Chapter 23: Wonderful

The next day, the weather was sunny and the spring breeze was gentle.

The afternoon sun shines on the earth with a deep warmth. The plum blossom mountain in the distance is dressed in a new green dress. Dotted with wildflowers, like the beating notes in a sea of songs, the finishing touch on the canvas. Everything seems to be in high spirits and thriving.

Liu Yong also put on new clothes, a gray and white striped robe, and the headscarf wrapped around his head was also striped, which was the leftover material for this robe. He happened to make a headscarf to use.

Ying Ying giggled when she saw Liu Yong's appearance for the first time. Liu Yong asked Yingying to stand farther away with the bronze mirror, so that he could see the effect. How can Yingying smile forward and backward, and she can't hold it steadily at all. Helplessly, he had no choice but to put the bronze mirror on the windowsill and shine it from afar.

Suddenly, a handsome young Arab jumped into the mirror.

Liu Yong took pictures back and forth, left and right, and finally nodded with satisfaction. Yingying still laughed non-stop, and said with a smile that her little belly hurts. Liu Yong said: "You deserve it, who made you laugh at your uncle." ”

Ying Ying giggled and laughed, "Uncle, your robe is really fun." ”

"Don't laugh." Liu Yong gently pinched Yingying's chubby face, "Uncle has something more fun." Go with your uncle and get it. ”

Yingying's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Liu Yong's hand and was about to leave.

"Hey, Yingying, don't worry? I'll wait until my uncle has changed his clothes. Liu Yong said.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this my uncle's new clothes? Isn't it good to dress? Yingying smiled mysteriously, like an adult.

Liu Yong pointed his finger at Yingying and said, "Okay, you want your uncle to go outside to make a fool of yourself, don't you?" Yes? After saying that, he reached out and scratched Yingying's armpits. Yingying, who laughed, begged for mercy repeatedly.

……

The cattle carpenter has already finished the cart that Liu Yong wanted. More than one person is tall, and there are four wooden swords. Below is a carriage, which is divided into three levels, each of which resembles a herringbone roof, and is divided into one after another for the storage of goods. On the top of the top was a shed to shelter from the rain, and the carpenter gave it an oilcloth.

The whole car was painted bright pink according to Liu Yong's meaning, which was very eye-catching. When Yingying saw this bright and strange cart for the first time, she screamed.

"The guest officer is satisfied. It took me an hour to blend this color with vermilion lacquer and white lacquer powder. The carpenter's voice was still cold.

Liu Yong said that he was satisfied while looking at it, and sighed in his heart at the craftsmanship and efficiency of the carpenter.

Under the roof of the shed on one side of the trolley, according to Liu Yong's intention, a thin wooden board was deliberately horizontal, which was painted with black lacquer, which was used for signboards. Liu Yong asked the carpenter for some white lacquer powder by the way, and according to the Arabic characters in his impression, he randomly wrote words on the only black wooden board that he did not recognize.

The last stroke fell, and this is an Arabian carmine powder monopoly cart. From the next day, there was a handsome young Arab on the bustling Meihua Street, pushing a pink cart and selling rouge gouache at the east entrance of Meihua Street. The reason why I chose this place is not only because it is a crossroads, but also because it is a must for most people in the city to enter Plum Street. It's not like the deserted T-shaped street at the west end of Plum Blossom Street.

When the landlord of the inn knew that Liu Yong was going to sell rouge gouache, he persuaded Liu Yong to give up, because it was too embarrassing for a man.

"If you want face or money, Xiao Ke knows it." Liu Yong only said this sentence to the old man, and the old man was speechless. After Liu Yong left, the old man started talking with the young man.

"Hmph, a big man sells these women's rouge gouache, who is going to buy it?" The young man was very unresponsive to Liu Yong's behavior.

"I told him, but people didn't listen, and they said that cheekiness is important or money is important. I think he's asking for money and shamelessness! "The landlord said a little too much. But the young man didn't think it was too much, and said, "No, you have to wait and see!" I guess, he didn't say anything about losing people, and he didn't make a penny. He thought it was so easy to do business. If it was easy to do, I would do it. ”

The landlord laughed.

"Old shopkeeper, just wait and see him laugh. He must have gotten there and how he came back, guaranteeing that even a box of rouge would not sell. After the young man finished speaking, he squinted at the gate of the courtyard and let out a few gloating sneers.

In fact, Liu Yong also knows that he is shy and embarrassed, but how can he do business without being thick-skinned? This is also the minimum requirement for a businessman. How do you meet customers with thin skin? How to advertise it on the street? How do you hold back a hesitant customer?

However, Liu Yong knows one thing, that is: thick skin does not mean shameless. Being thick-skinned is to sell goods to make money, not to be cheeky and begging from others.

Liu Yong's first business came quickly, because when Liu Yong pushed the car to the intersection, it attracted onlookers from the neighborhood. The shape of this car and Liu Yong is like a gorgeous flower blooming from a vegetable field. Liu Yong also deliberately stumbled in Chinese to make people mistakenly think that he was really from an Arab youth.

Liu Yong also used paper to write pure Arab imported rouge gouache, and the opening of the big reward, all 20% off, pasted on the carriage. He arranged Yingying in front of a grocery store behind him and bought her candy to eat. But this little guy is not idle when he has something to eat, just gather around Liu Yong to watch the excitement.

