It got dark early in winter, and when Yunyan returned to Kaifeng Mansion, it was already dark.
After they entered, they heard someone behind him shouting hesitantly, "Is it Brother Yan?"
This was clearly Zhan Zhao's voice, and Yun Yan turned around and said, "Guard Zhan, are you back from running an errand?"
"I am, what are you doing..." Zhan Zhao looked at Yun Yanhui's appearance, a little puzzled.
Yun Yan touched the earmuffs on her head, "It's cold, keep warm, this thing is used by many people in the north, and it's getting colder and colder in Kaifeng recently, so I think I can wear it."
Zhan Zhao was speechless, yes, it was very warm, but Yun Yanhui had half-knitted carrots on the left and right of Yun Yanhui's earmuffs. At first glance, he thought he had been pierced by a carrot and passed by. Woolen cloth.
Yun Yan touched the earmuffs back, "Haha, are you looking at this? As expected of a guard Zhan, with such good eyesight, you can't see clearly when someone passes by on the road. Is it interesting? I originally wanted to buy one. The one the knife came through, but someone bought it for a higher price."
Zhan Zhao thought to himself that there were more and more new things in Bianjing, and they became more and more peculiar.
"...Well, but, are Yutang and Mr. Gongsun next to you?" Zhan Zhao noticed that the two were standing beside Yun Yanhui, neither of them turned around, but it was clearly the two from behind.
Yunyan poked Gongsun Ce back.
Gongsun Ce kept his head down, and when he turned around, Zhan Zhao realized that although Mr. Gongsun was not wearing earmuffs, he had an extra pair of gloves on his hands. Unlike others, the five fingers of this pair of gloves were Separated, more conducive to activities.
However, the gloves are not only water red, but also have two bells on them...
Zhan Zhao was stunned.
But what made him even more stunned was still behind, Yun Yanhui poked Bai Yutang and turned around again, "And this, a mask can not only keep warm but also prevent dust, and if you encounter an epidemic, it can also prevent infection, after a few days You can buy it at Nanqiaotou, and the pattern can be customized on the spot."
Bai Yutang wears a cotton mask on his face, with a plain bottom, but the nose and mouth are drawn in simple strokes, a little pink tongue, and a few long beards, it looks as if half of his face is covered. became a small animal.
Zhan Zhao: "… "
Bai Yutang: "..."
Bai Yutang couldn't bear it any longer and took off his mask, "Don't go too far, I'm all here to take care of the family's mood, what's the use of you making these bells and whistles, just clean earmuffs and masks! The pattern, who wants to buy it!"
As if to clear his relationship, he said a lot of words in one breath, and explained it "implicitly".
Gongsun Ce raised his hand dejectedly and looked at his flannel gloves, but he was old and thick-skinned, so he didn't take them off, and said objectively, "Someone still buys them, don't you find that the ones with decorations are more popular? Especially small ones. Ladies like it, and a man like Brother Yan also finds it interesting."
Bai Yutang wanted to say no, but in fact, less than half an hour ago, he also witnessed a few samples made by the mother and daughter, which were snatched up at a high price by someone who accidentally saw it.
At that time, after Yun Yan returned to let him come, he began to describe to them what he wanted.
The prototype came out first, without any decoration, but Bai Yutang tried it and it was really warm.
Then, Yun Yanhui asked them to be decorated, and told them that they could be sold at a different price than ordinary items.
The mother and daughter knitted quickly with their hands and completed several samples. The passers-by were busy heading back against the wind and snow without paying attention. However, the shop owner who was hiding from the snow saw it and asked to buy it. It was the high price that took Yunyan away. Going back to the person who asked for "earmuffs with a knife", he thought that Yun Yan came back to buy things, but when he saw "there are only a few sets left", he was afraid that he would not be able to buy them.
Moreover, the boss paid a deposit on the spot and asked them to do a few more sets.
When Bai Yutang saw this scene, he was inexplicably excited.
- Of course, when the time turned to the present, he couldn't get excited.
Zhan Zhao's expression was beyond words.
Although it is popular to wear flowers and powder, but there is still a certain gap with this kind of dress...
Moreover, Bai Yutang deeply felt that this was all Yun Yanhui's malicious intent. Because among the three of them, Yun Yan returned the most normal.
"Actually..." Bai Yutang wanted to explain.
"I see," Zhan Zhao said immediately, "You must have seen the poor selling these. In order to let them sell out and go home earlier, you bought some."
Very caring and very caring about the mood of others.
Bai Yutang wanted to say again, but was interrupted by Gongsun Ce, "Even though it's not a hit, it's not far. Originally, Yutang wanted to give them money directly, but Ge'er Yan proposed to teach them to make something to sell. That's all, Look at my gloves, they are very practical. The materials are not very good. Brother Yan suggested that they use the deposit to buy some silk wool so that they can be sold to the rich."
At this time, cotton had not been introduced to China, and the rich people used silk wool to fill it.
"I also said that you can go to the academy for takeout at that time. The students' hands are stiff when writing in cold weather. If they wear gloves with split fingers like this, they will not only keep warm, but also facilitate writing." Gongsun Ce talked about the benefits of those handicrafts.
When Zhan Zhao heard it, he agreed with it very much, saying that he would buy some to support it in a few days, not to mention that it was actually used.
