Chapter 489(1/2)
Su Xueyun nodded to the boss lady, "I have painted it all, I don't know if it suits your wishes. You can take a look first, I will change it if there is anything wrong with you."
The boss's wife smiled with satisfaction and said, "You are always so polite, just call me Sister Fang. Come on, sit down and have a sip of tea first, and I'll see what's going on."
Su Xueyun sat down at the small wooden table, glanced at Li Xiner with his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Sister Fang has a guest here? Don't hello, it's not the first time I've been here."
The boss lady looked at Li Xiner and suddenly realized that Li Xiner had just said that she was from Yunshui Village. Isn’t that Su Xueyun’s fellow countryman? She looked at Su Xueyun with some hesitation and tentatively said: “This girl has a few pictures to see if it fits, but I think the pattern is a bit weird. I don’t know if it’s good or bad. Why would Xiuer help me with the palm of her eyes?”
Su Xueyun knew that the boss's wife valued her, for fear that she would accidentally offend someone she knew and would make her have any bad ideas. Usually, Su Xueyun would of course say that it had nothing to do with her, but she glanced at Li Xiner's embarrassing face, curled her lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Since Sister Fang can trust me, I'll ask her best to take a look."
The boss saw that something was coming, and enthusiastically pulled Su Xueyun to the counter and asked her to see a few paintings on the counter.
Li Xiner's face turned red, she grabbed her painting and said hard: "No need, I know whether my appearance is good or not. Since I don't know anything here, I'll go to another house."
The boss's face suddenly became unfavorable. He raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "This business, business, business, is always something you want. Why do I don't like your things and become I don't know anything about it? Our family is the largest embroidery shop in the town. I dare not say anything else, but this kind of eyesight is still a bit, otherwise I wouldn't have dug up the treasure of Xiu'er. What kind of good thing do you think you are and the twelve zodiac signs are? Let's show you what the twelve zodiac signs are like by Xiu'er, and you can also know the gap."
Before the boss could see the paintings drawn by Su Xueyun, he opened them directly on the counter. He obviously trusted Su Xueyun's skills, which made Su Xueyun smile and made Li Xiner's face even more ugly.
The boss lady and Li Xiner went to see the paintings on the counter at the same time. The twelve zodiac signs were painted by Su Xueyun, and the traditional feeling came to the face, making people stare at it with a glance, and they were reluctant to look away. The majestic tiger in the mountains and forests, although it opened its mouth and roared with its sharp teeth, did not make people feel vicious, but was full of the power of the king of forests, making people willing to surrender. The long-maned horse with flying long manes exuded endless pride and its strong body was full of strength, as if a best horse was waiting for its mentor.
There are other Tenglongs like gods, simple and reliable stout cows, cute and realistic white rabbits, etc., which really show the characteristics of every animal, making people feel endless love in their hearts.
The boss's wife looked shocked and her face was full of admiration, "Wonderful! So wonderful! Xiu'er, you painted it yourself? Your painting skills have improved again!"
Su Xueyun nodded with a faint smile and said modestly: "Sister Fang, don't praise me, I won't be there either, I like this a little bit."
"Xiu'er, Sister Fang doesn't lie to you. You are born to be a survivor! From the first time you came, to the current paintings you brought, every time you have made progress, and this time it has made great progress. This set of patterns of the twelve zodiac signs can definitely become a fine product. You are really my lucky star." The boss's wife showed joy and carefully stacked the patterns one by one. The joy was beyond words, and she wished she could use all the words of praise on Su Xueyun.
"Sister Fang praised me. Thanks to Sister Fang, I had the opportunity to learn so much. Otherwise, how could a girl from my village have the opportunity to learn these?" Su Xueyun helped her organize the counter with a humble attitude and did not look proud at all.
