In this way, Shen Jiacai had finished what he was supposed to do at the moment, and the only thing left was the decoration of the Liuli Pavilion.
Originally, she wanted to make a glass door to showcase her shop, but after being reminded, she also felt that this would easily lead to accidents. After all, glass is fragile. If it is accidentally broken by someone, it would be her own loss.
Finally, it was decided to use glass for the windows in the upper part of the door, which were protected by wood carvings on the outside, as well as for the doors of all the decorative cabinets in the shop.
Even the counter, which was originally supposed to be made of wood, was made of specially made glass.
The windows on the second floor are made of tinted glass, giving it a Hong Kong style. Exquisite ornaments are also dotted in between. Paired with some drinks and desserts from Zhenwei Pavilion, you can probably spend a whole day here.
Because Shen Jia's requirements were not simple, it took nearly two months from the decoration to the official opening of Liuli Pavilion.
The glass workshop was busy making the special glass that Shen Jia requested, as well as preparing the glass ornaments that would be sold when the shop opened, and was very tired.
It happened that when the Great Yuezhi delegation passed by Hezhou, they did not forget to come to Shen Jia again to remind him not to forget what he had requested before.
This made her laugh and cry, and she kept saying that she would never forget and would present them with the best handicrafts from her shop in four months.
Shen Jia did not plan to publicize it this time. After all, these colored glasses were not cheap and the production was limited, so it was time to take a different high-end route.
Just when she thought she could rest easy, she suddenly received a letter from Duobao Pavilion saying that Yan Xu wanted her to meet him.
Shen Jia, who thought that the two of them had no intersection at the moment, really couldn't imagine why they were meeting now?
But since he was her current backer and had saved her life last time, she even brought a gift of gratitude with her when she set off.
The moment she pushed the door open, she thought she had entered the wrong room. She couldn't help but take a step back and look at Lin Baoshen behind her, her eyes full of confusion. This guy shouldn't lie to her, right?
Lin Baoshen bent down again and explained, "The master is in the room, along with his friends."
Zhao Yuanyou, who caught a glimpse of Shen Jia, was not so calm and said directly:
"Miss Shen, please come in. I am a good friend of Yan Xu. I have only one important matter to ask for your help."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xu appeared from the corner on one side. He did not object to Zhao Yuanyou's words and nodded and said:
“Miss Shen, go in first. We have something to discuss.”
Shen Jia was a little uncertain now, thinking: Could he be looking for coal mines again? She remembered that with the reserves of the Alba Mountain coal mine, it would not be a problem to hold on for twenty or thirty years.
Moreover, he frequently found coal mines, which was also abnormal in the eyes of the world.
In just a second, a thousand thoughts raced through her mind, but since she was already here, it was too late to run away, so she just looked at what kind of feast she had fallen down to eat today.
So she stepped into the room before Yan Xu, put the gift she brought on the table, and said to Yan Xu:
"Last time, we had a hasty farewell, and I haven't yet expressed my gratitude to General Yan. These are some small gifts from our Shen's Treasure Pavilion. They are just a small token of my respect."
"I've already accepted it last time, Miss Shen, there's no need to be so polite. This is my good friend Zhao Wulang. I heard that Miss Shen brought an exquisite and rare gift to the Western Regions event last time. It just so happens that my friend is looking for a unique gift for an elder in his family's birthday. I wonder if Miss Shen has any ideas?"
It was the first time that Shen Jia heard Yan Xu say so many words in one breath. It seemed that Zhao Wulang was indeed very important to him. Moreover, Zhao was the national surname. The envoys from Dayuezhi happened to be attending the birthday celebration of the emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty. The other party's specific identity was self-evident.
The two of them didn't think Shen Jia was a stupid person, and they didn't mind at all that she knew Zhao Yuanyou's true identity.
This time, facing Shen Jia, Zhao Yuanyou also showed his princely demeanor and said softly:
"I came here specifically to visit you because I heard this news. The treasure that the Western Region caravan went to such great lengths to conceal must be extraordinary. If there is a good one, no matter the price, I will definitely take it."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Jia's eyes changed immediately. He had never doubted that Yan Xu's friend was poor before, but now that he had said it, it seemed that Chun Chun was a sucker, and he felt like he was losing out if he didn't make money from him.
It just so happened that Shen Jia had originally planned to place a giant glass red coral right in front of his first floor to build momentum for the Glass Pavilion.
Now it seems that it can see its director.
Shen Jia immediately revealed his true nature as a businessman and said awkwardly:
"Today I am preparing for my new shop, the Glazed Pavilion. All the products in it are made of glazed glass. I originally had a piece of glazed coral that I was going to use as the shop's treasure. Since General Yan's friend needs it, I can also contribute it.
Otherwise, let's go to the Glazed Pavilion first. Coincidentally, the things have already been moved in, and it's only two shops away from the Duobao Pavilion."
This behavior is of course for the purpose of being able to give a high price when the price is discussed later. Although it is asked by a friend, it is still business.
Zhao Yuanyou looked at Shen Jia with a smile in his eyes, then turned to raise his eyebrows at Yan Xu, his eyes full of teasing towards Yan Xu.
He readily agreed and said, “In that case, let’s go and see what kind of precious glass coral Miss Shen mentioned?”
After that, the three of them walked forward together. Because they were all handsome men and beautiful women in the eyes of the world, the short distance of just a few dozen meters attracted a lot of people's attention.
However, the three of them were used to such looks and continued to follow Shen Jia without changing their expressions. Coincidentally, Chen Yuan also came to the shop today to conduct a final inspection. Seeing Shen Jia and a few others coming, he immediately stepped forward to ask:
"Jia Niang, why are you here today? Is there something you want to do?"
"My friend wants to buy a gift for an elder in his family, so I brought someone to check it out. Is everything cleaned? Are all the things arranged neatly as I told you?"
"Everything is ready inside, just waiting for the opening day. That's perfect. You watch outside while I lead them in."
"Yes, Jia Niang."
Shen Jia quickly ended his conversation with Chen Yuan and turned to the two people behind him and said:
"Please come in. We haven't officially opened yet, so it's a bit messy inside for now. Please forgive us."
As soon as Shen Jia pushed the door open, the two discovered something unusual about it. It wasn't the usual window paper that everyone used, but something more transparent that allowed them to see the interior of the Glazed Pavilion clearly at a glance.
It was a pity that Shen Jia had temporarily covered the cabinets and tables with curtains, so the two of them couldn't see clearly what was inside.
Zhao Yuanyou, who was always lively, couldn't help asking as soon as he entered the room, "I wonder what paper Miss Shen used for the door panels? It looks much better than the usual paper."
