Chapter Twenty-Three: You Can Choose to Be Your New Self

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan have heard the story of "Hoof Tendon Stewed Tofu" and admire the new sister very much.

"Sister Xiaohan, if the situation at that time had changed, I would never have been able to do it, you really experienced harm!" Shih Tzu said.

"I can't do it, can I?" Zheng Dan followed uncertainly.

Han Zhou smiled and said, "If it were me and listened to other people's stories, I might have said like you, 'I will never be able to do it'." ”

"Huh? Why? "Neither of them understood.

Han Zhou smiled and said: "That's because there was no environment for people who were not in the local area to be angry. The two sisters think about it, which of the identities of people, such as heroes and criminals, is fixed by God? The hero has the courage to go into battle and kill, and the country says that he is a hero because there is a war, and he happens to be a soldier. If he doesn't kill the other party on the battlefield, he will be killed by the other party. And what about a certain prisoner? He didn't dare to kill like an ordinary person, but he may have been bullied by the officials, betrayed by his friends, betrayed by his wife, and couldn't contain the anger in his chest for a while, so he took action, and as a result, he was condemned by the government and punished by punishment. Think about it, is there a big difference between people? It's actually not big. ”

"Oh." seems to be such a reason, both of them found recognition in each other's eyes.

"So, I'm the same as you. Sometimes lazy, sometimes greedy, sometimes stinky and beautiful, sometimes a little cautious, sometimes love to be spoiled or something. However, there is no one to spoil now. Speaking of this, Han Zhou smiled self-deprecatingly, a little lonely and lonely.

"That-sister, you can be coquettish with me!" Shih Tzu said with concern. She already knew that Hanzhou was a sick person, and she couldn't find her relatives.

"That's right, in fact, it's okay to be coquettish with Seventh Brother." Zheng Dan, who seems to be honest, came to say this. Then he looked at Hanzhou playfully.

"Huh?" Han Zhou and Xi Shi were shocked by this sudden sentence, this is an honest man?

"It seems that you should get married, or you don't know what is going to happen!" Han Zhou said viciously.

"She's going to get married, and she'll be there in a few days." Shih Tzu threw out intelligence.

"Really? Congratulations! Han Zhou said.

Zheng Dan twisted his body shyly: "I don't know how, it's just because I also came from the East China Sea, and I want to find a person from my hometown in the East China Sea to settle down." ”

"Oh. That's right. "Hanzhou wants to say that it's good to find a fellow countryman, Lao Chen and I are fellow countrymen, we can eat in a pot, and we can understand the dialect if we want to scold.

"His family is also in business." Zheng Dan added.

"Oh, there's a common language."

Zheng Dan was stunned for a moment, and figured it out, the common language is quite something to say. She smiled approvingly.

"Why don't we dress up as a bride?" Han Zhou looked at Xi Shi and asked.

"Okay, what did Sister Xiao Han say?" Xi Shi looked terrifying, and he was almost ready to go. It seems to be a businesswoman.

"I see Zheng Dan's hair is very good, let's comb her a bride's hairstyle, shall we?" Hanzhou also has a lot of fun.

Soon Zheng Dan's original hair was scattered, Han Zhou thought about it, and remembered the way he combed his daughter when she was a child. At this time, there was no rubber band, so I had to let Xi Shi find a rope. She picked up a small lock of hair from the side of her head according to the idea of a scorpion braid, and then pressed another small lock up, and braided it yard by yard against the scalp, and slowly an arc appeared from behind, the end of the arc was already the other side of the head, and the remaining hair was still very long, so she changed her technique and braided it in the way of a twist braid, until she couldn't hold it in her hand before she used a string to close the end of her hair. After it was closed, Hanzhou rolled it up little by little, and then on the right side of the head, a bun with stacked patterns appeared, and because the ends of the hair were well hidden, the lines were very clear, showing a neat and delicate beauty.

Xi Shi sighed with his mouth open, it was so good-looking. Zheng Dan was very anxious, she couldn't see it herself.

Han Zhou said, "Quickly find me a hairpin, I have to fix it." ”

Shih Tzu hurriedly took it off his head.

It's done, Xi Shi praised it vigorously, and Zheng Dan was anxious. In the bronze mirror, she could only see the front, not the back.

Xi Shi said leisurely: "Actually, it's nothing, it's like a black snake crawling on its head." ”

Han Zhou was so amused by this Nizi that he couldn't hold back, is this going to be angry?

Of course, laughter and trouble are just accessories for life, and the main task of these two girls is to accompany Hanzhou around, and see where to make a store when shopping. Originally, Hanzhou wanted to open a store first, and then open it one by one, but when she arrived in Xianyang and saw the Hu family's financial resources, she changed her mind.

Xianyang is a place with a large population and many capable people, and the process of making tofu is not high. If you open a store first, others will see it and soon follow up, and your share of the market will not be so large. If the huge Xianyang opens several Hu Ji tofu shops at the same time, the situation will be different, that is, it will occupy the market, and if others follow up, the momentum will be weak.

