Chapter 428 Zhao Paner’s advertising and marketing
Hearing the two people calling him Master Du, Du Changfeng realized that the two children in front of him were actually his students. He stretched his neck to get a clear look at their faces and said:
"Isn't the academy open early? What are you doing here? What are your names? Tell us your names!"
"His name is Hu Zhiyuan, and my name is Liu Yongbo!"
The shorter student joked casually. Du Changfeng vaguely felt that these two names sounded unfamiliar to him, but he didn't think much about it and just said with a majestic look:
"Go back and write ten large-character essays as punishment and hand them over to me tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, Master Du!"
After fooling Du Changfeng, the two truant students ran away. At this time, Du Changfeng, who liked to teach others, lectured a young scholar standing in front of him:
"Everyone is already in class, what are you doing here, stupid guy? Why don't you go to class quickly?"
"ah?"
Inexplicably, he was given a scolding by Du Changfeng. The young scholar was really a monk named Zhang Er. He was confused and looked at Du Changfeng with strange eyes. His voice did not sound like a student in the academy. Du Changfeng couldn't help but wonder.
Taking a closer look, Du Changfeng was shocked when he saw that he was an adult. He quickly bent down and bowed, apologizing:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just admitted my mistake!"
"There's something wrong!"
On the other side, after the two truant students ran away, the taller student scolded:
"How dare you make up a name?"
The taller student gasped, waved his hands and said confidently:
"Don't be afraid, he didn't wear any glasses today, and he can't even see the faces of people one foot away!"
Hearing this, the taller student smiled and said:
"No wonder he was selected as a Jinshi. He couldn't even get an official position. He could only guard the election while being a concubine in our academy!"
At this time, the slightly taller student said mysteriously:
"I heard that when his majesty met with the officials, he was so excited that he lost his etiquette in front of the emperor and let go of the energy of reincarnation!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Shit!"
On this side, Du Changfeng was completely unaware of the ridicule and teasing of the two students. He was commenting on the brand new Zhao's Tea House with other literati. This was also thanks to He Si and others, Zhao Pan'er gave
They commissioned them to go to Tea Soup Alley to promote the new Zhao's Tea House, and promised to give them a commission from selling some tea. Because of this, He Si and others went directly to other people's tea houses to sell Zhao's Tea House.
The tea house was praised to the sky, so these literati and poets who often went to Tea Soup Lane to drink tea gathered together and came to Ma Xing Street specifically to see how good this Zhao's tea house was, and who was the shopkeeper, Mrs. Zhao?
What kind of stunning beauty in the world is actually more beautiful than the famous courtesan Zhang Haohao.
In the crowd, Du Changfeng showed off:
"Although this yard is not big, every plant and tree has a profound meaning. There are also beauty lanterns and sweet-scented osmanthus hanging here. Isn't this the same red face as the sweet-scented osmanthus in this door last year?"
The gathering of literati and poets nodded one after another, as if the heroes had the same views and regretted seeing each other. Among them, Mr. Zhuo Shi stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"The lantern is made of Yuanjiu, and the shallow depth of the osmanthus flower resembles the allusion of even shades of makeup!"
"It makes sense, it makes sense!"
At this time, another group of literati walked into the teahouse. The leading scribe looked at Du Changfeng and Mr. Zhuo Shi next to him, bowed, and laughed:
"Master Du, Mr. Zhuo Shi, you are here too!"
"Mr. Yuan, are you here too?"
The leading scribe was Yuan Tuntian, who was well-known in the city of Tokyo. Du Changfeng and Mr. Zhuo Shi hurriedly came forward to greet each other. They saw Yuan Tuntian looking up and down at the brand-new Zhao's Teahouse, and said with a cheerful smile:
"It's not like you don't know that I love music the most in my life. I heard Su Su from Fan Lou say that a new store has opened here, so of course it's indispensable to listen to good music, so I came!"
"Yes, yes, me too, I'm here to listen to the music too!"
Just when these literati were complimenting each other, Zhao Pan'er, dressed in a flowing dress, walked out holding a floral paper umbrella. The girl in a silver vase was burning incense beside her. The fragrance, beauty, and Zhao Pan'er's smile
, as graceful as a startled dragon, as graceful as a swimming dragon, her body and dancing postures stunned the literati. At this time, Sun Sanniang brought over two more round fans. She and Zhao Pan'er each had one, half covering their faces, and danced gracefully.
, Gu Panshenghui, at this time, in the private room on the second floor, Song Yinzhang was wearing a face scarf, sitting behind the screen, holding Gu Yue Pipa in his arms, playing, the fairy sound was faint, coupled with the charming Zhao Pan'er and
Sun Sanniang fascinated all the literati and poets. Even the white-haired Mr. Zhuo Shi lost his composure and shouted:
"The beauty is so beautiful!"
