Everyone was surprised to learn that this was bear meat, and when they heard that it was Zhao Qingzao who caught the bear by digging a trap by himself, they were even more admired, praising Zhao Qingzao for being smart and praising her for her good cooking skills.

Zhao Qingzao has been worried about raising medical expenses these days, and at this time he got five hundred taels, and half of his mind was gone. The important thing is that since the trap can be caught all the time, it can catch the second and third, as long as the idea is proved to be correct.

She was fluttering all day long, and the smile on her face never stopped.

After eating, Zhao Qingzao specially went to find Chu Xingshan, this trap was dug by them together, and the bear was also caught together, and of course the money earned should be divided equally. Although Zhao Qingzao was very painful to get the money in hand, it was a matter of course, and she would not lose it.

As a result, she was willing to give, but Chu Xingshan was unwilling to accept it: "If you don't have to use money for something at home, why do you take such a big risk to hunt, you can use this money." My family is not short of money for the time being, and I can get by, not to mention that you handed over the technology of pickling preserved eggs to my grandmother before, and that alone is enough for our family's expenses. ”

Seeing her hesitate, Chu Xingshan said: "Most of the traps this time are your ideas, I just beat them, if I can get half of them, how can I take peace of mind." It's better for you to take it first this time, since we caught the first one, we will definitely catch the others in the future, and it makes sense to divide some with me when the time comes. ”

This idea coincides with Zhao Qingzao, mainly because she needs money now, which is not only the medical expenses for treating Shen Changting, but also her lively child in the future. Zhao Qingzao thanked him gratefully, thinking that he would give more points to Chu Xingshan next time to repay him.

After thanking him repeatedly, Zhao Qingzao also accepted the money first. After making lunch, her day's work was done, and she couldn't wait to go back and count the money with her money bag.

After saying hello to the people in the county office, Zhao Qingzao planned to go back, and when he left, he wanted to tell Shen Changting that he had been busy just now, and he hadn't told him about getting the 'huge money', so he turned around, but he didn't see anywhere, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, Shen Changting usually barely moved, and he had been nesting in his corner.

It's strange that I'm not here today.

Zhao Qingzao asked casually, but someone saw Shen Changting's whereabouts and said, "I saw him go out with a scroll just now." ”

Suddenly, someone said, "Oh, I seem to have seen it too, it's that painting, the one he brought in the morning, it's really good." ”

The previous man sarcastically said: "You can also understand whether it is good or not, you can't even draw a circle." ”

The sarcastic man was not convinced: "Do you know, I can't draw round, aren't you the same?" Shen Changting's painting was said by the master, and the master said it was good, then it was good. ”

The two quarreled back and forth, no one obeyed anyone, and others didn't care about them, anyway, it's usually like this. However, the master touched his mustache and sighed: "That painting is really a rare and good painting, and it is rare for today's young people to have such skills." ”

The county magistrate on the side also nodded and agreed, and both of them thought that Shen Changting was so young and talented, but he was physically weak, and sure enough, there was no perfect thing in the world, and Hui Ji would be hurt.

Zhao Qingzao had seen Shen Changting many times when he was painting, and Shen Changting did not avoid her. She doesn't know anything about painting, that is, an abstract school who scribbles with a pen, although she looks at Shen Changting's paintings, she also thinks that the paintings are very good, but she can't see what is good and how to do it.

At this time, when I heard everyone's praise, although I was very happy, I didn't take it too seriously. I don't think Shen Changting can sell how much money she can sell paintings, she has never wanted Shen Changting to work so hard, but Shen Changting is also in the same mood, unwilling to see her working hard alone, insisting on painting to subsidize the family, she can't stop her.

Let him toss it, as long as he works harder and saves enough money early, he can end this hard life as soon as possible, but Shen Changting doesn't have to be so tired, and the poison in his body can be cured.

While thinking about the future, Zhao Qingzao, who cheered himself up, went home.

When she went home, she was not idle, she went to Grandma Niu first, firstly to see the pickling of preserved eggs, and secondly, to stabilize Grandma Niu's mood. Grandma Niu was a little nervous for the first time to pick up the girder alone, but Zhao Qingzao went, so she could feel at ease.

After seeing the pickling of preserved eggs, he praised Grandma Niu with great affirmation, and waited until Grandma Niu regained her confidence before Zhao Qingzao left.

Then she went to the herb garden, these are not simple herbs, for Zhao Qingzao, they are all money, and they accumulate a lot, and not a single copper can fall to the ground.

When Zhao Qingzao was busy at home, Shen Changting was walking on the street with his scroll.

He knows best how much his paintings can sell for, Zhao Qingzao doesn't know how to paint, and he can't see the value, but he knows very well, and he knows even more about what kind of turmoil this painting will cause once it is taken out.

Even in such a small remote county, there will be people who know the goods, as long as someone understands the painting, naturally there will be people who will recognize him, and when the time comes, the purpose of his coming here will ......

