"Be quiet! Don't be noisy! Li Hao shouted. As soon as these words came out, the scene was so quiet that the fallen leaves could be heard.

Li Hao said: "People who can write "Thousand Words" stand up! ”

The crowd stood still, and not one of them came forward. Li Hao was stunned, although he was mentally prepared for the literacy rate of the Song Dynasty, but there were so many people, none of them could write "Thousand Character Essays", and the number of illiterates was too exaggerated. ”

Li Hao looked at everyone and asked again: "Will you plan to stand up!" ”

This time, someone finally came out, and there weren't many, only five.

"Very good, you five go over there first, and I'll see what you plan to do later." Li Hao passed the screening and recruited twenty articulate guys, among whom the calculation was faster and planned to be a cashier.

Some of these long-term workers went to the city from the countryside to find jobs, and Li Hao let them live in the houses of the Li Mansion, and the big houses were finally much more popular.

Next, Li Hao rented a spacious shop through Cui Ji Ya and found a housekeeper.

The housekeeper is more important to Li Hao, because he has to return to the main world from time to time to live, and the affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty world will be taken care of by the housekeeper. Li Hao was not satisfied with the "interview" of several housekeepers, and finally Cui Ji Yaxing recommended a Ding housekeeper.

This Ding housekeeper's name is Ding Fu, nearly half a hundred years old, his hair and beard are mostly white, but his eyes are still bright. He used to be a housekeeper in the family of the official, he was able to read and write, was familiar with the world and the etiquette of the Northern Song Dynasty, and had certain management skills.

Li Hao hired this Ding Fu, offered a high salary of 6 yuan per month, and promised that there must be a "year-end bonus" before the New Year. As for the amount of the year-end bonus, it depends on the performance of Steward Ding.

Li Hao conducted intensive training for the guys in the shop, because it was selling modern small goods, the guys had little understanding of this, and they had to carry out "pre-job training".

The shop guys were divided into two groups, and three shifts were implemented later.

After the guys clarified their working hours, they felt that the owner who had returned from overseas was really good, they were divided into shifts, and each person did not work for a long time, and it did not affect the eating and resting schedule, and he received more wages than others. In contrast, the guys cherish this job even more.

Li Hao felt that the workers of the Song Dynasty were really useful, they had a very high concept of respect and inferiority, and they obeyed the words of the owner. In the 21st century, where to find such hard-working workers, the workers of the main world are more than a cow, and the boss is fired if he is not careful. In this world, it is not easy to find a stable job, and the employees cherish it.

Four days later, a new store opened on one of Quanzhou's busiest streets.

The entrance of the new store is very large, and there is a large plaque directly above it that reads "Rare Treasure Pavilion" with five big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. A red ribbon with flowers hangs on the plaque, and the ends of the red silk hang down from both sides of the large plaque, fluttering in the wind.

"Knock knock", in the rhythmic drum beat, two awakening lions are shaking their heads and tails. Pedestrians stopped to watch, pointing at the two lions, and a group of children even walked in and out of the crowd, looking at the lion's head excitedly.

Lion dance has a long history and became popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was even more popular in the Song Dynasty. However, the lion dance is mainly held during the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival or temple fairs, and there is no habit of opening a lion dance, which immediately attracts countless pedestrians. In ancient times, there was a lack of entertainment, and lion dances appealed to them.

Li Hao and housekeeper Ding Fu also stood aside and watched. Ding Fu sighed: "Young master, how did you come up with a way to open a lion dance?" This trick is really powerful, it attracted a large number of passers-by at once, and the store was very prosperous on the first day, which is a good sign. "The ancients were very particular about good signs in business, and lion dances also had festive and auspicious meanings.

Ding Fu admired this young master very much, why couldn't he think of this?

Li Hao smiled secretly in his heart, the opening of the lion dance was just a convention, and he didn't expect that in Ding Fu's eyes, it was actually a big innovation. The turtle is the turtle, the sedimentation of 800 years of civilization, the difference between the two sides is too great.

Firecrackers sounded, and the shop officially opened. Onlookers poured into the store, curious about the store.

At this time, a young scholar walked by with a scholar, looking at the five big characters of "Rare Treasure Pavilion" on the plaque, he frowned and said: "The owner of this shop is so big, Rare and Rare Treasure Pavilion, who dares to say that every piece he sells is a rare treasure?" ”

But from time to time there were bursts of exclamations in the store, and from time to time some people sighed and admired, as if the goods inside were really not simple.

The scholar was curious: "Let's go in and see what kind of treasure it is, shall we?" ”

The scholar was also aroused, and he nodded: "Okay, if it's an ordinary thing, let's smash his signboard." So saying, he went into the shop with the scholar.

