Everyone in Yangzhou City knows that there are two extremely ugly statues in front of the city lord's gate.
The uncle admired the craftsman who carved the statue. It is not difficult to make the statue ugly. It takes skill to make it so ugly.
But since Yu Sheng has already spoken about this, the uncle can only nod in agreement.
After getting back on the road, Maomao led the female donkey and skipped the long queue and walked directly to the city gate, entering the city as everyone watched.
As soon as they entered the city, they were greeted by a lively atmosphere. The stalls of vendors lined the streets to greet them, and pedestrians filled the narrow roads.
Maomao walks through this street on weekdays without slowing down, and is quite adept at passing through thousands of flowers without letting any of the leaves touch her body.
However, today when faced with so many people, I had to stop and move forward step by step. This was even when the people saw Maomao and gave way.
Before the crowds of people could crush the newly fallen snowflakes into dust, the noisy atmosphere had already melted the coldness, making people feel impatient even while walking in it.
They slowly squeezed into the square and then parted ways. Maomao took Miss Zhao to the City Lord's Mansion, while Fu Nan took him to Zhaixing Tower and took away the uncle at the same time.
The three of them, Yu Sheng, stayed and set up a stall next to Scarface, who was selling winter bamboo shoots.
"Lamps are for sale, lamps are for sale, the leader of the Eastern Wasteland Alliance has changed his career to selling lamps, come and buy them." Following Yu Sheng's instructions, Ye Zi shouted loudly.
Bai Gaoxing was beside him and helped add: "A lamp costs ten cents. If you buy it for ten cents, you will suffer a loss. If you buy it for ten cents, you will not be fooled."
Scarface's bald man shouted "Winter bamboo shoots, fresh winter bamboo shoots" from the side.
After listening to Bai Gaoxing next to me selling too much, I accidentally became "Winter bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots for ten cents."
Immediately, the people gathered around stopped and chose to wait and see. Ten cents a pound for winter bamboo shoots was still very expensive.
"Your uncle, what are you shouting for?" Scarface patted the bald man on the head and hurriedly explained to the people surrounding the stall.
The bald head said aggrievedly: "It's all the shopkeeper's fault. The guy with ten cents and ten cents next to him made me shout "ten cents" too."
But I have to say that Yu Sheng's ten cents were very attractive, and many people gathered around him.
Yangzhou has the custom of hanging lanterns during the Chinese New Year.
However, because the city chief organizes lantern festivals and selects the most beautiful lanterns, the people have different needs for lanterns.
The uncle's lamps were really well made, and they were not very expensive for ten cents. They attracted many people to buy them.
Yu Sheng is responsible for collecting money. Recently, all he has received are bank certificates. Suddenly he received real money. Yu Sheng is not to mention how happy he is. His face lights up with joy.
Ye Zigao turned around in the midst of his busy schedule, saw the smile on Yu Sheng's face, and reminded: "Shopkeeper, none of this money belongs to you."
"I want you to talk more." The smile on Yu Sheng's face suddenly decreased by 30%, but soon started to spread again, "Of course I know, but now I am addicted to money.
"As a money addict, we should be happy for every penny we come into contact with, regardless of whether it is ours or not." Yu Sheng said plausibly.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Yu, you really do all kinds of business." Tian Shi slowly squeezed into the crowd and was surprised when he saw it was Yu Shengsan.
"That's our shopkeeper, and we also do other people's business." Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but handed Tian Shi two lanterns, "Twenty cents, thank you for your patronage."
"Hey, I didn't say buy a lamp. I'll force you to buy it." Tian Shi said cheerfully.
"Bang", he slapped Tian Shi on the shoulder, making him squat down slightly.
"What are you doing here if you don't want to buy a lamp?" Zhou Jiufeng's voice came from behind him.
"I'm warning you." Zhou Jiufeng lectured Tian Shi, "If you annoy Shopkeeper Yu again and drag me into guarding the city gate, you will never think of standing up to pee again."
