Fragrance Returned

Ding Zhuang refers to "fighting" as "fighting against injustice."

Everyone knew what he meant.

Ding Zhuang continued to brag, "Aunt Tao was selling sesame cakes in the town, and she was blackmailed by two bad boys once. I am a righteous person, how could I let people in my village be bullied and start a fight with a bad boy who was three or four years older than me? . I beat them away with one against two. Hey, Aunt Tao thanked me and gave me two sesame seed cakes to eat. "

When he was ten years old, he told the story of "one versus two" many times. The previous argument was that my family was poor and I really wanted to eat sesame cakes, so I helped the aunt who sold sesame cakes to fight. It was the first time in his life that he had eaten sesame seed cakes, and they tasted so delicious that he felt as if he had ascended to heaven.

He ate half and left one and a half and ran home for his mother and brothers to eat.

It turned out that he was helping Tao Juren's mother fight.

Lilac dark music. With this fate, he might be able to have a relationship with Tao Juren.

Ding Zhao also began to recruit people to build a new yard. The size of the house is the same as that of the old courtyard, with the front and back flush, and a moon door in the middle wall connecting the two courtyards.

The backyard of the old home is a vegetable plot, a cow pen, a chicken pen, and a toilet. In the backyard of the new yard, I listened to Ding Xiang’s suggestion to plant flowers and plants. Ding Xiang had always wanted to plant lilacs, and it was just as she wanted.

Farming is busy now, so wages are more expensive.

Ding Youcai and Wang were tending the fields at home, and Ding Li brought Ding Dafu over to build a house.

Beginning in early February, Ding Xiang, Ding Zhao, Ding Liren, and Ding Lilai wrote many "advertising slogans" and had them posted on trees and walls throughout the county and docks, as well as in nearby towns.

This was not allowed in the previous life, but no one cares about it in this era. A group of illiterate people who enjoyed watching the fun gathered around. The literate people read loudly with great interest.

Poetic slogan:

Ten inches of flowers of wealth and glory, and nine deer with the same heart.

There are thousands of knots in the heart, like nine deer with double threads.

…

Straightforward advertising slogan:

To be an elegant woman, go to Jiulu to weave and embroider.

To be a successful man, go to Jiulu to weave and embroider.

Be a different person and go to Jiulu to weave and embroider

…

Simple slogan:

All you can see is Jiulu.

Colorful bracelets and colorful clothes are all in Jiulu.

…

Ding Zhao and others laughed while writing, wondering what was in Xiangxiang's little head.

They also asked Zhao, Zhang Yu and others to make dozens of coats made of blue coarse cloth and gave them to dock vendors and coachmen. The front and back of the coats were embroidered with the words "Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion" with golden silk thread. If anyone asks, tell them where the embroidery workshop is and what day it will open.

I got a coat and ten coins for free, and those people rushed to get it, thinking it was a big pie falling from the sky.

On February 24th, Jiulu Zhixiu Workshop was completely renovated.

Let it dry for two days.

On the twenty-sixth day, Ding Zhao drove an ox cart with Zhang, Ding Xiang, and Gong, and hired several mule carts in the town to load the clothes and knots and move them to the shop.

Ding Xiang and others entered the shop from the front street, and several cars entered the shop from the back door of an alley.

The big characters of "Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion" sparkle in the sunlight.

From the outside, the shop is grand and luxurious, in line with the aesthetics of this era, and is the most eye-catching shop on this street.

When you enter the store, you feel like you have entered another world. The counters, cabinets, and walls are completely different from other stores.

Then hang various types of wealthy knots, concentric knots, and framed embroidery on the wall, which is really magnificent and unique.

In the evening, Ding Xiang lived in the shop with Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, Zhang and Gong, and continued to clean up the next day.

The shop has hired a cashier, a buyer, and three waiters. We also hired two female waiters, a cook, and four embroiderers who took turns working.

