087: Where did the money come from?
When Teacher Feng left, Cao Ming said thank you.
The old man's tone was calm, and his words had a deep meaning:
"You didn't make money, I didn't lose anything, thank you."
After such an episode by Mr. Feng, Cao Ming's business began to improve.
But in the end, there are still many people who watch the excitement, and there are few people who actually buy it.
It's no wonder that people don't blame people, this five yuan pair is indeed too expensive, and many people who come to patronize the business only buy a pair to see it fresh, and the rest still go to other ordinary stalls to buy those batch couplets.
So although there are a lot of people around Cao Ming, the business is not salty or light.
Cao Ming thought about it and decided to change the package.
I wrote an ad for myself with a brief introduction to the business:
Package 1:
Luxury private custom Spring Festival couplets, on-site creation, couplets can contain eight characters of the name, five yuan a pair.
Package 2: Standard Spring Festival couplets. Choose your favorite couplet from the book and write it on the spot, two yuan a pair.
Cao Ming and Lilac put this billboard on the wooden board, and the effect was immediate, almost as soon as this standard set meal was launched, it was sought after by the majority of customers who are careful about budget-conscious pursuit of affordability.
"The spring breeze only entered the house last night,
Today, the willow is half hanging down the embankment.
Little Master, I'll just choose this and write it for me."
"I think it's good, atmospheric.
Gao Tiandong goes to Su everything,
The earth spring plays back the face flowers.
Little boss, you remember, I want this ......"
"Mine is' the flower bears the morning dew and a thousand branches
The warbler feels the spring breeze and sings'"
β¦β¦
Lilac helped cut the paper, the man surnamed Hu poured ink, the three gradually got acquiesced, Cao Ming's hands did not stop, and he wrote almost wave after wave.
With this kind of high-intensity pen movement, Cao Ming's ink became more and more smooth, and the font structure became more and more handy, and he began to slowly return to the original state of the pen, and the couplet writing became smooth and smooth in one go.
The lively scene here attracted a large number of onlookers, who watched a boy in his teens write with a solemn expression.
The two sides of the booth are filled with a pair of new couplets dripping with ink, with different fonts and changeable styles, or strong and vigorous, and even a little bit of strength through the back of the paper......
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that this was written by a little kid with a different world.
The base of customers is large, and there are some people who try luxury packages, including the owner of a township enterprise, and the boss reported his name: "Liu Fugui"
Cao Ming saw that he was celebrating the New Year, but his face was sad, his clothes were shabby, and he was sad between his eyebrows, so he had an idea in his heart, and wrote a pair to him:
Poor and ambitious to be rich,
Learning is not complacent, and innovation is valuable.
Horizontal batch: Yesterday can not be kept
Coupled with the horizontal batch, the tail word happens to contain Liu (stay rich and noble), and there is an admonition, and there are many words.
The down-and-out boss with worn-out glasses looked at the written Spring Festival couplets in a daze, read them several times in a trance, and insisted on giving Cao Ming an extra ten yuan.
Of course Cao Ming will not refuse, this kind of crooked thing has not been encountered for a hundred years, of course, it cannot be let go.
At noon, Grandpa called him with Cao Ming's newly bought mobile phone, saying that it was time for lunch and asking her to come back quickly.
Cao Ming was stunned to find that time had passed in a flash, and now it was more than twelve o'clock.
Cao Ming hurriedly said that the stall was cleaned up, and the table or something was put in place, so that Lao Hu, who didn't go home at noon, would help take care of it.
When Cao Ming went back, he first sent Lilac home, and took a cover by the way, so that Lilac would not be scolded enough when he went home.
Who knew that when I returned to Lilac's house, I found that my parents were sitting at the small table eating very calmly, but they didn't show any anxiety about their daughter's whereabouts.
Lilac's father and Cao Ming's father had always had a good relationship before, and by the way, his attitude towards Cao Ming was also good, and after beckoning his daughter to wash his hands quickly, he politely asked Cao Ming to sit down and eat.
Cao Ming smiled and said no, and quickly explained that Lilac was called by himself to help today, and she came back late.
Lilac's mother sneered:
"We can't control this girl now, what do we like to do in the future."
I don't know to whom this is being heard.
Lilac's father glared at his woman, and said to Cao Ming with a smile:
"Even if you don't say it, I can guess what's going on. Yesterday, I heard her mother say that you came back, and I knew that this girl should not return home again, didn't you do this every day for two hours? Besides, Lilac is playing with you, and nothing can happenγγγ"
The man was about to say something, but his leg under the table was pinched by the mother-in-law, and the words immediately stopped.
