Chapter 44: The Cart

"I can't sell it..."

Dongfang Weiming, Nie Yunzhu sat on the steps in front of the small building, holding her chin and saying with some distress.

"A few days ago, as Mr. Ning said, I went to find the managers of several nearby restaurants, but they said that no one had eaten this before, and it was too expensive to sell it, so I would not sell it on their counter."

After all, the productivity is insufficient these days. Foods such as rice, flour, and grains are the concept of filling the hunger. The price is cheaper, and meat and eggs are a bit expensive. In terms of proportion, if a pancake costs two cents each, it can be regarded as one yuan, and a salted egg costs ten cents each is five yuan. Songhua eggs are sold for twenty yuan at Ning Yi's suggestion, which is close to the meaning of luxury goods. In this year when people only occasionally eat meat and eggs, this kind of thing is naturally difficult to sell.

Of course, there are still many rich people in Jiangning. In terms of brothels, the more popular girls will enter the door, which is three jin of silver, three thousand words of silver, and three thousand words of silver, and three jin of silver. It is a total of nine jin per time, and 4,500 yuan per time. The price of girls who sell their bodies is extremely exceptional. If they don’t sell their bodies, such as Yuan Jiner, Lu Caicai, Qilan, Nie Yunzhu and others in the past, it will be even higher. There is no limit to this, but a large group of people are waiting to spend money. If you are stingy, you will not have to enter the door. If you are stingy, you will still be stingy when you enter the door, and you will naturally not miss you next time. Just like Su Tan'er's brothers every time they charge dozens of silver from her, it is already a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but they really have to be rich and make a bunch of friends, which is just one or two times.

Those who are willing to spend nine thousand citations to find girls may not be willing to eat twenty-month citrus eggs at roadside stalls, but at least it proves that this purchasing power is still available in Jiangning.

If you want to sell the price of 20 cents, you have to find some more high-end places nearby, famous teahouses and restaurants, and ask them to help you consign. But this is a new thing after all. You say I will sell an egg for 20 cents and help. They are not charitable. Nie Yunzhu was naturally very talented in the past, and she was beautiful and considered a talented woman. But these skills naturally couldn't get a straightforward approach to business. The consignment of these 20 cents and one was not completed. There were two restaurant managers who didn't talk to her at all, and one of them saw that she was beautiful but came out to sell pancakes. She wanted to touch her, so she left.

This is naturally a blow to Nie Yunzhu, who is determined to get rid of her previous identity and is working hard to make money like an ordinary person. However, she is also stubborn. If ordinary people encounter such a thing, they may consider not selling peeled eggs anymore, but she can't see such a plan. Ning Yi was sweating all the way, holding a copper plate in his hand and then smiled: "Speaking of all, I have made a bet with someone recently, saying that the pineapple egg can be sold in one month."

"Sell it?"

"Well, you have to sell at least twenty or thirty every day."

"…Uh.” Nie Yunzhu thought for a while, then laughed, "I will try my best to sell thirty ones. Actually... I might be able to put a batch in Jinfeng Tower..."

Nie Yunzhu obviously hesitated for a while before saying this. What she was thinking at this time was obviously different from what Ning Yi thought. In her opinion, Ning Yi is a man with a good personality and a unique and humorous talent, but he is probably inseparable from doing business. He has now invented this pineapple and asked him to help sell it. Perhaps he was boasting about it. This is also a human nature. If he couldn't sell so much, he would have to lose face. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, she would probably not consider Jinfeng Tower again. Although the mother in the building abides by the contract and did not force her any more, it might not be necessary to say that she is a good person. It is not easy to repay if she owe favors. But no matter what, using such a relationship is probably the only way she can think of at this time.

Ning Yi was slightly stunned when he heard her talk about Jinfeng Tower, and then realized: "No need to do this." He shook his head, then pointed to the shed where the cart was parked, "Closing the stall early today and packing the cart. Now it's too simple and can't sell for twenty cents."

"Package?"

"Uh...it's just decorate it casually."

Nie Yunzhu nodded and showed that she understood with a puzzled look...

After school at noon, Ning Yi went to the market for dinner, and then bought various paints, brushes and brushes to Nie Yunzhu. Nie Yunzhu then knew what he was going to do. In the afternoon, Ning Yi cleaned the car, and Ning Yi made a simple composition with chalk, and after thinking for a while, he moved a short stool and sat down to start the pen.

Nie Yunzhu couldn't help at this time, but occasionally squatted and looked around for a while. When he returned to the room and saw Hu Tao, Hu Tao said, "Does Mr. Ning want to paint in the car to sell pineapple eggs?"

"I think so."

"But, can paint be done well..."

"A lot of lacquerware is also painted with lacquer. Young Master Ning... I think he has also learned something about this..."

Nie Yunzhu was actually a little worried. The art of music, chess, calligraphy and painting is elegant. Ning Yi’s painting skills are different. However, his current reputation is that he paints on such a small cart just to sell the pine flower eggs. If it is known, he is afraid that he will criticize him again. The better he draws, the greater the risk.

