Chapter 44: The Trolley

"I can't sell it......"

Dongfang Weiming, Nie Yunzhu sat on the steps in front of the small building, holding his chin and saying with some distress.

"A few days ago, as Ning Gongzi said, I went to the stewards of several restaurants nearby, but they said that no one had eaten this before, and it was too expensive to sell, so I didn't put it on their counter."

In this year, after all, the productivity is insufficient, and foods such as rice, flour, and grains belong to the concept of hunger, and the price is cheaper, and meat and eggs are sold a little expensive, according to the proportion, if a pancake of two cents can be regarded as one yuan, a salted egg of ten cents is five yuan, and Songhua eggs are sold for twenty yuan under Ning Yi's suggestion, which is close to the meaning of luxury. In this era when well-off families only occasionally eat meat and eggs, this kind of thing is naturally difficult to sell.

Of course, there are still a lot of rich people in Jiangning, and in terms of Qinglou, the more popular girls enter the door three times - that is, three taels of silver and three thousand Wen - singing, dancing, playing and singing three times, and going to bed three times, that is, a total of nine times at a time, and 4,500 yuan a time. No matter how high the price of the girl who sells her body, it is an extreme exception, if she does not sell herself, such as Yuan Jin'er, Lu Caicai, Qilan, Nie Yunzhu and others in the past, it will be even higher, this is not limited, but a large group of people are waiting to throw money, if you are stingy, you don't have to enter the door, and if you are stingy when you enter the door, you will naturally not bird you next time. Just like Su Tan'er's group of brothers every time they take a few dozen taels of silver from her, it is already a huge amount of money in ordinary people's homes, but if you really want to be full of magnanimity and call a group of fox friends and dog friends, it is a matter of one or two times.

People who are willing to spend 9,000 yuan to find a girl may not be willing to eat 20 yuan of Songhua eggs at a roadside stall, but at least it proves that this purchasing power is still available in Jiangning.

If you want to sell it for 20 yuan, you have to find some nearby more upscale places, famous teahouses and restaurants, and ask them to help consign. But this is a new thing after all, you say that I sell an egg for twenty yuan, help, people are not charitable, Nie Yunzhu used to have all kinds of talents, and he was beautiful and a talented woman, but these skills naturally couldn't be used to talk about business at a glance, and the consignment of salted eggs for twenty yuan was not negotiated. There were two restaurant managers who didn't talk to her much at all, and there was also one who came out to sell pancakes when she saw that she was beautiful, and wanted to do something, so she walked away.

This is naturally a blow to Nie Yunzhu, who is bent on getting rid of his previous identity and working hard to make money like an ordinary person. However, she is also tough, if such a thing happens to ordinary people, I am afraid that they will consider no longer selling preserved eggs, but she can't see such a plan here. Ning Yi was sweating profusely all the way at this time, playing with a copper plate in his hand, and then smiled: "Speaking of which, I made a bet with someone recently, saying that this Songhua egg can be bought in a month." ”

"Buy?"

"Well, I have to sell at least twenty or thirty a day."

“…… Belch. Nie Yunzhu thought for a moment, and then laughed, "I'll try to sell thirty, actually...... Maybe you can put a batch in Jinfeng Building......"

Nie Yunzhu obviously hesitated for a while before saying this, what she was thinking about at this time was obviously different from what Ning Yi was thinking. In her opinion, Ning Yi has a good personality and is a maverick and humorous talent, but he has nothing to do with business. He has now invented this pine flower egg, and asked himself to help sell it, perhaps to boast to others, this is also human nature, he can't sell so much, he has to lose face. If it weren't for the fact that there was really nothing she could do, she probably wouldn't have thought about Jinfeng Lou again. Although the mother in the building said that she abided by the contract and didn't force her to do anything, it may not be said that she is a good person, and it is not good to repay the favor, but in any case, using such a relationship is probably the only way she can think of at this time.

Ning Yi was slightly stunned when he heard her talk about Jin Fenglou, and then he understood: "There is no need for this. He shook his head, then pointed to the shed where the cart was parked, "Let's close the stall early at noon today, pack the cart, it's too simple now, and it won't sell for twenty cents." ”

"Packaging?"

"Uh...... It's just a casual decoration. ”

Nie Yunzhu nodded, showing his understanding with a puzzled look......

After school at noon, Ning Yi went to the market to eat, and then bought all kinds of paints, brushes, and brushes to Nie Yunzhu's side, and Nie Yunzhu knew what he was going to do. In the afternoon, after washing the car, Ning Yi made a simple composition with chalk, and after thinking about it for a while, he moved a low stool and sat down to start writing. ,

Nie Yunzhu couldn't help at this time, but occasionally squatted next to him for a while, and when he returned to the room and saw Hu Tao, Hu Tao said, "Ning Gongzi wants to paint on the car to sell Songhua eggs?" ”

"I think so."

"But can paint paint well......

"A lot of lacquerware, isn't it also painted with lacquer, Ning Gongzi...... I want to come here and get involved......"

Nie Yunzhu is actually slightly worried, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are elegant learning, Ning Yi's painting is another matter, but his current reputation, painting on this kind of small cart is just to sell the pine flower eggs, if it is known, I am afraid that he will be criticized again, the better he paints, the greater the risk.

On the other hand, Hu Tao's mood is actually not good, and she has been worried about Miss lately. Ever since Yuan Xi confirmed that Ning Yi, who was in contact with the young lady, was the number one talent, and that he was really talented, her worries were increasing day by day. As far as she is concerned, of course, she also wants to marry Erniu as soon as possible, but the young lady has no home, so she is not at ease at all. Now the young lady seems to have a good impression of this person, but what is this thing, as the young lady said: you can't get married.

