Chi Yue is confident that there are advantages and disadvantages to his ideas, but it is not easy to implement them.

Doing packaging involves printing, and today's printing level is backward, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is expensive. If you ask others to do it, it is indeed not a small amount.

But if she does it herself, the situation is different, and the cost is many times lower.

In modern times, as a top student in a prestigious school, she also studied movable type printing, and she thought it was very simple and easy at that time, so why not try it yourself?

Thinking like this, she immediately started to do it.

Movable type printing is to put together the words that are needed, and then apply ink and print them on paper and other things.

At this time, there was no plastic, let alone transparent plastic, so Chi Yue had to replace it with oiled paper that people often use to wrap steamed buns and buns.

Oiled paper is not easy to tear, and it is very cheap, a penny a piece, a penny is a hundred. Such a small cost is almost negligible.

Chi Yue found Zheng Carpenter, who helped her make a juicer and create a plaque in the county town, and gave him a few words and asked her to help him make a character mold of these words.

Carpenter Zheng stopped what he was doing, picked up the note given to him by Chi Yue, and read it word by word: "Chijia brown sugar (large characters, seal style), Chijia workshop system (small characters, italics), place of origin: Baihua County, Luzhou Prefecture (smaller font, italics). Refined brown sugar, lips and teeth fragrant (large characters, seals). ”

After reading it, Carpenter Zheng put down the note and asked Chi Yue strangely, "I wonder what the girl wants for these characters?" If it is used to engrave articles, there are too few words. If it is used for plaques, the font is too small. ”

Seeing that Carpenter Zheng was really puzzled, Chi Yue couldn't hide it from him, so he told his intentions.

When Carpenter Zheng heard this, he sighed and said, "The old man has never heard of these handwriting engraved on the packaging, let alone helped people customize it." However, after listening to Miss Chi's words, the old man felt that this method was very feasible. If the words I carved can be widely spread to all over the world, it can be regarded as the old man's luck. ”

He immediately responded to this task, and promised to give the characters to Chi Yue in two days.

Engraving is a meticulous and hard work, and Chi Yue promised to give him a silver tael as a reward. Two days later, she successfully got the character mold and praised Zheng Carpenter's craftsmanship.

Bringing the fonts back to the workshop, Chi Yue put them together and brushed them with black ink.

Then she fastened the oiled paper on her head and removed it after a while. When I landed, it was a different look on the oiled paper.

On the front, in the middle is "Chijia Brown Sugar" several large seal characters, the atmosphere is very majestic, and the lower right corner is printed with "Chijia Workshop System" several small italics characters, which is slightly smaller than the "Chijia Brown Sugar" in the middle.

At the back, the large characters in the middle are the advertising slogan "Refined Brown Sugar, Lips and Teeth Leave a Fragrance", and below is a description of the origin in smaller fonts.

As for the shelf life that modern people are particularly concerned about, there were no additives in ancient times, and the shelf life of brown sugar was only a few months to a year, which everyone knows. Since the production date and expiration date are not indicated, everyone invariably uses sight and taste as the criteria to detect whether brown sugar is spoiled. As long as it doesn't look moldy or melted, and it doesn't taste strange, you can continue to enjoy it.

In Chi Xin's view, movable type printing is so troublesome, if she were her, she would not bother to do those trivial things, simply as before, and do not indicate the expiration date.

But Chi Yue insisted on doing this, and her reason was very simple, "To make the first bird, let's just do it thoroughly." If we make everything public, it will be easy for us to gain the trust of everyone. Later, they will gradually see the great use of the expiration date and come to buy our brown sugar without any worries. ”

Chi Xin trusts Chi Yue, and also believes that she definitely has the perseverance to handle this complicated matter properly, so that she can do it.

Chi Yue found Carpenter Zheng again and asked him to engrave "Production date: Emperor Yan ten years, month, day, shelf life of nine months." There are also typefaces from one to ten, and the latter is printed in three copies, so that it is easy to piece together the exact date at will.

On the packaging of the first brown sugar, it is engraved with "Production date: August 5, 10th year of Emperor Yan, shelf life: nine months." ”

Chi Yue is also thinking, the temperature varies from place to place, and if it is a particularly hot place in midsummer, then the storage period of brown sugar will inevitably be shortened. It was only then that the period of half a year to a year was compromised, and nine months were chosen.

After printing, the oil paper should be taken to the sun to dry for a long time, and then put away when the ink is dry, wrap the brown sugar one by one, and then neatly glue and seal.

She specially sent two literate hyphenations, and patiently and meticulously did the work of this packaging every day.

In the Chi family's workshop, there was a person who specialized in the task of distributing brown sugar to various peddling points, and Chi Yue handed over this task to the able-bodied old Fan.

Nowadays, the peddling point of the Chijia workshop in the county town is five pastry shops, and there is an endless stream of people who come to buy, and the business is quite prosperous.