Hanzhou thought that the store didn't need to be big, but the location was very important, and the production workshop could use the idle rooms at home and then distribute them to each store in a unified manner, so that professional people would do professional things, and the possibility of technology outflow would be less. This is more cost-effective and more efficient than the front-store-back-factory model.

Hu Qi agreed with her idea, and the old man also agreed. He has a bad mouth and has fallen in love with soft tofu.

Hanzhou also made a rendering of the store to show them, and the standards to be achieved are a unified wooden plaque "Hu Ji Tofu", a unified wooden couplet, a unified case, a unified shelf, a unified clothing for the clerk, and a unified price and quality of goods.

This is the idea of the chain store, but it is very amazing to appear at this time, Old Man Hu said mischievously, Old Seven, you have picked up a treasure.

Hu Qi only laughed.

In order to have a more attractive effect, Hanzhou made changes to the clerk's clothing. She thinks that women and men in the Qin Dynasty wore long robes and short robes with slanted plackets, and the belt was rooted in the waist because buttons had not yet been invented, so the first factor for a piece of clothing to have novelty was to have buttons. But the materials she could find in this era were too limited, so she had to sew buttons with strips of cloth. The placket is open on both sides of the door, and the buckles are paired on both sides, row by row, compared to the belt that corsets the waist, it has a complex and well-proportioned beauty.

A set of sample clothes was made of old clothes from Xi Shi, and the upper body was deliberately made very short, and below the lower abdomen was an ordinary long skirt, which could be matched with the original bloomers. Either it's empty and uncomfortable for a while. This break in the ratio of length to length makes the person wearing the dress appear very slender.

The men's model is also open to the middle door, with a disc buckle instead of a belt at the waist, and the outer garment is a simple mid-length style, with an open air on both sides to the hakama, and bloomers inside. This looks simple and dignified, and there are no restrictions on activities.

Xi Shi Yu likes this outfit very much, because she often worries about being short, and when she wears this changed dress, she is not small and looks very energetic. No one tried the men's clothes, and everyone laughed, but they also thought it was good.

Hanzhou means that as soon as a new tofu shop opens, even people who don't know what tofu is will come to take a look, and when she looks at the clerk's clothes, she also looks at the goods by the way, so that the promotion of new products will be faster.

Everyone agrees on the reason, but it seems that the steps are a little too big, and the guys who chose to be clerks push each other, but no one is wearing this strange clothes. Xi Shi poked Hu Qi and said, "Brother, why don't you wear it and sell tofu." The crowd laughed.

There are only two people in this laughing crowd who are not so happy, that is, Hu Qi's two wives, Hanzhou can't figure out which of them is the big and which is the second, anyway, she is mixed with her two sisters all day long, rarely meets, and she is too lazy to bother.

The two women became more and more unhappy when they saw that the new woman was making some new gadgets for the house every day, which attracted the whole family around, but they couldn't help it, as if she could really make money.

Of course, when it comes to clothes, a compromise plan is finally set, and it is still necessary to unify the style and color, and the appearance remains the same. It is a blue and gray color, suitable for both men and women, and it can be worn in all seasons.

Zheng Dan saw that no one was wearing new clothes, it was a pity, she really wanted to wear such clothes when she got married, just once, and then she picked out what no one said. It's a pity that it's too late, and it's very laborious to do.

While training the skills of making tofu at home and decorating the storefront, on the thirtieth day of Hanzhou's arrival in Xianyang, six tofu shops opened at the same time. It's a pity that the artillery battle has not yet been invented, otherwise it would have been more lively. But in this era of poor entertainment, it is also a big deal to have a new store open on a street. There were quite a few people around.

It's still an old trick, and the samples of various tofu dishes are now made and put on display, so that people can taste them. Of course, now she doesn't have to do it in Hanzhou, it's the clerk who is doing it, and she can't be separated from the six stores.

Come to think of it, I've been very busy lately, and I've tried things I haven't tried before, such as opening a store, like playing simple games with my sisters. Originally, she thought that she could only teach, and she wanted to quit if she was unhappy in the unit, but every time she felt that she could endure it, and she might not be able to do well outside, so she endured it for so many years, and then it didn't matter if she was happy or not. It's the same with people, always doing what I like, not going to bowling, not going to dinner, not going to that, and not going to go again, and people won't greet her when they go again. It seems that the days are getting narrower and narrower.

It seems that there is a problem with Lao Chen, she always opposes Lao Chen playing games, the reason is just that she doesn't like the game project. So if you don't like it, you can also try to understand it? Actually, you don't need to like it that much. Maybe as long as he sat next to Lao Chen and watched him play for a while, Lao Chen would be very happy.

Hanzhou felt that there was still something to gain from crossing over, that is, he could choose to be a new self.
