Sakura looked at her and pointed to the stool across the table, "You sit, I'll check your pulse." ”

Dongmei sat down and stretched out her wrist.

Sakura Bao took her pulse, looked at her complexion, and asked, "But there is still lochia?" ”

Dongmei shook her head, "It's been refreshing lately." ”

Sakura spread out the paper and wrote the prescription: "I'll change another pair of medicines for you, take it for a few days to consolidate, you are weak, and you have to recuperate." ”

"That's what Xiao Langzhong said." Zhang said on the side: "Thank you Xiaolangzhong for curing my daughter, then, can you sell another can of rootless water to us?" ”

She had just asked the little shopkeeper in front of her, and he said that there was no rootless water.

Sakura Po glanced at her, "Of course, you still have to use that water to decoction the medicine." "Looks like the pupil spring is really useful.

After writing the prescription, it was handed to Zhang's mother and daughter, and asked them to wait in the front shop, while Yingbao went to the stove room and poured pupil spring into a clean jar.

Erni ran over and asked, "Yingbao, the female patient said that she wanted to buy rootless water, ······ you?"

Looking down, the little cousin pointed to a jug of water on the ground: "Take it, this is rootless water." ”

Erni picked up the water jar and looked at the big water tank again, inexplicably empty-hearted.

After another two days, all the preserved fruits made by himself had been sold out, but Jiang Quan bought fifty catties of preserved fruits from elsewhere, as well as some candied fruits.

"Yingbao, we still need to prepare some gift boxes, and they will definitely sell more than now during the New Year." Jiang Quan said while packing the preserved fruits: "I see that there are also gift boxes in other people's pastry shops, and the paintings on the boxes are beautiful." ”

He glanced at his little cousin: "You just write and don't draw, and the gift box is not festive at all." ”

Sakura Bao said angrily: "I haven't learned to draw again, why don't you come?" ”

"I can't draw well." Jiang Quan sighed, and suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Cheng: "Big brother, don't you know, you will paint it in the future." ”

Jiang Cheng had to nod: "I'll try it first." ”

He had studied painting with his master for a few years, but he said that his paintings were dull, brightly colored, and had no spirituality, so he stopped painting much.

Copying the pen and painting again, or painting those rich and noble characters flowers and birds, unexpectedly matched with the gift box.

Jiang Quan picked up the painting of the eldest brother and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It is better than the painting on the gift box of the pastry shop, big brother, the drawings on these gift boxes will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Jiang Cheng glanced at the piles of bamboo boxes and wooden boxes, and resolutely refused: "I can't draw it!" ”

It's okay to paint some occasionally, but if you leave it all to him to paint alone, you won't be able to finish painting without eating or drinking.

Drawing is not like writing, just write it casually, it is a few steps such as depicting and coloring, and it is good to be able to draw three pictures in an hour.

With the hundreds of gift boxes piled up in this room, he had to draw hundreds of pictures, and he felt his scalp tingle when he thought about it.

Ying Bao: "It's better to invite others, the calligraphy and painting of the students in the opposite county are good, if you ask them to paint, it will definitely save time and effort." ”

To draw this kind of soulless auspicious picture of wealth and fortune, students should be able to catch it.

Jiang Quan hurriedly shook his head when he heard this: "Those are all talents, how can they draw this thing for you." ”

"Draw a fixed small painting, ten cents per pair, someone must be willing to do it."

Sakura: "I don't believe you can write a letter of invitation and post it outside, so that someone will ask." ”

Jiang Quan thought about it, found a piece of paper that had not been cut, and wrote on it: hire a painter to draw auspicious Ruyi small paintings, each pair of eight texts.

Then I put this piece of paper on the door.

At the end of the morning, several waves of students walked past the door of the store, saw the invitation posted at the door, smiled at each other, and left one after another.

However, the next day, a scholar came to the door and asked about drawing.

Jiang Quan said what he asked, and saw the scholar asking: "Are the pen, ink, paper and pigments from your family?" ”

"That's nature, but if it's damaged, it's also going to be compensated." Jiang Quan didn't want to take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but he didn't draw a few pictures, wouldn't it be a big loss.

The scholar nodded: "Xiaosheng is willing to try." ”

Jiang Quan glanced at his eldest brother and said, "Then please follow me to the backyard to draw." ”

It is impossible for him to give the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to a stranger to take away, and if he wants to paint, please draw in the shop.

The scholar nodded, followed Jiang Quan to the backyard, and stood at the table under the porch.

The table is used by Sakura, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and paint, which is just right for the scholar to draw.

The scholar sat down on a chair at the table, picked up the small piece of paper that had been cut out, looked at it, picked up the pen and began to draw.

First draw a picture of the full moon with flowers, then draw a peony wealth, and then draw a picture of the five sons of Dengke, and a picture of more than every year.

These four kinds are roughly on the packaging of ordinary goods, and they will be painted according to these four categories in the future.

The scholar draws very quickly, the coloring is bold and bright, although there is no artistic conception, but it is already very good.

Jiang Quan nodded: "Yes, that's all." But you can't just draw, you have to write. ”

"Draw first, then write together." The scholar did not drag his feet, and drew a few more pictures one after another, until he had made up ten sheets, and then began to write in the blank space of the painting.

Of course, it is not to write poems and songs, but to write product introductions and the name of the place of origin.

It wasn't until dark that the scholar finally completed ten small pictures, received eighty yuan from Jiang Quan, and went back to the opposite county to study.

Jiang Quan looked at the ten small pictures with a painful face, and muttered: "Such ten small pictures will cost eighty Wen, Yingbao, we might as well stop drawing, let's write." ”

Sakura Bao: "Writing also needs someone to write, and I can't stay here all the time, I'm afraid that the big brother alone won't be able to do it, that scholar is good at writing and painting, and he won't lose money." ”

"Well, just use it." Jiang Quan thinks about it.

Put away the small picture and set it aside. Asked: "When will you go back to collect the golden fungus?" ”

He couldn't wait to put a batch of golden ears to sell in the store.

"I'll go back after Xiaojie rests."

Yingbao didn't go to the county government to visit Wu Daozi during this time, first, the county order was busy at the end of the year, and he didn't have time to receive her child. Second, because he was also busy, he didn't bother.

But her younger brother Xiaojie soon took a break, and she had to pick him up and go home.

Of course, it's not the home of the township, but the home of Plum Blossom Lane.

On September 15, Jiang Quan drove the carriage to pick up his little cousin at the gate of the county government early in the morning.

I picked up my cousin, went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and meat, and went back to make a big meal.

"Second brother, the teacher asked what specialties were in our shop, and he wanted to buy some and take them back to his hometown." Xiaojie asked the second cousin.

Jiang Quan's eyes lit up when he heard it, "That's a lot, the golden ear snow fungus is a must in our village, and the rest, preserved fruit and puff pastry chestnut cake are all specialties in our shop." ”

"Puff pastry chestnut cake?" Xiaojie heard about this dim sum for the first time, and asked curiously: "Who made it?" Is it tasty? ”

Jiang Quan: "Of course your sister's cooking, of course it's delicious." ”

In recent days, Sakura and Erni have often gone to the dim sum shop, pretending to buy dim sum for a long time.

Sakura Bao relied on her young age and others didn't pay much attention to it, and finally secretly learned how to make chestnut cakes.

"She made a lot of chestnut cakes at home yesterday, and they were delicious. When you go back in the evening, just bring some for your teacher to try. ”

Jiang Quan brought a lot of chestnuts from home, but he didn't know how to sell them.

In the end, the little cousin came up with a way to steal from others and learn to make puff pastry chestnut cake.