Li Xiner's eyes flashed with jealousy, and suddenly became suspicious, staring at Su Xueyun and questioned: "You still know that you are a village girl? If you have this ability, why would you be so poor before? You didn't paint it yourself at all, right? Boss, you admire her so much, trust her, and slap me in the face for her, but can I guarantee that my painting was drawn by myself. Can she? Eighty-mostly she was looking for a ghostwriter, right?"
Su Xueyun looked at her leisurely and smiled faintly, "Li Xiner, are you stupid? Or are you stupid? Someone draws this painting but doesn't sell it, but instead writes it for others? Are you willing to change it?"
Li Xiner choked and said angrily: "Don't make a mistake. How could you, a village girl, draw such a painting?"
Su Xueyun asked back, "What's wrong with the village girl? Are you not a village girl? Don't you think you're painting very well?"
The boss lady burst into laughter and glanced at Li Xiner and sneered: "Maybe she regards herself as a phoenix in the mountains. I want me to say that you should be down-to-earth in this life. You must not be too ambitious or jealous. Otherwise, the only one who is embarrassed is yourself. Okay, I have the twelve zodiac signs here. Girl, please go to the boss who knows the goods to recommend yourself."
Li Xiner's face turned pale when she was angry at her words, and she couldn't help but choke: "Do you think I can't find it? I'll let you see how popular my paintings are. You just don't have vision and vision. Sooner or later, you will regret it!"
Li Xiner turned around and left. Su Xueyun said behind her, "Although your paintings are a bit interesting, they are just fun things and cannot be elegant. Moreover, if you are not calm, you cannot draw a good painting. Your paintings have no intention, and the expressions of animals in the paintings are also very stiff, which is in line with the sentence "Drawing a tiger but not a dog," so your paintings can only be considered inferior in the way of flowers."
Li Xiner suddenly stopped and turned around and shouted at her, "You don't need to evaluate me. What are you? Are you worthy?"
"It's not an evaluation, it's just a bit funny. The so-called "Learn to the Waiting Handan" and "Dongshi Xipin". When you see others making money by selling flowers, you are anxious to draw a few pictures for sale. Have you ever thought about what these paintings will be used for? Have you ever thought about what they will be embroidered on? Have you ever thought about what stories they have with the twelve zodiac signs? If you haven't thought about it, it will only be just a joke in the end." Su Xueyun said calmly, but suddenly exposed Li Xiner's little thoughts and made her imitate her clearly.
Li Xiner said anxiously: "Who is learning to walk in Handan? Is it possible that you are the only one selling flowers in this world?"
Su Xueyun said indifferently: "Then I wish you to sell these pictures at a good price. I hope you can meet people who know the goods, otherwise you... animals with strange shapes and strange shapes and don't know what the meaning of them will probably waste money on paper and ink."
The more she said, the less confident Li Xiner was. Li Xiner herself knew that these words were just patterns that children liked in modern times. Although they were very novel in ancient times, if the ancients could not accept them and could not find the fun, then these paintings were waste paper. She really might not be able to sell any of them. But she saw the boss's attitude towards Su Xueyun just now. Su Xueyun had been regarded as a guest of honor. If she couldn't sell a picture, wouldn't it be a shame? How could she not even compare to an ancient village girl?
Li Xiner couldn't find any words to refute, glared at Su Xueyun, snorted coldly and left. She felt very unwilling, and she felt that the boss lady and Su Xueyun were deliberately humiliating her. It must be because Su Xueyun said bad things about her. The boss lady had this attitude. She secretly cheered herself up and went to several other stores with the pattern. However, often she was kicked out as soon as she took out the painting, and even had a bad temper to directly scold her for being delusional, which hurt her mercilessly.
After several times, Li Xiner had gone from being proud and confident to being discouraged. She didn't dare to walk in when she saw the embroidery shop, for fear of seeing the sarcasm and contempt. She returned to the village slowly and didn't even drink saliva for most of the day when she went out. She was thirsty and hungry, but there was nothing cold in the house, and she couldn't feel any concern at all. This made her feel sad and she stood in the yard and cried.
