Chapter 61: Isn't That Settled?
After solving the problem of the shop, Gu Wanchao is now a little worried about the supply of goods.
The shop used to sell porcelain vases, and the decorations and displays inside were not suitable, and everything had to be rebuilt.
Gu Wanchao studied during the day in the past few days, and after returning from the school, he took Chunxiao and Xia He to the shop to check the situation of the shop to determine how the shop should be rebuilt.
However, what is bothering Gu Wanchao now is what to do with the batch of porcelain vases left by the owner to her?
As Wei Yuan said before, these are all white porcelain, without any pattern embellishment, it is too monotonous, and no one will buy such a thing that cannot be seen or used.
She looked at the porcelain vases on the shelves and was in a quandary.
"What do you think?" Xiao Yu'an, who came to the shop to check the situation after handling official business, happened to look at Gu Wanchao's sad appearance.
"I'm thinking about what to do with these porcelain vases, just sell them like this, no one will buy them, but if they don't sell them, it really makes me feel like I'm losing money by putting them in my hands like this."
Gu Wanchao frowned, stunned by these useless bottles.
"What's the reason why I can't sell it?" Xiao Yu'an looked at her appearance and asked.
"You see, this white porcelain is slippery, it's really not good-looking, even if anyone wants to buy it, it's just to buy one or two, so many porcelain bottles, if you rely on one or two to sell, then you have to sell it until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, I don't even want to call it a rouge shop, or just call it a porcelain shop."
"Since it can't be sold because it may be monotonous, why don't you make it less monotonous?" Xiao Yu'an gave her a suggestion.
Hearing this, Gu Wanchao suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Yu'an, and there was a feeling that his mouth was suddenly open.
"Xiao Yu'an, you are really smart, yes, these porcelains are too monotonous, so let's just add color to it?"
Gu Wanchao was enlightened for a while, and an idea was born in his mind.
Although Xiao Yu'an did mention this, he didn't think about it carefully.
Seeing that Gu Wanchao already had an idea, he asked Gu Wanchao, "How are you going to add color to it?" ”
"Well, I'll have to borrow your hand." Gu Wanchao looked at Xiao Yu'an with a smile, and for some reason, Xiao Yu'an suddenly had the illusion that he was being targeted by a hunter.
"Hands?"
"Yes, hand, you are so good at this hand, I still have the rabbit I carved last time, you say, how about carving patterns on these bottles, and then coloring them?"
But it turned out that Gu Wanchao wanted Xiao Yu'an to carve a pattern for the porcelain vase.
Xiao Yu'an saw that she was full of interest, and it was not easy to ruin her interest, so he responded.
"Go buy me a carving knife." Xiao Yu'an commanded the young man beside him.
After a stick of incense, the boy bought the carving knife back.
Xiao Yu'an took the carving knife and sat aside, "What to engrave?" ”
"You can carve whatever you want." Gu Wanchao couldn't think of what to carve for a while, so he let Xiao Yuan do it himself.
Subsequently, Xiao Yu'an carved a simple picture of the eyebrows on the porcelain vase, and after the carving, Gu Wan Chaozai carefully colored the picture.
"Look, lifelike, refreshed!" Gu Wanchao put this porcelain vase, which was completely different from before, in front of Xiao Yu'an, and smiled brightly.
Seeing that she was so happy, Xiao Yu'an shook his head with a smile.
"This does make the bottle look new, but this carved pattern is a meticulous work, so many bottles, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."
Xiao Yu'an looked at this room, not to mention that there were hundreds of white porcelain vases, and he was in trouble for a while, this Gu Wanchao couldn't let him carve them one by one, right?
"Let's think about this in the future, I have to see how much the porcelain vase carved by Zhuang Yuanlang can sell for." Gu Wanchao went out of the porcelain vase, and there was also a porcelain shop across the street, and he didn't know what Gu Wanchao told others, so the shopkeeper agreed that Gu Wanchao would put the porcelain vase in the store and wait for someone to buy it.
A quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper on the opposite side ran over, still carrying a bag of money.
"Sold, sold." The shopkeeper's face was delighted.
"How much did you buy it?" Gu Wanchao only cared about how much this bottle was worth.
"Five hundred wen." The shopkeeper put the money bag in front of Gu Wanchao.
"Girl, this has always been only painted on the porcelain vase, the carved pattern is the first time to see, this carving is really lifelike, the guests who buy the porcelain vase say that they have never seen it, they have never heard of it." The shopkeeper sighed.
"Thank you for the compliment, come, this is the commission promised to you, one hundred wen, put it away." Gu Wanchao took out a hundred yuan from the money bag and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the money and left here, Gu Wanchao looked at the white porcelain in this room, and his eyes were shining.
Xiao Yu'an saw Gu Wanchao, who was a fan of wealth, for the first time, and couldn't help but smile.
"Now it's time to tell me what you're going to do with these vases, right?"
"I have a friend, he is very good-looking, but he just doesn't do his job, except for liking carving, he can't do anything, you say, if I send these porcelain vases to him, will he rush to help me carve?" Gu Wanchao calculated in his heart.
"Looks like you're a bit unlucky to be your friend." Xiao Yu'an joked with Gu Wanchao.
Now that Gu Wanchao has found a way to deal with these porcelain vases, she is happy in her heart, and she doesn't care about what Xiao Yu'an said about her.
When night fell, Xiao Yu'an sent Gu Wanchao back to the Gu Mansion with the three masters and servants.
Early the next morning, Gu Wanchao ordered people to pack up those porcelain vases in several large boxes, and pulled one of them to Zhang's mansion.
When she arrived at the door of Zhang's mansion, Gu Wanchao excused herself to visit Gu Wanyin, but the little maid at the door didn't recognize Gu Wanchao, so she asked her to wait in front of the door, and then ran in to pass it on.
After a while, the little guy rushed back, followed by him, and Gu Wanyin, who rushed over excitedly.
"As soon as I heard that the little girl said that her mother's sister was here, I guessed it was you, and sure enough."
Gu Wanyin still has the gentle appearance she used to have when she was in the Gu Mansion, her face is ruddy, and she knows at a glance that the Zhang family treats her very well.
"Since you got married, you didn't say to go back and take a look, but I thought you were thinking about it, so I came to see you."
Although Gu Wanchao didn't come to find Gu Wanyin today, she was telling the truth, since Gu Wanyin got married, she had one less person to talk to, and she really missed Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanchao went to the backyard with a smile and Gu Wanyin, and the little maid at the door beckoned someone to carry the box of porcelain brought by Gu Wanchao into Zhang's mansion.
