The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

It gets dark early in winter, and when Yunyan and the three returned to Kaifeng Mansion, it was already dark.

After they entered, they heard someone behind him shout hesitantly: "Is it Brother Yan?"

It was clearly Zhan Zhao's voice, so Yun Yan turned around and said, "Guard Zhan, are you back from work?"

"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 back, "It's cold, keep warm. Many people in the north use these earmuffs. It's getting colder and colder in Kaifeng recently. I think I can wear them."

Zhan Zhao was speechless, yes, this is very warm, but, Yun Yanhui's earmuffs have half knitted carrots on the left and right respectively, at first glance, he thought he had been pierced by a carrot Woolen cloth.

Yun Yan touched the earmuffs back, "Haha, are you looking at this? As expected of a guard Zhan, with such good eyesight, I can't see clearly when someone passes by on the road. Interesting? I wanted to buy one The one that came through with a knife, but someone bought it for a higher price."

Zhan Zhao thought to himself, there are more and more new gadgets in Bianjing, and they are getting more and more strange.

"...Well, but, are you beside Mr. Yutang and Mr. Gongsun?" Zhan Zhao found that the two were standing beside Yun Yanhui, and they didn't turn around, but they were clearly those two from their backs.

Yun Yan poked Gongsun Ce back.

Gongsun Ce kept his head down slightly. When he turned around, Zhan Zhao discovered 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 glove is not only water red, but also has two bells on it...

Zhan Zhao was dumbfounded.

But what made him even more dumbfounded was still behind, Yun Yan poked Bai Yutang back and turned around, "And this one, a mask, can keep warm and prevent dust, and if you encounter an epidemic, it can also prevent infection. In a few days You can buy it at Qiaotou, Nanzhou, and the patterns can be customized on site.”

Bai Yutang wore a cotton mask on his face, with a plain bottom, but a stick figure nose and mouth, a little pink tongue, and a few long beards were drawn on the muzzle, making it look like half of his face Became a small animal.

Zhan Zhao: "..."

Bai Yutang: "..."

Bai Yutang couldn't bear it anymore, and took off the mask, "Don't go too far, I'm just here to take care of the family's mood, what's the use of you getting these fancy things, clean earmuffs and masks are enough! In this way pattern, who wants to buy it!"

As if in order to clear up his own relationship, he said a long series of words in one breath and explained it "implicitly".

Gongsun Ce looked up at his velvet gloves depressedly, but he was old and thick-skinned, so he didn't take them off. He said objectively, "Someone still buys them. Didn't you find that the ones with decorations are more popular? Especially small ones. Ladies like it, and men like Brother Yan also find it interesting."

Bai Yutang really 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 by someone who happened to see them at a high price.

At that time, after Yun Yan told him to come, she began to describe to them what she wanted.

The prototype came out first, without any decorations, but Bai Yutang tried it, and it was indeed very warm.

Then, Yunyan asked them to decorate them and told them that they could sell them at a different price than ordinary items.

The three mother and daughter were weaving quickly with both hands, and completed several samples. Passers-by were busy going back through the wind and snow without paying attention, but the shop owner where they were hiding in the snow saw it and asked to buy it. It was Yunyan who snatched it at a high price. He thought that Yunyan Hui asked them to be the "ear muffs with knives" to buy things, but when he saw that "only a few sets were left", he was afraid that they would not be able to buy them.

Moreover, the boss paid a deposit on the spot and asked them to make a few more sets.

When Bai Yutang saw this scene, he felt so inexplicably excited.

—Of course, when the time turned to the present, he couldn't get excited.

Zhan Zhao's expression was indescribable.

Although wearing flowers and powder is popular now, there is still a certain gap with this kind of dress....

And Bai Yutang deeply felt that this was all Yun Yanhui's malice.Because among the three of them, Yun Yan returned most normally.

"Actually..." Bai Yutang still wanted to explain.

"I see," Zhan Zhao said immediately, "You must have seen the poor people selling these, so you bought some in order to let them sell them and go home earlier."

Very caring, very considerate of other people's feelings.

Bai Yutang wanted to say something again, but was interrupted by Gongsun Ce, "Although they missed, they were not far away. Originally, Yutang wanted to give them money directly, but Brother Yan proposed to teach them to make something to sell. That's all. Look at my gloves, they are very practical. But the material is not particularly good, Brother Yan suggested that they use the deposit to buy some silk floss, so that they can be sold to rich people."

At that time, cotton had not been introduced to China, and the rich people used silk floss for stuffing.

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

When Zhan Zhao heard it, he also agreed very much, saying that he would buy some to support in a few days, not to mention that it was really used.

Bai Yutang was suffocated by his words: _(:з」∠)_

……

For such things, the first batch is the most profitable, because only one company can sell them, and many imitations will come out later, and they will be sold at a low price by then.Yun Yanhui also told the woman surnamed Mao about this point, let them make more at home in the first batch, and then sell them, so hurry up.

This will definitely attract the attention of some embroidery workshops. It would be great if they can enter the embroidery workshop to do regular work. This is the real stable source of income, and the embroiderers in Bianjing can earn a lot.

