(162) Take the lead

Zhang Qingting encouraged Fang Dehai to start a cooking class. He also suggested, "Just like their masters in class, you also prepare the things you want to talk about in advance, and these materials will be sorted out in the future, and you can use them as family heirlooms!" Give it to Mingzhu, but it's a great baby! ”

Fang Dehai was really moved, and summed up the hard work he had worked out after graduation and passed it on to future generations, which is a great achievement!

Yan Bowen thought for a while, "Then can we classify these materials, of course some things cannot be made public, but can materials like the ones mentioned in class be engraved into books and taken out for sale?" It's also an income! ”

Zhang Qingting applauded, "This is a great idea!" Our store is responsible for underwriting! ”

Fang Mingzhu also agreed, "Grandpa, then you can say it, I will be responsible for writing it for you." ”

Fang Dehai hesitated for a moment, "If it's an engraved book, it's not big, right?" There are many words without mistakes, so isn't it ruining the jobs of others? ”

When Zhao Yulan heard this, she had the right to speak, "No." Master. For example, you taught me to make red bean cake, which is easy to say, but in fact, the recipe and heat of that thing are all exquisite. If you just read books, you can only know a general idea, but you can't learn the essence, so you still have to find a master to dial it! But if you are a person who can do it, it is good to have a book and read it often. ”

Fang Dehai pondered for a while and made up his mind, "Then why don't we try it?" Let's take a class first, and if the response is good, let's move on! ”

Yan Bowen said with a smile, "Old man, you don't have to rush to finish it all at once, we have to hang people's appetites, or we won't show your dignity." In this class, you can either talk about one topic, or just two common dishes, and how to make the most special taste, which is not a serious art, but also a way to learn. ”

Fang Dehai listened reasonably, "It's just that if it's a fee for teaching, I'm afraid we will have to pay some rent in the school." ”

Zhang Qingting hurriedly said, "Then Ah Li, you can write down this matter, write something like an official document, and I will give it to Xianggong." Let him go to the academy to apply, and he will have a formal appearance. ”

Soon, Yan Bowen concisely drafted a document and came out, and Zhang Qingting looked very good and took it back first. Fang Dehai has had more things since then, and he dictated it himself, so that Fang Mingzhu could write down all his life's work and organize it into a book to pass on to future generations.

Zhao Chengcai went to Lou Zhixian in the yamen to discuss the matter of the charity sale, and he also felt that their idea was feasible. However, with his old and spicy eyes, he could see at a glance Zhang Qingting's careful thoughts, and after a little thought, he smiled and excused himself, "It's just that this official is about to step down, and it is not beautiful to have more trouble." Don't let the government come forward in this matter, let you organize it in the name of the academy! I can leave two pairs of words, which can be regarded as a little bit of dedication to the Zaran Academy! ”

That's fine. Since they have obtained the approval of Lou Zhi County, they went to find other masters and gentlemen, but most of them were willing to come and join in the fun, either a word or a painting. Or the fan, or the seal, etc., have promises.

Li Hongwen suddenly remembered, half joking and half serious, "Like your teacher, why don't you also ask him for a pair of calligraphy and paintings?" It's a reconciliation! ”

Zhao Chengcai slapped his head, yes! He was also afraid that there were few things, not enough to hang sixteen sets of yards, "Then it's better like this, like those old masters last time, as well as the younger brothers and sisters in your house, if there are neat calligraphy and paintings, why don't you let people write them?" Always do your best! ”

Li Hongwen nodded, but remembered, "Then we might as well send an invitation to all the big families, if it is the daughter of the son of any family, the wife of the staff is willing to write and paint!" What a graceful thing is this? Let's also take the opportunity to see the real material of these young ladies! ”

Zhao Chengcai sneered, "Don't think crookedly again!" If this is the case, they will not be done finding someone to polish their pen, where can they really see the superiority? ”

However, Li Hongwen's opinion is really good, in this way, those big families have calligraphy and paintings, of course, they will come to see the house uninvited, and there is no need for him to mention half a word at all, if it is an interested person, he will definitely take the initiative to inquire about the house. How ingenious and natural is this?

Zhao Chengcai had already made up his mind, so he drew up all the invitations based on Li Hongwen's words, and Lou Zhixian set off on the 26th, so their charity sale would be held on the 28th.

Things are agreed. posted notices outside the school, and went door to door to distribute invitations.

Everyone looks at this thing as a novelty, both elegant and chic, anyway, he always does good deeds for the school, Li Hongwen's mouth can be fooled, and there are really a lot of people who sign up to participate.

