Chapter 393: Dong Luan's Chronicles
The business of the shop is very good, and the good ones are somewhat unexpected by Boss Cheng.
Dongluan has never lacked silver, and the people of Dongluan are the richest among the four countries.
This place is rich in gemstones, and when you sell them, you can buy them for a sum of money. As a result, the local people are mostly engaged in gemstone-related industries. However, most of the land in Dongluan is barren and unsuitable for farming. Therefore, even though there are abundant gemstone resources, there are still some people who do not have enough to eat.
Therefore, every year Dongluan has to purchase a large amount of grain from the west, and the most popular thing in Dongluan is the grain store.
In recent years, the land close to Xiyan and Sidi has also been cultivated, but the output is not optimistic.
Rao is like this, relying on the abundant gems, Dongluan's life is quite peaceful.
Dongluan is a small country, with less than one-fifth of the land area of the western extension. Therefore, the monarch has signed an agreement with Xiyan to establish diplomatic relations with each other.
With the support of the West Extension, the people of Dongluan can finally sit back and relax.
Harvesting not much grain every year, and then exchanging gems for silver, this is the daily life of the people of Dongluan.
I don't have to do farming on weekdays, and I don't need to go to the mine every day of the year, but I have a lot of spare time. Therefore, among the four countries, Dongluan has the most entertainment items.
This is the main reason why Boss Cheng was able to own an entire commercial street and earn a lot of money.
What people pursue in life is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and after several other items can be satisfied, they begin to want more.
The appearance of 'Sakura' changed the pattern of a certain clock, so that those silver that did not bloom finally had a place.
Who doesn't want to wear nice clothes, who doesn't want to dress up in a dazzling way.
Dongluan's products are not rich enough, the land is not suitable for farming, and although there is silver in his pocket, there is nowhere to spend it. Moreover, the people of Dongluan do not like to leave the local area, and a family will often stay in one place for hundreds of years.
If you want to say that the most home-loving nation, it is none other than Dongluan.
For caravans, Dongluan is a huge treasure, which is most suitable for pit money. But if you don't sell anything in your own country, you can get Dongluan's boast and directly double it.
Over time, Dongluan has become a wronged leader in the eyes of others, and a sweetheart in the eyes of businessmen.
In recent years, Dongluan merchants have gradually gone out of their own country and began to bring goods from several other countries to sell in China, and this environment has improved slightly.
However, it is customary that the goods sold to Dongluan must be a few points more expensive than those in their own country.
Dongluan is rich in gemstones, and the local people also love gorgeous colors. Colors that are not popular in other countries can definitely be sold in Dongluan.
Therefore, as soon as the sakura opened, it was well received.
Although the color is not gorgeous enough, the decoration just caters to the aesthetics of the people of Dongluan.
Although they love gorgeous colors, they prefer plain colors in their home choices such as houses, which is very contradictory.
The large transparent glass windows greet the morning sun and illuminate the interior scenery.
The wooden gate is used as a barrier, and the curtain made of pearls and tulle the size of a grain of rice hangs, like a dream.
After the dream, there are neatly arranged clothes of various colors. There are plain and elegant, and there are also enthusiastic and generous, no matter what color you like, you can choose the right one. And the fabric is also special, but I have never seen it before.
"What kind of material is this, why haven't I seen it before?"
"yes, it's soft to the touch, it's quite special."
"And this. Hahaha, it's a little prickly, but it's so warm to the touch. ”
Boss Cheng shuttled among the guests like a flower butterfly, seriously introducing the characteristics of each fabric.
For example, this is cotton, that is summer cloth, and that is sweater......
Cotton cloth and summer cloth are also found in the country, and summer cloth is common and sold in shops. But it feels very hard and uncomfortable to wear, and no one wants to wear such clothes unless it is a real poor family.
As for cotton, it is even more rare. It feels good to the touch, but it's so breathable that it will shrink.
Boss Cheng had already 'made up classes' with Qin Xiang, and he was easy to ask questions about the guests, and he was not embarrassed at all.
For the choice of fabrics, Qin Xiang improved them according to the existing technology of this era.
Cotton cloth and summer cloth also have a long history on this continent, but due to the limitations of existing tools, the warp and weft spacing of the woven cotton cloth is too large, although it feels soft to the touch, but the cloth is heavy, but it will also be breathable.
As for the summer cloth, this cloth with a history of thousands of years was the first kind of cloth that could be artificially made after humans made clothes from animal fur.
Perhaps it is the parallel time and space that leads to the backwardness of the textile technology of this era.
In the history of China, Xia Bu, which once occupied a large part, is not popular here.
Not only does it feel rough, but it is also not wear-resistant, and it is not strong.
Only poor families would pick ramie and make it into summer cloth, which they would wear.
Most of the time, ramie is used as a raw material to make sacks.
The loom jointly improved by Qin Xiang and the old craftsman just solved this problem.
Nowadays, the summer cloth in the Qin Kee textile factory is almost indistinguishable from the modern linen cloth.
Not to mention the style that is similar to Dongluan's clothing, but completely different, deeply attracts every customer who walks into the store.
