The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 137 Blue and White Porcelain Listed

The busy days passed quickly, and when the first batch of blue and white porcelain was ordered during the pre-sale and sent back to the capital, it was already Silkworm Moon.

Although the blue and white porcelain was very popular during the pre-sale, but it was all samples, and only a few people had seen it.

After the two-day exhibition in Duobao Pavilion, all these blue and white porcelain samples were moved into the palace.As Xia Hongdi said, he doesn't dislike that this is a sample, so he won't take up those reserved places, so that those who order can have less regret.

Therefore, only after the nobles got the real objects at this moment, this elegant blue and white porcelain was spread, and some even held several appreciation meetings for it, inviting relatives and friends to watch it.

It is very different from the white porcelain and black porcelain of Daxia:
Blue and white porcelain, the porcelain is as fine and white as snow jade, better than Heshibi, and as white as moonlight.

The texture is as thin as paper, soft and clean.

The blue and white color is full of brilliance and color, and the charm is elegant.

The pattern is clean and elegant, and the decoration is both refined and popular.

Melting colors are better than Jiangnan ink and wash landscapes, and the body is transparent and exquisite like a beautiful woman standing tall.

Those nobles who love writing and ink can't wait to change into the study: blue and white flying bat pattern pen holder, blue and white plum sparrow pattern stove, blue and white fish playing with lotus leaf big belly and small mouth painting cylinder.

From blue and white porcelain teapots to teacups, the demand is the largest and the shapes are the most.

Even the group of children is considered, those small bowls and saucers, the patterns range from flowers and plants to animals and dolls, full of fun!

In addition to tableware, there is nothing that little girls are not interested in. Piggy banks in the shape of animals with big bellies and matryoshka dolls, cricket jars are also a favorite of boys.

In particular, after the blue and white porcelain jewelry was born, everyone from the 90-year-old Fengjun to the ten-year-old girl can find suitable clothes to wear.

The color of blue and white porcelain, in modern terms, is very high-end.

Whether it is made into earrings, fan pendants, skirts, or paired with pearls to make necklaces and bracelets, it can make the wearer look extremely elegant, and gold and silver can be matched with it.

Well, it’s popular, it’s made by these top users, if you have it, I want it too!
The number of the first batch of accessories is not that many, but it can make the first batch of wearers shine.

It's a pity that I missed the spring banquet, but it's also an excellent gift to give to my daughter-in-law who looks good to me.

The more people you see, the more you want to buy.

However, it is said that the goods for this year and next year are all sold out, and we can only wait for the second half of the year, when the goods of the merchants arrive and then buy at a premium.

For girls from big families in the capital, the dowry lists all specify that the dowry porcelain should be replaced with blue and white porcelain, and they cannot be compared to other little sisters.

Merchants are gearing up, and they are anxiously looking forward to selling to affluent places like Jiangnan after their orders are signed, just to let the heat in the capital ferment.

The more famous the blue and white porcelain became, the more Zhongqin Bo was mentioned, except for his good way of making and selling porcelain by hand.There is also Dongcheng, which was planned and designed by him and is under construction. It is said that the repaired houses are expected to sell for sky-high prices.

According to the wives of low-ranking Beijing officials who live in the south gate, the house at the south gate is simply too easy to live in, not to mention the hot kang in winter.

The toilet and shower made this group of people exaggerate to the sky, saying that the old people in the family felt that going to the hut was a blessing, who is not old and has inconvenient legs and feet?

And in the kitchen, once the white tiles are pasted, it's not easy to clean. The cooks are in a great mood.

The concrete floor is smooth and easy to clean. From the door to the road, it is all concrete, and the shoes will not be dirty in rainy days.

And these are said to be low-profile versions. In Dongcheng, cement and tiles have more advanced and more complex usages. These have spread as people on the construction site work and return home.

Some wealthy businessmen who have heard about it a long time ago, but are still on the sidelines, can't help being moved. They are not short of money. No matter how the house is remodeled later, it will not match these, right?
Seeing the muddy legs of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion bouncing around day by day, the Empress Dowager Shangsheng's energy was getting weaker and weaker. Thinking that she had more important things to do, she could only bear not to mention them.

Xu Mengniang has never had a chance to meet Xia Hongdi so far, she went to live in the Yanxi Palace of Shu Concubine Xu Waner for a while, and she didn't even see the shadow of the emperor.

Seeing her look three times a day, he hesitated to speak.Concubine Shu said coldly: "Sister, no matter what the Xu family's women look like or how talented they are, they are useless in this palace!"

Xu Mengniang didn't believe in this evil, the sister-in-law was just holding it up too much, men, who doesn't like tenderness and carelessness, she has patience and time.

My sister-in-law is much worse than her in appearance, and her talent is not as good as hers. If you speak so bitterly, you are just jealous of her!

She had already planned that if she had the chance to meet the emperor, she would first use her talent to attract him, and then use her enthusiasm to overwhelm him, to see how he escaped from her hand.

Apart from state affairs, Xia Hongdi's thoughts are all in Empress Gao's stomach, and she tells stories to her younger brother with Princess Jingyao every day.

The airy little padded jacket often goes to the father's private treasury for the little brother, picks up a lot of treasures, and is dedicated to being a good sister to the father.

Empress Gao raised the baby really well, she didn't have morning sickness, and she wasn't too obese. She felt that giving birth safely was not a big problem.

The queen, who feels that she is in good condition, will ask about her business every once in a while, especially paying attention to her daughter's dowry workshop.

