The middle-aged man looked at Shen Xiaoyu, who could draw such a "reliable" painting at a young age, and asked, "What books have you read?" ”

"Yo, that's a miscellaneous, look at everything." Shen Xiaoyu said that when he was usually setting up a stall, he would read any book when he was idle, and he liked the most travelogues and biographies.

The middle-aged man nodded, and then said, "I want a painting, can you draw it?" ”

"What's the painting?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, "It's too difficult, I can't do it!" ”

The man smiled, turned back to the carriage and took out a painting, and said, "If you can draw exactly the same, I'll give you five taels." ”

Five taels? Shen Xiaoyu's ears were excited by this "huge amount of money", you must know that five taels of silver is enough to eat and drink for a year!

Shen Xiaoyu took the painting and took a look, a landscape painting was a bit similar to the previous one.

"If you can't draw this painting, you'll have to pay me a tael!" As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly handed the painting back, and said embarrassedly: "You can find someone else...... "You can not earn five taels, but one tael must not be lost!"

The middle-aged man was stunned, this little girl is really principled!

"Then you don't have to pay for it, just draw it!" The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Shen Xiaoyu heard that there was no need to lose, and took the painting back, this money can be earned with confidence, of course she has to earn it.

"A deposit of one or two." Shen Xiaoyu said, one or two is enough.

After giving the money, the middle-aged man said, "How long can I get it?" I'm leaving Liaoyang City next month. ”

Shen Xiaoyu estimated that the time should be enough, so he should go down: "Ten days at the latest, if I finish painting, I can send it to the door, and if it is convenient, I can leave an address!" ”

"Ten days?" The middle-aged man listened and laughed: "Okay, I'll pick it up myself in ten days!" With that, he took the little girl with him.

Shen Xiaoyu looked at the painting and pondered that this painting paper was not ordinary, and he had to buy some new paper after setting up the stall for a while.

Lu Butterfly watched Shen Xiaoyu come and go like this and made a big deal of five taels of silver, and quickly gave a thumbs up: "Xiaoyu, you are too powerful!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's a little meaning! "Anyone who does the work that makes money has energy!

At noon, the stall was closed, Shen Xiaoyu and Lu Butterfly went to buy paper first, she has a store that specializes in buying paper, and as soon as she entered, she bought two catties of colored paper.

"Boss, what kind of paper is this painting on?" Shen Xiaoyu asked.

The boss took the painting and said, "Yes, it's expensive, this rice paper looks delicate and strong, and it's made of good bamboo, so it's more expensive." ”

"How much is it?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, she saw that this paper was not ordinary, and it was really expensive.

"One hundred pieces of paper." The boss said, "If you paint, you won't use such an expensive one, and you can do anything else!" ”

"What?" Shen Xiaoyu was shocked, just a piece of paper, the colored paper she usually buys is sold for ten cents, and this paper is used for one hundred? Shen Xiaoyu felt incredible, so he said, "Boss, is your paper mixed with gold dust?" So expensive! ”

The boss smiled: "It's not expensive, it's not that I said, except for our family, there must be no other family, this paper is affordable for people in Kyoto City, the number is still small, and I don't have a few of them." Or you just listen to my advice and change to other paper, which is cheaper than this! The boss also felt that Shen Xiaoyu was a bit expensive to buy this paper, and he would only buy it when his brain was kicked by a donkey.

Shen Xiaoyu was entangled, and Lu Butterfly next to him said: "It's really expensive, how many handkerchiefs do you have to sell for a hundred yuan!" ”

"Buy!" Shen Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and decided to buy it.

"Xiaoyu, really buy it?!" Lu Butterfly asked.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Buy, people want the same, and the paper is not the same." "I can't help the wolf if the child can't catch the child, so I have to paint the money that should be spent!

The boss saw that Shen Xiaoyu really bought it, so he asked Shen Xiaoyu to wait for a while, and then took out a bamboo tube: "You are also a frequent customer, and Uncle will not make your money in vain!" Then let Shen Xiaoyu pick out the paper and carefully roll it up and put it in the bamboo tube.

Shen Xiaoyu smiled: "Thank you, uncle!" Then he took his things and left.

All the way back, Shen Xiaoyu was holding a bamboo tube in his hand, sitting on the ox cart and holding the bamboo tube in both hands, for fear that the paper inside would have three long and two short.

When he got home, Shen Xiaoyu put away the paper and painting first, and pasted the paper out first.

Cui Fenglan helped to beat the paste, and Shen Xiaoyu cut the bamboo strips, and this time the customers ordered a lot of goods.

Cui Laoxiu's health has improved in the past few days, and when he heard that Shen Xiaoyu had taken over a painting business, he came over to see the excitement, opened it, and said: "This painting is good, the brush is in place." Then I looked at the payment and didn't know it.

Shen Xiaoyu said: "I received a deposit of one tael, and then there are four taels, I also wonder, this painting is not as good as Grandpa Cui, how can you paint an imitation and be so valuable!" ”

Cui Lao Xiucai said with a smile: "Painting this thing depends on who appreciates it, some people think that this painting is not worth a penny, and some people will think that this painting is worth a thousand gold, and it is different from steamed buns!"

