Chapter 072: Selling Yourself
In fact, how did they know that the reason why Qin Lao agreed to come over was because the Zuo family started today, and he went to support Liang Cao.
Baiwei Xuan is a century-old restaurant in Kyoto, which has a lot of authentic northern cuisine, and the private rooms here need to be booked in advance.
Although Liang Cao and his party came to Kyoto in advance, with Zuo Mingyu's status, they still arrived at the private room, and the three cars came to the main gate, and a few small ones were attracted by the characteristic gate.
Liang Cao glanced at these buildings, but Tian Dongxi's eyes widened excitedly, "Wow, it's so beautiful here, I feel like I can be full without eating." β
Tian Dongsheng really wanted to give his sister a brain melon stick, "Wait a minute, you can watch us eat and satisfy your wishes." β
Tang Sanshao hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, "Sister Xiaoxi, this is straightforward, don't bully her all the time." β
"Brother, you always bully me like this, you will lose my lovely sister, it's better to be the third young brother."
Zhu Shengkang also hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Xiaoxi, wait a minute, let's sit together, what do you want to eat, I'll clip it for you." β
The greeter brought a few people into the private room and asked with a smile, "Guest, what kind of tea or drink do you need?" β
Qin Lao hummed and said, "Come to Hulongjing, and a few more bottles of drinks." β
The waiter's speed was very fast, tea and snacks were served, several people looked at the recipe, Zuo Liang handed it to a few people to take turns to read, "What do you want to eat, order whatever you want, my dad has a treat." β
Old Qin snorted coldly, "Old man Zuo is rare to be generous once, you can order whatever you want, you don't need to save for them." β
Suddenly, a neutral male voice came from the door, "I said Old Qintou, you have eaten my white food so many times, don't you admit it if you pull it?" He actually said bad things about me behind my back, and next time I came to play chess, I would bring tea myself. β
"Nonsense, you didn't rub my house less, if I didn't happen to find out today, didn't you plan to call me?"
Zuo Mingyu hurriedly apologized and said: "Uncle Qin, I heard that you are not feeling well and don't like to go out, so I didn't invite you, it is indeed what I did inappropriately, wait for me to give you a drink." β
Zuo Changning stepped into the private room and locked his eyes on Liang Cao's body, a thin little girl with ordinary facial features, but a pair of eyes were very clear and bright.
Seeing a few people coming in, a few small ones stood up one after another to salute, "Grandpa Zuo, Grandma Zuo, Uncle Zuo and Aunt Zuo." β
Ji Junmei and Ye Fengqin also looked at Liang Cao, this was Zuo Liang's life-saving benefactor.
Ji Junmei smiled and said, "They are all good children, sit down, and order whatever you want." β
The waiter came in to make tea and asked with a smile, "Have all the guests arrived?" Is it ready to be served? β
Zuo Mingyu bowed his head, "Just serve the dishes they ordered directly." β
Qin Lao hurriedly stopped: "Xiao Yu, this can't be done, in order to help you save money, they don't order any dishes, you can add some more." β
"Uncle Qin is right, I'll order more."
This is a large round table, a total of 12 people sit, ordering 15 dishes and desserts after the meal, Zuo Mingyu knows the amount of food these people.
The delicacies were quickly served, the aroma was overflowing, and a few of them were drooling, but they still endured it with great restraint.
Qin Lao laughed and said, "The little ones are hungry, right?" You're welcome, let's eat. β
These people had all eaten with Qin Lao in Haishi, so they were not so restrained, and they all looked at Zuo Changning in unison, and Zuo Changning also changed his previous seriousness, and agreed with a smile: "Let's move chopsticks and eat while it's hot." β
It was the first time for the three members of the Tian family and Zhu Shengkang to dine at such a formal dinner, and they were very restrained, but they still knew the rules very well, and they only moved the chopsticks to pick up the dishes after the elders had moved.
It can be seen from the expressions of enjoyment on their faces that they like to eat these dishes very much, and several old people are secretly observing Liang Cao.
