Chapter Forty-Six: Miss Flowey
When I came out of the house, the sky was still a little bright, and some of the vendors at the other end of the market had just closed their stalls, and many small shops selling food had also been closed.
Some are because they are too far from home, and some are because it is dark and it is too expensive to light the lamp. In short, the small shops that Qiao Da originally wanted to eat have closed their stalls.
Hua Banxia knew that Qiao's family was thrifty, so he didn't speak, but since there was no small shop selling food, Hua Banxia had no choice but to go to the restaurant.
"Banxia, why don't we go", Hua Banxia is more familiar with Nancheng than them, and specially chose a restaurant that is not up or down. But for Qiao Da, I still think it's too expensive.
"It's okay uncle, let's make money just to eat, people can't live if they don't eat, and they can't lose money if they eat something good", Hua Banxia pulled Hua Qingqing and walked in first, so that Qiao Da didn't have time to refute.
Hua Banxia walked into the restaurant and chose a big table to sit down. Helplessly, Qiao Da and the others gathered their clothes, looking a little nervous and careful, their eyes did not dare to look randomly, and they walked directly to Hua Banxia and sat down.
Hua Banxia smiled, called Xiao Er, and ordered some cheap home-cooked food, and the whole family ate it for only two hundred yuan.
In the next few days, Hua Banxia and Qiao Da's family stayed in the store to do the work of cutting paper and punching holes repeatedly, and Hua Banxia also took advantage of their inattention at night to take out the printed work in the space.
After six days of non-stop, the paper cutting and punching work was finally completed, and the next step was the cost of winding the thread.
"Uncle and second uncle, you take a few brothers to be responsible for winding the thread, remember, the page number must be accurate!" Hua Banxia began to arrange the next move again.
In the past two days, the coarse paper shell of Hua Banxiading has also been delivered, and she will take Chen Jiahua and several female generals in the family to be responsible for pasting the cover later.
"Okay", Qiao Da looked at the piles of papers lined up on the chairs in the room, and his confidence increased, "You boys come here, let's get ready to start."
After speaking, Qiao Da directly started to pick up one sheet on each pile of papers in the order of page numbers, and put it in his hand. Qiao Da just wanted Hua Banxia to see if he was doing this right.
Hua Banxia read it carefully, there is basically no problem with this book in Qiao Da's hand, and he can directly wrap the thread. But Hua Banxia thinks that Qiao Da takes it from one to thirty, and it is not easy to arrange it in his hand, because every time he takes it, he has to insert it into the bottom of the paper in his hand, which is inconvenient.
Therefore, Hua Banxia suggested that Qiao Da could take it from back to front, so that each one could be placed directly on it, and the speed would be faster.
Qiao Da started smoothly here, Hua Banxia took Chen Jiahua and a few people here, waiting for Qiao Da to wrap up the first book.
The first wrapped book came, and Hua Banxia picked up the cardboard shells piled up beside him, and laid out a large cover and waited on the chair.
Pick up the brush and dip it in the paste I bought this morning, carefully smear a layer of paste on the paper shell, and then carefully paste it on the cover.
After pasting the paper shell, I smeared the paste in the gap between the two paper shells and the end of the book that was wrapped in the thread, and firmly pasted it into a booklet.
Hua Banxia knows that if such a booklet is not cherished, it is easy to open the glue, but if the paper shell is also perforated and wound, and then the cover is laid, the booklet will be uneven and ugly.
So for the sake of the delicate beauty of the booklet, Hua Banxia still decided to stick it with paste, at least the booklet is flat and smooth.
If the booklet can be successfully issued and the people can accept it, then Hua Banxia will issue a new booklet every three months, so the booklet strives to be exquisite, which is the first major thing Hua Banxia has done since he crossed over.
Sure enough, manual work can't compare to machines, this time the intended release of 10,000 copies, in the wrapping of the book and the packaging of a step, it took nearly ten days.
During this period, the merchants who cooperated with Hua Banxia without exception came to urge Hua Banxia, since the contract was signed, it has been almost forty days, and the brochure has not been issued, so they are not in a hurry.
Hua Banxia is already finishing up, and the merchants who came to urge each have a booklet, and sure enough, after reading it, they have more confidence in Hua Banxia.
No, the booklet has just been completed, and Hua Banxia has already appeared at the door of Cheng's Mansion with a few booklets.
Hua Banxia came this time, firstly, because he was not sure whether the issuance of the brochure needed to be reviewed by the yamen, and secondly, it was the same as the waterwheel, to record the ownership.
Because I have been here a few times, Xiao Si at the gate of Chengfu went in very happily to report, and after a while, a maid came to take the flowers and go in Banxia.
Hua Banxia was led to the main hall, this time I came early in the morning, Cheng Ming hadn't gone to the yamen yet, just right!
"Flower girl, what's the matter?" * Ming sat on the upper seat, drinking tea and asking about Hua Banxia.
In addition to Cheng Ming, Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Ze and Cheng Mo were all in the house, presumably just finished breakfast. It just so happened that Hua Banxia came over, so they all stayed to welcome guests.