This year, many businessmen have come to Qingyuan to manage their affairs, and they want to talk about joining the hot pot restaurant. They plan to try it out in Chengdu and several prefectures near the capital.

The franchisee finally selected by Chengdu Mansion was actually an old acquaintance of Cuihua and the others.

The Fu family who escaped together back then, the Fu family had a great career, escaped disaster after disaster, and rebuilt their home after the catastrophe.

There are also relatives in the family doing business in the capital, and when they return to Chengdu during the Chinese New Year, it is inevitable to talk about rare things in the capital.

"If you want me to say, this hot pot is most suitable for us Sichuan people, who are humid all the year round. Once you eat this chili, you will immediately feel comfortable."

"Then can this hot pot be brought to our Chengdu mansion?"

"It is said that we will attract investment after the next year, and what kind of franchise store will we open, cousin, your family can give it a try."

"This hot pot is not only delicious, but the restaurant also sings operas. The story told also happened in Chengdu Mansion. It tells the story of Mrs. Zhongqin and the Empress who were trapped in Chengdu Mansion!"

"If this is the case, we can bring this opera back to Chengdu, cousin, the business will explode!"

"Let me think about it!" When he spoke, the young master of the Fu family was already moved.

I entered Beijing before the end of the new year, catching up with the first batch of franchisee general elections.

After having a meal of hot pot and watching a play in the capital, Young Master Fu spent a lot of money to build relationships, and finally broke out of the siege among the wolves.

Fujia signed a franchise agreement for two stores with a franchise fee of 1 taels a year for one store.

In addition to the franchise fee, the hot pot base material needs to be purchased from the Royal Workshop, and the payment is monthly.

The main store provides cooking methods for hot pot side dishes, as well as business training for the servants in the store, as well as training for interior decoration of the store.

There are four prefectures near the capital, and a total of eight franchised stores have been signed. Including the four stores in the capital city and the two franchised stores in Chengdu, their workshops will provide base materials for [-] hot pot restaurants.

As for the franchise stores, they can only charge 10 taels of silver a year for just the franchise fee, plus the hot pot bottom material. After a rough calculation, all the franchise stores can sell tens of thousands of taels of silver for the bottom material money in one year.

And they only need to make seasoning and transportation, and now the road is easy to go, these are not considered troubles.

Empress Gao held the blue and white porcelain water cup and listened to Qingyuan settle the accounts for her. Princess Jingyao heard that it was her workshop's business, so she also listened to it in a decent way.

"Master, after this calculation, it is very cost-effective to open a franchise store, and the franchise fee is charged every year, and we still have regular buyers for our hot pot base."

"Well, let's try it first. It's not in my hands, and I don't know what these merchants can do. Besides, with the current output of the workshop, I can't do it anymore!"

"The training for the franchisees has been arranged. Their masters will send ten people from each family to receive training within ten days. Master, do you have any orders?"

"Is there enough manpower in your workshop? Is this a stir-fry base and a dish training?"

"The slaves have already bought some quick-witted women in other places one after another. In the capital, I'm afraid it's easy for the slaves to buy other people's nails, and they can transfer some people back to Beijing from the oyster sauce shop."

"Well, it's very good for you to arrange this way, but you have to make an agreement with Mrs. Zhongqin, otherwise the bean paste on her side may not be enough."

"Yes, the slaves must be properly arranged."

Indeed, there is no shortage of peppers for hot pot bases. Huangzhuang has used them to grow peppers this year. What they lack is Cuihua's bean paste.

Cuihua did not panic when she received a surge in orders. The villagers must have grown a lot of peppers this year, and she can still buy them. She will continue to buy broad beans and grow them on wasteland.

Aunt Li's task this year is heavy. Cuihua has given her the right to recruit temporary and permanent workers by making four times more Doubanjiang than last year.

The food safety issue of the bean paste is the most important, and the Yuan Mansion in Dali Village has become the main drying ground.

The daily work of stirring and drying can only be entrusted to Aunt Li and Mrs. Zhang, and the third sister-in-law Qian Alan can also help.

It is also the season of spring plowing, and the village is full of enthusiasm. Even though many families planted peppers last year and saved a lot of seeds, this year, more people came to Yuan's Mansion in Dali Village to order pepper seedlings.

Everyone felt that the pepper seedlings in their mansion grew stronger and had a higher survival rate.

Young Master Fu, who is still waiting for the servants at home to come to train him, is one of them.

He found Steward Li and explained his intentions. He wanted to order a batch of peppers to be planted in the land of Sichuan. Butler Li didn't know whether this pepper could be transplanted so far.

When asked about Cuihua coming, Cuihua was delighted. The hometown of pepper should be Shu.

Isn't it just a coincidence to ask about the origin of this Young Master Fu!It turns out that there is such a fate with her family!

Cuihua readily agreed, and told Steward Li about her relationship with the Fu family, and Steward Li also directly called her fate.

Young Master Fu, who had been waiting for a long time, was stunned after hearing what Butler Li said. He never expected that the person who walked with his wife back then was actually Mrs. Zhongqin today.

His wife has praised this Mrs. Zhongqin a lot, and he has become a daughter-in-law.

Young Master Fu, who is a fine human being, also gave an extra heavy gift, expressing his gratitude to his wife for taking care of him on the way to escape from the famine.

After asking his master for his opinion, Steward Li accepted his generous gift.

However, Yuan Fu confiscated his money for the chili seedlings he ordered this year, saying it was a gift in return.

This really made Young Master Fu even more happy. He secretly thought that after returning to Chengdu Mansion, it would be better for his wife and Mrs. Zhongqin to get in touch. Perhaps, their family could have a better development.
