Chapter 246: Guanyin picks his heart
After two or three days, all the head and face jewelry in the shop were counted, and then the shopkeeper Zhang invited the lion team to dance according to the instructions of the owner.
The price of Angelica Pavilion's head jewelry has been reduced by two percent, and the price of that kind of large piece of pickiness and distraction has been reduced by two and a half percent, which is unheard of.
Not to mention anything else, Angelica Pavilion's jewelry materials, workmanship, and style are considered first-class in the shops in the entire Hangzhou Mansion, but the price of his family is more than one percent higher than that of others, and now it has dropped to a lower price than ordinary shops.
Don't say that those ordinary people who don't have a lot of money at home happen to buy a hairpin with a good color and style as an important occasion in front of such a good opportunity, and even those young ladies who are wealthy and often buy head jewelry are not a problem when they hear that the price of this jewelry has been reduced, and then buy it as if they are cheap, how can they not be tempted?
Even those who bought a new head yesterday and have no shortage of jewelry, when they encounter this kind of cheap and good thing, they can't help but pay for another one or two pieces of silver.
In the past two days, there has been a long queue at the door of Angelica Pavilion, and the head jewelry in the shop, along with those hoarded styles that are not easy to sell on weekdays, have also been rushed to buy.
Angelica Pavilion such a move, to the city of several other shops to catch off guard, originally they saw the decline of Angelica Pavilion, so they intended to join hands to reduce the price of a percent, it is expected that Angelica Pavilion for a hundred years to pay attention to the style of workmanship price will not be reduced. But I didn't expect them to say that it would drop ruthlessly.
"They sell at such a reduced price, do they want to sell the shop again? If you really want to sell it, this time you will buy it for 20,000 taels. "The owners and shopkeepers of these shops gathered together again because the business had been really bleak these days. The shopkeeper of one of them regretted that he had wavered from side to side and had not bought the shop.
"I don't think their family looks like they're going to sell a shop?" The owner of another family sent a young man to take a look, but they set up a lion formation to welcome the guests, and the guys and maids in the shop were all smiling, not at all like they had lost their jobs immediately.
"If you don't want to sell the shop, then if the price goes down, in addition to the cost of materials and labor, the profit you can make is really very little, how long can he last in this business?"
It's really puzzling.
"It's been two days, there are still a lot of people queuing at the door of Angelica Pavilion, it's not okay to go on like this, or let's nominate someone to come out and talk to the shopkeeper, do you pay attention to doing business is a kind and profitable, he goes on like this, the price is broken, it is obviously harmful to others and not to himself." One suggested.
The others nodded in agreement, at this time they were afraid that Angelica Pavilion would break the market, but they didn't want to do it at that time.
The person who was elected to talk to the shopkeeper only went for most of the morning, and when he came back, he was sweating profusely, and he was pushed by the people queuing up at the door to buy hairpins, but fortunately he brought good news.
"Even if he gave me a few thin noodles from the shopkeeper, he said that the price reduction would not be long, and that he would only receive twenty customers a day from tomorrow. In this way, other customers who have not bought hairpins will not wait long, and we can still open for business. ”
After he finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they were full of doubts, only 20 customers a day, can this make back the capital?
"We all know that this shop is not the shopkeeper's final say, but the property of the lady of our prefect's house, what does she know as a woman? I heard my wife say that her favorite thing in her life is to eat tea and listen to music, and as for business, it has to be a man's business......"
When everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help laughing, thinking that this lady had been short of money recently, and thought of a way to sell jewelry at a reduced price to raise silver and flowers.
Everyone laughed and turned back and forth, but Lao Li, the owner of only one shop, didn't think so, they didn't recognize the female proprietor of Angelica Pavilion, they only thought that she was an ordinary woman, but he knew.
He had seen her a few years ago, when she was still a little girl, came to Hangzhou from the capital, and it took a few days to rectify the problematic shop, and found out the opponent who used the tantric monk to forge it, and found out the case of the theft of the pattern drawing, and the famous Jin Yuxuan at that time collapsed.
Such a capable woman, he still remembers it vividly, because he understands in his heart that this time the price reduction of Angelica Pavilion must also be for a reason. Thinking that his shop is not big, because he refuses to reduce the price, he has been squeezed out by these shops for a long time, and he has the idea of wanting to visit this female owner. But it's just a small shop that doesn't have a climate, can people look at it?
Lao Li had such a thought, so naturally he wouldn't say it, so he left early.
Seeing that there are too many people who are greedy to buy jewelry, the jewelry in stock is gradually running out, and the new jewelry pattern drawing of Mrs. and the workshop has not yet been drawn, Zhang shopkeeper and Liu shopkeeper summed it up, and thought of a rut:
The small signs distributed to the people in line in the order before and after, said that from tomorrow, they will buy head and face jewelry in the order of the small signs, and only 20 people will be accepted every day.
Although the people in line were a little dissatisfied, there was no way, such a cheap good thing, if you miss it, you won't have to do it next time.
