Chapter 291 Caiyunhui
Chapter 291 Caiyunhui
Yunhai stayed in the palace. For safety reasons, he did not enter the space at night. After all, there were many masters in the palace. What if there were secret guards watching him in a place he didn't know? That would be similar to the modern cameras.
Although he felt that he was a little paranoid, it was better to be cautious.
On the night Yun Hai went to Beijing, Yun Duo didn't see her in the space, nor did she leave her a message, so she was a little worried. But she knew that Grandpa should be fine, and if something happened, Grandpa would take Yun Xiang into the space, and she believed that Grandpa Cheng in Beijing could protect Grandpa.
The next morning, the sun had just risen, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on Xiangyun Village, bringing a touch of warmth and vitality to the whole village. The village was busy, and everyone was working hard at their respective posts.
Yunhe and Chuliang stood in the open space in the west of the village, directing the villagers in an orderly manner to start a new day's work.
They divided the villagers into several groups, some of which were responsible for reclaiming wasteland, while others were responsible for collecting necessary supplies.
Since there are currently no suitable plowing tools available, everyone can only use the axes and hoes brought from home to remove the weeds and pick up the stones scattered on the ground.
Despite the difficult conditions, both the elderly and children were full of energy and had happy smiles on their faces.
On the other hand, the veterans with minor injuries were not idle either. The veterans who could drive a horse-drawn carriage and could walk were sent to various nearby villages to purchase plant ash and hay for Xiangyun Village; those who could not move their legs but could move their hands, Chu Liang asked them and some elderly people in the village to weave a small basket for growing seedlings with straw, similar to the modern black seedling cup.
These veterans have found their own value again, and feel that they are no longer useless, and their hearts are filled with pride and satisfaction. They are happily and actively involved in the work of Xiangyun Village.
The entire Xiangyun Village is filled with an atmosphere of unity, progress and enthusiasm, and everyone is looking forward to the future.
Yun Duo asked Aunt Wu to take care of her sleeping brother, and took her second grandfather, parents, and second brother to Tongyun County. Xiangyun Village was about twenty miles away from the county seat, and it took an hour and a half to drive there by horse carriage.
Yunhe came to the county government to collect relief grain for Xiangyun Village. Each person received 50 kilograms of relief grain, and each person could receive 10 kilograms per month. This would be collected in five months. There were more than 500 people in Yunjia Village, and each person received 10 kilograms, which was more than 5,000 kilograms.
Leaving behind the Earth Shadow Guards to protect Yunjia Village, Yun Duo took eight guards, each driving a carriage, and set off at dawn.
When they arrived at the county town, there were many people queuing at the city gate to enter the city. Each of them paid a two-cent entrance fee and entered Tongyun County.
After entering the city, Jinsheng first found a restaurant to rest and recuperate. Yunteng took out some money and asked the waiter to help them tie up the carriage and feed the horses some hay. They went into the lobby and found a seat to sit down. The waiter helped to prepare some hot water and breakfast.
During the break, Yun Duo started to plan what she would do today. She planned to go to the seed shop first to see what crops were available there.
I also want to go to the blacksmith shop to buy some tools and iron plowshares suitable for reclaiming wasteland. These blacksmith shops should have them. I also want to go to the dock to see what these ancient ships look like.
After breakfast, Yun Duo took a short rest and then stood up, carefully taking out a neatly folded drawing from his arms.
She walked gently to Jinsheng, handed the blueprint to him, and solemnly instructed: "Jinsheng, thank you for going to the blacksmith shop. We need to buy some iron tools, hoes, shovels, sickles, etc. for our daily farming. The more you go to the blacksmith shop, the more we will need.
In addition, please ask the blacksmith to make some special items according to the drawing I gave you. Here are the key parts and special plowshares of the iron curved plow! Once these parts are ready and assembled with the appropriate wooden parts, it will become a curved plow!
Remember, you must emphasize to the blacksmith shop that they must complete the production of these items as quickly as possible. If they need to charge extra fees for rushing the work, that's fine, as long as they can ensure the quality and progress. When you finish your work, we will meet at this restaurant at noon."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Kungang, Lishui, Yuchu, the three of you follow Second Grandpa to the county government to get relief food. Bring all the food to the inn and wait for us."
