Chapter 388: Ingenuity
On the day of the opening of Biye Piaoxiang Building, Mrs. Wen Xiu was full of praise for Cui'er's tea, so Cui'er simply gave all the tea leaves in her hand to Mrs. Wen Xiu and asked her to take them back and drink them slowly.
Huiya also loved the tea very much, but because she was not familiar with Mrs. Wenxiu, she had no way to make any requests to Cui'er in front of Mrs. Wenxiu, so she endured the anticipation according to her temperament, and waited until the next day before she came to Lianfu again.
"Aunt Cui." Huiya saw Cui'er personally greet her at the second door, and she was so excited that she walked a few steps quickly, and when she arrived in front of Cui'er, she obediently saluted Cui'er.
"Come, Huiya, and go into the house with Aunt Cui. Yesterday, Mrs. Wenxiu was here, seeing that you are not too open, let's take a cup of tea today and talk. Cui'er took Huiya's hand and led her to the main courtyard.
To be honest, Cui'er didn't see Huiya talking when she was in the teahouse yesterday, but Mrs. Wenxiu was there, where could a junior be allowed to intervene there? After sending away Mrs. Wenxiu and the big girl Xiaohu, he took Huiya's hand and asked her to come to the house today.
"Aunt Cui, this is some candied fruit that I brewed myself when I was fine, and brought it to my younger brothers and sisters to taste." After Huiya followed Cui'er into the house, she took a small porcelain jar from the hand of the girl who followed and put it on the table.
"It's hard for you, and I'm still thinking about them." Cui'er accepted it with a smile, knowing that Huiya was a sincere child, and would not buy something from outside casually like Miss Shijia, or ask Yahuan to make something, so she lied that she did it to please people. Huiya said that she made it herself, so she must have done it herself.
"Come, bring out some of this preserves. I'll taste it too. Cui'er waved her hand at the girl ring next to her, and naturally the second-class girl ring carefully took out the candied fruit jar.
The big girl over there also brought the tea up according to Cui'er's instructions, and along with it, there were also refreshments. On the sweet white porcelain plate, four types of dim sum are arranged in a beautiful appearance, and even if you don't eat it, you can feel that it is a kind of enjoyment.
At the beginning, Cui'er relied on dim sum when she was in the backing mountain. Now thinking of those snacks, Cui'er still feels full of saliva. Thinking that Huiya was coming. I asked the cook to make a few kinds of them, one is to entertain Huiya, and I also think that it is also a part of the heart to send it out during the New Year's Festival in the future.
Tasting flower tea and eating snacks, but only a moment's work. Yahuan put the candied fruit brought by Huiya on the plate.
"Yo, this candied fruit pickled is really good!" Cui'er looked at the golden candied jujube on the white porcelain plate, exuding a faint sweet fragrance, and she liked it very much.
Stretched out his hand and twisted one and put it in his mouth and took a bite, the taste was soft and chewy, sweet from the mouth to the heart, Cui'er loved the taste very much, and simply stuffed the dates into her mouth.
"Aunt Cui likes it. Now that there is fresh fruit, I will pickle some more and send it to Aunt Cui. Huiya saw that Cui'er really liked it, and the smile in her eyes was even brighter. Said sincerely.
"That's a lot of hard work for you!" Cui'er smiled and nodded when she heard this, Cui'er had eaten a lot of this candied fruit before, and Huiya's made it was better than many modern candied fruits, not to mention the candied fruits sold in this ancient shop.
"How do you make these dates, I look better than the preserved fruit shops outside." Cui'er stretched out her hand and twisted one again. Seeing the jujube exuding a honey-colored luster in the sun, I felt that if this jujube was taken out and sold. Xu is not less profitable than opening a tea shop.
Cui'er had this idea, so she paid attention, Hui Ya's side things were probably okay when she was in the Zhao family, but after talking to Hui Ya a few times, she knew that although the Zhao Mansion had the right to command the soldiers and horses of the five cities, it didn't make much money to make a living.
Especially in the second room where Huiya is located, Huiya's father is not a producer, although he reads well, and he is also a civil official, but the silver for a few months is stretched to eat. Although Huiya's mother is the main room, she has a weak personality, and it is very difficult to rely on her to support Huiya.
"How is the situation of the Zhao family?" Cui'er looked at Huiya's palm-sized little face, and when some of the meat she had managed to raise was slimmed down again, she only felt distressed, "Did the people in the big house bully you?" ”
"Aunt Cui, I'm fine...... Huiya heard Cui'er's heartfelt question, her eyes turned red, but she hurriedly lowered her head for fear that Cui'er would see it, and only said that she was fine.
"You kid, can't Aunt Cui see if there's anything wrong?" Cui'er sighed and reached out to touch Huiya's head. Even if Huiya doesn't talk about it, Cui'er can know about her recent situation from her clothes.
