This day was Bai Yutang's day off. After he got up, he practiced in the courtyard. After practicing, he saw three cats standing on the wall of the courtyard.
One big one and three small ones, Da Mao with his children. Big Mao grabbed a kitten and jumped off the wall. The kitten on the top of the wall tugged at the edge of the wall and looked down, meowing.
Da Mao jumped up again and continued to take the other two down. Then lick their bodies a little at a time, and bring back the kitten that wants to run away from time to time.
The place where Bai Yutang lives is exactly where Da Mao is stationed, and Da Mao's nest is also here. The three kittens have been around for two months. Among the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, I have found three families who need cats.
However, everyone discovered that Da Mao may be a mother for the first time, so he loves the three kittens very much, never separates them, and sleeps with them every night.
Bai Yutang knew why everyone refused to do the job of sending the three kittens away. In the end, he was the only one left. At the time, he graciously agreed, but now he is a little hesitant.
The sun rose, the warm sunshine sprinkled on the ground, Da Mao hugged the three kittens, yawned, and fell asleep.
Bai Yutang crouched down to touch Da Mao, Da Mao just glanced at him, and went back to sleep.
Bai Yutang thought that Yunyan had given him something that he had thrown away, so he ran back to the room and turned over the elephant-shaped puppet—it is said that this was given by the Eighth Princess.
Bai Yutang gently pulled out the three sleeping kittens, and then stuffed the puppets in. Da Mao didn't notice it, and continued to sleep soundly with the puppets in his arms.
The three kittens have not yet had the vigilance of the big cat, and are still asleep after leaving their mother's arms.
Bai Yutang picked up the kittens, put them in the basket, and took them to their new owners.
The new owner, on the other hand, handed over a bunch of small fish dressed in wicker to Bai Yutang, who handed it over to Da Mao.
When Bai Yutang went back, Da Mao had already discovered that this was a steal. It was looking for kittens in the yard, but found nothing. It jumped up the wall and meowed again, but there was still no response.
There seemed to be a daze in Da Mao's eyes, and he didn't know what was going on.
The place has always been safe and it has been safe to live here, but why is its child gone
Bai Yutang couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly didn't dare to go over, but after standing for a while, he still walked under the wall.
Big Mao screamed miserably and jumped down.
Bai Yutang put the fish in front of it and whispered, "This is the dowry they gave you..."
It is easy for cats to leave home. If they are not raised from an early age, they are not familiar with them. Moreover, these three kittens have been weaned. Soon, Da Mao may start to take them out and drive them away.
And when they come home after they are familiar with their new home, Da Mao will not remember them. It should be said, long before that, not long after today, Da Mao will forget.
But now, Da Mao tilted his head to look at the little fish, seemed to understand, and bit the little fish.
But it didn't understand, because soon, it dragged the remaining small fish, ready to keep for the kitten to eat.
Da Mao searched for a long time in Kaifeng Mansion, but there was no trace. Finally, it came back, lay in the nest, hugged the elephant puppet, and fell asleep exhausted.
In the afternoon, Bai Yutang saw this scene from the window, wondering if he should be lucky to have the doll sent back by Yunyan. The way Da Mao was sleeping with the puppet in his arms really made him uncomfortable.
In order to get rid of such emotions, Bai Yutang decided to go back to Yun Yan.
In fact, Yun Yanhui also invited a lot of friends, and today they went to a "good burning color" shop to participate in an incense tasting session jointly held by them and the spice shop. However, on the Kaifeng Mansion side, it just happened to be Bai Yutang's turn to rest today.
…
Bai Yutang came to Hao Shao She and took out his invitation letter.
The idle man at the door saw it and immediately invited Bai Yutang in. Looking inside, Bai Yutang found that Gongsun Ce was actually there, so he walked up to him and said, "Mr. Gongsun, you are here too."
"It's Yutang, you're here too." Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, "Brother Yan told me that if I didn't come, I would regret it, so I came here. I thought it wasn't very popular here, but now I see that we don't need us. Support the scene, it seems that what Brother Yan said is true."
Bai Yutang thought to himself, is he the only one who thinks so much
They entered the back room together, the front is the place for business, and today's incense is in the back.
When I arrived, I found that there were many incense utensils with different shapes in the house, and they were very beautifully made. Some were surrounded by mountains, some were lotus flowers, and some Chang'e had her back on the moon wheel, all of which were different.
Gongsun Ce looked around with great interest, and found that many people present were both expecting and doubting, and were still discussing in a low voice.
"Didn't you say that this new incense vessel is a royal style?"
"Yes, I heard that the nobles in the palace have already changed."
…
Gongsun Ce doesn't doubt this. It shouldn't be bragging. Brother Yan has always taken the upper-level route, but he is very curious. How can he be compared with those palace workshops? Although these incense utensils look exquisite, they don't seem to be able to make the royal family amazed, right
At this time, Boss Hao came out. Seeing that everyone was almost there, he closed the door, ordered someone to light the incense, and then clapped his hands. At this time, someone came out with a jug one by one.
Among them was Yun Yanhui, who carried the jug to the table of Gongsun Ce and Bai Yutang, poured wine for them, and sat down.
When everyone saw it, they were all surprised, because the wine jug didn't have a lid and was completely integrated.
When the jug was poured, the yellow wine dripped out of it, making people wonder how the wine got in.
"This is an inverted pot." Boss Hao lifted the pot and showed it, "The water inlet is at the bottom of the pot."
- It's not so much a fragrance meeting, everyone knows now, this should be a new product launch.