The three of them nodded, drove the carriage and followed Yunhe to the county government office.
"Dad, Mom, let's go to the seed store first!"
The family came to the seed shop. There were no special seeds in the store, just very ordinary vegetable seeds, nothing too special. Yun Duo symbolically bought some bean, cucumber, cabbage and radish seeds.
After leaving the seed shop, Yun Chenxing said to Yun Duo: "Sister, look at the busy streets over there, there are many shops, you and mom can go shopping. Dad and I will go to the bookstore to buy some books and pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones. We will come to see you later."
"Okay, second brother, let's go!"
This was what Yun Duo and the others had discussed before they came. Yun Duo took Li Xiuxiu, Yun Chenxing and Yun Wei to a busy street and entered a clothing shop. The shop owner was a woman in her thirties. When she saw them come in, she greeted them warmly, "Madam, young lady and young master, please come in." Although Li Xiuxiu and Yun Duo were dressed ordinary, they had outstanding temperaments and were followed by four maids. They were obviously the ladies and young ladies of wealthy families.
"Madam, are you buying clothes for yourself or your family? I can introduce them to you. Taoer, bring our clothing album over for you to choose from."
"Yes, madam shopkeeper." The female waitress named Taoer quickly brought the clothing album over for them to see.
The shopkeeper introduced enthusiastically: "Madam, you can see that these clothes are all new this year. If you like any of them, we can also make them for you."
Yun Duo took a look at the album. The clothes were drawn very lifelike, and there were different embroidery patterns and corresponding prices below. Yun Duo couldn't help but sigh that the service was really good, worthy of being in the vicinity of Beijing.
Li Xiuxiu looked and chose for a long time and bought a piece of clothing for everyone in the family.
Li Xiuxiu was still there picking and choosing and wasting time. Yun Duo looked outside boredly and found that there were a lot of people queuing outside a store, apparently buying something.
Yun Duo curiously asked the owner of the clothing store: "Boss, there are so many people outside, it's so lively, what happened?"
"Madam, Miss, from your accents, you seem to be from other places! You two don't know! Today is the opening day of Caiyun Club, and I heard there are some discounts and promotions."
Yun Duo stood up excitedly when she heard the name: "Madam Shopkeeper, what do you think the store is called?"
"The store is called Caiyunhui. I heard that the soaps, shampoos and skin care products sold there are all very popular in Beijing. They are quite popular! Mr. Yu, the boss across the street, has to get the agency rights to sell them.
I heard that the things sold by Cai Yunhui are very popular among the ladies and daughters of those wealthy families! If you are also interested in it, you can quickly send your maid to queue up to buy it, otherwise you will not be able to buy it if you are a little slow!
Look, even I have to ask the shop assistants to line up early, for fear of missing out on this popular item. After all, everyone knows that good things are always in short supply! So, miss, you'd better hurry up!" The shopkeeper looked at the excited Yun Duo and thought that Yun Duo had heard about it too, after all, the items sold in the shop were what ladies liked.
Yun Duo wondered, in her previous life, her grandmother's supermarket was called "Caiyunhui". Her grandmother also registered her own trademark for the cosmetics and daily necessities made from some ancient recipes that her grandfather had improved.
My grandmother opened a "Caiyunhui Drug and Cosmetics Store" in the "Caiyunhui" hypermarket. The store specializes in selling all kinds of drug and cosmetics and some daily necessities with Chinese herbal ingredients, such as shampoo, sanitary napkins... and other items, and the business is booming.
Grandma also set up a research and development team to develop some Caiyunhui series products, and there is a factory dedicated to producing Caiyunhui products. Even in the modern era of fierce competition, sales are very good, and dozens of specialty stores have been opened in major cities across the country.
Yun Duo thought: "How could there be such a coincidence?"
"Mom, let's go take a look." Li Xiuxiu paid for the clothes she had picked out and went out with her daughter.