Li Hao just heard the scholar's words, and he said to Ding Fu with a smile: "You actually want to smash my signboard, let's go, let's follow him in and see how this scholar reacts when he sees overseas treasures." ”

Ding Fu said with a smile: "Young Master, the treasures you brought back from overseas are all rare treasures. The name of this shop could not be more apt, and the name of the Treasure Pavilion is well deserved. ”

The scholar and the scholar walked into the Treasure Pavilion, and there was already a crowd inside. However, the owner of the Treasure Cabinet seems to have anticipated this situation, and has reserved a lot of space, and the counters are far from each other.

This scholar's name is Mo Fan, he is a well-known talent in Quanzhou City, and his father is one of the top merchants in Quanzhou City.

Mo Fan came to the first counter, only to see a guy holding a round object in both hands: "Everyone, this is a secret crystal mirror, priced at 50 yuan." ”

Mo Fan exclaimed: "A mirror sells for 50 yuan, this is simply a money grab." Are your mirrors not made of copper, but of gold? ”

The guy smiled and said, "The mirror in this store is really not copper, and it is definitely not the same as the commonly used copper mirror, otherwise I wouldn't dare to sell it at such a high price." ”

The scholar squeezed over and shouted, "Let me see, let me see." ”

The boy held the mirror in both hands and let the scholar take a look, and the boy exclaimed, "Ah! ”

Mo Fan shouted: "Reading to nourish your qi, you have to be calm when you encounter something, and you will shout and scream at every turn, what kind of system will it be?" ”

The scholar stretched out his hand and pointed to the mirror, stammering, "That mirror, that mirror......"

The shop guy held the mirror and let Mo Fan also take a look, and Mo Fan exclaimed: "Ah! "The cry was louder than that of a scholar, and he had long forgotten what he had taught him." This mirror is amazing, I don't know what it is made of, how can it shine so clearly and clearly? ”

"This is a secret treasure made by our store, only the owner knows, and the villain doesn't know what it is made of." Of course the guy couldn't answer.

Mo Fan looked at it for a long time: "I'll buy it." ”

The scholar was surprised: "That's 50 times." ”

Mo Fan said: "Soon after, my sister was born, I was worried that there was no gift, this crystal mirror is good." Far more popular with my sister than jewelry. ”

The scholar took out a stack of silver tickets and paid, and the guy said to Mo Fan: "This mirror is similar to the most expensive porcelain, it is a very brittle and fragile treasure, you must be careful at ordinary times, and the store will not compensate for any damage." ”

After the boy returned with the money, the man wrapped the mirror in silk and carefully handed it to the scholar, telling him to be careful and careful. The scholar held it tremblingly, for fear that if he accidentally turned 50 yuan into water.

Mo Fan walked to another counter again, only to hear a guy gushing: "This is a treasure of our store, called a magnifying glass." Why is it called a magnifying glass? Because when you look at things like this, they look many times larger than they actually are, and even the smallest things can be seen clearly. ”

The crowd of onlookers spoke one after another: "I don't believe it, how can there be such a miraculous thing." ”

"What's the joke about amplifying things? It's unheard of. ”

"I bet it's not true, and if I lose, I'm willing to eat that thing."

"You think beautifully, if it's true, then the play is worth 20 yuan, and the 20 yuan thing is willing to let you eat it?"

The guy asked a customer to look through a magnifying glass, and the customer was dumbfounded: "Oh my God, it's true, the fingers look as thick as the arms." ”

Mo Fan had long since lost the Sven of the reader, he squeezed to the front and shouted, "Let me see, let me see." ”

The guy put a hair on the counter, held a magnifying glass a few inches above the hair, and motioned for Mo Fan to see. Mo Fan took a closer look and exclaimed, "Is this still hair?" It's as thick as wool! ”

The guy smiled and said, "How about it, buy one, no matter how small things are, you can see it clearly." ”

Mo Fan just spent 50 yuan to buy a mirror, although he also liked this magnifying glass, but he didn't dare to buy it immediately. His family is very wealthy, but he is not immune to being scolded by his father for spending so much.

At this time, the man faced the crowd and suddenly brought the magnifying glass a few inches in front of his eyes. When everyone saw a huge eye, they couldn't help but exclaim, and some people were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

The guy laughed, and his eyebrows fluttered: "This magnifying glass can not only magnify things, but also gather sunlight into a point, ignite paper and leaves, and so on. The number of magnifying glasses is limited, so if you want to buy it, you should start as soon as possible. ”
