Chapter 153: The fugue is too empty
After working all night, I finally planted all the flowers, and when I came out of the space, I found that it was already dawn.
"Dad, mother, where have you been?" Nancy, the little guy, had been thinking about what his mother promised him before going to bed last night, and he was afraid that his mother would sneak away the next day, so he got up early to block Yang Xiuxiu.
"Xi'er, why did you get up so early?" Su Li still wondered if he could lie down, even if he couldn't lie down, it would be good to let him rest! But now that Ci'er is up, do they still have time to sleep?
"Dad, my mother said she was going to take me out for a walk today." It was because of this stubble that Nancy got up early.
"But you don't have to get up so early, do you?" At this hour, I guess there are not many people on the street now.
Yang Xiuxiu stayed up all night, and now she is tired, she originally promised Nancy that she should let go of this kind of flower, but there is a fire in her heart, and she has to finish it as soon as possible.
To put it bluntly, this competitive spirit is too strong, not to be outdone, and as a result, he hurt himself, right?
Looking at Yang Xiuxiu's tired face, Su Li had no choice but to say, "Xiuxiu, you go to lie down, I'll go make breakfast." Xi'er, shall we go out after breakfast? ”
"Su Li, you haven't slept all night!" Su Li feels sorry for her, doesn't she feel sorry for Su Li?
Yang Xiuxiu felt more and more that she had been underthinking about doing things recently, maybe her heart was too dry, she always thought that there were still a lot of things to arrange, and she always felt that there was not enough time. When a person is in a hurry, it is easy to get too strong.
It seems that we have to get rid of distractions. Calm your mind.
In the past, her favorite thing to do was to write plans, although many things and plans can't catch up with changes, but without a plan is equivalent to having no spectrum in her heart, and once there are more things, it is easy to mess up.
"Mother, go to sleep, I'll help Dad." Nancy thought that his mother was tired after being busy in the past few days, so his father let his mother rest more, so he offered to help Su Li work and leave time for Yang Xiuxiu to rest. Too sensible, okay?
"No, I don't. Doesn't Nancy like to eat her mother's tortillas the most? My mother will make porridge for you to eat in a while, and after eating, I will take you out with your father, okay? "Nancy can be so sensible, how can she sweep Nancy's interest?
"It's great, mother, I'm going to eat a big bowl. I have to eat a lot of porridge. "Nancy doesn't know what his dad and his mom did last night. I heard that her mother was going to cook him what she liked to eat. After eating, you can go out to play, and you can't be crazy with joy.
Only Su Li was full of worry on the side, "Xiuxiu." ”
"It's fine. Have you forgotten that we have a spiritual spring? Yang Xiuxiu gave Su Li a reassuring look, and then said, "You play with the child here, I'll cook." ”
Lingquan has always had a miraculous effect on relieving fatigue, and this time it came in handy. She and Su Li each had a big bowl, and after drinking it, they instantly woke up a lot, and they were originally sleepy as dogs, but now they don't have any sleepiness.
After breakfast, Yang Xiuxiu and Su Li took Nancy to the street as they said.
Children are active by nature and have a strong curiosity about new things, which is as good as Yang Xiuxiu's meeting when she first entered the city.
At first, it was okay, there were not many people around, so even if Nancy was bouncing, it was still within the controllable range of Yang Xiuxiu and Su Li, and when the time was getting closer and closer to noon, there were more people coming out of the street to move.
Therefore, for Nancy's safety, Su Li has been holding his little hand, for fear that he will be accidentally pushed or squeezed. Of course, it's not good if a child accidentally bumps into someone else.
After walking around for a long time, Yang Xiuxiu took Nancy all the things she had visited and those who had not been there. It wasn't until everyone was tired that they sat down in a small teahouse.
Yang Xiuxiu and Su Li are dressed as ordinary people today, sitting on the side with Nancy, that is, an ordinary family of three. I asked for some tea and snacks, and listened to the girls in the hall singing a little song, which was also relaxing.
Soon, after the song was finished, a storyteller came up, and the little guy had never seen such a person, but he was fascinated by it.
Unlike Nancy, who listened to it with relish, Yang Xiuxiu listened to it much more boring, that storyteller really didn't have any good stories, and they were all the kind of people who could guess the end after listening to the beginning.
As a result, the fugue became too empty.
