Traveling through ancient times

"...Awei...you are suspicious...oh...never mind, just have someone check everything out!"

……

Here, the plaques of several stores were delivered. Gu Dalian personally directed the hanging of the plaques one by one and covered them with red silk. She wanted to open all three stores at the same time! But that was too stressful, so she decided to open the jewelry store first!

Although Hu Ge and the new apprentices did not make many new jewelry, Gu Dalian had asked Gu Xiaolian to use her customized waist badge to adjust a lot of goods from the main store in Shannan, and the money was transferred and put into the space!

These jewels have been placed in Fucheng Jewelry Store!

The gold, silver and jade wares taken out from the basement a few days ago were also modified by Hu Ge and his colleagues, and the lotus core logo was engraved on them, and then placed on the counter!

Wang Yingying and her team at the curtain shop made many samples according to Gu Dalian's drawings and hung them in several rows, which dazzled the people who looked at them. The curtain rods also came in various styles, all made of the finest wood and then painted!

There are also various door curtains, but they are more exquisite than modern ones!

This made Gu Dalian think of various bedding products, and this was just the next step of the plan!

The clothing store is also adjusting the goods in the space, and the workshop here is also running at high speed, so there is sufficient supply!

Zhang Jiaojiao is really a wonderful person. She divides the workshop process very finely!

Each person only does a part of it, and because they are experienced, everyone works very quickly!

The salary is related to piecework. The basic salary is one or two wen depending on how many pieces you complete in a month. If you do more, you will receive extra rewards. Twenty-eight days is considered full attendance, and you will receive a reward of two hundred wen. If you do not miss a day, you will receive another two hundred wen!

Generally, a first-class maid in a wealthy family can only get 800 coins per month, and that depends on her master’s mood!

Working here, I eat well, earn a lot, and am pampered by my family when I go home. Life is so wonderful!

The jewelry store uses people who have signed a life-long contract. They prosper together and suffer together. Everyone is loyal to the master. With Qi Shanhu and Hua Baozi as bodyguards for the jewelry store, nothing will go wrong!

On April 16th, after a wave of publicity, the jewelry store finally opened for business!

Because of this, Feng Qinglan held a flower-viewing banquet in advance, and invited all the wives and daughters of the prominent officials and wealthy families in the city to his house. He also sent out invitations to the opening of a jewelry store, and specifically stated that it was his adopted granddaughter, and invited everyone to come and show their support!

So, at this moment, the street was bustling with cars and horses. Fortunately, Gu Dalian had foreseen it and opened up a space in advance to park the cars and horses of the nobles!

Following a burst of loud gongs and drums, followed by the lion dance, and then after a shout of thanks, the city's official, Lord Guo Jing, gave a speech and unveiled the plaque, revealing a few large characters written in a flamboyant style!

"Lianrui Jewelry House", this time Guo Jing came forward to formally support Gu Dalian, and Feng Qinglan came forward, the backing of the Duke's Mansion is also very powerful!

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhongming's couplet was even more shocking!

First couplet: White stone produces gold, and the nine-sided jewels hide the veins of the earth

Second line: Orchid fields plant jade, and endless expanses of colored glaze dazzle the sky

Old Tutor Qin's disciples are all over the Dayong Kingdom. The current emperor and the crown prince are also his disciples. Just imagine who would dare to offend him!

As the sound of firecrackers rang out, Gu Dalian stood at the door of the store with a smile on her face and chatted with those who came to celebrate. She was then invited in by a well-trained etiquette lady. Today, the sales clerks from the clothing store and the curtain store were specially transferred here to act as guides!

The furnishings inside are similar to those in Shannan, but both the decoration and the items are much higher quality than those in Shannan!

All items inside are clearly marked with prices, and there will be no promotions this time. The hardware and software are now in place, so there is no need to do that!

Originally, those wives and daughters of officials were a little disdainful in their hearts. If it weren't for the face of the Duke's Mansion, who would come here?

I didn’t expect that the governor of the prefecture would personally unveil the plaque. This has a different meaning!

After entering the building, the last bit of underestimation was gone!

All that was in everyone’s eyes were the dazzling jewels. Although they were made of silver, the workmanship and patterns were rarely seen elsewhere!

On the second floor, the gold jewelry was even more exciting! The jade jewelry on the third floor and the coral jewelry on the fourth floor completely captured the hearts of this group of people. From then on, Lian Rui became famous!

When counting the accounts at night, the total business volume was as high as 32,100 taels, which was jaw-dropping!

"...Boss... I didn't expect there are so many rich people in the capital..."

This accountant was temporarily transferred from Feng Qinglan's family. Even though he had seen big scenes before, he could not have imagined that this young boss could be so generous at such a young age!

The point is, I've never heard of any business that can have a daily turnover of more than 30,000 taels. The Duke's Mansion has many industries, so the maximum income it can have is 10,000 taels a year!

Gu Dalian laughed carefreely. It was really easy to make money from rich families in big cities!

"Think about the cost of your stuff first, then talk about your net profit!"

Gu Wenzhi couldn't bear to watch it. His sister was simply a money-grubber. Her smug look was really unbearable to watch, so he poured a bucket of cold water on her at the right time!

Gu Dalian glanced at his second brother:

"Your sister is so outstanding, shouldn't you be proud?... Please allow me to be happy for a while... Haha... Second brother, when you and Lun'er pursue a career in politics, with a sister who is rich and powerful to support you, everything will be fine!"

Gu Wenzhi had a smile on his lips, he liked the way his sisters acted unrestrained and outspoken. Seeing them smile, it seemed as if all his worries had disappeared!

April 19th was a good day for the opening of Lianrui Clothing Store. With the foundation of the jewelry building, the business was booming. Also, because the clothes were novel and stunning, wealthy gentry from nearby towns also came to visit!

From then on, Lianrui clothing became the exclusive wardrobe for officials, celebrities, ladies and young ladies!

The turnover on that day was as high as 20,000 taels. Those rich young ladies bought several sets of clothes each, and the young masters were even more generous with their money. They not only bought sets, but also paid deposits for summer clothes!

On April 23, Lianrui Curtain World opened for business, which was like a heavy hammer, opening up a new understanding of home decoration for wealthy families!

Although this thing is not a commonly used item, it is also another source of income!

Gu Dalian added new bedding on the second floor, setting a trend in Henan County!

The new method caused the mattresses to be out of stock for a time!

The dazzling array of various bed sheets and quilt covers opened up a new understanding of bedding for the people of Henan Prefecture!

On the fifth day after the bedding shop opened, a pair of women came, probably a mother and a daughter. As soon as they entered the door, they shouted:

"You damned bastards... I bought your bedding, and after sleeping for one night, my mother and I woke up today with our faces and necks looking like this!"

"You are such a scoundrel! I don't know where you got that piece of junk from, but now we are in this state. Hurry and help us!"
