The head of the Tang family was so proud that he immediately transferred some skilled weavers from Yuefang and asked them to come out with several pairs of gloves, and asked Xu Wenqu and Xia Yuhui to give them to their friends. Of course, they did not forget County Magistrate Lin. For the convenience of Magistrate Lin,
I gave it to my boss and gave him some long scarves, which are now called "Zhuangyuan scarves".
If the previous socks were popular among women, then this one was taken in the literati way.
Most of the people who share the same goals as Xu Wenqu are very talented, and there are circles of literati everywhere. If you mention them at gatherings, they will immediately spread like the wind.
Moreover, the literati of this era have two major characteristics. One is that they like to write articles and poems about big things, and the other is that they like to write on walls.
Within a few days, the "Four and a Half Treasures" became the latest trend in the literary circle. Especially the young master with two rich families seemed to be unable to write without the Four and a Half Treasures. He tried every means to get a pair of Dai Dai.
.
At this moment, a shop named "Yuefang" quietly opened in Fucheng.
This is an era where the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Almost as soon as this place opened, everyone flocked here.
At present, there are only four kinds of "four and a half treasures", namely socks, Zhuangyuan scarf and hat. There are men's Zhanhong hat and women's brocade hat.
Moreover, this shop only does retail, not wholesale. Even if someone wants to buy more, they can only call all the aunts and uncles to come, and each person can only buy two pieces.
But this was enough. The literati who bought it immediately began to write letters to present/show off to their friends. The businessmen who bought it also felt that they were in sync with the nobles of Chang'an City and immediately began to write letters to their friends.
At this time, Han Yi came back with a large amount of wool.
No less unknown than last time, this time, almost as soon as they entered the city, everyone noticed them. Everyone knew that they were Yuefang's wool, and some people came up to ask questions.
Han Yi was so frightened that he didn't waste any time and hurriedly transported the wool back to Jubao Village.
At this time, the craftsmen had only completed half of the one hundred woolen spinning wheels. They were placed in the original small winery, and the room was also equipped with a fire pit, making it warm and comfortable.
In the meantime, Tang Shiyue called Mr. Huang out and improved the washing machine and dryer in preparation for Han Yi to come back at any time.
Although Tang Shiyue had already realized that "I am lucky enough to be a koi carp, the one who comes to my door must be an invisible master", but he was still shocked by Mr. Huang. This old man looked honest, silent, and capable.
It's really not small.
There has always been a folk saying of "Jiu Lao Eighteen Craftsmen"①. "Jiu Lao" refers to drawing pigs, killing pigs, gelding cattle, breaking walls, squeezing, shaving heads, mending pots, pedicures, and playing drums.
The Eighteen Craftsmen are a collective term that includes goldsmiths, silversmiths, coppersmiths, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, carpenters, carvers, painters, bombardiers, stoneworkers, bricklayers, bricklayers, drummers, chairmakers, umbrella makers, painters, and leatherworkers.
, weavers, dyers, bombardiers, foundry makers, scissor-shovel sharpeners, potters, etc., all fall into this category.
Although Mr. Huang is a carpenter, he also knows a lot about other things, so he transformed all these things in just two days. It was much more convenient and effective than she imagined.
Tang Shiyue invited him to stay here again.
Mr. Huang still had that honest look, and said slowly: "If the master has any work, we will naturally finish it before leaving. If there is no work, we can't just eat for free."
Tang Shiyue said: "Of course I have a lot of work for you. Even if there is no work in the middle, I can still give you monthly money and I won't make you have no food to eat. You are a craftsman, or you have to ask for help." When it comes to wealth, you either seek fame or strive for excellence. I can guarantee that if you follow me, you will have everything."
Mr. Huang glanced at her: "Well... I wonder what Mr. Tang's plans are?"
Tang Shiyue said: "You want a guarantee? I can't tell you everything I want to do. Besides, even if I promise, will you believe it? What can you do if I go back on my word? So, if you believe me Stay, or leave if you don't believe me. Nothing can be foolproof, and you should make your own judgment."
After coming out of there, Xia Yuhui couldn't help but said to her: "My boss, as long as we always have work for them, who will they do it for? Of course they won't leave, why are you insisting on keeping them?" ?”
Tang Shiyue said: "What I want is a brainstorming situation, that is, I propose an idea, and they are professionals who can try to improve it, instead of me telling you to do something for me, and they do it exactly." came out. Therefore, I must cultivate my own exclusive craftsmen. They have a sense of belonging and accept my management. The longer the time and the deeper the involvement, the more convenient it will be for me to use them."
Xia Yuhui nodded slowly.
Over there, Qiao Sangyu called him from a distance: "Mr. Xia, I have allocated the manpower. What do you think of the arrangements?"
Xia Yuhui walked over quickly: "Okay, let them go over first and learn how to use the woolen spinning wheel..." The two of them walked away as they talked.
Tang Shiyue, the big shopkeeper, threw away his hands and turned around to go home as usual.
Han Yi was sitting at the table eating, listening to Mrs. Ye's chatter.
After returning from this trip, Han Yi felt more calm and refined, with a bit more confidence and confidence in him. He was no longer the frail and secretly vigilant person before.
Mrs. Ye saw this and was very satisfied. She kept teaching Han Yi not to forget Tang Shiyue's kindness.
She is knowledgeable and knows very well that although Han Yi is brave and shrewd, without Tang Shiyue's advice and money, and pointing out the way forward, he can only make small fuss and be a non-conformist at best. Gangsters, or rich gangsters.
As it is now, it is no exaggeration to say that Tang Shiyue gave Han Yi a new life.
Seeing Tang Shiyue entering, Han Yi quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Ah Yue."
Although he insisted not to call him "Boss", his attitude was far more solemn than before.
Tang Shiyue didn't care and nodded. Han Yi smiled and handed over a few boxes next to him: "Although it's your money, it's still a long way to go, so it's a piece of my heart."
Tang Shiyue thanked him with a smile, and opened them one by one with a smile. There were really a lot of interesting things.
Han Yi wiped his mouth and wanted to report the situation to her, but Tang Shiyue said: "No rush, you eat slowly, take a rest after eating, and we will talk about it in the evening."
"I'm not tired!" Boss Han was very moved: "I can say it now."
Tang Shiyue said: "No, if you say it now, you will have to say it again later. Why not wait until A Jing and Mr. Xia come and say it together."
Han Yi also learned about Xia Yuhui's existence from Mrs. Ye, and had no choice but to nod.
So after Xia Yuhui and Qiao Sangyu discussed it, they worked together to finish the matter of the new wool, dispatched the people, and went about their own business. They didn't even have time to take a sip of water when they came over, and they were about to listen to Han Yi's report.
Mrs. Ye cooked a meal for them and went out. Han Yi had already eaten, had taken a bath and changed clothes, and reported in a serious manner.
Tang Shiyue, Huo Qijing, and Xia Yuhui were eating and listening. (To be continued)
