When the sun rose again, Wen Tian Lan Pavilion opened in a low-key manner. There were no flower baskets or firecrackers.
Princess Yongmu stayed on the fourth floor. She sat by the window and read a math book. To be precise, it was algebra.
There was a piece of paper and a pencil on the table for her to calculate.
Xiao Lan instructed the eight maids to wear knee-length skirts and wait for customers on the first floor.
In addition, there were four new maids. They were not very good-looking, and ordinary men would feel uncomfortable looking at them.
They were more than 1.9 meters tall, had big feet, big fists, and thick calluses on their knuckles.
They had kukri knives at their waists. While others wore robes or skirts, they wore half-sleeved shirts, high-crotch leggings, and leather boots.
Their thick arms were exposed under the sleeves with different scars. Most importantly, they did not have long hair. They did not look like women at all.
There was a row of stools outside the shop. Ten guards sat on the stools, and the other ten were nowhere to be seen.
People who arrived at the East Market saw the big glass. Many people only stood outside and did not dare to enter.
Some women who felt that they were worth more went in, but they came out not long after without buying anything.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. When customers come, whether they want to buy or not, they ask us. We have to patiently introduce them.
When they don't ask, don't make a sound. Let the customers see for themselves. We have to pay attention to the customers.
When the customers show that they want to buy or ask questions, we have to go forward in time. "
Xiao Lan realized that everyone was in a bad mood. It had been two hours, but they had not sold anything.
A few people asked. First, they introduced the gold and silver plating. After knowing the price, they found it expensive.
Including the small glass beads, a bead with a string was at least 200 coins. The larger glass beads in other places only cost this much.
Another two people went up to the second floor to accompany them. In the end, when they asked about the price, they came down directly.
Xiao Lan was also bored. She also took a book to read and stood her ground.
However, after lunch, Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion suddenly became lively in the afternoon. Many women came to visit.
Some were carrying children, and some were carrying goods.
"This one, this one. The big glass door and windows. Line up."
A woman in her forties seemed to be the leader. She called a large group of people to stand at the door.
Xiao Lan quickly ran out. "Are you from Lantian County?"
"Yes, we're from Lantian County. Someone was working at home and couldn't come. He asked us to help him bring it back. The village chief and the people from the yamen wrote a certificate."
The woman in the lead raised her voice and brought over the certificates that had been stamped.
There was an advertisement in the newspaper, saying that the capital's twenty-two counties could send baby carriers to the counties outside.
Lantian County was the first. Those who were working at home could not come, and there were also those who did not bring their children with them because their parents-in-law were taking care of their children.
Even if it was a woman carrying a child or carrying a child on her back, she still needed to have proof.
One certificate in exchange for a set of straps.
They were carrying goods along the way, and there were men following them at home.
Boxes of baby carriers were delivered. Princess Yongmu went downstairs and handed them out one by one.
"Wash your hands and wipe your face first." Xiao Lan called out to the person who brought the child over.
Some of the older children were seven or eight years old, and some were in their teens. After they washed their hands, they were given a lollipop, a maltose candy, that was stuck on a bamboo stick.
The two or three-year-old children were given glutinous rice candy wrapped in glutinous rice paper, and the younger children were given a carrot stick to bite on for fun.
The woman who carried the child directly put on the carrier. She was in a good mood as she looked at her child.
With her hands free, she could work, and she did not have to worry about her hands slipping and dropping the child.
The child, who was already asleep, put on the carrier, pressed his face into his mother's arms and continued to sleep.
"It's really useful. The little lady has accumulated good karma. She can make one herself. Wouldn't it cost 30 coins?"
"It's still wasting time. Look at how dense the stitches are. It's strong. The outside is … canvas? It's expensive. "
"The place where the child is attached is cotton. It's not easy to get some cotton now."
"Look at that baby. He doesn't want to sleep and insists on facing outside. His small arms and legs are put in. He's not afraid of falling off at all."
The women from Lantian County praised the baby carriers. According to the cloth they bought separately, a set of baby carriers would cost at least 50 coins.
In addition to the work that was delayed during the production, it was another sum of money.
They did not know that the baby carriers were made with a sewing machine. When the materials were cut, the pattern had already been planned, and there was almost no waste.
The leftover materials were used to make the small pocket on the carrier. The inner pocket could be used to store money. It would be difficult for others to steal money.
The little guy, who was waiting in line to get the baby carrier, saw that the thing that was about his size was also carried just now.
"Hey ~ hey!" The little guy pointed at the child next to him and said.
"Your child is too small. He can only be installed diagonally. He can't sit. When he can sit on his own, he can use the sitting position."
Princess Yongmu said to a woman whose child was only three months old that a child who could not sit on his own should be carried horizontally.
If the child's buttocks were held, over time, the child's spine would have problems.
"I know. It's written in the newspaper. Little Miss, you sent a lot of things, right? Let me see what you have in your shop. I'll buy some and let you make some money. "
The young woman felt embarrassed and wanted to buy something.
"No need. The things inside are expensive." Princess Yongmu did not want to earn this money.
"No matter how expensive it is, can it be more expensive than the price of one mu of greenhouse? My family had 15 mu of greenhouse last year. I hired people to take care of it. I gave birth to a boy. "
The woman carried the carrier diagonally, looked at the child, and said confidently.
She was rich. How much did the materials for 15 mu of greenhouse cost? How much did she earn in a winter?
Princess Yongmu nodded and looked at a maid. The maid brought the woman in. This woman could be the first customer.
People went in one after another. Lantian County was a rich county. Being able to bring a child out instead of working at home proved that there was no shortage of labor at home.
"10% discount for shopping with children. Free lifetime warranty and maintenance for leather bags, clothes, and cashmere toys."
Xiaolan shouted, "Discount!"
If there was a cut on a leather bag or other things, it could be repaired and the position of the cut could be turned into a beautiful decoration.
If the glass button fell off, it would cost money to buy the button. If the zipper was broken, it would be replaced for free.
The first person to go in bought a 10 mu cashmere doll, saying that when the child was a little older, she would play with it.
She bought a few new thin and special clothes that couldn't be worn outside.
Plus a satchel that she thought looked good, she spent a total of 36 mu. After the 10% discount, it would be 40 mu.
Sure enough, she was rich. 36,000 yuan was spent in one visit, and she only bought a few things.
When the sky turned dark, the people of Lantian County all left with their things. Xiao Lan found Princess Yongmu excitedly.
"Princess, guess how much it was sold today?" Xiao Lan looked around, afraid that others would hear.
"How much?" Princess Yongmu was curious. She did not expect to sell things after giving them away.
"820 mu and 730 mu." Xiao Lan gave the answer excitedly.
She did not know how much the cost was, but it should not be too expensive.
"Sell it later and give the money to Li Lang." Princess Yongmu was also very happy when she heard it. She also felt that it was worth the cost.
"Princess! We can't give it to him. It's a business relationship. We took Li Family Zhuangzi's things to help Li Family Zhuangzi sell them.
If Li Family Zhuangzi needs money, we can give all the money we earn to Li Family Zhuangzi, but we can't pay for the goods. "
Xiao Lan persuaded anxiously.
