In the weather of the twelfth lunar month, even in Hangzhou in the south, you can feel a bone-chilling cold. Even if a breeze blows, it will seem like countless ice drills are drilling into every exposed pore. Especially the "wet and cold" in the south is different from the dry and cold in the north. Chilblains can often develop on people's hands and ears inadvertently.
Although Chen Yue was wrapped up tightly inside and out, he still walked on the street and clasped his hands. Just now, he and Han Qiniang stood awkwardly in the room for half a quarter of an hour at the Han family. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other, and they were shy because of their engagement, so they were not very open about talking. After carefully explaining the uses and functions of flower dew, After that, he said goodbye and left the Han Mansion.
Not far from Qianfang Market, there is a Chen's store. There is a piece of cloth about three or four feet in front of the door, and a group of people are surrounding it, all looking like they are sniffing something.
This was arranged by Chen Yue before. He just arranged for people to sprinkle strong-scented toilet water on the cloth every one or two hours. Other than that, everything was kept secret. Even the shopkeepers in the shop didn't know about it. Affection.
As the young master of the Chen family, maybe if he asks for some shops from his family now, his family may not agree easily, but if he makes some small requests to the shopkeepers of several shops, they will not be rejected. Maybe there will be some behind the scenes. Criticism, but obviously he wanted to give his young master some face, although the relevant shop assistants couldn't figure out what Chen Yue wanted to do.
In addition, Chen Yue also arranged a series of other follow-ups, including wooden bottles with "trademark" engravings and so on. Of course, in this era, unlike later generations, an original wooden bottle may not be more upscale than a white porcelain bottle without any pattern decoration. On the contrary, the production price was more than half cheaper, but he gave away all the first batch of white porcelain bottles of toilet water. Needless to say, within the Chen family, the Han family and other former friends, in short, could be expected to have the influence of status. He was prepared for those who had the strength and connections to get along with them, but naturally they could not be as numerous as the Han family.
The total cost of ten guan was spent on more than 30 white porcelain vases, which cost three guan and two hundred yuan. In addition to the materials and other expenses, the ten guan capital has been all spent, and the remaining toilet water He also took out the waste materials that had failed to be boiled before and put them on canvas for advertising, and he also owed money for two multi-wooden bottles - the seller was not willing to give him credit for this amount of money. It is said that his predecessor's reputation was too bad, and later there was no way to record it in Chen Qi's name. At first, Chen Qi was unwilling, but Chen Yue gave him a lesson with the momentum of his elders, and then warned him in a persuasive way, which probably means "I can't tolerate you not taking some responsibility even if you get on a pirate ship", "You can be a bitch with peace of mind after setting up a memorial arch", etc. He reluctantly came forward.
Fortunately, the toilet wine that was made before was all made from the wine that Chen Qi brought. It won¡¯t be long before the batch that Chen Yue originally brewed will be out, so there is no need to worry about running out of goods to sell. It¡¯s the twelfth lunar month of winter, and many of the functions of toilet water, such as repelling mosquitoes and repelling insects, dispelling summer heat and refreshing the mind, cannot be fully realized. Moreover, the type with mint added may not be easy to sell at this time, and it has not caught up with large-scale products such as Lantern Festival. Holidays are not really the peak sales season for toilet water, so there is no big problem if the initial quantity is smaller.
There was a slight commotion in the cloth-covered crowd in front, as if someone was curious and asked the store but was dissatisfied when they didn't get a reply. Chen Yue walked over with hot air in his hands, as if all this had nothing to do with him. For him, the bigger the noise, the better. Before expanding the scale, "Hua Lu" can only take the high-end route. Most of these people are not his target group, but they still need their momentum to achieve the advertising effect. Only when the time comes will it be possible to lower the price. After the price is really lowered, toilet water that can repel mosquitoes and repel insects is still quite beneficial to the people under the current medical conditions. It can also be regarded as giving back to society, but after all, now The most important thing is to develop yourself first so that you can talk about those things.
Along the way, I paid a little attention to the several shops of the Zheng family that I had learned about earlier. The Zheng family has extensive fields, and the largest industry in the city is related to the grain store, followed by a store similar to the "Hongyun Building" Restaurants, restaurants, and various other industries are more or less involved, but none of them are popular. I was casually observing and thinking about it for a while, but suddenly I bumped into a strong man in front of me. The big man almost knocked him to the ground.
"You bastard, stop running away!"
As soon as Chen Yue stood firm, seven or eight people chased him out from behind. They seemed to be the gangsters in this area.
The big man bumped into Chen Yue and almost tripped to the ground. Seeing that the people behind him were chasing after him, it was too late to run away. He glanced at Chen Yue and ran to the small stall next to him. He didn't know where to get it from. Just a stick and he turned around to fight.
The seven or eight people behind were chasing after them empty-handed, and for a while they couldn't find any "soldiers" who could take advantage of them.Weapon." Seeing the ferocious look on the big man's face, he stopped in front of him. He didn't dare to rush up to him. He just stood in the middle of the road and kept yelling curses.
The big man waved a wooden stick in his hand, and did not show any weakness in his mouth. He kept swearing back. The two sides were in a stalemate here, and some people watching the fun gradually gathered around, blocking the road.
Chen Yue rubbed his sore shoulder after being hit, and looked around. It seemed that it would be difficult to pass through this road. After suffering such an unreasonable disaster, there was really nothing he could do. What if the two sides started to move and stood still? It was inevitable that this place would be affected again, so I had to turn around and take a long detour to the side alley.
The small alley next to it is full of houses where people in the city live. The land price near Fangshi is not cheap. Most of the people who can afford it have built two-story buildings, and those facing the alley have windows.
One of the windows opened with a "squeak", and a woman was holding a fork in her hand. She slipped with an "ah" sound for some reason, and the fork fell down and hit Chen Yue on the head.
Chen Yue had just been hit by someone, and his shoulder was still aching. He didn't want to be hit on the head with a stick again. "If the tiger doesn't show off its power, does it think I'm easy to bully?" He roared in his heart and was about to explode, but when he looked up, he saw an enchanting figure above him. The woman, I don¡¯t know if it was because there was a stove at home for heating, but her clothes were a little thin. She leaned forward slightly and opened her clothes slightly, revealing a hint of white on her chest. She was smiling and apologizing to him, "The slaves lost their control for a moment. Is the officer in pain?"
Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, why did this scene look so familiar?
Suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he raised his head and shouted excitedly to the woman above: "Is that Sister Jinlian upstairs?"
I'm really sorry. I didn't have a computer when I went back to Jinhua last night. I rushed back to Hangzhou today after sweeping the tomb and having lunch. I was a little late and I'm just typing it out now. . .
