Take the mall to Datang

"Tomorrow is not too late, but you can tell them the good news first, haha, that's it for today, let's go."

After everyone had left, Yuan Shan signaled that the candle could be blown out. Although the candle was good, it was an open flame after all, so there were still potential safety hazards.

So Yuanshan wanted to make ceramic products to perfect the daily needs of the people of the Tang Dynasty. For example, put a cup-like candlestick under the candle, even if the candle tilted and fell over, it would not be dangerous. The stud-shaped candle holders are rare. After all, candles are very expensive, and they are not commonly used by ordinary people, and their brightness is also very average.

Then Qin Si took out a glass jar that looked like a gourd. This was the retro kerosene lamp that Yuan Shan bought from the mall.

Gourd-shaped, with kerosene on the bottom, an adjustment knob in the middle, and a lampshade on top, with a long asbestos wick inside, just like two alcohol lamps stacked together.

It is very bright to place one on the boss's desk. He also plans to make several small tables on the wall of the study that can be used to place kerosene lamps, so that the whole room will be bright. He plans to place four kerosene lamps in the study.

"Master, do you see if the teapot painted by Qimeng is the same as what the young master said?" Qimeng was drawing with a pencil, and she showed Yuanshan just after drawing.

"That's right, that's how it is. These patterns are really beautiful. Qimeng is indeed a master of calligraphy and painting. She is so imaginative. When you are free, you can spend more patterns on the cups. Anyway, as long as you can All the things fired with clay are painted with some patterns, and they will be used in the manor later." Yuan Shan said appreciatively.

Yuanshan's copywriting design combined with Qimeng's painting skills, the resulting pattern is designed to be very bold.

Plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are not what Yuan Shan wants. Only illustrations such as lines and circles can reflect Yuan Shan’s state of mind. For example, a mess of lines can completely explain his complicated inner feelings. This is what he wants. of.

However, Qimeng is not his kind of imagination and knowledge after all, but the traditional patterns and patterns are indeed very beautiful.

Yuan Shan also started to draw with a pencil, and used these drafts to Qi Meng as a reference. Yuan Shan was amazed by the patterns processed by Qi Meng.

"The fish bones drawn by the young master are so cute, what kind of painting method is this?" Qimeng who was next to him asked curiously.

"This is called a stick figure. This fish bone is cute. Haha, Lord Ben Hou will draw a lot, but today is too late, so I will draw it tomorrow." After talking, everyone came out of the study and went back to their rooms.

Now that the financial problems of the Yuan Family Manor have been resolved, including the wages paid, there are still more than 100 taels of gold left. There are too many things I want to do, but I have to order one by one for the things that can be done now...

The Qin family used candles that night. No one will know what Qin Qiong and Mrs. Jia did...

Qin Wang Mansion, with the help of the faint light of candles, added a strong and warm atmosphere to the bedroom, but there were too few candles, and the meaning of using them as sentiment was more obvious than the lighting effect.

The candles sent by Yuan Shan are all ordinary candles, they are not as bright as the oversized candle wicks placed on the lanterns in front of the shop, but such candles are brighter, have a larger flame, and burn faster and require more paraffin wax. There are many, and you have to be careful to worry about the lantern being burned. This night, the three night watchmen took turns to take care of it and there was no accident.

A warm and peaceful night passed, because Yuanshan had a good rest because of the mosquito coils. When he got up in the morning, he first listened to the situation of the hunter training class, and then went to Chang'an.

After the door opened, there were not many people in Hepingfang, and there were still many people buying matches. It took time to count the matches, so I felt that there were more people waiting.

Just when Yuanshan was bored and a little drowsy, he finally heard that someone came to buy candles. The news about the building materials store had spread yesterday, so it was true that someone came to ask the price of candles.

As a store salesperson, Zhang San immediately greeted him with a smiling face, and began to patiently introduce the products in detail. He also took out sample candles and lit them with matches. The box next to him was full of light, giving people an intuitive impression. a feeling of.

"Objectively, how much do you want to buy? The candle store celebrates its opening. Buy ten candles and get one free within a month. Don't miss this opportunity. Buy twenty candles and get two free, and so on. Buy more and get free. There is no limit." Zhang San worked hard to introduce according to the discount that Yuanshan had explained before.

Before the other party could speak, a fat middle-aged man rushed in and shouted, "Give me five thousand candles."

Yuan Shan saw that the person who spoke was the rich second generation from yesterday. This guy is really in a hurry. Wouldn't he have to give away 250 more for a small transaction of [-], which is equivalent to earning [-] less money? .

Chapter 100 Turkic Invasion

"Hehe, isn't this Chen Changshun from Pingkangfang? Why don't you want to buy this candle?" Zheng Qi said immediately after entering the room.

"It's shopkeeper Zheng. Your store has been out of stock of beeswax recently. I didn't hear that it's also available here, so buy something emergency." Chen Changshun said.

"Boy, I want [-] candles and send them to the Red House in Pingkangfang. Can I pay by cash on delivery?" Chen Changshun asked.

Zhang San looked towards Yuan Shan, saw his young master nodding and agreed, saying: "Okay, I'll ask someone to come with you."

Then the two servants went out with bundled candles and went directly to the red building...

