People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

After going to the government office and the old doctor's house, Cai Xiaolan originally thought of continuing to visit the businessmen she knew well, but when she got close to Babao Zhai, she saw the flow of people coming and going and became very angry.

"This bunch of thieves are not worthy of my personal posting."

He raised his hips and headed back home.

Now, there was a group of people standing behind her.Whether it is Huan Sha Tang waiting to open, Qi Ran Tang already open, or the three surnames' loyalty car dealership in the city, there is a group of clerks who can serve her. The total number of this group is 50 people.

She walked along the long street and exited the inner city gate.

Due to several tributaries of rivers passing through the city, Yangzhou City had no direct access to the inside and outside, so she made many twists and turns before reaching the west gate.The newly opened Sanxing Yiqi Automobile Dealership in Fengcang came into view.

"Uncle Toyokura, how are you? Is it open today?"

"Hey, there are two customers. One is still far away, to Chuzhou City." Fengcang saw Cai Xiaolan coming, and his interest was particularly high.

"That's great. It seems that there is a huge market for horse racing."

Cai Xiaolan nodded repeatedly.The idea of ​​traveling by car and horseback was derived from a thorough analysis of Yangzhou's economy.In economically developed metropolises, even if you don't have the technology you need or you have monopolized resources, you can still make money by selling your physical strength and doing manual labor.

"Uncle Toyokura, I have a small matter." She told Toyokura about inviting big businessmen in the city to attend the opening ceremony.

"It's a small matter. We still have half of the store's clerks working hard in the back, so just ask two of them to run errands!" Toyokura shot his chest confidently.

But after searching the house for a long time, I couldn't find a piece of paper suitable for writing invitations.

This made Toyokura's face turn red in embarrassment.

He had promised so emphatically just now, but now he couldn't even find a piece of red paper.

"It's okay, I've thought of a good way."

Silk itself can be used to write things. Before the price of paper was reduced, people relied on it to record text.Just cut the cotton cloth to the right size and use it as a silk book. It can also show the quality of your own cotton cloth.Thinking of this, Cai Xiaolan suddenly became interested.

He hurriedly said goodbye to Fengcang and returned to Tianfu Jucaiju with his creativity. After checking the status of Xu Xiaoqin's endorsement, he went to Huansha Hall and invited the female workers to come over and design the style of the silk book together.She herself hid aside and took out a book of "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" to see if she could copy one or two poems and use them as a gimmick.

This book was obtained by chance in a lottery. It is not only a collection of poems, but also has magical functions. When I hold it in my hand, my thoughts flow like a fountain.

you do not say?It didn't take long for her to find a few songs that suited her liking in "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty". She adapted them slightly and turned them into her own product:

The first poem is about cotton bedding: the wooden cotton bedding has not been collected, but the palm fan has been moved.And I like things and people, seeing each other every year.

The second poem is about the origin of cotton: The Kunlun family lived in Hai Zhongzhou, and barbarians came to visit Han Dynasty.Self-love's skin is as black as lacquer, and she takes off her kapok fur half-way through the journey.

There is something wonderful about the third poem, which writes about the two uses of cotton: recalling the silkworm cutting Xiaozhuo, and the butterfly flying back to the wooden cotton.Chu Si slightly felt that the bamboo branches were high, and half of the new words were written on tissue paper.

……

When she finished copying, Xu Yinlian outside sent five styles of silk books.Cai Xiaolan was optimistic about the last one, which was completely white but had a few strands of different-colored patterns. The inside was made of bamboo silk, which was generous and somewhat delicate.The blank space above is just perfect for putting pen to paper.

"Just this one!"

After Cai Xiaolan made her choice, she felt that others might not agree with her, so she chose a tacky red color.

The cashier and the clerk from the carriage shop arrived at the appointed time and came to pick up the things.

"Well, there are a total of eight white copies here, of which there are five in the government office, with names on them. There are more red ones, thirty copies in total, just send them to their shop." Cai Xiaolan originally said I was still worried that the waiter had sent the wrong one, but after seeing how the cashier was dressed, my heart dropped to my stomach.

Wearing a Zhouzheng hat, you don't have to guess that he is also a cultural person. "Don't worry, boss, I will personally deliver it to your distinguished guest." Mr. Accountant accepted the errand and returned to the city immediately without much delay in gathering money in Tianfu.

While waiting for the opening, Cai Xiaolan made another trip to the city. First, she invited Cheng Mushi to help make display cabinets and other furniture in the main building of Huansha Hall. Secondly, she went to Yingchun Building to sing a song. At the cost of poems and ten strings, two oirans and eight girls were hired to serve tea and water and put on several performances during the two days of opening.If she hadn't broken the trade barriers of ready-made clothing stores, she would have held a fashion show.

Then the charming Yingchunlou girls have become the best models.

……

The first ten days arrived quickly.

Although there are many things to do before the opening, it is still very busy.In the past two nights, all the workers from the two places and the guys from the car dealers came here, rushing to get things done. Except for Cai Xiaolan's technical guidance, she had no chance to intervene.Everywhere you go, you will be greeted by the title of "Big Boss".

This made her feel a little dizzy.

At the turn of summer and autumn, although the hot days have passed, the sun in the sky is still a bit fiery.As soon as the hour came, carriages came one after another.

"The owner of Shengshi Grain Store has arrived, and he is offering a congratulatory gift of twelve gold coins..."

"Miss Lu's family is here. I wish you a happy couple with a congratulatory gift..."

"Mr. Wang has arrived, and he has given two scrolls as a congratulatory gift..."

"The officer in charge of the Criminal Division has arrived, and I would like to give you a congratulatory gift..."

"The manager of the household department has arrived, and I would like to give you a congratulatory gift..."

"Boss Jia of Jiaji Incense Powder Shop arrived with his daughter to give a congratulatory gift..."

There were so many visitors, some of Cai Xiaolan’s red invitations were sent to one person, and some to one industry.

Cai Xiaolan was filled with emotion as she listened to the waiter sing the names, they were all old acquaintances.

"Li Songshan, Mr. Li, is here to give you a congratulatory gift..."

"Boss Luo of the ready-made clothing store is here to give you a congratulatory gift..."

Later, the clerk reported a series of names of cloth and garment shop owners.

Cai Xiaolan was startled when she heard the sound, and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "Good guys, the owners of the cloth shops and clothing stores in the city are here! The people who came here are not good, and they may want to give me a blow. It's just that Li Who is the member outside? I’ve never heard of him before?”

Rewinding time to ten years ago, a bright red silk book was delivered to the door of the General Chamber of Commerce of Cloth Shops and Clothing Stores - Luo Family Clothing Store.Boss Luo didn't pay attention at first. The weaving workshop where Xiaolan was picked was a foregone conclusion and there was nothing to discuss.After receiving the invitation, he originally planned to send two guys there to pick a handful of Xiaolan.

But that day, Li Laoliu happened to be on the street to inspect the property and found the silk book on his desk. He was immediately surprised by the material in the silk book.

He had never seen this kind of material, so he immediately called Boss Luo to confront him.

"Ah? I didn't pay attention. Could it be that this kind of material is produced by Caixiaolan Weaving Factory?" Boss Luo was frightened by his own thoughts.

"It's amazing. Xiaolan's cotton cloth is definitely a big enemy in the industry. Gather people together and let them all take a look at this cloth." Li Laoliu chattered his teeth.

He hates it!

I regret that I didn't go to the cotton conference because I was saving my face.

Once you make a mistake, you will regret it for a thousand days.