At this time, Yuan Xudong was sitting in the private room on the second floor, looking down at Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang who were dancing in the lobby, as well as the so-called literati who coveted their beauty. In fact, these were the things he hated the most.
Corrupt Confucians can only talk, recite poems and compose poems. The Song Dynasty was economically prosperous, had a large population, and its national power was even more prosperous. However, it suffered repeated defeats externally. In the later disgrace of Jingkang, the Jin Dynasty went south to attack the capital Tokyo, burning and killing people.
Looting and committing all kinds of crimes.
In addition to the two emperors of Huiqin, a large number of Zhao family members, concubines and princesses, as well as nobles and court officials, a total of more than 3,000 people, were captured and went northward. They suffered humiliation. The women were even worse, treated as human beings and animals. The vast country,
The most fundamental reason for being humiliated to this point is that the rulers of the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs and ruled the country by men of letters. In peacetime, things were naturally safe and sound. If they encountered foreign enemies, they would not be bloody and would only know how to compromise and give in, even if they had gold and silver.
The sea is just a trophy for thieves. In times of peace, the people of Li are always obsessed with the power of the Song Dynasty. They regard powerful enemies as barbarians and claim to be the king of heaven. If you are arrogant, you will be defeated, especially if you are arrogant.
People who are blindly arrogant and have no self-awareness. Facts have proved that civilization will always be destroyed by so-called barbarians. If enough people are killed, the butcher can be a proud man.
Rest is like a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved, and is a useless thing.
In Yuan Xudong's eyes, the most fundamental thing about a country is its military, as well as the thoughts and beliefs of its citizens. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, Qi was wealthy, its people were prosperous, and its business was prosperous. But in the end, all of it was attributed to Qin, and its wealth, especially the lack of it, was
Sufficiently guaranteed wealth will not only fail to protect oneself, but will also attract wolves, tigers and leopards. Only by paying equal attention to both, can the nation be wealthy and the country's military be strong. Only by not provoking war can we be afraid of war. Words can never convince the enemy.
Only fists and blood can do it. Throughout human history, peace will only be short-lived and war will always come. Nothing in this world is impossible. You think war is still far away from you, but you don’t know that war can come at any time.
, Sometimes, peace-loving people and people who fear bloodshed and sacrifice are always confused together. The latter often regard peace-loving as an excuse for being cowardly and afraid of war. They will say, what should we do if people die in a war? Then if we don’t fight, no matter what.
How about being slaughtered and made a slave?
In a word, Yuan Xudong hates those people who talk about truths, because truths can only be told to his own family, and the enemy will only laugh at you for being a scumbag. I have a gun, so why should I argue with you? What do you think?
, what should I do or how to do it, I can also slap you hard in the face and say sorry to you at the same time, Sorry!
Just as Yuan Xudong was thinking about it, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang each held a beauty fan to cover half of their faces. They walked to the bottom of the new plaque. Together, they pulled away the rope tied with the curtain, revealing the words "
With the name of the new store "Half-faced", Zhao Pan'er looked at the stunned literati, bowed and said:
"Today we reopen with half-masking. We have a few cups of thin tea and a piece of pure music. Please enjoy it!"
"Half-faced?"
"what does it mean?"
"It came out after being called out for a long time, still holding the pipa and half covering its face. It's so strange and wonderful, so wonderful and unique!"
"That's it!"
"I said why are you half-covering your face? It turns out it's Pipa language!"
"What a human-faced sweet-scented osmanthus!"
“The shopkeeper’s wife is so chic!”
In the tea house, the literati were talking a lot. Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang were walking in front of the counter. Du Changfeng stayed in the crowd. Because his vision was too blurry, he could only see the graceful figures of Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang and couldn't see clearly.
Their faces were so fragrant that Du Changfeng was also fascinated by them. He wanted to see clearly how beautiful the beauties were. Unfortunately, his Seven Treasures Glaze Tochara Crystal was thrown into the water by the shrew Sun Sanniang, which caused him great harm.
Now he cannot see the beauty. At this moment, Mr. Zhuo Shi walked up to Du Changfeng and said with a smile:
"Master Du, don't you have to go to the academy to teach today?"
"Well"
After hearing Mr. Zhuo Shi's reminder, Du Changfeng remembered that not only did his students have classes to attend, but he, as a master, also had classes to teach. Thinking of this, Du Changfeng couldn't help but sigh that beauty is a disaster, and he looked at
Mr. Zhuo Shi made a bow and said goodbye:
"Mr. Zhuo, I'll take my leave now and come back another day!"
"Okay, Master Du, walk slowly!"
After looking at Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang for the last time, Du Changfeng sighed, gritted his teeth and left the tea house. The rest of the literati also found their own places to sit down, sitting in groups of three or three at a table, quietly.
