Since the opening of Nalan Donggui's small store, Yun'er has one more job content, that is, to carry goods to Nalan Donggui's department store every other day. Every day at noon, Yun'er had to meditate on her bed and carry the cargo boxes of small commodities up in the air. Then pick out what you need in Nalan Donggui's store, and with the help of Mama Lin and Yu'er Shui'er, you can count, keep accounts, and fill in the shipping list. Mama Lin also has an account book in her hand, which is kept at the bottom.

The quantity of each move is not very large, but it is used and taken. It's not that you don't have that ability, it's that you can't be too conspicuous, and it's a trouble to be conspicuous. Fortunately, there are still goods from the Qing Dynasty mixed in the store of Donggui, which has just opened, and there are more people watching the excitement than buying goods, and two cartons of goods can be sold every day.

The boxes that Yun'er carried up through the air were all placed directly on the floor of the hall, and when Yu'er and Shui'er came back at noon, they saw it and thought that the prince had ordered someone to carry it up from elsewhere in the house.

Yun'er took out each of the ready-made sachets from the arts and crafts factory from the pile and left them as samples, and Yun'er, who had not really gone through the business, had no bottom in his heart about the goods he bought. The result was very optimistic, and the news that the Nalan guards brought back was that the goods in the house, no matter what they were, would be sold out as soon as they were put out.

The prince instructed Nalan's guards to go to his brother's shop every day to check on the situation so that they could keep track of the movements there. For example, whether anyone smashed the store, what goods sold faster, and what was unsalable.

Nalan fed back the information that the sales volume of the festival goods during the Dragon Boat Festival was relatively large, and the ones called headdresses used by women were relatively fast. The sachet called the roasted wheat bun is as if it doesn't cost money, and the sack bag has also become a fast item. Roasted wheat buns are a variety of sachets that are not available in the Qing Dynasty, and it is understandable that they sell quickly. But the style of the sack bag is already in the Qing Dynasty, the reason is that the brocade used to make the sack bag is stiffer than the Qing Dynasty, and the color is more gorgeous, and there is a bright yellow braided rope on the back.

The headdresses used by those women are also styles that are not available in the Qing Dynasty, because of the different processing equipment, they appear more exquisite, and the price is slightly lower than that of similar goods in the Qing Dynasty. Selling plastic, alloy, resin, and stainless steel jewelry as gold and silver, Yun'er can't get through here. All merchants sell as much money as possible, Yun'er doesn't think so. It is true that the purpose of doing business is to make money, but you can't even have conscience and shame in order to make money. The capital of five cents was sold for ten taels of silver, and Yun'er felt that it was not a business but a robbery.

The sachet that was originally a holiday cargo has become a favorite thing of female compatriots. Then start processing siu mai bags and sack bags, these two sachets are the easiest and easiest to make, who wouldn't make sachets among women in the Qing Dynasty? You will learn it as soon as you learn it. Roasted wheat buns must be made of dried flowers, this kind of sachet is not worn on the body, it is hung in the car or bed by the girls, the smell is fragrant, refreshing. It is not appropriate to put dried flowers in a sack bag. The brocade is opaque, and it is not good to look at the eight warped ones, and it can only be filled with spices such as vanilla and lavender. There is a spice shop not far from the house. You can buy a handful of vanilla for a penny.

Sachets and purses are not only the mascots of the Dragon Boat Festival, but also the embellishments that many men who wear long shirts in the Qing Dynasty often wear. Of course, there are also those who wear jade ornaments, which can prove their identity. From this, Yun'er thought of the plastic colored beads she bought in the exotic color bead factory. Needless to say, there are 200 boxes of gifts given by the factory director, all of which are boxes the size of one meter cube. Tong guò has processed sachets in the past few days, Yun'er feels that there are not many colored beads, only three sachets are used, 1.4 million yuan of genuine goods and more than 200 boxes of gifts, and other beads, it seems that some should be retailed. Because returning to the Qing Dynasty to do business is not only a commodity of sachets, but also many other commodities, just selling sachets can make a few bucks, or mainly cloth. When the prince came to him, he told him his thoughts, that is, the director of the color bead factory said, selling it in two, it will definitely be welcomed by the old girl, of course, the house should be left enough for processing.

