Mr. Tang was very pleased with himself. He immediately dispatched some skilled weavers from Yuefang and asked them to make several pairs of gloves. He asked Xu Wenqu and Xia Yuhui to give them to their friends. Of course, he did not forget County Magistrate Lin. In order to make it easier for County Magistrate Lin to give them to his superiors, he also made him a few long scarves, which are now called "Zhuangyuan Scarves".
If the previous socks became popular among women, then this one is popular among literati.
Most of those who share the same ideals as Xu Wenqu are very talented. There are literary circles in every place, and when they spread the news at gatherings, it will spread like wildfire.
Moreover, the literati of this era have two major characteristics. One is that they like to write an article or a poem about trivial things. The other is that they like to write on the wall.
Within a few days, "Sibaoban" became the latest fashion in the literary circle, especially for the rich young masters at home. They seemed to be unable to write without Sibaoban and would do everything they could to get a pair to wear.
At this time, a shop called "Yuefang" quietly opened in the city.
This is an era where good wine needs no bush, and people flock here almost as soon as this place opens.
At present, there are only four types of hats: "Sibaoban", socks, Zhuangyuan scarf and hats. There are both men's Zhanhong hats and women's Jinhua hats.
Moreover, this shop only does retail, not wholesale. Even if someone wants to buy more, they can only call all their relatives and friends over, and each person can only buy two items at most.
But this was enough. The literati who bought it immediately began to write letters to give it to their friends as a gift/to show off, and the merchants who bought it also felt that they were in sync with the nobles in Chang'an City, and immediately began to write letters to their friends.

Just at this time, Han Yi came back with a large amount of wool.
Unlike the last time when they were unknown, this time, as soon as they entered the city, they attracted everyone's attention. Everyone knew that they were Yuefang's wool, and some people came up to ask them all kinds of questions.
Han Yi was so frightened that he did not delay at all and quickly transported the wool back to Jubao Village.
At this time, the craftsmen had only finished half of their 100 woolen spinning wheels. They were settled in the original small brewery, and the rooms were all equipped with kangs, which made them warm and comfortable.
In the meantime, Tang Shiyue called Mr. Huang out and modified the washing machine and dryer, just in case Han Yi came back at any time.
Although Tang Shiyue had long been aware that "I am blessed with good luck, and the person who comes to my door must be an invisible master", he was still surprised by Mr. Huang. This old man looked honest and quiet, but he was really capable.
There has always been a saying among the people that there are nine masters and eighteen craftsmen. The "nine masters" refer to those who draw lots for pigs, kill pigs, castrate cows, build walls, build presses, shave heads, mend pots, do pedicures, and play music and drums.
The Eighteen Craftsmen is a general term, which includes goldsmiths, silversmiths, coppersmiths, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, carpenters, carvers, painters, bullet makers, bamboo makers, bricklayers, masons, drum makers, chair makers, umbrella makers, lacquerers, leatherworkers, weavers, dyers, cotton spinning makers, foundries, scissors and knife sharpeners, kiln makers and so on.
Although Mr. Huang was a carpenter, he was very familiar with other things, so he transformed all these things in less than two days. It was much more convenient and effective than she imagined.
Tang Shiyue invited him to stay again.
Mr. Huang still looked honest and said slowly, "If the master has work to do, we will finish it before leaving. If there is no work, we can't just sit there and eat for free."
Tang Shiyue said: "Of course I have a lot of work for you to do. Even if there is no work in the middle, I can still pay you a monthly salary, so you won't go hungry. You are a craftsman, either for wealth, fame, or excellence. I can guarantee that you will have everything if you follow me."
Mr. Huang glanced at her and said, "Well... I wonder what Mr. Tang's plan is?"
Tang Shiyue said, "You want a promise? I can't possibly tell you everything I'm going to do. Besides, even if I promise, will you believe it? What can you do if I go back on my word? So, if you believe me, stay. If you don't, leave. Nothing can be foolproof. You should have your own judgment."
After coming out from there, Xia Yuhui couldn't help but say to her, "Boss, as long as we keep giving them work, they won't leave no matter who they work for. Why are you so obsessed with keeping them?"
Tang Shiyue said: "What I want is a situation where everyone can brainstorm. That is, I put forward an idea, and they are professionals who can try to improve it, rather than me asking them to make something for me and they will make it exactly. Therefore, I must cultivate my own exclusive craftsmen. They have a sense of belonging and accept my management. The longer the time and the deeper the involvement, the more convenient it will be for me to use them."
Xia Yuhui nodded slowly.
Over there, Qiao Sangyu called him from afar: "Mr. Xia, I have arranged all the manpower, what do you think of the arrangements?"
Xia Yuhui walked over quickly: "Okay, tell them to go over and learn how to use the wool spinning wheel first..." The two of them walked away while talking.
The shopkeeper Tang Shiyue turned around and went home as usual.
Han Yi was sitting at the table eating, listening to Mrs. Ye chattering.
After coming back from this trip, Han Yi became more calm and refined, with more confidence and courage. He was no longer the timid and cautious person he was before.
Mrs. Ye saw this and was very satisfied. She kept teaching Han Yi not to forget Tang Shiyue's kindness.
She was a woman of insight, and she knew very well that although Han Yi was bold and smart, without Tang Shiyue's advice and money, and pointing out the way forward, he could only do small things at best, and be a minor gangster, or a wealthy gangster.
Like now, he has been completely transformed. It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Shiyue has given Han Yi a new life.
Seeing Tang Shiyue come in, Han Yi quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Ayue."
Although he insisted not to call him "Dongjia", his attitude was much more serious than before.
Tang Shiyue didn't care and nodded. Han Yi smiled and handed over a few boxes nearby: "Although it was your money, you came from a long way after all, so this is my token of my appreciation."
Tang Shiyue thanked him with a smile, and then opened the things one by one with a smile. There were really quite a few interesting things.
Han Yi wiped his mouth and wanted to report the situation to her, but Tang Shiyue said, "No hurry, eat slowly, take a rest after eating, and we'll talk to her in the evening."
"I'm not tired!" Boss Han was very touched: "I can say it now."
Tang Shiyue said, "No, if you say it now, you will have to say it again later. It is better to wait for A Jing and Mr. Xia to come and say it together."
Han Yi also learned about Xia Yuhui's existence from Mrs. Ye, so he had to nod.
So after Xia Yuhui and Qiao Sangyu discussed and worked together to deal with the issue of the new wool, they dispatched the people to do their own things. Before they had time to drink a sip of water, they had to start listening to Han Yi's report.
Mrs. Ye prepared food for them and then left. Han Yi had already eaten his fill, taken a bath, changed his clothes, and was reporting seriously.
Tang Shiyue, Huo Qijing and Xia Yuhui ate while listening.
