Chapter 256: Selling calligraphy and paintings

After Ning Meng learned about this, he was very excited: "I want to go with you too!" ”

The last time they found those precious herbs in the cave, she was so excited that she forgot to go with him to buy them, so she couldn't miss them in her life anyway.

She didn't just want to join in the fun, she wanted to take the opportunity to learn medicinal diet. After all, the name of a dietitian is not called for nothing. Moreover, ancient medicinal materials were scarce, and if she was free, she had to try to find medicinal materials to replenish them.

Ning Wenbo hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay, you can come along." It's just that we have to say it in advance, no matter what we see, don't touch it. ”

He didn't want her to get hurt because she was playful.

Ning Meng understood the warning in his words, stuck out his tongue, and didn't dare to talk nonsense again.

They came to the town and found the shopkeeper of the restaurant and explained their intentions. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, and after listening to their request, he immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

"Your request is very reasonable, and we do have some stock in our shop. But...... Alas, I can only do things according to the rules. The shopkeeper sighed regretfully, and then beckoned to the man: "Ah Shun, bring five egg cakes for the guests to taste." ”

Ning Meng looked at the shopkeeper, and when he saw that he looked apologetic, he could only take the five egg cakes in disappointment.

The shopkeeper said: "Don't hide the objectivity of the two of you, there has been a strange illness in the town in recent days, and many foods have been poisoned or eaten badly, resulting in the town being unable to sell things, and even grain, oil, cloth and other goods are unsalable. ”

The shopkeeper's words made Ning Wenbo and Ning Meng both frown, and their thoughts were different.

"I have a suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Ning Meng suddenly opened his mouth and asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Girl, you say." ”

"Actually, my brother and sister are planning to open a restaurant. Although you don't have any grain, oil, cloth or anything like that in your town, you should still have some reserves for egg cakes, right? If our brother and sister can ensure that the omelet tastes better than what is sold in the market, the price will definitely be lower than it is now. Ning Meng said, took out twenty taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper, "This is a deposit, pay twenty taels in advance, if it is successful, the remaining twenty taels will be settled within half a month." ”

It's not a lot of money, but it's enough to surprise the shopkeeper. He took the silver ticket, and after a moment of careful consideration, he said, "The girl's proposal is good. But can you really guarantee that your omelet will taste better than what you sell in the market? If it doesn't taste good......"

"Don't worry, I promise it won't be too bad." Ning Meng patted his chest with confidence and promised, then turned around and pulled his brother away.

After walking a distance, she couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that it would be popular to open restaurants in this world." Well, in that case, my small business will definitely be affected. But ......" Ning Meng bit her lip and continued: "I won't give up." This kind of opportunity to make money is once in a lifetime, and if you give it up, don't count on it in the future. ”

She had already decided, this restaurant, she had to get it up.

Since there were ready-made cooks to use, why wouldn't she do it.

Ning Wenbo saw that his sister looked resolute, so he let her toss. Anyway, he believes that his sister will not harm him.

When Ning Meng returned to Ningjia Village, he happened to meet Ning Wenwu and his wife. She hurriedly greeted her and shouted, "Auntie, auntie, I'm back." ”

"Yo, the dream girl is back, why did you come back so early today?" Wang looked at her with a smile.

"Well, after today's business, I'll hurry back and save me from delaying tomorrow's things." Ning Meng said with a smile, and then took Wang's arm and coquettishly said: "Auntie, I'm so hungry, take me to eat something." ”

Wang was amused: "Okay, come with me." ”

They walked in front, Ning Meng took a step behind and peeked at Ning Wenwu. He seemed to be thin, his skin was dark and yellow, and his clothes were torn in several places. In Ning Meng's memory, Ning Wenwu has always been a clean and gentle reader, but his current appearance is completely different from what he remembers.

She lowered her eyes to hide the complicated emotions in her eyes, pursed her lips lightly, and silently followed behind, walking towards home.

Along the way, Ning Meng kept asking, "Auntie, why don't you go to the market today?" ”

"It's not that this stinky boy in the family is not angry, every time he fails the exam, the old man scolds him so badly, he is afraid of being beaten, so he doesn't dare to go to the market." Wang's tone was quite disgusted, and he said, "Hey, I don't know what happened to your brother." ”

Ning Wenwu raised his head when he heard the words and looked at Ning Meng: "Second sister, Dad, they didn't embarrass you, right?" "Their family has become like this now, it is all Ning Meng's fault, he feels sorry for the second sister, but he doesn't dare to talk back to his parents. Now that he heard that the second sister was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. But the third uncle, I heard that he was sent to the county government, and I don't know if he will be sentenced? Ning Meng asked pretending to be puzzled.

Ning Wenwu's face stiffened, and he shook his head silently. He didn't know what his dad would do, but he didn't think it would be too serious.

Ning Meng sighed and didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the burden behind Ning Wenwu, and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Huh?" ”

Ning Wenwu's right hand carrying the burden trembled slightly, his cheeks were a little red, and he said uncomfortably: "I...... I have a few calligraphy and paintings here, but my father won't let me give them to Mr. Private School, so I have to bring them back. The second sister helped me find a good family, and these calligraphy and paintings could be sold at a high price. ”

The burden on Ning Wenwu's back was that when he went hunting in the mountains and forests last night, he picked up a pair of calligraphy and a few brushes, thinking that he would keep them for himself and enjoy them slowly. Now his father did not allow him to hand them over to Mr. Private School, so he had to bring them back, hoping to exchange them for money.

When Wang heard this, he immediately smiled and urged: "Okay, okay, if your father doesn't promise you, don't go to the county seat to study, this calligraphy and brush are very good, it's just right to sell them." Dream girl, you say yes, right? ”

Ning Meng was stunned, and then nodded: "Uncle Niang is right, selling these things is really valuable."

Ning Wenwu returned to the house with his baggage on his back and took out the things he had hidden and put them on the table.

Ning Wenhao glanced at the calligraphy and paintings on the table, his eyes flickered, and he didn't speak.

Ning Meng looked at the inkstone in his hand, stretched out his paw and touched it: "Wow, you have found a treasure!" You've picked up a good treasure, why don't you hide it? ”

"I didn't know it was good."

Ning Wenhao looked incredulous, a little unbelievable, and a little incredulous.

Ning Meng looked at him like this, and he really didn't know what to say for a while, and it was a little difficult to speak.

"It's okay, now that I've told you, don't you know?" She said with a smile, and Ning Wenhao instantly felt no more embarrassed.