Chen Changshun was even happier when he heard that gold and silver could be used to pay bills. In Datang, copper coins are the most magnetic coins. Gold and silver are good for luxury goods. If you want to pay daily bills, go to a gold shop to convert them into money. That's right, there's a difference in price.

The checkout was very quick. Gold ingots and silver coins were added, which saved the two servants a lot of trouble.

In the store, Zheng Qi yelled loudly, but Chen Changshun did order the goods first, so naturally he had to deal with them first.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, I'm really sorry. The candles are sold out. We accept orders for [-] candles. You need to pay half of the deposit first, and they will be shipped to you in ten days." Yuan Shan said personally.

"Does it take ten days to have so many candles?" Zheng Qi wondered.

Yuan Shan thought that this guy was too slow, so he said: "Ten days is already the fastest speed. If shopkeeper Zheng can't wait, then you can only come when the store has stock in stock."

Zheng Qixin said, "You think I'm stupid. Buy [-] candles and get [-] candles for free. On average, each candle costs less than [-] Wen. How could such a good opportunity be missed?"

This Zheng Qi asked the craftsmen to study since he came home yesterday, but soon he realized that the key to candles lies in the production of raw materials, such as natural beeswax, there are raw materials to have candles, only the formula has a fart use.

So I came here today to discuss business. Who would have thought that this Lord Hou has a lot of money, so he buys ten and gets one free. This is the first time he has seen such a deal, so naturally he will not miss such a good opportunity. The family has plenty of money, do you still care about these three melons and two dates? It's not too late to make a relationship first and then discuss business.

The production formula of this new type of candle is what he needs. When he took advantage of it, he also wanted to test the production of this candle, so he casually ordered [-] candles.

But even so, he missed the production capacity of the candle shop. He thought it would be enough, and he could embarrass the people in this shop. Unexpectedly, it only takes ten days to make a reservation. What kind of concept is this? The imperial court supplies beeswax, and so many candles are no different from making money directly.

"Okay, let's make a reservation first, and Zheng will come back in ten days." After saying that, he left ten and ten taels of gold ingots and left.

Yuan Shan saw that Jin Zi's eyes were full of golden light, and there was still a final payment of 150 taels of gold, so he suddenly shouted excitedly: "Haha, it's a whole two hundred and five."

"Clean up and go home immediately. How can one candle machine meet the needs? We will use ten sets to make today." The servant in charge of driving the car has long been used to his young master talking to himself, and ignores it as if he didn't listen to anything. .

In the inner courtyard, Dugu Ruolan saw that Yuan Shan had just gone out for a noon, and now he came back, and brought back a lot of gold ingots, and then heard that a lot of candles were sold, and was also happy for a long time.

In just a few days of hard work, there are more than 200 taels of gold in cash, and 150 taels of gold are still waiting for the final payment. How can this not make people happy? The family can be considered a lot of money.

After entering the house and changing into a suit of convenient clothes, I went to the old house of the Yuan family, which is now the candle production workshop.

The candle machine was unloaded from the carriage, and the servants who produced the candles didn't ask too much. Anyway, they knew that ten thousand candles would be produced indoors in ten days from now, and each person would be rewarded with five hundred cash and new clothes.

There are additional bonuses and subsidies for exceeding the target output. Driven by the reward system, how could these servants not be crazy.

Within a few days at the end of May, Yuan Shan received Zheng Qi's final payment. At the same time, Steward Zhou, Yan Bei and others purchased a large amount of livestock in various cattle and horse markets, including one hundred horses, one hundred sows, The ten cows spent a total of 300 taels of gold, and at the same time bought part of the grain. After a few days of tossing around, Yuan Shan immediately only had 100 taels of gold left.

And now the left yard next to the inner house has been fully started. The cement and bricks are provided by the kiln, and the firewood raw materials are sufficient. It took more than 50 craftsmen and more than 100 helpers to complete the overall building outline in three days.

It has to be said that the construction speed of cement and bricks is one block, especially the fifty craftsmen are all skilled masons. In modern society, five or six people can build a three-story self-built building in one month.

Now there are more than 50 craftsmen working together, most of whom know masons, such a room has three or five people working together, how could it be slow.

The construction speed is astonishingly fast, and the cement factory and the brick factory are desperately producing, but the cement business is only piecemeal. Except for the 250 tons of cement ordered by King Qin, he has not taken over any serious business, but this does not affect Yuanshan. Mood.

Anyway, building materials are used for construction, and Yuanjia Manor still needs these. It is understandable that the candle store is more profitable than matches. Chen Changshun who bought candles.

After two transactions, Yuan Shan also got acquainted with Chen Changshun. It turned out that Pingkangfang was the first red area in Datang. It was called brothels in ancient times, and this was a group of brothels. .

In ancient times, it was called courtyards and pavilions, which were first- and second-class brothels, and rooms, offices, etc. were relatively low-level. Large and small, they were engaged in night work, so the demand for candles was naturally large. Use oil lamps, but there are no candles in oil lamps so emotional.

After buying a large number of candles, the business of Chunmanyuan has improved. This kind of industry itself has no wind. It's kind of amazing to be able to do that.

If you make money and earn Yuanshan, you will be happy, no matter what you do, he is just a candle seller, and he will be satisfied if he sells as much as he can.
