Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Manager Zhao paused and continued to add,

“After all, this wine has never appeared in Shangjing.

So I plan to order a batch to see if everyone likes it.

Moreover, since there were more roasted nuts in the mansion this year, the old lady added them in.

I came here today to talk about this matter.

And besides, this wine..."

Manager Zhao explained it in detail again. He always had to make the reasons clear so that it would be easier for others to plan and prepare.

"Oh? New Year's goods?" Gu Yan couldn't help but think of the things Gu Qingzhi had been preparing at home recently. The licorice olives she made a few days ago were very good, and so was the red date and yam cake.

He was thinking about some of the things involved.

"Manager Zhao, is this urgent?"

"Yeah, it's pretty urgent. We have to finalize it at the beginning of the month, and start our journey in the middle of the month, otherwise I'm afraid we'll miss it."

Manager Zhao responded, "This wine looks very good to me."

Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Manager Zhao quickly brought it back.

"Then how much does your family plan to order?" Gu Yan asked the most crucial question.

Giving gifts, could the people who gave gifts to the Zhao family be ordinary people?

Gu Yan suddenly realized that this was a great opportunity.

“We sent New Year gifts to 145 households.

After all, the old lady is the elder, and those families who need to go through festival gifts have already been carefully selected. "

In short, good relationships must be maintained.

Gu Yan tapped the table with his right hand. "If each household gets one kilogram, it would be 145 kilograms."

Manager Zhao laughed out loud: "Brother Gu, let me give you a rough idea first.

Suppose our old lady ordered your wine as a New Year gift.

It definitely wouldn’t be as little as one pound.”

Their old lady would never do such a petty thing.

Gu Yan humbly asked for advice, "Brother Zhao, please tell me the truth. After all, you know that this wine belongs to my friend. I am just a messenger.

And you should know the price of this wine, right? "

"I understand! I understand! The price for Old Man Zhu is 3 guan per jin. I know this clearly.

Don't worry, Brother Gu. This wine needs to be at least four or five kilograms. If you have good relationships, the price may be even higher!

Price is not an issue.”

On ordinary days, the budget for each household for festival gifts is over a hundred strings of silver, not to mention the New Year gifts, which would definitely double the budget.

"Brother Gu, I won't hide it from you. Originally, the New Year's gift had been decided long ago.

Some of the expensive medicinal herbs are on the list.

But some problems occurred during transportation.

The old lady was worried that she would not be able to deliver the gift in time, so she asked us to prepare replacement items first."

Gu Yan understood in his heart, this is normal, it is impossible for a wealthy family to start preparing for the New Year gifts at this time, they must have started preparing several months in advance.

Now it’s just because there is a problem with the gifts prepared earlier, and we need to find replacement items.

“It’s like this, normally we would write a few more orders just in case of emergency, but who knows there might be problems with these herbs?

We don’t dare to bet on that one in ten thousand possibility now!”

Manager Zhao explained: "So we can only quickly find a replacement."

This will prevent any problems from happening, as those in charge will be in big trouble.

"Oh..." Gu Yan nodded to show his understanding.

"However, it's a coincidence." Manager Zhao laughed and said, "Old Zhu has been nagging me about how delicious and popular this wine is these days, and I immediately thought of you, Brother Gu."

He glanced at the wine bottle on the table and said, "Such a delicious and elegant wine, with our regional characteristics, is it not a perfect gift?"

After hearing this, Gu Yan finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

His thoughts turned, and he pushed the three bottles of wine in front of Manager Zhao, and said with a smile: "In this case, then Brother Zhao, take these three bottles of wine back and let the old lady consider it."

"Okay, let's settle it this way for now." Manager Zhao picked up the three bottles of wine and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Brother Zhao."

Gu Yan called him, pointed at the bamboo basket beside him, and said with a smile:

"We picked this basket of wild oranges in the mountains. There aren't many, so I'll give you some to try."

After saying that, he pushed the basket towards Manager Zhao.

Manager Zhao looked at the wild oranges in the basket and said in surprise, "I didn't expect the wild oranges on the mountain to grow so well?

Haha, then I will respectfully obey your command."

Manager Zhao happily took the basket and said, "By the way, did Brother Gu also weave this basket himself?"

"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded, "This time, the basket Yan used to hold the wild oranges was just one he randomly picked from the woven baskets."

This average-sized basket can hold about ten kilograms of oranges.

In order to facilitate storage, Gu Yan chose a basket with a lid.

Nowadays, with the diversification of people's needs, the styles of basket weaving have also become diverse.

With lid or without lid, with handles or without handles, and even the types of handles are varied and everything is available.

This made Gu Qingzhi sigh: "There is nothing that cannot be done as long as you can think of it!"

In fact, the reason why these baskets have such a wide variety of styles is thanks to the suggestions Gu Qingzhi gave to Gu Yan.

At that time, Gu Yan followed Gu Qingzhi's suggestion and asked everyone to make some basket weaving samples and send them in. If their samples were adopted, they would receive a reward of five cents.

This greatly stimulated everyone's enthusiasm, and all kinds of creative ideas emerged one after another.

This regulation was announced on October 27th.

Because in the past few days, there was an endless stream of people coming to see Gu Yan every day.

After seeing this situation, Gu Qingzhi gave him this idea.

In this way, they don't have to spend the effort to think of new styles. Otherwise, they will always have the same types of woven baskets, and people will not keep buying them, and over time their purchasing power will be lost.

Therefore, launching new products is an inevitable trend.

In addition, there is another advantage of doing this, that is, whoever comes up with a new product can be responsible for its production, thus saving the trouble of teaching.

Of course, those who failed to weave the new styles had to continue making the old ones.

However, the effect of this approach is very significant.

Never underestimate the wisdom of the people!

In just a few days, Gu Yan received five or six new baskets.

Only one of them was returned because of insufficient workmanship, but the others passed the review smoothly.

Gu Yan told them that they could directly prepare samples according to different specifications and send them over for inspection.

If you pass, you can go back to weaving on a large scale.