Liang Cheng walked out of the house with a cane and said impatiently: "Why are you crying? What's wrong with you? You don't know what to do if you don't stay at home for a day, so why don't you go to cook quickly? Do you want to starve me to death?"
Li Xiner subconsciously wanted to talk back, but suddenly realized that she wanted to please the three brothers of the Liang family. Anyway, it was just a stepping stone, so why bother with him? After thinking about this, Li Xiner immediately held back her tears, responded, and lowered her head into the kitchen. Seeing that she was so obedient, Liang Cheng let go of her brows and smiled. Liang Laosan in the west room saw this scene through the window but shook his head, closed the window and focused on studying.
When Li Xiner was cooking, she stuffed the pictures she had finally drawn into the stove, as if she had burned them together with the ridicule and contempt. She always believed that she was different. The suffering now was her motivation for her to move forward. Sooner or later, an outstanding man would save her from the sea of suffering. At least she would not live in such a poor village for the rest of her life.
Li Xiner thought of Su Xueyun's clothes that were several times better than her, and she felt jealous. She swore that she must not live a better life than Su Xueyun, so that Su Xueyun would envy her and be jealous of her. She was not good at her appearance, so she felt uncomfortable for two days. Soon she made tofu, soy milk, tofu, bean sprouts, bean skins, dried tofu and so on. After the number of types, she asked Boss Liang to accompany her to sell things in the town. The location was at the location where Widow Liu set up a stall before, which was diagonally opposite the Su family.
Her grandfather in her previous life sold tofu, so she did very well in these things, especially tofu. Dried tofu has a unique flavor and tasted very good. She was really shameless. She felt that Su Xueyun had made her wronged, so she would make Su Xueyun unable to let that breath. As long as the Su family sold staple food, she would immediately sell soy milk, tofu, and dried tofu. These are all very good things with staple food. Many people really wanted to buy one by the way. Anyway, the location was so close, and the price was only one or two copper coins.
Liu was so angry that he lost his smile on his face. Seeing Su Xueyun was helpless and whispered: "Mom, why do you care about her? Anyway, she has not affected our business."
Liu snorted, "I just can't stand her smugness. Does your sister always glance at you when she sees her? She just made annoy you on purpose, and her heart is really bad."
Su Xueyun smiled and said, "She can do something like this. Mom, if you are really angry, we will not sell steamed buns and pancakes from tomorrow, but only sell bacon braised food. These are not delicious with tofu."
Liu laughed, "This is good. After selling these, we will start selling braised food. The shop will open in two days before selling them."
After the two discussed this, Liu was no longer angry. He expected that after changing the things he wanted to sell, Li Xiner would no longer be able to take advantage of her. Her mood suddenly improved and she became enthusiastic about selling things.
On this day, the Su family sold out the goods quickly. Li Xiner sold them on the first day and didn't prepare much. She almost sold them all at the same time as the Su family. She made a total of 100 million yuan, which was much more than what Boss Liang had worked hard in a day. Li Xiner asked Boss Liang to pack up the things, walked to the Su family stall with a smile, and said, "Thank you so much today. I didn't expect the business here to be so good. It seems that I will do more tomorrow."
Su Xueyun smiled and said, "Actually, why do you need to work so hard? Draw two more pictures of flowers and put them on the stall here for a few days. By the way, you have found someone to know the goods, right?"
The smug smile on Li Xiner's face had not yet faded. Thinking of the patterns burned that day, her expression instantly twisted and looked a bit ferocious. She gritted her teeth and said, "That kind of thing is too troublesome, how can it be easier to make tofu? Besides, if the styles are really profitable, why are you still selling goods here?"
Su Xueyun smiled, "There's no way. I want my parents to enjoy the happiness at home, but they insist on making more money to buy flowers for me. Of course, I have to be with my parents. After all, there is such a good parents but no one can cultivate them. We must cherish them."