The purchaser was Wang Shu who had tipped off shopkeeper Gong before.

Mrs. Zhang felt that there were too many people and said, "My dear, there are so many people who are just eating, it will cost a lot of money."

Ding Xiang said, "Not many. If we are too busy, we will recruit more people in the future."

Opened on the 28th.

Early that morning, Ding Xiang put on the sky-blue jacket with chrysanthemum buckles that she had already made, and underneath she was wearing a tassel-colored tunic and a gauze skirt of the same color.

Incredibly beautiful.

Ding Zhuang frowned and said, "Xiangxiang is so good-looking, so don't go out to show off."

Shopkeeper Gong wears a double-breasted jacket with a pipa plate buckle, while the waitress and the embroiderer wear a long skirt with a diagonal collar and a plum blossom plate buckle. The clerk wears a slant-collared robe with a buckle, and the shopkeeper and waiter wear a short-breasted jacket with a buckle.

Not long after, Ding Shan, Ding Zhen, and Xia Sanfen arrived.

Ding Xiang prepared clothes for the two little girls, including pink silk with buttoned placket and knee-length skirts, a moon-white middle coat and a pink skirt.

Their task today is to walk around the embroidery workshop and then outside the door.

The reward is this suit of clothes.

Wearing such beautiful clothes and having it, the two little girls narrowed their eyes with smiles. They kept walking and walking, even running to the hut.

At the beginning of the year, Qian Dahu and Aunt Qian brought a few acquaintances, Ding Shuniang brought her son, daughter-in-law and acquaintances, and more people who saw the advertisement came.

There was a burst of firecrackers. Although there was an extra scar on his face, shopkeeper Gong, who still retained his charm, led his men to open the door of Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion and respectfully invited customers to enter the store.

When everyone saw Shopkeeper Gong and others, their eyes were exhausted. Once we entered the shop, our eyes were even more exhausted.

There are many people today, so Ding Zhuang and others act as temporary security guards to guard against those who fish in troubled waters. Ding Erfu also came and joined the security ranks very consciously.

Yesterday, I gave six pairs of chrysanthemum flower buckles to the county magistrate and four pairs of plum blossom flower buckles to the master. I hope the master can come to the shop today.

Not only the master came, but also his daughter-in-law and the county magistrate's daughter-in-law came.

Pan buckles, clothes with pan buckles, large wealthy knots, and concentric knots that were first launched on the market are the most popular.

The buckles are very expensive. The simplest one-word buckles cost 500 taels of silver per pair, and the most expensive buckles with gold threads are sold for 10 taels of silver per pair. There are still many people buying them.

People who are not particularly wealthy buy these three items directly, while those who are particularly wealthy directly ask the embroiderer to measure the size and choose the materials to make clothes suitable for buckles.

Fortunately, we have a lot of things prepared, so we are not afraid of selling out.

There were so many people that Qian Dahu and his wife did not buy anything and joined the security team. Ding Shuniang took her daughter-in-law to the backyard to help Zhang and the two embroiderers.

Ding Xiang stayed in the shop for a few days, discussing matters that had not been thought of before with shopkeeper Gong, and making improvements. On the evening of the third day of March, I hired a donkey cart with Ding Zhuang and Zhang to return to Beiquan Village.

Business was so good that she recruited ten more embroiderers in the county. When Zhang returned to the village, she would also recruit five skillful women to come to her home to tie large knots, bracelets and do some simple needlework.

Since they could make regular money and were close to home, many women with good skills came to sign up. Five of them were chosen by the Zhang family and the Yang Hu family. Zhao and Zhang Yu didn't come. One of them will accompany her husband to open his own shop in the county town, and the other is about to give birth to a child.

After that, not only people from the provincial capital, Jiaozhou, and nearby prefectures and counties, but also businessmen from the capital and other provinces came to Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion to buy buckles, clothes, large knots, and colorful bracelets.
