Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

After all, the milk tea shop was not his own store, so Li Yu passed the news to Mr. Xiang, who arranged for someone to go there.

Mr. Xiang has always been cautious in doing things. The next morning after Li Yu received the letter from Xie Youlan, the owner of Jinyulou sent him a message in the afternoon, saying that everything had been agreed upon and they just had to start preparing and confirm the time for the promotion.

As Jinyu Tower will be closed tomorrow, Li Yu decides to meet with Mr. Xiang tomorrow to finalize the final plan.

For this collaboration, Li Yu plans to launch a new milk tea.

The heroine of "Feng Yue Hua" loves to eat brown sugar, so a brown sugar glutinous rice ball milk tea is released. The hero loves to compete in tea drinking, so a matcha milk tea is released.

After the joint event starts, people who buy two milk teas at one time can get a small painting of the male and female protagonists of "Feng Yue Hua" together. There are five kinds of small paintings, and you can only get one at a time.

In addition, there is a lucky draw. Anyone who buys two or more cups of milk tea at one time will have a chance to participate in the lucky draw.

The prizes included "Another Bamboo Tube" milk tea, sugar-fried hawthorn, wolf-tooth potatoes, and sugar-fried chestnuts. There was also a grand prize, which was the autograph of Mr. Zhuyu, or Xie Youlan, a total of ten.

The item about the handwritten signature was added by Li Yu. Whether it can be implemented depends on whether Xie Youlan is willing.

Mr. Xiang looked at Li Yu's plan and felt that there would be no problem in making the new milk tea. However, he was a little hesitant about giving it to Xiao Hua.

"It's not hard to find a painter, but what if the customers don't like the painting?"

Li Yu tapped the paper and said, "I'm afraid some people won't like it, so I plan to make five different ones. If no one likes it, then there's nothing I can do."

Mr. Xiang: "Then I'll go back and ask the painter to draw it first."

Li Yu immediately reminded him, "Don't worry, I still have to discuss this with Miss Xie, and she has to see this plan. Mr. Xiang, please let the painter read "Feng Yue Hua" and understand the story. After all, only if the painter likes and understands the story, can he draw a painting that fits the characters in the story."

Mr. Xiang: “I understand.”

There was no time to lose, so after saying goodbye to Mr. Xiang, Li Yu had hotpot at a hotpot restaurant at noon and went to meet Xie Youlan in the afternoon.

Xie Youlan looked at the plan and felt that most of it was fine. She only had concerns about her signature grand prize.

“Would anyone really want this?”

Li Yu smiled, "There must be, you can trust me."

Xie Youlan: "Then I will write ten, but in order to prevent people familiar with my handwriting from recognizing it, I will write in cursive script."

Li Yu: "No problem, write whatever you want."

The two did not avoid talking about Xie Youlan's maid Ah Ruo. After they finished talking, Ah Ruo said, "It would be a bit awkward to just give her a piece of paper. I think it would be best if our young lady wrote her name on Feng Yue Hua."

Li Yu had also thought about this, and a signed book would undoubtedly be the best. But there was a problem, many people who liked "Feng Yue Hua" were girls in the boudoir, and if some pedantic and gossipy people saw girls in the boudoir smoking "Feng Yue Hua", it would not be a good thing for those girls, but a bad thing.

After all, there are restrictions on women in this era. In the secular view, women should read "Female Virtues" and "Female Precepts" instead of love stories, even though the men and women described by Xie Youlan are very normal.

Li Yu told Xie Youlan and A Ruo about his concerns.

Xie Youlan nodded: "Boss Li, you are right, it is true. Well, since you are here, I will write ten names for you right away."

Li Yu hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry, wait until the painting is finished, I'll bring a few paintings over, and you can write on them then."

Xie Youlan sat back in her chair, "Okay, I'll wait for your painting then."

At this point, the plan was officially finalized.

Two days later, the painter read the script in detail and began to paint.

The prince had several painters under his command. Mr. Xiang wanted to achieve a better effect, so he asked three painters to paint separately, and each of them painted five different pictures. However, they could not paint randomly, and had to paint famous scenes from the storybook.

Li Yu also painted five pictures.

She drew a cute little character version, or in modern terms, a Q version.

Her painting skills are still there, but whether she will be selected in the end will depend on the opinions of others.

The cute version is simpler than the painters' detailed paintings. When Li Yu finished, the painters had only painted one or two.

Li Yu was not in a hurry. He took advantage of this time to go to the milk tea shop to teach the chefs how to make new types of milk tea.

*

When all the paintings came out, Li Yu was making milk tea for Princess Jianing.

Mr. Xiang learned that Li Yu was in Prince An's mansion, so he rushed over under the pretext of delivering a message to the crown prince.

Because the relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince An appeared to be very bad to the outside world, he had a stern face and a cold expression the whole time he entered the room.

Only after he entered and King Hui's eyes were no longer in sight did he put away his cold expression.

Afterwards, several people sat in the garden, spread out all the paintings, and selected five from the fifteen.

The first round was chosen by Li Yu and Princess Jianing. Both of them had read "Feng Yue Hua" and directly picked out four paintings that did not match the content of the script.

In the second round, three people select five famous scenes from the storybook, and then choose based on the famous scenes.

In this round, three more paintings were removed.

The third round is to choose from the remaining eight pictures.

To be fair, the painters Mr. Xiang found are all highly skilled and there is nothing wrong with their paintings.

So this selection is the most difficult.

After discussing for almost an hour, several people finally finished two paintings, leaving six.

"Why not keep them all?" Mr. Xiang suggested, "It will just be a little more troublesome for the craftsmen to carve them."

Li Yu looked at Princess Jianing and nodded with her, "Alright."

As for the paintings she had drawn, Li Yu always carried them with her. After putting away the selected ones, she took out her own paintings and showed them to the two of them.

Princess Jianing liked it at first sight and said, "Although this kind of painting is simple, it is cute enough. I'll make two of this kind too."

Li Yu looked at Mr. Xiang.

Mr. Xiang looked at the paintings twice and nodded, "This is indeed novel. You can choose two to print."

Since they said so, Li Yu was no longer polite and took the initiative to discuss with them to choose two.

After the required paintings have been selected, the next step is to find craftsmen to carve and print them, which will take at least three days.

Li Yu thought that three days was not a long time, so he asked Mr. Xiang to arrange someone to contact the bookstore and start publicity.

She wrote the promotional material, which was concise and clear.

Let me tell you about the collaboration between "Feng Yue Hua" and Dong Xue Milk Tea Shop. It will start on November 13th and end on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. During the collaboration period, if you buy more than two bamboo tubes of milk tea, you can get a joint painting and you can also draw for Mr. Zhu Yu's autograph.

In addition to the bookstore, there are also promotional boards in front of the milk tea shop.

People in Beijing had never heard of the word "co-branding" before, and were greatly surprised and started discussing it.

Those who love "Feng Yue Hua" were more excited than each other when they saw the signature.

So, on the day the collaboration started, there were more people at the store entrance than when the milk tea shop opened.