Many people still have such an idea in their hearts, that is, their calligraphy and paintings cannot be sold, and they must find relatives and friends to buy them, so they must not lose this face. So the academy must be earned!

When Zhao Chengcai came back in the evening, Zhang Qingting had already seen the notice outside the school, "If you don't dislike it, I will also write two calligraphy and paintings, and I will also sell them for fun, and I will do something good!" ”

"That's a good idea!" Zhao Chengcai knows her skills, and she doesn't explore the source, "Just take it easy, don't let people see the clues." ”

Zhang Qingting smiled, "I naturally know!" There is another layer, are those calligraphy and paintings enough to count? You'll have to fill all the yards. Otherwise, how can you attract people to come in and shop! ”

"I also think of this layer, no matter how bad it is, I will write two pairs myself." Zhao Chengcai raised the invitation card in his hand, "There is also a teacher." I'll have to ask him for two copies! ”

"Don't forget Miss Yang!" Zhang Qingting teased, "That's a talented girl!" ”

Zhao Chengcai glanced at her, "Say I'm stingy, aren't you the same yourself?" Just say that this little thing is said over and over again, you are not tired of it! ”

Zhang Qingting's face turned red and changed the topic, "I still have something serious to discuss with you." ”

She waved the official document prepared by Yan Bowen in front of him, "Do you think this matter is feasible?" ”

Zhao Chengcai looked at it and shook his head, "You said you, why do you have so many brains all day?" But although this thing is good, Lou Zhixian doesn't have the heart to do it now. There's no rush in this matter. It's better to press it first, and when Lord Lou is gone, and the charity sale is over, let's plan slowly, or concentrate on solving these two things first. ”

Zhang Qingting felt reasonable, looked at the invitation, and suddenly remembered someone, "Don't forget to send one to your Aunt Niu!" Didn't she say that if this house was built, she would also come and see it? Speaking of which, she gave us the idea, so thank you to her for inviting her to visit. ”

Zhao Chengcai felt very yes, but he looked at the large pile of invitations in his hand and was worried, "But if I go, who will deliver these?" And what about the school? It's a long time to go to my aunt's! ”

Zhang Qingting smiled but did not answer.

Zhao Chengcai thought for a moment and understood.

When Zhao Chengdong came to class in the evening, Zhao Chengcai handed him the invitation, "Please ask my mother Ming'er to go to my aunt's house!" When I came here, I asked Yulan to make some pastries and send them to my mother. ”

Zhao Chengdong looked surprised, he didn't know the reason for it, and he didn't know the words on the invitation, "Please aunt do it?" I'm afraid my mother won't go! ”

Zhao Chengcai said with a smile, "My mother knows about this, you just have to take it back, and she will definitely go." By the way, he taught him to recognize the words on the invitation.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Zhao Wang's family changed into clean clothes as a guest, and without saying a word, he took the cakes freshly made by Zhao Yulan in the morning, hired a carriage and went on the road.

Zhao Chengcai knew that his mother was still thinking about the little girl in her heart, and it would always be good if she had a bright opportunity to take a look at her. It's just that how to solve this little girl's matter? It's really sad!

After eating at noon, he went to send an invitation to Lao Yang Xiucai, but this time he still refused to let him enter the door, but Yucheng sent the invitation in for a long time, but came out to pass the word, "Dad said he knew, and he will send calligraphy and paintings then!" ”

It's a bit of progress! Zhao Chengcai comforted himself and left. Yang Xiaotao, who didn't know that she was hiding behind the door, looked resentful.

Zhao Wang's came back from Aunt Niu in the evening, and brought a message, just two words, "Must arrive!" ”

On the 26th, Lou Zhixian left two pairs of words and left his post with his family's luggage.

Under the careful organization of Master Chen and others, many people from Zaranburg came. Wanmin umbrellas were placed on the ground, stretching a few miles of road, and the school also specially organized students to come together to say goodbye to the parents who made great contributions to the establishment of the college.

Lou Zhixian was very moved, and repeatedly said goodbye with tears. Before leaving, he also stuffed an envelope to Zhao Chengcai, "If there is fate, we will meet again in Beijing!" ”

Waiting for no one to take a look, the names of several county officials who were good friends with him were written in it, if Zhao Chengcai should be promoted, he could go to them for help, and there was also the address of Lou Zhi County in Beijing.

This is really taking himself as a confidant junior to support, Zhao Chengcai is very moved.

