When Xiao Niang first started, she was very unhappy with Liu Yuan taking such valuable jewelry to make color heads, thinking that it was a loser, and the most reluctant thing was still the jewelry of butterfly love flowers, but I didn't expect that the effect of this method was so good.

Those ordinary jewelry that are cheaper are not enough to sell, and the expensive jewelry that costs thirty or fifty taels sells twelve pieces a day at most, making a net profit of more than three hundred taels.

More than 300 taels, an ordinary small shop can earn ten taels a month, it is good, a day to earn more than 300 taels, equal to a small shop for three years of profits, that night, the little lady is holding the silver box to sleep, or the first time insomnia.

It turned out that Liu Yuan said that he would be the leading industry leader in Datang within seven years, and Xiaoniang thought that Liu Yuan was just comforting herself and talking empty words, but now it seems that this Senior Brother Liu still knows it in his heart.

Now Liu Yuan, can be said to be painful and happy, happy is that the popularity of the Jin Yu family is getting higher and higher, the business is getting better and better, with more and more people reciting, come here to the pair, appreciate the jewelry people in an endless stream, the original only belonged to the third-rate Jin Yu family suddenly became famous, and became a first-class well-known gold shop in Yangzhou.

And Liu Yuan's most painful thing is that the entire Jinyu family is making jewelry by himself, there is no helper, everything is done by himself, he is the shopkeeper during the day, and he has to be an apprentice technician at night.

Liu Yuan discussed with Xiao Niang, looking for an opportunity to buy a few ingenious children to come back for training, firstly, Liu Yuan did not have to worry about the leakage of his skills, so that he could maintain his leading position in Datang, and secondly, there was an incident of Li Fang and Zhao Yuan killing the teacher, and Xiao Niang was also very opposed to accepting apprentices.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was legal to buy and sell slaves, the children of poor families, prisoners of war when the territory was expanded, Silla maids, Kunlun slaves, etc., everything, buying a few slaves, it was not a big deal, after buying, there was also the approval of the government, and if you dare to escape, you can kill your head, but you don't have much time to buy it recently.

No, just after a break, the chairs were not yet hot, and a young couple followed in one after another.

"Two guest officers, please look at it casually, the quality of the jewelry of our Jinyu family is first-class." Xiaoniang is a woman, although she was born in a business family, but it is still not suitable for showing her head, so the responsibility of taking over naturally falls on Liu Yuan's head.

Of course, Liu Yuan is not willing to let the woman he has set in him show his head, at this time, he is still powerless, and it is very dangerous to meet some kind of gentleman, like a little girl like a flower.

"The shopkeeper is polite, my friend said that the jewelry of the Jinyu family is unique, so I specially came to choose it." That boy has a very good attitude, at least not as high as a scholar who has the same high eyes as a businessman.

It is not his turn to be over-the-top, the people of the whole Yangzhou know that the pair of scholars who are hung at the door and stump the entire Yangzhou scholar is from the hand of the unknown shopkeeper Liu in front of him, inadvertently, Liu Yuan's reputation has also spread among the scholars, and it is also a great reputation, and everyone will respect it for those who are knowledgeable.

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Those are all false names, false names, as long as the two of them pick their favorites." ”

No matter what dynasty, jewelry is the favorite of girls, just when Liu Yuan greeted a son, the woman's eyes lit up and pointed to one of the pieces of jewelry and asked, "Shopkeeper, can I see this piece of jewelry?" ”

"Absolutely." Liu Yuan took a piece of jewelry from the cabinet and put it on the counter, and said with a smile: "This lady has good eyesight, and this rain orchid is also a rare boutique." ”

"Listen to the rain orchid? This name is so good, shopkeeper, why did you choose such a name? "That lady is obviously a well-read lady, and when she hears the name, she feels full of poetry.

Liu Yuan picked up the jewelry and patiently explained: "Madam, you see, this jewelry is a hairpin, the hairpin is a well-crafted orchid, lifelike, below the orchid, there are eighteen hollow trinkets like raindrops, which are added with a special technique like a small silver needle like a drum hammer, when shaken, the silver needle will collide with the hollow ornaments, making a pleasant crisp sound, it can also be said to be a different kind of small wind chime, no matter who wears it on the head, between a swaying and a swaying, accompanied by a crisp sound, Very compelling for sure. ”

After speaking, Liu Yuan shook the hairpin in his hand gently, "Bell ~~ Bell ~ Bell ~~ Bell ~~~", the ornament immediately emitted a crisp and charming sound, crisp and pleasant, making people feel bright.

The handicraft industry in the Tang Dynasty is not yet developed, like luxury goods, it is just budding, those styles are more conservative, either peony, or auspicious things, in the degree of exquisiteness of the discount, in terms of innovation is a mess, in so many ordinary products, suddenly appeared such a beautiful work that makes the heart intoxicated, that is absolutely eye-catching.

Flowers made of gold, raindrops of white silver and inlaid with turquoise, the shape and handiwork alone are very pleasing, coupled with the touching crisp sound, it is simply the icing on the cake, the eyes of the lady, like a little lady, straight to the stars.

"It's really special~~"

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Of course, as long as you buy this hairpin, it is definitely unique to Datang." ”

"For what?"

"It's very simple, only I understand this craft, have you seen it, the jewelry in the counter of our store, each kind is only one piece, as long as you buy it, then congratulations, except for you, no one can wear the same style of hairpin."

