"Yes!" Lu Chen nodded, "Send the ones from other stores over too!" Lu Chen ordered Bei Weiwei.
"Yes!" Lu Chen did not bring the deputy commander out when he went out today. He was replaced by Ji Tong, who had been promoted to captain. Ji Tong went straight to Lu Chen and gave a military salute, then took people to deliver couplets to several other stores. went.
The shops in the East Market are actually not that far away. The ones further away are the shops in the West Market. The shops in the East Market were delivered by several team members from Weiwei, while those in the West Market were led directly by Ji Tong. of.
Liu Jing had been paying attention to the "hour clock" used to keep time, "Master, it's almost time!" It was almost time for Lu Chen to set the time. Liu Jing came to Lu Chen and whispered to Lu Chen.
"Yeah!" Lu Chen nodded again, "Go!" Lu Chen waved his hand towards Liu Jing. At this time, the Beiwei guards who were responsible for delivering couplets to the stores in Dongshi had already returned. Seeing Lu Chen waving, there were two Beiweiwei untied the baggage directly from his back.
At first, when they saw these Beiwei guards carrying bundles, Cheng Yaojin and others thought that these Beiwei guards were carrying practical objects on their backs. However, when they saw the Beiwei guards taking out the baggage After seeing the thing, they were immediately confused, because it was a bunch of red things that they had never seen before.
"What is this?" Cheng Yaojin was the most curious. He walked over and touched the bunch of red things in Back Weiwei's hand. When he touched it, Cheng Yaojin looked at Lu in surprise. Chen, "Brother Lu Xian, is this paper?" Looking at the red paper that looked like a roll, Cheng Yaojin had a look of regret in his eyes.
"What?!" After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Zhang Shigui, Liu Hongji and others also came over and touched the coat of the "firecracker". The touch was definitely like paper. Several people directly gave Lu Chen a waste. eyes.
"The business is open! Of course it has to be festive! It's just a little bit of paper!" Lu Chen said casually.
"Let's start!" Lu Chen waved directly to Liu Jing and Beiwei Wei. Beiwei Wei directly picked up the firecrackers on the wooden sticks on the carriage and stood on both sides of the door while Liu Jing directly Standing at the door, wearing a straight hat and shaking his sleeves, he made sure his clothes were neat and tidy.
"The auspicious time has come! Good luck opening the business!" Lu Chen taught Liu Jing to shout these two words. As Liu Jing finished shouting, the back Weiwei on the side directly shook the firecracker and lit the fuse of the firecracker. .
The "cracking" sound of firecrackers startled everyone, except of course Lu Chen. Looking at the flying red confetti, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction, it's open for business! This is called joy.
Unlike Lu Chen's satisfaction, everyone was so frightened by the sound of firecrackers that they covered their ears and looked at the flying red confetti in horror.
The setting off of firecrackers didn't last long and ended quickly. However, it was the first time for everyone to see firecrackers, so for a moment, they all had dazed expressions and shock in their eyes.
As the sound of firecrackers ended, Lu Chen stretched out his hand and pulled it. The red silk on the plaque with four gilt characters written "Shengshi Group" fell directly. At the same time, the couplets on both sides of the door and the horizontal red silk on the lintel , was also taken down by Liu Jing, and now everyone could see the handwriting clearly.
"Business is booming all over the world!"
"The wealth is so great that it reaches Sanjiang!"
"Business is booming!"
Stores in this era, except for the store name plaque on the mausoleum shop, did not have such couplets, and the appearance of Lu Chen's couplets can be regarded as an innovation.
However, these princes obviously recovered faster than those ordinary people. They quickly calmed down and looked at the white and red ground and the red confetti blown by the wind. Look at Lu Chen.
"Isn't this a festive way to open the business?" Lu Chen asked proudly as he looked at the gentlemen in front of him.
"It's really festive! It's shocking!" Looking at Lu Chen's proud expression, Chai Shao smiled bitterly. Chai Shao's words were not wrong. Before now, there had never been any store opened that could be like Lu Chen. The thing that made it "huge" was Lu Chenjin's opening of business. It would spread throughout Chang'an City within an hour.
"Brother, those papers were just discarded?" Unlike Chai Shao, Zhang Shigui looked at the red scraps of paper on the ground and said with some pain. He didn't know that Lu Chen could make paper.
"This is what this thing is used for!" Lu Chen said directly with an indifferent expression.
Zhang Shigui was originally thinking about something, but he was pulled directly by Cheng Yaojin. The meaning was obvious. This county official is a maverick. If you keep nagging him and make him unhappy, do you still want to make money?
"Brother Xian, you are quite an interesting couple!" Chai Shao, who was looking at the couplets and Hengpi at the door, stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Is it festive enough?" Lu Chen looked at Chai Shao and said proudly.
