Chapter 057: Ingenuity and Ingenuity 1
Lao Shi doesn't have much money in cash, but he has a lot of things in the warehouse. He has sorted out more than a hundred pieces of fabric alone! Some of the good materials are old and cannot be made into clothes and are not easy to give away, so they all are used to paste gift boxes.
.
When it comes to gift giving, what modern people pay most attention to is the value of packaging.
The most obvious example is mooncakes. For many high-end mooncakes, two-thirds of the price is in the gift box, or even more.
So Yuan Wense thought we should come up with some good packaging boxes.
First, I couldn't find the cardboard layer in the packaging box, so I used cheap bamboo green paper with a layer of cotton on the inside, thin wood slices at the four corners, and pasted the outside like a painting, and glued the brocade on the inside and outside. In this way, those
The high-end fabrics, which have been aged for a long time and look good in color, but are actually very brittle and no longer suitable for making clothes, have been used in new ways. By using the color combination, each box can be elegant, cute, or noble, and so on.
Nowadays, most of the gifts given are wooden boxes. Everyone determines the value based on the wood. A small rosewood box costs dozens of taels. Even if the wenge boxwood is cheaper, it will cost more than ten taels. Even the cheapest peach wood box
, it also costs a few taels of silver, and no matter how cheap it is, it’s just a low-grade gift box.
But the boxes made from these fine silks are beautiful and light, and the gift boxes they make are so high-end that you can put anything in them and it will feel extraordinary.
In fact, it’s just recycling household waste.
Yuan Wense himself was neither good at handicrafts nor painting, so he recruited the embroiderer in the house to draw some flower and plant patterns to make thin square pillows. Each one was made about one foot square, and the filling inside was soft and soft.
Cotton. The key point is that the pattern is large, rounded is the best, the color is bright and bright, and the best silk and satin are used for the fabric.
Four embroiderers in the house took three days to make this simple pillow. The huge flowers of various colors are very cute from a distance and up close!
In addition, a set of five gold jewelry for babies was added for the occasion, and it made a small splash during the third bath. Several of the royal wives said that this thing is good, it is soft and will not hurt the child, and it can be used when it gets dirty.
Wash it clean.
Yuan Wense simply came up with some other designs, and one family presented a set of twelve patterns, choosing the rich and happy ones, and presented them to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Crown Princess, the fourth concubine, the sixth concubine, and all the sisters-in-law.
Everyone gave back a bunch of rewards, and the rate of return was astonishingly high.
It's just that most of the gifts given by the emperor cannot be cashed and cannot be given away. Yuan Wense thought that when he left, he would take more gifts with him so that future generations could exchange for more money and reduce the burden on Lao Shi's treasury.
Everyone knows that Shi Fujin is not only beautiful, but also clever and clever.
When I came back in the evening, Old Ten couldn't stop smiling: "Huang Ama said that the twelve zodiac pictures were given to Little Eighteen. Little Nineteen is also very jealous. You can have some more embroidered for these little brothers."
Anyway, the embroiderer is at home, and if she doesn’t do something, she’s eating in vain. Of course Senna agrees with the original text, but for the little brothers, she uses a pattern with words embroidered in the middle, from one to twelve, and can teach the children to count by the way.
She left all this matter to Grandma Gong to take care of. Anyway, according to Yuan Wense, managing internal affairs means that the responsibilities are in place and the responsibilities are assigned to the people.
I asked Grandma Gong to find two people who could write and record everything so that it was well-documented and traceable.
