In the past few days, Cheng Wanwan had been planning the lotus pond. She really didn't expect that Li Zheng would take the initiative to talk to her about this matter.
She sat down in the main room, lit a candle, then took out the drawings she had drawn in the past few days, and formally discussed the matter.
"It turns out that Dashan Niang already had a clue in her mind." Li Zheng looked at the drawings and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "How did your brain grow? Why are you so smart?"
Cheng Wanwan didn't dare to admit that she was smart. She was a modern person. She saw a lot, so she naturally thought a lot. It was already very embarrassing to directly use the successful experiences that others had found out, and it was hard to be accused of being smart again. hat of.
She said: "Next, the lotus pond will attract a lot of people, and the people who come are all people who can afford to spend their spare money. The villagers can use this to make money. For example, for this hunting, let Hunter Zhao delineate the place and choose some The men of the patrol team escorted me and made some things. I think those who play are willing to try it. There are also lake tours and river tours. There are lotus flowers in the lake, and our Dahe Village is surrounded by continuous mountain peaks and infinite beauty... "
"As long as people come, the village's economy will be boosted. They always have to eat, drink tea, eat snacks, and go to the hut. These small and necessary tasks are distributed to different people, and the villagers all benefit. Have you? Also, we can vigorously develop the Dutch culture. Last time, Master Yu sold a lotus scene for a high price of five taels of silver. What if the villagers carved a lotus, bamboo carving, wood carving, and made some knickknacks? , or embroider some lotus handkerchiefs, I think some people are willing to spend this money..."
She talked a lot, but also in detail, and finally expanded the picture. If we look at this matter from the perspective of the entire Dahe Village, almost everyone in the village will benefit.
Li Zheng's expression was dull, continued to be dull, continued to be shocked, his eyes were filled with disbelief and respect...
"These details require the cooperation of the villagers to complete, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a month." Cheng Wanwan wrote the time on the paper, "And half a month later, the lotus flowers will bloom one after another. Starting from the first day of June, the village will How does Li Zheng feel about formally receiving the visitors who came to enjoy the lotus?"
"Okay, okay!" Li Zhengzheng nodded, "What you said is great, just follow what you said, and I will make the whole village cooperate!"
For projects that require the efforts of the whole village, the money earned will be paid to the market and dividends will be distributed at the end of the year.
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "I'll leave the other things to Uncle Li Zheng, and I'll be responsible for the publicity."
First, ask Master Yu to draw a promotional picture and post it, then write some simple advertising leaflets and distribute them at the entrance of the school in nearby counties and towns. The purpose of this is to promote it, and second, it only accepts reservations in advance. After all, the space is limited, so come and have a look. It’s full of customers after two waves, and you can barely handle it after two waves, but you really can’t handle it after three waves...
The next day, Cheng Wanwan specifically contacted Li Zheng about the matters that needed to be arranged, and Li Zheng arranged them one by one.
After this day, it will be the day when the eldest wife of the Qian family will hold a birthday banquet.
She could expect that those invited would be the matrons of the house or rich ladies. This group of people would definitely dress up in a fancy way when going out, and they would definitely bring their maids with them. After all, she is a Sui Ru girl, so her dress should not be too shabby, nor should she be too shabby. There was no pomp at all.
Wei Xiaohai was responsible for driving the carriage, and Wei Hongying was responsible for waiting on the carriage. The three of them got on the carriage together.
Today Cheng Wanwan is wearing a floor-length skirt in the color of water clouds, embroidered with jasmine flowers, and auspicious clouds embroidered on the skirt and cuffs. It looks very stylish.
There was a golden hairpin on her head. There was also a lotus scene on the hairpin. When she moved her head, the dragonfly wings on the lotus trembled, as if they were about to fly.
The earrings also have lotus pendants, hanging vertically like water drops, which is very beautiful.
She is wearing a complete set of jewelry, including hairpins, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Everything is very delicate. Even people who don't like jewelry will probably notice it.
Before noon, the carriage arrived in Baiyun County, and then drove slowly to the entrance of Qian's Mansion.
This is Cheng Wanwan's first visit to the Qian's house. I have to say that the Qian's house is really grand. There are two majestic stone lions, red lanterns hanging high, and many flower pots placed at the door, which looks full of flowers and lively.
"The people of Suiru are here to welcome you, but you are welcome from afar!"
Mr. Qian saw Cheng Wanwan's carriage at a glance, and immediately abandoned the other guests and came forward.
When the other guests heard the word Sui Ruren, they quickly looked back.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a little girl with an unattractive appearance came out first, and then helped a woman in a water-colored dress down.
The woman was dressed in silk and brocade. She was different at first glance. It turned out that this woman was the famous Suiru.
Mrs. Qian's eyes lit up and her gaze fell on the hairpin on Cheng Wan's elbow. She was a person who liked to collect jewelry, but she had never seen such a delicate hairpin. This must be a good thing from the capital, that is. Only Sui Ru is worthy of it.
She hurriedly followed her father-in-law to greet him: "I've met Sui Ruren. Thank you Sui Ruren for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the birthday banquet of a common woman. It's a great honor for a common woman!"
"Hui'er and I are very familiar. You are Hui'er's mother. Don't be so polite in front of me by claiming to be a civilian woman." Cheng Wanwan presented the congratulatory gift and said with a smile, "Mrs. Qian looks so young. I feel like I'm thirty-five at most, but I can't tell that I'm forty."
Mrs. Qian pursed her lips and smiled: "Sui Ru is really good at complimenting others, just think that I am only thirty-five. Today is my thirty-fifth birthday party. Come on, go in and sit and talk."
After Mr. Qian took Cheng Wanwan in, he didn't stay any longer. After all, it was a gathering of women, and it would be inconvenient for him as an old man to stay here.
There were already many people in the Qian Mansion Banquet Hall, all ladies and ladies who were familiar to Mrs. Qian. When they saw Cheng Wanwan coming in, everyone saluted.
Cheng Wanwan has a gentle temper, talks with a smile, and quickly gets along with everyone.
Some bold young ladies came over to ask.
"Where did you buy the hairpin on Sui Ruren's head?"
"I have never seen such a style before. What kind of flower is this? The dragonfly is so realistic. The earrings and bracelets are also of this style."
"I have seen it in paintings. This is a lotus flower, also called lotus or hibiscus. It is said that it can only be found in the south."
"This flower is so beautiful!"
"..."
Cheng Wanwan took off the gold hairpin on her head: "I went to Huzhou not long ago. Some southern vendors were selling jewelry on the street. I thought it looked good, so I bought it. If I have more, I will give it to you. Unfortunately, I only have it. That’s all that’s left.”
"This lotus is really lifelike and lifelike." Mrs. Qian said hesitantly, "I heard from Hui'er that there is a hundred acres of lotus pond in Dahe Village, which is owned by Sui Ruren. I wonder... is it convenient for us to go and enjoy the lotus?"
She heard what Hui'er meant. The Suiru people seemed to welcome outsiders to enjoy the flowers, but she was afraid that Hui'er understood it wrong, so she felt a little uneasy when she asked this question.
The eyes of all the women nearby showed anticipation.
