Seven days later, all of Mei Yuexue's works have been completed. Two fans, two folding fans, and two umbrellas without tung oil. The fans are all flowers and birds, the folding fans are all landscapes, one umbrella is the elegant style of the Jiangnan landscape, and the other umbrella is red plum. Calligraphy, painting, and printing, Lin Yi sighed after seeing it: "Even if this is in Beijing, it will be expensive!" ”

Xiao Wei guarded these things like a baby, and did not allow the brothers to touch them, so they put them away properly. To tell the truth, Xiao Wei is really reluctant to give these things to others, he paints them too exquisitely, she is a woman, and she must admit defeat in front of the careful and delicate Mei Yuexue.

"I don't know how much effort it took to make his eyes dark, I must tell the owner of the fan shop to set the price higher." Xiao Wei thought to herself.

These days, she also discussed the matter of pickles with Lao Bai, and Lao Bai felt that this thing was feasible, because Lao Bai also had the idea of doing business, but he was embarrassed to mention it, after all, they used to be bandits, cynical, and doing such a fair trade as trading, and they would be laughed at when they said it. But now the owners of Dazhai are leading the way, everyone has nothing to do, so they will pick up this matter, they will get together to talk about how to divide labor in the future, how to make money, and what to do after earning money.

Everyone has different settings for the future, but there is only one purpose, they all want to live in peace.

Xiao Wei also hopes to live a peaceful and stable life, as long as he can earn money, these wishes will soon come true.

Seeing that the goods were ready, the night before leaving, Mei Yuexue took the initiative to call Xiao Wei, the monkey and Lao Bai, and planned to discuss the matters to be agreed with the merchants, Mei Yuexue recorded them one by one, and handed them to Xiao Wei after writing, lest she forget.

"Okay, the matter of running errands and grinding on cloudy days will be handed over to us, and the second village master will go with me, and it will be negotiated."

"Waiting for your good news." Mei Yuexue smiled at her.

In the early morning of the next day, Lao Bai, Monkey and Xiao Wei and a few brothers who went out to buy together had dinner early and set off, and entered the county seat, Xiao Wei and Monkey went to the fan shop first and met the owner of the fan shop. This is the largest fan shop in the county, called "Si Shi Chun", and the owner's surname is Chang. His subordinates have the most famous painters and embroiderers within a radius of 100 miles, all of whom are craftsmen who work very fast, although the finished product is good, the speed is fast enough, but most of the patterns are rigid and monotonous, and there is not much change in painting and painting, full of craftsmanship. The shop has a fan and umbrella business, and the umbrella business is available all year round. There is a lot of business in spring and summer, and in autumn and winter, the embroidery girls will take the fan and embroider it slowly at home, and then wait until the summer to sell.

The painter took a part of the fans, which are thick silk, thin silk and colored silk fans, if you use the method of painting, it is not easy to color, and the embroidery with silk thread is brightly colored, and it is more favored by the girls, so most of the fans have to rely on embroidery. But even if you want to embroider, you must first have a novel pattern.

Si Shichun is a century-old shop, fans and umbrellas from production to sale are all done by themselves, Boss Chang is free to follow his father to learn to make fans, make umbrellas, from the selection of raw materials to drawing, he has done it himself, Xiao Wei came out last time originally did not plan to play Mei Yuexue's idea, but when shopping, I happened to meet Boss Chang hanging at the door of the sign recruiting painters, she saw that the fans in the store were exquisite and beautiful, so she came in to see, by the way, I met the boss, and talked about recruiting painters. It turned out that there was no shortage of masters who could paint here, but the few remaining famous and learned painters were either old or wealthy, and they originally learned to paint for recreation, if they were to paint like painters for decades without stopping, one literati felt that they had lost their identity, and the other was too hard, so it was really not necessary, so he had not been able to find a suitable painter. Xiao Wei just bought the fan that had not yet been painted from the boss at a low price with the mentality of trying, but she didn't expect Mei Yuexue to be so attentive to this matter.

She entered the store, and the guy didn't recognize it at once, because she had reinstated her daughter's outfit this time. Xiao Wei explained to him generously, and the guy reacted at this time, remembering that she was a guest who had come to introduce the painter to the boss last time, so he was very polite, and took her into a tea room in the backyard to make tea, and then went to invite the boss of the owner.

Boss Chang is a middle-aged man, not tall but energetic, but he is a fine yin but does not have a heavy copper smell, but has a bit of a steady bookish anger. Xiao Wei was also a person who read countless people in his previous life, and a businessman like Yin Bai was a big dealer, the last time they met in a hurry, this time she specially cleaned herself up a little neatly, and Boss Chang was stunned for a moment when he saw her, and quickly reacted and smiled: "This time I want to honor Miss Xiao." ”

Xiao Wei smiled and handed over the box and package in his hand to Boss Chang, who opened the box and was shocked again.

He was originally sitting on the chair with a smile, but when he saw the painting on the fan, the smile on his face froze, and he slowly stood up. He held the fan and first straightened his arm and squinted his eyes slightly to look at it from afar, and then pulled his arm closer to see it closely, carefully studied it for a long time, and couldn't wait to take out the remaining fans and umbrellas in the same way, whether it was a flower or an inscription or a seal, it was a must, and it was natural, and it was very appropriate to combine together.

