Chapter 258: Xizi Pavilion opens
Xie Yixiao also gave the new shop a name, called Xizi Pavilion, which means 'if you want to compare West Lake with Xizi, it is always appropriate to apply light makeup and heavy makeup', which is still more suitable for selling rouge gouache.
On the first day of October, the store that was separated from the first to explore the way to see if the sales were good, if the response was good, Xizige could be opened in November, if it did not meet the requirements, then it would open again next spring.
There is also the matter of raw materials, there are a lot of flowers used throughout the year, she doesn't have a flower garden herself, she needs to buy it in the hands of others, the flowers planted in different flower beds are different, Xie Yixiao ran several times, and finally talked about it, and solved the raw materials.
The rest of the medicinal herbs can be bought in grocery stores or pharmacies, she asked Hongsha to run a few times, sorted out some lists of good materials and suitable prices, and went to buy them directly when the time came, and if the amount needed was large in the future, she could also cooperate directly with the other party.
It was the last day of September, and the next day was the opening of the store.
Mrs. Xie introduced Xie Yixiao to a female housekeeper, surnamed Fan, about thirty-six years old, the younger can call her Aunt Fan, Aunt Fan is neatly dressed, has a smiling face, always loves to laugh, looks very good at talking, and can speak well.
This is still the person that Mrs. Xie pried back from other places for her, the treatment is not low, Xie Yixiao was very satisfied after seeing it, and also chose two female guys to watch the store, temporarily use these two, and when Xizige opens in the future, just recruit a few more.
Xie Yixiao asked people to drive the carriage and deliver the goods to the storefront, and then asked people to put them on the same way, and gave the price list to Aunt Fan and the two female guys.
These two girls, one named He Chunxi and the other named Du Mingyue, are sisters who grew up together, and they used to do it in other stores, but they used to sell fabrics, and their mouths were sweet, so they just needed to mention it.
"There is a set of used, in the box below, when a guest says to try, you will try it for them, if they are not busy, then give each other a bun, clean up, be sure to make the other party feel much more beautiful."
"If anyone wants to bargain, say no, and tell them that if they buy more, they will get a gift."
He Chunxi covered his mouth and smiled: "Owner, don't worry, we have all written it down, and we will definitely entertain the guests comfortably." ”
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "No matter how the other party is dressing, you have to be polite, you are a guest when you come." ”
Aunt Fan said: "Girl, don't worry, with me watching, nothing will happen." ”
Xie Yixiao was a little worried in her heart, after all, it was the first time she opened a store in ancient times, and she didn't know if it would be successful, and she had been preparing for so long and spent a lot of thought.
A few days ago, when it was determined that He Chunxi, Du Mingyue and Aunt Fan would come over to do things, she gave them a set of things in the shop, and asked them to give it a try and know what was good.
Xie Yi smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there is Aunt Lao Fan, I opened a store for the first time, and I was really worried." ”
Fan Gu nodded: "This is my business." ”
Xie Yixiao invited her: "Aunt Fan wants to go to Chang'an Building to sit and have a cup of tea?" ”
Aunt Fan shook her head and refused: "No, there are a lot of things in this shop, and I will have tea with the girl another day." ”
If you have time to drink tea, it means that the shop is doing well.
Xie Yi smiled: "Then I will wait for the opportunity to invite Aunt Fan to tea, and Aunt Fan must appreciate her face at that time." ”
Aunt Fan smiled and said, "Definitely." ”
Xie Yixiao didn't stay long, unloaded the goods, and gave the list to Aunt Fan, and then said goodbye and left.
She first went to Yucui Pavilion to see the fixed relatives she had made before, and it had been a few days since the news came from Yucui Pavilion, and Rong Ci didn't have time to come and see, and Xie Yixiao didn't either, so she kept delaying.
Fortunately, the matter of getting married is not in a hurry, Xie Yixiao was impulsive before, and dared to ask Rong Ci when he would marry her home, but now that his reason is back, he feels that he can delay it, and he will never dare to mention it again.
She will only turn sixteen in the first month of next year, and she is really still a little girl, and it is really not good to marry too early.
She came to Yucui Pavilion and suddenly remembered this, she didn't send someone to say it, the steward hurriedly came to entertain, and said that Master Yu went out, so she could only let her see, if she wanted to change, she had to wait for Master Yu to come back, she personally said to Master Yu.
Xie Yixiao had no opinion on this, so he looked at the jade pendant first, the jade pendant is two pairs, both carved with white jade, one pair is a cat, one cat is curled into a circle, holding its tail and napping, and the other is fluttering butterflies, looking full of vitality.
Xie Yi smiled and touched these two jade pendants, a little bit of a lot, she felt that they were so cute and good-looking, Jiugongzi painted well, and Master Yu's craftsmanship was even better, she felt that there was nothing to change.
The other pair is a jade plate, one is a girl in white who rides a white leopard down the mountain, and the other is a son, Matsushita Fuqin, which is also very good, worthy of being made by a famous jade craftsman in the imperial city.
When the steward saw that she seemed to be very satisfied, he asked her, "What do you think, Miss Xie?" ”
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "I think it's good, no need to change it." ”
Xie Yixiao felt that there was no flaw in the first time, and if he was satisfied, he should not change it, this is jade, he can't regret it if he moves the knife, if he changes it, it is not as good as the first time, then it will be over.
The steward liked this kind of guest who didn't need to be modified, and suddenly smiled: "Miss Xie is satisfied, that's the best, and when the time comes, I'll ask the Rongguo Mansion when they will come to get the jade pendant." ”
"By the way, there are still a lot of leftovers in that jade, do you want to make some jewelry?"
The steward brought the leftovers, and because they were two pieces of jade, they were contained in two boxes.
Xie Yixiao didn't study this, and he couldn't think of what jewelry he lacked, so he said: "You can do it and see what you can do." ”
The steward smiled: "That's okay, I'll let Master Yu look after it, and then add two more beautiful pieces of jewelry to Miss Xie." ”
"Then it's hard work."
Xie Yi smiled and thanked the steward, and then asked people to pack the pair of jade cards and take them away, the jade pendant is used by the family, and you need to wait for the Rongguo Mansion to get it.
The jade plate is a lot to do, she can take it away, she thought to herself that she would go back and weave a pair of wishful knots and tie them, and when she saw Rong Ci next time, she could give it to him.
I just don't know when we'll meet next.
Xie Yixiao sighed softly.
The next day was the first day of October, and the imperial city, which had been silent for a month, began to be lively, and all kinds of happy events began to be scheduled, and the streets seemed to suddenly have a lot more people.
The small storefront of Xizi Pavilion has finally opened.
"Aunts, girls, the Xizige store is open today, come and take a look~"