The matter of flowers has been solved, and the next thing is the matter of customizing the box, as well as the 'membership card'. Of course, both of these things can be done together.
However, although there is a preliminary idea of a 'membership card', what materials should be used to make Yang Xiuxiu have not yet been decided.
In modern times, we have plastic cards, even cardboard. However, the cost of paper in this era is much more expensive, and the thickness is not enough.
So what should be used instead? Ceramics? It's not good, it's easy to break.
Yang Xiuxiu held her hands and held her cheeks in deep thought. Soon, she came up with a great idea. She saw that many rich people don't like to take jade pieces, jade pendants or something to hang around their waists?
Of course, she is not so extravagant, and the cost of the jade pendant is still a little higher for her. However, although jade is not used, bamboo is a good choice.
Look at those bamboo slips left over tens of thousands of years, don't future generations still see the same? This also shows that it is feasible to use bamboo as a 'membership card'. Moreover, she can also make this 'membership card' into a pendant and be worn by everyone.
Yang Xiuxiu instantly felt that she was too smart, how could this brain be so good?
So, he patted the table and said happily, "Su Li, I finally thought of it!" ”
She made such a loud noise regardless of the occasion, which must have attracted some side attention, but these are all small embarrassments, and Yang Xiuxiu stuck out her tongue and sold cute.
"What do you think of? Look at what makes you happy. Su Li didn't seem to be able to listen to this storyteller, but was more interested in Yang Xiuxiu's topic.
"I've got another great idea to make money." Yang Xiuxiu said proudly. "But we'll have to inquire later. Look where there is bamboo to cut. ”
When it comes to bamboo, there are many in Taoli Village, and they don't cost money. The bamboos in the back mountain are all native-born, and no one cares, and whoever lacks a penny to dry clothes will go there to cut one and drag it back.
It's just that she is in the provincial capital now, so she can't run back to Taoli Village to cut it because she wants a piece of bamboo, right? Of course, it's made from local sources.
After listening to the storyteller, Yang Xiuxiu took Nancy around the provincial capital again. But. This time it's not a place to pick a lot of people. Instead, I drilled a few alleys.
Sure enough, she found a small dirt slope where dozens of tall bamboos were planted.
After asking around, I found out that the bamboo here is also ownerless. Also. Bamboo is all too common in this day and age. Who would go out of their way to grow bamboo?
I found the materials. Yang Xiuxiu: This will finally be down-to-earth.
Stop and go, see a lot of places, and eat a lot of good food. finally fulfilled the little guy's wish to go around the provincial capital.
Finally, they came to the front of a academy, "Nancy, will you come to this academy to study in the future?" ”
This place is not far from the 'Laughing Spring Breeze', and I heard that the master inside is also a learned person, Yang Xiuxiu naturally took a fancy to this school, and was already thinking about when to send Nancy to school.
The school here can be transferred, probably because of the small number of students, as long as you can afford to pay the restraints, the master will accept you as a student.
"Qingfeng Academy." After all, Su Li is a scholar, and as soon as he stood at the gate of the academy, the arrogance and demeanor of the scholar were revealed. Standing upright, but upright.
"Mother, I want to go to school." Nancy also seemed to be satisfied with this Qingfeng Academy, so it was settled.
Soon, it's not too early. Yang Xiuxiu took a turn and took Nancy to a 'laughing spring breeze'.
As soon as Nancy arrived at 'Laughing Spring Breeze', she naturally had a tease to play with Liuyun and those guys. So, Yang Xiuxiu checked the inventory and sales on the side, and of course, the most important thing is the accounts.
Here, Yang Xiuxiu is crackling and calculating, looking at the accounts one by one. These accounts are all recorded by Hui Niang, of course, there are also early ones written by Su Li.
After comparison, the current business is okay, there are thirty or forty taels of silver per day, and sometimes the shopkeeper Zhou comes to get the goods, and the income will be more.
"Thirty, forty taels", Yang Xiuxiu said in pieces.
To be honest, she is not very satisfied with such a turnover, of course, it may seem to many people that it is already a lot of money. After all, in their provincial capital, the number of girls who can spare money to buy rouge gouache is still very limited.
Therefore, this made Yang Xiuxiu even more determined, and she must use marketing methods and do her best to open branches in other places. One day, she will drive the 'Laughing Spring Breeze' into the capital, and when the time comes, she will make money in the place where there are the most officials and nobles in the whole day, and that will be the coolest!
