Chapter 50: I Can't Do It
Because today is not a year, a festival or a set, there is not a lot of excitement in Qingyuan County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The shops on the street were all standing bored, with sackcloth on their shoulders, yawning, and occasionally when a guest arrived, they all immediately widened their eyes and nodded to welcome them in.
Li Hua'er has been here a few times, and she is familiar with the main road of this county, she first walked slowly on the street, wanting to see who had any novel goods, and then went to the north and south grocery stores.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the young man yawning.
"Good day, Brother Qi." Li Hua'er smiled at the guy surnamed Qi and said.
Seeing her come in, the half-yawned was swallowed by this fellow.
"Miss Li is here?" The Qi guy came out from behind the counter, and said with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, just like seeing the God of Wealth.
Because of the last cricket cage incident, Li Huaer became famous in this north and south grocery store, and the shopkeeper Ke told the people in the store to treat Li Huaer well, don't offend her.
You must know that Li Hua'er's last set of cricket cages went to the money, and Ke's shopkeeper also earned a net of three hundred taels.
Three hundred taels! Shopkeeper Ke also rewarded him with five taels of miles.
This guy is not very old, but he is the head of the guy in the shop, naturally he is not a fool, and he is very knowledgeable in his heart.
Groceries in the north and south are well-known grocery stores in Pingshui Prefecture, and in 26 counties of Pingshui Prefecture, large and small, there are Boss Ke's business, which is in front of Lord Qiao in the state capital, and his own boss can also stand slightly.
Even if it was such a north-south groceries, Qi had never seen a few businesses that netted three hundred taels - after all, they were buying ordinary groceries that were interconnected between the north and the south, and they were not gold, silver, jade, or cherished medicinal herbs.
Besides, even if the gold, silver and jade business is in a place like Pingshui Prefecture, I am afraid that it is difficult to see such a big business all year round.
Xiao Shen Gongzi is rich and loves to play, and for the sake of these playthings, he doesn't care about money.
And this money is earned because of Li Huaer's cricket jars.
So even if the shopkeeper doesn't say it, the Qi guys won't offend Li Hua'er. In addition, the first time Li Hua'er came, it was these guys who came out to receive them, so this guy took advantage of that reason to get closer to Li Hua'er every time.
Since it was business, Li Hua'er's attitude was also very soft, and she smiled at the guys: "Is the shopkeeper Ke there?" ”
Qi slapped his face and smiled regretfully: "The girl came unfortunately, at the invitation of the adults in the house, the shopkeeper's former went to the state capital, and I am afraid it will take three or four days to come back." ”
Li Hua'er raised her eyebrows slightly, the adults in the house? Didn't you mean the state order of Pingshui Prefecture?
The man continued: "Before the shopkeeper left, he instructed me to look at the store, and if the girl has any matter, it is the same as me. ”
Li Huaer smiled and said: "Last time, the shopkeeper asked me to design a good-looking table screen, and I must be more elegant, I went back and thought about it, I don't know if it's good or not." ”
When the guy heard this, he hurriedly said, "What the girl did, where is there anything bad?" I wonder if you can show me first? ”
Li Hua'er smiled, took out the drawings from the small baggage on her back, gave them to the Qi guy, and said with a smile: "The material design is all on it, and the Qi brothers are well-informed, and they also help the staff officers." ”
The Qi guy said "don't dare" repeatedly, spread out the drawing, and looked at it.
Li Hua'er said politely, but she was very confident in this, who knew that the Qi guy frowned when he saw it.
Li Hua'er was stunned and asked, "What?" Not good-looking? ”
Qi shook his head: "Of course it's good-looking, it's just ......" She sighed, folded the thing, and said, "In the entire Pingshui Prefecture, I'm afraid I can't find a good carpenter to make this." ”
Li Hua'er was also stunned when she heard him say this.
After she designed the cricket jar last time, Shopkeeper Ke said something similar: "The girl's painting is so exquisite, I'm afraid there is no such good craftsman." ”
That time, she only thought Ke Zhao was polite, and didn't think much about it.
But now it seems that she is still ...... I really should think about it.
What she did this time was just a small table screen, with complex patterns and carvings, because it belonged to the scholar's room, so Li Huaer also added some small ingenuity according to the memory in her heart.
"This ...... Is it hard? Li Hua'er asked with some uncertainty.
Guy Qi nodded: "The girl made the cricket jar last time, and our shopkeeper was dissatisfied." For example, the porcelain, the appearance of coming out, is always stunned, and I can't come out of the subtlety of the girl's picture. ”
As he spoke, the Qi guy looked at the drawings again and sighed: "Don't worry, girl, if Uncle Li is here, maybe you can still make this table screen." ”
Li Hua'er fell silent.
But in her memory, this small table screen is nothing more than ordinary.
In addition to pen, ink, paper, inkstone, pen mountain pen holders, table screens, paper weights and other things, there are many sets in Li Huaer's mind.
Li Huaer is very sure, and she is sure that she is ...... I used to play the same.
She is also counting on this table to attract a bigger business.
Thinking about it, Li Hua'er was silent for a while, and said: "This table screen is woodcut, which is considered my family's craft, since I can't find a good craftsman...... Then I'll do it. ”
When the young man heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "The girl can really do it?" ”
Li Hua'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Try it, the tools left by my father are all complete, but I haven't carved them so meticulously, so I have to be careful." And ......"
Li Hua'er paused slightly and said with a smile: "Since I did it myself this time, the price will always be higher." ”
Qi immediately laughed and said, "This is natural." After that, he hurriedly went to the back, took out five taels of silver, and held it to Li Hua'er with both hands: "This is even a deposit, and the girl must do it." ”
Li Hua'er was not polite, took the money, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, don't worry, I will do my best." ”
……
Since the groceries came out from the north and south, Li Huaer walked around this street again and bought a lot of food.
In a gold and silver shop, I bought a pair of silver cloves for Li Guoer, spent one or two dollars, and went to the rouge shop to buy five yuan a piece of head oil.
She must bring back Li Guo'er's yellow hair.
The things were almost bought, and Li Huaer finally entered the book and paper store again, and under the disdainful gaze of the guy, she bought pen, ink and paper.
When she came out of the book and paper store, and just walked to the corner of the street, she heard someone call her: "Miss Li? ”
Li Hua'er turned around and saw the eldest young master of the Wu family standing behind her with a bookcase on his back.
When Li Hua'er saw that it was him, she smiled lightly and said politely: "Young Master Wu." ”
Young Master Wu flashed slightly, hugged his fists and said, "Seeing that you came out of the book and paper store, I am afraid that you will recognize the wrong person." As he spoke, he glanced at the things Li Hua'er was holding in his hand and said with a smile, "Are you literate?" ”
Li Hua'er smiled: "Yes, I learned some from my father." ”
