The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 18. Reasonable Marketing
"May I take a closer look at this treasure?" Zhou Da stared intently at the Ye Mingzhu in Sun Jie's hand.

Sun Jie looked at Chen Hu who was standing beside him, "Go and take this Ye Mingzhu to Mr. Zhou, remember, let him take a closer look!"

Chen Hu understood, took the night pearl from Sun Jie's hand, and stood upright in front of Zhou Da.

Holding this luminous pearl in both hands, it was placed in front of Zhou Da.

Zhou Da rolled up his sleeves, wanting to pick up this luminous pearl, but Chen Hu dodged it, making him fail directly.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Da looked at Sun Jie.

"Please forgive me. This item is too precious. It can only be seen closely and not played with. A slight bump will be a huge loss. I hope Mr. Zhou can forgive me." Sun Jie said meaningfully.

What else can Zhou Da say?I can only endure it.

Chen Hu placed the Ye Mingzhu in front of Zhou Da again, Zhou Da squinted his eyes, almost sticking to the Ye Ming Pearl.

Inch by inch, carefully examine this luminous pearl.

It is completely natural, no trace of polishing can be seen on the beads, as if they were born this way.

There are also luminous pearls in nature. Natural luminous pearls have many impurities, insufficient purity, and dim light.

There are a few in the Qin Palace, but those night pearls are small in size and low in brightness, and many carving marks can be seen on the surface of the beads.

And this luminous pearl in front of me is not only large in size, but also very round. Although I haven't touched it with my hands, it is a fine product from the perspective of appearance.

The luminous pearl in front of him, Zhou Da can guarantee, is absolutely priceless.

Thinking of this, his breathing became much louder.

Chen Hu took the Ye Mingzhu and returned to Sun Jie's side.

"How is it? How do you feel?" Sun Jie asked.

"It's priceless, it's a treasure!" Zhou Da was speechless, with an excited expression on his face.

"But what happened to the cooperation mentioned earlier? Brother Xian said just now that if the cooperation is good, you can give me this bead? Is that the case?"

Zhou Da remembered what Sun Jie said just now.

"That's right, that's right." Sun Jie nodded in affirmation.

"I would like to hear the details!" Zhou Dazuo listened attentively.

Sun Jie straightened his thoughts and said: "The thing is like this, I have a batch of high-quality icing in my hand, and I want to sell it in Xi'an Mansion.

But you also know that my eyes are in the dark in Xi'an Mansion, and I have no connections. I hope Mr. Zhou can help me solve this problem! "

"I thought it was something, just such a small thing? Isn't it simple?"

Zhou Da waved his hand, and said with arrogance, "I, Zhou Da, are in charge of the fields of the Wangfu. It doesn't look big, but I also manage dozens of people. I still have a few shops in the west city of Xi'an Prefecture. Brother!"

Zhou Da slapped his chest so loudly that his eyes almost narrowed together.

Where is his Zhou Da's shop?It was the shop of Prince Qin's Mansion. Due to poor management, it had been losing money year after year, and it was basically closed now.

With such a big Qin Palace, how can everything be done?These shops are handed over to these stewards.

Although Zhou Da is in charge of the fields, he has some tricks. Except for the shops that are nominally owned by the Qin Palace, the rest have nothing to do with the Qin Palace, and they are all managed by Zhou Da.

These few shops didn't earn a dime in the past, but now if they can give Sun Jie credit, they can still earn a rent, and even get that night pearl in their pockets, why not do it?

"Then it's a deal!" Sun Jie made a decision.

"Then this bead?" Zhou Da looked at the Ye Mingzhu in Chen Hu's hand, and the greed in his eyes became stronger.

"It's easy to talk about, our cooperation is more than that, I will temporarily keep this bead for Mr. Zhou.

Don't worry, I will never give this bead to others, and I will not let outsiders know that I have such a bead.

By the way, the identities of our brothers have not been confirmed yet, this matter..." Sun Jie repeatedly assured.

"This matter is not a problem, brother, don't worry." Zhou Da felt relieved.

On the way back, Zhou Da kept talking about that luminous pearl.

Compared with the mineral water bottle, he desires this luminous pearl more.

Zhou Da was originally a greedy person, how could he report the matter of Ye Mingzhu?

What he wanted was to take this luminous pearl for himself, and then find an opportunity to present it to the current king of Qin alone.

