Poor family mother and son

Chapter 167 The Grand Opening ([-])

For tomorrow's opening ceremony, Chu Qing didn't take Xiaobao to visit the Lantern Festival in Beijing tonight.They are all busy at the Blue House.Little Treasure doesn't regret it either, he has a lot to do.

Chu Qing saw Xiaobao taking twenty boys to the backyard, but he didn't know what he was busy with.I don't care about him.

Tomorrow, the three stores will open together, and the timings will be slightly staggered. Chu Qing regards the Qingwatai Restaurant as the main place to receive VIPs, while the "Bao Qingxiang" in the east and west cities need the help of Xiaobao and Baijiaxing. The "Blue House" in the city's "Bao Qingxiang" is not far away, and Chu Qing will find an opportunity to "play around" when the time comes.

Chu Qing set the opening time between Si and noon.It is not feasible to go to three stores in more than two hours, so it was decided that "Bao Qingxiang" in Zhengdong City opened at that time, and Chu Qing came here first; Arrive at the store before noon.

As a result, just after the next day, the "Bao Qingxiang" guy from Dongshi came to say that the Empress Dowager sent Madam Yu to the shop in Dongshi, and asked Chu Qing to come and receive her.

When Chu Qing arrived at the shop, she saw Madam Yu directing the eunuchs and staff to rearrange the cotton samples hanging in the shop.

Chu Qing could see at a glance that the colorful cotton cloths she sent to the palace as an annual gift were all hung in her shop.

Years ago, not much cloth was driven out, and the Queen Mother sent all the colored ones back to Chu Qing to support the appearance.

"Grandma Yu, this..." Chu Qing was moved and didn't know what to say.

"Lord Chu, the Empress Dowager specially ordered the slaves to bring these. She said that although the white folded cloth is good, there are many people who have seen it. It is not as fresh as these colorful cloths. Since it is an opening, it is natural that the more eye-catching the better." Madam Yu Looking at Chu Qing with a smile.

The Empress Dowager was really bothered, for a small hundred households to be taken care of by the Empress Dowager, Nanny Yu did not expect it.

"The queen mother ordered this old servant to follow you today and take care of you." Nanny Yu said again.

This is really a big face.Anyone with a bit of knowledge would know that Madam Yu is the closest person to the Queen Mother, and she came here as a dowry with the Queen Mother.The presence of Nanny Yu was almost equivalent to the Empress Dowager coming in person.

Chu Qing was so moved that she didn't know what to say.But Nanny Yu didn't let Chu Qing waste any more time, she took her hands and hurried away.

Under Yumama's guidance, the layout of the shop was indeed different, more in line with the aesthetics of dignitaries.Different classes are really different everywhere.

Seeing that the clerks in Chu Qing's shop were unattractive, Madam Yu divided the maids she brought into two parts, one part was left to help with the management, and the other part was brought to "Bao Qingxiang" in the West Market.

Chu Qing went to the West Market with Madam Yu, and found that the West Market was lively enough. Mrs. Hong had already arrived with several generals' wives, and was helping Chu Qing arrange for the guys to move things.

They brought some of their own decorations to improve the storefront.The wives came to help without even seeing Chu Qing, this kindness is not small.

There are a lot of ornaments, all of which are very valuable, such as jade sculptures, rare bonsai, and a few carts to bring them here.

Seeing these things, Madam Yu simply ordered the guys to send some to Dongshi as well.And put it here for the rest of the maids to help.

The "Bao Qingxiang" in the east and west have vacated rooms for warehouses, and re-decorated them simply. All the walls are covered with colorful satin, which looks elegant and simple.

It is also a method adopted by Baijiaxing because of tight time and heavy tasks, and it cannot rent a shop in a short period of time.

These rooms are "experience halls".Xiaobao is giving his last lecture inside:
"Repeat it one last time: Open your store to welcome guests from both urban and rural areas, and serve guests from far and near comprehensively. Speak softly without yelling, be calm and principled! Do you remember?"

"Remember!" The answer was neat, and even the female shop assistant had to answer loudly, which was Xiaobao's request.

"Check each other's looks!" Xiao Bao ordered.

Nanny Yu was delighted to hear it outside the door: "You are not big, but you are quite stylish!"

With so much work on both sides of the East and West Markets, it was almost time, and Aunt Yu followed Chu Qing back to the East Market.

At the right time, firecrackers were fired on both sides of the store, and people all over the street came to watch the excitement.Next door is the silk shop. At this time, the storekeeper stood at the door and looked at "Bao Qingxiang", and the clerk next to him said "tsk tsk", "This 'Bao Qingxiang' is in the middle of the silk shops and clothing stores all over the street. It's a good place." Let them take it all, it’s not a good thing to sell that thing, what a mess!”

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Just look at it, I guess our business will be robbed by their family!" The shopkeeper scolded the waiter, and said worriedly.

"Impossible! Didn't you see that their warehouses are all empty and they don't have much goods, so they can compete for our business?" The young man was not convinced.

"That stuff is fresh, we don't have it, I saw their cotton cloth yesterday, colored ones! We only have white ones, but they have several colors!"

This is the one that sounds good, and the one that doesn't sound good:
"There are men and women in the store. It seems that they are not doing business seriously. Maybe they are doing some kind of messy business!"

"I'm afraid it's not a trick to sell dog meat, and do some meat business at the same time?"

If Nanny Yu heard these words, it is estimated that the teeth of these people would be lost by palms!

There are even those who are uneasy and kind: "Come here a few people, sneak in for a while, show me their products, and see if there is an opportunity to make me stumble!"

The sound of firecrackers fell, Chu Qing delivered a speech, and then asked Nanny Yu to uncover the red silk on the plaque.Nanny Yu beckoned, and a young eunuch brought over a plaque covered in red cloth, Chu Qing was stunned.

In full view, Nanny Yu stroked her hair on her temples, stepped forward, and uncovered the red cloth with her own hands, revealing a high-quality and shiny red sandalwood plaque, with three golden characters of "Bao Qingxiang" written on it, decorated with golden swastika patterns on all four sides, and in the lower left corner Engraved with the emblem and seal of the Queen Mother.

The unveiling ceremony has become a plaque hanging ceremony!
"Empress Dowager Yizhi:" Mother Yu said loudly, "Chuqing in Xingtang County, Jizhou, is smart, diligent, optimistic and tenacious, and broad-minded. ', and all the 'Bao Qingxiang' textiles will be registered in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and will be shared with the people of the world."

When Chu Qing received the order and stood up, she was a little dazed.How could she not know about this?Grandma Yu has not revealed a word.

Now the shops all over the street don't care about it anymore, and even those who were ordered to sneak into the shop to make trouble go back quickly. What kind of owner is this, with such a deep background!
The maid brought by Madam Yu professionally helped Chu Qing replace the plaque with the imperial plaque. The original plaque and the red silk were removed as it was, and Madam Yu asked to keep it for use when opening a semicolon, and said: "It is estimated that you need to open two more semicolons."

Chu Qing was puzzled, but Nanny Yu just smiled.
