This is indeed great news. He Youcai and Li have already decided on the day of marriage proposal. February 28th. In the meantime, while busy with the flower shop during this period, you can also take care of the new yard.
The flower shop has opened for three days. The atmosphere in the He family has been very tense these days. He Ze unexpectedly seemed to be infected by them. He became more serious and deleted, modified the leaflets several times and copied them again. Many of the charters were discussed with Mr. He.
These days he has been dealing with flower farmers in Huaniao Street. He set 300 potted pots of ordinary flower and plants for a price of five cents, and sold them for ten cents on the day of opening. Only customers who bought potted plants can participate in the subsequent lottery.
This was what he thought about when deleting and modifying it, not to make money, but to set a step.
The first prize in the lottery was a pot of Yaohuang peony prepared by him. Peony is the king of flowers, and Yaohuang is the most expensive variety among peony. The price in Qiongchuan County is at least 70 or 80 taels of silver. If you have the luck, it is not an exaggeration to say that you get rich overnight.
There are countless people in this world who think of pies falling from the sky. If anyone comes, you can draw free of charge. I am afraid that the paper balls they plan to use for lottery will not be enough to write, and it is easy to cause trouble.
It is better to eliminate some people early.
...
Everything is ready, three days pass in an instant.
On that day, the He family got up before dawn. Dad He, He Ze, He An, and Li changed into newly prepared clothes and got on the ox cart at home.
When they arrived at the village entrance, the ox cart stopped and He Ze went to pick up Lin Yu. When the two of them came back, the ox cart from his second uncle's family also arrived. The ones sitting on it were He Dalang, Liu San, and Zhao Fugui's son Zhao Cheng.
He Dalang and Liu San are childhood friends who have "like smells" with He Ze. As for Zhao Cheng, they are older than them, but they have known each other since childhood and are both well-known in the village. Considering that there are many people today, it is easy to cause chaos, He Ze invited the three of them to help.
Lin Yu got on the He family's ox cart, while He Ze and He Dalang and the others sat together. The two ox carts, one in front and one behind, galloping on the mountain path in the light of the morning light.
The flower shop had been decorated yesterday. Li went to the kitchen in the backyard to make a simple breakfast for them. After dinner, Mr. Cai also arrived - He Ze just held the pot of Yao Huang Mudan and walked around in front of him, and the latter recommended himself to become an employee of the flower shop, who was still the kind of contract that signed a three-year contract.
At the time of Si, the flower shop opens from inside on time.
The weather is very good today, and the golden sunshine is like a dream. In the sunshine, the flower shop is filled with dense crowds of people, chattering and noisy, standing half a street full of standing.
After Xu Qingsheng reminded the town that there were few people who could read, He Ze prepared not many leaflets. He hired more than a dozen people in the town, each of whom took a few leaflets, and shouted all over the county town while ringing the gong, and then posted them in a conspicuous place, which looked pretty good.
As the door opened, all the sounds came to an abrupt end, and the silver needle fell to the ground and could be heard.
Dad He walked in front, wearing a black robe and a high crown hat, dressed in a lively rich man.
He asked He Ze to launch it. Yesterday, the father and son were verbally fighting back and forth, and after an hour of battle, he ended in the failure of Dad He, so he stood here.
He Youcai was a little nervous. It was the first time he had experienced such a scene. His dark heads were staring at him. He Youcai straightened his back and calmed down, recalling the opening speech he had memorized over the past few days.
This was written by He Ze in imitation of memories of his previous life.
"Dear guests and friends, good morning! Thank you for taking the time to attend the opening ceremony of my Hejia Flower Shop, I..."
In order to make the voice louder, Mr. He drank a big bowl of water before coming out, but it was finally in vain to hear it.
Li stood behind, wearing a new dark blue dress, with a meticulous bun, and looked much younger. He said to He An next to him, "Look at your father like this, this is the first time I have seen him!"
"Em, did you find the feeling of seeing my father for the first time?" He Ze and Lin Yu stood a little further together, and turned around and smiled when he heard this.
"You little brat!"
Li glanced at him sideways and stopped speaking, but the smile on his face has not dissipated.
He Youcai's voice in front continued, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and hard work pays off. After a long period of careful preparation, the unremitting efforts of the dog son, and after Cai Qing, Mr. Cai's generous advice on flower cultivation skills. Today, at this moment, as the shopkeeper of the He Family Flower Shop, I officially announced that the 'The No. 1 Incense in the World' has officially opened!"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Youcai unveiled the red cloth on the plaque, and the five big words "The No. 1 incense in the world" were suddenly in his eyes. Before the doubts could be heard, the few people He Ze had already arranged in the crowd were the first to applaud. In just a moment, the applause came one after another, deafening.
President He Youcai breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Next was the highly anticipated lottery session. He Ze and his friends carried out the flower stands placed in small potted plants. The small potted plants were labeled with serial numbers, which was the order of the lottery later.
He Dalang and Zhao Cheng were tall and powerful, so He Ze asked them to maintain order. Liu San, Li, He Dad, and Lin Yu sold those potted plants at the door, He An welcomed guests, He Ze himself and Cai were responsible for introducing the flowers and plants here.
They are the real customer group of Huashou in the future.
...
