The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 166: Cold Protection Tool (Part 1)


It gets dark early in winter. 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, so Yun Yanhui 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.

Yunyan touched the earmuffs on her head, "It's cold, keep warm. Many people use this thing in the north. It's getting colder and colder in Kaifeng recently, so I think I can wear it."

Zhan Zhao was at a loss for words. Yes, this is very warm. However, Yun Yanhui has half knitted carrots on the left and right of Yun Yanhui's earmuffs. At first glance, he thought he was pierced by a carrot. And it's over.

Yunyan touched the earmuffs back, "Haha, are you looking at this? As expected of the guard, with such good eyesight, you can't even see someone passing by on the road. Is it interesting? I thought Bought the one that came through with a knife, but someone bought it at a higher price."

Zhan Zhao thought to himself that Bianjing's new gadgets are also more and more, and more and more strange.

"...Well, but, are Yutang and Mr. Gongsun next to you?" Zhan Zhao noticed that the two were standing next to Yun Yanhui, and neither turned around, but it was clearly the two from behind.

Yunyan poked Gongsun Ce back.

Gongsun Ce kept his head down, he turned around, and Zhan Zhao realized that although Mr. Gongsun was not wearing earmuffs, he had an extra pair of gloves on his hands. The five fingers are separated, which is 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 you warm but also prevent dust, if you encounter an epidemic, it can also prevent infection, It will be available for purchase at Zhounan Qiaotou in a few days, and the pattern can be customized on site.”

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, which look like half The face has become a small animal.

Zhan Zhao: "..."

Bai Yutang: "..."

Bai Yutang couldn't bear it any longer and took off the mask, "Don't go too far, I'm all here to take care of the family's mood, what's the use of making these bells and whistles, clean earmuffs and masks are not enough? Now! Who wants to buy such a pattern!"

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. Especially the little 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 saw it by accident.

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, Yunyan asked them to be decorated and told them that they could sell them 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 in the wind and snow, but they didn't pay attention. However, the shop owner who was hiding from the snow saw it and asked to buy it. Zuo Yunyanhui asked the "earmuffs with a knife" to be made. He thought that Yunyanhui was here to buy things. When he saw that "there are only a few sets left", he was afraid that he would not be able to buy them.

In addition, 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 a little bit inexplicably excited.

—Of course, when the time turns to the present, he doesn't get excited.

Zhan Zhao's expression is 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 malice. 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 sooner, you bought some."

A very caring, very considerate approach to 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. These, look at my gloves, they are very practical. The materials are not very good, so 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 wealthy people used silk wool to fill it.

"I also said that you can go to the academy for takeout. The students have stiff hands when writing in cold weather. If they wear gloves with split fingers, they will keep warm and facilitate writing." Gongsun Ce talked about those handicrafts. the benefits of.

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 he really used it.

Bai Yutang, who was suffocated to death: _(:3"∠)_

……

The first batch of this kind of thing is the most profitable, because only one can sell it, and there will 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 will be even better. This is the real stable source of income, and embroidery women in Bianjing can earn money. A lot of.

About half a month later, 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 asked Zhao Yunchu to go with him to burn the color, and take a detour to see the family .

After the launch of the new product 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 already 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 Seok borrowed the fame of the royal family and took an advantage, and has already established the brand, so even if there is a copycat product, those who are a little after it are still willing to decide on the pot and the color. incense burner.

And today, in Hao Shao Color 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.

Previously, Yun Yanhui brought the backflow pot and the backflow incense burner to the imperial court, which was greatly appreciated by the officials. 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 to serve as an official - it's 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 was supposed to take 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 change shifts, 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 editions and deluxe editions. The deluxe edition gloves, earmuffs, masks, etc., were all sandwiched with silk wool. Moreover, she also provides tailor-made services.

Mao's two young daughters are "fully armed", wearing their own products, and attracting customers in front of the booth. Many people are attracted by the cold protection 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 there are many vendors. It is very lively, so although there are the most students 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 people's masks at any time. I don't know if they hired it or if they cooperated.

On the side of Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu, you can see many people who have 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 "passed through" 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" with the words "No. 1 in the monthly exam" written on their masks...

These objects, written to prevent cold and read to sell cute, have been unanimously welcomed by Bianjing people.

Modern objects are revived again in 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."

"You don't need to be more polite, Mrs. Mao." 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 weren't for your idea, I wouldn't be able to sell these things for a month. By the way, there is an embroidery workshop looking for me, and I hope I can embroider. workshops, and put these in them and make them in large quantities.”

"Then are you still here?" Yun Yan asked back.

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 have to sell these practices..."

"However, these are very 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."

Yunyan responded to Xiaozhi with emotion and reasoned, "The 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 Yun Yanhui was wearing earmuffs, but the little brother beside her was empty. She quickly pulled out two sets of masks, gloves, and a pair of earmuffs from the goods 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 wailing mouth."

He started laughing at Zhao Yunchu's love to cry.