Every guest who walks through the door will take at least one piece of clothing with them when they leave.
They also praised the service of 'Sakura' and the special paper bags.
In fact, even Boss Cheng was a little reluctant to learn that 'Sakura' was packing clothes for guests in paper bags. Paper is so expensive, why bother to wrap clothes. Search
If he knew that Qin Xiang had a paper mill under him, and that it could produce all kinds of different papers, and that the paper used in Xiyan Weekly and the packaging bags under Qin Ji came from the paper mill, he probably wouldn't have thought so.
"Although paper is a recyclable resource, there is no concept of recycling in this era."
Qin Xiang thought so, and personally designed a more environmentally friendly linen packaging bag. Of course, that's another story.
The grand occasion of 'Sakura' made Boss Cheng smile from ear to ear, and he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, pulling the abacus and happily settling the accounts.
Hai Shi glanced at him, rolled his eyes boringly, and pulled the quilt into a good sleep.
Before falling asleep, she was in a trance, always feeling that something had been forgotten by her.
……
The person sent to supervise the business of the first store of the 'Sakura' brand soon sent a letter to Qin Xiang.
While Boss Cheng was busy calculating the benefits, Qin Xiang had already learned about the popularity of 'Sakura' in Dongluan, and based on this, he circled a few red circles on the map as the location of the next few stores.
"Xijing is uncertain, first open a store in the capital to test the water. The location is on Xuanwu Street. ”
Qin Xiang stared at the map and smiled: "It's not bad here." ”
Pepe subconsciously glanced at it and felt that this place was very familiar. When she helped Mrs. put away the map, she suddenly remembered that the place Mrs. chose seemed to be opposite Zhou Ji.
When Shopkeeper Zhu sent someone to deliver the news, Qin Xiang was enjoying a small snack.
Knowing that the Zhou family sent someone to block the door of the Jin family, and even did not hesitate to send someone to kill him, he couldn't help but feel that it had been too smooth recently, so he forgot about the Zhou family.
So, she let people take down the shop that she had been optimistic about for a long time, and decorate it on a certain day.
Aren't you fighting with me? Heh, then try it.
She is a person who eats soft rather than hard, and never wrongs herself in any aspect.
It doesn't hurt if peace is a partner. But there are some people who can't see others doing well. Isn't friendly competition bad? You have to do some dirty tricks.
"Xianggong."
Han Yunxiao raised his head from the book of war and looked at her suspiciously.
"Lend me a few people, I know you can find ......"
Who is the most in the army, of course, the military.
Qin Xiang has a different service system in Xiyan, but soldiers with disabilities can still stay in the army, which she didn't expect.
She thought that the third son was missing an ear, so she asked him to come to the house.
"You mean to leave the army due to injury?" Sanzi was a little puzzled: "What are you asking about this?" ”
"I happen to have a job here, and I need some experienced people."
The guards Qin Xiang uses now are all Chen Wuliu and his brothers, as well as the people Han Yunxiao arranged for her. Qin Ji's shop has increased one by one, and security has to be put on the agenda.
Security must not be sloppy, and she immediately thought of retired soldiers.
In this era, there is no talk of retirement, and the final destination of many soldiers is the horse leather shroud. If you are lucky enough to live to old age, it is really a happy event.
That's why she resigned to choosing some disabled soldiers.
Some of them had no choice but to return to their hometowns, and some of them were doing well, but most of them were ...... It's not too good.
She also heard someone mention it by chance, and she felt that she should be able to do something.
She doesn't need many security guards, but she can help even one person.
The third son understood what Qin Xiang meant, and helped her find a few people on the second day.
"They were soldiers who had been wounded in the last battle against Sidi, and the general was kind enough to allow them to remain in the army. However, the county lord also knows it. People with physical disabilities are undoubtedly a threat to their comrades on the battlefield. Besides, I can't bear to see them die in vain. ”
Threat? Qin Xiang didn't understand at first. Later, I figured out that people who lost one eye have limited vision, and it is easy to see the situation clearly in the battle and get injured. And his companions will be attacked by the enemy in this situation.
Although the reason is cold, it is also realistic.
It is better to communicate with experienced people than inexperienced people.
Just the day before, they were still small soldiers in the army, and today they have changed their faces and become members of Qin Ji's security team.
Practicing in the camp every day made it easier for them to obey discipline. Qin Xiang handed over the people to Chen Wuliu and them to train them, and after the 'Sakura' store in the capital opened, he sent these people there.
Business is getting more and more prosperous, and there are always people who want to treat her as a good mouthful. Qin Xiang will not take the initiative to provoke others, but if someone knocks on the door, she will not give up.
In this case, the security team is very necessary.
The shop she spent on decorating with money and money was not a mixed bag.
Qin Xiang didn't know that a subconscious move of hers would help her recover a lot of losses in the coming day.
At this moment, Qin Xiang was still deploying plans for the Zhou family.
People have already been bullied to the head, and it is certainly not an exaggeration to fight back appropriately.
Well, if you bully me, I will cut off your head.
The Zhou family is ready to take over.