Huiya has met with Cui'er several times recently, and although the jewelry on her head has changed, most of them were still given by herself when she sent her back to Zhao's house. The clothes are similar, although there are new clothes, and the material is not bad, but the color Cuier can recognize that it is not this year's new color.
What does this mean? The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and Huiya, a girl who is about to say goodbye, is treated harshly by some of the Zhao family in terms of clothes and jewelry when she goes out, and the ordinary days can be imagined.
"Huiya, in the affairs of the Zhao Mansion, Aunt Cui may not be able to help you too much, but in the matter of money, if Aunt Cui can help, you can say it directly." Cui'er suddenly remembered the last time Huiya said that she would help open a shop in partnership, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to partner with me to open a shop?" I'm going to open a medicinal herb shop now, specializing in gold sore medicine, what do you think of putting some dry stocks into you? ”
"Aunt Cui......" Huiya heard what Cui'er said about the gold sore medicine shop, and immediately thought of what Cui'er said to Mrs. Wenxiu yesterday about sending gold sore medicine to the northwest battlefield.
Hui Ya knew in her heart that this medicine was an indispensable thing in war, and sometimes it was even more important than food. Thinking of this, Hui Ya said gratefully but resolutely, "Aunt Cui, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't join this pharmacy." ”
"Hui Ya ......" Cui'er didn't know why Hui Ya's attitude had become so resolute, and she just wanted to say something, but she saw Hui Ya with tears in her eyes.
"Aunt Cui, I know that you are for my good, that is, my father and mother, and I am not as thoughtful as Aunt Cui for me......" The tears in Huiya's eyes kept rolling, as if she wanted to endure it and refused to let it fall.
"But Aunt Cui, I can't rely on you all my life to rely on you, and ask for so much from you with your love for me. Aunt Cui, Huiya wants to rely on her own strength to live a good life slowly. Hui Ya said emotionally, because the tears made her weak little face look more and more moving.
"Good boy, you are so ambitious, Aunt Cui supports you!" When Cui'er heard Huiya say this, she felt that it was better to make up for her than herself, so she thought about it along this line.
"We are all women, although we can do a lot to open a shop, but there are not many things that can be done......" Cui'er muttered carefully, talking with Huiya about what she could do when she opened a shop, and suddenly looked down and saw the candied fruit in front of her.
"Huiya, how many kinds of preserves do you make? What do you think if we put this snack and candied fruit together and open a shop? ”
"I can make five or six kinds of candied fruits, dates, dried apricots, dried peaches, etc., all of which are made for fun when I am bored on weekdays......" Huiya's face was slightly red, and she said with some embarrassment, as if she felt that she knew too few of these.
"It's okay, now there are five or six kinds of candied fruits, plus the snacks I can make in my hand, and flower tea...... We'll study the rest when we're fine. Cui'er said, thinking that this thing was very feasible.
"This packaging box can also be more exquisite, with good flower paper with a small poem or a small painting, which is more high-grade." Hui Ya thought of the box that Cui'er had ordered in the dim sum shop in Gushantun, and thought it would be better if it was accompanied by something.
"Yes, Huiya's self-made flower paper before is extremely beautiful." Cui'er nodded again and again, the box used to give gifts in the backing mountain was not high-grade in the capital.
If you want to help Huiya open a shop, you have to take the high-end route, whether it is the positioning of the product or the positioning of the market, you have to go higher. Although there are many sales of the general public, they can't make a lot of money, but high-end customization, which has face and lining, and can make more money.
But there is a premise, that is, he must be able to cause a trend in the capital and make the ladies of the powerful families identify with their own things. This incident coincides with the matter of Huacha, which Cui'er is busy with now.
"We can think about the matter of opening a shop in the long run, yesterday the Biye Piaoxiang Building opened, the name of this flower tea will be played out as soon as possible, if the name of the flower tea can be started, when we sell candied fruit and snacks in the future, we can also take advantage of the situation."
Cui'er carefully discussed the follow-up progress with Huiya, and under Huiya's suggestion, she took out all kinds of flowers that could be used for tea and made different flower notes. Cui'er uses this flower note to explain the name, function and drinking method of tea, just like a modern instruction manual.
The two of them worked hard for a whole day, and by the time it was dark and Hui Ya had to return home, the two had already studied a lot of packaging methods for flower tea, as well as the corresponding style of flower notes.
Looking at the flower paper lying quietly on the table, Cui'er only felt that if the packaging box was designed in this way, it would be more exquisite than the tea packaging sold in modern teahouses, and I am afraid it would also be more popular with the women of the boudoir, right?
Imagine receiving a gift from a close friend or sister Tao, this gift is wrapped in beautiful floral paper, with a variety of flowers and teas in porcelain bottles with beautiful patterns, and beautiful flower paper to express the friendship of the giver.
Just imagining it, Cui'er feels that this thing is promising! (Want to know more about "Emerald Pastoral"?)
