Chapter 173 Preparations for Shangyuan Festival

After two days of rest, Wei Yuanyuan, who had been flying for so long for the first time due to physical condition, finally recovered. Li Anran also took the time to go to the Tang Dynasty and continued to prepare for the upcoming Shangyuan Festival.

Although it is also the New Year, the time and space of the Tang Dynasty are obviously much more lively than in modern time and space. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the servants who signed the death contract first greeted Li Anran and Su Xiaomei and his masters in batches.

Then there were those merchants, and although no one gave me anything valuable when they came to pay New Year's greetings, they all brought food they cooked, knitted jewelry, or homemade eggs.

Even though Li Anran was not bad at all, he did not refuse these gifts and thoughts that came to his door.

This kind of New Year greetings occurred from the first day of the Lunar New Year and lasted until the beginning of the Lantern Festival, which was the fifteenth day of the year.

At that time, considering that his young master was lazy and wrong, he should have a leisurely temperament. Under the arrangement of Wang Youde and the housekeeper, there were only twenty households who came to pay New Year's greetings every day. However, according to the servants and the number of people employed by Xiaoyao Villa, the number of people employed by the merchants, and the number of people employed by the merchants, they could not receive them all before the Spring Festival. In the end, they had to improve their efficiency and finally got it done.

These are not considered big things. The real big thing is the coming day of the fifteenth day of the New Year.

The fifteenth year of the year is called Lantern Festival in modern time and space, also known as the Little New Year. In addition to having some Lantern Festival as appropriate, according to different customs in various places, temple fairs, lantern festivals, etc. will also be held to choose from. Anyway, the lantern festivals in Confucius Temple in Nanjing will be crowded with local and foreign tourists. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as shoulder-to-shoulder and crowded.

In the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, curfew system was implemented in normal times, which means that you should not go out at night, otherwise you would be more lucky and sent to the prison after being caught. If you are almost lucky, you will be chopped off by the soldiers who are performing the work of the night.

But on the 15th day of the New Year, the Lantern Festival, and it is also called Lantern Festival. During the three days before and after this festival, the curfew that is usually implemented will be cancelled by the one in Chang'an City to facilitate people to enjoy the lanterns. It is called "night opening".

On these three rare open nights, from princes and nobles to peddlers and pawns, all went out to enjoy the lanterns. As a result, the crowds of people were surging and lively. Even the emperor, who was the emperor, would not be able to withstand the celebration atmosphere of Lantern Festival, and thus walked out of the palace to enjoy the people.

Although the promotion and investment work of the commercial street and farmers' market were done well in the commercial street, the location was outside the county town after all. Even if it was not very far away, it would take some time to go back and forth. Therefore, in order to make his first real industry in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran put in a lot of effort.

Considering that the theme of the Shangyuan Festival is the lanterns, after learning from Wang Youde about the customs of the three festivals, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and Shangyuan, Li Anran ordered a large number of various equipment and supplies needed for festival celebrations in modern time and space.

Among them, there are hundreds of types of lanterns, mechanisms and handmade ones. From large to two-story high Kongming lanterns, as small as those that can be used as lighting when lifted in your hand, they are beautiful and fun, as well as pictures, and a moving lantern that can be rotated into a dynamic picture, etc., which can be said to be everything.

In addition to these holiday supplies, Li Anwei also specially asked Xiangyun to arrange personnel to decorate the commercial street. Not only did he set up street lights on the roadside that could make the night bright like day, but also added the shops that were originally empty, and also appropriately decorated, making the entire commercial street full of festive atmosphere.

Those shops that have been rented out have received notices that the Lantern Festival will be held on the Shangyuan Festival. Although this festival is also very important, for business people, the more they are, the better the opportunity to make a lot of money themselves. What's more, this is also a test of the commercial street's money journey, so no one is willing to miss this good opportunity to deliver it to their door.

As for the shops that have not been rented out, there is no waste. They directly draw enough staff from the villa. At the same time, Li Anran purchased various bulk foods for the Chinese New Year, such as candy, pastry, cheese, jerky, nuts, candied fruits, jerky, fruits, etc., in terms of quantity and variety, which are not worse than the wholesale market of modern time and space.

In addition, since I have done it, I will just make it bigger. At the same time, I also placed a batch of snack equipment purchased in various free shops, such as Taiwanese grilled sausages, spicy fried chicken wings, hot chicken corn, spicy hottang, duck blood vermicelli, firewood wontons, stinky tofu, duck necks, sesame cakes, ramen, fried bread, rouxyaki, etc.

Any snacks that are more famous and delicious in modern time and space are basically brought to their own commercial streets. As for technical problems, it is easy to solve. With the cooks led by Zhao Qian, it is not easy to cultivate good cooking skills in a short period of time, but it is not difficult to teach a group of people to use these equipment to make corresponding snacks.

What's more, there are many things, such as hand-catch cakes, fried chicken, grilled sausages, etc., which are all semi-finished products that are directly wholesale. At that time, you just need to throw them into the pot or put them in the oven and you can do it with a little processing. There is no need for too many skills and abilities. Big girls, little wives, and even young guys who are not yet adults can do it.

In addition to eating and drinking, Li Anran also prepared a lot of clothing, accessories, and groceries that he would use in daily life. For example, chopsticks, dishes, scissors, hoes, needles and threads, wine utensils, tea sets, vases, etc. In short, it is just that the span of civilization is not large, that is, practical and abnormal, and has been approved for a lot of daily necessities.

In fact, with the surplus of material differences between the Tang Dynasty and the modern time and space, Li Anran spent so much time and energy, and also had these investments. Even if he could still make a profit by using the exchange rate between copper coins, silver and gold in this era, the profits in it were not as good as those of the profits from making some jade materials, Tianhuang, and bloodstones to selling them in modern time and space.

But for Anran, although it is not impossible to continue to make money through luxury goods and collectibles in modern times, it is not impossible to continue. However, with the special auction that caused a long time before finally calming down, the risk of doing this is much greater than the beginning.

Especially after receiving a private transaction invitation from the auction company to some wealthy and powerful wealthy people, Li Anran knew very well that his method of quickly obtaining a large amount of funds has brought certain adverse consequences. In this case, continuing to make money by taking the old ways is simply to cause trouble for himself.

Luckily, Li Anran was not confused after earning the greatest wealth in his life. After purchasing Napa's winery, he established offshore companies, bag companies, transit warehouses, domestic trading companies, international trading companies and other industries. Even if he no longer uses the resources of the Tang Dynasty's time and space, he can generate a lot of profit every year.

In addition to the funds obtained at the auction before, there is no need to worry about shortage of money in a short period of time. It is precisely because of this that Li Anran did not intend to get modern time and space into modern time and space at all. Instead, he was preparing to invest in his next plan.

Compared with the busyness and fulfillment of the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran, who tried to take time to return to modern time and space every day, seemed much more leisurely, and Wei Yuanyuan, who had recovered her health.
