Zhou Zhi rummaged and looked in this store, picked and picked up, tossing back and forth for almost two hours, and it was already past noon at this time, and the guy Xiaoqi was cold and hungry. At this time, listening to Zhou Zhi finally asked the price, he couldn't help but secretly say, my master, you have finally been chosen, and you should leave.

Xiao Qi didn't look at Zhou Zhi, so he waved his hand generously and said, "Don't want money, just take it!" ”

In his mind, these piles of old papers should have been thrown away a long time ago, but they were too dirty and messy underneath to clean up. As long as Zhou Zhi wants to leave, he says that he will give Zhou Zhi a copy, or give Zhou Zhi a few more copies, and he will be willing.

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How can you not need money?" No matter how you say this, it's also sold for money, I'll give you fifty yuan! ”

In fact, Zhou Zhi didn't understand the thoughts of his guy Xiaoqi, what he gave away for nothing, he said that he would give him fifty yuan, that is, he would give him a penny, and he was very happy. But this is the real thing after all, and it is not safe to spend a little money.

This "Thirteen Treks of Lanting" is a priceless treasure in later generations, not to mention, it is at this time that the Ming Dynasty, let those who know how to see it, even tens of thousands of taels of silver It is estimated that someone will want it!

Zhou Zhi has always wondered how such a small Sibao Zhai in the countryside has such a treasure, and no one has found this treasure after it has been stored for so long.

Speaking of which, although this Gaochang town is prosperous, it is closed. After all, there are fewer people who read here, and even fewer people who know the goods.

Zhou Zhi remembered that there were many treasure hunters in later generations, who often went to the mountains to hunt for treasures in those isolated and backward places, and could buy very valuable things from the hands of ordinary people who had little knowledge of the world without much money.

"Fifty wen?" Guy Xiao Qiyi opened his mouth for a while, and he couldn't close it for a long time. Even those intact and exquisite calligraphy on the shelves can't be sold for fifty yuan, and this poor boy will give fifty yuan at once.

Fool, what a fool this guy is.

But at the moment, I glanced at Zhou Zhi's shabby clothes, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and said secretly, he was eighty percent teasing me, how could a poor peasant like him bring fifty yuan? Fifty dollars is enough to buy three catties of good pork!

Just as the guy Xiao Qi was thinking wildly, Zhou Zhi had already taken out a handful of copper coins from the cloth bag he was carrying, counted enough fifty wen and handed it to him.

When the guy Xiaoqi saw the silver money at this time, he no longer thought about it, he was busy with a smile on his face and reached out to take it, and put it in his arms without counting it. Naturally, he wanted to be greedy for ink and put it in his pocket. Because the shopkeeper would not have thought that someone would pay to buy the tattered goods of the old paper pile.

When Zhou Zhi took out the small cloth bag, the guy Xiao Qi saw it clearly, the cloth bag was heavy, and there were a lot of silver coins. At this time, his attitude towards Zhou Zhi immediately changed dramatically, smiling flatteringly, rejoicing from the heart outward, and even more impressed with Zhou Zhi.

This guy Xiao Qi is also very good at summarizing: It seems that people with money and no money can't just look good from the way they dress.

"What else do you want to buy, little brother?" Xiao Qi asked with a smile. He was suddenly enthusiastic many times.

"Well, naturally I want to buy some, how do you sell those red papers?" Zhou Zhi had already noticed a lot of red paper piled up in the corner of the store, so he asked.

"Red paper, three pieces of money."

"You go and count how many there are, I want them all!" Zhou Zhi said magnificently.

Guy Xiaoqi couldn't help but grin again, this pile of red paper is no less than two thousand, this has to be counted one by one, I don't know what year and month it will be counted. But he had already changed his opinion of Zhou Zhi at this time, as if he had a very high opinion of Zhou Zhi, and he had just gotten Zhou Zhi's fifty yuan, so he had to go over and count it quickly.

These red papers are three feet square, which family will come to buy a few when there is a happy event, and the guy can't help but get annoyed after counting for a while, so he simply goes to the counter to check the accounts.

Although the books are thick, they are much faster than they can be counted. I checked how many tickets came in and how many were sold. After such a rough calculation, he said, "A total of 2,300 sheets, the little brother wants more, just press 2,100 sheets, and the little brother can pay 700 yuan." ”

It's not a valuable thing anyway, and he can make decisions about such a trivial matter.

Zhou Zhi then selected two large and two small brushes, which were naturally ordinary brushes made of green bamboo tube wool, and bought another piece of ink, so that he paid the guy a total of 1,120 yuan.

After finally buying all the things, Zhou Zhi put the thick stack of red paper on the small cart, left the Sibaozhai store, and still walked along this commercial street.

Guy Xiaoqi stood at the door of the shop and stared at Zhou Zhi's slightly thin back, wondering. What do you do with that red paper? The person I met today is very strange, it's really inexplicable.

The sun was already in the west, and Zhou Zhi felt hungry at this time. I hurriedly bought a few baked cakes to eat, bought some for my family, and then went to the cloth shop to buy a few feet of the popular green cloth and flower cloth, and then went home.

As soon as he entered the hospital, the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng saw the pork and baked cakes on the small cart at a glance, and immediately jumped over happily, and said excitedly, "My brother bought pork, and there are baked cakes, a lot of meat and baked cakes!" ”

Speaking of which, the younger brother didn't know how many years he hadn't eaten baked cakes, so Zhou Zhi hurriedly took out one from the paper bag and handed it to him, saying, "Xiaocheng eat, there is still heat!" ”

Zhou Zhi walked fast all the way, and at this time, the baked cake was really still a little warm, Zhou Shaocheng's little hand took it, and he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhou He heard Zhou Shaocheng shouting outside, and when he learned that Zhou Zhi was back, he walked out of the house. At a glance, he saw a lot of red paper on the cart, and asked curiously, "What did Xiao Zhi buy these red papers for?" ”

"Huh! Mother, isn't Xiaozhi able to write? I plan to write some Spring Festival couplets on these days, and go to the town to sell them at the end of the year. Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

Writing Spring Festival couplets and selling Spring Festival couplets was actually something that Zhou Zhi had already thought about. Since the Ming Dynasty beat Emperor Zhu, it has been popular to post Spring Festival couplets during the New Year.

There are not many literate people among the people, and those who can write Spring Festival couplets are naturally rare, and there are very few. During the Chinese New Year, most of the Spring Festival couplets posted by the people were bought on red paper in advance and written by people such as Yang Xiucai or Tong Sheng.

Asking for help has not been so comfortable since ancient times. Besides, it is a scholar who asks for it, which inevitably has to bring some gifts, so that a pair of Spring Festival couplets for the New Year actually costs a lot of money.

And although those talents or children can write Spring Festival couplets, they all have a poor and sour energy, and they will never surrender their identities and write Spring Festival couplets in advance to set up stalls to sell.

Zhou Zhi saw this business opportunity.

Although you won't make a lot of money, you can at least make some money, and the most important thing is that you can practice calligraphy by the way.
