Chapter 41: She's a Genius
Shen Xiaoyu returned home, Cui Fenglan saw that Shen Xiaoyu was depressed, so she asked, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?" β
"The butterfly lady remarried, and she hasn't taken the butterfly with her yet." Shen Xiaoyu said weakly.
Cui Fenglan looked bitter, and said: "The life in the village is hard, and it is normal to not be able to stand up." "It's just that one person is gone, and he doesn't even care about the children, which is indeed a bit too unusual.
Shen Xiaoyu sighed, ate dinner, and went to bed first.
Early the next morning, Lu Butterfly came to knock on the door, and wanted to go to the city with Shen Xiaoyu to set up a stall, Shen Xiaoyu was still thinking about being lazy for another day, but seeing Lu Butterfly's state, he also packed up and went together.
Along the way, Shen Xiaoyu looked at Lu Butterfly's red and swollen eyes, and it was estimated that she cried again after leaving, her eyes were full of red bloodshots, and she didn't sleep well.
Setting up a stall is still very routine, Shen Xiaoyu has some frozen hands, and he can't do embroidery work, so he puts his hands in his hands and watches the pedestrians coming and going.
Zhao Ruizhu came here today when she was idle and had nothing to do, and Shen Xiaoyu remembered and asked, "Ruizhu, what happened after the last time you reported to the official?" β
Rui Zhu said: "What else can I do, just those rice buckets in the yamen, bully the people, don't expect to do something serious, I heard my father say that the people from the yamen only went to the place where we were locked up the next day, and the people had already run away!" "Who in the city doesn't know what kind of place the yamen is, if there is something, they are all like turtles with shrunken heads!
Shen Xiaoyu is speechless, and the world is really chaotic.
Zhao Ruizhu looked at Lu Butterfly's steamed cake, so she sold a few pieces, and then asked Lu Butterfly: "Your steamed cake is no worse than the pastry of that Dahongyun restaurant!" β
Although Lu Butterfly said that he had no spirit, he still smiled and said: "If you want to eat well, you can buy it again, and next time it will be cheaper for you!" β
Zhao Ruizhu smiled: "It's okay, you are Xiaoyu's friend, that is, my Zhao Ruizhu's friend, let's talk more in the future." After that, he left first.
Shen Xiaoyu looked at it and said: "Her family sells braised pork, the taste is unique, you can also taste it when you have time!" β
Lu Butterfly said: "Well, I have time to taste." But she doesn't have any appetite these days, her mother said that she married to a good family, but she didn't say which one, and then she missed her mother, and she couldn't even find a place.
But if you think about it, what if you find it? I guess I won't see her, and if I see her, I won't recognize her. Her mother is different from her, she was still young when the palace had an accident, she enjoyed the brocade clothes and jade food, but she did not develop a habit, her mother is different, it turned out to be a delicacy of the mountains and seas, and now it is a cornmeal tortilla, it is estimated that no one can stand it.
Shen Xiaoyu looked at Lu Butterfly thoughtfully and didn't bother, fiddling with the hands on the stall, these things are easy to sell in winter.
"This fan is good!" A little girl said.
As soon as Shen Xiaoyu looked up, he saw that it was a mother and daughter, so he beckoned, "Madame, do you buy a fan?" There are many styles of fans in our house, and this one in the young lady's hand is specially used when she gets married. β
The girl looked at it and said, "Is there anything else?" β
"Yes." Shen Xiaoyu said and took out two or three more handfuls from the package, all of which she had drawn.
The lady looked at it, and finally the mother and daughter picked a handful and gave the money and left.
Shen Xiaoyu counted the money in her hand, and her heart was steady, and she said that she was rich and rich, and she didn't have much money, but there was a little copper money in her pocket, which made her feel at ease.
After a while, the little girl who bought the fan just now came back, and Shen Xiaoyu thought that there was something wrong with the fan, but the girl came with a few pieces.
"It's sold by her family!" The little girl said with a smile, and then said to Shen Xiaoyu: "They also want to buy it, do you still have it?" β
"Yes!" Shen Xiaoyu is happy, this is a repeat customer!
I took out all the fans in the package, and I didn't expect the business to be so good today, or I would have brought a few more.
"A few young ladies pick it first, if you have a favorite pattern, we also accept customization, but the price is a little more expensive!" Shen Xiaoyu beckoned.
"Can you still customize? I have a picture here, can you draw it? As she spoke, one of the little girls took out a painting scroll and painted the landscape with great loss.
Shen Xiaoyu saw that it was okay, so he said: "This picture is so big, it also needs to be painted on the fan?" β
"It's so big, and the screen is pretty much the same." The little girl said.
Shen Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed, and he said directly: "The screen is also customized, but the price is more expensive." β
When the young lady heard this, she said, "Don't be afraid of expensive, you can use as much as you want!" β
Shen Xiaoyu saw that this was the God of Wealth, so he said: "The main thing that takes effort is this painting, so I will lose less than one or two halves." β
As soon as the girl heard this, she immediately gave the silver, and Shen Xiaoyu was jealous in her heart, rich people are good, spending money like dirt!
