Chapter 34 Relatives
Uncle Yang Dong said: "Take it to me and take a look." ”
Ma handed him the drawing, he took it and looked at it and smiled, "This is very simple, you can make it, just cut a piece of copper mirror and inlay it."
I've seen foreigners' small handles, which are more real than our brightness, and the estimated cost is high. Just add a piece of wood mesh in the porcelain box, and insert a copper mirror, and the price will go up if it looks good. ”
"What's that face-wrenching thing called?"
Yang turned his head and asked his daughter.
"I don't know, it's easier to use powder on your face than to use your hands."
Zilan stretched out her hands.
"It's just a puff."
Sister-in-law Xu clapped her hands and set the tone.
"Cheng, I wrote it down, give me this picture, I'll find someone to customize a batch for you."
"Uncle, the color of the flower should be different, the name of our Tianxiang Pavilion should be printed on the bottom, and the quality of the box should be of high and low grade, so that it is easy to distinguish the value and different pollen.
For example, the box of Jun porcelain should be filled with first-class makeup powder, and the ordinary blue and white porcelain should be loaded with second-class powder, but the bottom of the box must have the name of Tianxiang Pavilion. ”
Zilan didn't care if it would be leaked, after all, this is her own business, and she can only continue if she does it well, she is a girl, and if the family has no money, she can't buy expensive spices. If you want to continue, you have to make money from your own family.
"Obediently, why do you have a bunch of ghost ideas in your brain, okay, uncle understands, do as you say, and the other boxes are also printed with names, and the colors should be more elegant, right?"
"By the way, uncle, you're too smart."
Zilan stretched out her thumb and praised him.
A room full of people laughed.
"Okay, don't show off, hurry up and eat, you can't stop your mouth when you eat."
Yang dragged his daughter in his arms with a disgusted face, took the rice and vegetables to feed her.
"Mother, I just gave you a good idea, turn your face and cross the river and tear down the bridge."
Zilan pouted.
"You're weird, it's cold to eat quickly."
Yang laughed angrily at his daughter, but the child's idea was indeed a good idea.
Zilan didn't talk anymore, and ate peacefully in the arms of her mother.
"This kid's brain is really fast, if this can be done, it should be very good."
In the past, the pollen was rolled onto the stick that had passed the cotton sheet, called the hairpin stick, and when you used it, you could pat it on your face with a little dip in the palm of your hand.
But this also has a disadvantage that it is not very even when shooting, and it is all over the hands, which is far less convenient and simple than the puff.
Zilan picked a very smug look, but she didn't speak, her mouth was full.
"Good girl, I'll make money to buy you new clothes."
Ma touched her little face and smiled, Zilan nodded vigorously and smiled, and her eyes bent into crescents.
After eating, Zilan and Shuhui played for a while, and after moving around many places during the day, they were also a little tired, and they were so sleepy that they rubbed their eyes.
"Hurry up and bring water, the girls are sleepy, hurry up and arrange a bed for washing, the children are tired after a day of playing."
The old lady carefully noticed that the two children were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes.
Peony and Hongxia carried the two children into the inner room, and asked the little girl to bring water to wash up, and waited for the masters to rest.
"This kid is so smart, he needs to be taught well."
The eldest uncle couldn't help but nod after looking at the drawings.
"Don't praise her, let her hear, her tail will go up to the sky. This thing just came on a whim, and it didn't take long for someone to learn it. ”
Yang is more rational and objective.
"It doesn't matter, the box has the name of our store on it, this is also a method, just learn it, let's do something good and someone will recognize it."
Small stores don't dare to follow the trend and learn indiscriminately, for fear of retaliation, and those who dare to learn are also stores with a little confidence, and they are not afraid of having someone behind them.
"We are the first to make it, there is always a profit, and the fans still have to do a good job."
"Well, I'm thinking about it."
Yang also thinks that it is still feasible, but some people may not make so much money if they imitate it in the later stage, but it will not be too little.
In the next few days, the Yang family and the three sisters-in-law went to be busy, and Zilan didn't have any ideas, let them toss by themselves.
Song Zhengtian has to rest for a few days when he comes back, and the order has not come down yet, these days he has taken a few of their children to walk the streets and alleys to taste the food, but Zilan is so beautiful that it is bubbling.
It also let her know that the capital is still very prosperous, and it is very quick to accept new things, and there are shops that specialize in selling Western goods.
Her father also bought her a Western music box, and Zilan was very happy.
The current powder boxes are all loose powder, not pressed into powder, and there is no technology, but the loose powder box is not bad, as long as it is easy to use.
Yang and Yang Dong and others saw the box and finally knew what it was like, but their box was not very beautiful, Yang Dong smiled: "I know this, don't worry, ordinary people don't dare to imitate, it's too expensive." ”
"Yes, the small shop can't afford to imitate, the cost is too high."
Sister-in-law Xu also smiled and nodded, but she still did what Zilan asked, she felt that it was profitable, this thing was not something that ordinary people could afford to play, and it was also very good to simply do business for noble ladies.
Song Zhengtian played with his children for five or six days, and received an order to report to the household department in a few days.
The husband's errand is here, and the Yang family is also down-to-earth, this time he is promoted, the second sixth rank official, the Yang family is also very satisfied, the husband is still young, take your time.
Song Zhengtian went to report, Zilan and Ziyan read and read at home, Song Zhengtian went to the court to check the homework of several of their children, and often took their brothers and sisters back to Song's house to play and contact the clan.
Song Zhengtian was free to find a scholar from Jinshi for the Song family to go to the clan to learn to be a master, and the Song family was very happy.
This is a scholar who has taken the test for fame in the capital but can't find a position, but it is conceivable that the official position is not said to have it.
The days have entered the formal, Zilan and Shuhui have gradually become busy, but they play and study together every day, and their homework has gradually increased, they have to follow Mama to learn the rules, identify medicinal materials, and learn embroidery.
Zilan and Shuhui came back from school hand in hand, and found that there were people in the main hall, a woman and a little girl.
The woman was crying and knelt at the feet of the old lady to plead, and the little girl trembled with fear. Zilan immediately pulled Shuhui into the inner room and asked Peony quietly.
"Sister Peony, whose lady is this, what's wrong?"
Zilan asked in a low voice.
"Miss Cousin doesn't know, this is our relative, she is the niece of Hou Ye, the daughter of Hou Ye's cousin.
At that time, because the old lady's uncle died on the battlefield, and the cousin and his wife also died early, I couldn't bear to take over the family upbringing, and talked about family affairs, but I heard that this time I came back because her husband died, and her husband's family was not very good to her because she had no son.
I wrote a letter to ask for help from my family, but the old Hou Ye sent someone to pick it up, and I may have to live in the Hou Mansion in the future. ”