"Yes, there are a lot of plastic colored beads, you first find the scale, and then take the scale to Donggui for a trial sale. The factory director said that two yuan and one tael are very suitable, and two yuan is our ten cents here, but one or two in an exotic land is more than one or two in our Qing Dynasty, because people are one pound and ten taels, and Daqing is one pound and sixteen taels. I guess it's going to sell. ”

"You can do it, such a subtle thing has been noticed, the color beads are not in the Qing Dynasty, the weight of plastic color beads is very light, one or two can weigh a lot, for the rich lady, young grandmother, ten cents is not a money. Those giveaways didn't cost anything at all. ”

"Are you going to settle accounts? Those transportation costs are not the cost? ”

Yun'er stuck out her tongue: "I'm sorry, I forgot about this stubble." ”

The prince smiled and said: "You are sorry for yourself, all the goods were bought by your father's antiques in exchange for money, don't take it seriously." ”

"Yes, Yun'er knows."

The prince obviously felt that he was becoming more and more natural and comfortable when he was alone with Yun'er, and Yun'er was also a lot less sincere and fearful, and he didn't have so many scruples when talking to the prince.

What the prince likes about Yun'er is that she has always been the same, she doesn't pretend at all, she doesn't scratch her head, twist her posture, she doesn't make a tone, she never thinks about the prince's thoughts, and she is straight to the point when she has anything to say. The prince felt that being with Yun'er seemed to be more casual than being with Fujin. It's not that Fujin is pretending, it's that her identity is different from Yun'er, and she has always been respectful and respectful with the prince, and she rarely goes against the prince.

During the all-night conversation with the prince, Fu Jin learned that his mission was to train chefs for future merchant restaurants or restaurants, followed by costume design, piggyback on learning exotic musical instruments. Of course, the previous Zhongfeng who was in charge of the house must continue, and this cannot be handed over to others. When I thought about it, my heart was heavy, and I was a little at a loss, and I didn't know where to start. I asked the prince, and the prince said: "Yun'er has brought you a lot of exotic cooking books, which contain exotic dishes and old-fashioned dishes that have been passed down for many years. You just choose some trial ones from it, let Master Xu and his family do it first, and you guide them. After success, he taught the chef in charge of the restaurant in the future. There are a lot of simplified words in the cooking book that Yun'er gave you that you don't know, it doesn't matter, Yun'er has a very thin booklet called "Traditional Chinese Characters and Simplified Characters Comparison Table", go back and bring it to you, you first memorize the words on this comparison table, and then read the book. Then every day from the book with the familiar traditional Chinese characters to copy a few recipes for cooking, let Master Xu make it in two bites, so that it suits the taste of our Qing people, and must not hand over the book to them, this is a trade secret. If you know that we have the recipe for 8,000 vegetarian dishes, it will be troublesome, someone will come to steal, maybe there will be a killer to kill us, how many people in the world do not live for fame and profit? Minimize the range of people in the know. When Master Xu and his wife are successful and proficient, and can memorize the formula, they will destroy what you wrote, and don't show up the book. ”

"The concubine is very powerful. We want to make money for the emperor, and the whole world knows the recipe for our cooking, so we won't be able to make money. Rest assured, the concubines will be careful. ”