There were crowds outside and it was not easy to get through, but the flower shop was a little empty. Except for a large counter in the middle, there were only a dozen flower stands in the huge flower shop.
Mr. He hasn't even touched the drawings he loved for nearly half a month. He also hired his former senior brother. The two of them stayed asleep and the result was these flower stands. Each flower stand not only ensured the reasonable design, but also ensured the beauty. They even considered which pot of flowers each flower stand was suitable for placing.
Sparse vines were crawling on the walls and roofs of the flower shop, with tender leaves of different shapes overlapping and green. - This was when the flower shop was repairing, He Ze suddenly had a whim. He asked the craftsmen to dig a shallow ditch along the wall without affecting the structure of the house, then filled it with soil, and planted some vines that like shade.
It is now growing and flourishing.
Basins of rare and famous flowers are placed on their exclusive flower stands. The colorful and green vines are graceful, either tangled or far away, but they are surrounded in the middle like stars arching the moon.
The sun rose a little, and the sunlight sprinkled in. The water droplets remaining on the petals and green leaves reflected a dazzling light, shining from afar. When Luo Zhanming squeezed in with the people next to him, he saw such a beautiful picture.
"So beautiful!" Even though he was very interested in flowers and plants, he couldn't help but praise him.
"Today there is no Yao Huang Peony. Such a scenery is not in vain." The people around him nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked into the flower shop with great strides. Amu, who had finally caught up with him, and another middle-aged scholar with a long beard, hurriedly followed him.
When Luo Zhanming's fan hit He Ze's shoulder, he was introducing a pot of daffodils to a fat uncle in purple. The petals are like snow and the stems are like jade. They are fresh and beautiful, with a light fragrance. This is a pot of double-petal daffodils, with the elegant name of jade.
A piece of paper was posted on the flower pot, which was written by Cai Qing, which was very detailed. In fact, he personally wrote an introduction to each of the forty-nine pots of flowers, which was to facilitate customers to understand.
When He Ze turned his head, the fat uncle also turned around. As soon as he saw the man next to Luo Zhanming, he looked shocked. Before he could speak, Luo Zhanming took the lead, "Uncle Hong, don't say anything, don't say anything, my eldest brother is here to appreciate the flowers today."
The fat man's words stuck in his throat. He was stunned for a moment, and then bowed deeply, "Hong Shun, the shopkeeper of Hong Ji Pawnshop, has met Mr. Zhou, so Mr. Zhou is safe."
"No need to be so polite. This time I came here just to enjoy the flowers. Manager Hong should treat me as an ordinary person." Zhou Wenda raised his hand and helped him up, then looked at He Ze on the side, who held his fists and bowed, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"You recognize me?"
"I don't recognize it, but I can see it." He Ze raised his head, and a hint of the young man's excitement and respect appeared on his face. It was just right. "Mr. Zhou and other people can visit the flower shop, so they are really shining. Mr. Appreciating flowers today, boy He Ze, is willing to serve him."
He Ze led several people to the flower shop. Two flower stands with the same design on the side of the counter, but they were placed in opposite directions. The placing table was the same as the sight of ordinary adults. The flower stands one on the left and one on the right, one on the pot of Yao Huang, one on the pot of Wei Zi, one on the king and one on the back, and the beauty was the most proud of the beauty.
"It's really Yao Huang! He's still so good..." Zhou Wenda, who was still as calm as a mountain, almost lost his composure.
He is a flower lover, especially peony. During the scientific research, he was fortunate to see Yao Huang Mudan, known as the "King of Flowers" at a flower viewing banquet in central Beijing. Since then, he has never forgotten it and thought that such a famous flower will be rare in this life. Unexpectedly, he has seen it in such a small town or a small flower shop. This is simply unbelievable!
Zhou Wenda struggled to turn his gaze to the Wei Zi next to him, and his tone was difficult to calm down, "Is this Wei Zi as famous as Yao Huang?"
"It is said that in ancient times, there was a young man who made a living by chopping wood. He was named Zhao Yi. Because of his kind heart, the peony flower fairy Wei Hua married. Three years later, Wei Hua was arrested and brought back to the heavenly court because he violated the laws of heaven and was combined with mortals. Before she left, she only left a pot of peony for Zhao Yi. From then on, Zhao Yi shed tears at the flower every day because of missing his wife, but she became terminally ill in a few years.
On the day he died, the pot of flowers bloomed with a purple-necked peony. The petals were stacked with thousands of layers, as big as a disk, and the fragrance spreads ten miles. The villagers were grateful to Zhao Yi and Wei Hua and his wife, so they named the pot of flowers 'Wei Zi'. Wei Zi's peony was named after this."
He Ze talked happily and added another sentence, "Of course, this is just a rural miscellaneous talk, which adds interest. However, there were poets in the previous dynasty who once sighed, "Yao, Huang, Wei Zi opened its orders, and they didn't realize that they all became hatred and withered." It is not difficult to see the status of Yao, Huang, Wei Zi in the flowers.
"Yao Huang and Wei Zi opened the order, and they didn't realize that they all had hatred. Good sentence!" Zhou Wenda smiled and looked at the two pots of peonies in front of him.
He Ze's eyes flashed slightly, and He An whispered a few words. The latter ran to the door of the flower shop a few steps and brought a small pot of potted plants over.