Li Xiner lowered her face. She had no good parents in two lives and had never experienced the care of her parents. At this time, she looked at Su Xueyun's face full of happiness and hated her very much! She snorted and mocked: "You must cherish it well. You can't get married anyway, so don't you have to flatter your parents? Otherwise, what should I do if my sister-in-law is kicked out in the future? Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
Liu stared at her and shouted, "How did you speak?"
Su Xueyun grabbed Liu and said with a smile: "Mom, why are you angry? Some people think that women cannot live without getting married. Once they marry, they marry three men. We can't force themselves to say that they are wrong, right? After all, they live by themselves, and it has nothing to do with those who are around them. Isn't it a gossip about other people's affairs? " She smiled at Li Xiner and said, "You don't have to worry about whether I can get married. In any case, I can't marry someone to be a communal wife, and we have nothing to talk about. Fortunately, I still have some talent in embroidery, so it's not difficult to support myself."
"Who do you think is the gossiping person?" Li Xiner glared at Su Xueyun fiercely.
Su Xueyun smiled faintly, "I said that kind of crazy woman who likes to stare at other people's lives, are you?"
"You!" Li Xiner's chest was so angry that she was undulating, but she didn't know what to reply. She was so crowded by so many people watching.
Boss Liang packed up his things and came over to pull her, "Let's go, don't show your shame outside."
Li Xiner was so angry that she said, "I was bullied, don't you know how to help me?"
"Don't you be grateful for your money today? Are you embarrassed and saying that you are wrong? You talk less, go home quickly!" Boss Liang frowned and scolded, nodded to Su Xueyun and the others, and pulled Li Xiner and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
When people saw Li Xiner leaving, they wanted to come to Liu to ask about the sharing of their wife, but when they thought that Su Xueyun had just said that she was a gossip about other people's affairs, they were embarrassed to speak and they all dispersed.
Liu smiled and said, "Xiu'er is becoming more and more capable now, and her parents can't even get into the mouth."
Su Xueyun held her arm and smiled, "How can parents do this kind of trivial matter? Besides, she is your junior, so I really let you tell her that others may think that you are bullying the junior. Anyway, she is targeting me, and I will never let her bully her."
Su Dapeng sighed, "The Liang family is really defeated, and there is no backbone at all. He relies on a woman to make money and put the blame on women. He doesn't take any responsibility for anything, which is far worse than their grandfather."
"Hmph, didn't their family lose long ago? Their father owed so much debts, and their mother fell ill after being unable to bear the blow, and she fell ill from then on. " Liu was disgusted with the Liang family. For Liang Cheng, she had a very bad relationship with her daughter at the time. If it weren't for the things that happened later, her daughter might have been abducted by Liang Cheng long ago, and she wouldn't like Liang Cheng's two brothers who didn't distinguish right from wrong.
Su Xueyun smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to them. Anyway, our shop has been built. After two days, they can't run to the shop to set up a stall at the shop."
Liu smiled casually, "If they dare to go, I dare to break their legs."
"You old woman are getting more and more powerful. Can you beat them at will?" Su Dapeng tied everything to the wooden car and joked.
Liu smiled and said, "You can't talk if you don't fight?"
The three of them went home chatting and laughing, without being affected by Li Xiner at all. After they got home, Liu went to count the money and keep the accounts. Su Xueyun prepared the cured meat and braised food to sell the next day, while Su Dapeng took a tobacco pot and went for a walk in the village. Their family now eats meat every day, and the fragrance floats to the neighbors, and everyone knows it. As soon as he walks around the village, someone comes up to talk. Although he doesn't like to talk much, he is willing to establish a good relationship with everyone like this. He can't rely on his daughter for everything. He also wants to help the family do more things in his own way.
