Xiang shopkeeper roughly calculated the time: "Of course, the sooner the calligraphy and painting of the shopkeeper Xiao, the better, on October 28, there will be a conference in Yaoshan Temple, seeing that it will be less than 20 days, you can come out with 20 words and 20 paintings in four or five days?" ”

Xiao Qing lowered her eyebrows and roughly calculated the time, these days she has to go to Beijing once, it will take a few days to go back and forth, I am afraid that within four or five days, it will not be easy to come out, and it will take time to polish the good and bad paintings and characters, otherwise throw out a random one, that is, waste paper.

"Words, one or two days can come out, but twenty paintings may be difficult to come out in four or five days, unless the shopkeeper and you shopkeeper want defective products, or copy products, otherwise you want to be fine, far-reaching, high-quality paintings, twenty paintings do not come out in two or three months, even if it is two or three months, there may not be a good product." Xiao Qing said seriously.

People who know how to paint must know that she is telling the truth, painting is more difficult than words, painting must be tempered, carefully arranged, and tempered.

"Oh!" Said to the shopkeeper: "Then please shopkeeper Xiao as soon as possible, when you produce a painting, a word, we will pay a painting and a word of silver, do you think?" ”

Xiao Qing hummed, if her paintings were as famous as her words, she would not sell them for such a low price.

After several people discussed it, the matter was settled.

Although Fang Huai was still angry when he left, he finally had some confidence in this porcelain conference, and he put down the stone in his heart.

Thinking that if the prince learned that their porcelain paintings were made by Xiao Qinglai, would the prince have more or less focused on their porcelain in the competition?

Yes, definitely!

Hehe, after spending so much money, if not, his heart will ache to death!

After sending off a few shopkeepers, Zhou Chuan walked back to the courtyard with Xiao Qing with a smile and sat down.

"Shopkeeper Xiao can be so handled, it's really rare, do you know, these people are in the county, but notoriously not easy to deal with, I have heard that these people in order to make money, the means are dazzling, sometimes very despicable, Shopkeeper Xiao will negotiate with them in the future, everything has to keep ten eyes to deal with it!" Zhou Chuan kindly reminded.

Xiao Qing hummed, deeply understood, she invited him to sit down: "Shopkeeper Zhou, sit down, you are right, these people are quite thoughtful, if it weren't for the chaos in the morning, I would have almost fallen into their way." ”

Zhou Chuan listened to her words, glanced at Ah Chao who was sitting on the side, and asked with a smile, "Who is this ......?" ”

Ah Chao held his chin in his hand, playing with the iron pipe in his hand on the table, no matter what the two of them said.

Xiao Qing smiled and said: "Oh, he is Ah Chao, he is a person from the yamen, and he lives in my house temporarily, just to help my family and eat together." ”

Zhou Chuan saluted to Ah Lan: "Oh, I didn't expect that Brother Ah Chao was young and could deal with these people, it is rare and rare, fortunately, I will be lucky!" ”

Ah Chao didn't respond, looked up at him for a moment and sneered, and then continued to play with the iron pipe in his hand with his head.

Xiao Qing's eyes are chaotic, what kind of attitude does he have? Zhou Chuan is an important partner in her business, and people say good things to compliment him, how can he respond with this attitude?

She hurriedly smiled and explained: "Shopkeeper Zhou doesn't have to pay attention to him, he used to live in the mountains, he was not very gregarious, and he was a little arrogant. ”

Zhou Chuan nodded and smiled: "It's okay!" ”

"Shopkeeper Xiao, you sent away a few Great Plague Buddhas with your front foot, and I sent you a Great Plague God with your back foot!"

When Xiao Qing heard it, it was really a bad thing.

"Is there something wrong with the dogwood noodles in Beijing?" She asked cautiously.

Zhou Chuan's face was solemn, and his smile was exhausted: "Shopkeeper Xiao is quick-witted, and he guesses it, it is indeed an accident in the Qingfeng Restaurant and the Hangover Restaurant in Shangjing, and the shopkeeper Jiang of the Qingfeng Restaurant wrote that because the spicy taste is prevalent in Shangjing, it has set off a large wave of chasing the spicy taste, most of them are powerful people in the court, and one of the noblemen has eaten their spicy taste, and he began to eat it politely, but after a long time, this nobleman has to eat every meal every day, and it is too much for me to let the shopkeeper Jiang personally go to his house to deliver food, But Jiang shopkeeper restaurant only five catties of dogwood noodles can be sold every day, most of the restaurant is the family of the ministers of the court, he is a sin can not afford to eat ah, three times twice said that it can not be sent alone, there are few things, and it is expensive, but the noble minister said, if my two friends do not obey, let them Qingfeng Restaurant close! Zhou Chuan sighed and said: "Later, my restaurant friend told you that there is little supply here, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Ask you how big a person who sells dogwood noodles is, how big ...... is it, don't say it, shopkeeper Xiao, look at this matter......

Xiao Qing's face sank when he heard this, the nobles of the court?

She asked worriedly: "Shopkeeper Zhou, tell me, what is the identity of this noble minister of the court?" ”

Zhou Chuan glanced at Xiao Qing and sighed, "Yes...... When the son of the imperial master, oh, but the concubine, raised in the outer courtyard, it is said that this person usually walks the streets, chasing chickens and dogs, very bad, relying on the power of his father, in the various restaurants in Beijing, the workshop, the temple, the nunnery, caused a lot of bad things, this time he named the surname to see you, my friend sent a letter to come, saying that he did not see Xiao shopkeeper you in three days, then the son of the Taishi is going to demolish the Qingfeng Restaurant, smash their restaurant, and drive the people of the Qingfeng Restaurant out of Beijing! ”

"This is too lawless, doesn't the master care? If you can't eat the taste, you will destroy them, what kind of truth is this? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, can you still tolerate such a rampant person? Xiao Qing asked in surprise.

Zhou Chuan said with a calm face: "Yes, no one can take care of it, he was born to the concubine favored by the Taishi, and it hurts like a baby bump when he was born, how can the power that the shopkeeper Jiang rely on in Shangjing withstand the Taishi, he dares to be angry and dare not speak!" ”

Xiao counted the days, it was too late, she had just promised Fang Huai and others to help them write calligraphy and paintings, she had to go to Beijing to deal with this matter, and if it was fast, it would take two or three days to come back, and if it was delayed, I am afraid it would take more than ten days to return.

And here in Yaoshan, she has to walk more before she can change the chili powder noodles.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I can't leave here!" Xiao Qing was embarrassed: "You have also seen it, these people are also anxious to ask me for calligraphy and painting today?" ”

Zhou Chuan sighed: "But that's the son of the Taishi, you can't be lazy, we are powerless businessmen, wouldn't it be self-destructive to do anything to them?" Someone can crush us to death with a single finger. ”

Xiao Qing knew that what Zhou Chuan said was true, they really couldn't afford to offend the son of the master, those people were too far away for them, and when they went to Beijing, they pulled out a random person, and they were all nobles, and the difference between them and their identities was too big, and offending them was like walking on the edge of a knife, accidentally falling to death.
