After finishing the puzzle, she admired herself for a while, then called Lu Chuan over, "Come and see my finished product. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan walked over, looked at it, and indeed it was quite good. He praised it generously, saying, "Yes, not bad, not bad at all, it's really beautiful."
Several people practicing weighing nearby also came over upon hearing this, and upon seeing what she had made, they couldn't help but offer another round of praise.
"Wow, this is so beautiful, Madam!"
"Yes, Madam's hands are so skillful, she can even make this."
"This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. I have to say, it's really good. Even someone who can't read can tell at a glance what we sell in our store."
"Yes, yes, and this too: for the first three days of the new store opening, everything is 10% off. The font is big and beautiful."
"The small print below is also very attractive: 10 eggs for 9 coins, and there is no limit to the number of eggs you can buy."
This price is really cheap; I expect a lot of people will come for these eggs tomorrow. I just don't know if our shop has enough eggs.
Xu Han didn't blush at all when faced with everyone's praise; instead, she smiled even more happily.
Upon hearing someone mention eggs, he replied, "Don't worry about the eggs. We have plenty of eggs, so you can sell them with confidence. It would be best if we could clear out all our inventory."
Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and unanimously agreed that there was absolutely no problem.
In the late afternoon, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao arrived with two children.
Also delivered were a lot of fresh meat that we'll need tomorrow.
To increase the variety of goods in the shop, the Taoist priest went to the mountains to hunt two wild boars and a wild goat. He also caught some young roosters, as well as male ducks and geese ready for market from his home.
Why are all the males being caught and sold? Of course, it's because the females are kept to lay eggs.
The group looked around the shop, and were incredibly excited to see their brand-new store.
Grandpa Zhao praised, "This shop is really good; the details in many places are handled very well."
The Taoist priest rarely praised anyone, saying, "You two did a great job, you did a good job."
Xu Han smiled and waved her hand, "Everything in this shop was made by Li Wen and Ju Xiang with their staff. We only did the bidding."
The Taoist priest disagreed and retorted, "Without your two ideas, they couldn't have done this even if they came up with all sorts of tricks. Alright, stop being modest."
"Hahaha, then I thank you for the compliment, Daoist Master."
Then, she turned to Lu Chuan smugly and said, "Could you bring me the opening event board I just made? Let the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao take a look and see what they think?"
The Taoist priest could tell from Xu Han's expression what mischief she was up to, so he didn't stop her. Instead, he asked in a very cooperative manner, "What is an opening event board? I've never heard of this before."
After saying that, she turned to Grandpa Zhao and asked, "Have you heard of this?"
Grandpa Zhao naturally noticed the Taoist priest's look and said in a very cooperative manner, "I haven't heard of it either."
The two of them today focused on maximizing emotional value, and they cooperated perfectly in everything.
The two little ones, who had been circling the shop, had obviously overheard the conversation and ran over to ask, "I've never heard of that before. Mommy, what's an opening event board?"
Xu Han said smugly, "I can't explain it clearly either. Simply put, it's to promote our shop. Anyway, you'll understand when your father takes it out in a bit."
Just then, Lu Chuan came out with a board. The board wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either; it was about half a person's height when it stood on the ground.
As soon as Lu Chuan opened the opening event board, Ze'er exclaimed, "Wow, this is so beautiful! I bet Mom made it!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan picked up his youngest son and asked, "How do you know it was your mother who made it? Couldn't it have been your father who made it?"
Ze'er was even happier when he was suddenly picked up, and he hugged his father's neck with a big smile.
Standing below, Mu'er looked at Lu Chuan and said, "That's easy. First of all, you can tell it's Mother's handwriting just by looking at the characters. Father's handwriting is so ugly, I don't think he could write like that."
Secondly, these things were definitely glued on by Mother; Father doesn't have the patience to do them.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan ruffled Mu'er's hair, instantly turning his neatly combed hair into a mess.
Mu'er protested and tried to dodge to the side, but Lu Chuan's grip was too strong, and she couldn't dodge at all.
In the end, he could only look at his mother with a pleading expression, wanting her to punish his father.
Upon receiving her son's plea for help, Xu Han slapped Lu Chuan's hand, freeing Mu'er from his grasp and pulling her to her side.
"Haha, you guessed right. But the idea of sticking the goods together really came from your father."
Mother originally wanted to arrange flowers, but there were no flowers to cut, so Father suggested sticking together the things sold in the shop.
You know what, this patchwork of all sorts of mountain produce actually looks quite nice; there are all sorts of colors, especially the dried mushrooms, which are the prettiest.
Upon hearing this, Mu'er flattered, "No, no, no, Mother is the best. It's only because Mother brought it up first that Father was able to think of it. Based on my understanding of Father, he would never have come up with such a good idea."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan grabbed Mu'er by the back of the collar and laughed, "You little brat, I think you're asking for a beating!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh as they watched the father and son playing around.
Grandpa Zhao reminded the two of them, "Be careful, there are lots of things in the shop, don't bump into anything, or you'll cause a scene outside."
Seeing her older brother and father having so much fun, Ze'er rushed over and joined in the chaos.
The father and his two sons moved into the courtyard, and for a moment the entire shop was filled with their laughter and chatter.
At this moment, Li Wen walked back from outside. Xu Han ignored the father and his two sons outside when she saw him return and asked, "How did it go? Was everything settled?"
Li Wen smiled and nodded, took the water handed to him, and drank it in big gulps. He was clearly still catching his breath from running too fast.
Xu Han gestured for him not to rush and to wait patiently for Li Wen to recover. After a long while, Li Wen finally spoke, "Madam, everything has been taken care of."
As you instructed, I found a few beggars, gave them some money, and they went to call out as I told them.
Fearing we wouldn't have enough people, I went to the north of the city, where there were more beggars, and found a few more to help us hawk our wares.
When I came back, I made a special trip to check it out, and it was quite effective; they were still promoting it!
I reckon most of the city knows our shop is opening tomorrow.
After lunch, Xu Han instructed Li Wen to handle the matter.