The fingers holding the scroll tightened slightly, and Shen Changting's expressionless face showed a slight flaw.

Various pictures flashed rapidly in his mind, and finally stopped at the back of Zhao Qingzao lighting an oil lamp and drawing drawings on the table. Yes, he is not the same person now, he is no longer a person, but a family man, his wife is working for him, for their future, and what excuse does he have to escape.

At least he can be sure that no matter what happens, he doesn't need to be alone anymore. As long as someone is by his side, no matter what kind of difficulties, he can carry it.

Having made up his mind, Shen Changting exhaled lightly and walked forward slowly but firmly.

He went directly to the bookstore where he usually buys paper and pencils, where he also paints by hand, and he has met him several times when he went to buy paper, and the owner is not bad. He doesn't ask how many paintings in his hand can be sold, as long as he can sell them, one is not enough, he can paint a few more.

The boss also had some impression of this handsome but weak guest, and when he saw him coming, he greeted with a smile: "I want to buy something this time, a new batch of ink has arrived, it's not bad, do you want to take a look?"

Shen Changting said: "I'm not here to buy something today, but to sell a painting." ”

"Oh. That's right. There are also many readers who come to sell or consign paintings and calligraphy in the store, and the boss has long been used to it, so he is not surprised, and said, "Do you plan to sell them directly, or do you want to sell them with me?"

Shen Changting said: "Sell it directly, the sooner the better." ”

The boss nodded, looked at the scroll in his hand, and said, "Is this the picture?" ”

Before buying and selling, it is natural to inspect the goods first, Shen Changting stepped forward, put the painting scroll on the prevention and control, and slowly opened it.

"Oh!" the boss used to be just a casual skimming, there are too many people who come to him to sell paintings, they are generally about the same level, the boss is also a person who knows how to paint, at a glance, he can also understand the value, and the money given is also fair.

But this one recently really surprised him.

This painting work, this idea, is not ordinary people can paint, the boss boasted that he had seen a few good paintings, and he was still amazed at the one in front of him.

This amazement increased with the unfolding of the scroll, until the whole painting was completely displayed in front of him, he circled around the painting several times, and Shen Changting was dazzled, and reminded him loudly, and the boss came to his senses.

"Good painting, good painting. The boss praised again and again, and looked at Shen Changting's eyes shining, as if he was looking at a rare treasure: "Young man, where did you get this painting? Do you really want to sell it? Such a rare and good painting, you can keep it, once you miss it, you may not be able to see it again in the future." ”

Shen Changting was vague about the origin of the painting, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble until he had to, so he just said: "Thank you boss for reminding me, it's just that I want to sell this painting, and I ask the boss to give a price." ”

The boss looked at him and didn't want to say the origin of the painting, but he looked frank, not like a stolen object of unknown origin, not to mention that the painting was obviously inked and stolen, if he ran to steal it, it was impossible to see his body, and secondly, the boss thought that he knew a thing or two about the people who painted in the county, and he really hadn't seen it if it was so good.

Since this person doesn't say it, he won't ask more, this is someone else's private matter, and he, who runs a shop, just needs to ensure that the source of the painting is clear and clean.

The boss looked down at the painting, looked at it more, and felt a little more surprised, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but the price was really hard to grasp: "Young man, I am also a person who loves painting, this painting is indeed good, I didn't say it, no matter who I showed it, I can't say a word no." It's just that at this price, I can't say it well. ”

Shen Changting said good-naturedly: "Okay, the boss said a price, and I will sell it if I can get by." ”

The boss said: "No, no, am I taking the opportunity to exploit the skinning businessman? I don't mean to give less, but your painting is so good, so good that I have only seen it in my life, give less, I can't help it, give more, hehehe...... It's hard to set the price. ”

Shen Changting also saw that the boss had a good character, and he really wanted to buy his paintings, he actually didn't care how much money the paintings could sell, he just wanted to help a little, so that Zhao Qingzao didn't have to get up early and work hard in the dark.

At the moment, he said sincerely: "I also urgently need money, so I came out to sell my paintings, and I don't want to sell them for a high price." The boss is also a person who loves to draw, even if it's a little lower. ”

"Good, good. Good. The boss rubbed his hands happily, he would take this painting even if he smashed the pot and sold iron, such a good thing, if it was preempted by others, he would have to hang his hands for several years.

The boss took the abacus on the side, dialed a number on it, pushed it in front of Shen Changting, and stared at him nervously. Shen Changting just glanced at it, nodded, and agreed.

The boss was overjoyed, rushed into the inner courtyard with a wind under his feet, and rushed out to put the two silver tickets on the table and asked Shen Changting to count them. Shen Changting saw it, put it in his sleeve, and left.

The boss sent him away graciously, and when he left, he continued to return to the table beautifully, touching his beard and admiring the painting. Now he may have been showing off his power for a while, those old guys, who would dare to laugh at him for not having a treasure in his store.

This one is!
