" It is rare for Su Miao to be so proactive, and Lin Yi is naturally happy to see it.
"It's just that in this way, will Hengqingtang's business be affected?" Su Miao looked at the bustling crowd downstairs, Hengqingtang was originally in the medicinal materials business, and people came and went, but if there was more of this business specializing in women's dependents...... It's not that I'm afraid that the guests of Hengqing Hall will affect those female relatives to come to the door, anyway, they don't like to come...... She just thought it would keep the guys in the store busy?
"Actually, I'm planning to discuss with the owner of the young village, whether I can open another shop like a rouge hall......" Lin Yi pointed to the location of the window, and outside was the shop that competed with Hengqing Hall, "It just so happened that the shop next door was vacant, and I was talking to the boss over there and put the shop over." If the owner of the young village agrees to open a rouge shop, there is just a ready-made land to use. ”
“…… Wouldn't that be too big? The shop next door was originally engaged in dry goods business, and Su Miao had also noticed that the store was not small, "Wouldn't it take a lot of goods to be full?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Lin Yi waved his hand, "My subordinates already have a general idea, if the side is changed into a rouge house, only the first floor needs to be used, and the second floor will be converted into a teahouse that only accepts female guests." In this way, those ladies can meet friends by the way, and then buy rouge gouache together. ”
"In the Rouge Hall on the first floor, in addition to the skin care balm and rouge made by the young owner as a signboard and sold in limited quantities every day, the subordinates will also communicate with Hengqingtang in the Snow Country and Eagle Country, and when the time comes, some cloths, embroidery threads, handmade ornaments, etc. with local characteristics will come back, and I think those young ladies will also be very interested."
"Hmmm! That's a good idea! Su Miao looked at the confident Lin Yi with admiring eyes, "Uncle Lin, you are too powerful!" I want to do it all. When she traveled around the world, she bought a lot of local gadgets, so Lin Yi's idea was very feasible. They Hengqingtang originally transported medicinal materials to each other, and it didn't cost anything extra to transport these things back, not to mention that there were no similar shops in the capital at the moment, even if someone imitated and wanted to buy the same goods back in the future, even if Hengqingtang sold them at the same price, they would still earn more freight and other costs than them! Shopkeeper Lin is so good at making money, I have to send him a big red envelope at the end of this year!
After receiving Su Miao's praise, Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand modestly: "All this still depends on the young owner of your rouge, and the others are actually just adding......
"Okay, I'll start preparing in the next few days." Seeing Song Chen appear downstairs and was being led to the second floor by the guy, Su Miao was also about to end the topic, "Uncle Lin, you can start preparing the decoration and furnishings of the store." ”
"Do you have any thoughts on this?" Lin Yi consulted Su Miao's opinion.
"Uncle Lin can be the master." Su Miao really didn't have any ideas.
"Then after I draw the picture in my imagination, I will show you the young owner first?" is always doing business about her daughter's family, and it is necessary to take a look at Su Miao's first, although she is different from the average daughter's family, but her vision is always more delicate than that of his old man.
"That's fine!" Su Miao also understood what Lin Yi meant. At most, after she got the picture, she showed it to the sisters in Jingwangfu, and they also gave some advice.
After the matter was finished, Lin Yi also went back to his shopkeeper's room to continue to be busy, and when he left, he also took his cup of flower tea with him by the way.
As soon as Song Chen arrived, Su Miao pulled him to leave: "Let's go back to the house!" ”
The house that Su Miao said is actually a forest house. Since she lived in King Jing's Mansion, she didn't go back there much, after all, it wasn't very decent to run out often. Generally, only when Su Miao needs to dispense some medicine, will he return there. However, Song Chen is very keen to go back, because every time he goes back, he and Su Miao are really alone, and no one disturbs them. Unlike in King Jing's Mansion, if it was in his Yingcui Garden, it would be better, Su Miao's Jade Xuan really didn't have a moment of missing people. So sometimes Su Miao simply hid in his yard.