Listening to the sound of pipa flowing from the private room.
"The sound of the piano is really good!"
"yes!"
At the end of the song, all the literati were full of praise. Yuan Tuntian, who loved music the most in his life, even shook his paper fan and praised:
"This music can only exist in heaven. How many times can it be heard in the human world? I wonder which famous player is plucking the strings and interpreting the notes?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yinzhang walked out of the private room wearing a slightly translucent gauze scarf. She stood upstairs and looked down at the literati. She did not say a word and held the handkerchief in her arms.
Gu Yue Pipa stood there handsomely, looking at everyone with only her big black and white eyes that seemed to be able to speak. Zhao Pan'er stood aside and said with a slight smile:
"This is Lady Song, the most famous pipa player in Jiangnan!"
After Zhao Paner finished the introduction, Song Yinzhang hugged her Lone Moon Pipa and smiled slightly at the guests. The guests praised Song Yinzhang one after another and said:
"This is half-covered face. It's so beautiful, like a fairy in the sky!"
"It turns out she is Lady Song, the most famous pipa player in the south of the Yangtze River. No wonder it's like this!"
"The sound of the piano is so beautiful, I really don't know how beautiful she is under this scarf!"
"Mr. Yuan's words are absolutely true. I see that Mrs. Song's eyebrows are charming and moving. I think she must be a beauty of national beauty!"
"Mr. Zhuo is right. I heard that you have just married a concubine who is twenty-eight years old. She is a bride of eighteen years old, with pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks are tucked in under the quilt for the night, and a pear tree is pressed against the begonia. Mr. Zhuo
, you are really getting stronger with age!"
"No, no, the ancients said that food and sex are the nature of food. This is also human nature. It's just what you want and what I want!"
Looking at these disgusting so-called scholars downstairs, Zhao Pan'er and the others forced a smile. Among these people were some old guys who claimed to be romantic, such as Mr. Zhuo, whose hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of
It's the wrinkles of an old man, but he actually came to see a beautiful woman, and even married a concubine who was twenty-eight years old. He talked about food, sex, and what you wanted to do. It's really disgusting!
At this time, Yuan Tuntian downstairs looked at Zhao Paner and Song Yinzhang and shouted:
"I wonder if I could ask Madam Song to play another song?"
The literati downstairs were making noises, asking Song Yinzhang to play another song. Zhao Paner would not spoil them. In her eyes, these so-called literati were just mobile wallets. She smiled sweetly and said
:
"When Princess Qian hired Madam Song as her music officer, she cherished Madam Song's piano skills and set a rule. She was only allowed to play three pieces in one day. If you still want to listen to it again, you might as well sit down for a while.
Use some of our Jiangnan refreshments!”
After Zhao Paner finished speaking, Sun Sanniang took the opportunity to say:
"Dear guests, please order any tea you would like to drink here!"
"well!"
Opening the door to do business, there is no reason to just listen to music without ordering tea. Everyone didn't take it seriously and followed Sun Sanniang to order tea until...
"Isn't this too expensive?"
Looking at the astonishing price on the tea card, Mr. Zhuo Shi almost stroked his beard off. He looked at Sun Sanniang who was standing next to the tea card and said in surprise:
"Ugh, a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus drink sells for eighty yuan. Didn't you write it wrong?"
"It's too expensive. Eighty cents can buy a bushel of rice!"
Someone next to me complained.
Looking at Mr. Zhuo Shi, who took the lead in complaining about the high price of tea in the store, Sun Sanniang smiled and said:
"Sir, you are joking. Can this feeling, this situation, and this happiness be calculated in terms of money? Isn't this vulgar? I can guarantee that once you taste the sweet-scented osmanthus drink, you will no longer think so.
!”
"Is it really that powerful?"
“That must be tried!”
What Sun Sanniang said is so powerful, and the literati present here can't really leave just because tea is expensive. It's just a mere eighty cents, and you can make more after spending it. What if people misunderstand that you are stingy?
manage?
What scholars pay attention to is the word elegance, which must have artistic conception. Talking about money is so vulgar, it is simply unbearable, okay?
Everyone ordered their favorite teas, and Zhao Pan'er really put a lot of effort into it. The tea cups were made of fine white porcelain and looked very good. Her tea-ordering skills were also extremely superb, and the tea scenes were even more exciting.
It is lifelike and vivid, and Yuan Xudong added a little special elixir powder to the spring water she used to make tea. Therefore, the tea tastes very good, and all the guests are full of praises. Seeing this, Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang
He also took the opportunity to promote the tea fruits in the store, and saw Zhao Pan'er holding a plate of tea fruits with full color, fragrance and boasting:
"Drinking without fruit is just like having a harp without wine, which is a pity in life. Our shop's Lady Sun is a descendant of the Ning Kingdom's Jiedushi in the Southern Tang Dynasty. These tea fruits made by her were passed down from Empress Xiao Zhou.
