"The sales of Si Zhenfang in the first quarter have come out, and it is not good compared to previous years." Li Zhixuan tiredly walked to the chair and sat down, and said in a low voice: "The jewelry chamber of commerce has also made the merchants led by Jingbao Pavilion out of the limelight.

"How is it possible...... Li Jingyao covered her mouth, "Jingbao Pavilion has only been here for a year...... How could he surpass us! ”

"Transcendence is not yet available, but it is not to be underestimated." Li Zhixuan looked at Li Jingyao coldly, and said solemnly: "But you have to understand that Jingbao Pavilion has become our strong opponent, and you are now in charge of jewelry design in Si Zhen Fang, so you must also cheer up." Do you understand! ”

Li Jingyao hurriedly lowered her head and said yes.

Li Zhixuan looked at the green shade in the courtyard and sighed for a long time, "Ruan Mingyu is really a business wizard, a genius!" ”

In the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, Li Jingshan is also trying her best for the "Goddess Spirit" jewelry.

She put the drawings on Ruan Mingyu's desk, "This promotion is designed for Qixi Festival, so the theme is 'lovers eventually become married'." It takes time to mine a large amount of crystal, so I added acacia red beans to the design this time. ”

"Acacia red beans?" Ruan Mingyu looked at Li Jingshan's ear, and today she was carrying the plum blossom inlaid red bean earring.

He smiled: "By the way, I've always wanted to ask you, where did you find this red bean?" ”

"It's on the side of the mountain where the bodhi seeds are picked. You don't have to worry about the raw materials. We can hire the surrounding villagers to help pick and buy by the pound. Li Jingshan replied.

Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, young master." The Bodhi seeds needed for the Buddha's Birthday in September this year can also be solved in the same way. We can save a lot of labor. ”

Ruan Mingyu's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth were raised, he leaned forward, and approached her over the table, his tone was frivolous, "Good advice." Should I praise you, do we heroes see the same thing, or do we have a good heart? ”

Closely, Li Jingshan could smell the smell of his body, like the smell of green grass after the rain, very fresh. Her heart was pounding unhappily.

She forced herself to calm down and said, "It turns out that the young master has thought of it a long time ago. Calculate...... Count me as an axe. ”

"Well, that's not something you should be thinking about. You can think of it, just have a heart. Ruan Mingyu praised, sat back in his seat, and looked at the pattern, "Didn't design the whole set of heads and faces this time?" ”

Li Jingshan looked at the pairs of jewelry patterns, and began to feel inexplicably weak and blushing again.

She rubbed the corners of her clothes and pretended to explain casually, "The theme should be buttoned with the words 'become a family'." I think it's more that this festival allows lovers to send love tokens to each other, so I designed some pairs of jewelry, which are both moral and convenient...... Each of them holds one piece as a token. ”

Ruan Mingyu nodded and smiled, "It's kind of interesting." Mandarin ducks, butterflies, swallows...... Is this a wild goose? Ha, that's interesting! ”

These design patterns are the ones that Li Jingshan drew and modified when she was trapped by love in the first month, and every stroke is filled with feelings.

Li Jingshan looked at the pattern pointed by Ruan Mingyu's long fingers, the slender and well-proportioned fingers, and saw her heart skip a beat, she hurriedly lowered her head to hide the red clouds on her face, and pretended to be calm, "This jade pendant is two cross-necked wild geese, together they are two winged birds that are leaning on each other, and they are separated by two wild geese watching each other." ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Ruan Mingyu clapped his hands and laughed, "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." Take this design as the main style of this promotion. ”

Young Master Ruan can grasp the design theme clearly, so that Li Jingshan is like a bosom friend, and her heart is like being gently brushed by feathers, crispy and numb.

She took a deep breath before suppressing her emotions and forcibly pulling her back to business, "It's just that young master, the carving seal of this jade pendant is complicated, I'm afraid...... I'm not good at my craft, so I scrapped such a good design. ”

Ruan Mingyu raised his head and looked straight at her, "Then what do you want?" ”

That sharp gaze stabbed Li Jingshan's back coldly, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "I want to give this pattern to Master Lan Yu and ask him to carve this jade pendant of the winged bird." ”

"You're going to give your design away?"

"Master Lan is also the master of the Treasure Pavilion, so he can't be handed over. Moreover," Li Jingshan argued: "You said that he came to retire, if he has no achievements and can't get good dividends, he won't have a good time here......"

Ruan Mingyu listened to her reason, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Also, if he accepts your affection, it is not good to go against you again, and it is a good way to turn enemies into friends." ”

Li Jingshan's last bit of caution was pierced by him, and he stared at the butterfly on his upper embarrassedly, "I didn't think that you would make this pattern the main ......."

"Now that you know, do you still want to give it up?" Ruan Mingyu asked.

