Chapter 53: Cottage Love
"Childe, how do you sell this handkerchief?" As she spoke, a girl picked up a handkerchief that was placed on another table and picked it up with great delight.
"This kind of trick, it's so cute, isn't it the kind of painting of Liu Mei'er in the Golden Courtyard?"
The girls took the handkerchief, and their eyes lit up.
"The price list is here, this is a peripheral product, this is a piece of silver, and the girls can take it and embroider it themselves. If you want me to embroider it, I want a piece of gold. "Que'er took out another price list and said the words 'peripheral products' very slippery.
Hehe, this little girl, she is really smart, as soon as I told her last night, she understood.
"A piece of silver, it's not expensive, I want one."
"I want it too."
After a while, the dozen handkerchiefs painted yesterday were sold.
The Oiran of Xinghualou walked down, didn't seem to be very interested in this handkerchief, and muttered: "Where is this Liu Mei'er's kind, Liu Mei'er is painted according to her appearance." ”
"There are also custom-made ones, then my son-in-law needs to draw according to the girl's appearance, in this case, just a trick will cost a gold coin. I suggest that the Oiran can customize some of these handkerchiefs and give them to repeat customers. ”
Hehe, this little girl, she still looks good when talking about business.
"Custom-made?" Upon hearing this, the Oiran became interested: "Then I want it, huh...... I want ten embroidered and twenty painted. How much? You do the math, and I'll give it to you. Anyway, I'm sure it's in the top five, if everyone else sends this to the guests, and I don't send it, wouldn't it be a joke? ”
After a while, pen and ink and handkerchiefs filled the table.
This is the first time that Xinghualou has been so lively early in the morning, and the money bag in the finch is full, full of clanging money.
"Childe, you're so amazing!" Walking out of Xinghualou, an hour had passed, and Que'er stuffed the money bag into her arms, hugged it carefully, and looked at Lin Jianqiu's eyes full of little stars.
Bending down to lift the curtain, the finch sat in the sedan chair.
"It's all small money." Lin Jianqiu smiled at Que'er across the sedan chair: "It's just a deposit for a few handkerchiefs, we have to spend money to hire people, hire a few embroidery girls, and hire a few scholars, otherwise we won't be busy." ”
The finch nodded vigorously in the sedan chair. Childe is so powerful, after such a short period of effort, he has the ability to hire people!
When the propaganda poster of Xinghualou was erected high at the gate of the courtyard, it aroused the onlookers of everyone, the discussion of peers, and the nodding of the son who ate flower wine to the ten oiran.
All this was within Lin Jianqiu's expectations.
After spending money to make an appointment with someone to repair the roof, and asking the sedan chair man to carry the finch and put it home, Lin Jianqiu went to the embroidery workshop to negotiate with someone about the embroidery processing of the handkerchief, and he took a detour to the market to buy a puppy and a kitten.
You have to get a yard, this dog guards the house, and the cat scratches it.
At noon, Lin Jianqiu and Que returned to the hut, and bought some food casually, and the laborer who repaired the house had already begun to work, and the laborer who repaired the fence would not come until an hour later, and estimated that the fence could be finished in the afternoon.
"Childe, since you have this money coming quickly, why don't you go to the street to buy one, or rent a room?" Lauf, who was repairing the roof, stopped for a sip of water and asked. Such a small dilapidated house is quite troublesome to repair, mainly because the area is really small.
"Yes, Childe, this place is a bit remote, and it's better to be in the street." The other laborer nodded again and again, stretched out his hand and knocked on the side of the bamboo house with a stick: "This piece has to be demolished, and it can indeed be done in an afternoon, but I think Gongzi has to expand the house a little, which is equivalent to building a new one." ”
Lin Jianqiu smiled faintly.
He squinted slightly, looked at the endless bamboo forest behind him, and then looked at the small and quiet river in front of him.