It's easy to send people away, and all the work in the shop, including the shopkeeper, is too tired to speak. But there was no way, Shopkeeper Zhang had to go to the workshop and shop at the back of the inner courtyard to urge him again.
He urged Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan was also anxious, but this time the style was much more difficult to draw than in Su Ri, Mrs. and Rose had seen the temples and Taoist temples of all sizes in the city, and copied a lot, but it was still difficult to pick out the suitable style for a while.
Diancui held a paintbrush in her hand, sighed, and sighed, blaming herself for not being angry in her previous life, but a concubine was only favored for so many months, and the silver money did not know how to save more privately. She really hadn't looked at it carefully.
When he was sighing for a long time, Yuan Lu, who was beside Yuan Zhiheng, came in.
"Why are you here, your lord?" Diancui asked suspiciously.
Lord Yuan Ludao still has official business, and he doesn't say much else, he took out a booklet from his sleeve and presented it, and said that this is the adult asked the little one to bring it to Mrs. Yuan, and after speaking, he shook his body, and quickly glanced at Rose who was immersed in drawing, and then turned around and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Diancui is angry and funny, this Yuan Lu and Yuan Fu are two completely different personalities, like this, put down the things and leave, don't say what it is, simply and neatly, if Yuan Fu comes, it will have to be almost the last hour to go back to life.
Opening the booklet sent by Yuan Zhiheng, Dian Cui couldn't help but call out in surprise: "Rose, Steward Li, Master Tu, Master Jiang, Aunt Zhang, you all come to see, what is this?" Dian Cui shouted that in addition to the maid Rose and the steward Li Qingshan, the other three are all masters of the workshop, and they know how to make drawings and hairpins.
When everyone saw the pattern on the scroll, they all held their breath.
"This is sent by the adult, the adult is really a god and a man, and the statue of Guanyin, the pagoda, and the queen mother on this top...... The paintings are too good, and they are also suitable for making hairpins, especially if they are distracted, they must be very dazzling, and they will naturally add a sense of dignity and majesty when they are worn. Master Tu saw the subtlety at a glance, and couldn't help but say excitedly, and Li Qingshan, who was born as a craftsman, was also moved.
Dian Cui couldn't hide his excitement, his nose was slightly red, he could always send what he needed inadvertently when he was at his most helpless.
She didn't know what other people's father-in-law was like, but he must be different, that is, he couldn't even compare to the infatuated man in the book.
Not afraid of the jokes of the few people present, Diancui rubbed his red nose, and swallowed the surging mood for a while. Fortunately, everyone was too excited, and they just gathered around to read the booklet, and picked out a few pictures from the pictures in this picture scroll, and agreed to make them provocative, distracted, and cover their temples and shake their steps.
Diancui is Guo Lao's apprentice, and this time he finally showed his skills in person, making the most difficult and dazzling gold-inlaid jewel jade fish basket Guanyin to pick his heart.
This piece picks the heart, the point of emerald is supported by gold, embedded with jade, the white jade is carved into lotus petals to make the hollow base and the back, the top is carved as a hand-held fish basket of Guanyin, and the edge of the backlight is carved into the shape of a curly grass. The lotus platform is made of red gold silk and stretched out on both sides of the lotus stem, lotus leaves, and five lotus flowers are embraced together, and five rubies are inlaid as flowers/stamens. He also made screws out of very fine gold filament, and decorated them with five pearls the size of his thumb. Fang Cheng.
It took Diancui five days to do this, Yuan Zhiheng pitied her for her hard work, but he also understood what she was thinking, so he didn't bother, and just threw herself on the head.
In the past five days, Diancui has concentrated on making this gold-inlaid jewel jade fish basket Guanyin pick-up, and several other masters have also made Jinlei Sanskrit pick-up, pagoda-shaped pick-up, immortal Manchi Jiao distraction, white jade flying hairpin, bead-inlaid baby flower bead hoop, and even Rose has learned to make the simplest white jade gourd earrings......
Each piece is not like an ordinary product, but when the day when the gold-inlaid jewel jade fish basket Guanyin was made by the heart, everyone was silent after watching it, because they could not find the right words of praise, and everyone could not speak to themselves for a long time.
"If this heart is hairpinned, I feel sorry......" Xin'er, who came to bring water to everyone, suddenly muttered.
"The owner's ability to make hairpins is amazing, and he is worthy of being Guo Lao's high apprentice, I admire him." Master Tu and others bowed down one after another.
For Li Qingshan, since he came out of Qianjia Village, it is difficult to see some emerald head jewelry, but this time when he saw it, he realized that people's abilities can really be thousands of miles a day, and his heart is more and more respectful.
Dian Cui is still a little embarrassed, but this is indeed the most satisfying thing she has done over the years, and if it is the master Guo Lao, she will definitely like it if she is reborn.
"How should this be priced?" Miaozhu is worthy of being a good hand at doing business, and everyone sees that it is only a thing to worship, but in the eyes of Miaozhu, this is the silver of white flowers.
