On the second day, before Wang Ji Huafang opened, the door was surrounded by people.
It wasn't until half past midnight when the door was opened from the inside, and it was a tall girl. I was a little surprised to see so many people in front of the door. I heard that I was here to receive flowers, so I hurriedly told everyone to wait until she opened the store door.
The doors of this shop are all door panels, and they have to be removed one by one. Fortunately, the female boss is not slow, otherwise someone would have to come forward to help her.
The female boss went in and took out the flowers, and two other little daughters-in-law dressed as women helped. There was another looting, and there were no more than a hundred flowers.
There was that waited for a long time, and even came yesterday, but was not in a hurry to receive it.
The female boss said that I would return it tomorrow and come back tomorrow.
But people can't wait, that Liu Cuicui from the next door can wear flowers. She doesn't look as good as herself, so why should I slow her down? Wait for tomorrow, and tomorrow this momentum may not be able to lead.
Then spend money to buy it. Whoever lacks the money to buy flowers will force the female boss to sell the flowers to her.
When I heard that they wanted to buy it, many people immediately asked the price and said they wanted to buy it.
Just like that, the female boss can't stand it anymore, she can only say sell. Originally, her family was going to deliver for three days in a row, and she didn't plan to take out.
It can be seen that the boss didn't plan to sell flowers either, and he was still holding people to get them. He also said that he was not in the store, but kept them in the workshop. A group of people waiting to buy flowers were standing in front of the door waiting, densely packed with people.
There are people who pass by on the street. When they see people queuing up, they leave the alley. They are curious about what they are selling. When they hear about flowers, they think that there are still flowers for sale on this day
In fact, this kind of day is not without flowers, or it is very rare, and it will disappear before the eyes of the common people, and they are all close to those dignitaries. Some people are dismissive, some people are curious, and everyone has the will to follow the crowd, so they stand and watch the excitement.
Because there are too many people and it is too crowded, I am afraid that the flowers in the shop will be squeezed out, so only three or three can enter. After the first three are bought, the last three are added, and so on.
After finally getting everyone to line up, Zhao’er sweated profusely, so she and Xue Tao’er stood in front of the door to take care of them, while Lin Yanran and Chen Xiulan were selling flowers inside.
Chen Xiulan called her because there were too many people. In fact, there were still a few men standing behind the door, because there were women and Taoists outside, and it was not good for men to greet them, so I didn't ask them to help.
A head flower sells for ten cents, only the size of a baby's fist. There are even bigger flowers, the largest of which is as big as the mouth of a bowl, and this kind of flower sells for one hundred cents.
But it can't help but look good, vivid, red so conspicuous, green so watery, even the stamens above are bright yellow. After all, the capital is at the foot of the emperor, but there are no good things here, and the most fashionable appearances all over the country are here.
So don't look at these little wives and big girls in front of you, they all wear ordinary clothes, but they can accept trendy and fashionable things.
A little daughter-in-law took a fancy to a peony with a big bowl mouth, and asked the price and said that it would cost 100 yuan. The opening discount in the first few days was only 80 yuan. Although it was a bit painful, I still bought it with gritted teeth.
Lin Yanran handed it over with the flower. She wanted to find something for her to put it on. After thinking about it, she smiled at the little daughter-in-law, made her bow her head, and pinned it on the bun behind her head.
In fact, this little daughter-in-law looks very ordinary, with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and her complexion is pale, but she has a fair face. Wearing a lotus-colored jacket and a silver-gray skirt, she is very sober. But this flower hairpin is on the head, and suddenly it is different.
What a different law
She saw a bright red peony blooming beautifully, with petals layered on top of each other, graceful yet luxurious, and the hairpin was placed slightly below her head. It's a little sloping, and a little sagging, and this slant gives her a sense of laziness out of thin air.
Turning around, she could only see half of the peony from the front, but it was the half of the peony that was extraordinarily beautiful, which added a bit of charm to her face, a bit of beauty, and her eyebrows and eyes suddenly became vivid.
If you can only say that she is not ugly before, how can she be a handsome little daughter-in-law now.
Zhao'er took advantage of the situation to get a bronze mirror and handed it to her to take a picture.