Lin Jianqiu didn't know how to describe the plot in his heart to this group of ancients.
It's the kind of life that goes to a place, looks for a forest hut, and slowly turns the home up to a better and better place, a dog and a cat, a yard and a house, and beautiful flowers, this kind of life is what he often fantasized about before.
What's good in the street?
Buying someone else's house, noisy around.
He rented a suite in the city, rented it for too long and for too long, and he was tired of it. Even if you buy such a good attic on the street, firstly, it is expensive now, and secondly, there is no such joy as a little bit of purchase.
Besides, this place is very helpful to the Lin Media he founded.
Facing the small river in front of the door, this place is the boundary of the people of the market, the place where every family must come every day, the source of life. Set up his Lin Media signboard here, which is the best advertising space.
Secondly, Lin Jianqiu had a bold idea: to run a magazine along the river.
Magazines are one by one, but one by one is convenient in modern times, after all, they can be printed. But in this ancient world, whether there was movable type printing in other places, Lin Jianqiu didn't know, at least not in this flower city.
If it is just to make billboards for the people of Hualou, Lin Jianqiu can write the manuscript, and the others will hire scholars to do it for him.
But if every household wants to do an interview, they want to be the same as Jin Manyuan, that kind of leaflet, a subscription is a few hundred. A lot of manpower is needed here, and the down-and-out scholars who are willing to come to work for Lin Jianqiu in this flower street can afford the huge orders.
These are all issues that Shopkeeper Lin needs to consider, and this issue is imminent.
It's the kind that you want to run a magazine, and it doesn't require that much manpower. Lin Jianqiu had an idea in his heart, he took a fancy to this area, which others felt was very remote, but as a media person, it was the best place for publicity.
There is the love of the hut, and it is the best place for the career.
This is the place where Lin Jianqiu's dream began.
"That's it, first repair this house to make it habitable, and when you earn enough money in a few days, then build another big one next to this house." Lin Jianqiu laughed, not far away, the finch was boiling water outside.
This small bamboo house is so small that it can only be used in the wild for cooking or something.
"But the girl can't bathe or anything, she has to be in the wild, it's very inconvenient." Rauf reminded.
At this time, Que'er came over, she was still wearing a skirt full of gold, Lin Jianqiu asked her to change into a new one when she returned to the hut, but the little girl was reluctant, saying that she had to work anyway, for fear of soiling the new clothes.
"It's okay, the finches won't feel inconvenient." The finch shook her head and looked into the room with a smile.
In the room, a small bamboo bed has been placed, although it is still not big, and two people have to live together. But there was a new bed, a new table, and a bamboo cabinet. This has exceeded the finches' expectations, and far exceeded.
Lin Jianqiu thought for a while and said seriously: "I like this, but if you are not used to living, you can go to the street to live first, and I will open a room for you to go to the inn." ”
Finch'er shook her head firmly: "Que'er thinks that the most comfortable place is by Childe's side, and where Childe lives, Que'er will live." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Lin Jianqiu only felt warm in his heart, and the two laborers laughed out loud and quipped: "Lin Gongzi, why do you have to wait until Ming'er has a bridal dress on the night of candles in this cave room?" Who doesn't know that this girl is yours or not? ”
"That's it! Lin Gongzi threw out so much money to renovate such a house, and the people in the flower street spread it all over! Who doesn't know that this girl belongs to Lin Gongzi's family? ”
The finch blushed and quickly turned around and ran to the campfire where the water was boiling.
"Girl, you have to hurry up, you will serve Lin Gongzi well tonight! Give your son a branch and give birth to a few big fat boys, this is what you should do! A lauder shouted at the finch.
Hahahaha, everyone laughed.
"Okay! gave birth to a big fat boy, invite the two old brothers to come over for a drink! Lin Jianqiu was not ambiguous, and arched his hand generously.
This is his mother-in-law, why are you embarrassed?
The finch's face grew redder.