Now Song Chendu is starting to regret it a little, why did he insist on Su Miao moving into King Jing's Mansion at that time? Actually, he should have moved out! Because I don't worry about Miaomiao living alone in the forest house, what a good reason to move over to protect her!
In fact, if Song Chen likes to be alone with Su Miao so much because he has some crooked thoughts, then it is really not. He simply didn't like to be disturbed by outsiders, because if this was the case, Su Miao's only attention would be on him except for what he was doing. He didn't like Su Miao's attention to be on irrelevant people, so even though Su Miao was busy with things in his hands when he returned to the Lin Mansion, he was also willing, it was best if he could help, and when he couldn't help, he would be satisfied to quietly watch him by the side.
Since Su Miao agreed to Lin Yi to open a store, she began to use her brains on skin care balm. In fact, she already had an idea before, that is, what she had just mentioned to Lin Yi, in addition to the rose pearl skin care balm made last year, add one more jasmine fragrance. But after returning to the Lin Mansion with Song Chen, looking at the various flowers and trees blooming in the yard, she added different ideas. Since it's all done, it's better to add a few more scents, and add lilies, magnolias, and mast flowers. Anyway, she and Song Chen went to the valley a few more days ago, and in addition to the lilies, she also picked a lot of these flowers. Although it was already dried, it didn't matter, she still had a way of refining the essential oil from these dried flowers. It doesn't take too much effort for Su Miao to add a few more floral scents, and the recipe for skin care balm can still use the previous one, as long as you add different flower essential oils, it's a matter of making a few more trips.
In this way, every morning from King Jing's Mansion and to the courtyard of the Lin Mansion, Song Chen practiced on one side, Su Miao cleaned up the flowers on the other side, refined essential oils, and then added various ingredients together to make balsam, and at night, both of them were dyed with a fragrance and returned home. Sometimes, if Song Chen is hungry for Su Miao's craftsmanship, they will not have breakfast in Jingwangfu, but return to the Lin Mansion, Su Miao will make breakfast, Song Chen will go to practice the morning class, and when he finishes practicing, the glutinous porridge and mushroom and meat buns have been ready, and they will pick flowers together after eating......
After making a lot of different floral scents in the skin care balm, Su Miao also added different flowers to create different colors when making rouge. In addition to the usual red, there are five different shades of red, in addition, Su Miao also made a yellowish hue, a purple hue, and even a light green color, through these unique new colors and the different shades of red, and can be self-blended to create a unique new color, which is very special.
As soon as this idea was proposed to Lin Yi, he praised Su Miao's brilliant idea. Su Miao and Song Chen's movements were very fast, Lin Yi's movements were even faster, I don't know how he found the person, in just eight days, the shop next to Hengqing Hall has been transformed according to the drawings he drawn, the embroidery threads, handmade products, and cloths he said earlier have been shipped to the first batch, and as soon as Su Miao's skin care balm and rouge are handed over to him, they will be ready to open.
After soliciting the opinions of Su Miao and Song Chen, Lin Yi gave this new shop a name, called "Miaoshou Rouge Pavilion". The words were written by Song Chen, his handwriting is excellent, although it has been carved by craftsmen, but as soon as the plaque is hung out, the vigorous and powerful feeling of iron painting silver hook and force through the back of the paper is still coming to you.
By the day it opened, it was bustling with activity. Because Lin Yi had already sent someone to inform those who had asked about Hengqing Hall before, and after word of mouth, there were many people who came to the door. Although the price of the Rouge Pavilion is much higher than that of other Rouge Pavilions (a box of high-quality rouge in the general Rouge Pavilion is only eight to ten taels of silver, and the price of the Rouge Pavilion in the Rouge Pavilion is fifty taels of skincare balm or rouge), it is still flocking. The kind of multi-colored rouge that Su Miao blended was very attractive to the young ladies, in addition to the explanation of the shop guys, the colors that Su Miao had tried before about the different color blends that could be obtained, also wrote a description, and made people copy a lot of copies, and every time they bought a box of rouge, they would give one away, which was especially sought after.
