Chapter 80 Jade Pavilion
Three years ago, the Zeng family banned the gate of Chu's house, so Xia Zihan secretly sent He Donglin to invite Master Lin to teach her and Qi Lan, Qi Mei, Nuan Yu and Nuan Xiang how to open a shop and keep accounts.
Qi Lan, Qi Mei and Nuan Xiang expressed a strong interest in opening a store to make money. Only the introverted Nuan Yu would get dizzy and want to doze off when she saw the numbers.
There was no other way, so Xia Zihan had no choice but to keep her by his side, be her maid, and continue to serve her, while the three of them, Qi Lan, Qi Mei and Nuan Xiang, continued to follow Master Lin and learn how to do business.
Soon, Xia Zihan took out two thousand taels of silver and borrowed ten thousand taels of silver from the Zeng family to open the first jewelry shop and the first ready-made clothing store.
The boys in the shop were all transferred from the Chu residence. Qi Lan and Qi Mei were the shopkeepers, while Xia Zihan was only responsible for producing ten paintings for the two shops every month.
Therefore, in the past three years, she has drawn all the designs of jewelry and ready-made clothes sold in her shop one by one.
In her previous life, she lived in the capital city where the aristocrats of the Great Sheng Dynasty gathered together until she was nineteen before getting married. Even though she didn't go out much, there was always Xia Ziying who liked to buy jewelry and new clothes, and she bought some good things. He also likes to show off in front of her, even if she wants to remember it.
And before her grandmother passed away, when she lived in the Chu family, the clothes she wore among the noble ladies in the capital circle were definitely not inferior to those of the princesses and noble daughters.
Therefore, she knows exactly what fashionable jewelry and clothing will be popular in the capital in the past ten years.
When the nobles are idle and bored, they like to hold banquets and get together. They wear gold, jade, silk and satin, and dress solemnly and luxuriously. They like to show off their fashionable clothes, fashionable headdresses, and show off their own use in front of others. Rouge, gouache, exquisite accessories.
Therefore, Xia Zihan made full use of this psychology of the nobles and made tailor-made items for them, using the most expensive gold, jade, and jade brocade to make the most fashionable things.
Of course, the price is also the most expensive.
Because cheap things are not worthy of the worth of some noble people. Besides, what noble people lack most is never money. What they lack most is the most beautiful, expensive and unique things.
Because of the word "noble", because it is unique and unique, Xia Zihan's shop became an instant hit on the first day it opened, attracting many Jiangnan ladies and ladies, rushing to buy it.
And her shop has become famous in Yi'an City so quickly. Besides kneeling down from east to west, there is another reason.
The jewelry and clothes in the south of the Yangtze River are bright and colorful, and the flowers are fancy. Although they are beautiful and colorful, they lack the grace and splendor that all ladies long for.
Just like roses, they are alluring and colorful, but they lack the elegance, splendor and dignity of peonies.
And what she drew exactly filled this gap.
Xia Zihan entered through the back door of Cuiyu Xuan and did not forget to tell the boy who opened the door for her, "Invite the two shopkeepers to Master Chen's workshop." Then, she walked directly towards Master Chen's workshop.
Master Chen is the jewelry and jade maker of Cuiyuxuan. He is in his forties. He is tall and dark-skinned. His beard covers half of his face, making it impossible to see his entire face.
From the appearance, he is just like Zhang Fei, with big arms, round waist, big body and thick body, and ugly appearance.
But who knew that such a disgusting man could conquer the heaven and earth with one hand and possess uncanny craftsmanship?