"Mei Yue Xue Yin, Mei Yue Xue? How have I never heard of this person. Boss Chang asked curiously, Xiao Wei intended to raise Mei Yuexue's identity, and said with a faint smile: "My son-in-law lives in seclusion all the year round, studying painting, and people outside naturally have never heard of his name." ”

Boss Chang smiled: "Okay, good, Mei Gongzi's painting is really a god!" Miss Xiao, I have always been cheerful, I want to ask you first, girl, how much does Mei Gongzi value his works? ”

Xiao Wei said: "My son-in-law said that Boss Chang understands the market better than him, and I have to ask Boss Chang to talk about this matter first." ”

"Good!" Boss Chang took a list from the bookshelf on the side and said: "Girl, please see, this is the most expensive painter in the store now, Mei Gongzi's painting is extraordinary, I want to ask Mei Gongzi to paint two different uses of the fan, the first is for daily use, this kind of fan is ten times more than each kind of runge on the basis of this list, and there is also a kind of collection and gifts, this kind of fan needs to be customized, and the specific price should be determined according to the seller's requirements, but each will not be less than ten taels, and the highest may be sold for dozens of taels, of course, I guarantee that Mei Gongzi can get at least 300 taels of silver from here every year, and he can draw ten fans and five umbrellas every month. ”

"In a small business like a fan, we can still earn three hundred taels in a year? Ten times more than Mei Yuexue's Runge, how much does the finished product have to sell! I don't know if I can sell it or not, although their business is good, but last night's appraisal was not so much, I didn't expect this Mei Yuexue to be so valuable! Although Xiao Wei was surprised that the other party estimated a lot, he still replied with a calm expression on the surface: "Yes, that's exactly what Childe meant." Boss Chang is a person with vision, and your future wealth is limitless. ”

Boss Chang smiled: "I borrowed the girl's auspicious words." But I still have a request, I want Mei Gongzi to be within three years, not to do any painting and calligraphy transactions with a third party, all of Mei Gongzi's handwriting, no one is allowed to appear in other people's stores, except for fan umbrellas, as long as Mei Gongzi is willing, the works of large and small strips and screens can be hung in the store for sale, and the price can be negotiated again. ”

Xiao Wei said with a smile: "I chose your store to do business, and I also fancy your signboard, otherwise our son would not want to sell his own calligraphy and paintings." Our son-in-law doesn't care about the amount of money, he just wants to find a group of people in this world. ”

Boss Chang said: "Girl, don't worry, although I, Chang, am an ordinary man, I will never let Mei Gongzi's talent be secretly cast." ”

Then the two sides talked about specific matters, on the first day of each month, they came to receive the fan umbrella, and listed the types of paintings needed, and the boss Chang paid off the first month's deposit in order to show his sincerity, together with the fan and umbrella that Xiao Wei brought this time, Boss Chang set up twenty taels each, he told Xiao Wei that the finished product brought by Mei Yuexue this time was too good, it was enough as a collectible boutique, and he didn't have to work so hard in the future, he only needed three or two strokes, it was enough to shock the world.

In short, after the two sides agreed on all the details, black and white, signed and painted, how to trade in the future is already clear, and finally the boss Chang took out some samples of painters collected in the store, which have been bound into a book, and sent them to Mei Yuexue for reference, he said: "After all, doing business is different from painting as you like, these themes and models are the most popular styles in the past years, give them to Mei Gongzi, ask him to make a reference." I don't believe in Mei Gongzi's meaning, and I don't dare to look down on it, but this turbid world can't compare to his fairyland outside the world, here are the rules of survival here, and I hope the girl will convey it clearly, and I sincerely appreciate Mei Gongzi's paintings. ”

Xiao Wei hurriedly stretched out his hand and took it and said: "Although my son-in-law is a secluded person, he is not a pedantic literati, he is all white, otherwise he would not want to come to business." ”

Boss Chang was finally relieved when he heard this, he smiled, seeing that noon had arrived, and he wanted to leave them to go back to Yanju for dinner, Xiao Wei excused himself and said that there were still many friends with him, so it was inconvenient to stay here, so he thanked Boss Chang for his kindness and left.

As soon as he came out of the store, the monkey couldn't wait to take the money bag in Xiao Wei's hand, and stuffed a heavy bag of fans and umbrellas into Xiao Wei's hands without pity, holding the silver of the white flowers, and biting it with his teeth next to one ingot in disbelief, more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver, Xiao Wei was so angry that he couldn't help but scold: "People are such a big store, as for deceiving you with fake silver, hey, don't stain all the silver with your saliva, it's really disgusting!" ”

But the monkey laughed and said, "You are disgusting? Then don't spend it, I'll spend it for you! ”

Xiao Wei said: "That's the owner of the big village!" ”

The monkey didn't care: "The owner of the village said that everyone uses it together!" ”

Xiao Wei said: "If you want flowers, give him flowers first, he has been painting so hard for seven days, I have to buy him some delicious supplements." ”

"Huh? Why did you suddenly care so much about him, weren't you incompatible before? The monkey had already expected a few points in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Xiao Wei hugged his shoulders as he walked and said: "That was before, now I am also a person in the village, and he is the owner of the village, of course he will be treated differently!" What's more, he is so capable, a fan is actually bought at such a high price, he is the treasure in our village, so it is not optimistic! "She seemed to be speaking to the monkeys, and it was like saying it to herself.

The monkey smiled: "Is it the treasure of the stockade, or your treasure?" ”

Xiao Wei's face was hot, and he reached out to hit him, shouting: "Of course it's the treasure of the village!" ”

The monkey smiled and dodged: "Oh, I'm kidding, what are you in a hurry, this is not like your character!" ”

Xiao Wei angrily threw the thing to the ground and said angrily: "I'm tired, I can't lift it, you lift it!" With that, he reached out and snatched the money bag from the monkey's hand, and walked away with a snort.

The monkey was not angry, but happily picked up the fan and umbrella wrapped on the ground, and sang as he walked: "The peach leaves are sharp, and the willow leaves hide the ......."