"Girl, look at it, do you look good? Don't look at the expensive flowers in our family, but flowers are good flowers, and things are good things. Just rely on this flower, when you walk on the street, that is the focus of the big girls. "
The little daughter-in-law took a mirror and took a picture, turned her head slightly, looked to the left, then turned to the right, and the more she looked, the more she liked it, she couldn't help laughing, and said that her baby would know how to do it. Play the soy sauce, but also a big girl.
"Have you taken enough pictures? Come out when you have enough. We're still waiting to buy them."
"That's it."
The little daughter-in-law snorted, returned the mirror to Zhao'er, took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and handed it to her. Judging by visual observation, this piece of silver chip looked like at least a cent of silver, and it was reasonable to ask her for money, but she was very generous and waved her hand, just wearing the flower, and walked out.
When she walked to the little daughter-in-law who urged her just now, she even helped the flower on her head, snorted and threw a blank eye at the other party, and then left.
That appearance was really irritating, so angry that the little daughter-in-law came in and said, "Give me one of her flowers!"
When you have big things, you naturally don’t want small ones. It’s like having good things, you naturally can’t see the bad ones in your eyes. I originally came to buy the kind of flowers before, but in the end, the smallest flowers were sold very rarely, but they were bigger, especially the big flowers with a big mouth, which sold a lot.
Of course, some people have bought flowers, and they are interested in the flower arrangement with its own vase. This kind of flower is a bit expensive, three or four hundred yuan a bottle, but it also sells a dozen or two bottles, and they all say they buy it and put it at home. nice. Not to mention the two-hand-sized flower baskets, which are cheaper than flower arrangements, and are very bright and beautiful, so women usually can't take their eyes off of them. One hundred and fifty cents a basket, take it back and put it there to look good.
The business was so good that several people were too busy to do so, and Zhao'er was not greedy. It was estimated that the flowers were almost out of stock. In fact, she was really well prepared, she just said that on purpose.
Hearing this, those who were still waiting outside were all disappointed. Soon Zhaoer gave them hope again, saying that they would come back tomorrow, and another batch of goods would arrive tomorrow.
These disappointed people, after returning, did not miss the signboard for Wangji Flower Square, not to mention the moving signboards.
Women's family likes these flowers, and they will inevitably compare with each other. If you have it, I will naturally have it. If you don't have what I have, I will show it off in front of you. After going back and forth invisibly, they gave Wangji Flower Square a sign again.
Nowadays, if you talk about what is most popular in Dongcheng, the flowers of the natural Wangji Flower Square, and even other cities have heard of it, and they have come to buy it.
In less than half a month, there was a wave of wearing flowers in the capital.
Not only do you have to wear flowers, but you also need to wear large flowers in a bun, and flowers from Wangji Flower Square, so that you will not be more shabby than others when you go out.
Zhao'er didn't expect that a thought of his own would cause a wave, but he didn't need to go into details when he made a lot of money.
On the contrary, Chen Xiulan was a little sad, because everyone's attention was attracted by the first flower, but no one cared about her carefully made bonsai. Zhao'er told her not to worry, do it slowly, and study her craft carefully. The gold will shine one day, it just takes time.
Just as Wang Ji Huafang added a bit of splendor to the icy capital, some things happened in Chaoli. The most eye-catching thing is that the election of the CEO will be held in February next year.
The level of the test is different from the township test, and the grades are higher, and the people who are selected are all officials.
For this reason, there was another storm in the courtroom, and those senior officers fought openly and secretly without mentioning it, and at this time, Youde, the imperial priest and the young master of the prince, wrote a letter to resign and returned to his hometown.
After the prince's accident, Fu Youde first stayed in the palace and did not return, and when he left the palace, he stayed behind. However, he has always been low-key, and did not attract too many people's attention. The same is true for this resignation and returning home. The book was handed in the first day and approved the next day.
Almost without attracting much attention, this old official who has been an official for many years ended his career in such a bleak way.
No one came to see him on the day he left Beijing, maybe there was secretly, but it was not known on the surface. However, Lin Miao hadn't seen Zhanyan for several days, and Xue Tingxiang thought that there might be a result. Sure enough, a few days later, Lin Miao recruited a few students and told them that the master had resigned and returned to his hometown.