"Then this painting lady has to stay with me first." Shen Xiaoyu wrote a note as he said and handed it to the young lady: "After that, just use this note to pick up the goods." β
The young lady was a little worried about handing over the painting to Shen Xiaoyu, after all, she was not familiar with it, Shen Xiaoyu also guessed it, so she said: "Miss rest assured, as long as it is not too big under the snow, I will basically come to set up a stall every day, I have been setting up a stall here for three years, and I will not run away for Miss Kidnapping a painting!" β
The young lady hesitated, but finally nodded and agreed.
Shen Xiaoyu collected the painting, and thought that he would have to find a good piece of wood in the next few days.
After a few young ladies bought a fan and left, Shen Xiaoyu felt that today was really a good day for prosperous business.
As soon as the steamed cake on Lu Butterfly's side was sold out, it was already afternoon, and Shen Xiaoyu returned home and began to rummage through the wood.
"What did you do today?" Cui Fenglan watched Shen Xiaoyu rummage through the pile of wood.
"Someone ordered the screen and gave the money directly." Shen Xiaoyu said that it was originally a deposit, but it turned out that everyone was completely black.
Cui Fenglan looked at the scroll that Shen Xiaoyu put down, took it and looked at it, and said, "This painting is really good!" β
Shen Xiaoyu found the wood and gestured, and then said, "Just make a copy." β
"It's not easy to copy, look at this pen, there is skill." Cui Fenglan said.
Shen Xiaoyu doesn't care, she can copy seven or eight achievements, if she is really so powerful, she can't ask for one or two halves, right?
The wood is easy to carve, but this painting takes some effort, find the right gauze pulp and wash it, and then you can start work.
Cui Fenglan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and now it's been four months, Shen Xiaoyu saw that Cui Fenglan's clothes were a little small, so he took out a piece of cloth from the package: "Auntie, this is the new cloth I bought, let's make a loose one." β
Cui Fenglan took it and said, "Cheng." β
It took Shen Xiaoyu a few days to finally make the screen, which was indeed the most laborious painting.
"Auntie, do you need to show Grandpa Cui?" Shen Xiaoyu said that she felt that she was okay to imitate, but Cui Lao Xiucai's vision was still unique.
Cui Fenglan smiled and said, "No, let your grandfather Cui see it, I'm afraid I will have to say more again!" β
Shen Xiaoyu nodded, wrapped the screen and went out.
The lady who came to pick up the screen inspected the goods and was quite satisfied.
Shen Xiaoyu sent people away with a smile, it seems that his small business can be extended a little more.
Qin Huaijin came here with great interest today, and he also brought fabrics, and Yu Ping also wanted to make clothes, so he took the initiative to ask for it, and by the way, he also ordered a set himself.
Shen Xiaoyu took the cloth and said, "You seem to have grown a little taller again." Then I made a note of the dimensions.
"My teacher's size is here." Qin Huaijin said: "My teacher Shun should not be too glamorous, nor too thin!" β
"Don't worry!" Shen Xiaoyu can also be regarded as a master!
Shen Xiaoyu saw that Qin Huaijin had finished speaking, and he didn't even leave, so he asked, "What's the matter?" β
Qin Huaijin was tugging in his heart, and now he didn't say to Shen Xiaoyu that he was her "sick seedling" fiancΓ©, but looking at Shen Xiaoyu, he held back for a long time and finally didn't say anything.
"It's okay......" Qin Huaijin was deflated, turned his head and left.
Shen Xiaoyu was idle, so he first put a few buttons for backup, and when it was noon, he Lu Butterfly was just about to go home, and the young lady who took the screen came again.
"Boss, who painted this painting of you?" The young lady asked.
Shen Xiaoyu said: "It's me, what's wrong?" She wondered if she was dissatisfied with the screen again, she was quite happy when she left just now!
"My dad said he wanted to see people who painted and painted!" The young lady said with a smile.
Shen Xiaoyu smiled, thinking it was quite glorious, her two brushes really felt good?!
"I can't leave the stall." Shen Xiaoyu said that she would not go with others easily.
The young lady said: "That's okay, my father will come in person tomorrow, and the boss will be here tomorrow!" β
Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes!" β
The young lady left, Shen Xiaoyu smiled, and when Lu Butterfly saw it, he said, "So good mood?" β
"Of course, with word of mouth, it will be easy to make money in the future!" A handkerchief costs three or five cents, but now the screen can be sold for at least one or two, and the gap is not half a star.
Lu Butterfly looked at Shen Xiaoyu's stall and wondered if he was going to expand his business?
Shen Xiaoyu looked at Lu Butterfly's expression and guessed it, so he said: "Didn't Ruizhu say that the high point of Dahongyun is delicious, you sell it cheaply, and you will definitely be able to attract a lot of customers!" β
Lu Butterfly nodded: "It's a bit of a head." β
When the two returned home, Shen Xiaoyu began to make clothes, and he was very busy.
The next day, as soon as Shen Xiaoyu arrived at the stall, before he started to set up, yesterday's young lady came and led a middle-aged man to come together.
"Boss, you painted the screen before?" The middle-aged man still didn't believe it, such a small girl, this painting is not ordinary, if it is not a genius, it is taught by a famous teacher!
Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "I painted it." β
The middle-aged man looked at the fan that Shen Xiaoyu had just put on the stall, nodded, and said, "It is indeed from the hand of one person, boss, what a good pen!" β
Shen Xiaoyu exploded and said, "It's really fake?" "It didn't take long for her to learn to paint, so she could only draw scoops based on gourds, is it so exaggerated?
