Chapter 37 Incense Trace Fang
It was really a very correct decision to hand over the construction of the workshop to Lao Chen. In just five days, a workshop that made Chu Yun extremely satisfied had already been built. When it comes to building houses, all the men in this village are experts, and even the houses they currently live in have all been built by themselves.
Now that the workshop is complete, it is now possible to start producing a new batch of toilet water as soon as the raw materials are sourced. Before this, Chu Yun used all the money saved by renting the shop to decorate the shop.
The floor is uniformly paved with wooden floors, and the counters, tables, chairs, etc. are also newly customized, and on the walls around the counter, Chu Yun personally painted several landscape figure paintings, of course, all of which are three-dimensional paintings, lifelike, making people look at them as if they are about to sink in. If someone walks into a store, they will be struck by these paintings at first sight.
Since it was decided to take the high-end route from the beginning, it was not possible to save money in these places, even the porcelain vases that hold the flower water must be very exquisite, and when they were purchased, they also spent a lot of money.
Chu Yun watched the silver go out like flowing water, and often saw Lao Chen's face showing a painful look, if this business was lost, the dream of a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine would never be realized again. It is very likely that you will have to go back to two months ago overnight and continue to live a life of eating dirt.
After all, the shares of this flower water have their own share, although I don't know what "shares" are, but my uncle said that there is his own share of the money made by flower water, and Lao Chen can still understand it. "Uncle, have you thought of the name of the shop?" Lao Chen knew that making money was not something he was good at, so he changed the topic and said.
"This matter needs to be considered again." Chu Yun shook his head slightly and said. The name of this shop is a signboard, but once it is decided, it cannot be changed, and you can't make a decision easily. Now, all the preparations are in place, and everything is ready, except for the name of the store.
"How about calling it Liushenfang?" Chu Yun raised his head, intending to ask for everyone's opinions. Lao Chen's face darkened a little, and he really couldn't understand that his uncle was fond of the name "Six Gods". Why is this~~?
The little maid Yu'er stood next to Chu Yun, and when she saw the young lady opposite giving her a look, she immediately spoke: "Uncle, I think it's better to call it "Fragrance Trace Fang". "Incense Marks? βγ Chu Yun looked at the willow incense marks on the opposite side, Chu Yun thought about it slightly, and happily decided, so he named it after his own lady, the name of "Xiangzi Fang" is very poetic, not bad.
Lao Chen nodded slightly, looked at Chu Yun seriously and said: "Uncle, I think the name of Xiangjifang is very good, since we sell flower water, this thing Uncle said that it still has a fragrance, then the name of the store naturally has to match, I think there is no more suitable name than Xiangjianfang." β
"The concubine also thinks that it's better to call it Xiangjifang~~." Liu Xiangchen said with a happy smile. In order to fully promote democracy, the name of the store was decided.
On the same day, he and Lao Chen made a plaque in the city of Sujiang Mansion, and in order to further improve the style, Chu Yun personally inscribed the three words "incense", "traces" and "fang" in Yan style.
Of course, he can't reach the realm of Yan Zhenqing, but copying his appearance is enough to scare many people. At least the shopkeeper who made the plaque was frightened by this strong and round and majestic regular script.
Running this ancestral shop for decades, making countless plaques, there are not a few famous masterpieces that have been seen, under the influence of the ears and eyes, even though the shopkeeper's pen work is not very profound, but when it comes to this appreciation, few people can compare. There are only three words, which shows the depth of the skills of the person who writes, and without decades of hard work, I am afraid it will not be able to achieve it.
This kind of skill is probably comparable to several calligraphers in the world. However, who is not the one who has achieved what he is today after decades of accumulation. If it weren't for the scholar writing in front of his eyes, he would not have believed that such a wonderful calligraphy could have come from the hand of such a young man.
Regarding the shopkeeper's shocked expression, Chu Yun was not surprised in his heart.
That's a generation of regular script sage, Yan Zhenqing, who influenced Chinese calligraphy, the so-called 'Yan muscles and willow bones", his old man's words, can they be ordinary? Of course, Chu Yun was still very happy in his heart about the shopkeeper's insistence on not accepting his own money.
Now is the time when the career is just starting, if you can save it, the great sage of regular script really deserves its name, looking at the shopkeeper holding the piece of paper like a treasure, Chu Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When the new store opened, it was supposed to be done for publicity, marketing and the like, but Chu Yun was not in a hurry to do this, and he still had some confidence in his heart about the flower water. However, this self-confidence was shaken a lot on the first day of the store's opening.
For half a day, not even a bottle of toilet water was sold, but a few people entered the store to take a look, but when they heard that such a small bottle of "flower water" would be sold for one or two silver, they immediately fled and retreated without waiting for Chu Yun to introduce the function of flower water.
"Could it be that I set the price too high?" After half a day, even Chu Yun couldn't help but start to doubt it like this. One or two pieces of silver, for most people in Fucheng, that is not a small amount, although it is not impossible to take it out, but it will not be extravagant enough to buy such a bottle of things that I don't know what to do.
"Where are the local tyrantsγγγγγγ Chu Yun sat at the counter depressedly, and when he saw that there were only two people in the entire shop, he and the little maid Yu'er, he couldn't help but start calling in his heart.
The little maid Yu'er sat at the table boredly with her chin in one hand, her eyes fixed on the door, bored looking at passers-by, at a certain moment, the two figures stopped in front of the door for a moment, and then walked in. The little maid Yu'er came back to her senses, immediately got up from her chair, and trotted all the way over.
"Two beautiful young ladies, welcome to the Fragrance Workshop!" Yu'er Shi Shiran saluted and said in a crisp voice. "Welcome..." The two young women obviously heard this welcome for the first time, their expressions were slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise appeared on their pretty faces.
In the world full of "guest officials please", "guest officials eat", "guest officials order" words, this shop that does not know what it sells for the time being, the pretty little girl's sentence of "welcome" is extremely fresh and refined.
The attitude of the little maid Yu'er made them feel more comfortable, but as soon as they walked into the store, their mood was inexplicably comfortable. When I passed by the street, I found that there was a new store called "Xiangjifang" here, and I couldn't tell what was sold from the name of the store, but the three words on the store plaque looked very stylish, very good, and compared with other shops along the street, it was like standing out from the crowd.
This made the two pretty women feel a little curious in their hearts, and they involuntarily walked in. However, this different little maid is only second, when the two girls raised their heads and glanced at the store, their delicate bodies couldn't help but shake slightly, and one of the women even covered her small mouth and almost exhaled softly.
I saw that there were many paintings hanging on the walls around the shop, and it was amazing that in those scrolls, whether it was landscapes or figures, they all seemed to be about to break out of the scrolls.
First the elegant calligraphy, and now the sight of this extremely strange picture scroll, made the two women feel a great curiosity about this shop. "Young ladies and young ladies please be seated."
The voice of the little maid Yu'er was soft, and the two pretty women walked to the table and chairs on the side of the store, both the ground and the tables and chairs were spotless.
After walking into the store, whether it is the environment here or the attitude of the little maid, they feel just right, neither there is a sense of neglect, nor boredom, quiet and comfortable, there seems to be a unique fragrance in the air, which makes people feel refreshed.
Following the smell, the eyes of the two quickly focused on a fine porcelain vase on the table.