At that time, it can't be said to be making money, it should be collecting money.
However, Yang Xiuxiu knew that she couldn't be in a hurry.
If you open the store to the capital all of a sudden, with Yang Xiuxiu's domineering marketing model, it will definitely be untenable. The people there will not talk about any cooperation with Yang Xiuxiu like the fat powder shopkeeper in the provincial capital.
The more gold is everywhere, the more ferocious people become, and the fiercer the competition must be. Without some backing and strength, it will only be suppressed to pieces.
Self-aware about this, Yang Xiuxiu still has it.
If you don't have a backer, you have to have excellent strength, so that you can be invincible.
Speaking of backers, Yang Xiuxiu thought of Tu Shi'an again, if she arrived in the capital, would this guy be her backer? Anyway, she can't give up this line, and it feels like sooner or later it will still be useful.
After all, Tu Shi'an's identity is really a bit of a crazy Kuba, and if he can use it, he must use it.
With a lofty goal, Yang Xiuxiu began to struggle again.
Soon, the 'membership card' thing was messed up. Tang An's craftsmanship is really speechless, the carved things are lifelike, and there will be no difference between each 'membership card'. That is, there is no such thing as error.
However, for Yang Xiuxiu, who cut seven or eight bamboos with one brain, he had to make seven or eight hundred of the same small bamboo cards in one go, to be honest, Tang An refused at first. Moreover, the attitude is quite tough.
You say, is it necessary to make hundreds of identical bamboo plaques? This man either has a problem with his brain, or he is deliberately trying to tease him!
Craftsmen, especially those who have some accomplishments, have a great temper.
Yang Xiuxiu was stunned and said several times, and the drama of these three visits to the thatched house was exhausted, so she completely instilled her thoughts into Tang An.
Tang An finally knew that Yang Xiuxiu was not playing with him, but he still refused. Seven or eight hundred small bamboo cards, maybe more in the future, when does he have to do this job? After thinking about it, he still didn't make any good money.
But Yang Xiuxiu is entangled with him, who called his craftsmanship the best in the province, who is not looking for him? Moreover, Yang Xiuxiu had gone to see the samples he had carved before, and she was so shocked, it was even better than the master she was looking for to engrave the rouge gouache box, which made Yang Xiuxiu sigh, "Sure enough, there are people outside the world!" ’
has been pestered by all kinds for several days, Tang An can be regarded as seeing Yang Xiuxiu's 'sincerity', and he comes to the door with good wine and food every day, and he is really embarrassed to refuse after many times.
Don't say it, Tang An found that Yang Xiuxiu's cooking skills were really good, and every time he smelled the smell, he could hook up his gluttony. In the end, I really couldn't help but taste it, but I didn't expect to be trapped by Yang Xiuxiu.
"Hehe, Master Tang, you're really amazing, it's only been three days, and you've got more than a hundred for me? Wow, wow,......" Yang Xiuxiu exclaimed again and again while checking the goods one by one.
Although I have long known that Tang An's craftsmanship is excellent, it is still worth marveling at after getting the things I want in my hands and comparing them one by one! "Master Tang, you are really a genius, you are so good!"
In fact, Tang An is also twenty-nine years old, and he is not an old man. He can have such a craft, it is completely by talent, and now I am afraid that even the things carved by his master are not as good as him.
This is simply a realistic version of the church apprentice, starving to death of the master.
It is worth mentioning that the patterns in these 'membership cards' are made by Yang Xiuxiu herself, a cute version of the cat, plus a plum blossom, that's all.
That's her usual minimalist style.
As soon as these 'membership cards' were launched, they received a huge response.
Everyone has never heard of this kind of thing, after Yang Xiuxiu's popularization, everyone knows that it turns out that you only need to buy thirty taels of rouge to get a small bamboo card like this, and after having such a bamboo card, you can enjoy discounts when you buy rouge, and you can also participate in other activities.
Then, this bamboo brand was also made into a pendant style, and the pattern is very cute, and the carving is also of a first-class level, which greatly captures the psychology of consumers.
Soon, this month's sales jumped several times, and everyone either came for the discount; Either they came for the cute 'membership card', or they just spent money to have a good time.
But, this is all the same for Yang Xiuxiu, anyway, a lot of silver is in hand! Wow Ka Ka... (To be continued......)
