Chapter 116: Gift of Paintings
Actually, Ye Xiaoyu doesn't think that Qinglang is a ruthless person, especially when he sees him desperately trying to save Lu Qian, but for some reason, at a young age, he always wraps all his thoughts under a cold appearance, and nothing comes out, not to mention seeing him through, even if it is a simple communication, it can't be achieved.
"Sunny, it's your turn......"
Seeing that the sun was clear and didn't react, Qian Yi smiled and reminded him. I don't know if it's his own delusion, he feels that after a few days of not seeing each other, the child has become more reticent.
Qing Lang didn't have any expression, got up from the chair, held the brush in his hand, and walked straight to the pillar in front of him, without hesitation, and wrote his name directly on it. The words are very good-looking, but they are a little casual, like Ye Xiaoyu's celebrity signature in her previous life, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, but you can't see what is written.
"Xiaoyu, all of us have signed, do you have any other requirements?"
After Qinglang sat back in his position, Qian Yi smiled and continued to ask Ye Xiaoyu.
"Mr. Hui, I have one more request."
Ye Xiaoyu's voice was a little quiet, but it was enough for Qianyi to hear.
"There's ...... more"
Lu Qian scolded unhappily in the front row, just such a bad painting, tossed for so long. Knowing this, she brought the one she had drawn before and asked Ling Yu to write on it.
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
There are still requirements, and Qian Yi can't understand how many novel and strange ideas are hidden in Ye Xiaoyu's head.
Ye Xiaoyu didn't answer immediately, but got up from his seat, walked to the front, took the painting down from the pillar, rolled it up, and finally stood in front of Qianyi.
"Mr. Hui, my last request is that I hope Mr. will accept this painting......"
Ye Xiaoyu raised her head, looked at Qianyi's eyes full of surprise, stabilized her body, and said calmly with a smile.
“…… Xiaoyu, are you going to give me this painting? ”
Originally, it was a little strange for everyone to see Ye Xiaoyu suddenly get up from the chair and take the painting down without authorization, but now that he made such an unexpected request, Qian Yi couldn't react for a while.
"Well, I originally painted this painting to give it to Mr., but the painting was not good, and I hope Mr. doesn't mind."
Ye Xiaoyu's eyes flashed and she looked up at Qianyi. Judging from Qianyi's expression in class today, he should not come back next year. Say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again, this painting can be regarded as a souvenir for Qianyi.
"Mind that? How can you mind, sir, you have this heart, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I mind......"
"Sir, please take it."
Ye Xiaoyu handed the scroll to Qian Yi with both hands, and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Okay, then you're welcome."
Looking at Ye Xiaoyu's appearance, Qian Yi no longer shirked, and stretched out his hands to take the picture scroll from Ye Xiaoyu's hand......
After class, Ye Xiaoyu did not go back to Nanyuan, but went directly out of the gate and went to the village.
Quanxiu Village is a large village with a large population, and it is some distance from the capital, so in order to facilitate the daily life of the villagers, there are also some small shops on both sides of the streets in the center of the village, selling some daily necessities and food, such as flour, cane sugar, etc., there are not many types, but enough to meet the life of the villagers. As for salt, because Daye State implements a monopoly system for it, it cannot be bought in the village, and it can only be bought in a store specially authorized by the capital, and there are strict quantity restrictions, and the purchase must be based on the household register. Because of this, every time someone in the village goes to the capital, other villagers will stuff several copies of the household registration book and ask him to buy some and bring them back, after all, there are still many uses of salt in the countryside.
Ye Xiaoyu came out this time to buy some eggs. The Lu family is very rich, and there is basically no need to solve it in the village, such as eggs, the Lu family's kitchen naturally has it, but it is Liu's mother who is in charge of the kitchen, Ye Xiaoyu doesn't want to deal with her on the one hand, on the other hand, she also has some change on hand now, she doesn't want to rely on the Lu family for everything.
Most of the people in the village have poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese at home, and eggs are naturally self-sufficient, so it is not easy to find an egg seller in the village shop.
Ye Xiaoyu even asked several small shops, but they all said that there were no eggs. Just when Ye Xiaoyu was disappointed, the last shopkeeper who sold flour probably saw that she really needed it, so he said that although he didn't sell it in the store, he had some hens at home, and he had just laid some eggs today, so he could sell some to her.
Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly became happy, and hurriedly thanked her. The shopkeeper went to the back room and took twenty eggs for Ye Xiaoyu, which were not big, but they looked good, not like the kind of grass eggs that were specially raised and sold.
The shopkeeper is also a farmer, but he opened a small shop to subsidize his family during the slack season, and he has never sold eggs, and he doesn't know how much Ye Xiaoyu should be counted. Seeing the hesitant look of the shopkeeper, Ye Xiaoyu bought a big bag of flour and a bag of sugar from him by the way, although the staple food of this time and space is also rice, but this is a purely artificial farming era, and I don't want the mechanical modernization like in the previous life, after a year of hard work, there is not a lot of grain that can be harvested, and most people in Quanxiu Village will sell rice after the autumn harvest, and the rest of the family is even less pitiful, and the price of flour is much lower than rice, many times, the villagers use flour, sweet potatoes and the like instead of rice, Otherwise, how can the remaining little rice be eaten until the end of the year.
In this way, the shopkeeper is much easier to calculate, a large bag of flour is three cents, a bag of sugar is five cents, plus twenty eggs, he estimated, a total of twelve cents from Ye Xiaoyu. Ye Xiaoyu took out her pocket, handed twelve Wen to the shopkeeper, and left with the paper bag.
Now Ye Xiaoyu has okay on hand, when he went back to the capital, he sold some money with a handkerchief, plus what he had saved before, a total of more than 100 yuan, and the shopkeeper Liu paid himself five taels of silver in advance, of course, these five taels are silver tickets, he can't really take five taels of silver to Ye Xiaoyu, it is very unsafe to walk a long way with cash on his body. Ye Xiaoyu hid the five taels of silver tickets, anyway, he can't use them now, and when he wants to use them, he will have time to go to the capital money village to redeem them. Her current expenses are enough to spend a little from the more than 100 texts.
Carrying eggs, flour and a bag of sugar, Ye Xiaoyu returned to Nanyuan from the side door. Hong'er had already finished making lunch, and when she saw that Ye Xiaoyu was carrying so many things in her hand, she was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, seeing that it was eggs and flour, and looked at Ye Xiaoyu with an unknown expression.
Although the kitchen of the Lu family no longer cooks uniformly, and Ye Xiaoyu and her food and vegetables are often deducted, there is still rice, and there is no need to go to the village to buy flour to replace it, because in Hong'er's impression, flour is not a good thing, except for making flatbread, only people who are more poor at home will buy such a big bag to replace rice.
Seeing Hong'er's questioning look, Ye Xiaoyu didn't bother to explain, she planned to wait until she was done, and then give her a surprise, what she was going to do in the afternoon, relying on explanation alone, Hong'er had no way to understand, because she planned to make a small cake.