You might as well try it and see how it tastes!”
"Give me a plate!"
"I want a plate too!"
Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Zhao Paner quoted the right time:
"Three hundred coins per plate!"
"Three, three hundred coins?"
Since eighty cents have been spent, it’s time to spend as much money as possible. A real man must not give in in front of a beautiful woman. Thinking this in his heart, Mr. Zhuo Shi suddenly said proudly:
"I want three hundred coins, too. Just give me a plate of this Taozhiyaoyao!"
"I want to be more popular every night!"
"I want a plate of laughing spring breeze!"
"Okay, guests, please wait a moment, you will be here soon!"
Looking at these literati vying for the first place, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang's faces burst into laughter. Each of them consumes 380 Wen, and there are almost 20 guests here, so they can earn almost ten guan of money?
In a good mood, Zhao Paner looked at Mr. Zhuo Shi, the first guest who ordered sweet-scented osmanthus drink and tea fruit, and said with a smile:
"Sir, you are indeed a close friend. Please come to the elegant room to enjoy Lady Song's pipa performance!"
"well!"
Unexpectedly, there would be such benefits. Mr. Zhuo Shi hurriedly got up and went upstairs, followed by the rest of the people. After the ten people in front climbed up the stairs, Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang quickly held the stairs to prevent everyone from going up again and said:
"Ms. Song likes to be quiet. Only ten elegant people can come in to listen to the music at most each time. Please come early tomorrow!"
"This is so unfair. I also ordered tea and fruit!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Seeing that the rest of the people were making a fuss, with Yuan Tuntian as their leader, Zhao Paner looked at him and smiled calmly:
"The so-called opportunity is not about sequence, but timing. Sir, please don't sigh. Can I order you a cup of Nine-Nine Return to Yuan Tea?"
"Nine-nine Guiyuan, what kind of brown color is it?"
Seeing everyone's curiosity, Zhao Pan'er clapped her hands, and the Yin Ping girl brought a brocade box. There were nine tea cups of different shapes in the box. Zhao Pan'er introduced them one by one:
"These nine tea cups, one is secret color, one is pink green, one is plum green, one is red kiln color, one is black, one is white, one is yellow ice crack, one is sky blue, one is rabbit hair, Ming Yue Tang, Deng Yaochai, Rao
, Longquan, Ding, from the Tang Dynasty to the imperial dynasty, all the famous nine-color porcelains loved by the palace are here, paired with the dragon and phoenix group tea that the officials love, isn't it the return of the Nine-Nine to the Yuan Dynasty? "
"It's amazing. I didn't expect Madam Zhao to have collected so many treasures. This is a unique treasure in Tokyo!"
“Not bad, not bad!”
Everyone was admiring Zhao Paner's collection. Suddenly, Yuan Tuntian smiled with an old face:
"Ms. Zhao, this Jiujiu Guiyuan Tea shouldn't be worth eighty cents a cup, right?"
"Of course not!"
Before Yuan Tuntian could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhao Paner smiled sweetly and said:
"Two hundred and fifty pieces, and sales are limited to ten sets per day!"
Like Mr. Zhuo before, Yuan Tuntian also smoothed down his beard. He looked at Zhao Pan'er who was smiling sweetly and said in a voiceless voice:
"Two hundred and fifty coins?"
"Yes, it's two hundred and fifty articles. Those who buy the whole set can go to the private room upstairs to listen to Lady Song's pipa!"
"I want, I want a whole set!"
“I want to order a whole set too!”
"I also want!"
"I also want!"
Just when Zhao Pan'er was making money and was extremely happy, the previous ten guests were listening to Song Yinzhang playing the pipa in the private room upstairs. Song Yinzhang was sitting behind the screen and focused on playing the piano. Everyone in front of the screen was mesmerized by the music.
The interior was decorated with great artistic conception, including peach flower arrangements and purple incense burners. Although the ten guests wanted to see Song Yinzhang's true face in Mount Lu, they were blocked by a screen and could only see a slim figure.
Naturally, he was even more itchy. At this moment, Yuan Xudong, who was among these people, said quietly:
"Hey, do you know? I heard that these three ladies are all the daughters-in-law of the Xiao family. Unfortunately, the old man of the Xiao family kicked them out because he thought they were of low origin and were not the noble ladies who have been married for generations. They were reluctant to leave the Xiao family.
Young Master, I just make a living selling tea here, and I just thought it would be nice to meet Young Master Xiao. She is such a strange woman with deep affection!"
"real or fake?"
Some people don’t believe it:
"Is Mr. Xiao Xiao Fan? That ordinary man with no brute strength, how could he be so virtuous and capable that there are three such extraordinary women who are so beautiful in the world that they are willing to commit themselves to him?"