On the other hand, Hu Tao was actually in a bad mood. She has been worried about the lady recently. Since the day of Yuanxi, Ning Yi, who had contacted the lady, was the number one talented man, and she was really talented and learned, her worries have increased day by day. In her opinion, although she wanted to get married with Erniu earlier, she was not at all at ease. Now the lady seems to have a good impression of this person, but this is something, as the lady said: she can't marry.

The other party is a son-in-law. Even if the lady likes him, there will be no result. The higher the talent, the more the lady is, the deeper the ladies will fall into it. Instead, they cannot like others. The Su family is in great power. If the other party’s wife knows about this and comes to her, what can she do? Thinking about it like this, I become more anxious.

During the middle, Ning Yi also called Nie Yunzhu out once and asked her whether the stall should be called "Nie Ji" or "Zhu Ji". Nie Yunzhu thought about it and chose Bamboo Ji.

In the evening, the sunset shone from one side of the Qinhuai River bend, 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 the style of this painting before!

It’s not that the painting is too bad, but 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 lacquerware patterns, either delicate or rough, but the car in front of you is definitely the only one of the entire era. The picture is actually simple, just a few bamboos symbolize a corner of the bamboo forest after the rain, secluded in a fog, and one side draws a skin egg with four petals cut, which is not very lifelike. The words "Bamboo Record Pine Flower Egg" float on the picture - but the picture is three-dimensional.

For Ning Yi, it is just a simple method to control the unbalanced proportions of each part of the drawing to achieve the effect of inserting the view of the bamboo forest. The five words "Bamboo Record Pine Flower Egg" are combined with the floating shadow, which has a fall or floating effect in the fog. However, the peeled egg is not satisfactory and cannot match the very beautiful and appropriate color for a while, so it can only look a little bit more beautiful. Since the paint mixing will appear blurry, Ning Yi carefully added clear black lines on the edges of several different patterns, which will more obviously cause conflict and three-dimensionality. If this car is pushed out, it will definitely attract the attention of passers-by as soon as possible. Moreover, it is different from mainstream paintings. Others will only think it is a path that a businessman thinks, but will not think it is a scroll carefully drawn by a talented man.

The conditions are limited, but looking at the other person's surprised look, in general, Ning Yi was still satisfied with the results. Perhaps remembering Ning Yi's strange taste in music, Nie Yunzhu said: "Li Heng is so in painting... Well, it's so strange. This style is something that Yunzhu has never seen before, but it seems like it is about to grow from the wall of a car..."

If the painting is a more realistic style, the impact of the first glance is simple. This is different from the taste of music. Nie Yunzhu wanted to reach out and touch the pillar, so Ning Yi smiled and called her, then pointed to the awning above.

"The paint has not dried, but it cannot be touched. The awning on it should be changed. I will buy it tomorrow. The paint has not dried these days, and you can't do business. Uh... we need to prepare some things, beautiful small dishes, various sauces, vinegar, tofu, and eat them in a variety of ways, and look clean and beautiful. Well, this is the first step..." Ning Yi calculated, "After these things, let's solve the problem of stubbornness in the restaurant..."

In the next few days, things were done step by step, beautiful dishes, purchasing various sauces, and eating them. Ning Yi came over every afternoon, and Nie Yunzhu also seemed happy, but Hu Tao was unhappy. At night, he complained to the lady: "Miss, purchasing those things is not worth it..."

Ning Yi chose very beautiful dishes. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is not very practical and expensive. Although half of these things are paid by Ning Yi, it is considered to be a shareholding, but in Hu Tao, it doesn't make much sense. There is not much money at home, so it can be used for a while if you save some money, but now it is like Ning Yi is spending money randomly, and the lady is unwilling to refuse, so she can only follow her. At that time, Young Master Ning doesn't care about wasting money. What can the lady do? Wouldn't spend her final fortune?

"If Hu Tao says, Mr. Ning must be very good at learning, there is nothing to say about this. But he may not know how to do business. We are just setting up a small stall. There are not so many things to pay attention to. Miss, you can't accompany him to make trouble! We can't afford to make trouble..."

"Young Master Ning is a person with real talent and knowledge. Since he is so confident, I naturally believe him. Before the end, how could you know that Hu Tao have no choice?" In fact, Nie Yunzhu had no idea, but naturally he could only say this to Hu Tao.

"Does there be few talented ladies?" Hu Tao retorted, "Talented learning is talented learning, and doing business is doing business. Those talented people still gamble and make money, and they are not famous in the end. Although Hu Tao doesn't understand, she has seen too many people who set up stalls on the street, which are all like this, and those big restaurants or brothels are all different. Miss, Mr. Ning married into the merchant family. I heard that his wife was very good at managing the Su family. Maybe he just couldn't swallow his breath and used the ladies as an experiment..."

"Shut up!" Nie Yunzhu's eyes narrowed and interrupted her speech.

Hu Tao stood there pursed her lips for a long time, tears rolled down from her eyes, then gritted her teeth and choked and said, "Miss, you know too, you can't marry Mr. Ning. If Miss can marry, Hu Tao won't say anything..."

After saying this, the room was quiet for a long time without any sound. Nie Yunzhu sat beside the bed, leaning against the bed frame next to her, her eyes occasionally changed. After a long time, the light shadow swayed, and then she closed her eyes hard: "I know..." When she opened it again, she smiled slightly.