Only then did everyone see that there are small holes in the bottom of the pot, which are not blocked, but they will not leak.
"If you enter the water from below, won't it all leak out from the spout?" someone asked.
Boss Hao smiled without saying a word, everyone naturally knew that this was a trade secret.
Bai Yutang knew that there must be a universe inside, but he couldn't see it for a while. He looked at Yun Yanhui and found that Yun Yanhui had a smile on his mouth, so he wanted to turn back and ask Yun Yanhui.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Hey, look at these incense!"
Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce looked to the side, they were originally immersed in the wine vessel, only to realize that, at some point, the incense burning on the incense vessel changed direction and began to float downward! However, at this time, there is clearly no wind in the house!
"Could it be because of impurities in the fragrance that it sank?" Someone questioned.
Bai Yutang also looked at the incense suspiciously. He didn't believe that Yun Yanhui would make such a mistake - no, Yun Yanhui was still smiling.
Gongsun Ce took a closer look, but concluded, "No, this is intentional. Look at the scene caused by the flow of cigarettes."
If you look carefully, you will see the beauty.
Between the mountains that were standing quietly, there are more smoke, like white clouds, wrapping around the mountainside, like a fairyland; the blooming lotus petals are also full of faint white smoke, making it a little more ethereal. ; Even on the moon wheel behind Chang E, who was originally a little dull, there are more strands of white clouds, like flowing clouds, flowing diagonally downward...
At this moment, everyone held their breath, for fear of breaking the beauty in front of them.
Boss Hao explained at this time: "This is a backflow incense. Moments after burning the incense, the cigarettes flow down, hence the name. Like the backflow pot, it is a new product in our shop."
The scene was silent for a while, before someone shouted in a split voice: "How much! I bought it!"
- This is the breaking of the current situation. Everyone scrambled to reach out and asked to buy one, two, three or four to go back.
Boss Hao's eyes narrowed with laughter, "Don't worry, this incense burner needs to burn special incense, I have to explain it to you first..."
"It's ok!"
"Yeah, that's what it should be!"
"This incense vessel is too delicate. If you want me to tell you, you should burn anything."
"...what to do, I want every one!"
…
Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce were probably the most calm people apart from the boss, mainly because they had known Yun Yanhui for a long time. However, it took a while for Bai Yutang to regain his senses and praised, "What a delicate incense vessel, what an interesting incense flow!"
Gongsun Ce also praised: "Brother Yan is getting more and more incredible, no wonder he can do it every time..."
I didn't say anything later, but everyone knows that it was to find the official's house to advertise.
In fact, the merchants point to making their own things for the imperial offering. Isn't the biggest purpose of "advertisement"? If the royal family uses it, it proves that this is the best. In this era, the royal family is the biggest national idol, attracting everyone to follow suit.
And Yun Yanhui just wanted to advertise a little more pure-heartedly—although he always said good things should be dedicated to the official family—it doesn’t matter to him about honoring his ancestors and making a name for himself, and he felt that the effect of the official family’s advertising was really exceptional. Well, better than his laborious marketing...
And his success is entirely due to the excellent quality! Officials are all willing to have wood!
Boss Hao found Yun Yanhui in the crowd, looked at him, and bowed from a distance.
Although I had long thought that it would be very popular, after seeing it, Boss Hao was still very excited. Looking at the leopard in the tube, just by looking at these people, you can know the situation after the new product is launched.
In fact, this day has indeed become a day for the soaring of the family brand Haoshio.
After the first International Food Festival of Daxiangguo Temple was successfully held, Haoyaose successfully gained national popularity. And from this day onwards, from the day when the backflow pot and backflow incense burner were released, Haoyao Color has established its status and force in the industry.
…
After the launch of the new product, Yun Yanhui, Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce returned to Kaifeng Mansion. When they walked out of the store, there was heavy snow with goose feathers in the sky.
Yunyan looked back and looked, "The winter in Bianjing is getting colder and colder."
The Little Ice Age has not yet passed, and there are still more winters like this.
Gongsun Ce nodded, "This year's relief has been distributed earlier than in previous years. I hope the situation this winter will be better than last year."
There are many vendors on the side of the road, supporting their stalls to sell things. Seeing such weather, many people packed up and went home. Only a few remained unwilling to leave. They just borrowed the eaves of the roadside shops and moved them under their eaves.
When Yun Yan returned to the three, he saw a woman with two thin and slender children who were struggling to carry things together, and went to continue to do business under the roof.
Their footsteps stopped at the same time, and then turned in a different direction, not in a hurry to hide from the snow or go back, but to help the woman carry things.
With three big men helping out, everything was moved in quickly.
The woman and the child saluted together, "Thank you to the three gentlemen, the slave family is very grateful."
Yun Yanhui saw the two children wearing thin clothes, squatted down, and held their hands, cold, and there were signs of work, and asked: "In such a cold day, the lady should take the children back, the government is not Have you distributed food and charcoal?"
The woman gave a wry smile, "The charcoal is only enough to burn at night. There are sick people and elderly people in the family who can't stand the cold, so I need to make more money to buy charcoal. The government has already helped some of them, and I have to do the rest myself."
In this world, there are many reasons for poverty, some are poor due to laziness, and some are poor due to illness. Listening to this woman's words, looking at the calluses on her hands, and the handicrafts of the goods on the booth, I'm sure it's the latter.
However, looking at the needles and needles she has piled up, the business is probably not very good.
With Bai Yutang's temperament, he couldn't see it, and when he touched his arms, he was about to give generously, but Yunyan held back his hand.
"I'll come." Yun Yan replied.
