The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 165: New products
This day is 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, three small, Big 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 has 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, and the warm sunshine sprinkled on the ground. Da Mao yawned with three kittens in his arms and fell asleep.
Bai Yutang squatted down and touched 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. Big Mao didn't notice it, and continued to sleep with the puppets in his arms.
The three kittens have not yet been alerted by 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 gave Bai Yutang a string of small fish dressed in wicker, and he handed it over to Da Mao.
When Bai Yutang went back, Da Mao had already found out 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, not knowing what was going on.
This place has always been safe and it has lived here with confidence, but why is its child gone?
Bai Yutang couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly he didn't dare to go over, but after standing for a while, he still walked under the wall.
Da Mao gave a miserable cry 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 a young age, they will not be 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 being familiar with their new home, Da Mao won't remember them. It should be said, long before that, not long after today, Da Mao will forget.
And now, Da Mao tilted his head to look at the little fish, seemed to understand, and bit the little fish.
But it doesn't understand, because soon, it drags 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 returned 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.
Actually, Yun Yanhui also invited a lot of friends to go to the "Good Burning Color" shop today 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 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 also here."
"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 it. We don't need to support the scene, it seems that Brother Yan 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 to do 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 against 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, why is it compared to 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 people to light the incense, and then clapped his hands. At this time, someone came out with a bottle of wine.
Including 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 amazed, because the wine jug had no lid, and it was one whole body.
The wine jug was poured, and 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, now everyone knows, this should be a new product launch.
Then you can see that there are small holes in the bottom of the pot, which are not blocked, but they will not leak.
"Isn't it all leaking out of the spout when you enter the water from below?" someone asked.
Boss Hao smiled without saying a word. Everyone knew that this was a trade secret.
Bai Yutang knew that there must be something in it, but he couldn't see it for a while. He looked at Yun Yanhui and found a smile on the corner of Yun Yanhui's 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!
"Is it because of impurities in the fragrance that it sinks?" 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."
Let's take a closer look, that's where the beauty comes in.
Between the mountains that originally stood 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 The ethereal air; 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 cigarette will flow down, hence the name. Like the backflow pot, it is a new product of our shop."
The scene was silent for a while before someone shouted in a split voice: "How much! I bought it!"
——This is regarded as breaking the current situation. Everyone scrambled to reach out and asked to buy one, two, three or four 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 okay!"
"Yes, that's what it should be!"
"This incense is too delicate, I should tell you to burn anything."
"...what to do, I want every one!"
……
Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce are probably the most calm people apart from the boss, mainly because they have known Yun Yanhui for a long time. However, it took a while for Bai Yutang to return to 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..."
I didn't say anything later, but everyone knows that it was to find the official's house to advertise.
Actually, businessmen point out that the biggest purpose of making their own things as royal offerings is to "advertise". If the royal family uses them, 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 is just a little more pure in advertising - 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, he feels that the official family The advertising effect is really good, even better than his laborious marketing...
And his success is entirely due to the 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 Hao Shao Se.
After the successful holding of the first International Food Festival of Daxiangguo Temple, Haoyaose successfully gained national popularity. And from this day onwards, from the day when the reverse flow pot and the reverse flow incense burner were released, Hao Shao Color 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 a heavy snowfall in the sky.
Yunyan looked back, "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, and I hope this winter will be better than last year."
There are many vendors on the roadside, with stalls selling 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 to their houses. under the eaves.
Yunyan went back to the three and 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 eaves.
Their footsteps stopped at the same time, 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.
Three big men helped and quickly moved everything.
The woman and the child saluted together, "Thank you three gentlemen, the slave family is very grateful."
Yun Yanhui saw the two children dressed in thin clothes, squatted down, and shook their hands, cold, and there were traces of work, so she asked: "In such a cold day, the lady should take the children back. , didn't the government distribute 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 at home who can't bear 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."
There are many reasons for poverty in this world, some are poor due to laziness, 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 her pile of needles and needles, 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 his hand back.
"I'll come." Yun Yan replied.
