Xie Yixiao also gave the new shop a name, called Xizi Pavilion, which means "If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable." It is more suitable for selling rouge and gouache.
The separate store will be opened on the first day of October to explore the road first and see if the sales are good. If the response is good, Xizi Pavilion can be opened in November. If it does not meet the requirements, then it can be opened next spring.
.
There is also the matter of raw materials. There are a lot of flowers used throughout the year. She does not have a flower garden herself, so she needs to buy it from others. The main flowers grown in different flower gardens are different. Xie Yixiao ran several times and finally got it.
After talking about it, we settled the issue of raw materials.
The remaining medicinal materials can be bought in grocery stores or pharmacies. She asked Hongsha to make a few trips and sort out some lists with good materials and suitable prices. She would go and buy them directly when the time comes. If she needs them in the future
If the quantity is large, we can also cooperate directly with the other party.
With such busy work, it was the last day of September, and the next day was the day when the small store opened.
Mrs. Xie introduced a female steward to Xie Yixiao, whose surname was Fan. She was about thirty-six years old. The younger ones could call her Aunt Fan. Aunt Fan was neatly dressed, had a smiling face, and was always cute.
He smiles, he seems to be very talkative, and he is also eloquent.
This was someone Mrs.
Now that it's open, we just need to recruit a few more.
Xie Yixiao had people drive a carriage to deliver the goods to the store. Then he had people put them out one by one, and gave the price list to Fan Gu and the two female clerks.
These two girls, one named He Chunxi and the other Du Mingyue, are sisters who grew up together. They have worked in other stores before, but they used to sell fabrics and their mouths are sweet, so they only need a little help.
"There is a used set, which is in the box below. When customers say they want to try it, you can try it on them. If they are not busy, you can give them a bun and tidy it up. It must be
Make the other person feel much more beautiful."
"If someone wants to negotiate the price, just say you can't. Tell them that if they buy more, they can get a free gift."
He Chunxi covered her mouth and smiled: "Master, don't worry, we have written it all down, and we will treat the guests obediently."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "No matter how the other party is dressed, you must be polite. When you come, you are a guest."
Fan Gu said: "Don't worry, girl, as long as I keep an eye on you, nothing will happen to you."
Xie Yixiao was a little worried. After all, it was the first time she opened a store in ancient times, and she didn't know whether it would be successful. Moreover, she had been preparing for so long and spent a lot of thought.
A few days ago, when He Chunxi, Du Mingyue and Fan Gu came to work, she gave them a set of everything in the shop and told them to try it out to know which items were good and which.
Xie Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there's Aunt Lao Fan. It's my first time to open a store, so I'm really worried."
Fan Gu nodded: "This is my duty."
Xie Yixiao invited her: "Aunt Fan is going to Chang'an Tower to sit and have some tea?"
Fan Gu shook her head and refused: "No, there is a lot going on in this shop. I will have tea with the girl another day."
If you have time to drink tea, it means the shop is running well.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Then I will wait for the opportunity to invite Aunt Fan to tea. Aunt Fan will definitely reward me when the time comes."
Fan Gu smiled and said, "Definitely."
Xie Yixiao didn't stay long, unloaded the goods, gave the list to Fan Gu, and then said goodbye and left.
She first married Yucuige and looked at the engagement token she had made before. It had been a while since the news came from Yucuige. Rong Ci didn't have time to come over to see it, and neither did Xie Yixiao, so they kept delaying.
Fortunately, the matter of getting married was not urgent. Xie Yixiao was impulsive in the past and dared to ask Rong Ci when he would marry her home. Now that he is rational, he feels that he can put it off as long as he can and will never dare to mention it again.
She will only turn 16 in the first month of next year. She is really still a little girl. It is really not good to marry too early.
When she came to Yucui Pavilion, she suddenly remembered this matter. She didn't send anyone to tell her. The steward came to entertain her in a hurry and said that Master Yu had gone out. He could only let her take a look. If she wanted to make any changes, she would have to wait for Master Yu.
When she came back, she told Master Jade in person.
Xie Yixiao had no objection to this, so he looked at the jade pendants first. There were two pairs of jade pendants, both carved with white jade. One pair was a cat. One cat curled up in a circle, holding its tail and taking a nap.
Butterflies flutter and look full of energy.
Xie Yixiao touched these two jade pendants and couldn't put them down. She thought they were both very cute and beautiful. Mr. Jiu's painting was good, and Master Yu's craftsmanship was even better. She felt that there was nothing to change.
The other pair are jade tablets. One is a girl in white riding a white leopard down the mountain, and the other is a young master playing the harp under the harp. They are also very good. They are indeed made by a famous jade craftsman in the imperial city.
Seeing that she seemed very satisfied, the steward 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 were no flaws after the first look. If he was satisfied, he shouldn't change it. This is jade, and you can't regret it if you use the knife. If you are not as satisfied as you were the first time after changing it over and over, then it's over.
The manager liked this kind of customers who didn't need to make any changes. He immediately smiled and said, "Miss Xie is satisfied. That's the best. Then I will ask Duke Rong's mansion when they will pick up the jade pendant."
"By the way, there are still a lot of leftovers from the jade material. Do you want Miss Xie to make some jewelry?"
The steward brought the scraps over. Since they were two pieces of jade, they were packed in two boxes.
Xie Yixiao didn't do any research on this, and couldn't figure out what jewelry he lacked, so he said, "You just have to figure it out. Just do whatever you can."
The steward smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let Master Yu take care of it and give Miss Xie two more beautiful pieces of jewelry."
"Then it'll be hard work."
Xie Yi smiled and thanked the steward, and then asked someone to pack up the pair of jade tokens and take them away. The jade pendants were for engagement, and they had to wait to be picked up from Rong Guogong's mansion. When the time came, they would close the eight characters and carve the jade pendants with the Chinese characters.
, send it to the temple to offer incense, in order to wish the couple a happy love.
The jade tokens were made in large quantities and she could take them away. She thought about going back and weaving a pair of wishful knots to tie them, so that she could give them to Rong Ci when she saw him next time.
I just don’t know when we will meet next time.
Xie Yixiao sighed softly.
The next day was the first day of October, and the Imperial City, which had been silent for nine months, began to become lively. Various happy events began to be scheduled, and there seemed to be suddenly more and more understanding people on the streets.
The small store in Xizi Pavilion has finally opened.
"Aunts and girls, the Xizi Pavilion store is opening today, come and take a look~"
