Chapter 77: Production Self-Help
The reason why Wu Xing did everything possible to pull in Niu Hua was actually to increase his bargaining chips, he knew that the people in the village would not worry about him, because everyone in Niu Jia Village knew what kind of goods they were, but it was completely different when they pulled Niu Hua.

Niu Huahua gives a very good impression, the villagers may not worry about Wu Xing, but they will definitely worry about Niu Huahua, with Niu Huahua as a bargaining chip, Wu Xing feels that his punishment afterwards will be much lighter.
The two ran wildly, and in order to avoid being caught, they took the path.
There have been two heavy snowfalls this year, and the snow has not melted yet, so the mountain road is a little difficult to walk, Wu Xing repeatedly looked back to observe the situation behind him, and found that no one had caught up, so he simply slowed down and pulled the cow flowers on the mountain road slowly.
After a period of frantic running, both of them were tired and sweaty, Wu Xing pulled the collar of his coat open, revealing the iron clothes he was wearing inside, he exhaled a mouthful of white mist, and rejoiced: "Fortunately, let's run fast, otherwise we will be finished if we are caught." ”
Niu Huahua's little face was flushed, and she stretched out her little hand to fan her face: "Brother Xiaoxing, did you bring any money?" We'll starve to death if we don't bring any money. ”
"Huahua, don't be so pessimistic, we have hands and feet, how can we be starved to death?"
"You don't want to steal, do you? The teacher said, this is a criminal thing, we can't do it. ”
"Who said they were going to steal?"
"What else can I do if I don't steal?"
"Look, I promise I won't starve you."
An hour and a half later, the two came to Jiashan Town, which is more than ten miles away from Zhaojiagou, and Wu Xing decided to come here to carry out the "production self-help" campaign in order to avoid meeting acquaintances.
"Brother Xiaoxing, I'm hungry."
Although she ate mountain chicken in the morning, after a flight trip, the chicken she ate was almost digested, and Niu Huahua's body was much stronger than that of ordinary girls, and when she arrived in Jiashan Town, her stomach was already hungry.
Wu Xing looked at the environment on the street, and finally focused his eyes on a few stalls selling couplets, only to see him roll his eyes: "Huahua, come with me, we will have delicious food soon." ”
In a few days, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated, and only stalls selling candy and melon seeds and couplets will be left on the street. Wu Xing couldn't find a breakthrough from the vendor who sold candy and melon seeds, but he was very confident in the person who sold the couplet.
Soon, the two came to a stall, and the couplets sold in these years are all written and sold, and they can't do it at all without a little real ability.
Wu Xing chose an old man who looked very kind, there was a table in front of this old man, and all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table were all ready, the only fly in the ointment was that the business was very cold, and other stalls selling couplets were more or less surrounded by people, but there was not even a person in front of this stall.
When the old man saw Wu Xing and Niu Huahua coming over, he thought that he was sent by the adults in the family to buy couplets, so he immediately greeted: "Little baby, what couplets do you want to buy?" ”
Wu Xing smiled politely: "Hello grandpa, we are not here to buy couplets, but to help you sell them." ”
When the old man heard this, he was immediately stunned, and he was stunned for a moment before asking, "Help me sell couplets?" This ......"
Niu Huahua was also a little puzzled: "Brother Xiaoxing, how can you help?" ”
Wu Xing didn't say a word, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote down such a couplet: "Spring breeze and summer rain are beautiful in a thousand mountains, autumn chrysanthemums and winter plums are fragrant in Kyushu", and the horizontal batch is "The world is peaceful".
Wu Xing just observed the sample of the couplet that the old man placed on the table, and found that the old man's calligraphy was not very good, perhaps this was the reason why his business was very cold.
Wu Xing has been practicing calligraphy with Lao Li Tou for several years, and his attainments in calligraphy are far beyond ordinary people, and he feels that as long as he shows his hand a little, he can calm this old man.
Sure enough, the old man immediately stayed on the spot after seeing the couplet written by Wu Xing, staring at the couplet for a moment, and then he spoke: "The font is vigorous and powerful, and the penmanship is mellow and free, little baby, you are so powerful, I am ashamed of myself." ”
Wu Xing pretended to smile modestly: "Grandpa has won the prize, if you don't mind, can you let us help you sell couplets?" The proceeds are divided into three or seven, and I am three and you are seven, what's the matter? ”
The old man was very talkative, he smiled and waved his hand: "Uncle doesn't want to take advantage of you, let's go five-five." ”
Wu Xingyi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, deal!" ”
At this time, there is a calligraphy course in primary school, Niu Huahua has practiced calligraphy, she can also see the good and bad, at this moment, when she saw Wu Xing's calligraphy so good, she looked at Wu Xing with adoring eyes: "Brother Xiaoxing, you are so powerful, why didn't you show this ability before?" ”
Of course, Wu Xing would not say that every time he was in the brush class, he was busy peeking at the bottom of Mr. Wang's skirt with a mirror, and there was no time to waste on writing calligraphy, he pretended to be very self-contained and said: "Huahua, the teacher often teaches us to be humble, I naturally have to listen to the teacher's teachings, come, let's start work." ”
In order to attract attention, Wu Xing moved the table forward a distance, almost putting the table in the middle of the road, and then he asked Niu Huahua to find two bamboo poles and hang the couplet he had just written high, which was regarded as advertising.
Originally, Wu Xing thought that after he hung up the couplet, the people who saw it would take the initiative to come to the door, but he miscalculated, and the stall was set up for more than ten minutes, and there was still no business.
Wu Xing was a little breathless, he looked at several other stalls with better business, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately thought about it.
"Huahua, I'll go to pull business, you and the old man will wait here for a while."
Wu Xing got up to leave after speaking, he walked back and forth, and after figuring out the situation of these stalls, he finally stopped in front of the stall with the best business.
There were more than a dozen guests gathered in front of this stall, and Wu Xing took advantage of the fact that the guests were inquiring about the price with the boss, and shouted: "Boss, the couplet you wrote is not neat, isn't this fooling the broad masses of the people?" ”
Everyone turned their heads when they heard this, and the boss didn't want to lose his position in front of everyone, so he immediately said with a straight face: "Little baby, where is the couplet I wrote not neat?" ”
Wu Xing stretched out his hand and pointed to the sample of the couplet placed on the table: "This couplet is not neat, the upper couplet is 'Cattle Fat Horse Zhuang Family Wealth', the lower couplet is 'Chicken Flying Dog Jumping Everywhere Huan', Chicken Flying Dog Jumping is not a good word, you are a little inappropriate to use in the couplet, and the word 'Huan' is not eye-catching enough, and it should be changed." ”
The old man knew that what Wu Xing said was very reasonable, but in order not to smash the signboard, he could only force himself to ask: "Then how do you say to change it?" ”
