Chapter 80: Want to Get Married?
Xu Shu staggered back home, and as soon as he entered, he saw that his mother-in-law was waiting for him, "I'm still worried about why you came back so late." As a result, he drank again. Gently prepared warm water to wash her husband's face, and complained at the same time.
'Happy. I went to Longhua Temple today to listen to an old friend, he used to listen to others, but I didn't expect to say it myself. Of course, I have to go and cheer him up. Xu Shu took down the things that he had originally carried on his back.
Then they went for a drink. Do you know? It turns out that there was also a Xu Shu in the Three Kingdoms, and I don't know if the eldest brother called me Xu Shu because of this. In this sentence, the eldest brother is not the elder brother, but the father.
In the Tang people's titles, the elder brother can be called father, and he can also be called the elder brother. Tang Taizong wrote a letter to Li Zhide, in which he claimed to be his brother. Then Xuanzong also called himself eldest brother in public, and called him eldest brother. It is correct to call one's own brother, it should be ranked, and add the title of brother (brother).
'Ayah, did you buy it?' Did you buy it? At this time, Xu Shude's eldest son ran out and grabbed Xu Shu's hand and shook it.
'Bought it, bought you your favorite image of Monkey King.' Xu Shu bundled a roll of things in his hand and handed it to his son.
'Wow! It's the Monkey King. The child spread out the paper in his hand, and a vivid Sun Wukong appeared on the paper, stepping on somersault clouds, holding a golden hoop stick, and looking like he was going anywhere.
"Big brother, this is Sun Wukong, where is he going?" ''Stupid, he must be going to save his master again.'' After speaking, he spread out another piece of paper, "Wow! This is Sun Wukong vs. Yang Erlang, and there is a howling dog next to it. There are a lot of heavenly soldiers and generals next to him, this tower must be Li Jing, and the wheel next to him must be Nezha. ’
You spend money on these things for your children, and when the year is over, you have to buy a lot of things. "Hey, there's not much money here, so I'm happy for my child." He was embarrassed to say that he bought more by himself, Taoyuan Sanjieyi, Yun Changwen Wine Killing Huaxiong, and Sanying Zhan Lu Bu, he bought them all.
By the way, I bought this too. Xu Shu handed out the remaining two pieces of paper in his hand, "I saw that the peach talismans on the door are old, and it is time to replace them with new ones." ’
'Didn't you tell you you're buying it next year?' This thing...,' the gentle housewife was a little angry, 'this thing is expensive.' Spend so much money to buy it, and the old one can still be used. I'll take it off tomorrow and repaint it red, otherwise I'll pick it up and buy two pieces of red paper. ’
How could these two pieces of paper provoke a housewife to be furious? Because these are two beautiful statues of the gods of the gate. I think I've said it, but I'll mention it again. In the earliest days of the Tang Dynasty, peach charms were pasted, and the peach trees were cut into pieces and then painted red. It will write "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei".
In the Middle Tang Dynasty, because the royal family had to promote, it slowly became the door god, Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde. Drawings also slowly appeared. And the two in the housewife's hand are extremely exquisite, and they will be very expensive if they are thought to be, and the printing technology of the Tang Dynasty is not yet developed.
'It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's just ten cents.' It's cheap. After knowing why his wife was angry, Xu Shu hurriedly explained, "This is selling well, I finally got it." Xu Shu explained to his wife.
On the day of Laba, Li Chen took out his money-making weapon for the first time. On the spot, the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West related peripherals were sold, with a pair of beautifully printed patterns, which contained many highlights of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West. What are the scenarios, which were mentioned earlier.
It caused a rush to buy on the spot, and nearly 100 copies were sold in this way. Others are suffocating because they don't have enough money to buy it.
Of course, Wang Xianyan, who spoke in Longhua Temple, also brought it to sell. He also got a share of the money from the sale, and although he didn't like the money himself, he liked the pictures very much. I bought a few of them myself.
After the end of the day, Li Chen counted it, and even Longhua Temple sold a total of more than 200 pieces together, and Longhua Temple had a good business, with a total net profit of about 1,500 Wen.
Whether it is the door god or the Three Kingdoms or Journey to the West, one sells for ten cents. In terms of cost, 100 sheets of paper are 60 wen. As a result, printing is still relatively expensive..., 100 sheets cost more than 100 words.
Calculated in this way, if ten wen is sold, a profit can be about seven cents. It's just a huge profit. Even if you make so much money, it is still in short supply. Because the pattern is exquisite and the price is not expensive, this is much cheaper than the general market to sell the door god picture.
Of course, it will be cheaper, because Li Chen spent a lot of time, invited the craftsman to engrave the pattern of the door god on the board, and then through the introduction of Master Zou through the engraving, he found a printing factory, and the door god printed thousands of sheets. People are still drawing by hand, how can it be compared to printing.
And because of the large number of printing, Li Chen lowered the price of paper a lot. As for printing, it can't be helped, it was still a 'high-tech industry' in the Tang Dynasty.
