Du Yan was stunned as soon as he arrived at Hu's Hot Pot Restaurant.
I saw that this small hot pot restaurant was decorated in an extremely elegant way.
The trees at the door are lush and green, and the rockery rocks have unique shapes, just like a private garden.
In the middle of the foyer hangs Zhu Yuanzhang's inscription.
This inscription by Zhu Yuanzhang has been carefully framed by Hu Changan. It looks quite majestic and complements the entire hot pot restaurant.
The maid at the door saw everyone coming, and quickly and enthusiastically took them to the private room.
The series of services were so attentive that Du Yan was shocked.
Sure enough, the maids of wealthy families are different!
The elegant room is as warm as spring.
Under the arrangement of the maid, everyone took their seats one after another.
Before the food was served, everyone was chatting in small groups.
Suddenly, a group of maids filed into the private room.
The three maids at the head were carefully holding three strange things in their hands.
This is a sales team specially prepared by Hu Changan.
Although Hu Changan has tried his best to show things to diners, sometimes they may not even think of buying them.
After all, at the end of the day, Hu's Hot Pot Restaurant is just a restaurant.
In people's mindset, restaurants only sell food and do not sell various customized items at all.
It's possible that people were amazed and just forgot to place an order with Hu Changan while eating.
Hu Changan would not allow the money he got to fly away.
The leading maid slightly lifted herself up and said to the crowd: "Everyone, Hu's Hot Pot Restaurant not only sells hot pot, but also sells some other things."
"These three things are small models specially made by the owner for you adults."
"If it's a real thing, you can see it in Hu's hotpot restaurant."
"If you want it, you can contact us to purchase it."
Only then did everyone realize that what the two leading maids were holding were actually two exquisite small models.
These models are miniature models Hu Changan made from clay, specifically used to show his stuff to others.
After all, it was said that miniature models would be used for selling houses in later generations, so Hu Changan had an idea and asked craftsmen to make several models for preparation.
When everyone saw this, they were immediately surprised.
This is the first time they have seen such an exquisite model.
Seeing everyone's curious expressions, the maid cleared her throat and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, the first thing our Hu's Hot Pot Restaurant sells is this glass window."
"I believe everyone has noticed that our windows here have better light transmission than traditional screen windows."
"It only costs one or two silver to customize a window."
"And since we are newly opened, the owner has given us a discount. It only costs 500 copper coins to customize a window!"
"Limited to one month, first come first served!"
This is also one of Hu Changan's sales tactics.
After all, real benefits can move people's hearts more than anything else.
Limited-time discounts can also stimulate people’s desire to buy.
After all, if you pass this village, there is probably no store like this!
Impulsively, the probability of consumption will also be greatly increased.
As she spoke, the maid picked up the exquisite window model in her hand and motioned for everyone to look at the glass window at hand.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but marvel.
I didn’t expect this window to be so transparent!
They no longer have to worry about seeing clearly indoors!
At that moment, several wealthy ministers placed orders.
Although Du Yan was also very excited, he sighed after thinking about his deflated money bag.
Although a window only costs 500 pennies, there are at least a dozen windows in a house!
Added up, it's at least ten taels of silver.
This is Du Yan’s salary for several months!
Du Yan is not like his colleagues who can cause trouble and make a lot of money just by wandering around.
Du Yan was just a conscientious little official who really didn't have much money.
Seeing that all interested parties had registered, the leading maid also smiled slightly and showed the second thing to everyone.
"Everyone, this thing is called a faucet. As long as you install it at home, you can avoid the trouble of fetching water and washing hands."
"As soon as you turn on the faucet, water will flow out of the pipe continuously."
With that said, the maid directly opened an inconspicuous pipe on the side for everyone.
Sure enough, a steady stream of running water flowed directly from the pipe and collected into the white basin below the pipe.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide and marveled.
This was their first time seeing such an exquisite design!
The maid waited until everyone had seen it, then took a model from someone else and showed it to everyone.
This is a structural diagram of a house, which vividly shows the arrangement of various pipes and circuits if a faucet is installed in the home.
After all, in modern times, everyone pays attention to transparent processing.
As an ancient person who has never been exposed to this technology, it is natural to show them the technology in its entirety.
In this way, they will feel confident buying.
Seeing this, everyone gathered around to look at the model in the hand of the maid.
With this model, they instantly understood the structure of the faucet.
At that moment, some people started to think about buying it.
Seeing everyone's eagerness to try it, the maid also smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, this faucet may be slightly more expensive than the previous glass window."
"It costs thirty taels of silver to install a water tank."
"But as long as you install a water tank, you can install multiple faucets."
"Theoretically, if you want, you can install faucets in every room!"
"Now there is a limited time offer for installing faucets. For only twenty-five taels of silver, you can install a water tank!"
Although everyone was very interested, the high price somewhat dissuaded everyone.
This time, everyone's silence became obviously longer.
When Du Yan saw this, he could only look at the ocean and sigh.
Hey, who calls himself just an ordinary household clerk? Such a good thing may never be his turn.
But after a while, someone still walked towards the maid.
This man's name is Ding Peng, and he has always been a capable general under Xu Duo, the Minister of Household Affairs. It is said that he has countless wealth in his name.
Seeing that Ding Peng was the only one who chose to buy this faucet, the maid also smiled.
After all, the faucets and water tanks are indeed expensive, and most people can't afford them.
But what comes next will definitely make many people excited!
The maid cleared her throat and continued the introduction: "Everyone, what comes next is the last item for sale here."
"This thing is called briquettes, and it can perfectly replace charcoal."
"Although it is slightly more expensive than charcoal, it can burn much longer than charcoal."
