In the following days, Gu Yundong began to get busy.
The renovation of the shop was almost done. She had to prepare for the opening of the shop.
New Tea Pavilion was different from Gu’s. The number of custors the New Tea Pavilion faced was fixed. What’s more, it had already been advertised and the invitation had been sent out. Therefore, there was no need to attract custors with great fanfare at the door.
In fact, ever since the Qin family’s banquet last ti, many madams and young ladies had been eying the food. Madam Ge had sent soone to say that several groups of people had already looked for her, so there would not be many guests. Gu Yundong was not very worried.
However, it was the opening of a new shop after all, so she still needed a big promotion.
She thought about it and made a brochure stating that gifts would be given away once the paynt exceeded the threshold. As for the gifts, she could give away the canned dried fruits she wanted to sell in the future. Although Gu’s was not open yet, there was nothing wrong with doing publicity now.
When she left Yongfu Village previously, she had kept a lot of them in her space.
In any case, her husband had more or less guessed it. Tong Shuitao and Shao Wen wouldn’t know how much she had given away, and it wouldn’t arouse suspicion if she took sothing out.
In addition to gifts, she also made a lot of coupons.
When the ti ca, with the coupons, the next ti the custors ca over, they could get a discount.
After everything was ready, the renovation of the shop was finally done.
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan went to the New Tea Pavilion for a checkup. It was exactly as they had expected.
Carpenter Pang wiped his sweat and looked at the brand new shop in front of him. His face was filled with a sense of accomplishnt.
Gu Yundong was very satisfied after looking at the front, back, and upstairs. She gave the salary to Carpenter Pang.
Carpenter Pang’s face was filled with joy. He turned around and gave a portion of his salary to his two disciples.
Gu Yundong was a little surprised. In this day and age, disciples who followed their master did not get paid.
"Master Pang, the work here is done. Rest for two days and renovate Shao’s shop later."
Carpenter Pang waved his hand. "No need, no need. I can go over tomorrow. I don’t need to rest."
The salary this ti was a total of 50 taels, but this was a big shop.
Although Shao’s and Gu’s were small, the renovation fees of the three shops added up to almost a hundred taels of silver.
He had earned so much after working for such a short amount of ti. Carpenter Pang’s heart was filled with passion. He felt that he did not need to rest at all.
Gu Yundong disagreed. "You should at least rest for a day. Didn’t you get paid? Treat yourself well, buy warm clothes, and eat sothing good. I think the three of you have lost a lot of weight."
Shao Qingyuan nodded. "Rest for a day."
Since the two bosses had said so, Carpenter Pang did not decline them. He led his two disciples, carried their tools, and left.
Only Gu Yundong and her husband were left in the huge shop.
The two of them couldn’t help but smile at each other.
"We can open for business after ventilating for a few days. Is the plaque ready?"
"Yes, it’s done. It’ll be delivered to the house this afternoon."
They were talking about the plaque with the emperor’s calligraphy.
That day, Yi Zilan indeed went to the palace. There was no telling what he said, but he ca out with three pieces of calligraphy and sent them straight to the Shao family.
However, when he t Gu Yundong, his eyes were filled with jealousy and unwillingness. She did not know what was wrong with him.
When they arrived at the Shao family’s house later, the three plaques were indeed placed in the courtyard.