Bai Yutang, who was suffocated by all his words: _(:3"∠)_
…
The first batch of this kind of thing is the most profitable, because only one can sell it, and there will definitely be many imitations after that, and it will be cheap by then. Yun Yanhui also told the woman surnamed Mao about this, and asked them to make more at home for the first batch, and then sell them, so hurry up.
This will definitely attract the attention of some embroidery workshops. If you can take this opportunity to enter the embroidery workshop to do formal work, it would be even better. This is the real stable source of income, and embroidery women in Bianjing can earn a lot.
After about half a month, Yun Yan returned to the yamen who had been watching the patrol and came back with gloves, and at this time, Boss Hao had an appointment, so he called Zhao Yunchu to go with him to burn the color, and took a detour to see the family.
After the new product launch half a month ago, the products of the Backflow series have become very popular in Beijing, completely showing a state of short supply, and the scheduled orders have been placed in two months. Especially in the Bianjing area, some foreign businessmen are also booking in large numbers.
The principle of this backflow pot and backflow incense, as long as you are willing to smash the research, you will definitely be able to study it in a short time.
However, Hao Shao Se borrowed the fame of the royal family and took an advantage, and has already established the brand. Therefore, even if there are fake products, those who are a little pursued are still willing to order the pot and incense burner.
And today, in Hao Shao Se is actually going to hold a celebration feast.
Not only does Boss Hao want to celebrate the success of Hao Color, there is also a big happy event.
Before Yun Yanhui brought the backflow pot and the backflow incense burner to the imperial court, and the officials greatly appreciated it, Yun Yanhui also arched Shen Kuo out. The official family also knew his father, and later recruited him into the palace examination school.
A few days ago, there was an decree. First, it ordered Shen Kuo’s father, Shen Zhou, to go to Mingzhou as an official—it was a good place. The second is to ask Shen Kuo to be an official in the Ministry of Industry, and he will take up the post immediately. He has an errand before his father.
This is very different from what Yun Yanhui remembered. Originally, Shen Kuo should have been appointed to his father Yin as an official after his father died.
Anyway, the Shen family is very happy. Although Shen Kuo is going to stay in Bianjing, who doesn't want to stay in Bianjing
So, it's actually a double happiness.
When it was time to hand over, Zhao Yunchu came to Kaifeng Mansion to look for Yunyan to come back. The two went out together and inquired about it along the way. Because it was a rare item, he quickly learned that Mao was in Taixue.
Arriving near Taixue, sure enough, Mr. Mao was setting up a stall there. There were a lot of goods piled up on the stall. There were regular versions and deluxe versions. The deluxe version of gloves, earmuffs, masks, etc., were all sandwiched with silk wool. Moreover, she also provides tailor-made services.
Mao's two young daughters were "fully armed", wearing their own products, to attract customers in front of the booth, and many people were attracted by the cold-proof items on their bodies.
It is both practical and interesting, some cute and some funny, how to make people like it.
There are many students in Taixue, and there is a street outside where a lot of vendors gather, which is very lively, so although there are the most students and guests here, there are all kinds of people.
Mao's products sell very fast, and people will come to order them from time to time. There is even a student who sits on the side, waiting to draw different expressions or patterns on the masks. I don't know if they hired it or if they cooperated.
Standing on the side of Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu, you can see many people who just bought something and can't wait to put it on.
As a result, the street is full of people with all kinds of animal ears on their heads, or people who have been "passed through their heads" by various items such as carrots, swords, swords, and even bricks.
There are also masks on half of the face with various expressions, some cats have mouths, some are grinning, some are drooling, and there are even those who are pouting and kissing.
Some serious Taixue students are just wearing five-finger gloves that are not fancy.
Occasionally, there are "crazy students" masks with "No. 1 in the monthly exam" written on them...
These objects, written to prevent cold and read as cute, were unanimously welcomed by the people of Bianjing.
Modern items are revived again by the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, but there is no sense of disobedience, because the people of this era are so unconventional and fashionable!
…
After a while, seeing that there was a gap in front of Mr. Mao, Yun Yan walked back and stood in front of the booth. Before he spoke, Mr. Mao recognized it.
Mao's Yingying bowed down, "Benevolence."
"Miss Mao doesn't need to be polite." Yun Yan avoided and asked with a smile, "Is business okay?"
Mao's eyes were red, and he couldn't express his gratitude, "Okay, if it wasn't for your idea, I wouldn't be able to sell these things in a month. By the way, there is an embroidery workshop looking for me, I hope I can go to the embroidery workshop, and Put these in them and mass-produce them."
"Then are you still here?" Yun Yan asked back.
Mr. Mao said embarrassedly, "This is the skill you taught me, how dare I sell it without authorization. It's fine if I just go to work, but I want to sell these practices..."
"However, these are easy to copy." Yun Yan smiled back, "They just added it by the way. Even if you don't go to work, you will copy it in the future."
Yun Yan responded to Xiaozhi with emotion and reasoned, "It's a big deal, if I give you a 'patent fee', you can share it with me."
As soon as Mr. Mao heard this, he agreed.
She saw that although Yun Yanhui was wearing earmuffs, the little brother beside her was empty. She quickly pulled out two sets of masks, gloves, and a pair of earmuffs from the merchandise in front of her and handed them to them.
Yun Yanhui didn't refuse, but he only wanted a basic mask and gloves, then he smiled and said to Zhao Yunchu, "You can ask someone to draw you a howling mouth."
Ah, he began to laugh at Zhao Yunchu's love to cry.