At this time, the boy spoke: "So that's the case, I have a relative who said that he wants you to recreate a piece and the one in the color head called Butterfly~~"

"Butterfly loves flowers," Liu Yuan prompted.

"Yes, yes, it's the same style of jewelry that Butterfly Love, he paid a high price for the shopkeeper to build, but you just don't agree, it turns out that this is the truth, unique, wonderful, wonderful." The young boy couldn't help but admire.

Liu Yuan knew what he said, many people liked that style, many people knew that he didn't have a chance to get the color head, so he proposed a high price for Liu Yuan to build more, and then it seemed that the Oiran called Du Alkali Niang said that whoever gave her "Butterfly Love Flower" could spend the Spring Festival with her, which attracted many lustful people to do everything possible to get it, but Liu Yuan refused all for the charm of the color head.

Of course, there are many people who want to steal the teacher, not to mention anything else, that is, Jin Yuzhai next to it, those senior old technicians always stand in front of the jewelry and observe for an unknown amount of time.

In order to imitate myself, it seems that there is no sound after the worst, so I guess I will give up.

"Shopkeeper, I like this hairpin, I don't know how much it costs?" The lady asked softly.

After talking about it for so long, I finally got to the point.

Liu Yuan pointed to one and said with a smile: "It's not expensive, fifty taels, I won't bargain." ”

"What? Fifty taels? It's ~~~ a bit expensive. The young man's face changed suddenly.

Ordinary jewelry, that is, three or five taels, put on the street stall, a few hundred dollars can buy a good first item, fifty taels, that is a family of three years for a few years, an ordinary guy, do not eat or drink to save a few years to afford it.

"I know the son's discerning eyes, I can see the difference between good and average, if you want to be cheap~~" Liu Yuan pointed to the side and said: "Jin Yuzhai is good, good quality and low price, I guarantee that you will pick your favorite." ”

"Xianggong, I'm going to do this, it's a big deal, I won't buy other jewelry this year, and I won't make new clothes." The lady gently tugged at her husband's clothes and said softly.

Liu Yuan's words were tactful, but he implied that he couldn't afford these good things, so he moved to the side, which was cheap.

After Liu Yuan's tactful "squeeze", as well as the lady's request, the boy became angry all of a sudden, took out an ingots from his sleeve and put it on the counter with a "pop", and said arrogantly: "Who said I don't want it, it's not good, I don't buy it if it's not expensive, as long as my lady likes it, the shopkeeper, wrap it up for me." ”

As soon as the ingots fell off the counter, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, the golden one was a gold ingot weighing five taels, and when he got it in his hand, he looked at it, it was heavy, the color was bright and golden, and there was a shallow scratch with a fingernail, which was a first-class gold ingot.

In the Tang Dynasty, one tael of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver, one hundred wen was equal to one penny of silver, one thousand wen was consistent, the consistent value was one tael of silver, and five taels of gold ingots were just fifty taels of silver.

"Yes, yes, yes, this son is arrogant, seeing you two talented women, loving and loving, it is really enviable, son, Mrs., please wait, I will use a high-quality wooden box to help you wrap it." Liu Yuan immediately put on an amiable smile, and then found a beautiful box to help them pack it.

After the two left, Liu Yuan had a heavy gold ingot in his hand.

"Peng~~Peng~~Bell~~" Liu Yuan was about to give the gold ingots to the little money fan who was hiding on the side, when he suddenly heard the sound of someone beating gongs and drums, as if someone was shouting something, and then the people on the street were rushing to where, and even the people who were thinking hard in front of the Jinyu family left a lot.

"Shopkeeper Liu, you are so calculating." Liu Yuan hadn't figured out what was going on, and suddenly Jin Yuzhai's Zhang Fat Man and Shopkeeper Zhang walked in.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, what kind of wind blows you here" Liu Yuan grinned and said, "How can I calculate?" ”

Jin Yu family and Jin Yuzhai have a good relationship recently, Liu Yuan and Zhang Fatzi are also brothers, after all, this activity has benefited Jin Yuzhai a lot.

Zhang Fatzi said unceremoniously: "I haven't calculated yet, if others are too expensive, you will point to me, obviously to introduce me to my business cheaply, but in fact, it is implying that you are good, my poor, and the name I have saved in Jin Yuzhai over the years are all for you to step on." ”

"This~~~ was speechless for a while, I didn't think it through, please ask the shopkeeper to see the cold." In modern terms, it is called the method of agitation, but it is true that the Jinyu family is on top of Jinyuzhai, and it also makes people listen carefully, Liu Yuan has no choice but to admit his mistake.

"Ha Lu Ha Ha ~~" Zhang Fat Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Just kidding, to be honest, now your skills and styles are indeed much better than my Jin Yu Zhai, saying that the Jin Yu family is above Jin Yu Zhai, I am also convinced, this time I came to you not to talk about this matter, but specially invited you to see the lively." ”

"Watching the excitement? What's hilarious? Liu Yuan asked curiously.

"Did you hear the gongs and drums just now, the Yumanlou on the street also learned from you to engage in activities, I heard that the color head is a gold ingot weighing 100 taels, let's go, let's see what tricks that kid surnamed Chen does." Zhang Fatzi said with a sneer.