So Fujin began to learn from simplified words, and there were many simplified words in exotic books, which became an obstacle on the way forward. Moreover, exotic books are all horizontally, which is very unaccustomed to Fujin, who has been reading vertical books for decades. But she likes the cooking book Yun'er gave her very much, and she has to try the dishes according to the recipe in the book, how can she do it if she doesn't recognize the words on it? Although it's awkward, it's also patient. From picking up the comparison table and making trouble in my heart, to gradually mastering some rules, simplifying words is also a rule-by-rule, and it is not necessary to overcome it word by word, it is possible to draw inferences from one another. For example, the traditional Chinese character used in the Qing Dynasty is "貝". Anyone who has the word "bei" next to it can write "貝". For example, "wealth, defeat, trafficking, poverty, and greed" can be directly reduced to "wealth, defeat, corruption, corruption, corruption, poverty, and greed", that is, there are rules to follow, and there is no need to recognize them word by word. "Car" means "car" and "door" means "door". Of course, there are also special ones, for example, the word "shu" that people in the Qing Dynasty knew was always "book" in foreign books. Even the shape doesn't look like it anymore. Mama Zheng also looked at the comparison table and didn't understand: "Why should the words of Hao'er be simplified?" ”

"This is the way it is written in a foreign land, what does it matter to us? If it weren't for the books over there, I wouldn't want to learn any simplified characters. But the books they bought back were all simplified, and they couldn't do things if they didn't know each other. And it's all horizontal, arranged from left to right. Although it's a bit awkward, you really have to get used to it, otherwise many things will be difficult to do. But I think I can still learn it, and I'm going to eat them even if it's a roadblock. ”

"Okay, you're good enough." Mama Zheng gave a thumbs up.

Also learning simplified characters at the same time as Fujin are Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, Xuan'er and Rui'er. No one gave Xuan'er and Rui'er any tasks, they just wanted to learn and were interested, because the children's books that Yun'er bought for them were all simplified characters. In particular, the "100,000 Whys" that Yun'er bought is not only a simplified version, but also has a very beautiful color painting on it, and it is also annotated with Chinese pinyin, it is a pity that such an attractive book cannot be understood. While grandpa and grandma learned from Xiaoeniang, Xuan'er and Rui'er also learned. The four "Etymologies" that Yun'er gave to her father became Mr. Chen's treasures. However, it was all simplified words, which hindered Mr. from reading. Therefore, in order to master the knowledge of the etymology, it is necessary to overcome the obstacle of simplifying words. Mrs. Chen learned to simplify the characters in order to make snacks according to the recipes in the snack cooking books that Yun'er gave her.

Yun'er brought back more than just one copy of the traditional and simplified character comparison table, Xiaoli printed dozens of copies. In addition to Fu Jin and Mr. Chen are studying, Mrs. Chen, Xuan'er, and Rui'er are studying, and there is another person who is learning, that is, Ling Juan, she and Fu Jin, Mr. Chen and others are learning the opposite, she is learning traditional Chinese characters. Because the Qing Dynasty uses traditional characters, it must conform to the actual situation here. After using simplified characters for more than 20 years, when she came to the Qing Dynasty, she had to re-read words, Ling Juan felt very speechless.

I opened a consignment store in a few days after I came back, but in fact, the pace of doing business is still very fast, mainly because the supply of goods is sufficient, the goods are novel, and the sales are considerable. The new shopkeeper Nalan Donggui has an income of nearly ten taels of silver every day, and he is so happy that he can't even keep his mouth shut. I'm afraid that the prince doesn't have so many supplies and has nothing to sell, so won't it be stopped? Dig hard with the second brother. Nalan's guards didn't know how many goods the prince had brought back, which could make his brother's business go on in the long run. comforted Donggui and said, "The shop has been rented for you, why don't you do it for three days and five days?" Listen to your second sister-in-law, the girls and grandmothers in the front and back courtyards are processing goods for your small shop, and they also have to train and teach Mama, which means that the maids and mothers in the house can have extra needlework, think about it? ”

Donggui was relieved. He never dreamed that he would embark on the road of formal business, nor did he expect that he would be able to sell goods to Prince Rui and earn such a good income. Every day is full of joy, and he runs his own small shop seriously.

Because he is not in a very prosperous area here, there has been no ruffian smashing in the first few days of opening. But he knew that sooner or later it would happen. Because he is an ordinary person, he is the target of exploitation by evil forces. But he is not very afraid, one is that he has kung fu himself, even the guy also has kung fu, he is a Shaolin kung fu soldier trained by the prince, and he will not hurt people by smashing the field, and he may not be able to smash it.

