Chapter 283: Pattern Renovation
Under the management of Huiya, Liuxiangzhai has put on the shelves one after another, not only in Zhushikou Street began to become famous, but also attracted a lot of ladies or ladies or in person, or sent people to choose gadgets, for a time the number and quality of customers have been significantly improved, and naturally the silver money has also rolled into Huiya's pocket.
Hui Ya knew in her heart that these ladies and young ladies all like to chase fashion, starting from Jin Yu Zhai and then to Liuxiang Zhai, this popular element is essential. Jin Yu Zhai is famous for the release of new products every ten years, while Liuxiang Zhai is famous for the endless new fat powder.
For example, when there is a whole month before the Dragon Boat Festival, Huiya has already asked the people of the two shops to prepare the things to be sold during the Dragon Boat Festival. Jewelry with the theme of mugwort leaves, incense balls for smoking mugwort, various colored sachet grates, lipstick boxes made into small zongzi and even small toys, a large number of them have been made, which is very fun.
These things are fun and easy to sell, so that Jin Yuzhai and Liuxiangzhai have made a lot of money. But Huiya doesn't have such a good brain, so many ideas come up with one person, and these ideas are all thought up by gathering the strength of everyone.
Hui Ya calculated well in her heart, even if she was quick and had so much insight in her previous life, but after all, a person's strength was limited, so she mobilized the people around her to think of ideas together.
The people around Huiya, regardless of whether it is the mother in the yard or the family members of the guys in the shop, as long as they think of a good idea that can be sold for money, and it is adopted and sells well, they will get a reward ranging from one or two to dozens of taels according to their merits. There are also very big gains.
For example, the lipstick box in the shape of a small rice dumpling was proposed by a little girl in the courtyard of Huiya. Use gold or silver to create a small zongzi with the size of a thumb belly, hang it around the waist, and tie it to a handkerchief, which is beautiful and convenient.
The up-facing side can be gently opened, and it is filled with a bright and pure lipstick cream, and a special small brush, no matter where it is. If you want to touch up your makeup, you don't need to carry a large dresser. It's very convenient.
This zongzi lipstick box is made of small and exquisite, a small silver zongzi only costs two taels of silver, and the gold lipstick box is less than twenty taels. Huiya filled in all kinds of flavors and colors of lipstick. Some people bought a complete set of more than a dozen zongzi lipstick boxes as soon as they made a move, and the sales were very promising.
For this idea, Huiya rewarded the little girl with five taels of silver, and the little girl was so happy that she was going crazy. After all, a little girl who sprinkles and sweeps is worth only three or four taels of silver. The monthly money is only eight cents of silver, and if you want to save five taels of silver, you have to save for I don't know how many years.
With the successful case of the Dragon Boat Festival, it seems that there is still more than a month to go to Qixi Festival. Huiya is ready to make a good move on this Chinese Valentine's Day and take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
What Hui Ya thought in her heart was that when this Qixi Festival, there must be a lot of begging flower feasts. But anyone who wants to participate in the flower banquet is allowed to buy jewelry for the ladies and ladies. This is the opportunity for Jin Yu Zhai.
And Qixi Festival is at the right time, wearing needles and begging for skill, worshipping the Weaver Girl and worshiping Kuixing, making Qiaoguo and making flowers and melons are all essential, the spice incense burner when worshipping the Weaver Girl, the rouge gouache dressed up during the banquet, and the delicate gadgets in the shape of flowers and melons, Xu is also to make Liuxiangzhai make a fortune.
"Alas, it really fell into the eyes of money." In her room, Huiya pondered what to do for Tanabata, and at the same time carefully imagined the patterns of magpies and flowers and melons to be made into jewelry. The two small ideas sent by the girls were sorted out together and listed as entries for Huiya's reference.
On Huiya's desk was a plate of newly arrived green melons, exuding bursts of aroma, Huiya had an idea, dipped the paint with a slender brush, and painted it little by little. On the paper under her brushstrokes, a pattern of melons and melons appeared, but it was not just melons and fruits, but the melons were also embossed with the pattern of Fulu, which was extremely auspicious and festive.
After drawing this pattern, Huiya looked at the melon on the plate, and then looked at the appearance she had drawn, and her heart moved slightly.
At this moment, Gui Zhi came into the house lightly and replied that the Zheng family had an invitation.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Huiya heard that it was Zheng's invitation, so she hurriedly put down the things in her hand and went to the main room of Moxiangyuan. When I entered the room, I saw Zheng sitting at the table, looking at a red and gold-sprinkled invitation on the table with a smile on his face.
"Look at the invitation." Zheng's eyes lit up, and he took Hui Ya's hand and dragged her to him, "This is the post of the Qixi Festival Flower Banquet sent by the eldest princess's mansion, in previous years, people like us couldn't think of it, I didn't expect to win this year." ”
"The Eldest Princess's Mansion?" Hui Ya didn't have much knowledge in her previous life, and she didn't know about the eldest princess's mansion.
"It's the Eldest Princess's Mansion! This eldest princess is the sister-in-law of today's saint and the first among the ladies in the capital. Every year, the eldest princess's mansion will hold a begging flower banquet, and she will also choose a ranking to give a valuable prize to the talent. ”
"The color head is secondary, the key is the glory in the eyes of the eldest princess, no matter what kind of girl she is, as long as she wins the ranking at this begging flower banquet, the future marriage will be a few points higher." Zheng's eyes were shining, and he was obviously looking forward to this begging flower banquet.
"Mother, I'm not all engaged, why bother to be in the limelight again?" In Huiya's heart, the silver in her hand is more important, even if she is in the limelight in that begging flower banquet, can she still retire Qian Jingchen's family affairs now?
"You stupid girl, you want to go even more because you are married! The difference between our mansion and the Lu Guogong Mansion is not a star and a half, and my mother is afraid that you will be wronged if you marry in the past. If you can shine at this begging flower banquet and have the eldest princess as a backer, your life in the Lu Guogong Mansion will be much better in the future! Zheng reached out and patted Huiya on the head, looked at her indifferently, and glared at her.
"No matter what, you can put down the things next to me for more than a month, and concentrate on preparing for the begging flower banquet!" Zheng became serious, but he was really serious, and immediately gave Huiya a death order.
In the following time, all kinds of questions about the rules and regulations of the begging flower banquet in previous years were sent to Hui Ya's boudoir, and Hui Ya also began a hard preparation career. Make fruits, carved melons, paint, play the piano...... But everything that could be used at the begging flower banquet was arranged by the Zheng family, and Huiya was squeezed to the point that she had almost no time to go out to take care of her business.