Li Xiner also wanted to eat meat, especially because she earned 100 cents this day. What if she bought some meat? This is how the Su family started. But Liang Da said she was unwilling to do anything, so she put away the 100 cents, saying that she wanted to treat Liang Cheng's legs and buy paper and ink for Liang Laosan to maintain her body. The most important thing was that she had to save money and had to pay Su Xueyun two and a half taels of silver, so she could not spend a penny indiscriminately. Li Xiner was so angry that she worked hard to make money, but she couldn't even eat a bite of meat and gave the money to Su Xueyun. Then wouldn't her showing off her power in the day become a joke? But she didn't want to be sold by the Liang family, so she had to pretend to be considerate and caring, and obediently agreed to Liang Da's words, and her resentment increased day by day.
The next day, the Su family stopped selling any staple food, and sold them all with strong flavors of marinated meat, braised chicken and braised eggs. The customers had tasted it before, but they had long thought about buying it. When they saw that the Su family started selling, they immediately grabbed it. In less than half an hour, they snatched all the things on the wooden car. Everyone was busy grabbing more, so who had the intention to buy Li Xiner’s bean products? Even though she screamed hoarsely, she didn’t pull a few customers over.
The most tragic thing is that Li Xiner made the same mistake as Widow Liu. She tasted the sweetness on the first day and made twice as much on the second day. Now, the soy products are easy to break. After she made so many, she couldn't sell them, so she just waited for the sourness!
Li Xiner was so anxious that she kept cursing, saying that it must be Su Xueyun's idea and came to harm her on purpose. Boss Liang looked at Su Xueyun, then looked at the lively scene in front of the Su family stall, and closed her eyes weakly. It felt like he was wrong step by step. If they had sold the wild boar and tried hard to join in to propose marriage to Su Xueyun, the wealthy family would be their Liang family. But he exchanged the wild boar for Li Xiner's shared wife, which made the family go crazy and unlucky. It was like getting a broom star back and getting worse and worse. He could only see the Su family getting better and better and farther away from them.
Boss Liang still needs shame. She grabbed Li Xiner and told her not to talk much, and to concentrate on selling her own things, so she should not feel unhappy with the Su family. Li Xiner was unwilling to give up, but when she thought that several times of confrontation with Su Xueyun ended in a crushing defeat, she was also a little scared, so she stopped looking at the Su family and continued to sell.
After that, Li Xiner didn't dare to do so much, and she didn't sell well. She could only earn 20 to 30 cents a day. Not to mention that the business was getting better and better, even the 100 cents she sold at the beginning could not compare with. After deducting two manpower and bean capital, she earned even less.
At this time, all the Su family's shops were ready. On this day, Li Xiner went to the town to set up a stall as usual. After waiting for a long time, she didn't see the Su family coming. Even the Su family's stall was occupied by others. She asked someone to inquire about it, and then she realized that Su Ji snack shop was open! She looked at her own poorly few customers, and compared the Su family, which opened a shop after not doing long business, she was unbalanced and could not figure out how a modern college student could not compare to an ancient ignorant village girl. She was afraid that Boss Liang would not let her go, so she found an excuse to show respect. While Boss Liang was not paying attention, she quietly ran to Su Ji snack shop.
Su Ji's location is not a good location, but it is not a bad location. It is very suitable for them to become famous by the taste of snacks. The so-called wine is not afraid of the deep alleys. They neither go to the place where the rent is too expensive nor ask big to go to a certain alley. They still have a very accurate grasp of their positioning.
Su Baizhu invited people to set off firecrackers and dance lions at the door. Many new and old customers watched at the door. The scene was very lively. A pot of braised soup was boiled by the shop door. The mellow and tempting smell came to the nose, making everyone want to rush in and buy it. Su Xueyun and Su Baizhu kept accusing everyone of their appetites and made the whole street know about the opening, so they invited them to buy things. Seeing those people rushing to grab it, those who didn't know thought they were buying New Year's goods.