Tian Shi was excited, "No way, I'm just here to buy lamps, but I don't like these two lamps."
Tian Shi pushed the two lanterns back, pointed at the two lifelike white fox lanterns and said, "Bring me two of these lanterns."
"What if I invite two beautiful fox demons to accompany me?" Tian Shi said jokingly and took the lamp.
"Well, be careful about attracting male foxes." Ye Zigao immediately picked up the conversation.
Yu Sheng gave him a kick, "How do you talk? Do you know how to do business? Even if you can attract a male fox, you have to say you are a female fox."
"Yes, yes", Ye Zigao listened to the instruction, "Besides, male foxes are not bad. There are quite a few Zhangtai Roads behind Zhaixing Tower."
"I've booked this cart." Zhou Jiufeng pointed to the cart of lanterns and said to Yu Sheng after pushing Tian Shi back who had received the lanterns.
The whole Zhou family is worried about the lanterns.
I heard that the winner on the day of the lantern festival will receive a gift prepared by the city lord, which may be a magic weapon or something.
As the last member of the Four Families, the Zhou family certainly wanted to take the opportunity to obtain the magic weapon and show off their power in front of the Four Families.
After directing his subordinates to make some lanterns, the elders in the family were not satisfied, especially after Zhou Dafu inspected other families' lanterns.
Now when Zhou Jiufeng saw this cart of lanterns, he thought it was good and wanted to wrap it up without hesitation.
"No." Surprisingly, the first person who refused was Yu Sheng.
So Zhou Jiufeng asked him in surprise: "You took the wrong medicine, I don't even want to give you any money."
"When I do business, I believe that a gentleman loves his money and gets it wisely." Yu Sheng pointed to the people surrounding the car, "There are so many people, so it's inappropriate for you to keep them all."
Other people also looked at Zhou Jiufeng, wondering how many more they were planning to buy.
"It makes sense." Zhou Jiufeng gave Yu Sheng a thumbs up, "Shopkeeper Yu, you have raised the lower limit of my understanding of you."
After hearing this, Yu Sheng was very happy at first, but then he reacted, "That's not right, the leader of this alliance used to have such a low limit in your mind."
"Buy a lamp, buy a lamp." Zhou Jiufeng hurriedly interrupted the topic. It would be bad if he was punished to guard the city gate during the Chinese New Year.
"After these people buy the lanterns, all the leftovers will be given to me. That's it, right?" Zhou Jiufeng pointed to the people surrounding the circle.
"If that doesn't work, we won't want the rest?" Zhuang Zisheng squeezed in from behind and put his arms around Zhou Jiufeng's waist.
"Pah", Zhou Jiufeng swatted it away, "What's the matter with Zhuang? Are you here to tear me down?"
"How dare I, but you can't take all of these beautiful lanterns, shopkeeper Yu, what do you think?" Zhuang Zisheng tried to use Yu Sheng as a shield.
"I'm not stupid." Yu Sheng muttered in his heart, happily watching the excitement, "You can discuss it among yourselves, haha."
He raised his eyebrows at Tian Shi at the same time, and when Tian Shi came closer, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Did these two people quarrel recently?"
"No." Tian Shi glanced angrily, "These two are doing fine. They are usually an eyesore in front of us."
"Then this is?"
"Oh, in order to win the first place in the lantern festival."
Tian Shi's voice became even lower, "Mr. Zhuang has announced that Zhuang is determined to win the first place in the lantern festival this time, and after he gets it, he will ask the city lord to allow them to get married."
"They can just go into the bridal chamber by themselves. Why bring trouble to my little aunt?" Yu Sheng said the word "little aunt" very seriously.
"Hey, our commander-in-chief said this week that if Yangzhou is uneasy, why should we take care of our family, so Mr. Zhuang is just waiting."
Tian Shi was a little gloating about his misfortune, he probably ate too much dog food.
