It was not clear in the east, and Nie Yunzhu was sitting on the steps in front of the small building, holding his chin and talking with some distress.
"A few days ago, just like Mr. Ning said, I went to see the stewards of several nearby restaurants, but they said that no one had eaten this before, and it was too expensive, so they wouldn't sell it on their counters."
After all, productivity is insufficient these days. Foods such as rice, flour, and grains are meant to satisfy hunger and are relatively cheap. Meat and eggs are a bit expensive. According to the ratio, if a pancake costs two cents a piece, it can be regarded as one dollar.
In RMB, a salted egg worth ten cents is five yuan each, while preserved eggs are sold for twenty cents under Ning Yi's suggestion, which is close to the meaning of luxury goods. In this well-off family, people only occasionally eat meat and eggs.
In recent years, it is naturally difficult to sell such things.
Of course, there are still many rich people in Jiangning. As far as brothels are concerned, the more popular girls have to enter the house three times - that is, three taels of silver and three thousand coins - sing, dance, and sleep three times, which means a total of nine
Guan, four thousand five hundred yuan a time. No matter how high the price of a girl who sells her body is, it is an extreme exception. If she is not selling her body, such as Yuan Jin'er, Lu Caicai, Qilan, the former Nie Yunzhu and others, the price will be even higher. This
There is no limit, but there are always a bunch of people waiting to throw money. If you are stingy, you will not be allowed in. If you are still stingy after entering, you will naturally not be tolerated next time. Just like Su Tan'er's brothers every time
Extorting dozens of taels of silver from her would be a huge sum of money for an ordinary person, but if you really want to be extravagant and have a group of bad friends, it is only a matter of one or two times.
People who are willing to spend 9,000 yuan to find a girl may not be willing to eat 20 yuan of preserved eggs at a roadside stall, but at least it proves that this purchasing power is still available in Jiangning.
If you want to sell it for twenty cents, you have to find some relatively high-end places nearby, famous teahouses and restaurants, and ask them to help sell it on consignment. But this is a new thing after all. You say I sell an egg for twenty cents.
Just, help me, I am not a philanthropic person. Nie Yunzhu used to be very talented in various talents. She was beautiful and could be considered a talented woman, but these skills naturally cannot be used to negotiate business in a strict manner. This twenty cents is salty.
The egg consignment deal, on the other hand, did not come to fruition. Two restaurant stewards did not talk to her at all, and one who saw her beauty but came out to sell pancakes wanted to do anything with her, so she left directly.
This is naturally a blow to Nie Yunzhu, who wants to get rid of her previous identity and work hard to make money and live like an ordinary person. However, she is also stubborn. If ordinary people encounter such a thing, I am afraid they will consider not selling preserved eggs, but
She didn't see such a plan here. Ning Yi was sweating profusely from running all the way, playing with a copper plate in his hand, and then smiled: "Speaking of which, I made a bet with someone recently.
They say you can buy these preserved eggs in a month."
"Buy it?"
"Well, I must sell at least twenty or thirty pieces every day."
"...Uh." Nie Yunzhu thought for a while, then laughed, "I will try my best to sell thirty pieces. In fact... maybe I can deposit a batch to Jinfeng Tower..."
Nie Yunzhu obviously hesitated for a long time before saying this. What she was thinking at this time was obviously different from what Ning Yi was thinking. In her opinion, Ning Yi has a good personality and is a maverick and humorous person.
He is a talented man, but he has nothing to do with business. Now that he has invented this preserved egg and asked himself to help sell it, he may be bragging to others. This is human nature. If he cannot sell so much, he will lose face.
If there was really nothing she could do, she probably wouldn't consider Jinfeng Tower again. Although the mother in the building abided by the contract and never forced her to do anything, she was not necessarily a kind person. She couldn't repay the favor she owed.
, but in any case, using such a relationship is probably the only way she can think of at this time.
When Ning Yi heard her talking about Jinfeng Tower, he was slightly stunned, and then he realized: "It doesn't have to be like this." He shook his head, and then pointed to the shed where the trolley was parked, "Let's close the stall early today at noon.
, repackage the car, it’s too simple like this now, it won’t sell for twenty cents.”
"Package?"
"Uh...just decorate it as you like."
Nie Yunzhu nodded, expressing his understanding with doubtful eyes...
After school was over at noon, Ning Yi went to the market to eat, and then bought various paints, large and small brushes, and brought the brushes to Nie Yunzhu. Only then did Nie Yunzhu know what he wanted to do. In the afternoon, Ning Yi washed the car clean, and Ning Yi used chalk to do it.
After some simple composition and speculation for a while, I moved a low stool and sat down to start writing.
Nie Yunzhu couldn't help at this time, but occasionally squatted nearby to watch for a while. When he returned to the room and saw Hu Tao, Hu Tao said: "Master Ning wants to paint on the cart to sell preserved eggs?"
"I think so."
"But, can paint be used for painting well..."
"Many lacquerwares are also painted with lacquer. Mr. Ning... I think he has dabbled in this art..."
Nie Yunzhu was actually a little worried. Playing, chess, calligraphy and painting were elegant studies. Whether Ning Yi was good at painting was another matter. But with his current reputation, he was painting on such a cart just to sell the preserved eggs. If anyone knew about it,
, fearing that he will be criticized again. The better the painting, the greater the risk.
On the other hand, Hu Tao is actually not in a good mood. She has been worried about the young lady recently. Ever since it was confirmed on New Year's Eve that Ning Yi, who was interacting with the young lady, was the number one talent and was really talented, her worries
It's getting better day by day. For her, although she also wants to get married to Erniu as soon as possible, she doesn't feel at ease if the young lady doesn't have a destination. Now the young lady seems to have a good impression of this person, but this is nothing, as the young lady said
That way: unmarable.
