Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 234, something happened in Beijing

Shopkeeper Xiang roughly calculated the time: "Shopkeeper Xiao's calligraphy and painting are of course the sooner the better. On October 28, Yaoshan Temple will hold a meeting. Seeing that it is less than twenty days, you can come out in four or five days. Twenty characters, twenty paintings?"

Xiao Qing lowered her eyebrows and counted the time roughly. These days, she still has to go to Beijing. The round trip will take about a few days. I'm afraid it won't be easy to come out within four or five days. It takes time to polish the quality of the paintings and calligraphy, or just throw them away When one piece comes out, it is waste paper.

"Words can be produced in one or two days, but twenty paintings may not be produced in four or five days, unless shopkeeper Fang and shopkeeper You want defective products or copies, otherwise they want high-quality products with profound artistic conception and high-quality Paintings, twenty paintings do not come out in two or three months, and even if they come out in two or three months, they may not be of high quality." Xiao Qing said seriously.

Those who understand painting must know that she is telling the truth. Painting is more difficult to produce than words. Painting needs to be honed, carefully arranged, and it needs to be honed. .

"Oh!" said to the shopkeeper, "Then shopkeeper Xiao please hurry up, when you come out with a picture, a word, we will pay for a picture and a word, do you think so?"

Xiao Qing hummed, if her paintings were as famous as her calligraphy, she wouldn't sell them at such a low price.

After several people discussed it, the matter was settled.

Although Fang Huai was still angry before leaving, at least he had some confidence in this porcelain conference, and his heart was relieved.

Thinking of the fact that if the prince knows that their porcelain paintings are made by Xiao Qing, will the prince pay more attention to their porcelain in the competition?
Yes, definitely will!

Hehe, after spending so much money, if he doesn't, his heart will die of pain!
After seeing off a few shopkeepers, Zhou Chuan accompanied Xiao Qing back to the yard and sat down with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Xiao and these shopkeepers can be handled so well by you. It's really rare. You know, these people are in the county, but they are notoriously difficult to deal with. I have heard that these people use many tricks to make money. They are dazzled, and sometimes they are despicable, shopkeeper Xiao will negotiate with them in the future, and everything must be handled carefully!" Zhou Chuan kindly reminded.

Xiao Qing hummed, she had a deep understanding, and she invited him to sit down: "Sit down, shopkeeper Zhou, you are right, these people are very thoughtful, if it wasn't for Ah Luan this morning, I would almost have fallen for their tricks. "

Zhou Chuan listened to her words, glanced at Ah Luan who was sitting by the side, and asked with a smile, "This is...?"

Ah Luan propped his chin in his hand, playing with the iron pipe in his hand on the table, no matter what the two of them said.

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "Oh, he is Ah Luan, a man from the yamen, temporarily staying at my house, just helping my house and earning a living."

Zhou Chuan bowed to Ah Luan: "Oh, I didn't expect Brother Ah Luan to be able to deal with these few at such a young age. It's rare and rare. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Ah Luan didn't respond, he raised his head and sneered at him for a moment, then continued to play with the iron pipe in his hand with his head propped up.

Xiao Qing rolled his eyes at Ah Luan, what's his attitude?Zhou Chuan is an important partner in her business, people say nice things to compliment him, why respond with this attitude?

She quickly explained with a smile: "Don't pay attention to Mr. Zhou. He lived in the mountains before. He didn't fit in well and was a bit lonely."

Zhou Chuan nodded and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay!"

"Shopkeeper Xiao, you send away a few Great Plague Buddhas with your front foot, and I will send you a Great Plague God with your back foot!"

When Xiao Qing heard it, it was indeed a bad thing.

"Is something wrong with Shangjing cornel noodles?" She asked carefully.

Zhou Chuan's face was serious, and his smile faded away: "Shopkeeper Xiao is quick-witted, and he guessed right. It is true that something happened to Qingfeng Restaurant and Hangover Restaurant in Shangjing. The shopkeeper Jiang of Qingfeng Restaurant wrote to say that because spicy food is prevalent in Shangjing. , set off a wave of chasing spicy food, most of them were dignitaries in the court, one of the noble ministers tasted their spicy food, and began to come to eat it politely, but as time passed, this noble minister every day I would eat every meal, and it was even more exaggerated to ask me, shopkeeper Jiang, to deliver food to his house in person, but shopkeeper Jiang’s restaurant can only sell five catties of dogwood noodles every day, and most of the restaurant is full of family members of the ministers of the court. He is a I can’t afford to be offended, I have repeatedly said that I can’t send it alone, the things are few and expensive, but the noble minister said, if my two friends don’t follow suit, let them close the Qingfeng Restaurant!” Zhou Chuan sighed He said: "Later, my friend from the restaurant told you about it, saying that you had less supply here, and it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Now, that's all right. The noble minister shouted that he wanted to see shopkeeper Xiao, and he wanted to see you. Let you make a special trip to send dogwood noodles to his house! Ask yourself how honorable a person who sells dogwood noodles is..., it doesn’t matter if you say it or not, shopkeeper Xiao, look at this..."

After hearing this, Xiao Qing's face sank, court officials?

She worriedly asked: "Treasurer Zhou, tell me, what is the identity of this noble minister?"

Zhou Chuan glanced at Xiao Qing, and sighed: "Yes... the son of the grand master of the dynasty, oh, he is just a bastard, raised in an outer courtyard. It is said that this person usually walks around the streets, chasing chickens and beating dogs. He is very bad. With the power of my father, I caused a lot of bad things in various restaurants, workshops, temples, and nunneries in Shangjing. This time he asked to see you by name. My friend sent a letter and said that he would not see you in three days. Shopkeeper Xiao, the grand master’s son is going to demolish Qingfeng Restaurant, smash their restaurant, and drive the people from Qingfeng Restaurant out of Shangjing!”

"This is too lawless. Doesn't the grand master care? If they can't eat Juewei, they will be ruined. What kind of reasoning is this? At the feet of the emperor, can such a person be allowed to be rampant?" Xiao Qing asked in surprise.

Zhou Chuan said with a sullen face: "Yeah, no one can care about it. He was born by the grand master's favorite concubine, and it hurts like a baby bump when he was born. How can the power that shopkeeper Jiang relies on in Shangjing be more powerful than the grand master?" Master, he dares to be angry but dare not speak up!"

Xiao Qing was counting the days, it was too late, she had just promised Fang Huai and others to help them write calligraphy and paintings, she would go to Beijing to deal with this matter, if it was soon, it would take two or three days to come back, if it was later, it would probably take more than ten days to go back.

And Yaoshan, she still has to walk a lot before she can change the chili powder noodles.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I can't get away from here!" Xiao Qing wondered: "You also saw that these people are also anxious to ask me for calligraphy and painting today?"

Zhou Chuan sighed: "But he is the son of the grand master, so we can't be negligent. If we are a powerless businessman who goes against them, wouldn't it be self-destructive? They can crush us to death with one finger."

Xiao Qing knew that what Zhou Chuan said was true, they really couldn't afford to offend the grand master's sons, those people were too far away for them, when they went to Beijing, they were all nobles, their status was very different from theirs If it is too big, offending them is like walking on the edge of a knife. If you are not careful, you will fall to your death.