Li Jingshan raised her head, "Let!" He is better at carving than me, and doing it for him can bring the greatest benefit to the Treasure Hunt. She smiled slightly, "And, as a designer, who doesn't want their work to be presented in the best possible way." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in the depths of Ruan Mingyu's dark eyes, and he nodded approvingly, "Okay." Go and talk to him. This favor will be left to you to send. ”

Li Jingshan blessed her body, and said with a smile: "Young Master Xie! He turned around and went out briskly.

Ruan Mingyu looked at her figure and thought of the fluttering swallows in her design.

Li Jingshan told Lan Yu about it. Lan Yu was really excited, "This, how can this be, that's your design, Miss Li, I can't ......"

Li Jingshan stopped him and smiled: "It's all for the Jingbao Pavilion to be on an errand, what else do you have to share with mine." My jade work is not good, you are willing to take this job, you are helping me. Please also help me this because I am young and my craftsmanship is too tender. ”

She lowered her posture very low, but Lan Yu could understand and receive her kindness. So he nodded solemnly and promised: "Okay!" I'll take over the design first. If you have anything to help with in the future, just come to me. Technical difficulties, I can help, I will definitely help! ”

Li Jingshan thanked her happily and went down to work.

"Lao Lan, you were bought by her like this?" Ding Mo turned out from behind, dissatisfied with the authentic.

Lan Yu turned around and hurriedly responded, "Master Ding, don't dare to say that." I'm a bad old man, what could I do to buy her a little girl. People are kind enough to help me. ”

Ding Mo sneered, "Why should she help you?" Eighty percent is to help ......" halfway through speaking, seeing that Lan Yu didn't think so, he snorted, don't look over.

…… Eighty percent is just helping young owners buy people's hearts.

Lan Yu couldn't hear it. He shook his head and said earnestly: "I have carved jade for half my life, and I have nothing to say about my craftsmanship, but I have always lost in this design. Even if the young owner instructed that girl, it was to sell me a favor. ”

"Moreover, the girl also said that it was all for our business. Why don't I take on this kind of thing that is beneficial to all parties? Lan Yu asked, "Brother Ding, if this matter falls on you, will you refuse?" ”

Ding Mo changed color and said: "I don't need others to give me any design patterns!" With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Lan Yu sighed and wanted to chase out, but stopped at the door and sighed. He looked at the drawings in his hand and went back to the house to ponder them.

-----

Throughout June, Jingbao Pavilion is in full swing preparing for the Qixi sales season.

When Ding Mo first came to Minzhou, he naturally wanted to make a splash here, and designed a full set of tired silk eight treasures to accumulate beads.

Lan Yu carefully studied the double-buckled jade pendant of the winged bird, and made some improvements, so that when the two halves of the jade carving were buckled together, it was more tight and beautiful. Li Jingshan was full of praise.

Lan Yu said with a smile, "This kind of carving skill, in the general number, few people can complete it, if you want to learn, I can teach you." ”

Li Jingshan hurriedly thanked her, Lan Yu really took the jade carving knife and compared it with her. After instructing, Lan Yu said again: "Skills can be taught, but skills can only be practiced by yourself." Little girl, your hands are still so delicate, hehe, when you have a calloon on your hands, you can only be regarded as just getting started. ”

Li Jingshan looked at Lan Yu's hands full of ravines and scars, and truly felt the long road of jewelry creation, spreading out in front of her eyes, covering all fields: carved seals, tired silk, dotted emerald, burning blue......

It turns out that I have only set foot in a short section, and there are countless exquisite skills behind me, waiting for me to contact them one by one and understand them one by one.

For the first time, she understood Master Xie Baizi's several admonitions to herself; For the first time, I really wanted to have the opportunity to systematically learn the art of making various jewelry.

However, she also understands that now is not the time. She hasn't really gained a foothold in the Treasure Pavilion yet, and she still needs to prove more of her worth to Ruan Mingyu.

Li Jingshan clearly knew that she had only entered his eyes now, not his heart......

She also changed and changed her design, in addition to using crystals and red bean inlays, she also tried to add the emerald process. However, since then, the expression techniques have been diversified, and the labor cost has also risen.

Ruan Mingyu saw it and said to her, "You don't need to compare your craft skills with them. Have you forgotten why you designed these accessories in the first place? ”

He shook the folding fan gently, and the "picturesque country" on the fan surface came to his face, "The customer group of your jewelry is different from them." Since you are going to follow the path of civilian sales, controlling costs is the most important thing. ”

He closed the fan, tapped her on the head, and smiled, "Don't let them lead you astray." ”

Li Jingshan suddenly cut down on those labor-intensive and time-consuming processes, and still took the simple and ingenious design route. Launched a set of lovers' accessories with the theme of "dependents".

After June and a half, major merchants began to publicize the "Qixi Festival" sales season, and the jewelry industry was also in full swing. To the surprise of his peers, Si Zhenfang also carried out a new product promotion this year!