At first, the women saw a young man selling rouge gouache, and he was also a handsome foreign youth. I'm embarrassed to come closer. Indeed, Liu Yong's eyes are dark and bright, the bridge of his nose is high, and wearing this set of robes that looks like Arabia really has the effect of being fake.

However, it didn't take long for the first customer to come to the door, a beautiful sister-in-law. At first glance, he was a person who came over, and he was not so shy about men, and seeing that Liu Yong was handsome, he naturally came to patronize it, and by the way, he took a look at the handsome guy.

The sister-in-law sniffed them one by one regardless of it and praised them again and again. From time to time, I don't forget to flatter Liu Yong. Liu Yong doesn't care if she is flattering or not. took the opportunity to let this merry sister-in-law buy more than 100 yuan of rouge gouache at once. This first transaction is very important for the businessman.

Hundreds of years later, modern businessmen also attached great importance to opening a business. If it goes well, it means that the day goes well. If you are the first to meet a guest who grinds his teeth, then come on this day and make sure that a large number of grinders will come to patronize him.

The sister-in-law took the packaged goods and praised the goods loudly, as if she wanted to help Liu Yong. Liu Yong knew what he meant, and couldn't help but smile in return. The women who were watching saw that someone had bought it, and they gathered around one after another. After a while, some big lady, little lady, big girl, little girl, surrounded Liu Yong's pink car.

"Yingying collects money." Liu Yong handed him the money bag he had prepared. Yingying was naturally overjoyed, and just like that day in the market, she watched the tumultuous copper flow into the money bag. Although I didn't have any fun this time, I still made Yingying very happy.

Someone saw that the lively man saw something strange, so he asked, "Hey, why are you a foreigner with a little girl from the Song Dynasty?" ”

"Ah, speaking of which, I'm also half Song. My dad is from Song, and my mom is an Arabian princess. This little kid is my cousin's child. Liu Yong was talking nonsense and bluffing with a blind explanation. Those people believed it.

No one doubts Liu Yong's identity, his business is better, and there is no shortage of some big men who come to patronize and buy some to please their wives or lovers. There are also a few prodigal officials who bought some high-end rouge and went directly to the Qinglou, inevitably showing off in front of their beloved young lady.

Liu Yongjin's goods were announced to be sold out in less than a morning, so he had to say that they would be sold again tomorrow. Some of the ones that I didn't buy were red-eyed. It is no wonder that Liu Yong's goods are good, and they are pure 'foreign goods'. The price is cheaper than that of the 'Pretty in Pink'. It's on this plum blossom street, and it's easy to buy. And it's such a handsome young man of mixed Chinese and foreign descent who is selling.

The selling points of each one aroused the desire of those young girls and young women to buy. But Liu Yong knows how to accept it when he sees it, and this kind of freshness can't be wasted in vain.

Liu Yong pushed the empty cart and Yingying, who was holding a bulging money bag, back to the inn. The young man and the landlord had been sitting at the door of the house for a long time, waiting to see Liu Yong's jokes. Because the young man concluded that Liu Yong would definitely insist on coming back before noon.

"Hey, old shopkeeper, he's back." The young man ran back from the courtyard gate and said to the landlord. The landlord sat still, waiting for the scene that the young man had expected. In order not to let Liu Yong see that he was deliberately waiting for him, the young man pretended to work in the yard.

Liu Yong pushed the cart into the courtyard gate, and Yingying followed behind with a money bag.

When the young man saw Liu Yong coming in, he quickly pretended to sweep the floor, but his eyes kept glancing at the cart pushed by Liu Yong. But to his surprise, the shelves of Liu Yong's pink cart were empty. "Did this guy sell out of the goods? Impossible? It's less than a morning? Impossible, absolutely impossible. ”

Then, Yingying followed Liu Yong into the courtyard with the money bag.

When he saw the money bag in Yingying's arms bulging again, the young man immediately stopped, stretched his neck, and was dumbfounded.

"Hehe, the official is back." The landlord is still very polite, after all, he is his guest. got up and greeted him, but he was also curious that Liu Yong's cart was full of loads, why was it empty when he came back? Even there was not an inch in the carriage.

"How's the official's business today? All right? The old man asked.

Liu Yong smiled, didn't answer the old man's words, and stretched out his hand to Yingying. Yingying understood, and put the heavy money bag in Liu Yong's hand with a smile. Liu Yong tossed a little in his hand, and the weight was very heavy.

The old man looked a little dumbfounded. I don't believe that Liu Yong will sell the whole car in less than a morning, although those goods are not very many, but they are beyond the imagination of the old man. In his prediction, Liu Yong's goods will have to be sold for at least five or seven or six days.

"Official, what? Yours, yours are all sold out? The old man couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yong arched his hand and said with a smile: "Thanks to the old man's blessings, all of them are sold out." Well, of course, there are a few boxes left. ”

When the old landlord heard this, his face immediately froze, and then he laughed again, and a stunned and dry smile appeared on this wrinkled old face around this moment.

And the little fellow, as if he had been petrified, stood motionless with his little dry eyes and wide mouth open for salivation, except for a blushing monkey's ass.