Cao Ming pretended not to notice, and his expression remained unchanged before saying goodbye to them.
Lilac came back after washing her hands and found that Cao Ming was gone, and asked, "Brother is gone?" Didn't eat together? β
Lilac's mother glanced at her daughter: "Your girl's heart and eyes are more solid than wooden piers, and you turn your elbows outward every day." Brother's, scream! What brother? Who is he? What to eat? People don't have food at home? β
Lilac Daddy can't listen to it:
"Okay, okay, is there an end? Lilac also went to people to eat, and it was not too much for people to come for a meal......"
Lilac's mother still had to distinguish a few words, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that Lilac's pockets were stuffed with bulges and babbling, and the corners of a few banknotes were still exposed.
She was quick and pulled things out of her daughter's pocket.
When I got it in my hand, I sent a bag full of money.
Lilac's mother's eyes lit up, and she was not curious: "Girl, lackey shiyun?" Found money? β
Lilac's father was also stunned, but his expression quickly became serious, and his voice scolded:
"Lilac, where did you come from this year?"
Lilac's mother was protecting her daughter at this time: "What are you shouting?" Don't scare your daughter!
Don't be afraid of cloves, this money mom will save it for you, and I will bring you a new dress for the New Year. β
I thought that Lilac must be happy when she heard this, but I didn't expect people to appreciate it at all, and grabbed the money bag back with one hand, like an old chicken protecting a calf:
"You can't touch this money, this is what Brother Cao worked hard to earn today"
The two adults were stunned.
"Earned?"
Lilac's parents obviously didn't believe it, although the face value of the money in this bag was not large, but it added up to at least a hundred yuan, listening to her daughter's meaning, Cao Ming earned so much in one morning?
Now this money is so easy to make?
Lilac's father's first reaction was that his daughter was lying, and it was very likely that he and Cao Ming would work together to deceive their parents.
He stabilized his emotions and followed the following steps:
"Lilac, tell your dad the truth, no matter where the money comes from, you just have to tell dad the truth, dad doesn't blame you."
Lilac was not angry: "Okay, okay, stolen it."
Lilac's father took it seriously, slapped the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and raised his voice an octave:
"What do I say, this girl is used to you! It's the other way around!
Where did it come from? I can't see it today, I won't kill you dead girl! β
Lilac's mother also changed her face, and hurriedly said to her daughter:
"You can't talk nonsense, how did you get this money?"
Lilac calmly took a bite of rice and snorted: "You don't believe me when I tell the truth, no matter what I say."
Lilac's mother came back to her taste and carefully confirmed: "This is really Cao Ming's?"
"Yes! Oh, believe it or not, Brother Cao and I are going to set up stalls on the street in the afternoon, and you can go and see for yourself. β
Lilac didn't bother to say any more.
"Stalls? What kind of stall? β
Daddy Lilac breathed a sigh of relief, and curiosity came up again.
But the daughter seemed to have a grudge, ignored him, and just lowered her head to eat.
Lilac's mother saw that this was a matter of eight or nine, and quietly took the money bag and took out a few five pieces from it.
"Oh Mom, what are you doing? What are you doing with my brother's money? β
"Didn't you tell your mother that you were working with Cao Ming this morning?
Since the two of you are together, you should also have a share of this money, your mother will keep it for you first, if he Cao Ming has any opinions, let him come and tell me. β
Lilac opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, she was depressed for a while, and turned her head to ask for help: "Dad, look~!"
Lilac's father also felt that this was inappropriate, and he was just about to preside over justice, but his own woman took the lead:
"It's none of your business! But if you have a little bit of money, I don't even care about some money?
Which of this chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea don't worry about me? You have to take care of it, and you will be in charge of it in the future! β
This is a man's death hole, Lilac's father was short of breath, so he had to comfort his daughter: "Eat first, and then talk after eating."
Lilac went crazy and pushed the bowl: "Don't eat, I'm full."
After saying that, he grabbed the money bag and ran out again.
However, Lilac's mother rarely left her daughter in distress this time, but advised:
"The dead girl remembered to ask for her share of the money when she was working with the Cao family boy in the afternoon, if you can't open your mouth, I'll ask for it."
When Lilac heard this, she covered her ears and didn't look back.