Zhang Qingting also remembered something, "The two pairs of characters in Lou Zhi County, you see how much it costs, it is better to raise some money to buy them, and then hang them back in the academy, which can be regarded as a thought." ”

"We also thought of this, and it was already discussed, Li Hongwen said that his father would pay for the purchase of Lord Lou's words, and then give it to the academy for collection." Zhao Chengcai also mentioned, "But that day, you helped Old Man Fang prepare more snacks and tea, and we always have to have a hospitable appearance." ”

Zhang Qingting smiled, "We have also thought of this, but we are suffering from lack of manpower, and I want to tell you, can I ask Li Hongwen's family to borrow a few girls for two days?" ”

Zhao Chengcai nodded, "I'll talk about this, it shouldn't be a big problem." But if his family wants to buy a house, how much discount can you give? ”

Zhang Qingting gestured, "If someone else is at most, it will be a ninety-eight fold." But if he wants it, then give it a 10% discount. To be honest, I don't want to sell it yet! ”

Zhao Chengcai nodded, "Then I'll let him talk to you then!" He thought for a moment, "If you really don't have enough manpower, why don't you let your mother and Chengdong help too!" Even if you don't do anything else, you can always boil water to make tea. When my aunt comes, my mother can also help greet her. Don't worry, those who really have a bargain, I will tell her and let people come to you. ”

He wanted to create an opportunity for his family to slowly reconcile with Zhang Qingting.

How could Zhang Qingting not guess his intentions? Now it's time to employ people, and don't stick to those subsections, "Okay, let them all come!" ”

On the 27th, the calligraphy and paintings promised by each family were delivered one after another, and the sixteen small courtyards were cleaned and neatly placed.

Early in the morning of the 28th, after the personnel were ready, the entire alley was opened at the same time.

There are really a lot of people who come, it is very lively, and several old gentlemen in the county school are in charge, leading people to watch calligraphy and painting all the way.

Zhang Qingting was only in the living room that he had cleaned up separately in his backyard, waiting with the ancestors of the Fang family for the merchants who were interested in negotiating the purchase. The supply of refreshments was in charge of Zhao Wang's Zhao Yulan, and it was handed over to Yan Bowen, Zhang Xiaodie, and Zhang Jinbao to greet them.

Fang Mingzhu was very nervous, "Eldest sister, do you think someone will buy our house?" ”

Zhang Qingting was also very worried, "Wait and see!" ”

Fang Dehai cheered them up, "Don't panic!" Our house is so good, there will be people with common sense! Even if the sales are not good, the price reduction is, and there is no shame in this. ”

The second daughter nodded, calmed down, and waited for the customer to come to the door.

It didn't take long for me to hear good news from there, and several paintings and calligraphy had already been sold.

Fang Mingzhu was so young that he couldn't hold his breath, and walked around in front of the door, "Why hasn't anyone come yet?" Why hasn't anyone come here yet! ”

Zhang Qingting calmed down, "Mingzhu, don't panic, what about these sixteen houses!" Even if you want to read them one by one, it will take half an hour, if you really want it, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the middle of the day to make a decision, how can it be so fast? ”

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Zhang Xiaodie running in in a panic, "Big sister! Come...... Here it comes! ”

Zhang Qingting froze, "Is the guest here?" Please come in! ”

Zhang Xiaodie had just dodged, and He Yutang and his younger brother He Yufeng had already walked in with a smile, "Mrs. Zhao, congratulations on the opening of this business!" Shall I take the first spot? ”

Zhang Qingting was slightly surprised, "Uncle He, you also want to buy a house?" ”

He Yutang smiled, "Exactly! I want the Songfeng courtyard at the end of this alley. ”

Zhang Qingting said, "My courtyard is a set of five hundred taels of silver!" ”

He Yutang asked directly, "Is it a cash receipt or cash?" ”

That's too fast, isn't it? There are many words that are not wrong, Zhang Qingting was a little suspicious, "Uncle He, don't come to buy a house to take care of our business!" ”

He Yutang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Mrs. Zhao, it's kindness and righteousness, it's a deal, and it's still clear in the future." I really think your house is worth the price, you can rest assured! ”

Zhang Qingting thought about it, and still asked more, "Uncle He, forgive me for talking too much, your family is in the horse business." If you say to live, the house at home is already big enough, if you say to do business, you can't hit the edge of the eight poles, there must be this? ”

She didn't really want to sell the house, and she didn't want to owe him this favor for no reason, as if she wanted to repay the favor. Even if you want this house, you have to give her an acceptable reason. Besides, she was also curious, why could she buy her house so easily?
