Chapter 154: A good start

As soon as Chu Liang's clear voice came out, the visitors who were originally scattered in various corners quickly and elegantly gathered in front of Chu Liang.

There were still people coming up on the first floor and quickly gathered in front of the display stand.

Chu Liang: "I need a helper."

While others were still looking left and right, Zhong Yuanyuan quickly raised her voice: "I'll come, I'll come."

With her small body, she squeezed through the crowd and came to the case. With her round head and round mouth, she asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Chu Liang stretched out his hand and gestured: "Bamboo slips, paper, Mrs. Zhong, choose one?"

Zhong Yuanyuan quickly made a decision: "Of course it's paper."

Chu Liang gave a simple lesson: "The method is the same as silk cloth."

He held a stack of written papers, respectfully nodded to Xu Yi, who was standing at the front, and saluted, "Excuse me, Xu Yi. Please take a piece of paper at will."

Xu Yi agreed.

Chu Liang then showed the contents of the paper he pulled out to everyone: "Can everyone see it clearly?"

Someone said: "It's Jianjia."

"Yes, that's right."

"See clearly."

Then Chu Liang held the carving knife in his hand, took another bamboo slip, and said to Zhong Yuanyuan: "Miss Zhong, if you are ready? Let's start now."

Under everyone's envious and curious gazes, Zhong Yuanyuan took up pen and wrote this poem that she had already known by heart.

Chu Liang slowly started carving one stroke at a time.

Zhong Yuanyuan finished writing in one breath and put down the ink pen.

Chu Liangcai only carved the first line, "Jianjia is green, white dew is frost." He put down the carving knife and asked, "Ms. Zhong, how do you feel?"

Zhong Yuanyuan: "Compared to silk books, they are a bit clumsy, but compared to bamboo slips, they are much more convenient. There are many other categories. Mr. Chu, can I still try?"

Chu Liang just smiled and asked the audience: "Are there any other young ladies who would like to try?"

A group of people in the audience raised their hands and gathered around him.

Zhong Yuanyuan knew she had lost her chance, so she turned around and jumped down, quickly following behind Xu Yi. The two of them started to sweep away all kinds of paper in a tacit understanding and quietly.

Seeing that the number of people trying to write on the paper was almost gone, Chu Liang took out a pottery basin and said very sincerely: "Phoenix Tower treats guests with sincerity. Although the paper is good, its shortcomings are also very obvious. It is afraid of fire and water, and is flammable and moisture-proof.

Everyone, please take a look." He took out a piece of paper with the darkest color and lit it with a fire origami.

Everyone followed his movements and almost subconsciously wanted to move forward to save the innocent piece of paper that was burned.

What a waste of such a good thing.

Chu Liang instantly took out another pot of water, poured it into the basin, took another piece of paper, and annihilated it.

The display of shortcomings did not make anyone present lose interest in the paper. On the contrary, they wanted to try it out more, and more of them tried to buy it directly.

"This is the first time I've seen someone so honest."

"Yes, not only did I tell you everything, but I also directly showed my shortcomings."

"Why are there so many people? When will it be our turn?"

"What?" Zhong Yuanyuan's charming loli voice once again attracted everyone's attention, "Each person is limited to ten volumes?"

Xu Yi also asked: "Isn't this a little too little?"

Zhong Yuanyuan: "Since we are open, why don't we prepare more? How can we get enough if there are so few?"

The rest of the people who were still queuing up in front of the display table to try their hands immediately turned to the various papers on the bookshelves and began to scan them.

While Zhong Yuanyuan was still arguing with the shopkeeper about the inventory, Xu Yi walked up to Chu Liang, who was slowly carving bamboo slips: "Fourth Young Master Chu, open the door to welcome guests. There is always a way to buy more."

Chu Liang stood up, saluted, and gestured behind him. He didn't care to say anything more, and shouted to the front: "Paper is easy to tear. There is no need to use silk for this. Be careful!"

At this voice, the two people fighting over there stopped and replied with a smile: "Young Master Chu is joking, if this is silk cloth, how can we dare to grab it like this?" How can we get such a large amount of monthly money?

.

Xu Yi glanced at Huiji Ju in a lively manner, but now he felt uneasy about buying the storage cabinet.

paper on the table, holding them all in his arms, and walked to the corner.

There are two doors in front of you. One has the words "Male Guests Stop", and the other has the words "The visitor is a guest".

Xu Yi opened the door on the right.

Meng Quezhi and Xu Qingqing downstairs watched helplessly as more and more people entered the Phoenix Tower, without even looking at them, and went straight to the second floor.

Chu Xujun hurriedly took Shopkeeper Meng to the stairs and coaxed kindly: "The second floor is full. I'll give you a number. This is our new ice drink. Please try it."

While waiting for shopkeeper Meng to call their number, most of them would shop for drinks and pay a few extra copper coins.

As a result, ice drinks and tofu have made money even if the first cup is free.

**********

What greeted Xu Yi on the second floor was a tea room.

There was a touch of sandalwood, and in the center was a wooden eight-leaf flower-flowered four-season screen, with vaguely visible human figures: "Please sit down." A pleasant voice said, regardless of gender.

Xu Yi knelt down on the futon at the desk. Opposite him was a bookshelf displaying various types of paper, but no price or quantity was indicated.

"Let's get straight to the point, sir, please choose."

Xu Yi: "If you want both, how much will it cost?"

The person behind the screen said with a smile, "Then let's talk in detail."

After all the girls from the Zhen'an Poetry Club had finished their purchases, they all gathered around Zhong Yuanyuan. Only then did she realize: "Why is the Chu family's sister missing?"

"Come on Yuanyuan, there is a door here."

While carving the bamboo slips, Chu Liang looked in all directions and said kindly: "Sisters, please go up and have a look."

Zhong Yuanyuan pushed open the door on the left, and there was a ladder spiraling up. She took the lead and walked up.

Mother Meng stood on the third floor waiting for them with a smile.

Beautiful ready-made clothes, exquisite jewelry, dazzling sets of rouge and lipstick.

They were dazzled by what they saw and started to change: "This one, I have the whole one."

Usually, most of the girls are at home, waiting for the shopkeeper to come to the door, bringing the best and latest cloth, and then the embroiderer will make it custom-made.

Even the head noodles are sent home for them to choose. This is the dignity of the noble ladies of the clan.

But today, buying paper on the second floor wasn't enough for them. When they got to the third floor, they couldn't hold back.

Hua Jin'er then came out and said, "My little girl is very good at makeup. It will take half a month to get this set, including the head and face."

"Sister Huajia, this has taken too long. Why don't you just let me take you away first."...

Hua Jin'er: "This is a sample dress, the size is not right. Go inside and let the embroiderer measure it for you."

Zhong Yuanyuan likes lipstick and had a lot of fun at the dressing table: "This tomato red has a really interesting name and the right color."

"Look, it makes you look whiter."

"This box has Xia written on it. Will there be other boxes in the future?"

"This one is the same. It has the moon painted on it and the Chinese Valentine's Day written on it. It really suits the occasion."

"Is it possible that there will be Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day?"

"Maybe you guessed it."

"Sister Chu's family is going to empty our pockets. If we go into the Phoenix Tower, can we leave with money?"

"Yuanyuan, you said there is another door, what could it be? If it weren't for someone, I would have wanted to go in and have a look."

"I've already spent all the money I took out today, and I don't want to try again."

"What's the point? Just record the account and settle it later."

"As a poetry fan of Sister Chu's family, you actually want to pay on credit?"