Today King Qin is a good treasurer, especially likes those rare objects, Zhou Da is very sure that if he can dedicate this bead to King Qin, then he is very likely to be the Chief Steward of the Outer Court in the future.

At that time, do you still need to look at the face of that brat?
As for those shops, they are not his own, and they have been closed long ago, so it's okay for him to use them.It's hard to say, but I can still get some money from him.

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Da went to find Sun Jie again.

This time, he took a blank guide and sat in the back hall.

Holding a brush in his hand, he wrote the names and places of birth of Sun Jie, Chen Hu and others on it.

"This is the guide of the Wangfu, with this thing, you will be the people of the Wangfu from now on.

You don't have to be afraid of those soldiers anymore when you go in and out of Xi'an Fucheng, but you have to keep them well, these things can't be bought with money outside.

As for household registration, you don't have to worry about it.With this guide, the government will not investigate you, if it is really not possible, I will arrange an errand for you in the palace at that time! "

General Zhou handed over the guide to Sun Jie, and said with a smile.

"It's easy to talk, let's go and see those shops now, it's okay to be idle anyway!" Sun Jie said.

Zhou Da didn't say anything, and agreed with Sun Jie.

Several people tidied up and walked out of the room.

This is the east of the city, and the shops that Zhou Da mentioned are far away.

After rushing for a while, I finally arrived outside the shop that Zhou Da mentioned at noon.

There is a clear gap between the buildings on the west side of the city and the east side of the city, and they are far less grand than those on the east side of the city.

The shop in front of me is quite large, but it hasn't been opened for a long time, the door is full of dry cracks, and the plaque is covered with a layer of dust, and the words written on it cannot be read.

"This store is the biggest. Do whatever business you want. By the way, you said you want to do icing business here?" Zhou Da looked at Sun Jie.

Sun Jie nodded and said, "Yes, I'm in the icing business."

Zhou Da went on to say: "This shop of mine is under the name of Prince Qin's Mansion, that is to say, you don't have to worry about being taxed for this shop at all.

Normally, no rascal would dare to come here, and your icing business will definitely be booming.I'm just curious, we don't produce icing sugar in Shaanxi, where does your icing come from? "

There were many kinds of sugar in the Ming Dynasty, and the icing sugar is the white sugar that modern people are familiar with.

White sugar is generally made from sugar cane or beetroot, and Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty did not produce these two crops.

It doesn't mean that there is no sugar in Shaanxi. Sugar like maltose is still produced.

"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own way! If you want to get that luminous pearl, don't ask if you have it or not!" Sun Jie said coldly.

Zhou Da closed his mouth resentfully, and stopped asking these questions.

Zhou Da handed this and the key to the store to Sun Jie, and went home alone.

After Zhou Da left, Sun Jie opened the shop door.

With a creak, a puff of turbid air gushed out from inside.

Sun Jie hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and took a few steps back.

No one has been here for a long time, and it's not bad. It's good to do business.

When the dust in the room was less, several people walked in.

A huge main hall appeared in front of my eyes, such a big main hall, even if it was used as a restaurant, it was more than enough.

Turning around, Sun Jie returned to the main hall again.

The shop occupies a large area. Apart from the main hall in the front, there is a small yard in the back and even a few side rooms.

Broken is a little bit broken, but it is also suitable.

After staying here for a while, a few people went back.

Back home, Sun Jie summoned the Golden Gate and returned to modern times.

Although the store looks good, it is not decorated.

If you use it directly like this, it will definitely not work.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, people were not familiar with the place there, and Sun Jie didn't know where to buy decoration materials, so he might as well just buy them in Hyundai and get them there.

In modern society, as long as you have money, what can't you buy?

It didn't take long for Sun Jie to buy a lot of decoration materials.

High-quality wooden boards, modern charging tools, screws, iron wires, and various fillers.

The decoration of the shop doesn't need to be too luxurious, just as good as the late Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Sun Jie also bought a large amount of white sugar.

Putting all these things in the supermarket, Sun Jie opened the Golden Gate.

It's just that he didn't get these things over in the first place.

Because there is a bedroom on the other side of the door, the distance from the bedroom to the store is relatively long, so there is no need to make that effort.

Passing through the Golden Gate, Sun Jie came to the end of Ming Dynasty.Taking Chen Hu with him, he hurried to the shop again.

Let Chen Hu and the others stay in the main hall, close the door, and Sun Jie came to the backyard of the store.

