Chapter 364: The Opening Ceremony
Huang Po entered the Mu Mansion, and Yan Tianyan took her to live in her own peony garden. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info also asked Sima Butler to arrange two weaver embroiderers accompanying him, and a housekeeper also lived in a special place in the house to accommodate guests. The coachman also arranged accommodation. Among the three people who accompanied him, one was Huang Po's niece, named Su Yan, who was a very beautiful woman.
The peony garden is very large, and there are many guest rooms and halls in addition to the main room. She arranged for Huang Po to stay in the room on the right next door to her. Since becoming married, Mu Hanfeng has no own courtyard and was forced to live in the Peony Garden by Princess Jinyu, Mu Hanfeng and Liu Wuying Xia Chenyu have a good relationship, and sometimes they will stay here, so there are several rooms and halls. But pay attention to the left of the man and the right of the woman. There is also a guest room to the right of the master bedroom, but no female guests have ever stayed. Huang Po was the first.
Yan Qianyan also asked Xiaohong to serve her and listen to her orders. Such a high treatment made Huang Po a little flattered, and all the dissatisfaction in her heart when she first saw Yan Yan was swept away. She helped Yan Tanyan to sort out the silk satin, cotton and linen yarn she brought according to the grade, and Yan Tanyan divided it into many parts according to the type of color. The rest is kept as samples for the store.
This work is easier said than done. It basically took a whole day, and there were seven or eight maids to help.
When completely separated, wrap it in a variety of colored cloth and a ribbon with a bow on it, much like a wrapped gift.
Yan Qianyan's hands are skillful, the shape of the bag is boxy, even the soft fabric is used by her to wrap it in thick paper. The bow is also beautifully tied.
Huang Po's eyes were full of surprise. Let's not talk about the contents of the contents, but the packaging alone makes people like it. This reminded her of an idiom, buy beads and pay off.
She said very sincerely: "The young lady is really skillful, so that even my mother-in-law likes it." ”
Yan Tianyan tied the last bow and said, "This is simple, you can learn it." The important things are our belongings. I haven't seen anything good, but by feeling, if the fabric of our embroidery workshop is the second in Da Liangguo, no one dares to say that it is the first. , the feel of the color texture light color, color embroidery, absolutely. Granny Huang, you just wait to make money. ”
She doesn't understand fabrics, just by distinguishing them today, she can feel that these fabrics are all top-notch, and any kind of fabric, even if it's just linen to make clothes, is a quality identity.
received such a high evaluation from the owner, Huang Po's eyes narrowed with a smile.
In this way, she looks less elegant and more easy-going.
Yan Qianyan wrote the names of the divided cloths and put them away. took Huang Po back to the Peony Garden, and asked people to invite the three people accompanying Huang Po to eat together, and also invited the third aunt and the fourth aunt Sima Butler Mo Tong to accompany him. It's kind of a wind.
The meals are all signature dishes made by the in-house chef.
The next day, Yan Tianyan took Huang Po to start delivering gifts, first the palace, she went to send some daily necessities to Princess Jinyu's grandmother, and then look at her as an excuse, sent things into the palace, and Princess Jinyu personally gave them to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen, and a few concubines and princesses, telling them that this is the product of the Mu family embroidery workshop. Invite them to appreciate it.
and personally sent it to several princes, princesses, ladies and wives.
There is also the Proton Mansion, the General's Mansion.
Then let the coachman go and bring some more general.
It turned out that the fabrics and embroideries of this Mujia embroidery workshop are really quality assurance, even if they are average, they are also good.
Huang Po said that as long as it is general, the supply is absolutely guaranteed. It turns out that this Huang Po embroidery workshop is mainly weaving, Jinzhou is very suitable for planting mulberry trees, and the adjacent Lizhou is a cotton planting area. Therefore, the weaving industry is very developed, and every family has weaving experts and can also dye and embroider cloth. And there are a lot of inventions. The ancestors of the Mu family took a fancy to this, so they opened such an embroidery workshop in Jinzhou, covering a large area, although the business was bleak in previous years (because every household in Jinzhou can weave, so there is not much demand. Left the promotion of Mu Mansion, I can only barely maintain expenses). It hasn't been fully restored yet. But there are a lot of finished products piled up, and if the demand is high, the Weaver Girl is very good. The wage is also not high.
As long as it's in stock.
Yan Qianyan discussed with Sima Butler and asked someone to choose the opening date and hour, and asked Shunxi to distribute leaflets everywhere with the hired men and trained maids. The flyer was written by herself, indicating the price of various fabrics, half price on the opening day, and exquisite gifts. The so-called gift is two beautiful ribbons of silk.
The price is really a little more than the ex-factory price, although it is thin, but it goes to the inventory and opens the market.
So on the day of the opening, the front of the store was simply crowded with colorful flags fluttering. She also took the trouble to invite King Ning to tailor.
When the hour came, sixteen women in red dresses came out like fairies, and the musicians played joyful tunes. The sixteen women were all the same, all as flower-like, and they were holding a wedding ribbon with big red flowers tied to it.
I only heard a mellow male voice: "Lottery!" According to Yan Qianyan's request, King Ning picked up the scissors, raised the knife in his hand, and cut the ribbon.
Firecrackers then rang out and fireworks were set off.
King Ning is the emperor's brother, and he has a good reputation. The owners who received the samples also sent congratulatory gifts.
The cloth in the store, the finished product is cheap and good, the guy is clever and welcomes the maid beautifully, and in less than half a day, the cloth on the shelves is swept away. In the afternoon, all the goods were sold.
Huang Po was dumbfounded.
The cloth had been piling up for a long time, and she struggled every day to figure out how to sell it. I also asked several people to help, and I didn't even dare to speed up the increase. This young lady, who looked young, was sold out in a short period of time, although the price was very low, but there was still a small profit.
The important thing is that you don't have to worry about future sales.
She happily forgot to be dignified and reserved, and covered her face and cried bitterly in the street.
It was the happiest day she's had in years.
Yan Tianyan naturally understood that she was crying with joy. Also, for the sake of integrity, I have adhered to it for so many years, how can I not be happy that I finally keep Yunkai.
Thanks to King Ning, he gave him a bronze medal for drinking tea for free for a month and drinking good tea. Take Granny Huang to look around. After walking for a while, she felt that her feet were swollen and her legs hurt, and she couldn't walk anymore. Invite her to walk around by herself, and then take Lu Qiao back to Mu Mansion.
The body is getting heavier and heavier, and these days I am busy coming and going, and as soon as I relax, I feel uncomfortable all over my body.
Lying on the bed, I feel the child kicking and punching in the stomach.