After all, Liang Cao is a person who has lived for thousands of people, this little battle is trivial, these people are juniors in her eyes, sitting dignified and straight.
The movement of picking up vegetables is elegant, and the aura of dining overshadows everyone, it seems that she is the most shining existence here, and the three elders face Liang Cao at this time, but they feel that Liang Cao is the elder.
Swallowing the shock in their hearts, several elders did not speak, and a few of them adhered to the dining etiquette of eating without saying a word.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Zuo Mingyu coughed dryly twice, faced Liang Cao and asked, "Cao'er, how many paintings have you prepared this time?" Can the framing be negotiated? β
Liang Cao swallowed the food in his mouth and replied lightly: "I'm afraid that the funds raised will not be enough, so I prepared a hundred pieces, and they promised to send them on time before the 15th." β
Zuo Liang also signed the agreement just now, only to know that there are a total of 100 paintings, anyway, if the booth is not enough, wait for those to be sold and then hang up, after all, it still needs a lot of money to prepare a venue for an exhibition of 100 paintings in Kyoto.
Zuo Mingyu originally just wanted to bring up the topic, but he was startled by Liang Cao's fluttering number, and was directly choked, coughed a few times, and then asked uncertainly: "You have painted hundreds of paintings in the past twenty days?" β
Liang Cao took a sip and said leisurely: "It doesn't take long to paint one, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell it if I paint too much, so I prepared a hundred, and I won't paint again for a while." β
Qin Lao and Zuo Changning glanced at each other, although they hadn't seen the painting yet, Zuo Mingyu would not do such an uncertain thing, and they were all looking forward to the arrival of the 15th.
Ji Junmei hurriedly interrupted: "Cao'er is still so young, and she is tired enough to paint so many paintings, so let her eat well." β
Ye Fengqin also agreed: "That's it, Zuozuo, take good care of the grass, help her clip more meat, and let her make up for it." β
Zuo Liang's eyes lit up, "Mom, what do you mean?" β
How could Ye Fengqin not know Zuo Liang's careful thoughts, and glanced at Ji Junmei, the meal was eaten like this, and everyone ate a round belly.
The waiter served tea and fruit again, Ji Junmei and Ye Fengqin took out a few boxes of jewelry from their bags and handed them to several children, and when they saw the packaging box, it was very valuable, and they all looked at Liang Cao, Liang Cao nodded and said: "The elder can't give up, take it." β
Ji Junmei chuckled: "Cao'er is right, this is a meeting gift for you, you're welcome, just take it." β
"Thank you, Grandma Zuo."
The boxes are very beautiful, even if they want to see the things inside, several people don't dare to open them at this time, but Ye Fengqin reminded: "Open it and see if you like it?" β
Since Zuo's mother said so, it was naturally not good to save face, so they were careful to open the box, which contained a jade pendant, which happened to be her own attribute jade pendant.
Liang Cao raised his eyes and swept it, "It seems that they have prepared gifts with great care." β
Zuo Liang leaned to Liang Cao's side and whispered, "Cao'er, don't you open it and take a look?" β
Liang Cao had seen a lot of spiritual jade in her previous life, and she was not interested in these, but Zuo Liang said that she didn't look at it alone, and she was a little unhappy, and she gently opened the box.
Inside was also a jade pendant, but it was different from the others, and there was a rune engraved on it.
Zuo Liang was shocked by this jade pendant, and looked at Ji Junmei in disbelief, followed by a burst of ecstasy, Qin Lao also noticed the abnormality, looked over here, and scolded in surprise: "Okay, you old guy, you actually thought of the idea of beating the little girl." β
A few small people came over to see Liang Cao's meeting gift, and were shocked by Qin Lao's voice, and they all looked at Zuo Changning, Zuo Changning said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the grace of saving lives should be promised by oneself, is there anything wrong with this?" β
Xiaohua laughed in the space: "Haha... I'm laughing to death, master, you came to Kyoto to sell paintings, and now you have sold yourself, so you don't have to worry about no one asking for it. β
