Taking Magistrate Tang as a reference, the characters in Bai Shan's paintings gradually became fuller. After looking at the painting, Zhou Lang nodded repeatedly, then felt a little dizzy, and immediately stopped his head. He only exclaimed with his mouth: "That's right.
Yes, that's it, but you still made it look better. His forehead is not so straight, nor is it so wide. It needs to be narrower, and the eyes are a bit big..."
Bai Shan slowly revised it, and Zhou Lang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he shouted: "That's right, this guy is the one who blocked the car."
Man Bao looked at it carefully and said, "Fourth brother, isn't this a sharp-mouthed monkey with good cheeks? It's obviously pretty good."
"Is this okay? It's obviously so ugly."
Bai Shan said pertinently: "She looks very ordinary. She is indeed not as ugly as Brother Zhou said."
County Magistrate Tang said: "You are ordinary-looking, and your talents are not easily recognized."
He glanced at Zhou Lang approvingly and said with a smile: "When people are robbed, they will immediately see the appearance of the person blocking the car. After the disaster, they will forget it. Some people don't even know how many people were there.
, I can even forget what happened during that period of time, let alone remember the person’s appearance, you did a great job.”
Zhou Lang laughed happily, but he still said modestly, "No, no, mainly because my family members are smarter, you can tell just by looking at my younger sister."
Magistrate Tang smiled politely, stood up and said, "Then tell me what the person you beat looks like. I'll go talk to Mr. Zhuang first."
He doesn't want to stay here as a template anymore.
But Zhou Lang didn't mind either. He felt more at ease when Magistrate Tang was not here.
As for the reference object, what’s the big deal? Isn’t one already drawn?
At this moment, Zhou Lang felt that the two of them looked similar, both ugly and vicious.
But after some description, the people drawn by Bai Shan were different. Not to mention, the people painted looked quite similar to real people.
Bai Shan handed the two painted paintings to the Tang County magistrate.
Magistrate Tang looked at it carefully, nodded and praised: "I didn't expect you to be so good at fine brushwork. You are only twelve years old, right?"
Man Bao said from the side: "The main thing is that the gentleman who teaches painting is good."
Bai Shan glanced at her and said, "You are obviously talented, otherwise the same gentleman would never see you draw so well."
Man Bao snorted and turned his head to ignore him.
Magistrate Tang said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhuang to be good at meticulous painting."
Mr. Zhuang on the side smiled and waved his hands: "This is not me."
Bai Shan proudly said: "Our painting was taught by my mother."
Magistrate Tang was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "It seems that you are really talented."
Bai Shan proudly raised his eyebrows at Manbao.
Manbao:……
Magistrate Tang put away the portrait and said with a smile: "Just leave this matter to me, and I will give your fourth brother justice. However, your fourth brother is injured now, what about the grain I ordered?"
Man Bao blinked, of course he had to ask Zhou Lang about this kind of business matter.
Zhou Lang was robbed of a cart of wheat seeds and the money he had on him. He was feeling extremely distressed. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Master Tang, although I am injured, I still have brothers."
Although the profit from doing business with Mr. Tang was small, the volume was huge. Lijun had already calculated for him the amount of money he could make from this business, and he would not give up anyway.
He looked at Man Bao and said, "I asked Man Bao to write a letter home, and the wheat seeds will be shipped in a few days."
Magistrate Tang then smiled and said, "That's good. As you know, this wheat seed needs to be sown in spring, as soon as spring starts, so you have to pay it all before the year. It's all written in the contract.
"
Of course, this was no problem before. Zhou Lang could make a round trip in three days. Even if it took a little longer to harvest wheat seeds, he could pull back a cart in four days at most.
But now he is lying on the bed, obviously unable to do so.
But Zhou Lang gritted his teeth and agreed: "Don't worry."
Magistrate Tang left feeling very relieved.
Manbao twisted the cloth and wiped her fourth brother's forehead, and asked, "Does your headache hurt?"
"pain."
"Don't think about the pain," Man Bao said, "What a big deal, Fourth Brother, if you don't worry, I will help you solve it."
"How do you deal with it? There are bandits on this road. What if big brother and the others come over and encounter bandits?" Although Zhou Lang was relieved, in fact he was still scared in his heart. He clasped his fingers and said, "Even if big brother comes, they will also encounter bandits."
When they all come, there are only five of them, but there are more than a dozen of them."
Bai Shandao: "They just robbed it once, and they shouldn't dare to do it again in the short term."
"You are all guessing," Zhou Lang felt extremely distressed when he thought of the wheat seeds that were taken away, and said, "What if they taste the sweetness and then rush out and steal it again?"
Man Bao nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, that's right. Smart people should never try to figure out what fools think. It's easy to make mistakes."
Bai Shan & Zhou Lang:......
Man Bao continued: "It's just a small matter that the wheat seeds are robbed. If there is a conflict, what if someone is beaten and broken? So what we have to do is to directly pinch the small flames of their robbery."
Bai Shan asked: "How to pinch?"
Man Bao: "Aren't there a dozen of them? We can just find twenty or thirty people. I don't believe they dare to rob!"
Zhou Lang: "My sister, how much money do you make per truckload of grain? I feel like I'm losing money if I let all five of my brothers come to transport grain. You still hire twenty or thirty people."
Bai Shan was thoughtful.
Man Bao despised Fourth Brother, "Fourth Brother, what are you thinking? Of course it's impossible for twenty or thirty people to escort just one car. At the end, it will have to be more than ten or twenty cars. Maybe we will ask the Tang County Magistrate for it in one go."
The grain seeds have been shipped."
Zhou Lang was stunned and asked: "Where did our car come from? You don't want those people to pick it up on their shoulders, do you?"
Bai Shanze asked: "Does your family have that much money?"
He said: "The car is not urgent, you can rent it, but you can buy so much grain at one time, and Magistrate Tang doesn't give you a deposit. If you want to buy so much grain, you have to pay it in advance. Do you have so much cash at home?"
?”
She didn't know how much money her family had, but she knew how much money she had, and her family's money was only more than hers, not less.
So it should be enough, but she is afraid that her father will not dare to do this business.
However, Magistrate Tang is trustworthy and he does not seem to be short of money. In this case, the risk is worth taking.
So Man Bao nodded.
Bai Shan said: "Then you write home first and ask them to go to each village to buy suitable wheat seeds. They are sure to buy enough wheat seeds there. We will hire people and cars here to go back."
Pull here."
"Wait, wait," Zhou Lang couldn't lie still anymore. He supported half of his body with his right hand, stretched out his hand to stop them, and said, "Why do we need to hire people and cars here? Our family is not short of people. Even if
Our family doesn’t have enough people, so what about the people in the village? People in the city are too expensive and you may not be trustworthy. If you want to hire people, you have to find them from the village, right?"
After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong. I felt like I was being taken in, so I said, "No, how much does it cost to buy so many wheat seeds at once?"
