Chapter 28 Design something to make money
Xia Ziyan knew that there must be no similar pen in this era, so how is charcoal done? Make a few sticks in the easiest way, it is convenient for her to draw or write something, design something, charcoal or something.
As for nowadays, it is even less likely that there will be a modern kind of paintbrush, colored pen.
After thinking about how to do it and what materials, Xia Ziyan roughly said it, and I don't know if he understands it.
If you don't understand, you can't help it, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to use a small brush.
"I'll tell you to go down and ask someone to do it, but, what does Yan'er want to do that?" Ouyang Linxuan found that he really hadn't heard what she said, but he would also ask someone to try it, just curious about her actions.
"I visited several large stores today, which are said to be the most famous and of the best quality in Beijing, and I thought that I might be able to design some things to go to those stores first, sell a few design drawings first, and then I will have the silver to do something else, and it will be more convenient to design patterns with the kind of pen I said." Xia Ziyan said.
Ouyang Linxuan frowned slightly, not quite sure, "Yan'er, what do you mean... What do you want to paint and sell? ”
"Well, such as clothes and shoes, or accessories, I looked at the designs of clothes in various stores today, and I think I can design a few different styles, I think my design will definitely not be worse than what the store sells, and then, I sell a few design drawings to make some money."
"Yeona knows how to design clothes?"
"Well, some, I can design clothes, jewelry."
"Then, how much silver does Yan'er want to sell for a design?"
"Well, I don't know, do you know how much silver they sell for when they design a picture of jewelry?" Xia Ziyan didn't know much about this market, so she couldn't help but ask him.
"Generally, the things sold by each business, the design drawings are designed by the people they have cultivated since childhood, and they are generally selected from the house slaves, of course, there are also those who are found outside and really have some talent, but they will also be attracted to sign contracts in their families to do things, rather than selling them one by one..."
Xia Ziyan frowned, in this way, if she designs it, how much should she charge?
"Why don't you design two for me and sell them to me?" Seeing her frowning, Ouyang Linxuan smiled slightly.
Xia Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then surprised, "You also have a store at home?" What do you sell? ”
"There are also a few shops that sell ready-to-wear clothes. It is property in my father's name. Ouyang Linxuan explained with a smile.
"Do you sell men's or women's clothing?" Xia Ziyan asked.
"Both."
"Then I'll design a few for you for free, don't charge you money, and the food along the way will bring you trouble, just to repay your favor."
"Yan'er, don't be polite to me." For this matter, Ouyang Linxuan disagreed, this was his own volition, it was another woman, and he didn't want a woman to pay all the way, let alone her.
"I'm not polite to you, but I'm not comfortable remembering if I don't return your favor, I don't like to ask for your benefits for nothing." Xia Ziyan looked at him seriously and said, "Besides, the picture I designed later will be sold, and I will bargain for selling it to others, and I will sell it to you, but I will not be able to bargain, I think it is unfair to you if the price is high, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make some pocket money if the price is low." Xia Ziyan smiled slightly and teased him, but it was also straightforward.
Regarding business, she won't talk too much about people now, she is very poor now, and she urgently needs a sum of silver to start a business, and then she has no home, and she can buy a small yard with silver.
She can't stay in that women's school forever.
"In that case, how much silver does Yan'er want to sell someone a blueprint?" Ouyang Linxuan looked at her with a smile and asked.
"Three hundred, five hundred, eight hundred, one thousand taels of price consideration, I will go to a few stores these days to ask, see which of them is willing to buy, and then I will choose the highest price." Xia Ziyan thought for a while.
Ouyang Linxuan smiled slightly, "That... How about Yan'er sell it to me at the middle price? ”
Xia Ziyan looked at him in surprise, "You haven't even looked at what I painted, what if it's not worth five hundred, eight hundred taels?" ”
"Then Yan'er can draw it for me first, and if I still want to buy it, can I sell it to me?" Ouyang Linxuan said with a smile.
Xia Ziyan frowned slightly, thought about it, looked at him again and said, "Okay, you look at my design first, and then I'll draw a few when I have a pen." ”
"Okay."
"By the way, if you buy a yard as big as yours, how much silver will it cost?" Xia Ziyan asked.
"Yan'er wants to buy a yard?" Ouyang Linxuan looked at her, it seemed that she had really made up her mind to earn money to buy a home, "This yard can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized one, better than ordinary people, and the location is relatively good, and it is relatively new, at least two thousand taels of silver." Ouyang Linxuan looked at her seriously and said.
Xia Ziyan propped up the table with her elbows, and her palms supported half of her little face in thought, "Is there anything similar to this yard nearby, it's okay to be smaller, if you buy a yard and ask someone to decorate it, how much silver will it cost?" ”
"Yan'er, why don't I give you a yard." Ouyang Linxuan stared at her and said seriously.