The other party is a surrogate son-in-law. Even if the young lady likes him, there will be no consequences at all. The more talented the man is, the deeper the young lady will fall into and not be able to like others. The Su family is very powerful. If the other party's wife finds out,
This matter came to my door. What should I do? Thinking about it this way, I became more and more anxious.
Ning Yi also called Nie Yunzhu out once during the process and asked her whether it would be better to call this stall "Nie Ji" or "Bamboo Kee". Nie Yunzhu thought about it and chose Bamboo Kee.
In the evening, the sunset shone from the side of the bend of the Qinhuai River, and the decoration of the car was finally completed. When Nie Yunzhu went over to look at it, she felt a little stunned: she had never seen this style of painting before!
It’s not that the painting is bad, it’s that the painting is too good and too bizarre. The composition of the painting on the car is three-dimensional.
Nowadays, with paint, there are naturally various patterns and styles of lacquerware, whether delicate or rough, but the car in front of you is definitely unique in the entire era. The picture is actually simple, just a few bamboos symbolizing
After the rain, a corner of the bamboo forest is hidden in the mist. On one side is a scene of a preserved egg cut into four parts, which is not very lifelike. The words "Bamboo Remembers Songhua Egg" float on the picture——
However, the picture is three-dimensional.
For Ning Yi, it is just a simple technique to control the imbalance of the proportions of various parts of the picture to achieve the effect of the bamboo forest inserting into the field of vision. The five words "Bamboo Remembers Songhua Egg" combined with the floating shadows have a feeling of falling or falling in the mist.
It's a floating effect, but the painting of the preserved egg is not satisfactory. I can't match the beautiful and appropriate color at the moment, so I can only make it look as beautiful as possible. Since the paint will look blurry when mixed, Ning Yi painted it in different colors.
Clear black lines are carefully added to the edges of each pattern, which creates a more obvious conflict and three-dimensional effect. If this car is rolled out, it will definitely attract the attention of passers-by at the first time. And it is different from mainstream paintings.
Others would only think it was a trick thought up by a businessman, but not a picture carefully drawn by a certain talented person.
The conditions were limited, but looking at the surprised look on the other party's face, in general, Ning Yi was satisfied with the results. Probably thinking of Ning Yi's weird taste in music, Nie Yunzhu said: "Li Heng is also good at painting.
It's so...well, so strange, this style has never been seen in Yunzhu before, but it almost looks like it is growing out of the car wall..."
For things like pictures, if you adopt a more realistic style, the impact at first sight will be simple. This is different from the taste of music. Nie Yunzhu almost wanted to reach out and touch the pillar, but Ning Yi stopped her with a smile.
, then pointed to the awning above.
"The paint is not dry, so don't touch it. The awning above needs to be changed. I will buy it tomorrow. The paint is not dry these days, and you can't do business. Uh... we need to prepare some things, pretty little
Dishes, various sauces, vinegar, tofu, there are many ways to eat them, and they have to look clean and beautiful. Well, this is the first step..." Ning Yi calculated, "After these things are done, we will deal with those restaurants.
A stubborn problem..."
In the afternoons of the next few days, things were done step by step, including beautiful dishes, purchasing various sauces, and various ways to eat them. Ning Yi came over every afternoon, and Nie Yunzhu also seemed happy, but Hu Tao was not happy.
When I arrived, I complained to the lady: “Miss, it’s not worth buying those things at all…”
Ning Yi chose very beautiful dishes. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are not very practical and expensive. Although half of these things are paid for by Ning Yi and are considered as stock investments, in Hutao's view, this
It doesn't make sense. There isn't much money at home. If you save some money, the lady can still use it for a while. But now, it's just that Ning Yi is spending money randomly, and the lady is unwilling to refuse.
, I can only follow along. When the time comes, Mr. Ning doesn’t care about wasting money, but what can the young lady do? She will also spend her last fortune.
"As for Hu Tao, Mr. Ning must be very talented and learned. There's no need to say that. But he may not know how to do business. We are just setting up a small stall. How can we be so particular about it? Miss, you can't accompany him to fool around.
It's over! We can't afford to mess around..."
"Mr. Ning is a man of true talent and learning. Since he is so confident, I naturally believe in him. Before the end, Hu Tao, how did you know that there was nothing he could do?" In fact, Nie Yunzhu had no confidence in his heart, but naturally he could only trust Hu Tao.
Say this.
"Have you seen many people with talent and learning?" Hu Tao retorted, "Talent and learning are talents and doing business is doing business. Don't those talented and educated people still gamble and lose money and end up penniless in the end? Although Hu Tao doesn't understand, but see
There are so many small stalls on the street, they all look like this. Those big restaurants or brothels are completely different. Miss, when Mr. Ning entered the home of a merchant, I heard that his wife was in charge of the Su family.
Awesome, maybe he just can't swallow this breath and uses the lady as a test..."
"Shut up!" Nie Yunzhu's eyes narrowed and interrupted her.
Hu Tao stood there with her lips pursed for a long time, tears rolling down her eyes. Then she gritted her teeth and said: "Miss, you also know that you can't marry Mr. Ning. If Miss can, then Hu Tao can't."
Let’s not talk anymore…”
After saying this, there was no sound in the room for a long time. Nie Yunzhu sat on the edge of the bed, leaning on the bed frame next to her. Her eyes occasionally changed. After a long time, the lamp shadow flickered, and she closed her eyes hard: "I
I know..." When he opened it again, he smiled slightly.
"Hu Tao, you should go to bed too, it's getting late..."
