Chapter 132: The Deflated Old Lady
"Hey, I won't tell you." The old white head continued to look at the drawings, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to rush to the carved building to start work.
"Uncle, you two will talk for a while, and I'll go and make some food for you." You like, you haven't eaten yet. Mo Xiaoqi knows that this kind of simple care can please the elderly the most.
Especially, this kind of perennially withdrawn old man.
The old white head was really useful, and quickly nodded and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, go, I'm just hungry." ”
After a while, Mo Xiaoqi came with three bowls of steaming noodles on a wooden tray.
Lao Baitou's kitchen only has dry noodles, and she will also cook a pot, but fortunately, there are still some hoarded dishes, so that she fried a diced potato, which should also taste good.
"Wow, it smells so good. Delicious, delicious. "The old white head feasted, and he hadn't eaten properly since his apprentices left.
Although he said to his apprentices that he could take care of himself, it was really difficult to cook things.
The apprentice walked for three days, and he was hungry for three days, barely eating a few potatoes.
"Chu Bo, you can eat too." Mo Xiaoqi smiled and served the noodles to Chu Bo.
However, because Chu Bo ate scallion pancakes in the morning, he was not very hungry at this time, and he ate slowly.
While eating, he laughed at the old white head and looked ugly.
"By the way, uncle, I hope to finish it before the Chinese New Year." Mo Xiaoqi knew it would be difficult, but she still hoped to be able to do it.
"In the future, I'm afraid you're thinking too much, and it's good to finish it in the spring. Your designs, which are simple to do, are actually very complex, especially if they are something that I haven't done before, and may need to be experimented with. The old white head said bluntly.
"Can't you think of anything else?" Mo Xiaoqi twisted his eyebrows.
"This really can't be, even if you gather the craftsmen of the entire Hongguo, it is impossible to complete it in three months, the carved building was built by me, and I know the size very well." The old white head finished the last bite of noodles and was quietly scooping from Chu Bo's bowl into his own bowl.
But Chu Bo was not blind, and directly hit his chopsticks.
"Xiao Mo, this old white head said no, that is, it really can't work." After Chu Bo finished playing the old white head's chopsticks, he directly pushed his bowl to the other party.
Mo Xiaoqi frowned, since he couldn't do it before the New Year, there was no way.
She could only think of other ways to decorate while doing things, and she just took advantage of this time to study and study others.
When the carved building is completely renovated, it will be able to immediately revitalize the business inside. This also requires upfront momentum......
It's not a good idea to open a shop quietly, although she hasn't done business in her previous life, but she hasn't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
Even if you copy it directly, it will be very effective.
So she gritted her teeth and said, "Cheng, uncle, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
has reached an agreement with Lao Baitou, Mo Xiaoqi began to carefully explain the details on the drawings to him, and Lao Baitou listened very attentively.
But the problem comes again, if you want to start work as soon as possible, you can't do it alone.
His apprentices have all left, and he is alone, and it is estimated that he will not be busy until the next life!
Just when the three of them were at a loss, a human voice suddenly remembered outside the small courtyard.
"Master! Master! We're back. ”
When the three of them opened the door, they saw more than a dozen people standing outside the door with packages on their shoulders.
"Stinky boys, why are you back? Didn't I let you go back for the holidays? The old white head said strange things on his lips, but he smiled on his face.
It turned out that his apprentices, all of whom were afraid that the master would starve to death at home, hurried home to see his parents, and they all rushed back non-stop.
"Phew, can your master starve to death?" The old white head pouted, revealing an angry look.
The apprentices looked at each other, and then laughed and said, "Okay, the master won't starve to death, no." Aren't we back? Come, master, I will bring you a specialty. ”
These apprentices, one by one, held up the packages on their backs to the old white head.
They are all snacks from their respective hometowns, and they are glad that their hometowns are not far away to be able to come back and forth so quickly.
"Hey, your master won't starve to death. It's just going to fall to your death. Chu Bo rolled his eyes, compared to his lonely appearance in the carved building, it was obvious that the old white head was happier.
"Go, go, talk less." The old white man happily let the apprentices in.
"Stinky boys, we've got a lot of work. I can make a lot of money this time, hahaha. The old white head pointed to the drawings on the table, very happy.
Mo Xiaoqi has promised him that the reward will not disappoint him.
Although he doesn't value money so much, his group of disciples still have to eat to support their families.
"Wow, master, this is a big project." The eldest apprentice, Hu Tu, was amazed with the drawings, "This design is too ingenious." Interesting, interesting. ”
"Hehe, I'm interested. Let's go up to that building in the afternoon and check it. The old white head stroked his beard, and he knew that this group of apprentices would also be very interested.
"Uncle, everything is up to you." Mo Xiaoqi made another gesture, grateful to Dade, she heard Chu Bo say that this old white man would not take things that could not be completed, so since he agreed, he said that he would definitely be able to make the appearance on the drawings.
Now what she needs is to settle in the department store, of course, her first goal is to settle in by herself, but obviously the current state is unrealistic.
She just looked for someone to work with first.
The first one to look for was Zhang Dongdong, who lived in the east of the city, and on the second day, Zhang Dongdong really got up early in the morning and waited for her.
She hurried over, carrying a lot of snacks.
"Childe, you are too polite, my mother has lost all her teeth, and she can't eat snacks anymore." Zhang Dongdong said helplessly.
He didn't set up a stall today, so the journey was easy, but not exerting his strength meant that his body was cold, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"It's cold enough, this day. It's not warm to wear a padded jacket either. ”
Mo Xiaoqi carried the basket and walked lightly, but fortunately she wore a down jacket.
It seems that the people of the north need her rescue very much! She had to take advantage of the winter to sell a batch of down jackets.
There is no hope for the department store for the time being, and it is not bad to be able to make a fortune with a down jacket!
Thinking so crankily, she had already followed Zhang Dongdong to the east of the city.
Zhang Dongdong pushed open an old door and shouted inside.
"Mother, I'm back."
An old woman's voice came from inside: "Coming back?" What are you going to do when you come back? Is there no business today? ”
Zhang Dongdong didn't speak, but pushed the door through the messy courtyard and entered the house.
"Childe, don't dislike it, sit down ......" He hurriedly asked Mo Xiaoqi to sit down.
Mo Xiaoqi raised his eyes and saw an old lady with a shrunken face coming out of it.
Sure enough, there were no teeth, and his face was deflated.