"No, I can buy it with my own money." Xia Ziyan refused, thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's okay to have a little bit back, it's best that the back door of the yard can lead to a field, I can grow some vegetables and fruits or something, and it's not bad to build a pastoral villa." Xia Ziyan thought about it, and felt some anticipation and excitement in her heart.
She can earn a farm by herself.
"How could Yan'er want to build a rural villa instead of a big mansion that everyone likes nowadays?" This really surprised him.
But all women are eager to leave the place where there is farmland and want to buy a big yard in the town.
"Because it's more interesting, this kind of house is not bad, but it's more single, the villa is different, I'm tired of staying at home, I can go out through the side door or back door, if there is a fruit tree in the back, a vegetable field or something, I want to eat fruit or something, I don't have to buy it, I go directly to pick it, it's fresher, I walk around the woods when I'm bored, I can also be a distraction."
"If it is a villa, the area will be larger, although the villa area is some distance from the main street lot can be cheaper, but the area will be much larger, so it will cost about 5,000 taels to buy the smallest villa." Ouyang Linxuan looked at her with a smile and said.
Xia Ziyan frowned, a little deflated, so to speak, her dream of Pastoral Villa has not been realized so quickly, so she can only buy a small yard to live in temporarily, and then she will buy it when she has more money.
Seeing that she was a little discouraged, Ouyang Linxuan was distressed, but he knew that she would not ask him to give it in vain, that is, to lend her silver, I am afraid that she would not want to buy a villa at this time.
"I'd better earn a sum of money and buy a small yard first." As he expected, Xia Ziyan said.
Ouyang Linxuan nodded, but he had a plan in his heart.
"By the way, let's go around tomorrow for a few days, I'll change into women's clothes." Xia Ziyan suddenly thought of today's depressed things and decided to change back into women's clothes.
"Yan'er, why do you suddenly want to change back into women's clothes?" Ouyang Linxuan looked at her, but he didn't want her to change back into women's clothes so quickly, which meant that once she went out, too many people would pay attention to her, which would make her pay attention away from him a lot.
Here in the capital, like him, the conditions are good in all aspects, and there are a lot.
When the time comes, if someone intervenes, what chance does he still have?
"I went to the teahouse to drink tea today, and I went to the toilet when I was in a hurry, I was dressed like this, it was not good to enter the men's toilet, and it was embarrassing to enter the women's toilet, especially when an eldest sister came out of the toilet to talk to us, I think sometimes women are more terrible than men." Xia Ziyan was depressed when she thought about it.
When I came to the capital all the way, almost all the people were outside, there was no store in front of the village, when the crowd stopped, she could find a distance behind the grass or trees to solve the internal emergency, and when she arrived at the inn or something, there was generally a bucket with a lid for a small number in the room, which was to be large, and every time she went to the toilet, Ouyang Linxuan played a cover.
But when she arrived in the capital, if she went shopping alone, she would be embarrassed if no one covered up.
"You guys?" Ouyang Linxuan's eyes crossed with a smile, and he could think of that scene when he listened to her words, but he quickly stopped his attention on her words.
"Well, I met Dr. Chu when I watched the welcoming procession, they arrived a few days earlier than us, I didn't expect to meet acquaintances just after going out shopping, and then when I heard that I was going to go shopping, Dr. Chu's son took us for a walk." Xia Ziyan nodded, and she was very happy to meet acquaintances.
It's just that Ouyang Linxuan saw her excited appearance, but he didn't want to think about whether she would have any good feelings for seeing Dr. Chu's son.
He still didn't ask her what she thought of others, she met that person today, maybe she wouldn't think much about that man in a few days, but now he reminded and asked, but let her think about others, deepening the impression of others in her heart.
But, he understands that there are some things to urge, and he can't drag it out any longer, he is afraid, afraid that in the end he... There was no chance.
"Okay, then tomorrow Yan'er will change back into women's clothes, but, do you want to wear a hat?" Ouyang Linxuan looked at her suggestion and watched her expression change.
"Hats? What hat to wear? Do you sell girls' decorative hats? Xia Ziyan was puzzled.
"There is a kind of face covering, Yan'er has also seen it, and occasionally I will meet women dressed like this when I go shopping on the street." Ouyang Linxuan looked at her, reminded her, and saw if she would immediately refuse after listening to her suggestion.
Xia Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and thought about the hat, which is a bit like the hidden hat of the heroine in the movie, a relatively large hat, with gauze sewn around the brim, and the gauze cloth is somewhat transparent, but it can cover the appearance of the people inside, but a vague outline can be seen.
If she wears a women's skirt and a more elegant skirt, then she really looks like a mysterious woman with such a match.
"Okay, can you lend me a little silver first, and I'll buy a few dresses to change." Xia Ziyan nodded, and then said with some embarrassment, borrowing money from others, and her face couldn't help but get hot.
Always, borrow something from him, or trouble him.
Hearing her agree, Ouyang Linxuan's heart relaxed a little, but, listening to her words, seeing her embarrassed and funny, "Okay, what do you want Yan'er to buy?" I asked someone to buy it. ”
