Chapter 17: Flower Bunches

"This white magnolia flower, my mother remembers going to my grandmother's house in Jiangnan when I was a child, but I saw that they would use needles and threads to make a bracelet and wear it on their wrists, and the fragrance can be maintained for two or three days. As for this jasmine, maybe you can try to make it look like a handpick! Bai Yao took a closer look at the jasmine and magnolia flowers picked by Bai Qingshuang, and found that the flower stalks she kept were relatively long.

"Huh? My mother also knows! Bai Qingshuang's eyes lit up, that's what she meant.

In my previous life, when I traveled to Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, I saw some old grandmothers stringing magnolia flowers into handbags or corsages to sell.

In this era, it is certainly not possible for them to pin white flowers to their chests, but it is definitely still possible to wear them on their wrists, which is the business opportunity she thought of after seeing the magnolia flowers and jasmine in Wanniang's courtyard.

"Hmmm! I'll give it a try! After having done the work that he was good at, Bai Yao's family immediately became motivated, went back to the room to get a needle and thread, and after tidying up the corners of the quilt for his son who kicked off the quilt, he returned to Bai Qingshuang's small ear room.

Bai Qingshuang also learned from Bai Yao's to hold the needle and thread for a while at the beginning, but he either pricked his hand or broke the flower stalk, and then simply stopped, so as not to harm the flowers again, and only picked up the same size for Bai Yao's on the side.

Bai Yao's hands and feet were neat, and he wore twenty-six magnolia flower bracelets with just one cup of tea.

Then he taught Bai Qingshuang to weave jasmine bracelets like tassels.

Although this is a little more difficult to learn than needlework, at least it is not a needle and thread, and she is not afraid of pricking her hands, although she wasted more than a dozen small flowers, but she finally learned it.

As a beginner, Bai Yao knitted thirty, and she knitted three of them, which is a good result.

"Mother, I'll go sell it first and see if I can sell it for money!" While the flowers were still fresh, Bai Qingshuang went out with a total of fifty-nine handsmiths.

She is not a person who eats alone, so she went to Wan Niang's house first and negotiated the price with Wan Niang, after all, she is a newcomer, and the original owner is a standard housemaid, and she knows nothing about the market on the market.

"Sister Frost, I didn't expect you to come up with this good idea!" And Wan Niang saw the white magnolia flower hand and jasmine hand displayed by Bai Qingshuang, she was really surprised, "Although these white flowers have a rich fragrance, they are also very petite and cute, but because of the regulations of the dynasty, if there is no white thing at home, it is not possible to put white flowers on the head, therefore, in order to sell flowers to make money, people will never spend their efforts to plant such small white flowers, but I didn't expect you to come up with such a way, and you will not live up to the jasmine and magnolia flowers that bloom here." ”

It is still the rule of this dynasty that Bai Qingshuang is not allowed to dare to love hairpins on his head, Bai Qingshuang doesn't know if he is happy because of his mistake, or because Wan Niang said that other people's families do not plant white flowers and see the hope of making money.

Scarcity is precious, at least this year and next year, she and Wanniang can rely on these little white flowers to make a surprise success.

"Sister Wan, how much price do you think we can sell this flower string?"

"Rare is expensive, we are the first to wear it on the wrist, smell the fragrance and decorate, the price is too low to show the precious, and this also needs manual processing, sewing and weaving, and it is necessary to remove a little loss! Therefore, the price may as well be a little more expensive! Wan Niang is really a bit business-minded, and she soon has the consciousness of making money.

And Bai Qingshuang thought about the few flowers she wasted, she was really a little ashamed, the price of female redness is not good!

And she also thinks that only by winning by surprise and embodying rarity can she earn silver, so she might as well seize the opportunity first. Regardless of next year's market, they can at least make a profit this year, because these plants in Wan Niang's courtyard are really good.

After counting carefully, the magnolia flowers are eight for a bunch, and the jasmine flowers are ten for a bunch, Wan Niang looked at the sewing and weaving handiwork again and said: "The magnolia flowers are sewn with needles and threads, this method is simpler, so it is more appropriate for us to set the price at fifteen wen a string." As for the weaving technique of this jasmine, it is relatively rare, beautiful, and it is extremely rare to look at, I don't think ordinary people can learn it by taking it apart, and it is not easy to disperse, plus the fragrance of jasmine is more elegant than magnolia, how about we set this price at 25 Wen? ”

"What my sister said is very true!" Bai Qingshuang couldn't help but glance at Wan Niang with admiration, if this woman was placed in her previous life and worked in a beauty salon, she would definitely be the sales performance champion, and she could grasp the focus and selling point of the product, "It's just that this price is much more expensive than a single flower for a penny, and ordinary people may not necessarily buy it even if they like it, so we have to make a strategy." ”

Of course, as a sales elite in her previous life, she can still add a little more.

"For example, the objects of selling flowers, I think we can properly screen them, and sell them to the daughters of rich and noble families who are relatively rich and like to show off?" The price has increased, so we must also improve the level of service, so that others will not look down on these little white flowers.

"Sister, that's a great idea!" Wan Niang understood it at one point, and immediately understood what Bai Qingshuang meant, "Ordinary women, even if they buy flowers to wear, they are not necessary to buy every day." It is necessary to decorate yourself a little on some important days, or when visiting relatives and friends, or meeting with girls and daughters-in-law of the same age, in order not to fall behind and add to your tongue. Usually I feel very distressed to spend a penny, and it is absolutely impossible to spend more than ten or twenty dollars to decorate myself at once, so I started to pack up my things excitedly. ”

"Yes, Sister Wan, that's what I thought, it's to ask if there is even a problem with food and clothing, where is there any spare money to spend. And instead of walking around the street and giving others the opportunity to learn, it is better for us to use it first to make more money! "A businessman who doesn't want to make a lot of money is not a good businessman.

"Sister Frost, sister understands!" Wan Niang also quickly filtered the latest business opportunity route in her mind, and soon had a goal, "Let's go, my sister will take you to a place, and make sure that these flower strings can be sold out today!" ”

The word sold out was too attractive, and Bai Qingshuang immediately felt that his whole body was full of energy.

"Xiaodou, obediently watch the house at home, and accompany grandma, mother and aunt to go out!" Wan Niang quickly sorted out some things, went to the east room to say hello to her mother-in-law, and then pulled Bai Qingshuang straight to her destination. **Dear friends! A Ran with frost wishes everyone a happy New Year's Day 2015! New Year, New Weather! All wishes come true!
