Chapter 160 Sending New Year's Goods
The family's "prosperous and prosperous times, the peace and prosperity of the country", Chu Qing did not intend to let them stay too quiet, what would they do if they stayed at home, and now their little management work has no technical content.
Let them transfer the work in their hands to others, Chu Qing sent them to the weaving workshop, and each managed the workers according to the weaving process.
Bai Jiaxing, an honest man, and the ten long-term workers from Chu Yi, Chu Shuang to Chu Shi were not allowed to stay at home. Chu Qing asked Bai Jiaxing to lead them with banknotes and a letter to Mrs. Hong Guogong.
Go to Kyoto.
First of all, Baijiaxing needs to find Mrs. Hong Guogong and talk to her about opening a "Blue House" branch in Kyoto. If she is willing, she can leave the store and Qingqing will be responsible for everything else, and then split it 50-50.
This is actually a way to maintain close contact with the Duke's wife. Mrs. Hong only needs to open a store and use the background of the Duke's mansion to maintain the security of the Blue House.
"Blue House's" unique oil, wine, and cooking recipes are all selling points, and it will definitely shine in Kyoto.
Then, Baijiaxing will find at least two stores in Kyoto to sell Chuqing's textiles. These are high-end goods, and they must be displayed in high-end consumer specifications.
As soon as Chu arrived, Chu Shi stayed in the capital and was in charge of running these shops, while Bai Jiaxing took charge of everything. Chu Qing finally returned to Chu's house and prepared to rest for a day, but something happened. Good thing!
The caravan boys brought back wool and some furs, and also brought a good thing - wild sansho pepper.
This thing is interesting. They told the herdsmen of the Hesote tribe that if they wanted, their tribe could organize a horse team to help Virat and Tuhuert transport goods to the mutual market, so that they could get an extra penny per kilogram of wool.
money income.
The herdsmen were very happy because they had many horses, so it was not a big deal to transport them once or twice a year. One penny more per catty of wool, and two hundred thousand catties equaled two hundred thousand dollars, which was not a small deal for them.
income.
In order to thank the caravan boys, they specially cut a lot of pasture and let them take it with them to feed the horses on the road. Then the boys found some wild pepper mixed in the forage.
I didn't notice it at first, but when I fed the horse every day, I found that the horse didn't eat the food, and the food slowly turned red. Now, it's all red.
A curious boy took a bite... and later found out that he was not poisoned, so he picked up all the wild peppers that were thrown out and took them home for Chu Qing to identify.
Chu Qing was going crazy with joy! He was so greedy for this bite! He thought there was no such species in this world, but unexpectedly, he found a wild one in the pasture!
The small peppers were already red, and when they were dried, they became seeds again! The boys all wisely went out, leaving the room empty for Chu Qing to have fun for a while.
But I also gained experience, so I went back and told the people in Xinlunzhou that if I found this thing in the pasture, don’t throw it away!
Chu Qing has no time to be silly. Now that the boys are back, they all rush back to the village to squeeze oil! This year, in addition to soybean oil, they also have to squeeze peanut oil!
…………
This busy work was in the twelfth lunar month, and Chu Qing didn't have time to ask about Xiaobao's studies.
Xiaobao takes his dozen or so friends to form "study groups" every day, "knowing
"Learning Competition". The reason was that he had been away for more than three months and had fallen behind a lot of homework, so he wanted these people to help him catch up quickly.
Chu Qing couldn't care less about Xiaobao, but he had to take care of the emperor - he had to get the textiles under the emperor's nose, and let the emperor be the "spokesperson" in the name of "offering".
The textile workshop has been named "Bao Qingxiang", and Chu Qing engraved these three characters on the packaging boxes of all items to be presented to the emperor. Small pieces of cloth were sewn onto the insides of the clothes as well.
There are a lot of "New Year's goods" to be sent to the capital this time:
Two jars of peanut oil;
Twelve jars of Yu Ye Qiong Liquor (actually corn roast);
Several soaps of various colors; three mink hair scarves;
Ten sheepskin cloaks of different colors;
Various wool gloves, wool socks, wool felt insoles, wool sweaters, and some wool pants;
"Wool Felt Poke" small ornaments and semi-finished products in various colors with instructions included;
Several pieces of solid color, striped, and plaid cotton cloth;
There are also some wooden shelves.
Anyway, the first batch of "Bao Qingxiang" textiles were sent to the emperor. They were very thoughtful and included those for the Queen Mother and the Empress.
Those "popping fun" are prepared for the little princes and princesses. Try to make these gadgets lead the trend of handicrafts among aristocratic ladies in Kyoto.
Anyway, these "poke fun" are just scraps. It would be a pity to throw them away. Maybe you can make a lot of money.
In addition, a black sheepskin cloak in the style of the Secret Detective Division was specially customized for Hu Hengqiu, and a sandwich pocket was made on the left chest so that he could carry a few banknotes or letters.
What is in this pocket now is Chu Qing's "New Year's greetings". The main meaning of the letter is:
"Dear leader:
Before the new year, people wear warm clothes and fur to hope that the public will be safe and healthy.
Enclosed are several cartloads of gifts, which I convey to my Majesty and send my regards to my subordinates.
Mr. Fan checked the gift list and counted the goods. If the number did not match the gift list, it was a courtesy.
Regarding taxes and money, please don’t rush for a moment. I sincerely ask you to speak kindly to your subordinates’ New Year’s gifts. If the Holy Spirit speaks well, I will tell you about it widely, so you will have a lot of money.
Also: Attached are the tax receipts from Jizhou’s “Blue House” this year. The “Blue House” branch and the “Bao Qingxiang” branch have been established in the capital and will open after the year.
I wish you a wealth of money and money in the coming year, and may you come uninvited.
Sincerely, salute.
…
Kyoto, Hu Mansion.
The housekeeper presented the letter to Hu Hengqiu. Hu Hengqiu looked at the familiar font and did not open the envelope, but looked into the sun, not knowing what he wanted to see.
"Master, what are you doing?" The housekeeper looked puzzled. The master has been behaving inexplicably more and more recently.
For example, last month, I was chanting: "Money is coming! Money is coming!" Then, after being depressed for several days, I was chanting "Malay, malay!" In the past two days, I changed it again: "Is there any? Is it okay?" One day, the gods
Nagging.
"How many cars?" Hu Hengqiu was still looking up at the envelope.
"Six cars."
"Well, it's okay. She has a conscience!" Hu Hengqiu was happy, "Let's go and have a look!"
Hu Hengqiu was so happy when he saw so many exquisite boxes and wine jars: "Quick! Open a jar and try it!"
"Master, the boy who came to deliver the goods said that what's in this bag is yours, and the rest..." The housekeeper looked at his master with a look of dismay.
"Then this, this..." Hu Hengqiu shook the envelope in his hand. His original wish contained either a banknote or a gift voucher, but it seems that now... it contains nothing!
In a fit of rage, he tore open the envelope and an invitation fell out:
Submitted to: Mr. Hu Taiqi
It is scheduled to be held on the 16th day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Qingde
Opening ceremony for Cheong Wa Dae Kyoto Branch, Bo Cheong Sang Kyoto Branch (Dongseong Branch), and Bo Cheong Sang Kyoto Branch (Xicheng Branch)
Please come and cut the ribbon (please call more friends)
Chu Qing respectfully invites
"Are you asking me to run all over the city for her?" Hu Hengqiu was angry.
Chu Qing really didn’t mean that. Chu Qingxin said that when Hu Hengqiu went to the Blue House, he would send two of his men to go to the other two stores separately. I didn’t expect Hu Hengqiu to be so serious and responsible!
Chapter completed!