The other party's identity is a son-in-law, Miss likes him, and there will be no result at all, the higher the talent, the deeper the Miss is afraid, but she can't like others, the Su family is in a big situation, if the other party's wife knows about it and comes to the door, what can I do here, thinking about it like this, I am more and more anxious.

Halfway through, Ning Yi also called Nie Yunzhu out of Lu once, and asked her whether this stall should be called "Nie Ji" or "Zhuji", Nie Yunzhu thought about it and chose Zhuji.

In the evening, the sunset shone from the side of the bend of the Qinhuai River, and the decoration of the car was finally completed. When Nie Yunzhu looked at it in the past, she was a little dumbfounded: she had never seen the style of this painting!

It's not that the painting is too bad, it's that the painting is too good and too bizarre. The composition of the painting on the car is three-dimensional.

In these years, with paint, it is natural that there can be a variety of lacquer pattern styles, delicate or rough, but the small car in front of you is absolutely unique in the entire era. The picture is actually simple, but a few bamboos symbolize a corner of the bamboo forest after the rain, hidden in a fog, and the scene of a preserved egg being cut open with four petals drawn on one side is not very lifelike. The words "Zhuji Songhua Egg" float on the picture - however, the picture is three-dimensional.

For Ning Yi, it is just a simple technique, controlling the imbalance of the proportions of each part of the picture to achieve the effect of the bamboo forest inserting into the field of vision, the five words "Bamboo Tree Flower Egg" with the floating shadow, there is an effect of falling or floating in the fog, but the preserved egg is unsatisfactory, and it can't match a very beautiful and appropriate color for a while, so it can only make it look as beautiful as possible. Since the paint mix will appear blurry, Ning Yi carefully added clear black lines to the edges of different patterns, which creates a more obvious conflict and three-dimensionality. If this car is pushed out, it will definitely attract the attention of passers-by for the first time. Moreover, it is different from mainstream paintings, others will only think that it is a small way that a businessman came up with, but will not think that it is a picture scroll carefully drawn by a certain genius.

The conditions are limited, but looking at the surprised look on the other party's face, in general, Ning Yi is still satisfied with the results. Probably remembering Ning Yi's strange taste for music, Nie Yunzhu said: "Liheng is so good about painting...... Uh, it's so strange, this style has never been seen before, but it's like it's about to grow out of the wall of a car......"

If you take a realistic style for such a thing, the impact at first glance is simple. This is not the same as the taste of music. Nie Yunzhu almost wanted to reach out and touch the pillar, but Ning Yi stopped her with a smile, and then pointed to the canopy above.

"The paint is not dry, so you can't touch it. It's time for the awning on it to be changed, and I'll buy it tomorrow. The paint hasn't dried these days, and you can't do business, eh...... We need to prepare some things, beautiful little dishes, all kinds of sauces, vinegar, tofu, there are various ways to eat, it looks clean and beautiful, well, this is the first step......" Ning Yi calculated, "After these things are done, let's solve the stubborn problems of those restaurants......"

In the afternoons of the next few days, things were done step by step, beautiful dishes, various sauces were purchased, and various ways to eat them. Ning Yi came over every afternoon, Nie Yunzhu also seemed happy, but Hu Tao was not happy, and complained to Miss in the evening: "Miss, the ...... that can't be worth purchasing those things at all", Ning Yi chooses very beautiful dishes, in the eyes of ordinary people, the practicality is not great, and the price is also expensive, although half of these things are paid by Ning Yi, saying that they are counted as shares, but in Hu Tao's view, it is meaningless. There is not much money in the family, so if you save a little money, Miss can still use it for a long time, but now it is like this, it is simply that Ning Yi is spending money indiscriminately, and Miss is unwilling to refuse, so she can only follow, when the time comes, Ning Gongzi doesn't care about wasting money, what can Miss do, won't she spend her most net worth.

"If you want Hu Tao to say, that Ning Gongzi must be very talented, there is nothing to say. But he may not know how to do business, let's just set up a small stall, how can there be so many exquisite, miss, you can't accompany him to mess around! We can't afford to mess around......"

"Ning Gongzi is a person with real talents, since he is so confident, I naturally believe in him, before he reaches the end, how do you know that he has no way?" In fact, Nie Yunzhu didn't have any bottom in his heart, but naturally he could only say this to Hu Tao.

"Do you see more talented people?" Hu Tao retorted, "Talent is learning, business is business, those who have talent and learning are not also gambling money, and they are penniless at the end." Although Hu Tao doesn't understand, he has seen a lot, so many stalls on the street are all like this, those big restaurants, or green buildings, are not the same at all. Miss, Na Ning Gongzi entered the family of the businessman, and heard that his wife was very good at managing things in the Su family, maybe he just couldn't swallow this breath, and used Miss as a test ......"

"Shut up!" Nie Yunzhu's eyes froze, interrupting her speech.

Hu Tao stood there and pursed his lips for a long time, tears rolled down from his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth, choked up and said: "Miss, you also know the truth, you can't marry Ning Gongzi, if Miss can marry, then Hu Tao won't talk about it......"

After saying this, there was no sound in the room for a long time, Nie Yunzhu sat on the edge of the bed, leaning on the bed frame next to her, her eyes changed occasionally, and after a long time, the light and shadow swayed, and she closed her eyes hard: "I know the ...... of the Dao" When she opened it again, she smiled slightly.

"Hu Tao, you go to sleep too, it's not too early......"