A golden door appeared in front of Sun Jie, and Sun Jie walked in.

Before long, the backyard was filled with various renovation materials.

The next time is to decorate the shop.

Because there are charging tools and various adhesive fillers, the speed of decoration is not bad.

After teaching Chen Hu and others how to use these tools, the decoration began.

In order to conceal people's eyes and ears, the door was kept closed when decorating the inside, and the traditional tools of the Ming Dynasty were used when decorating the outside.

Most of those adhesive fillers are in various gaps, as long as they are well covered, outsiders can't see them at all.

In this way, I have been busy for seven or eight days, eating and lodging in the shop, and finally renovated the shop.

Bring the rest back to modern times, remove as much traces of modernization as possible in the shop, and everything is ready, leaving only the icing in place.

Sun Jie vacated a side room in the backyard, filled with white sugar and rock sugar brought from modern times.

Since you sell sugar, sell more.

These white sugar and rock sugar are all packed in snakeskin bags, and there are moisture-proof plastic bags inside.

Sun Jie sat in the wing room, took Chen Hu and others to wrap a bag of white sugar carefully in waxed paper into small portions.

Of course, the white sugar used for display is indispensable.

A few shallow trays on the counter were covered with a layer of white sugar.

The same is true for rock candy, which are sold wrapped in waxed paper and displayed on shallow trays.

"Okay, let's stop here today, it's getting late, sleep here tonight, work another day tomorrow, everything will be almost the same!"

Sun Jie looked at the few people who were busy and said.

Chen Hu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, the tiredness on their faces was much less.

Compared to killing enemies on the battlefield, Chen Hu felt that doing these jobs was more tiring.

At night, Sun Jie and the others sleep here. These white sugar and rock sugar are very valuable in this era, and it is always good to have an extra thought.

The night passed slowly, and at dawn the next day, Sun Jie greeted everyone and sent the things that were finished yesterday to the front hall.

The wooden shelves are placed in the front hall, and on the shelves there are packages of white sugar or rock sugar wrapped in waxed paper.

Several huge wooden cabinets are placed in the center of the vestibule, on which are placed some shallow trays with some samples placed in the trays.

After a busy day, I finally finished everything I had done.

Sun Jie opened the shop door and stood at the door.

He looked at the huge plaque above the store and smiled.

The three words "Honey Tang Pavilion" are written on the plaque, which was customized by him from later generations. The three big characters have smooth lines and look very grand.

Standing in the middle of the gate, Sun Jie looked around.

Everything has been prepared, as long as Sun Jie is willing, he can open at any time.

He doesn't want to be so sloppy. If he wants to sell well, he must do a good job of publicity. If the publicity is not in place, who knows that he opened a store here?

Sun Jie, who came from modern times, clearly understands how important publicity is to a store.

There are not so many publicity methods in modern times. In this era, acting on stage is the best choice.

Sun Jie is not familiar with Xi'an Mansion, but Zhou Da is very familiar with it.So Sun Jie approached him and asked him to help contact a troupe.

Zhou Da was of course willing to help with this kind of thing, and he found a very reliable troupe for Sun Jie in one day's time.

The opera troupe is called Xiqin Troupe, Xi is Xi'an Mansion's West, and Qin is Qin Opera's Qin.

In the land of Shaanxi, Qin Opera is widely circulated and loved by the people.

The West Qin Troupe has a great reputation and is the most famous theater troupe in Xi'an Prefecture. Although it is a low-ranking business, it is loved by the people.

Even the palace sometimes let the West Qin troupe set up a stage to sing.

Sun Jie's request to the West Qin Troupe is very simple, that is, to sing a big drama for five consecutive days, and it must be lively.

The price is settled every day, and if you sing well, there will be additional rewards.

The head of the Xiqin troupe immediately understood that this is a big employer. The disasters in recent years have naturally affected the theater troupe.

If it is done well this time, it will last for a long time.

The class leader immediately patted his chest and repeatedly promised that he would show his housekeeping skills.

Sun Jie was not in a hurry to ask the troupe to set up a stage to sing, and first conducted a three-day warm-up.

He asked Chen Hu, Zhao Dading and Liang Wusan to walk around the streets and alleys holding a gong for three consecutive days, saying that on April [-]th, the "Honey Tang Pavilion" in the West City would set up a stage to sing an opera for five consecutive days.

Like throwing a stone into a calm lake, the news spread throughout the city in an instant.