Su Xueyun and the others were so busy that they were two people who didn't even have the chance to speak, but the smile on their faces never fell, and it was obvious that they were happy from the inside out.
Li Xiner looked at this scene in a daze, unable to believe that the Su family's business would be so hot. There were so many things and so many meats, she never knew that there were so many rich families in the town. Isn't this much more expensive than buying meat herself? She looked at the smile on Su Xueyun's face and always felt that it was a ridicule of her. She laughed at how naive she had before, and she went to mock the Su family.
Looking further, it was just a matter of causing trouble for herself. Li Xiner gritted her teeth and squeezed out of the crowd. She looked back at Su Ji, with a strange smile on her face, and then walked towards the place where the beggars often went.
Li Xiner's way to take revenge is very simple. Don't those time travel articles be missed whenever there is any good prescription? Now that Su Ji's things are so good, they should be missed. No matter whether Su Ji can be defeated in the end, it is also good to disgust them once.
Li Xiner used the copper coins she had hidden to bribe several little beggars and asked them to go to various restaurants to yell the secret recipe of Su Ji. There were only three restaurants in the town, as well as small restaurants and taverns. It was always a bit fundamental to being able to be in such a long time. She didn't believe that none of them were thinking about the "secret recipe of ancestors"!
I have to say that Li Xiner's method is really very useful. No restaurant will think that there are many special dishes in their homes. They search for recipes for delicious food from all over the world to make their own restaurants more distinctive. Some of this kind of "search" is normal for buying and selling, while others are just scheming or forcing them to rob, which depends on the character of the restaurant manager.
The first place in the town is Yunlailou. The name is really not wrong. The guests in this restaurant are real guests, and the business is very good. The second place is called Wangjianglou. It is located on the riverside and there is a row of seats that can be Wangjiang. It is a unique and elegant. These two restaurants have been open in the town for decades and are considered to be old brands in the town.
The last one is the rising star, called Zhaocai Building. It doesn't look like a restaurant, but it has become the current climate in just five years. The boss is also a person who should not be underestimated. It is said that Zhaocai Building is famous for its special dishes. There are many dishes that are not locally available in the building, which has attracted many customers to go to the building to taste.
After Li Xiner asked the little beggar to yell out the secret recipe of the ancestors, the waiter of Zhaocai Building came to Su Baizhu who was helping Su Ji, glanced up, looked down on others, and said bluntly: "Your shop has a good food. Our boss likes you. I'll give you two taels of silver and bring the recipe over."
Su Baizhu frowned, "My family doesn't sell the goods, please go back."
The waiter then turned his eyes on him, looked him up and down, and laughed as if he was looking at an idiot: "Don't sell it? Do you know who our boss is? We are Zhaocai Building! The boss's favorite things are your blessing, don't you sell them? Humph, you can try it?"
"I only know that the matter in this town is managed by the county magistrate, but not by the Zhaocai Building. There is no reason to force people to sell things no matter where they are. You go, we won't sell them." Such things cannot be stopped. Su Baizhu's attitude was very clear, and there was no room for negotiation.
The waiter was so angry that he left a sentence "Let's see" and then left.
Su Xueyun lifted the curtain and said, "Brother, Zhaocai Building has a crush on our prescription?"
"This matter is not uncommon, don't be afraid. I'll ask someone to inquire first. I'll see if the strictness is serious. There are more than one restaurant in the town. Yunlaitou and Wangjiang Tower have a foundation than Zhaocai Tower. Even if you have to sell it, there are other ways." Su Baizhu comforted Su Xueyun, not wanting his sister to worry about this matter.
Su Xueyun nodded and said, "Brother, you are right. Zhaocai Building is still a little weaker than the other two companies. I saw that the man had a little anxious temper just now. I'm afraid Zhaocai Building will have to make any moves. Why don't I go to Yunlai Building and Wangjiang Building to take a look."
Su Baizhu said: "Just go, it's not easy for you, a girl, to show up in public."
To be continued...