So that's your gift. Xiaohong took a Journey to the West drawing in her hand and looked left and right.
'Sister Xiaohong, this is more profitable than our hard performance. The big head said on the side, "I said that we will sell this in the future, but Uncle said that the department." ''Little Nizi, you still sue.'' Li Chen tapped her on the head, "If you don't listen to Journey to the West and the Three Kingdoms, who will spend ten cents to buy this." ’
You're in a good mind to think of this method, but I'm worried that after a long time, if someone else says it, your livelihood will be affected. Xiaohong praised Li Chen once.
'Do you want to sell this too, this one has a lot of prints.' I'm going to sell these before the Chinese New Year, and the sooner the better. Li Chen asked, "What do you say about us?" But we didn't speak, so how could anyone buy it? ’
'Don't sell the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West, this can be sold slowly, can the Yang family help sell the door god?' One sells for ten wen, I'll give you seven, and you can earn three wen by selling one alone. ’
Well, but can't you sell it yourself? ''Small profits, quick turnover. That's right, Li Chen doesn't plan to sell it himself, but also find a way to find someone to consign. Even if Xiaohong didn't come today, he would go to the street to see if there were any merchants willing to sell on consignment, and if they were willing to buy out directly, Li Chen even planned to sell it for six or five yuan.
The truth is very simple and not complicated, and modern people understand it. One is small profits but quick turnover, sell more and produce more, and the price can be lowered. Besides, this kind of thing has no technical content, and by next year, I'm afraid there will be a lot of it on the market. So, earn as much as you can this year. Make a little profit to earn.
I'm going back and ask my wife. Let's not talk about this for now, is the cloth bought? 'Bought it, it's all here.' 'Okay, who's going to come first today.' Little Red smiled and asked, "Me." ''I, I'll come first. I'll go first. A few little scrambles.
Today, Xiaohong came to help make clothes, and for the New Year, she had to prepare a new set of clothes for the child. Li Chen bought a sheepskin, which was to make a jacket. Sheepskin was the most affordable leather in the Tang Dynasty, and the rich people wore leopard skin, fox skin, and mink skin.
However, Li Chen felt that the sheepskin was very good. In modern times, sheepskin is also very good, and the leather clothes made of sheepskin are already high-end goods. More often than not, people still wear chemical leather. Li Chen remembered that his sister once went to Australia for a study tour, and when she came back, she bought him a leather coat.
My sister said it was leather, or she thought it was leather, but it didn't take long for the paint to fall off, revealing the cloth inside. He thought, his sister probably couldn't have imagined that a country with more sheep than people would actually use fake leather to mix real leather.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was much happier than modern people, and there was no need to worry about wearing fake leather. Well, in this era, if you can make chemical skin, maybe you can sell it more high-end than the regular skin...
'Ahem! Hmm~Hmph~', when the children were scrambling, Li Chenchen covered his face and coughed lightly, and the children suddenly quieted down, "What are you doing, who are you scaring about?" Little Red was upset.
'Say, children, who should come first?' ', Seven Little You Look at Me I Look at You, the youngest has Ergou said, 'Let Xiaohu go first, he is old, he is the eldest brother.' Let him go first. ''No, you should let Ergou go first, he's the youngest.'' ''You first. ''You're the first.'' ’
None of them are right. From just now when you were fighting for me to you pushing me to let me go, Li Chen spoke up, "Sister Xiaohong will definitely help you all measure up, and you should line up first at this time." And then we give in to each other. ’
What does it matter, children are energetic like this. "No, I'm going to teach them basic manners, they can be illiterate, but they can't lose their manners." This is the basic form of being a human being. ’
Li Chen remembers that on many occasions in modern times, children are often seen crying or scurrying around, even in some exhibition venues. Otherwise, it's loud noise. These are all manifestations of impoliteness or lack of tutoring. Teach children basic manners, in fact, try to teach children how to behave, a person who does not know how to be a man, who is self-centered, even if you are talented, will not succeed.
Many parents don't care at all, they spoil their children, and when others correct them, they turn around and scold that person. You don't love him, you hurt him. Such a person is annoying wherever he goes, and you have the ability to protect him for a lifetime. And then one day you're gone, take it with you.
I can't say anything about you. Ignore you. The little red head twisted, turned around and measured the child's size. Li Chen touched his nose, as if he had offended Xiaohong. Well, maybe I think we are reasonable, but I'm embarrassed to agree, tsundere? Which one is it, Li Chen was confused.
In the evening, Li Chen sent Xiaohong back, "In a few days, I will measure the size and help to do it in a hurry." It may be a little later. The rest of the family should do the same. Fortunately, it's not me, and Green Lotus will also help. Yang Erjia recently bought a few more people back, and Li Chen has never seen them. Guess this green lotus is also one of them.
Xiaohong turned his head to enter, and before parting, Li Chen's heart suddenly became hot, and he blurted out a sentence, "Xiaohong, will you marry me?" ’