"Well! What you do as a businessman is so amazing! You are indeed a strange man!" Chai Shao praised Lu Chen with a thumbs up.
"Brother Chai, are you looking for Brother Yu for something?" Lu Chen directly gave Chai Shao an "I understand you" look and said with a smile.
"Sure enough, Brother Xian understands me! For that thing you just made noise, can you give Brother Yu a few strings?" Chai Shao walked over directly, put his arm around Lu Chen's shoulders, and said with a smile.
"Okay!" Lu Chen nodded directly and responded, "This thing is used on days like this and during the New Year and festivals. This thing sounds lively!" Lu Chen said this with as much squeak as possible.
"Have the other shops unveiled their plaques?" Lu Chen and the other gentlemen returned to the "reception room" to drink tea. Just as they were chatting, Ji Tong walked in directly. Lu Chen looked at Ji Tong and said directly asked.
"The plaques have all been unveiled. As soon as the firecrackers here ended, the stores will also have their plaques unveiled according to the arrangement of the grandfather!" Ji Tong first saluted Lu Chen with a military salute, and then paid tribute to several other grandfathers. Caihui reports.
"Yeah!" Lu Chen nodded, "I just don't know how those things will sell!" Lu Chen said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.
“Business is as beautiful as spring!”
"Final resources last longer than running water!"
"Extra cash!"
At this time, at the door of a shop selling iron stoves in the West City, Xiao Yu's son Xiao Kai looked at the couplets in front of the door and couldn't help but muttered.
"This store is quite interesting! I didn't expect that a store selling iron stoves would have such couplets!" Xiao Kai glanced at the store's plaque and couldn't help laughing.
He had seen the iron stove before. Li Yuan gave one to Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu installed it in the study. As Xiao Yu's son, Xiao Kai naturally knew what this iron stove was.
"Erlang, what is this iron furnace?" Although Xiao Kai knew what the iron furnace was, the friends around him did not know and asked Xiao Kai directly.
"This thing is a good thing. If you can bring one or two back, I guess you guys will praise you!" Xiao Kai looked at the ignorant face of his friend, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority. However, students were very proud to talk to these gangsters.
"Sure enough, Erlang is still well-informed!" Looking at Xiao Kai's proud look, although these fox friends were very unhappy in their hearts, they still wanted to give Xiao Yu face, and said very complimentary on the surface.
"Where! Where!" Although Xiao Yu said modest words, there was no hint of humility in his proud look.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Xiao Yu led the group of friends directly into the iron stove shop.
"Guests are coming!" The waiter in charge of greeting guests hurriedly shouted when he saw a group of gentlemen walking in, and then responded, "You gentlemen, do you want to buy an iron stove?" The waiter looked at it respectfully. Several people said.
"Guys, don't look at the blackness of this iron stove. In this winter, this is a good thing for keeping warm. If you don't believe it, you can move to the side room, where there is an iron stove to show you its efficacy!" The clerk was speechless when he saw the few people. , just looking at the iron stoves placed aside, he quickly continued to introduce them.
"Oh? Is there a place to show the efficacy? Take me there to have a look!" Upon hearing that the clerk was demonstrating the efficacy of the iron stove in the side room, Xiao Yu and others immediately raised their eyebrows, showing great interest.
"Gentlemen, please come here!" When the waiter saw that these people seemed to be really interested in the iron stove, he hurriedly brought them to the side room. He was a little excited because the boss had passed down the word, which one? If the shop can make its first business, and get this "good start", the owner will be richly rewarded.
Therefore, the waiter immediately took Xiao Yu and others to the side room where there was an iron stove for heating.
As soon as they entered the side room, Xiao Yu and others felt a warmth on their faces, because there was only a curtain between the side room and the front hall of the store, but just such a curtain actually caused two people to appear between the side room and the front hall. It feels like a heavy one. This side room can be described as warm as spring.
"Gentlemen, you can sit there and feel it!" The waiter went over and wiped a few chairs clean. There was a long table in front of the chair. Xiao Yu and others were not polite, walked over and sat on the chair.
When the waiter saw Ji Rao's behavior, he didn't do anything. He just picked up the iron kettle from the iron stove, brought a few teacups, poured a few cups of plain water and put it in front of Ji Rao. Several people looked at it in confusion. Follow the guy's actions.
"Gentlemen, the temperature in this room is a bit high. If the gentlemen don't take off their cloaks, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it for a while!" The waiter reminded Xiao Kai and others directly.
"It's a joke! It's not like I've never seen this Iron Stove Master before. You guys are exaggerating!" Xiao Kai directly glared at the guy and said disdainfully.