After about half a month, Yun Yan went back to see the patrolling yamen servants coming back with gloves, and at this time, Boss Hao had an appointment, so he asked Zhao Yunchu to go to Hao Shao Color together, and took a detour to see the family.

After the new product launch conference half a month ago, the products of the Backflow series have become popular in Beijing and China, and the supply is completely in short supply. The scheduled orders have been scheduled for two months.Especially in the Bianjing area, some foreign businessmen are also making large reservations.

The principle of the backflow pot and the backflow incense, as long as you are willing to smash the research, you will definitely be able to research it in a short time.

However, by borrowing the reputation of the royal family, Haoyaose has taken another opportunity and has established a brand. Therefore, even if there are counterfeit products, those who are a bit pursuing are still willing to order Haoyaose pots and incense burners.

Today, Hao Shao Se is actually going to hold a celebration banquet.

Not only did Boss Hao want to celebrate the success of Hao Shao Se, but also a big happy event.

Before Yun Yanhui brought the Backflow Pot and Backflow Incense Burner to the imperial court, the officials greatly appreciated them, so Yun Yanhui also pushed Shen Kuo out.The officials also knew about his father, and later recruited him into the palace for examination.

A few days ago, there was a decree. One was to order Shen Zhou, the father of Shen Kuo, to go to Mingzhou as an official—it was a good place.The second is to ask Shen Kuo to work as an errand in the Ministry of Industry, and he will take up the post immediately, and he will have an errand before his father.

This is quite different from what Yun Yan recalled. Originally, Shen Kuo should have taken his father's shadow as an official after his father's death, but now, he became an official who passed the examination and entered the court.

Anyway, the Shen family is very happy. Although Shen Kuo is going to stay in Bianjing, who doesn't want to stay in Bianjing?

Therefore, it is actually double happiness.

When it was time for the shift, Zhao Yunchu came to Kaifeng Mansion to look for Yunyan to come back. The two went out together and inquired along the way. Because it was a rare object, they soon found out that Mrs. Mao was in Taixue.

When we arrived near Taixue, sure enough, the Mao family was setting up a stall there, and there were a lot of products piled up on the stall. There were regular versions and deluxe ones, and the deluxe ones had gloves, earmuffs, masks, etc., all of which were stuffed with silk floss.Moreover, she also provides tailor-made services.

Mao's two youngest daughters were "fully armed", wearing their products and attracting customers in front of the booth. Many people were attracted by the cold-proof items on their bodies.

Both practical and interesting, some are cute and some are amusing, no matter how you look at it, you will like it.

There are many students in Taixue, and there is a street outside where many vendors gather. It is very lively, so although there are the most students here, there are also all kinds of people.

Mao's products are selling quickly, and from time to time, people will come to customize them. There is even a student who sits by the side, waiting to draw different expressions or patterns on the masks for people at any time.I don't know if they hired them or if they cooperated with each other.

Standing 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 them on.

As a result, this street is full of people with various animal ears on their heads, or people who have been "passed through" by carrots, swords, swords, halberds, and even bricks.

There are also masks with various expressions on half of the face, some with cat mouths, some with grinning teeth, some with drooling, and even the masks of prodigal yamen with pouting and kissing.

Some serious Taixue students just wear five-fingered gloves without fancy.

Occasionally, there are "Crazy Students" masks that say "No. [-] in the monthly exam"...

These objects, written to keep out the cold and read as cute, have been unanimously welcomed by the people of Bianjing.

Modern items are revived on the people of the Northern Song Dynasty again, but there is no sense of disobedience, because the people of this era are so unconventional and so pursuing fashion!

……

After a while, seeing that there was finally a gap in front of Mao, Yunyan went back and walked over, standing in front of the booth, before she could speak, Mao recognized it.

Mrs. Mao bowed profusely, "Grandfather."

"Madam Mao, you don't need to be too polite." Yun Yan evaded and asked with a smile, "Is the business okay?"

Mao's eyes were red, and he couldn't express his gratitude, "Well, 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 go to the embroidery workshop, and Put these in their place and mass-produce them."

"Then you're still here?" Yun Yan asked back.

Mao said embarrassingly, "This is the skill you taught me. How dare I sell it without authorization. It's fine if I just go to work, but if I want to sell these skills..."

"However, these are easy to imitate." Yun Yan smiled back, "They are just added by the way, even if you don't go to work, you will imitate in the future."

Yunyan returned to Xiaozhi with emotion and reason, "The big deal, if I give you a 'patent fee', you just give it to me."

When Mao heard this, he agreed.

She saw that although Yun Yanhui was wearing earmuffs, but the little brother next to him was empty, she quickly took out two sets of masks, gloves, and a pair of earmuffs from the merchandise in front of her, and handed them to them.

Yun Yan didn't refuse when he returned, but he only wanted basic masks and gloves, then he smiled and said to Zhao Yunchu: "You can ask someone to draw a wailing mouth for you."

He, he started to make fun of Zhao Yunchu's love for crying.