They were the same as Lao Fan's feelings when they saw this batch of brown sugar, they were shocked, with indescribable interest, "Brown sugar can still be sold like this?" Boss Chi is really clever and specializes in doing something different. Thinking about it, brown sugar has this packaging, not only the appearance is formal, but also clean and hygienic, with the expiration date, you can rest assured that you can eat it, and everyone has to rush to buy it. ”

As they expected, in just two days, this batch of more than 200 pieces of brown sugar was sold out.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, many people have to go to relatives with gifts. Good wine, jade and the like are still rare, but as for food, they are indispensable, and high-grade food is very rare.

Dazzled, everyone saw Chijia brown sugar with wrapping paper and printed with positive handwriting on the board.

Seeing that this brown sugar is so different, it is ingenious, not only the name of the food, but also the name of the workshop, as well as the production date, etc., are so clearly explained, it is really rare.

It is not only a rare thing, but also the brown sugar that everyone is pursuing now, take this thing to go to relatives, that is called a double face!

Subsequently, Chen Yu also brought more than 300 packaged brown sugar from the Chi family workshop to the capital to sell, and the income was also quite considerable, surpassing the Gu Han workshop with the largest production volume, and the Li family workshop with a lot of connections.

Chen Yu immediately rushed over and reported the good news to Chi Yue.

"Boss Chi, congratulations, congratulations! Your brown sugar can be regarded as famous both inside and outside the capital, not only the concubines and concubines have named your brown sugar, but probably even the emperor knows the name of your workshop. The name of your workshop can be regarded as a start, and it is thousands of miles away! ”

Chi Yue smiled slightly, all of this was what she expected, and she didn't feel how surprised.

Instead, when she saw Chen Yu, she remembered another thing, and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "So, your son-in-law has also seen it?" What did he say? ”

Chen Yuleng for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then said: "My son-in-law is not in Beijing now, he went to his relative's house next to him, and I don't know how long it will take to go back, so I haven't seen it." ”

Chi Yue was suddenly a little lost.

So, Gu Han is still fighting against the enemy on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang?

I don't know if he can go back safe and sound now that he is in good health?

Thinking about it, he forgot that Chen Yu was still in front of him.

"Boss Chi is very busy now, so I won't bother too much and go back." Chen Yu spoke at the right time.

"Steward Chen, go slowly." Chi Yue came back to her senses and hurriedly saw off the guests.

She looked at the busy workshop, and now it was so busy that it was almost in short supply.

If you want to increase the number of workers, you need to expand the area of the workshop, and the cost is also expensive. Now that Chi Yue has five or six hundred silver dollars on her, she thought about it, it would be better to save some flowers.

After all, maybe there will be something wrong with this, when she meets someone like Li Qingqing who deliberately embarrasses herself, if she puts all her money into it at once, then she will inevitably be powerless when facing bankruptcy.

You have to think about the way back, don't drive yourself into a dead end, she secretly warns herself.

In the winter, she will use out-of-season vegetables to make a good fortune for him, and then plan the business of black chicken white phoenix pills and cake shop, at that time, not only can the workshop be expanded, but also the system space can continue to be upgraded, and more ways to make money.

Later, Chi Yue was even more convinced that her worries at this time were not unreasonable.

At this time, Li Qingqing was like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously spinning around in the room.

"What? Chi Yue's girl actually sold twice as much brown sugar as us? Li Qingqing stared at the new steward in front of him with tears of desire, Wu Gang, "She just wrapped a layer of paper on the outside of brown sugar, and fooled those dignitaries and nobles, and even the palace didn't book us, and they all went to her?" ”

She really can't figure out the truth here, and she can't figure it out even after racking her brains!

So, she vented all her sulkness on the person in front of her, "You bunch of waste, what's the use of me raising you, why can't you also give me ideas to catch up with Chi Yue's girl?" If you useless things you can't think of them, fuck me off! ”

Wu Gang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said cautiously to the aggressive Li Qingqing: "Not only are they well-packaged and quite high-grade, but they also indicate the production date and shelf life, so that people can rest assured." Besides, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, this is the time for everyone to buy gifts and go to relatives, and bring a rare thing to go, which can be regarded as filling up face for yourself and letting everyone see the world, why not? The little ones thought that the right time, people and places made their brown sugar sell so quickly and catch up with us. ”

"And then?" The more Li Qingqing listened, the more angry he became, and his eyes glared at Wu Gang fiercely.

Wu Gang knew that she was going to come up with a way by herself, so he told her in detail, so he quickly turned a few corners on the spot, and said tremblingly: "Little one, why don't we also learn from the Chi family's workshop and also engage in packaging?" They have just forcibly occupied the market, and they have not yet gained a firm foothold, our network in the capital is much more than theirs, and the sales volume is large. In such a big market in the capital, the overlord designates us. ”

When he came to the Li family's workshop, he had already heard of Li Qingqing's methods.

In this way, Li Qingqing did not do less to emulate everywhere and squeeze out opponents. This trick should be in line with her heart.

Sure enough, when Li Qingqing heard this, his eyes immediately calmed down, a sneer oozed from the corner of his mouth, and a few cold words were squeezed out from between his teeth, "Chi Yue, I call you proud, see how long you can be proud?" ”