What this means, Mao Badou and others are not clear, maybe they are aware of the inappropriateness of it.
Only Chen Jian seemed to be very worried, while Xue Tingxiang sighed slightly in his heart after hearing it.
When something is popular, it is inevitable that some people will follow suit and imitate it.
You eat meat, others drink soup, and they even deliberately target them, wanting to steal the meat from you. The flowers of Wangji Flower Square were sold for less than a month, and imitations appeared on the market.
At first, only some scattered hawkers saw that the flowers of Wangji Flower Workshop were selling well, and they found the workshops to imitate them in private. In fact, this kind of flower is not difficult to make. Buy two and cut them open. After careful consideration, you can make them, so someone imitated them.
Because these scattered hawkers spread all over the city, they also sold a lot. When other hawkers saw the people in front of them making money, they naturally followed.
Everyone is playing tricks. In order to grab business, they even compete with each other to lower the price. If you sell it for 70 cents, I will sell it for 65 cents, and I will always take your business away. What's more, there are also high prices for the fake Wangji Flowers, which will not be described in detail here.
Just like this, you come and I go, those who are waiting to buy flowers are happy, and naturally they want to pick up cheap ones.
The business of Wang Ji Huafang finally calmed down after a period of fire. Usually only 200 are available every day, which is in short supply, and now even half of them are not sold out.
Lin Yanran and Xue Tao'er were in a hurry.
Especially Lin Yanran, she was anxious, and Mao Badou was anxious. This made the man go out to inquire, and when he came back, he was even more anxious. Mao Badou was screwed several times, and it was painful and happy.
At the same time as he was happy, Mao Badou said in a big way, he went to smash the stalls of those hawkers, and Lin Yanran hurriedly grabbed him again. Just for this trivial matter, the young couple crooked back and forth a few times, which is simply unsightly.
However, I was still anxious. I always had to find a way to get the business back, but Zhao'er was not in a hurry. After being asked a lot, he said that he had his own way and told them not to worry.
After looking for it one night, Zhao'er took them to make flowers, and specifically explained that they should do it in a rough way, only for style, not quality. Usually a few people make flowers, in order to make a name and start a sign, they are always striving for perfection and nitpicking. To put it mildly, if you buy a flower from Wangji Flower Shop and go back, as long as you take care of it, it will not be a problem to wear it for a few years.
Now that they have been asked to do rough things, the hand speed of several people is naturally fast, and it only takes one night to drive out more than 100 flowers.
Early the next morning, Mao Badou was sent out to find hawkers who were selling flowers.
Now the flowers of Wangji Flower Square are selling well, and the selling price is also low, so they are sold out quickly. Mao Badou even made an appointment with a few hawkers to deliver it to them tomorrow.
Lin Yanran was puzzled, but when she asked Zhao'er, she didn't say anything. After doing this for several days in a row, the business in the flower shop worsened, but seeing Zhao'er's calm demeanor, they didn't always ask questions.
During this period, Zhao'er also asked them to make new flowers, that is, paste gold or silver foil at the center of the petals. Not to mention, it's just such a finishing touch, and the whole flower is suddenly different.
Even Xue Tao'er and the others couldn't tell how they were different. All in all, with this little bit of embellishment, how dazzling the flowers looked. Two identical flowers are placed in one place, and they are brighter than those without the gold foil.
Just like this, no one could stand it for a few days. Not only Mao Badou protested that his daughter-in-law had lost weight, but even Xue Tingxiang glared at him.
Zhao'er is very guilty. She has been busy recently, so Hong'er was brought by Xue Tingxiang. Especially these few nights she was in a hurry to make flowers, and when she came back, both the man and the son fell asleep.
Seeing that it couldn't go on like this, she could only change her method and ask Mao Badou to find a workshop and order a batch of imitation flowers at a very low price.
Although the price is extremely low, but because of the large number and the approaching New Year's Eve, they all want to make a fortune before the New Year, so the workshop considered it again and again and took it.
Everything has capital, and when the price reaches a certain level, the workshops will naturally make shoddy things in order to make money for themselves.
And these shoddy imitation flowers, through the hands of Mao Badou, flowed to the market again. Zhao'er, instead of making no money, they rely on human and material resources.