"Banxia, is your grand cause about to begin?" Cheng Ze had long known that Hua Banxia had opened a shop in the city, but he didn't know what she wanted to do.
Moreover, there have been rumors in the city recently about what two-wheeled cars can walk without horses, and I heard that this thing is also from Hua Banxia's shop, which makes Cheng Ze very curious.
Hua Banxia smiled modestly, "Where, it's just a little fight, Cheng Gongzi has won the award", after speaking, he took out a few booklets from the cloth bag of "Tanhua Express" that he carried when he entered the door.
One by one, he handed it to a few people present, "This is the booklet I want to issue, and I want to record ownership this time", Hua Banxia did not ask if there were any relevant regulations, I was afraid that there would be no one when the time came.
"Brochures? What is this? Cheng Ze was a little confused, so he looked carefully at the booklet in his hand.
At a glance at this booklet, the cover shows a woman in a long red dress, the woman is standing on the shallow grass with a smile, and the mottled shadows of the trees are reflected on her, quiet and brilliant.
Such a simple and straightforward composition, but with a mesmerizing feeling. If you look closely, isn't this a sample picture taken on the mountain before Hua Banxia?
On the cover, there are four large characters written "Miss Huahua", and a line of small characters explaining copyright.
"Who painted this?" Cheng Ming couldn't help but ask, and also said the thoughts of the other three. But no one answered *Ming's question, and he didn't notice if anyone answered him, so he continued to flip through the pages.
Although the paper shell on the cover played a role in supporting the book, the ancient paper shell was not thick at all, and it was only the thickness of several sheets of paper stacked together, but the creativity was good, and the book felt great compared to those soft and collapsed books.
Originally, Cheng Ze thought that it was just the cover so colorful, but when he opened it, every small picture inside was also colorful, which was an eye-opener for those of them who were used to reading books in black and white.
The four of them opened the pages for more than a quarter of an hour, reading the contents of each page.
"Is this a drawing?" Cheng Ze couldn't believe it, this was exactly the same as a real person.
"Mother, I want to buy this, is this good-looking!" Cheng Mu really could see the essence the most, and it immediately aroused her desire to shop.
While Cheng Mu and Mrs. Cheng were discussing shopping, it took Banxia to explain to Cheng Zehe *Ming, "This is painted by a folk girl using realistic techniques, Lord Cheng, can a folk girl be recorded?" ”
Hua Banxia didn't plan to explain to them in detail what was going on with the painting, and directly shifted the topic to the record.
"Flower girl, can you explain what you plan to do?" Cheng Ming read the booklet, but he still didn't know what he wanted to do in Banxia.
Hua Banxia just saw that Cheng Ze did not turn to the last page, and the last page was written on the whole process of placing an order and delivering the goods. But since the lord of the government asked, Hua Banxia couldn't help but answer, so he kept telling Cheng Ming and the others about his business model.
After listening to Hua Banxia's introduction, Cheng Ming and the others were extremely shocked, this woman should not be underestimated, and her courage is extraordinary!
I don't know if the people can accept this model, but they seem to be able to accept it. If she can really succeed, then she will break the original rules of the business field and reshuffle the business model of Nancheng and even the entire Yunguo.
Cheng Ming really appreciates Hua Banxia more and more, she just solved the problem of water diversion for the villagers not long ago, and now she is doing business so specially, amazing, if she can really be accepted into the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Mansion will become a century-old family is just around the corner.
"Papapa", Cheng Ze couldn't help but give Hua Banxia some applause, "Banxia girl, I really didn't expect you to have such a mind, it's really ...... It's so admirable! ”
Cheng Ze admires Hua Banxia from the bottom of his heart, as the head of the shop, from the merchant to the merchant to the market, he has been in contact with any kind of business, but only this time makes him feel that doing business seems to be quite fun.
"Cheng Gongzi has won the award, and I would like to thank Cheng Gongzi for taking the folk girl into the house to cook, so that the folk girl overheard Miss Cheng's words, knowing that the young ladies in the city can't leave the house, but they like to buy rouge gouache, which made the folk girl come up with this method", Hua Banxia simply said the reason, which made people hear as if it was really like that.
"I see, can I buy it now?" Cheng Mu said excitedly that she had already taken a look at what she wanted to buy.
Hua Banxia raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and the assistant came, "Of course, as long as Miss Huahua's book is filed in the government, it can be officially sold."
"Really? Dad, hurry up and file it for the flower girl, you won't let me go out, I can always buy things at home", Cheng Mu complained to his father.
"Okay, ready, ready now!" Cheng Ming readily agreed.
After Cheng Ming dealt with his daughter, he turned around and asked Hua Banxia, "Flower girl, can you still ask for silver taels for this filing?" ”
Hua Banxia listened to Cheng Ming's teasing tone and asked herself, Okay, she knew that Cheng Ming was teasing herself, * Ming is only in his thirties and forties now, and he wants to put aside a modern, standard mature and stable uncle.
But Hua Banxia looked at Cheng Ze, who was older than herself, sitting opposite her, and felt a chill at Cheng Ming's vague friendship!