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "It makes sense, if this painting is worth five taels, Grandpa Cui's is worth fifty taels!" ”

Cui Laoxiu knew that Shen Xiaoyu was fooling him, so he smiled and said, "You have to paint more when you have time." ”

Of course, Shen Xiaoyu has to paint more, and painting classes are more profitable than embroidering handkerchiefs, but Liaoyang City doesn't seem to know how to appreciate too much.

The next day, Shen Xiaoyu handed over the paste paper, collected the money, and was bored guarding the stall, sewing clothes in his hands, although his hands were a little cold, but there was more work recently, so he had to hurry up.

Lu Butterfly saw that Shen Xiaoyu was so busy, and said, "Are you tired?" ”

"Tired, but tired!" Shen Xiaoyu said, it's not that she's so tired every day, after all, it's not that business is so good every day, if business is hot every day, she is willing to be tired!

Lu Butterfly smiled, and then said, "I want to go to Dahongyun to buy some pastries in a while." "Now that the capital is enough, I am thinking about expanding the scale.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "I heard that there is also Da Baoxiang, who also sells pastries, and that Miss Xue eats Da Baoxiang." ”

"Let's buy it!" If you want to do it, you can do it best, and Lu Butterfly also feels that she can't save money by picking the door.

The two of them closed the stall first, and then asked Uncle An to wait for them at the gate of the city, Shen Xiaoyu had not yet entered Dabaoxiang, so he asked a fragrance, it is worthy of being a famous pastry shop in the city, and I will drool just by smelling it.

"Wow, where can I eat this pastry!" Shen Xiaoyu looked at the pastries on the counter, and he was reluctant to stop just looking at the appearance.

The guy greeted him and greeted him warmly: "What do the two girls want to buy, sugar steamed cheese, ruyi cake, acacia cake, auspicious fruit,

Pearl jade taro balls, lotus leaf soup, plum blossom cakes, fragrant drinks, rose cakes, tangram dim sum, there are many types, it depends on what the girl likes to eat! ”

Shen Xiaoyu looked at the shopkeeper Balabala and said a lot, couldn't help applauding, and said: "This mouth is really powerful, I don't know what is delicious in your house when I come back!" ”

The guy said, "Then let's have our steamed cheese and ruyi cake, these two are the best!" Then he pointed to the two things on the counter and showed them to Shen Xiaoyu.

Shen Xiaoyu licked his mouth, looked at Lu Butterfly, and said, "Butterfly, what do you want to buy?" Let's buy it as we go!"

Lu Butterfly nodded: "Okay!" Then he pointed out two things as well, so that he could save money.

Shen Xiaoyu pondered about buying two things, and asked the price, even if he was thinking about how to buy the right one, at this time, Xue Yijun's voice came from behind him.

"Shen Xiaoyu? Why are you here? Xue Yijun asked, and then said, "Can you still afford to come to this place?" ”

As soon as Shen Xiaoyu turned around, he saw Xue Yijun, Xue Yijun was also accompanied by a maid, and it seemed that she was here to buy pastries.

"Miss Xue! What a fate! Shen Xiaoyu went over to speak.

Xue Yijun raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the first time I've seen you here!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Isn't it, I'm here for the first time today, where can the poor eat the pastries here every day, isn't this here to see and see!" Then the hand behind him gestured at the landing butterfly!

Lu Butterfly understood, and hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "Isn't it, I also heard from Xiaoyu, Miss Xue always comes to this Dabaoxiang, and we are also curious about how delicious the pastries here are!" ”

The two of them smiled like flowers, Xue Yijun felt that he was very happy to be flattered like this, so he said proudly: "That's natural, since you two are here, it's good to taste it!" Then he asked the fellow, "Do you have any steamed cheese and wishful cakes?" ”

The guy said, "Yes, yes! How much is Miss Xue coming? ”

"Half a catty of each is fine, and I can't eat much!" Xue Yijun said.

The guy went to wrap the pastry, Shen Xiaoyu and Lu Butterfly counted it, and finally decided, so he said to the guy: "I want two pieces of sugar steamed cheese and Ruyi cake each." ”

Lu Butterfly said: "Auspicious fruits and tangram dim sum, I also want two of each!" ”

When Xue Yijun next to him heard this, he laughed directly: "Hey, what are you two doing here!" Can I buy a few more dollars to make you poor?! ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "No way, poor!" "How can they compare with Xue Yijun's generous shots?

After the guy wrapped it, Shen Xiaoyu and Lu Butterfly went to the side to divide each other's points, and in the end, there was no one else.

"I'm really convinced!" Xue Yijun looked at these two people and was really not ordinary shabby!

Xue Yijun led the maid away with a swagger, and the two who were despised looked at each other and smiled, they were also a little too good!

"Let's go home!" Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile, she still has to paint when she goes back!

Riding back to the village in an ox cart, Shen Xiaoyu came over with pastries to offer treasures, Cui Fenglan has not eaten anything good since she was pregnant, and the chicken at home is also a meal of soup, if you can save it, she will save it, she will buy a few pastries and give Cui Fenglan a tooth sacrifice.

Back to the room, Shen Xiaoyu cleared the table and put the paper on the table, she didn't dare to get started directly with the paper of 100 wen, if the painting was bad, she would be distressed to death, so she took the colored paper to make a draft first. These five taels of silver, she has earned it!