The prince did treat Tian Liang as the future head of the palace to cultivate, and the future business will not be a share, and this chief shopkeeper is none other than Tian Liang. Tian Liang has to play an important role in the process of doing business, so the prince will let Tian Liang use it, Tian Liang also lives up to the high expectations of the prince, and almost every day he has to go to Nalan Department Store to see the situation, and Yulong Buzhuang also often goes. One of the contents is to see if there are any ruffians smashing the field, and then there are sales, and what other products are popular.

The festival goods before the Dragon Boat Festival are the most popular, followed by women's goods, that is, those small objects called headdresses brought back from foreign lands, which attract all the women who come into the store to see the excitement, from girls as young as a few years old, to old ladies in their fifties and sixties, almost no one doesn't like these things, and the screams are endless!

This situation was fed back to Yun'er by Tian Liang, and Yun'er was sure that the exotic goods could be fully accepted by the people of the Qing Dynasty. There are no less than 1,000 women of all sizes who come to the Nalan department store every day, and very few of them walk out of the store empty-handed. In particular, those low-priced hairpins, yarn flowers, fungus flowers, red head ropes, earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets have been "received" by Yun'er's words. The plastic flowers of the rubber band on the girl's head are bright and delicate, and the girl who combs the mustache can put a set of plastic flowers on the rubber band opposite, which is particularly eye-catching and eye-catching. They are all based on cartoon paintings, with flower images and small animal images, as well as bows and children's heads, which are exaggerated and cute, and are the favorite of girls under the age of ten: Han girls who are poor like a red head rope for a penny, the color is dazzling, not fading, and strong. A little more upscale is the fungus flower, which is a narrow leather band attached to one side of the nylon yarn in delicate colors such as red, pink, and lilac, and the other side is the edge of the fungus effect locked out with a density sewing machine. In this way, it is loose and tight, and when you use it, you can pull it open and put it on the bun, and it is a feeling to connect the petals. Not only is it beautiful, but it is also very convenient, and it can also play a role in fixing the bun without falling apart. The price is not expensive at all, and the price set by Yun'er is acceptable to the common people of the Qing Dynasty.

Yun'er is going to find out the density code edge machine in the sewing machine, Yun'er has bought a lot of colored nylon yarn, and there are also many nylon yarns in Xiaolibu's head!

Nalan Department Store tried to sell 100 packs of plastic colored beads, all of which were put on the counter and weighed the colored beads to customers in person, as well as the Daqing Dynasty's fair scale, if the customer suspected that the scale was not enough, he used the scale himself. Each customer sells a maximum of two taels, which are weighed and wrapped in exotic wrapping paper. The first person to see the retail sale of colored beads was a young lady from a large family, with a maid, who was very surprised to buy two taels of colored beads, wrapped a big pack, and walked away happily. As soon as I left the store, someone asked, "Did the girl buy a piece of candy?" ”

"No, this is the colored beads used to make sachets, which we don't have in the Qing Dynasty."

"Show us." The one who asked to see the beads was a young daughter-in-law. The maid girl said, "This eldest sister, can you go in and take a look?" We're afraid of spilling and not picking it up. ”

"I'm sorry, I'll go in and see." When the young woman entered the store, she saw a woman queuing, and there was a strange scale sitting on the counter, and colorful beads were rolling in the weighing pan. The little daughter-in-law was at the end of the line without saying a word, and just after the line, there were four or five teenage girls behind her, chattering: "We have never sold such good-looking colored beads in the Qing Dynasty, and it is better to make sachets, one or two is ten cents, and two or two are a big pack, which can be used for more than half a year!" ”

"Don't you see, it's all kinds of colors, it's colorful, it's beautiful. One sachet with three masters is enough. It is a limited supply, and you can only buy two taels in line at a time. ”

"The shopkeeper said, not necessarily open to sell, maybe sell today, next time the day after tomorrow to sell, it seems that there are not a lot of colored beads, hurry up and buy, I heard that this is a foreign import......"
