In early October, the two sisters drew a stack of design sketches, including not only clothing but also accessories.
The two ran to find Cai Xiaolian.
When Cai Xiaolian took a look, she thought, "Hey, this little girl is quite clever! She even knows how to categorize countries!"
After reading it, she asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that the clothes you designed for the girls of the Goddess Kingdom are too beautiful and will cause dissatisfaction among the girls from the other countries?"
Gu Xin blinked: "Mother, we've put them all together, and we haven't specified which one is for which country. They can buy whichever one they like! People from neighboring countries can buy our Great Zhou's styles, and people from Great Zhou can buy our neighboring countries' styles. But, Mother, could our embroidery workshop rush to make a batch this month?"
Cai Xiaolian nodded: "Of course it's possible. Your sister Yumei and aunt manage things well, and they've also brought in a lot of embroiderers from Cizhou and Dingzhou. They work together, and within a month, you can design at least three pieces of each type of clothing. Of course, you can mass-produce them, but you must choose one that is unique. There are always people who don't like wearing the same clothes as others."
Gu Xin smiled happily: "What about accessories? How many accessories can we make? Can we just set up a shop in the trading area and turn it into a clothing store?"
Cai Xiaolian led the two girls to her study and then took a scroll of paintings from the bookshelf.
Gu Xin and Gu Si unfolded the picture and the scene in it caught their eye.
Gu Si clasped her hands to her chin and said, "Second Aunt, you're amazing! This shop is so beautiful! I'm sure lots of girls will love it!"
Gu Xin, however, saw through the trick: "Mother, this shop uses glass, right? But my sister and Hanhan haven't been able to make such transparent glass yet!"
Cai Xiaolian: "That's right! So you should all pray that they finish it quickly. The blacksmith has already made the glass-cutting knives, and we're just waiting for their finished products."
Gu Xin said with a serious expression that she and Gu Si had been helping out in the past few days.
Then the three of them sat down together to discuss the layout of the clothing store and the revisions to the clothing design drawings.
The artisans they employ are the best, bestowed upon them by the emperor of the Great Zhou who didn't want to be emperor himself; they had to be the very best.
A little while later, Gu Xiaoqi started crying, and Cai Xiaolian went to comfort the child.
Gu Si and Gu Xin nestled in the newly made sofa, writing and drawing intently.
The restaurant is faster; the copper pots are all ready, and the hot pot is scheduled to be launched on the second day of October.
Early in the morning, a delicious aroma wafted from Kunzhou Restaurant, so enticing that people couldn't resist it.
Someone asked, "What's this? It smells so good!"
Some people with a keen sense of smell asked, "Is this a new spicy dish? Just smelling it makes me feel warm!"
The Peng family lived relatively close to the restaurant. General Peng went out intending to go to the water camp, but after walking a few steps, he didn't want to walk any further and ran to the restaurant to ask what new dishes were available.
The restaurant owner told him that they were launching hot pot today, and the owner would provide fifty jars of strong liquor to go with it.
General Peng instantly lost interest in the hot pot. He had tasted the Gu family's strong liquor in the capital. Gu Er was a stingy fellow who kept saying he was brewing it but wouldn't let him drink it. He really was just using it to make money.
General Peng booked two tables and sent someone to invite his longtime associates, as well as his children and grandchildren, to come and support the Gu family's business.
The aroma alone was enough to attract people from the surrounding area to book a table.
The Gu family no longer promotes their business as they did when they were doing business in Gyeongju.
